Garth Donald, Manager of Agronomy at Decisive Farming, thinks even modern farming technology can be big limiting factors when it comes to seed placed fertilizer application. Many drills use a twin-knife seeding system, where the second knife places the fertilizer a safer distance away from the seed than traditional ...
So we set out address the needs of each and every farmer. We built all of our seed treaters from the ground up for fast, easy and accurate seed treatment on the farm. Each seed treater delivers the same great quality in terms of accuracy, seed coverage and gentleness. ...

As a result, you can only hope that you purchased the right amount of treated seed, that the seed treatment applied is right for your specific operation and that you’ll actually be able to plant that treated seed. ...

Pattison Liquid Systems has been developing and supplying the liquid fertilizer application market with distribution kits for over 40 years. From our fixed orifice systems to our variable rate application systems we have the kit required for todays seeding equipment. ...
When evaluating products, growers trust the results they see with their own eyes. The benefit of a different seed variety, irrigation system, fertilizing practice, new product, or method is suspect until the crop looks healthier and yields are higher. ...
In October 2016, the Dutch organization Hivos hosted a conference on open-source seed systems in Ethiopia, attracting farmers, community seed bank operators, and representatives of governments, non-governmental organizations and seed companies from around East Africa to learn about the open-source seed movement ...

This approach would limit the number of replicated tunnel or field‐scale studies which need to be undertaken to assess effects on honeybee brood and may be of particular benefit where residues in pollen and nectar are crop and/or formulation specific such as systemic seed treatments and granular applications.

The seed supply problem As it turns out, establishing dependable systems for supplying seed of improved varieties is probably the most difficult part of agricultural development. ...
Adequate nutrition depends not just on well-functioning food systems but also on sanitation and hygiene systems and on women’s education — just two examples of how food security links with other challenges in health and development. ...
This article investigates the contribution of action research to systemic institutional innovation, through a case study of access and benefit sharing (ABS) mechanisms developed in the context of a participatory plant breeding programme in Southwest China. ...
The data model of the International Crop Information System (ICIS) allows breeding processes to be recorded unambiguously in a relational database. This paper describes this model, which underlies the Genealogical Management System (GMS) of ICIS. The model recognizes three classes of methods by which genetic material is advanced. ...
This article, the second in a series looking at the Wisconsin Integrated Cropping Systems Trial (WICST), reports on the profitability of six conventional and organic systems, with a focus on net returns and associated risk exposure. ...
Perpetuating cereal cover crops through self-seeding may increase adoption by reducing risk and cost. Winter rye (Secale cereale L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack) were used to develop self-seeding cover crop systems in a soybean [Glycine max (L.) ...

However, the effects on and performance of dry bean cultivars in the CB production system is not known. The objectives of this research were to (i) determine effects of the CB production system on seed yield, seed weight, and days to maturity of race Durango cultivars; (ii) determine the correlations for those three traits ...
