Physical purity testing is a fundamental part of seed quality assessment, ensuring that seed lots meet established purity standards before planting or marketing. ...
Grain cleaner or as it is also called - sorter, grain cleaner, trier. is a specially designed machine for a single task - cleaning grain and various crops. As far back as 1313, ancient China pioneered the use of a rotating fan that created an airflow to separate chaff from grain, but this was still a long way from the separator in the form we are used to today The first grain cleaner with ...

Plant growth regulators are inspired by a class of plant metabolites called plant hormones. ...
During drought or dry conditions, salinity and pH levels can change quickly in the soil. While the forecast shouldn’t entirely dictate how you manage your farm, understanding and performing the best farming practices when adding seed-placed nutrients can help save your yields when the rain fails to ...
Did you know that onions are the most cultivated crop in The Netherlands? and that it is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Allium worldwide?

They are present in almost any habitat, but most live on the ground, instead of in the sea or freshwater, mostly in soil or plant material. In soil or on decaying plants, a community called the decomposers develops where they play a significant role in the recycling of carbon and other elements. Some are disease-causing plant pests such as ...
However, most of our knowledge about plant immune signalling has mainly been recent after it was found that salicylic acid (SA) is defence signal derived from within the plant. So what is this novel plant biostimulant? SA show that it affects several plant processes. ...
The rotating cutter is driven by the tractor's PTO shaft which rotates the blades, cutting the plant life. Hay balers: A baler is a device used to compress straw or hay into bales compact enough for storage or transportation. ...
It tailors seed rates to customer requirement, planting date and proposed burndown and harvest date, and growers can also model several scenarios to see what affect altering seed rate or planting date will have on yield and size distribution of tubers in their ware crops. ...
“Identifying genetic factors that increase nitrogen use efficiency is therefore crucial.” Plant breeders have genetically modified plant species for thousands of years to create seeds with a larger proportion of metabolites to improve nutritional value and utility. ...
Soil compaction is becoming a major issue worldwide. Not only in the Netherlands but globally the soil is deteriorating very badly. Soil compaction is a form of soil degradation, in which the soil structure is lost because the soil is compressed. This global problem is still underestimated and causes problems for agriculture, nature, and climate. Furthermore, soil compaction leads to loss of ...
The usual plant oil extraction and separation process (e.g. olive or palm oil, tea seed oil, etc.) involves the extraction of oil-bearing plant parts (seeds, fruits, skins) that are squeezed and milled. ...
The organic plant food equipment is made up of organic plant food fermentation turner, fertilizer pulverizer, mixer, natural plant food pellet making device, organic plant food dryer, cooler, evaluating maker, storage space bin, automatic packaging equipment, belt conveyor, and so on. ...
When seeds take longer than normal and the germination rate is low, it means that the seeds will most likely not become plants. ...
A few months ago, Damien was interviewed by the EDHEC Business School, one of the leading financial education institutions in France. They talked about how to attract talent from a new generation of workers, and what companies can do to improve their success. You can see the podcast here. In this blog, Damien expands on his ideas and offers five specific points that executives should be thinking ...
Perennial plant grower Molter BV in Noordwijkerhout (NL) is making good progress. The new strategy and a new Rovero film greenhouse offer more space for activities at the beginning of the chain: breeding, tissue culture and the propagation of plants from seed, cuttings and tissue culture. "We are scaling down the actual cultivation of ...

Three dimension vegetation net is a new-typed seed planting material with tridimensional structure, which can protect the ground surface being corroded before the turf is growing up, and fix the seeds. ...
As we all know, most farmers use this to control weeds before planting. Besides, a cultipacker is placed behind a tractor to pull seedbeds before seed planting for a better connection with seed to soil. ...
24 years ago when I first started in this business, almost every farmer planted canola at exactly the same rate. No matter how sandy or loamy, high or low moisture, productive or thin-yielding the land, and no matter how plump or slim the seed, we planted 10 acres to the bag. ...
Seed treatment is no different. So we designed the My Yield seed treaters to treat seed fast enough for same day planting. My Yield seed treaters can treat a full box of seed in as little as 60 seconds. ...
