Maximize Yields with Smart Lighting Strategies: Using Metrics for a More Efficient Grow
There is a strong relationship between lighting and yield, as we know that with every 1% increase in light, there is a 1% increase in growth and yield. Measuring yield in your greenhouse is an important way to measure efficiencies and profitability, so you can better assess how your inputs affect overall yield and plant growth. In this article, we are going to overview the relationship ...

JXCT Soil tensiometer
A soil tension meter is an instrument used to measure the tension or suction force within soil. Soil tension, also known as soil moisture tension, is the force exerted by the soil particles as they hold water. This tension affects the ability of plants to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Soil tension meters are important tools for irrigation management and soil research.The basic ...

Family farms can be competitive by focusing on conservation and stewardship
While the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reports a 40 percent decline in U.S. cropland soil erosion rates from 1982 to 2007, recent trends appear to challenge this progress. Record prices for corn and soybeans have diverted acres out of conservation programs and encouraged intensive production on a wide scale. Tree lines are cleared and wet areas drained, turning 120-acre farms into ...
