There are issues with food waste, transportation, the microbiome, how you’re a good steward of the soil and fertilizers, and seeds. Then there’s irrigation management. We’re focused on one part of the overall problem. ...

Since its establishment, the Company has executed and completed a wide array of projects in diverse climatic zones all over the world, under varying economic and socioeconomic conditions. Soli has gained extensive experience in setting up turnkey greenhouse projects (for more details, please refer to Greenhouses on our Products page.) Soli specializes in the planning and execution of integrated ...
You can also fix data once it’s already in your account. Check your seed hybrid or variety names, treatments, applications and prescriptions. Each hybrid and variety name should be consistent. Keep it simple by labeling it as what’s on the seed bag. If you label it something like “Hybrid ...
Most have ended badly, leaving a legacy of low quality seed, broken supply chains, rusted seed processors, and disappointed farmers. ...
Relatively high seed prices and low canola (Brassica napus L.) grain prices created a controversy over using farm-saved seed from hybrids. Agronomic implications of saving seed from a canola crop were investigated by planting certified seed and saved-seed of an open-pollinated and a ...
Natural selection and artificial selection by plant breeders for adaptedness have increased parental inbred and hybrid seed yields, whereas percentage heterosis decreased. Four studies have shown inbred yields increased 1.9 to 3.5 times faster than heterosis yields. Pioneer Hi-Bred generates 700 new inbreds tested in 6000 single-cross hybrids at ...
Poor seed-set limits potential for soybean hybrid seed production. The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of different pollinators on the rate of seed set in three soybean cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines, JLCMS9A, JLCMS82A, and JLCMS89A. ...
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), a maternally inherited trait characterized as an inability to produce functional pollen, is an important biological system for economically producing hybrid seed to enhance crop yield and studying cytoplasmic and nuclear gene interactions. ...
Andrus & W.D. Moore, is a major barrier to seed yield and quality in lentil. Pathogenicity testing has revealed two races, Ct1 and Ct0, of C. truncatum in western Canada. ...
Controlling pollination of the female inbred is critical to achieve maximum kernel set and high levels of genetic purity in maize (Zea mays L.) hybrid seed production. Although kernel set associated with inbred flowering dynamics is fairly predictable, it has not been possible to predict the level of outcrossing resulting from adventitious pollen entering the ...
Many native grasses display seed shattering and other seed production problems. Basin wildrye [Leymus cinereus (Scribn. ...
While no direct relationship was found between population size and outcrossing rates, fragmentation and the isolation of trees appears to have resulted in higher levels of selfing and biparental inbreeding in seed collected from the Camden and Wallacia remnants. There was also evidence from seedling morphology that inter-species gene flow increased with fragmentation since 20% of ...
