The starter was ...
Key Difference between Lateral Move Irrigation and Centre Pivot Sprinklers, and What to Consider when Buying Lateral move irrigation systems, similar to center pivots, are a great solution for large fields. While center pivots rotate around a fixed point, laterals move continuously along the field’s length. This self-propelled design covers nearly 98% of the field area uniformly. The ...
"There are economic and environmental pressures to reduce nitrogen levels applied to soil while maintaining high corn yield," said Yongrui Wu. “Identifying genetic factors that increase nitrogen use efficiency is therefore ...
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 Malawi, three-quarters of the population are selenium-deficient, which can lead to weakened ...
Proper weed control early during the growing season is essential for reducing nutrient competition, gaining optimal crop health, and preventing yield loss. Weed management in corn and soybeans can be an extremely difficult problem to tackle and, if left unmanaged, can cause nearly a 52% corn yield loss and 49% ...
But understanding stand count can also reveal critical insights about uniform emergence and plant spacing — both of which can have a substantial effect on yield potential. Even when stand count numbers are good, non-uniform corn emergence can reduce yield potential by as much as 10 percent. ...
When using too little N, a crop such as corn results in lower yields and reduced profits. However, if too much N is applied, profits will be reduced, and environmental impact is likely to occur. ...
First, they identified areas of reduced and conventional tilling from previously published data outlining annual U.S. practices for 2005 to 2016. Using satellite-based crop yield models -- which take into account variables such as climate and crop life-cycles -- they also reviewed corn and soybean yields during this time. ...
Indigo announced yield forecasts in January for corn and soybeans across the Americas, democratizing data for the grower community to better navigate global markets during the U.S. government shutdown. ...
Kernel is also a forecasting system; for the past three seasons, Tellus forecasted US corn and soy yields throughout the growing season. The implications for a model that could do this with accuracy, speed, and breadth would be profound. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) shocked the industry in October of 2017 when it made a record-setting upward ...
Int. J. Agron. Agri. Res. 12(3), 46-51, March 2018. To investigate the maize yield and nutrient concentration in its leaves as affected by biochar from different organic materials (wheat straw and sugarcane bagasse), a field experiment was conducted on maize crop during 2013 at koont research farm chakwal. The treatments were control, wheat straw biochar at 5t ha-1, and 10t ha-1, sugarcane ...
Two years later, he’s seeing major corn yield improvements as a result. Why Hydraulic Down Pressure? ...
In this study, the impact of inter-seasonal climate variability on rainfed maize (Zea mays) production over the Wami-Ruvu basin of Tanzania is evaluated. Daily high-resolution climate simulations from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment_Regional Climate Models (CORDEX_RCMs) are used to drive the Decision Support System for Agro-technological Transfer (DSSAT) to simulate ...
Uncertainties caused by climate change and population explosion require suitable methods for estimating grain yield during the growing seasons. This paper evaluates the applicability of the AquaCrop model in the region of western Kenya. The objectives of the study were to: simulate the long-term maize crop yields for the region using AquaCrop model for variable climate scenarios, and estimate ...
This study was conducted (2010–2012) to analyse the efficiency of irrigation scheduling in maize production based on soil moisture measurements (Watermark soil moisture sensors) in years with extreme weather events at the research site of the Agricultural Institute in Osijek, eastern Croatia. Three irrigation treatments and four maize hybrids were studied. In the extremely rainy 2010, the ...
A three‐year study was conducted on a corn field in Central Illinois, USA, to understand the fate and effects of an insecticidal formulation containing the active ingredients phostebupirim and cyfluthrin. The objectives of the current study were to 1) determine the best tillage practice (conventional versus conservation tillage) in terms of grain yields and ...
The southern rangelands of Kenya are prone to frequent droughts leading to serious food shortages. The effect of the farmer practice (flat seedbed), tied-ridging and contour furrows water harvesting techniques and five integrated nutrient management practices on the performance of rain-fed maize was studied at the southern rangelands of Kenya (Kibwezi) during the 2006 short rainy season. Both ...
As the 2013 corn crop was being planted, futures prices were above $6.00 a bushel with an occasional bump above $7.00. ...
The world is projected to hold a whopping 9.6 billion people by 2050. Figuring out how to feed all these people—while also advancing rural development, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and protecting valuable ecosystems—is one of the greatest challenges of our era. So what’s causing the global food challenge, and how can the world solve it? We begin to answer these questions ...
