In mid-May, the roll-up film of the Rovero Rain canopies is pulled over the arches to protect the fruit from birds and precipitation. "A dry crop keeps fungi at bay," he says. "These cause yield loss and limit shelf life." ...

Knowing, not estimating , means better soil health and profitability Farming in Western Canada means working in a climate of extremes–hot or cold, wet or dry. It’s a conundrum that drives agriculture innovation, new technologies and precision agronomy practices on behalf of Prairie farmers that’s appreciated around the world. ...
Traditionally, farmers hang hemp plants in barns, where it would take 7-10 days for the crop to dry. This process is time-consuming, expensive, requires a great deal of resources to maintain and limits the amount of hemp farmers can produce at each harvest. ...
As planting season approaches, it’s crucial to think about drying before you plant your crop. If hemp is dried cleanly, properly, and promptly, there will be minimal damage or loss. ...
“Part of the problem is people don’t trust the information,” says Ryan Hutchison of South Country Equipment in Saskatchewan. He was at Crop Connect 2019 in Winnipeg to give a presentation called Crop Intelligence — Trusting the Data. ...
Snow might still be on the ground, but it’s never too early to think about the year ahead. Many producers have their crop plans already in place. Last fall’s early snow means spring fertilizing is on the radar for a lot of farmers. ...
Rainfall analysis is essential for agricultural crop planning and water resources management, especially under water scarcity conditions. ...
Vulnerable farmers can benefit from protection against the threat of failed crops, and ICTs can help make insurance protection for smallholders more affordable. ...
Whether it’s about better seed or reducing crop losses, small-scale farmers need evidence-based advice and support. ...
Work performed during the summer at Cockle Park Experimental Station, Northumberland England and Growers trials in Australia found that application of AG100 to hydroponically grown crops produced positive results for growth rate and disease control. ...
For crops that have high protein content add 100 µL HCl to 20 mL aliquot of crude extract. ...
In dry land areas of the Mediterranean region, farmers' decisions are particularly difficult due to irregular rainfall. ...
In Brazil, as no-till (NT) crop management expands, there is an increased interest in growing peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) with this system. However, it is not known if the preceding cover crop species, the amount of straw on the soil surface, or the N supplied to the cover crop will affect peanut grown in a NT system. An experiment was conducted ...
Delaying planting generally increased days to flowering and the anthesis-silking interval (ASI) and reduced dry matter production and yield and yield components. In Azir, planting of corn on 13 July reduced grain yield by 42% in 2006 because of a dry spell during crop establishment. ...
The hourly data for the rate of moisture removal, crop temperature, relative humidity inside greenhouse and outside greenhouse and ambient air temperature for complete drying have been recorded. The experiments were done in the premises of Allahabad Agricultural Institute-Deemed University, after the crop-harvesting season from February 2006 to ...
Cycle length (expressed as days from sowing to anthesis [DSA]) was reduced by 2 and 8 d in Italian and Spanish cultivars, respectively. Crop dry weight (CDW) decreased by 21% (0.51% yr–1) and green area index (GAI) by 28% (–0.33% yr–1) in Spanish cultivars. ...
Drying of agricultural products is an energy intensive operation. High prices and shortages in fossil fuels increase the emphasis on using solar energy as an alternative energy source, especially in developing countries. This paper deals with the construction of four different solar powered drying systems consisting of solar air heaters and drying chambers for small scale, natural convection, ...
