This week, the Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE) awarded Professor Roger Sylvester-Bradley, Head of Crop Performance at ADAS, with the RASE 2025 Science and Technology Award, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to agricultural science. For over four decades, Roger has been at the forefront of agricultural science, shaping the way we understand and manage crop performance. ...
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 – ...
With the Manna solution, hundreds of corn seed growers improved their crop management practices, boosting seed production metrics and promoting sustainability. Manna’s software-only solution leads the trend in crop management decision-making driven by virtual sensors. It provides growers with actionable insights on how much and when to irrigate, based on a ...
Their innovative tools to identify and select safe and sustainable compounds complement our design-based strategy in crop protection discovery and will accelerate the development of new products that farmers need to meet future challenges of ...

– Sep. 21, 2022 – Sentera, the industry leading ag analytics platform powered by machine learning, today launched seven new crop health and performance analytics as part of its FieldInsights product, which helps agronomic leaders make critical in-season and post-harvest decisions with accurate and reliable data sets. ...
Key analytics generated by imagery captured by the 6X sensor include: Stand Count to provide insight into crop emergence and uniformity Crop Health to quantity the effects of products and treatments Canopy Cover to showcase the fraction and uniformity of green vegetation Flowering to monitor flowering development throughout the entire ...
For many years, the agricultural sector has worked on the continuous development of sustainable practices to provide sufficient food and medicine supply for a growing population. ...
Lifeasible, a biotechnology company specialized in agricultural science, recently enlarged its offers for plant breeding services which now cover a wide range of plant species including major food crops, economic plants, and bio-energy feedstock plants. Plant breeding is the science of creating new varieties by modifying plant genomes, which can accelerate the production of ...
The partnership follows a successful first phase of Heliae and ACP’s joint water retention trial, the largest ever undertaken Heliae Development, LLC and Agricola Cerro Prieto (ACP) today announced the launch of a new partnership to combat and reverse negative effects on crops and soil from climate change, water scarcity and distressed soil conditions. ...
Plains and Upper Midwest between October 11 and October 14, 2019, as a dramatic early-season blizzard developed across North Dakota and unusual cold spread across many states. ...
International researchers will present their works focusing on the impact of climate change on crop production and propose solutions to maintain and increase crop productivity in this new context. Various topics will be discussed, like effects of CO2 on plant growth, abiotic stress, plant-microbe interactions and climate change, the new crops ...
All stakeholders agree that we need to continue the development of crop protection based on a stepped model with a preference for prevention and biological control, and with highly targeted chemical agents only as a last resort. ...
But across the Atlantic genetically-modified crops (GMOs) are increasingly a different story. They are a deeply controversial subject because early versions of GM food crops had to be dosed in highly toxic chemicals, and claims of higher yields and better nutrition were unproven. ...
Most recently, soil temperatures have dropped and periodic frost has meant that tubers are going into cooler soils, which can delay crop emergence. It’s important to remember actions now can have a knock-on effect with crop development as the season progresses. ...
According to Eric Yirenkyi Danquah, a plant geneticist and the director of the West Africa Centre for Crop Improvement at the University of Ghana, many African countries do not have trained plant breeders to conduct effective crop breeding, which makes it urgent for Africa to build human capacity to develop staple crops. Danquah ...
Optional SectionCommand can be ordered with the C850 to reduce seed and fertilizer inputs while improving even emergence and crop ...
The meeting is sponsored by the American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and the Soil Science Society of America. The session addresses measures of soil moisture and their relationship with: Plant health status Crop growth and development Crop productivity Soils management Response to agronomic ...
Now he and colleagues report in Nature Climate Change that there must be immediate action to speed up the development of new and improved varieties of maize and other crops. “In Africa, gradually rising temperatures and more droughts and heatwaves caused by climate change will have an impact on maize,” he warns. “We looked in particular at the ...
Scientists and plant breeders who are aiming to improve food production by improving photosynthesis in crop plants, would make a good choice if they chose to change the composition and concentration of the protein Rubisco activase. ...
