Hydroponic operations, or "hydroponics," describes methods of growing crops using water-based nutrient solutions without any soil. CFS's lawsuit cites the federal Organic Foods Production Act, which requires farms to build soil fertility in order to be certified organic. Hydroponics cannot comply with federal organic standards because hydroponic ...
Precise, accurate data enables tailored application of crop inputs and water resources, eliminating overapplication and overuse of products and delivering the insights needed for growers to optimize land stewardship. ...
Women account for 80% of people displaced by climate change and are made more vulnerable when dry seasons affect crops, waters recede and firewood disappears, forcing women to work harder to feed and care for their families. In India’s Brahmaputra Valley, girls drop out of school during floods because they need to spend more time collecting fuel and ...
The best defense against fungal infection for high-value, susceptible greenhouse crops is to create environmental conditions that promote a healthy, dry crop that is also hostile to fungal proliferation. This means controlling temperature and humidity such that water is not accumulating on the surface of the plant tissue. Ideal conditions are ...
The event includes a huge show area, covering each and every aspect of the asparagus supply chain: from seeds, crowns and plants up to the manufacturing of machinery and technologies for sowing, transplanting, harvesting and packaging Irritec will show drip irrigation systems and new irrigation technologies that guarantee optimal crop growth with no water ...
Using advanced satellite imaging technology, combined with real-time hyper-local weather, Manna Irrigation Intelligence makes complex agronomic and environmental calculations to provide irrigation recommendations, identify potential areas of under/over irrigation, and ultimately better manage your crop. Based upon proprietary satellite data models and hyper-local weather ...
Original story at MIT News Many farms in drought-prone regions of the U.S. rely on drip irrigation as a water-saving method to grow crops. These systems pump water through long thin tubes that stretch across farm fields. Hundreds of dime-sized drippers along the length of each tube trickle water directly onto a plant’s ...
In South Carolina, acreage is expected to decline by 0.4 percent as cotton acres shift to soybeans and ‘other crops.’ In North Carolina, a 4.8 percent decline is expected as cotton acreage shifts to soybeans and ‘other ...
Thanks to a University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Extension experimental trial, Starling was one of three farmers in the Suwannee River Valley who got the chance to test drive this water-saving technology. By showing farmers how to use and benefit from these sensors, the trial encouraged producers to adopt best management practices (BMPs) set out by ...
