The new platform, developed using current and historic pest and disease data collected as part of the annual Defra Survey of Crop Pests and Diseases, is open to growers, agronomists, researchers and members of the public from 23 September 2024. Every year since 1970 approximately 300 samples of winter wheat and 90 samples of winter oilseed rape, along with information on pesticide inputs, have ...
Group sales fall by 8.2 percent (Fx & portfolio adj.) to 11.044 billion euros / EBITDA before special items: 2.527 billion euros (minus 24.5 percent) / Crop Science business down significantly, mainly due to sharp decline in glyphosate volumes and prices / Stable sales at Pharmaceuticals (Fx & portfolio adj.), earnings below prior year / Consumer Health records higher sales (Fx & ...

Brazil is in the southern hemisphere which means the crop grows during months of the year roughly opposite on the calendar to the US crop season. ...
” Mr Scott will present an industry update during the trade activities in Vietnam providing key partners with a seasonal overview of the 2019 crop forecast and the 5 to 10-year crop yield predictions. He will also provide more information about the systems Australian industry have in place to continually maintain Australia’s clean, ...
Work is progressing well with our latest innovation on capturing crop measurements in the field on smart phones and using this for some pretty cool forecasting and analysis. We are excited to be working with Villa Maria on this. Sample requests, say for bunch counts or disease incidence, are sent to sampling staff members' smartphones in the field. After they record measurements in the field ...

The Thorvald robotic platform has been built to perform a wide variety of agricultural tasks, including deployment as a multi-purpose light weight robotic carrying platform, as a sensor platform to monitor crops and soils and, potentially, as a platform to manage crops and for precision weed control. It is capable of operating on uneven terrain and agile enough ...
“UAVs will be very useful, efficient and economical in scouting crops for diseases and other pests and also for surveying crop conditions and predicting yields,” says Paul. ...
This year total cereal production in the EU-271 is forecast to be well above 2012 levels and above the average of the past five years. This agricultural year has so far been marked by an unusually prolonged winter for western and central Europe and heavy rainfall in May and June. However, the impact of poor weather on crops in some areas of the EU has been offset in other areas; for example, the ...
Pakistan's outdated crop yield forecasting system needs a revamp, says Ibrar ul Hassan Akhtar. Like most developing countries, Pakistan is staring at the spectre of food insecurity, with its food production out of sync with population growth. The food availability scenario is further complicated by changing weather patterns with recurring severe droughts and floods that affect crop production. ...
Some of Uganda's most lucrative tea plantations could be "wiped off the map" under the 2.3 degree Celsius temperature rise predicted for 2050, a study has said. Even with the expected one degree Celsius rise by 2020, the 60,000 small farmers who grow Uganda's high-quality tea could face a 30 to 48 per cent decline in output, scientists at the Colombia-based International Center ...
Those that find N soil testing valuable cite: Optimising N strategy based on fitting crops to paddocks (first stage of precision N management – changing rate between paddocks) Assessing residual from failed and underperforming crops Helping develop fertiliser purchase plan (approximate quantity and when) as well as confirming nitrogen supplementation ...
Crop water use efficiency (WUE), or yield per unit of water used, can be improved through irrigation management and methods, including deficit irrigation (irrigating less than is required for maximum yields) and supplemental irrigation (irrigating to supplement precipitation so as to avoid crop failure or severe yield decline). ...
For instance, if forecasters don't know how damp or dry the soil is, they can't accurately predict the weather. 'OMEGA soil moisture data will help us build better weather models,' says NASA scientist Chip Laymon, principal investigator for the OMEGA project at the National Space Science and Technology Center in Huntsville, Alabama. ...
Predicting the impact of climate change on specific food crops throughout the globe could help avoid the worst effects on food security. ...
