A system of bag tank storage is putting a large-scale pig producer a step ahead of legislation that will require slurry stores to be covered by 2027. ...
The application of scientific understanding to farming has improved crop yield and quality. However, farmers and scientists speak different languages. Farmers discuss yield and cost-benefit; scientists quantify caveats, uncertainty and risk. Moreover, a scientific field trial may produce a wonderful PhD but not be applicable anywhere outside the test site. Farmers deserve better than that. What ...
Increasing costs of N fertilizers and the negative impact of excessive N on the environment have made improvement in nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) a desirable goal in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) breeding. Seventeen replicated trials, each consisting of 15 to 20 genotypes, were performed across different environments in Alberta, Canada from 1998 to 2007 to determine genetic variability in NUE. ...
Cropping systems in the dryland farming region of eastern Washington State are dominated by winter and spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). ...
We evaluated the 21-yr effect of tillage and cropping sequence on dryland grain and biomass (stems + leaves) yields of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), and pea (Pisum sativum L.) and soil organic matter at the 0- to 20-cm depth in eastern Montana, USA. Treatments were no-tilled continuous spring wheat (NTCW), ...
Cropping is 404ha of winter wheat, 120ha of oilseed rape, 120ha of herbage seed, 60ha of spring barley and 60ha of winter beans. Wheat yields are reported to be around nine tonnes /hectare and rape is averaging at 3.8t/ha when taking the min-till route. ...
This consists of 2 rows of tines, a spring levelling board, and two rows of packer razor rings. “On kinder land there was no difference in the establishment of either system, which will encourage us to direct drill more next year, but on the heavier soils it was better behind the Flat Lift, probably due to the compaction from the wet ...
This report details the concentrations of over 60 elements in sewage sludge from 48 sewage treatment plants across Sweden; manure from pigs and cattle from 12 farms; the most common NPK and P fertilisers (2 of each sort); precipitation during one year from Gårdsjön in west Sweden; 25 topsoil and 25 subsoil samples from a variety of soil types; and 20 samples of winter wheat grains and 5 samples ...
