The market is segmented into fertilizers, pesticides, adjuvants, and plant growth regulators, with key applications in crop-based and non-crop-based sectors. Market Overview Market Size for 2024: The agrochemicals market is projected to reach USD 253.29 billion. ...
Genetic Technology Agriculture has historically benefited directly from advances in genetic research. Crop productivity increases at a rate of 3% per year. About half of it is driven by enhanced genetics, with genetic gain rates expected to more than double with the implementation of emerging molecular technologies. ...

Avoid excess crop nutrients in your fertilizer strategy to maintain soil health and protect your pocketbook The push to produce higher yields per acre every year continues to weigh heavily on western Canadian farmers. That pressure is accompanied by economic and environmental concerns. Should you invest more money into crop nutrients to reach record yields? Will that investment pay off? Will ...
These innovative compounds help in enhancing the growth and productivity of crops, thereby improving crop yields. Researchers have found that auxins can signal the plant to grow in certain directions or areas, thus controlling plant growth. ...
Transcript: James: Hello, I’m James Preston for Kalkine Media and welcome to another edition of Executive Corner Expert Talks. In this edition, I’ll be sitting down with Patrick Henry, the CEO of GroGuru, a company focused on assisting farmers through modern technology. Patrick, it’s great to have you here with us today. Patrick: Thanks for having me on the show, James. ...

An Agricultural Technologist mainly does two things that keep Pollen Systems flying: researching crops and drawing maps! Agricultural Technologists are often studying ways to improve our analytics and best serve our customers. ...
This season has been, without a doubt, one of the wettest since 2009. In many states, the excessive rain led to flooding and late planting. On my family farm in North Central Iowa, like on many farms throughout the Corn Belt, it was so wet that we couldn’t get into the field to plant on schedule. And the continued wet weather means that now high and variable grain moisture levels are ...
Currently, agriculture uses seventy percent of the freshwaters, globally. Available freshwater sources will not be enough to increase food production to feed growing populations in the coming decades. Therefore, there is a concerted effort to grow crops with seawater. Hence, scientists are investigating the various challenges involved in growing plants with saline water. These include greenhouse ...
The lack of atmosphere, cold temperatures, high radiation and dust storms don’t provide the right conditions to grow crops. It is for this reason that the research will take place in the containers, a completely sealed and self-sustainable environment, for which the climate can be adapted to make it suitable for both crop growth and for ...
The associated sets of water level and water flow data, together with detailed records of the physical conditions, can form the basis for calculating the specific effects of the crop cutting on the water level and the manning number (expressing the resistance to the water's free flow in the watercourse) and the temporal variation thereof. Data can also form the basis for an analysis of how any ...
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 ...
Location: Jefferson, Oregon, USA Application context: Blueberry farm (Vineyard & Orchard) Problem definition: Crop loss due to bird damage in the blueberry farm Pest bird species: Starlings (Sturnidae), Blackbirds (Turdidae), Robins (Turdidae), Swallows (Hirundinidae) Time during the year of bird presence: June – October Time during the day of bird presence: From dusk to dawn ...
Leaf Area Index (LAI), which is used as a measure in hundreds of studies on forests, crops, climate and the environment, is calculated as half the area of all leaves per unit area of ground. It is measured as the leaf area (m2 ) per ground area (m–2) and is unit-less. So, a plant with a LAI of 2 has an amount of leaves that can cover a given area two times. LAI is calculated for a plant or ...

The NIAB EMR team, led by Mark Else (HoD, Crop Science and Production Systems) is working closely with Vasile Agache and his team at Neame Lea to scale-up the approach for commercial production. ...
In California, farmers most often decide to plant crops that thrive between March and October. Cool-season crops — those grown between October and June — may ultimately use less irrigation water according to new research from the University of California, Davis. ...
Next month’s Greenhouse Canada Grower Day is welcoming leading researchers and crop specialists to help you tackle one of the industry’s biggest challenges. ...
There are 13 research institutes under the GDAAS, including specific foods and crops and fertilizer research. The main mission of the institution is to carry out non-profit research around agricultural science and techniques. As one of the most important agricultural crops institutions, the ...
