In addition to Stand Count (including Male/Female Stand Count), Crop Health, and Tassel Count (including Male/Female Tassel Count) analytics available today, new FieldInsights analytics include: Canopy Cover, identifying green vegetation to characterize growth stage and development Crop Area, digitally tracking field borders for seed production to minimize the risk of genetic drift ...
” Possible Applications of Carboxyl-Functionalized Pheromones Attracting pollination Synthetic trail parapheromone can attract collecting bees and improve the pollination efficiency for pears, cherries, and apples, increasing both yield and fruit size. ...
More specifically, trail parapheromones can improve the efficiency of pollination, increase the yield and quality of fruits, control the separation of bees, and increase the yield of the colony. ...
With its leading binocular vision and AI autonomous control core technology, it is more capable of easy and fully autonomous flight in complex environments, accurate and intelligent climbing and obstacle avoidance, without surveying and mapping. , the enclosure is ready to fly, and the differentiated advantage of saving time and labor can realize the functions of pesticide spraying, nutritional ...
PowerPollen® announced a commercial license agreement with Bayer designed to help corn seed production growers increase their yields. PowerPollen’s Pollination-on-Demand technology gives farmers greater flexibility by allowing them to optimize the timing of pollinations. ...
On Tuesday 27th April, they are hosting a ‘Bee the Change’ live virtual presentation for the employees of Host in Ireland partner companies including KOHLER. Bee pollination contributes to 70% of the world’s crops. The success of our species is dependent on theirs. ...
Without these industrious little pollinators we would starve. We are sharing information from The Bee Conservancy to spread the word on how we can all do our part to support our bee ...
June 22-28 is National Pollinator week. One week to celebrate the little things that make the world go round. ...
Beans climb trellises and are a great option for vertical growing and container gardening. Butternut squash (open pollinated variety): Can be trellised, grown or started in a container. ...
Using gas chromatography (GC), a research team from the University of Washington, in the US, has recently discovered a chemical combination that draws mosquitoes to a specific specie of orchids, Platanthera obtusata, for pollination. As the researchers note in their findings, the orchid produces just the right combo of compounds that attract mosquitoes through their sense of ...
Its formula consists of bacillus thuringiensis ssp. kurstaki (Btk) strain EVB-113-19, a new variation of the Btk bacterium that targets the lepidoptera insect while remaining easy on many beneficials and pollinators. This specialized Btk strain makes BT NOW a highly effective resistance management tool that is compatible with many commonly used pesticides, fertilizers and ...
Board member Alan Bennett conducted a dormant seeding of native grasses, milkweed, and other plants that attract pollinators on this one-acre plot as part of the ethanol producer’s plan to establish a Monarch Fueling Station. ...
Almost 80% of the useful and wild plants are pollinated by the western honey bee. To fill a glass of honey, bees have to fly about 150,000 km, i.e. three times around the world. Since a bee can travel about 8,000 km in its life, it needs a whole crowd of bees to do this work. Without this pollination work, humans would not only have to do without honey, but also ...
Birds, hedgehogs, bees and other pollinators are all in decline, with intensive agriculture cited as a key driver. ...
Staggering Growth of Almond Farms Honeybee researcher Kelly Watson and her team of geoscience graduate students were studying honeybee pollination in 2016 but changed the focus of their study to land use conversion after aerial photographs showed that there had been a dramatic uptick in the amount of natural land converted to almond orchards. ...
Once that’s done, the seeds with the desired genes are allowed to self-pollinate for several generations, and then each resulting plant is tested to see if it can, in fact, fend off Phytophthora. ...
We tend to have these disciplines that think about problems in very specific ways but it’s very fruitful to talk and kind of cross-pollinate,” Cohen said. Now in its fourth year, the Cross-Disciplinary Seed Funds support one graduate student from each of the selected projects for one year. ...
