Recent research projects run by Dr E Thompson (University of Greenwich), the photovoltaics company Polysolar, and Hugh Lowe Farms in Kent, have been exploring the potential for UK soft fruit farms to harness solar power while simultaneously producing high quality crops. By retrofitting semi-transparent photovoltaic materials to glasshouses and polytunnels, the projects have demonstrated how ...
In today’s rapidly changing world of agriculture, effective water management is the secret to having healthy crops, farming sustainably, and achieving maximum yields. With the world’s population increasing and food requirements increasing, farmers are taking up new concepts to farm with greater efficiency and preserve precious water. ...
Grain carts are an effective way to reduce equipment wear and field compaction. Why waste expensive combine hours stopping to unload onto trucks at the end of the field? Or worse, exposing your operation to yield loss by compacting the ground with trucks in the field? Both these practices waste precious harvest time and put unnecessary wear on your equipment. Grain carts stay on the field, ...
Its quality plays a pivotal role in crop health, yield, and overall farm productivity. However, one of the most persistent threats to agricultural water sources is algal blooms. ...
The study was designed to monitor sour rot and crop yields with four applications during the growing season (March to September). ...
Farmers, landscapers, and property managers often struggle to maintain adequate water pressure in irrigation systems. Without consistent pressure, water distribution becomes uneven, leading to poor crop health, inefficient resource usage, and potential damage to the irrigation infrastructure. These issues can hinder productivity and increase operational costs, making it essential to adopt ...
An irrigation system pump plays a critical role in ensuring that crops receive adequate water, enabling farmers to optimize yields and conserve resources. ...
