Since the beginning of the year, around 6,100 solar modules have been generating green electricity, and now farmers have sown the first seeds and planted crops on the site.On the approximately seven-hectare recultivation area on the edge of the Garzweiler opencast mine, RWE is using three different concepts to test how solar power generation and agriculture can go hand in hand – ...
In a year marked by abnormally early crop disease pressures, over 880 British farmers, agronomists, and advisors have made use of the free IPM Tool to create over 1200 bespoke IPM cropping plans online. As part of a new update released this week, new benchmarking functionality allows users to view current invertebrate pest, disease, and weed risks on a national level, and compare their IPM ...
Embarking on a new era in sugar beet technology, CTM has introduced the Optimus – a state-of-the-art sugar beet cleaner loader. Following 25 years of success with the CTM9000 series, the Optimus is designed to tackle the evolving challenges faced by modern farmers during the harvesting process. ...
BioConsortia, Inc. has moved two new nematicides into its development and registration phase following excellent field trial results in corn and other important food crops. The new products control nematode pests and increase crop yields. Plant parasitic nematodes are tiny, ubiquitous roundworms that feed from plants. They directly target roots ...
High value as preceding crop provides for optimized overall profitability Within the entire group of root crops and leaf crops with high market significance, rapeseed is the one with the best value as preceding crop. ...
Rooting and strong seedlings, coloring the fruit, increasing yield and improving quality. This product can quickly activate the growth mechanism of crop roots, promote the growth of new roots and capillary roots, and the roots are thick, roots and roots. Improve ...
This surface drainage problem also involves flushing out nutrients and crop protection products. The outflow of nutrients, pesticides and herbicides in surface water causes various other water quality-related problems. ...
It attacks the roots of the plant which negatively impacts on the yields of subsequent cereal crops,” explains Certis’ Product Manager, Chris Charnock. “Infection delays the establishment of crops and has a harmful effect on growth rates. The disease causes damage to the roots of the plant, which inhibits water ...
This effect dramatically increases the level of moisture around the roots of crops plus the fertilisers dissolved in the water.’ The billboards are located in strategic points in the three main growing regions of Almeria – Almeria itself, El Ejido in the west and Nijar in the East. ...

He explained that the FibreDust grow slabs have been developed in special mixes, tailored to specific crops and growing habits. “We have been developing these blends with growers, and together with them have defined the following products: ‘True’ a blend with a high ratio of coco peat dust, ‘Action’ a coarser coir blend with more coco chips blended ...
Sweetpotato, a warm-season root crop grown across the world, needs heat and humidity to flourish. ...
Highly erodible, sloped fields could be planted, for example, with the deep-rooted bioenergy crops. Researchers on the project are assessing the amount of variation in grain yields, biomass yields, soil moisture and soil water quality among various cropping systems and landscape positions. ...
In spite of debate over its definition, the term ‘orphan crops’ refers to crops that are under-researched and underfunded due to their limited importance in the global market. These include cereals, legumes, vegetables, root crops, fodder crops, oil crops, fibre ...
But the region needs to diversify away from grains that are widely grown to focus more on root crops such as cassava, he added. In many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa and the Horn of Africa, Ntawuruhunga said, it remains an acute challenge to grow enough food to ensure social and economic development. ...
In addition, he says that climate change is expected to do the most harm to developing countries that rely heavily on root crops such as sweet potato. The researchers now want to find out if growing larger sweet potatoes will have any negative impact on their nutritional content, Czeck says. ...
The authors say their findings suggest that raised-field agriculture could also provide better water infiltration and storage in soil and crop roots, and promote crop growth. They also say their findings may apply in savannah settings elsewhere in the world. ...
Ugandan researchers will carry out a series of field trials on some of the major food crops that have been genetically modified (GM), following several recent approvals by the Uganda National Biosafety Committee, despite a lack of clear legislation on commercialising any such products within the country. They will seek to develop both transgenic and conventional maize varieties ...
Cassava is a tropical root vegetable and staple crop for millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa. However, it’s tricky to handle: Once the root is removed from the ground, it spoils within one to three days, so farmers must get it to processing centers as soon as possible after harvesting it. If they don’t, the crop goes to ...
Allocation of plant nutrients to roots before crop harvest is a desirable trait for energy crops, as a high mineral concentration negatively affects biomass quality for bioenergy applications, especially thermochemical processes. Additionally, nutrients retained in roots can be recycled by the crop for future ...
