This conserves precious water resources, prevents soil erosion, and promotes efficient water use. Crop Selection and Rotation: Different crops have varying salt tolerance. EC mapping helps farmers choose the right crop for each soil zone, maximizing yield and minimizing stress on the plants. Additionally, crop ...
For centuries, farmers have relied on intuition, experience, and a hint of superstition to nurture their crops. While time-honored technologies still have value, the modern agricultural landscape has a powerful ally: precision agriculture. ...
Everyone knows the environmental impact carbon emissions have on the environment, speeding up climate change and causing extreme weather conditions. However, fewer people are aware of the importance of using water conservatively, as resources are quickly diminishing across the world, which not only exacerbates climate change, but could also put human and animal life at ...
Considerable losses of soil carbon occurred around the world due to land use and changes in land cover, for instance trough deforestation, crop-grass rotations, peatlands drainage, etc., resulting in a cumulative loss of 133 Gt of ...
One of the most critical parts about a healthy crop rotation is bacteria – both good and bad – because when you change crops, you change pathogens. ...
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. ...
