The thought of an Environment Agency (EA) inspection causes stress for many farmers. With broad inspection areas and various regulations to consider, it can be difficult to prepare. To help alleviate some of the uncertainty, we explore the eight most common reasons for inspection failures and things farmers should consider. According to the AIC, the Environment Agency ...
As combines roll and the growing season draws to a close, now is the ideal time for farmers to step back and assess whether their crop nutrition strategies worked or didn’t. In a recent NUTRI-CHECK NET webinar, ADAS crop physiologists Dr Sarah Kendall and Dr Tamara Fitters shared how grain analysis and post-harvest reviews can play a pivotal role in refining nutrient strategies for future ...
Decisive Farming by TELUS Agriculture is excited to unveil a powerful new connection between ChrysaLabs’ innovative soil insights solution with our Farm At Hand platform. This connection allows farmers to receive real-time soil sampling results directly into their Farm At Hand accounts, providing them with precise, actionable insights ...
Fast sampling, fast peak The sample is extracted by a complete PTFE diaphragm pump and filled with the reservoir ring within 2s. ...
Tom’s six on-board cameras, mounted on a boom, deliver a ground sample distance of 0.39mm per pixel. Among the highest resolution of any crop-scanning technology, this gives Tom the capability to see individual water droplets on leaves and early signs of disease outbreak. ...
After a large increase in membership in the first months of this year which brought our membership to over 100 organisations (read our article on celebrating our 100th member), we welcome the diverse range of organisations that joined our community in April and May 2021. Read in the following post about their plans within the Cool Farm ...
For 20 years, our SMS Software has made farm management decision making easier. With data gathered from planting to harvest, all of the information you need to make profitable decisions and manage your field data is right at your fingertips. Every year, SMS continues to become more informative and accessible. However, let’s look back on some major milestones that make this tool worth ...
According to Lu, “Soil microbes catalyze most of the transformations of soil nitrogen into plant-usable forms. ...
Acidic soil can bind nutrients so that plants can’t get them. It can hurt the microbes in soil, as well as plants. ...
This article contains the details of more than 300 soil samples taken from agricultural land in ten European countries. ...
Family-owned and operated, Bowles Farming in the Central Valley in California is taking a close look at the best ways to measure almost every aspect of how they operate—from labor use, to soil variability to environmental impact and profitability. According to Danny Royer, Bowles Farming’s vice president of technology, drones will no doubt be a key measurement and ...
This service is thought to be a quicker and more cost-effective method of sampling and soil testing, which will provide a greater degree of accuracy for UK growers who regularly monitor soil pest levels. ...
The biosensors allow researchers to monitor such processes in real time without having to actually see into or disturb a lab soil sample. The Rice researchers expect their technique will serve the same purpose for environmental scientists that fluorescent reporter proteins serve for biochemists who track protein expression and other processes in biological ...
“Spring is also a good time to pull soil samples to test for fertility and soybean cyst nematodes. “Early planting can also support achieving optimum soybean yields, depending on the soil ...
With today's challenges, it's becoming increasingly important to practice land stewardship, protect water quality, and ensure food security. Maintaining soil health is crucial for increased crop productivity, preventing nutrient runoff, and decreasing costs of crop inputs. One of the first steps in managing soil health is knowing current nutrient levels in the ...
The data can be supplemented with input from, for example, satellites, soil sampling authorities, chain parties, farm management systems, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and sensors. ...
This study explored whether the German permanent soil monitoring programme could be a useful tool for this purpose. The researchers say the programme has potential to monitor the effects of GMOs on local soil communities, but that adaptations would be necessary. ...
“And that starts with taking a good soil sample so that you can have the most reliable test to base your nutrient application decisions ...
Forest vegetation now covers nearly the whole area, and evidence of soil regeneration is indicated by an increase in organic matter from leaf litter increased soil moisture, and the presence of species such as earthworms and fungal mycelium. ...
