Use farm management software to create the ultimate harvest prep checklist Even in that moment of relative quiet prior to harvest, the busy weeks ahead are beginning to occupy your mind. ...
Our digital platform incorporates traceability allowing the tracking of the cotton value chain from pre harvest to the product’s arrival at buyer’s warehouse. ...
Ozone as an oxidant has numerous potential applications in the food industry because of its advantages over traditional food preservation techniques and superior antimicrobial properties. Ozone can kill bacteria, mold, yeasts, protozoan cysts, and viruses within a short period of time at low concentrations. Besides inactivating contaminant microflora on food, ozone also reduces pesticide levels. ...
Maximize your pre-harvest window, prep strategically for harvest with farm management software As a farmer, you oversee several things at once so it can be tough to decide which hat to wear and when. ...
Long term, we are looking into strategies pre-seeding and post-harvest to build fertility in our soils. What we learned in 2019: Be prepared. ...
Research studies have found that consumers rate fruits such as apples and cherries - which have higher DM – as the tastiest. Research has shown that the DM pre-harvest, at harvest, and post-harvest are related. Thus, DM measured pre-harvest or at harvest is a reliable ...
Harvest is underway in some regions, but for much of the Midwest, late planting and the potential threat of early frost may make harvest a race against Mother Nature. No matter where you are, you’ll want to be ready the moment your crops are - and that means ensuring you’re set up to collect the data that is key to analyzing crop performance and ...
New and Specialty Crops: Developing agronomic practices and efficiencies: e.g. propagation and establishment, fertility and water requirements, season extension, harvesting methods and post-harvest handling and storage issues. Research on efficient production methods that impact labour, energy, and water requirements. ...
Applicants should also address a topic area within the priority areas of strain/productivity improvement; improvements in pre-processing technologies (harvesting, dewatering, and extraction and/or equivalent processes); and integration of cultivation with pre-processing technologies. ...
The method was used to evaluate the dissipation rate of trifloxystrobin and CGA 321113 in rice seedling, soil, and paddy water, as well as the residual level in harvest rice (grain, hull, straw) and soil. The results demonstrated that the dissipation half‐ lives of trifloxystrobin in rice seedling, soil, and water were 1.9–4.7, 0.35–0.54, and 0.28–0.51 d, respectively. ...
Irrigation water salinity effects on colour and health ingredients in the pomegranate peel were studied in two accessions, ‘Wonderful’ and ‘SP-2’, grown under a wide range of salinities, 1.2 to 9 dS m –1 . Ripe fruit peels were analysed for phenolics and anthocyanins composition, and antioxidative capacity. Total phenolics concentration and antioxidative capacity were determined by the ...
The banning of cane burning before harvesting is one such action, since this decreases air pollution and CO2emissions. ...
Increases in the impervious area due to urbanisation have been shown to have negative impacts on the physical and ecological condition of streams, primarily through increased volume and frequency of runoff. The harvesting and detention of runoff has a potential to decrease this impact. This paper describes the effects of urbanisation on catchment flow and of stormwater harvesting on reducing ...
This paper presents the results of the long term biofilter experiments conducted with raw stormwater collected from a canal at Carlton, in Sydney. Anthracite and granular activated carbon (GAC) were used as a single filter media in biofilter columns. Media heights of 75 and 40 cm were used. The filter columns were operated at filtration velocities of 0.12 and 0.25 m/h. The removal efficiency for ...
The steady increase of urban population and the possible effects of climate change that may adversely affect the amount of water available in current water supply systems, makes the study of stormwater and rainwater harvesting and wastewater recycling a high priority. The basic proposition is that any system of water supply that can reduce the amount of water drawn from main ...
Grain dormancy in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is quantitatively inherited. Low levels of dormancy before harvest can lead to pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in the field, which affects grain and malt quality. ...
Preharvest sprouting (PHS), defined as germination of seeds on plants before harvest, is an ever-present problem and concern for barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) growers, processors, and researchers worldwide. A major factor leading to PHS is a lack of seed dormancy, the failure of viable seeds to germinate under favorable conditions. The objectives of this research were to identify a simple, quick, ...
Regression equations can be used to estimate the preharvest neutral detergent fiber (NDF) concentration of alfalfa. In New York, where the stubble height of alfalfa varies due to terrain, predictive accuracy of existing equations may be reduced. The objectives of this experiment were to develop and evaluate alfalfa NDF equations that incorporate intended stubble height. Stands of first-cut ...
To specifically improve preharvest sprouting (PHS) and amylose content (AC) in the cytoplasmic male-sterile (CMS) line G46A, two simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, RM3754 and RM447, that are closely linked to qPSR8, a major quantitative trait locus for PHS, were adopted to select for reduced PHS; SSR marker 484/485, which is tightly linked to the waxy gene, was used to select for AC. In the ...
Influence of post-harvest treatments viz., pulsing and preservative solution comprising of 8-hydroxy quinoline (8-HQ) and sucrose on modified atmosphere low temperature (MALT) stored gladioli were investigated. ...
