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. ...
Modern agriculture faces numerous challenges, such as the ever-increasing population, development of biomass-derived feedstocks for greener industries, developing in a sustainable and rapid manner, the major climate change. All of them pose a major threat to global food and energy security. Synthetic biology can provide tools to address many of these challenges and the industry is likely to be a ...

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. ...
Patrick: It’s more for commercial farmers in what they call the permanent crop business, what they call the perennial crops, which is fruit and nut trees and vineyards. ...

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. However, the bulk of the work during the Pacific Northwest growing season is analyzing imagery collected by our pilots and packaging it into periodic updates for our ...
Chris Souder is one of the regional agronomy leads on our team at Bayer Crop Science, and he has a lot of expertise with managing crops in all sorts of conditions. ...
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 ...
Will the first people to bake and eat bread on Mars do it due to a Belgian breakthrough? This is the challenge facing the SpaceBakery project, a unique consortium composed of seven Belgian organisations using technology provided by Urban Crop Solutions. However, before they use their research to help feed the first people on the red planet later this century, the project aims to have a clear ...
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. ...
Cool season crops have three advantages: the cooler temperatures allow plants to grow without losing as much water through transpiration — like humans’ sweat — as crops that grow during hot weather. ...
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. Whitefly is proving to be one of the most difficult pests to control, mainly due to the lack of effective registered chemicals that can eradicate silverleaf whitefly. It is also due to the unwillingness of biological suppliers to ...
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 Crops Research Institute has been ...
