Injection method of fertilization (Cultan technology)
Dosage of liquid fertilizers Liquid mineral fertilizers have already proven their advantages over granular fertilizers, these namely are prolonged action and maximum absorption of the active substance. So here is the question, what is the most effective way of using liquid fertilizers? Taking into consideration the reasons for transition to soil fertilizers, agronomists and farmers often point ...

Avocados in Precision Agriculture
At Pollen Systems, we are always excited to apply our PrecisionView approach to the crops we know and love. One fruit we keep returning to at work (and in our favorite recipes) is the beloved avocado. Adapted to rainforests by nature, avocados grow vigorously and will develop a dense canopy in a relatively short time. This growth habit is a challenge unique to cultivating avocados, as each tree ...

Italy - 2004 & 2005 CROPS - Melons - Case Study
PREAMBLE: Melons are members of the cucurbit family, which includes pumpkins, zucchini, cucumbers and squash, all of which have similar growth requirements. Melon quality is directly related to the sugar content of the fruit. High sugar content is achieved by avoiding all stress during the growing season. Stress comes from foliar diseases, insect pests, weeds, poor nutrition, and excesses or ...

Soft Fruits Early Spring Fertilizers
Early-spring maintenance of soft fruit trees is important to start the growing season correctly and to prepare the trees for healthy, vigorous growth and an abundant harvest. Without early-spring fertilizing, fruit trees may suffer unnecessarily stunted or weak growth and damage. Here are the perfect tips from Oligro to start early spring fertilizing. Fertilizers: 16-8-24 Fertilizer Boroni ...

Micronutrient research using leaf area & photosynthesis rates to improve crop yields
With the pressure to increase food production, every agricultural practice that can be optimized for improving crop yield is under scrutiny; therefore, micronutrients, which are important for crop health and growth, are receiving more attention. Agronomists are increasingly studying different treatment methods to establish the easiest and most cost-effective way to improve micronutrient ...

2014 Soyabean Trial - Case Study
Results of studies carried out under growth room conditions indicated that Hibrix soil amendment can provide significant increases in the growth of wheat, soybean and canola.?In the summer of 2013, a field trial was conducted using soybeans as the indicator crop to test the effectiveness of Hibrix soil amendment for increasing plant growth and productivity under field conditions. The trial was ...

Molecular mapping of wheat leaf rust resistance gene Lr42
Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks., is an important foliar disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Leaf rust resistance gene Lr42 from Aegilops tauschii Coss. has been used as a source of rust resistance in breeding programs. To identify molecular markers closely linked to Lr42, a segregating population of near-isogenic lines contrasting for the presence of Lr42 was ...

Validation of molecular markers associated with net blotch resistance and their utilization in barley breeding
With the advancement of molecular marker technology and computer software, mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) for complex traits in agricultural crops is frequent; however, exploitation of these QTL in practical breeding programs is limited. Here we report the validation of molecular markers linked to net blotch resistance QTL and their utilization in a barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) breeding ...

Inheritance of resistance to stripe rust in three lines of soft red winter wheat
Since 2000, stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici Eriks., has been the most important foliar disease of wheat in the eastern United States. Three lines of soft red winter wheat, ‘McCormick’, VA96W-270, and a variant of VA96W-270 (VA96W-270V), were resistant to the stripe rust population first described in the United States in 2000. The objective of this study was to ...

Effect of fungicide on soybean growth and yield
In response to rising input costs and narrowing profit margins, soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] producers are continually looking for ways to increase soybean yield. One approach being promoted is the use of foliar fungicides, for both foliar pathogen control and nonfungicidal plant physiological effects. The objective of this field experiment was to evaluate a strobilurin and a triazole alone ...

Response of heterozygous and homozygous Imidazolinone-resistant spring wheat genotypes to Imazamox
Imidazolinone-resistant (IR) spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was released commercially in Canada in 2004, providing growers with a new opportunity to selectively control a broad range of weeds in wheat, including volunteer cereals and annual grasses. Imidazolinone (IMI) herbicides inhibit acetolactate synthase in susceptible (S) plants, but IR wheat plants have an altered target site that ...

Lettuce cationic nutrition and yield, and soil chemical characteristics as affected by vanadium application to leaves or soils
Lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa, L., cv. "trocadero") were grown in pots filled with an Alfisol Udalf or an Andisol Udand soil, under greenhouse conditions. Treatments consisted of adding vanadium to soils (0, 100, 250, 500 and 10001mg1kg1 or as foliar sprays (0, 10, 25, 50, and 1001mg111. Soil chemical characteristics, the cationic nutrition of lettuce and their yields were assessed. No ...
