Introduction to Fuel Management Fuel is a critical component in farm operations, essential for powering the vast array of machinery required in modern agriculture, from tractors and combines to pumps and generators. Advanced cloud-based fuel management systems serve as an integral tool for farmers by providing real-time data on fuel usage / levels, which helps in making informed decisions that ...
Let’s explore the benefits of an integration of wireless fuel monitoring technology and real-time data analytics, aligning with the advanced capabilities of your fuel farm management solution and highlighting the tangible benefits it offers to ...
Most farmers can agree that although there’s no silver bullet to a bumper crop, healthy soil plays a crucial role, from seeding to harvest and beyond. But how much is understood about what really happens beneath the surface of the field? ...
This can also act as a barrier to rooting.2. Check seed quality Thoroughly check the quality of seed when it arrives on-farm and try and order it well ahead of planting time to give you more time to check the contents properly when it arrives.It’s a good idea to work closely with a trusted seed supplier to reduce the risk of disease being brought ...
How to use and interpret your farm information Every pass of your field in-season provides a critical commodity: information. As farming becomes progressively larger, busier and more high-tech, the regular use and interpretation of farm information is even more important. This information is mandatory to successfully farm in 2023 and beyond – but what’s the best way to leverage it ...
For example, plants generally need more and more intense light during the vegetative and reproductive stages of growth than during seed setting and harvest. Therefore, in facility agriculture or horticulture, reasonable regulation of photosynthetically active radiation can not only effectively save light and electricity, but also promote the increase of ...
Maximize your pre-harvest window, prep strategically for harvest with farm management software As a farmer, you oversee several things at once so it can be tough to decide which hat to wear and when. ...
Prevention that maintains the quality of your spuds through the duration of storage is paramount in getting the highest return on your seed-to-harvest investment. There’s a proven answer to addressing these concerns before things turn nasty. 1,4SIGHT from the 1,4GROUP,lnc. has a 25-year history of providing the protection your stored potatoes need. ...
The main innovation components are to: use selective breeding to increase harvesting yield, and apply ground-breaking direct seeding on specially designed substrates to save time, energy and money in the hatchery phase. ...
Cultivation was here used in the broadest sense and encompasses seeding, cultivation, harvesting and bio-refining. The project aimed to develop efficient methods for these activities, including harvesting methods to achieve storage stability of the resulting produce. ...
In special designed pot the slurries and mineral reference treatments were banded next to the seed row. Plants were harvested on nine dates with 4-6 days interval and an exponential growth function was fitted to the recordings. ...
We have also made it a priority to increase the phosphorus and potassium rates in our blends at seeding time to support our higher yield goals. Long term, we are looking into strategies pre-seeding and post-harvest to build fertility in our soils. ...
Since the peanuts grow underground, they must be dug for harvesting. If the digger tractor errs in this operation, the farmer's investment underground is destroyed. ...
A factorial trial using a split-plot design with three replicates was set up to analyze seed yield and plant biomass, as well as nine yield components (Plant spread, Plant height, Number of leaves per plant, number of pods per plant, Number of seeds per plant, Pods weight per plant, Pod fill ration, Seed harvest index). ...
In this process, there is no sale from the field’s pulse crop. The crop is seeded as usual, but cut down after the flowers blossom and before seed growth begins. ...
Usually foresters plant seedlings grown from seeds harvested nearby, on the assumption that local genotypes are best suited to local conditions. ...

Some areas are likely to receive less rainfall, so interventions like drought-resistant seeds and water-harvesting are good adaptation practices. In areas that are getting wetter, however, these interventions become a waste of time and resources. ...
Forward planning is essential when undertaking local provenance seed collection as there are seasonal constraints such as seed maturation time, finding seed donor sites and gaining collection permissions. ...
Year x tillage x crop interaction was significant for plant height in April, days to flowering/heading, seed yield, and harvest index. Tillage x crop interaction existed for seed and straw yields, harvest index, and plant height at maturity. ...
At both locations, red clover was either interseeded into wheat or seeded after harvest, the red clover cover crop was eliminated with tillage or herbicide application, and corn was planted with three N rates (0, 90, and 180 kg N ha–1). ...
