This machine is made for vegetable plant propagator Roelands Plant, Canada. The Stone Wool Spacer makes it possible to automatically place young plants wider apart on a container, giving them more space to grow. The plants can be placed in different patterns on the container and the spacer can reach a production ...
Chemical substances make insect pheromones what they are: compounds made from precursor molecules through chemical reactions. In most pheromones, there is more than one active component – that is, two or more constituents act by making a mixture. The nature and amount of insect pheromone elements are highly speciose, and even within close groups pheromone elements can be very different. ...
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 ...
Every gardener wishes for a healthy, fruitful garden full of colorful plants, fertile soil, and less water wastage. It has never been simpler to make the dream come true, thanks to modern innovative technologies such as the garden drip irrigation system and organic options such as Puroxi (OB) Water Treatment for crops. These two tools complement each other to make your garden a lush, ...
You’ve added the phosphorus. You’ve followed the recommended rates. But your crops are still struggling. What gives? The answer lies beneath your feet—in the chemistry of your soil. The Phosphorus Illusion: More Isn’t Always Better Many growers assume that applying more phosphorus guarantees healthy plant growth. But in reality, phosphorus applied does not automatically ...

Plant hormones, also known as phytohormones, are trace organic compounds synthesized within plants that play a crucial role in regulating various aspects of growth and development. These hormones are produced in specific tissues and can be transported to different parts of the plant, where they exert their effects at remarkably low concentrations. Their influence spans a wide array of processes, ...
