In addition, Japonilure pheromone specifically targets the Japanese beetle, a common and destructive pest in many crops, making it a valuable tool for farmers looking to protect their crops from damage. ...
Therefore, fungi are responsible for crops damage (25% of the yearly production), whether in the field, during transportation, and / or during storage. ...
Pheromone delivery systems have a wide range of applications, including pest control, crop protection, and animal behavior control. Introduction of Gel Materials for the Release of Pheromone Gel materials are materials that have a three-dimensional network structure, resulting in a viscous and cohesive consistency. ...
Agriculture: In agriculture, hydraulic transporters are utilized for various tasks, ranging from transporting harvested crops to moving equipment around the farm. These machines can be equipped with specialized attachments, such as trailers or bins, to accommodate different agricultural needs. The precision offered by hydraulic systems allows farmers to handle delicate ...
Precision Nutrient Delivery: Nourishing Crops the Smart Way When it comes to agriculture, the precision nutrient delivery systems of the C Eden Series are nothing short of revolutionary. ...
Moreover, integrating water quality sensors into irrigation systems allows for precise water application, tailored to crop and soil type needs. This leads to enhanced water-use efficiency, reduced water waste, and improved crop yield and quality. ...
This helps farmers determine the precise amount of water required by crops at different growth stages. By delivering the right amount of water at the right time, precision irrigation enhances water use efficiency while promoting healthy crop growth. ...
One of the key aspects of precision farming is the ability to move from reactive to proactive practices. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of proactive farming and explore tools and techniques to help growers make the transition from reactive to proactive farming. Precision farming is a modern agricultural technique that uses technology to optimise crop production and ...
To know which options are right for you depends on your location, field history and crop rotation. Don’t forget that organic matter is not a one season solution. ...
Satellite remote sensing data is critical for monitoring soil, drought, snow cover, and crop development. Satellite rainfall estimates, for example, assist farmers in planning the quantity and timing of irrigation required for their crops. ...
In recent years, the damage caused by the blind and excessive application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has become more and more serious. ...
Despite the crop damage from the August derecho winds across much of Iowa and Illinois, there is no question that one way or another the crops will move out of the field come harvest. ...
Incorporating a Spacer on the top of the metal gutter helps aeration improvement significantly and the accumulated moisture that is so damaging to crops is eliminated. When Hydroponic Systems launched its elevated gutter systems onto the market, right from its conception and design, a Spacer was incorporated. ...
Erratic weather conditions and the locust swarms which ensue emphasise the need to fortify crops against damage caused by pests. As global warming continues, it is imperative that forms of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) are further employed to protect against infestation and preclude future crises. ...
When a large amount of fertilizer or fertilizer is applied unevenly, it is easy to cause damage to crops. It may change the pH value of the soil, which is represented by salinization, chemical residue or compaction, while organic fertilizer can only alleviate the disadvantages of chemical fertilizer and improve the utilization rate of fertilizer. ...
Since their appearance, the Spacers have marked a turning point in the efficiency of hydroponic cultivation drainage systems. There are significant advantages to their use and, at the end of the cycle, they have a positive impact on crop quality and yield. The main advantages of Spacers include good root aeration, separation of roots from drainage water (drain spacer) and improved leachate ...
From our experience, NOW activity that occurs early in the season does not always lead to a meaningful second flight that would represent actual risk of crop damage. Below is a chart of moth captures from a Semios customer in 2019. ...
So you need Greeme's affordable heat pump dehumidifier drying of food that consistently balanced moisture making it easier than ever to cure any variety of cheese of all sizes. CROP STORAGE HUMIDIFICATION & HUMIDITY CONTROL In order to keep fresh when handing to the hand of customers, the crops will be cool very rapidly under 2 and 4°C. However, if a ...
moment meant farmers could fertilize their crops unlike ever before, growing food on a massive scale. So massive, in fact, a population explosion ensued – humankind went from 1.6 billion in 1900 to 7.7 billion in 2019. ...
External factors decide about the crop’s qualification for freezing (higher quality) or for a pulp (lower quality). ...
