Farming can often include high-risk, low-profit margins and lots of debt. Researchers are experimenting with high-throughput automated plant phenotyping, a technology that reduces risks and increases the profits of farming. Part of that technology is ToughSonic® ultrasonic distance sensors from ...
The Yield Enhancement Network (YEN), founded by ADAS in 2012, has helped growers in the UK and North-West Europe benchmark their crop performance and identify yield restrictions to improve their productivity. Declining sponsorship has meant that 2025 will be the last harvest analysed by the two largest YENs – cereals and oilseeds. The YENs for peas and beans, facilitated by ADAS and ...
Jenfitch, Inc. has gained US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA FIFRA) and USDA Organic Standard (7 CFR Part 205) approval to use its’ proprietary sodium oxychloride formulation, JC 9465, that works even more effectively than ozone as a crop production aid, disease, and pest control aid, fertilizer and soil amendment aid, livestock production aid and processing and handing aid for ...
Over the past 12 years, the YEN has helped hundreds of growers improve their crop performance and get closer to their farm’s full yielding potential. Whether you are seeking to improve crop yields, reduce your farm’s environmental impact, or improve overall crop quality, the YEN will help you: Measure your current farm performance on up to 60 factors, including seed ...
Benefits Proven in Trials: 25% Improvement in NUE: Reduces the need for high nitrogen inputs while maintaining productivity. Sustainable Yields: Barley and wheat trials demonstrate consistent output even with reduced fertilisers. ...
The International Water Management Institute (IWMI), in partnership with the World Vegetable Center and Sri Lanka’s Department of Agriculture is promoting safe and sustainable vegetable cultivation in Sri Lanka through a package of good agronomic practices using farmer participatory trials. IWMI’s research under the CGIAR Initiative on Fruit and Vegetables for Sustainable Healthy ...
Due to climate change, regions across Asia and Africa are experiencing higher frequencies of floods and drought. Coupled with rising temperatures, traditional crop-growing patterns have been altered, delayed, and disrupted. A subsequent decline in crop quality and quantity has shown macro-scale impacts on agriculture, vegetable markets, and local community ...
The agriculture sector is improving and so demand for proper and effective water management for crop health has increased to maximize yields. Among the various tools of irrigation, a water sprinkler for agriculture is one of the most effective tools. This blog post will detail several irrigation sprinkler types, benefits for farming, and how these contribute to agriculture sustainability ...
As emerging technologies and advances in animal nutrition bring more precision to livestock production, AgroCares and Trouw Nutrition, Nutreco’s livestock feed business, are pleased to announce the renewal of their NutriOpt On-site Adviser agreement. Launched in 2018 and subsequently enhanced with species-specific knowledge, NutriOpt On-site Adviser is an easy-to-use mobile resource that ...
Context In the competitive field of row crop breeding, data reigns supreme. After more than 5 years of closely working in this industry, I have seen how R&D Ag leaders are constantly inundated with information from diverse sources – field trials, drone imagery, environmental sensors – creating a data management quagmire that hinders decision-making and ultimately, breeding ...

This year’s challenge takes place on the Yorkshire Wolds with each entrant being assigned a 48 m2 plot of winter wheat replicated 4 times. A separate control treatment will receive nutrition in line with RB209 field assessment recommendations and a second control treatment will be left untreated. Other than fertiliser and biostimulant choice and timings, all other crop applications will ...
On the north-central plains of Sri Lanka, in the small rural village in Galenbindunuwewa, a community of maize farmers are reshaping their farming practices to respond to the growing challenges posed by climate change. They recently welcomed researchers from the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and a delegation from the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food ...
Does going to the extreme in fertilizer application overcome yield limitations? When it comes to plant development and yield, imbalance is more likely to threaten soil health, production and your pocketbook. Instead, achieving nutrient balance is crucial to crop success. With that in mind, we reflect on the often-perceived conflicting theories – Liebig’s Law of Minimum and ...
