Its development of PhycoTerra® is considered groundbreaking because its application can simultaneously improve crop yields and soil health by feeding the soil microbes. Field results show the greatest rewards on challenging fields or when crop stressors are present. ...
Semios, the leading precision farming platform for permanent crops, has raised US$75 million in private equity funding to advance the development of its data-driven crop management solution. The financing was led by Morningside Group, a Boston-based private equity and venture capital firm. Since its founding in 2010, Semios has secured a total of US$115 million in external capital. Semios has ...
New pre-emergent residual registrations for Valor herbicide in fallows and prior to planting summer crops greatly broadens crop rotation flexibility and boosts efforts in combating herbicide resistance. New registrations for Valor herbicide now enable it to be used for highly effective pre - emergent (residual) control of a broad range of problem weeds in fallow and prior to planting summer ...
Walker believes that the drone produced by American Robotics — the company’s fully automated Scout™ drone, which offers high-resolution data and daily health reports and uses proprietary algorithms to identify crop stress — can help farmers achieve more. “Its ability to provide insightful, actionable and timely imagery in a ...
Researchers win grant to further test app for smallholders App diagnoses deadly cassava diseases in field, sends alerts Roll-out in Africa needs engagement with farmers, says expert A team of scientists has received US$100,000 grant to refine a mobile application (app) that uses artificial intelligence to diagnose crop diseases, and aims to help millions of African ...
Department of Energy (DOE) have linked changes in rainfall and other environmental stressors during crop growth to potential deleterious effects on biofuel production. The study demonstrates that the effect of weather conditions on crop yields can significantly impact the downstream processing of those crops for biofuel production. ...
“We chose Midwest fronts for their sound construction and innovative features. We like the even plan from tip of the knife finger through to the draper belts with no nasty steps to restrict material flow. The stainless steel panels behind the knife and under the feed drum allow the crop to flow smoothly and timed knife drives give less vibration. The mounting system enables free oscillation ...
Following their recent aquisition of the seed treatment Latitude, Certis are looking forward to Cereals and the opportunity to discuss with visitors the issue of take-all and how to protect crops from this devastating disease from day one. “Take-all is an extremely significant and widespread fungal disease that occurs in wheat and barley, with half the UK wheat ...
Parasitic plants – plants that penetrate another plant and grow at its expense – have caused some $200 million worth of damage to the African rice harvest this year, at the cost of 15 million meals a day. If no effective measures are developed and implemented against these parasites, the damage will increase over the coming years by some $30 million a year. This has been revealed by a ...
“Growers who are still getting their crops in now still have the potential for good yields,” Thomison said. “Even growers who don’t get all their crops in until the early days of June could still get a decent crop out. “Weather conditions such as good rainfall and warm temperatures in July and August are probably ...
Syngenta today announced the launch of the EPIVIO brand family, a range of new biostimulants which address abiotic stresses through seed treatment. Over the last five years Syngenta has developed abiotic stress management testing capabilities to simulate drought, heat, cold and nutrient stresses. ...

The researchers suggest the effect of ozone on pollen could be a useful way to rapidly test for pollution-induced stress on crop plants in risk assessments. Ground-level ozone damages plants as well as posing a risk to human health. ...
Number of samples stored at the Svalbard Global Seed Vault Seedbanks get systematic But some say the work has just begun. The Crop Trust, set up in 2004 as a financing mechanism to conserve the world's crop diversity, is working on nothing less than what it calls “a global system of ex-situ crop conservation”. ...
The Philippine Rice Information System (PRISM) project conducted a review training on crop health issues for 31 participants from eight Philippine Department of Agriculture Regional Field Offices on September 16-19 at IRRI Headquarters in Los Baños, Laguna. The review training provided the participants with the knowledge and skills for conducting effective assessments of crop health ...
In Peru, the International Potato Center (CIP), Lima, uses drones to aerially assess crop performance under different stresses, such as pests, diseases, drought and frost — all of them widespread phenomena in the Andes, one area where CIP works. ...
” Despite his relatively young age, Dr Biddulph has achieved important results in his role as research officer responsible for DAFWA research into abiotic (climate and soil) crop stresses including frost, drought and pre-harvest sprouting, as well as phenological adaptation of wheat. “Frost is the GRDC western regional panel’s number one ...
The world’s first populations of glyphosate resistant wild radish will be announced at Perth’s Agribusiness Crop Updates, but researchers stress further cases can be minimised if farmers adopt diverse control strategies. ...
Wild radish and its resistance to herbicides is under scrutiny in Victoria’s Wimmera-Mallee cropping region. A Grains Research and Development Corporation “fast track project”, instigated by the GRDC’s southern Regional Cropping Solutions Networks (RCSN), aims to map the extent of herbicide resistance in wild radish and other broadleaf weeds and increase awareness about ...
Well known agronomic and agribusiness consultant Chris Wilkins brings over 20 years’ experience in the Western Australian grains industry to his new role with the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC). Hailing from Badgingarra in WA’s grainbelt, Mr Wilkins said his skills would add to the spread of expertise on the western regional panel whose key role is to feed ...
Use of this advisory system will prevent both crop drought and salinity stress, while minimizing water losses. It will enable growers to use brackish waters for crop cultivation and profit at the same time from a lowered pest pressure and lowered inputs for agro-chemicals. ...
