The agricultural sector is at a critical stage. With the global population projected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, the demand for food is increasing rampantly. At the same time, there is mounting pressure to adopt sustainable farming practices to protect our planet’s limited resources. This delicate balance between increasing food production and minimizing environmental impact ...
While farming activities have traditionally been associated with greenhouse gas emissions, innovative practices can turn agriculture into a significant carbon sink. This transformation hinges on effective carbon sequestration techniques, which capture and store atmospheric carbon dioxide in soils and plants. Implementing these methods is crucial in our fight against climate change. However, the ...
We all want our gardens, fields, and landscapes to flourish. But in the modern world, water conservation and efficiency are equally significant considerations. This is where Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) becomes a household name for the green-thumbed community. However, the idea of installing subsurface drip system can seem daunting to beginners. Fear not, for we are here to demystify the ...
Precision agriculture (PA) is the use of advanced technologies to optimize field-level management. By leveraging data analytics, GPS, IoT, and various sensors, precision agriculture enables agronomists to make informed decisions, thereby enhancing crop yield and resource efficiency. This modern approach contrasts with traditional farming methods by emphasizing precision in monitoring, managing, ...
One of India’s leading crop protection companies has harnessed the power of remote sensing technology to enhance its interactions with farmers. By offering valuable insights into crop management, covering aspects such as nutrition, irrigation, and pest and disease control. The company has improved the efficacy of crop protection strategies and strengthened its relationships with the farming ...
The integration of agricultural data analytics into farming practices has become increasingly essential. This approach, often termed “smart farming” or “precision farming” uses farm-level data to enhance productivity, sustainability, and profitability. In India, where agriculture is a vital sector supporting the livelihood of millions, the strategic use of data can ...
In the challenging and ever-evolving world of agriculture, where unpredictability reigns and efficiency is paramount, Dowd Hill Farms stands as a testament to the power of innovation and strategic partnerships. Nestled in the expansive landscapes of Dodsland, Saskatchewan, this family-run operation has embraced cutting-edge agricultural technologies to transform its farming practices. The case ...
It can neutralize acidic or alkaline soils, creating optimal conditions for plant growth and nutrient uptake. ...
A review of various surveys on the state of agriculture revealed a connection between low crop yields, reduced incomes, and soil fertility constraints, particularly soil acidity. Additionally, a lack of awareness about soil health and fertility management resulted in the indiscriminate use of input treatments. ...
Central to climate-smart agriculture is the use of weather stations, which provide valuable data on weather patterns, soil conditions, and crop health. This article explores the critical role of weather stations as a key tool for advancing climate-smart agriculture practices. ...

During drought or dry conditions, salinity and pH levels can change quickly in the soil. While the forecast shouldn’t entirely dictate how you manage your farm, understanding and performing the best farming practices when adding seed-placed nutrients can help save your yields when the rain fails to ...
This language is spoken in terms of Electrical Conductivity (EC), and to understand it, we turn to a modern-day translator: the portable soil EC detector. EC, measured in deciSiemens per meter (dS/m), reflects the amount of salt and other dissolved minerals in the soil solution. ...
Monitoring pH allows farmers to adjust soil conditions for optimal plant health. Salinity: Excessive salinity can damage crops and reduce yields. ...
Though it is the foundation of life, soil constitutes only a thin layer of material on the surface of our planet. It provides the necessary weathered minerals, organic materials, air, and water, which are the most precious resources for all living creatures. Plants find life in soil, as it provides a rooting medium and nutrient source for plants to grow. Through healthy plants, ...
