However, through persistent engagement and demonstration of the benefits, attitudes gradually began to shift. Crop rotation, another modern agricultural practice, was also introduced to enhance soil fertility and crop ...
Built in collaboration with Bayer's global sustainability team, the badge is awarded to farmers who score high on a sustainable farming practices survey which assigns a score to key farming practices such as no-tillage practices, reduced use of nitrogen, soil management or types of rotation crops. Farmers that do not receive the badge in the first place are ...

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. In case of tight cereal crop rotations, the cultivation of rapeseed allows ...
The farmers made a huge profit with the yellow flowering crop but based on several factors rapeseed become under pressure in the lastyears and reached less than 18 Mill. tons in 2018/2019. ...
This explains why the mood continues to be rather sober at the moment, although prospects for the upcoming oilseed rape seeding are definitely positive: Oilseed rape cannot be replaced as it is the most important foliage crop in many crop rotations Oilseed rape is the recovery crop for cereal crop ...
Throughout the years, their conservation efforts have expanded to include the creation of vegetative buffers and wildlife habitats, as well as a consistent system of crop rotation and no-till farming to preserve the soil’s nutrients. ...
Soil Health in the West: The San Luis Valley features the work of farmers Lyle and Erin Nissen, ranchers George Whitten and Julie Sullivan, and their conservationist partners to efficiently use limited water resources and reduce soil erosion through crop rotations, increased biodiversity, and innovative rangeland management practices. ...
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. ...
Biodiversity To restore the natural resilience in agricultural systems, we can use classical techniques such as crop rotation, mixed cropping or flowering field margins with host plants for useful insects. This enables us to restore biodiversity not only spatially (mixed cropping, field margins), but also temporally ...
With their publication, the scientist agree with recommendations of FAO to included cover crops in rotations, on top of that they open new avenues for the design of good species mixtures. ...
Farmers who want to improve their soil’s health and cut input costs all while benefiting Ohio’s water quality may want to consider adding cover crops to their fields. Additional benefits for growers to add cover crops such as oilseed radish, cereal rye, Austrian winter pea and crimson clover include reducing soil erosion and nutrient losses, ...
More broadly, ERA involves balancing crop and animal production, so that the material used for nitrogen fixation and to improve soil fertility can also be used as fodder, and the plant nutrients in manure are distributed over the entire farm during crop rotation. ...
Examining the effect of climate and pesticide use over that time on the abundance of insects and spiders in cereal crops, of the 26 most commonly identified invertebrate groups, 11 were found to be sensitive to extreme weather. However, having a greater effect on some invertebrate numbers in cereal crops than climate change was the use of pesticides, ...
In between seasons of corn, peanut, and cotton, North Florida farmers were interested in growing a rotation crop that could withstand the wilting heat of summer and be harvested by machine. So, since 2011, University of Florida researchers have been experimenting with growing the tiny seeds you find on top of hamburger buns or garnishing salads – sesame ...
So how can you avoid contamination in your crops? There is no sure DON prevention, as environmental conditions play a big part. However, there are several good practices for controlling it such as crop rotation, choosing a variety with some resistance, applying fungicides in a timely manner and tillage practices. ...
The arable land is subject to a very broad crop rotation. Wheat, barley, spelt and rye form the largest share with around 200 hectares; sugar beet accounts for around 35 hectares, and the remainder is planted with maize, rape, fennel and, on the Horn farm, turf is also produced. ...
Ogles and colleagues at Auburn University studied the effects of three different nitrogen sources during a 2-year crop sequence of yellow squash and collards. The scientists used hydrolyzed fish fertilizer, inorganic nitrogen (N) source with secondary and micronutrients, inorganic nitrogen without secondary or micronutrients, and a zero nitrogen control for the study. ...
Practices which enhance soil biodiversity such as reduced tilling, crop rotation and organic farming may therefore help reduce the environmental impacts of fertilisers and improve agricultural sustainability, the researchers say. ...
Looking ahead, WRCC head Harry Strek is planning to further broaden cooperation and dialog with external partners. Integrated crop solutions The WRCC is part of a holistic approach to weed management and supports Bayer CropScience’s strategy of developing integrated crop solutions for sustainable agriculture. ...
