Growing conditions have been perfect over the last few weeks, so fertiliser has been going on ‘a plenty’ but have you a Nutrient Management plan (NMP) in place? Many businesses have signed up to nutrient planning as part of their Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) agreement, and the Environment Agency is looking very closely at NMP’s when they are inspecting ...
The Royal Eijkelkamp Edelman auger is used all over the world for soil sampling, traditional soil mapping and soil research. But how did this hand auger get its name? To find out we have to travel back in time, to when the first activities for soil mapping took place in the ...
Whether you’re drinking tap water or well water, its quality needs to be monitored regularly. With tap water, the city or local government regularly tests for contaminants like petroleum, heavy metals and other pollutants. However, private water well testing is left up to the ...
The ThirdEye project supports farmers in Mozambique and Kenya with their decision making in farm and crop management by setting up a network of flying sensors operators. Our innovation is a major transformation in farmers’ decision making regarding the application of limited resources such as water, seeds, fertilizer and labor. Instead of relying on common-sense management, farmers are now ...
While farming activities have traditionally been associated with greenhouse gas emissions, innovative practices can turn agriculture into a significant carbon sink. This transformation hinges on effective carbon sequestration techniques, which capture and store atmospheric carbon dioxide in soils and plants. Implementing these methods is crucial in our fight against climate change. However, the ...
