Murara Plants Kenya is one of the leading plant propagators in Africa. It is located in Kericho, in the middle of Kenya’s highlands, west of the Great Rift Valley with an altitude of about 2,150 metres above sea ...
The project has as its overall aim to increase climate resilient agricultural productivity and food security, with a specific objective to increase the water productivity and profitability of smallholder farmers in Mozambique, prioritizing small (family sector) farmers to increase food and nutritional security. This project will demonstrate what the best combinations are of adoption strategies ...
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 ...
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 ...
Terra Agri, an Agriculture Drone Services Business Operating under Terra Drone Indonesia and Terra Drone Agri in Malaysia, Terra Agri is an agricultural service brand offering various services, including crop intelligence and plantation control systems. These systems utilize aerial and ground data to monitor site conditions, offering invaluable insights into ...
How to benefit from connected devices on your farm A growing number of farmers are using the internet of things (IoT) to save time, increase production and reduce costs. So, what is IoT and how can you benefit from using IoT solutions and connected devices in your ...
It is excellent for farmers because they can use fertilizers more efficiently and save money, but it is also helpful for the environment since fertilizers are used more sparingly. Crop Health Monitoring Satellites can monitor agricultural conditions across thousands of square meters. Farmers may use satellite data to detect soil and crop ...
On the other hand, plantation problems such as soil conditions, water, pesticide use, climate change are still not fully resolved. ...
Adding Crop Intelligence to your tool kit creates a number of new opportunities for your farm. ...
Western Canada has a short growing season which makes another pass for top dressing fertilizer sometimes difficult to achieve. Many crops have the fertilizer applied during the seeding season with Liquid Distribution Systems, (like these kits we make here). Often this will meet the crops fertilizer requirements for the whole season. Making one pass makes sense in ...
He defines his way of farming as “resilient agriculture”, a set of practices that boosts yields in good years but also helps keep the trees healthy during drought or other stressful conditions. Cover cropping, the foundation of resilient farming in orchards Chris is a big advocate of cover cropping, a practice that he started to ...
According to a review by Dr. Crocombe, hand-held spectrometers have historically been used by only small groups of people, such as analytical and drug companies. These days, spectroscopy is available in simple low cost devices for a multitude of applications for scientists and non-scientists alike. One of the most prominent uses of spectroscopy has been the use of the technology on leaves for ...
At a time when grain markets continue to strain row crop revenue potential, many farmers are taking steps to do all they can to maximize productivity and yields. Excess water is a common yield robber with corn and other crops. For farmers with heavy, moisture-retaining soils, or slow draining areas in a field, installing drainage tile can improve overall ...
Together the plants produce a wide range of fertilizers that meet the requirements for fertilization of crops under varying climatic conditions and on different soils. Half of the production at Porsgrunn goes to overseas markets, mainly in Asia. ...
Now to hear from the expert himself! What are the best crops to grow in a greenhouse? Theo: As a greenhouse operator you choose crops that are in demand, crops that grow well in your climate conditions, crops that do well in your greenhouse facilities. ...
Tilles mentioned that Bird-X’s newest drone helps protect crops from deprivation by conditioning pest birds to stay away. The combination of a terrifying physical appearance and lifelike predator and bird distress calls are the key to its efficacy. ...
RFID readers fitted to the entrances of the test colonies were used to monitor the activity of the tagged bees for the duration of 5 week flowering period of the crop. These activity data were analysed to assess any impact on flight activity of bees foraging on the treated compared to untreated crops. ...
The first crop chosen to parameterize and test the new FAO AquaCrop model is maize (Zea mays L.). Working mainly with data sets from 6 yr of maize field experiments at Davis, CA, plus another 4 yr of Davis maize canopy data, a set of conservative (nearly constant) parameters of AquaCrop, presumably applicable to widely different conditions and not specific to a ...
The FAO AquaCrop model predicts crop productivity, water requirement, and water use efficiency (WUE) under water-limiting conditions. ...
