SBR Agricultural Products (SBR) was founded in 1990 and operates in the Mersin Silifke region of Turkey. It specialises in the cultivation of fruit, especially berries – using cutting edge techniques. Its growing facilities are substantial – with 400,000 square metres of hydroponic strawberry greenhouses, and separate 50,000 square meter production areas for raspberry, blackberry and ...
On the 19th of September the 10-year anniversary of the European Biogas Association (EBA) took place at Palais des Académies in Brussels. The conference was opened by the new president of EBA, Harm Grobrügge. The conference was sold out and there were even people on a waiting list! It’s evident that EBA is a strong voice in Brussels and that the EU Commission listens to EBA. ...
AUG crop growth stage estimation technology with AAFC: Prestigious project under AAFC’s AgriInnovation Program for crop management and disease risk assessment Project to provide a commercial tool to facilitate sustainable agriculture management, pest and disease mitigation and resource planning Project will benefit large and small farming operations and also strengthens Canada’s ...
What is NDVI? For more than 40 years agronomists and scientists have used Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to assess the health of crops and plants. But what is NDVI? And how do you know you’re getting the real deal? How does NDVI relate to crop health? NDVI was created when scientists learned that a plant’s unique reflection of a combination of visible red light and ...
A new test could save time and money diagnosing plant viruses, some of which can destroy millions of dollars in crops each year in Florida, says a University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences researcher. In a newly published study, Jane Polston, a UF/IFAS plant pathology professor, examined several ways to detect the DNA genome of begomoviruses. These viruses have emerged ...
Reliable information based on satellite data and ground observations can help the Philippines prepare for and mitigate the effect of recurring disasters, such as typhoons and El Niño, on rice areas in Mindanao. Since 2014, the Philippine Rice Information System (PRISM) has been providing the Department of Agriculture (DA) with timely seasonal data on rice area and yield and assessment of ...
“The workshop is a great opportunity for FIGARO to present the progress we have made so far and show how we can help fight water scarcity,” said Battilani. “By offering a crop-oriented management tool, FIGARO optimizes irrigation and fertilizer dosing, significantly reducing the use of fresh water. ...

The training aims to improve and extend the skills of researchers in using ORYZA 3 for managing large scale simulations, climate change studies, evaluation of breeding lines, and crop management optimization. ...
His program focuses on modeling cropping systems and applying them to optimize crop management under varying and changing climates. He has taught short courses on crop models to over 1000 scientists in more than 30 countries since the late 1980s. ...
Interest in producing cellulosic ethanol from renewable energy sources is growing. Potential energy crops include row crops such as corn, perennial warm-season grasses, and short-rotation woody crops. However, impacts of growing dedicated energy crops as biofuel on soil and environment have not been well documented. This review article looks at the impacts of growing warm-season grasses and ...
Despite high N-use efficiency by grasses possessing both C4 photosynthesis and a perennial lifecycle, numerous studies have demonstrated that significant fertilizer N inputs are required to optimize biomass production by these species when managed as forage crops. ...
Improved management of crops and perennials could go a long way toward alleviating the problem of hypoxia, which claims thousands of fish, shrimp and shellfish in the Gulf of Mexico each spring. An assessment by a team led by Virginia Dale of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Environmental Sciences Division concludes that low oxygen levels in water, or hypoxia, causes problems throughout the ...
