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. ...
Whether you are seeking to improve crop yields, reduce your farm’s environmental impact, or improve overall crop quality, the YEN will help you: Measure your current farm performance on up to 60 factors, including seed rate, soil health, and fertiliser timings. Benchmark your results anonymously against other growers to highlight inefficiencies and crop ...
If a farmer, forced to delay planting soybeans, wonders: what variety of seed should I sow? And how should I change my seeding rate? The answers are in the soybean chapter of the guide that offers advice from 19 contributors including agronomists, entomologists, plant pathologists, soil scientists and agricultural engineers. ...
The addition of the C850 to the air-seeding family offers outstanding performance, enhanced uptime, and reduced cost of operation. ...
So while many soybean plants were stunted during the height of the 2012 drought, the plants were able to recover and see positive yields thanks to rainfall in August and September that worked to promote seed fill, she said. “So, for farmers who are worried right now, soybean yields have fluctuated only 2-8 percent from the five-year state average of 49 bushels per acre ...
If seed breeding companies, gene banks and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault on Spitsbergen should store plant seeds under oxygen-poor conditions, it would be possible to store them for much longer while still maintaining their germination capacity. ...
But this time, a new, more shadowy issue also emerged: growing unease about how the largest seed companies are gathering vast amount of data from sensors on tractors, combines and other farm equipment. The increasingly common sensors measure soil conditions, seeding rates, crop yields and many other variables, allowing companies to provide ...
Today’s agriculture industry is innovative in many ways, from precision farming to auto-steering to varied seeding and fertilizer rates. Why should soybean varieties be any different? ...
While growers report this method increases seed yields, especially when used with specific cultivars planted in April or early May, there is no research data to support their claims. ...
Expectedly, corn seeding rates in the USA have increased significantly in the past 10 years. ...
William Cox, a Cornell University scientist, investigated the response of two soybean varieties in row widths of 7.5, 15, and 30 inches at four seeding rates in a study funded by a USDA Hatch grant. Cox measured emergence rates of soybean, growth, yield components, and seed yield of soybean to determine if soybeans can grow ...
All seeding was carried out in October. Brennan found that planting rye at higher seeding rates consistently improved early-to midseason rye biomass production and weed suppression. But he saw no consistent crop improvement from grid planting. Brennan also studied seeding rates and planting patterns using a ...
Varying the rate of crop production inputs such as fertilizer and seed makes intuitive sense, as farmers have long observed differences in crop yield in various areas of a single field. ...
