This dual role of promoting growth while also facilitating stress responses underscores the importance of plant hormones in agriculture. By influencing crop yield and resilience, research into plant hormones has become vital for improving agricultural practices and ensuring food security. ...
Agricultural waste, which includes materials such as crop residues, wood chips, and nutshells, can be a valuable resource when converted into high-quality charcoal. ...
Antibiotics play a crucial role in treating infectious diseases in humans and controlling the spread of diseases among livestock and crops in agriculture. With the increase in antibiotic resistance, it becomes imperative to understand the various methods of antibiotic production to ensure their effectiveness. ...
Insect pheromones are highly specific and have been successfully used to control pest populations, monitor insect activity, and enhance mating in agricultural crops. Oleyl alcohol has several advantages when used as a pheromone. ...
These innovative compounds help in enhancing the growth and productivity of crops, thereby improving crop yields. Researchers have found that auxins can signal the plant to grow in certain directions or areas, thus controlling plant growth. ...
This translates into more efficient nutrient use by crops, leading to increased agricultural productivity. Sustainable Farming Practices The integration of wood charcoal making machines into agriculture fosters sustainable practices. ...
And beyond extreme events, global warming is also predicted to affect agriculture.1,2While climate change is expected to affect agriculture and reduce crop yields, the complete effects of climate change on agriculture and the resultant human food supplies are yet to be fully understood.2,3,4Simulating a Changing ClimateIn order ...
Today, sustainable agriculture entails boosting agricultural crop production while maintaining the ecological resources in which they flourish. Gardeners and farmers have debated the clash between sustainable agriculture and energy crop cultivation technologies that allow bioenergy and biomass ...
FICCI was engaged for collection of data from Indian textiles and agriculture sectors. Under this project, xx datasets from textiles and 25 datasets for agricultural crops were developed which will be available in the ecoinvent database. ...
The following are principles of precision agriculture: Precision agriculture can do improving soil management and crop rotation while maintaining soil quality and water availability to maintain agricultural production in the long term. ...
Climate change is a vast and abstract concept that has been having alarming effects on most sectors of society, be it industrial, agricultural, healthcare, and more. Usually, when people think of environmental threats like deforestation, global warming, water pollution, etc., people directly associate them with human health and conditions. However, it is important to understand that environmental ...
It also used as raw material in industries to make food products. Commercial agriculture marketing also varies from region to region. The Commercial farming meaning is that where farmer producing crops on a large scale. ...
Tackling Malawi's Hidden Hunger through Selenium and Iodine biofortification to green vegetables and conservation agriculture (CA) field crops Introduction In sub-Saharan Africa, micronutrient deficiencies are common in poor and rural areas, due to over-farmed, depleted soils and restricted diets. ...
In addition, it can also reduce the amount of chemical fertilizer and fertilizer cost. With the development of agriculture and the improvement of fertilizer production line technology, agricultural crop production began to reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers. ...
NPK production line can process different chemical fertilizers to obtain agricultural special crop compound fertilizer. NPK fertilizer granulation process can be generally divided into: raw material batching, NPK fertilizer mixing, compound fertilizer granulation, particle drying, particle cooling, particle grading, finished product coating and final product ...
Soil moisture is not only important for crop production, input decisions and yield outcomes – it is an important determinant of runoff volume, flood risk and greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture soil, such as nitrous oxide (N2O). ...
Industrial Exhauster We custom-designed this industrial exhaust air handling fan for crop spraying equipment, with a custom arrangement, custom color, and a diesel engine driver. Braced for extra support, the streamlined heavy-duty design features an angled partial backward inclined blade for increased efficiency and reduce material buildup. Agricultural ...
Managing Production Risk Through Crop Insurance Facilitator: Devinn Lambert, Bioenergy Technologies Office, DOE kicked off this Session Spotlight on algae farming of the Algae Biomass Summit. ...
Fish ponds in red and lateritic soil zones exhibit low availability of phosphorus (P), resulting in restricted accumulation of various fish food organisms and, thereby, lesser fish production. Primary Nutrients in Agriculture and Aquaculture In both agriculture and aquaculture certain nutrients are of key importance for plant growth. The nutrients that most ...
