This analysis is crucial because seed lots often contain small amounts of other plant species, debris, or damaged seeds collected during harvesting and processing. The International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) and the Association of Official Seed Analysts (AOSA) provide detailed guidelines to ensure uniform testing procedures worldwide. ...
So, for many dairy farms – particularly those in colder or remote regions – bagging their silage is a strategic tool for ensuring feed security and maintaining optimum milk production throughout the year. Bagged silage extends the harvesting window and improves forage preservation in provinces with brief harvest periods or unreliable fall weather. ...
In California’s sun-soaked vineyards, where the wine and table grape industries are cornerstones of the state’s agricultural economy, powdery mildew remains a relentless adversary. Caused by the fungal pathogen Erysiphe necator, powdery mildew is one of the most pervasive and damaging diseases in viticulture, affecting both the yield and the market quality of grapes. Once ...
The pheromone molecules of several species of insects in the same genus, for instance, are nearly identical, or even exactly the same, just in different proportions. For instance, the four harvester ant species in the Pogonomyrmex genus all have three pyrazines used as a sign for where to find food, but proportions of the three components are different in the four ants; the ...
Let’s take a simple example: If a producer’s feed is worth $72 per ton at harvest, And they are putting up 10,000 tons of feed, A 15% reduction in loss means they are saving 1,500 tons of feed. At $72 per ton, that translates to a savings of $108,000. Whether a farmer must harvest additional feed each year or purchase more to offset losses, annual ...
Both these practices waste precious harvest time and put unnecessary wear on your equipment. Grain carts stay on the field, eliminate stationary unloading, and in multiple combine operations can gain the efficiency equivalent to adding an additional harvester at a significantly lower price point. This enables you to harvest more acres per day, ...
Feeding your plants is a fundamental aspect of nurturing a thriving garden, whether you’re aiming for a bountiful harvest or flourishing blooms. However, the choice of fertilizer significantly impacts the health of your plants and the environment. ...
During the 2023 growing season, Mr. Steven Deitz, a research consultant with Sawtooth Ag Research (Selma, CA) conducted a field study using a new ROS mineral oxychloride disinfectant, JC 9465, to control sour rot in mature (6 years old) wine grapes (cv. French Columbard) vineyard. The test site (vineyard) had a history of virus infections that showed symptomology late in the season when under ...
The two sides of the field were harvested separately. All treatments were fertilized according to growers standard practice ...
Compared to hay production, silage increases the potential yield of nutrients from available land, decreases feed costs, lowers harvest losses, and often increases forage quality. However, maximizing the benefits of silage depends on the proper packing of fodder crops stored in airtight conditions to prevent spoilage and increase nutrient value. ...
Packaging and storage: Plastics contribute to efficient post-harvest handling, packaging and storage of agricultural products. Plastic packaging materials help maintain the freshness and quality of produce, extend shelf life and reduce food waste. ...
Field Irrigation Systems are essential in agriculture since they help provide water to plants where rain may be erratic or unavailable. Given the ever-rising population around the globe, food production is on the rise, and thus, there is a need to maximize agricultural production. Therefore, contemporary field irrigation systems have developed as an all-important tool to facilitate crop growth, ...
Adding another layer to the complexity was the need to go live in the middle of a pandemic ahead of the harvest ...
In a controlled greenhouse environment, an appropriate water system can spell all the difference between harvest glory and disappointing harvests. With the puroxi water treatment from puroxi TM Pure Water Global Inc., greenhouse proprietors can now have the best solutions to optimize water usage and enhance plant ...
Cultivation operations [plants density/area unit (micro clime), agricultural rotation, 13. fertilization, wet harvest, mechanization, storage period….. etc.]. 14. Low layer thickness of a crop (< 50 cm) during drying strongly decreases mycotoxin production Most of AFB1 and AFB2 ingested by mammals is eliminated through urine and faeces, however a fraction is ...
Energy Storage and Conversion: Natural pigments have shown promise as electrode materials in energy storage and conversion devices, such as batteries and solar cells. Their light-harvesting and charge-transfer properties make them potential candidates for efficient energy conversion. ...

Post-harvest management is a critical phase in the agricultural supply chain that can significantly impact the quality and profitability of crops. ...
The high-precision data obtained from RESEPI allows the thickness and height of a tree trunk to be estimated to evaluate timber for harvesting, as shown in Figure 4. There are also features for classification and digital mapping [9]. ...
