Components of a Purity Analysis A physical purity test divides the seed sample into distinct categories, each weighed separately: l Pure Seed (PS) – Seeds of the species being tested, including whole seeds and germinable broken seeds containing the embryo. l Other Crop Seeds (OCS) – Seeds of cultivated species other than the crop under analysis. ...
The Relevance of Plant Hormone Analysis Analyzing plant hormones is vital in several contexts: Crop Improvement: Understanding hormonal pathways allows for the development of crops with enhanced growth traits, resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses, and improved nutritional profiles. ...
As global agricultural practices address environmental and economic challenges, regenerative agriculture has stood out as a promising approach to creating more sustainable and robust farming systems. This farming method focuses on restoring soil health, enhancing biodiversity, and improving water cycles, ultimately leading to more sustainable food production. Innovative tools and technologies are ...
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 ...
Agriculture has been the backbone of human civilization for generations, providing the essential resources needed for survival and growth. As global populations continue to rise, the demand for food production has never been greater. Traditional farming methods, once sufficient, are now struggling to meet the demands of modern food production. New-age techniques in crop management provide ...
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, ...
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 ...
Optimizing Crop Yields and Resource Efficiency through Precision Agriculture In the pursuit of sustainable agriculture, precision farming has emerged as a game-changer, revolutionizing agricultural practices and fostering a more efficient and environmentally responsible approach to crop production. ...
” Know what’s in your soil for a better fertilizer plan Healthy, nutrient-dense soils help to grow productive crops. As part of the commitment to supporting growers make the most informed decisions, Decisive Farming by TELUS Agriculture agronomists review soil tests and develop specific recommendations for each zone on a farm to account for variations in texture, ...
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 ...
INTRODUCTION: CROP AREA ESTIMATION The two components of agricultural production estimation are crop area and yield estimation. ...
How do you achieve the highest yields with your lighting system? As we know, increasing light intensity up to a certain species-specific point, results in a corresponding increase in yield. And when light levels are not optimized for production, or the type of crop you are growing, you are going to have slower flowering, poor root development and plant structure, as well as reduced yields. There ...
There are a lot of claims out there about LED and HID lighting, and as manufacturers of both, we always try to show the complete picture. In this article, we try and debunk some common statements made about both LED and HID lighting to help you make better decisions when it comes to grow light ...
Simple structures to protect the crops, having no control over the ambient conditions. Contamination due to agricultural leaching, which has caused great criticism in the environmental aspect. ...
Bayer is investing more than $2.7 billion annually in research to provide a complete portfolio of seeds and traits, crop protection products and digital applications that is unmatched in our industry. ...
The yield analysis tool in FieldView™ allows you to easily review crop performance from your fields to make decisions for next spring and can uncover trends in your harvest data that might have gone unnoticed otherwise. ...
No matter where you are, you’ll want to be ready the moment your crops are - and that means ensuring you’re set up to collect the data that is key to analyzing crop performance and making decisions for the coming season. ...
