As a result, these species fall under Pesticide Use Limitation Areas (PULA), which have more stringent herbicide requirements. ...
These systems provide a platform for precision agriculture, enabling farmers to optimize water use, increase crop yields and reduce environmental impact. In this article, we will explore the role of intelligent irrigation controllers in agricultural modernization and their potential to transform the agricultural sector.Intelligent irrigation controller for precision ...
Practice shows that using this method can prolong the growth cycle of vegetables, increase the sugar content of crops by about 20%, reduce pesticide use by 60-70% . ...
One of the key aspects of precision farming is the ability to move from reactive to proactive practices. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of proactive farming and explore tools and techniques to help growers make the transition from reactive to proactive farming. Precision farming is a modern agricultural technique that uses technology to optimise crop production and ...
In order to prevent and control pests, people have to use pesticides to escort crop planting and production. Organophosphorus is a common pesticide, and improper protection can lead to farmers' organophosphorus poisoning. ...
On the other hand, plantation problems such as soil conditions, water, pesticide use, climate change are still not fully resolved. Then, how agriculture can fulfill food production by 2050. The crops need to be healthy, so pesticides keep pests and weeds away. These pesticides can harm the environment. ...
At Pollen Systems, we are always excited to apply our PrecisionView approach to the crops we know and love. One fruit we keep returning to at work (and in our favorite recipes) is the beloved avocado. Adapted to rainforests by nature, avocados grow vigorously and will develop a dense canopy in a relatively short time. This growth habit is a challenge unique to cultivating avocados, as each tree ...
Best way to grow strawberries hydroponically One of the alternatives that has been developed through the growing conscience of strawberry producers about the watering and mass use of pesticides has been the production of this fruit in protected areas like the elevated Hydroponic system, Where the appearance of pests and illnesses are reduced in the plants. ...
Proposals brought forward to alleviate the problem have included alterations in agricultural practices, pesticide use, innovative methods of tracking and genetically modified organisms. ...
Pesticide/fungicide and liquid foliants and fertilisers are a crucial aspect of vineyard management. ...
Methyl bromide is a is an odourless, colourlessgas most often used as a fumigant. About 70% of methylbromide produced in the United States goes into pesticidal formulations. It has been used to fumigate agricultural commodities, grain elevators, mills, ships, clothes, furniture greenhouses and delicate works of art. ...

When it comes to Cannabis quality control there are many things to consider, from moisture content to pesticide use. Moisture Content Cannabis flower moisture content should be tested and controlled to: minimize the risk of mold formation; control microbiological levels; ensure proper drying, curing and storage conditions; and support product shelf life. ...
We examined the removal of abamectin by the electro-Fenton (EF) process and the feasibility of biological treatment after degradation. The effect of the operating parameters showed that abamectin (Aba) degradation was enhanced with increasing temperature. Response surface analysis of the central composite design led to the following optimal conditions for the abatement of chemical oxygen ...
