BioConsortia, Inc. has moved two new nematicides into its development and registration phase following excellent field trial results in corn and other important food crops. The new products control nematode pests and increase crop yields. ...
With the transition over the years, Agri Technology can now serve as an enabler for the improvement in agribusinesses, while Banks and financial institutions can leverage technology to estimate crop health, growth, and yield in real-time. Digitizing Agri-Finance & Insurance will drive financial inclusion and progressive digital strategy for ...
Higher resolution soil grids to feed global crop modelling projects A group of researchers from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and the Joint Research Centre (JRC) have recently shown that soil data is one of the key factors affecting the outcomes of global gridded crop models, especially when estimating the ...
For many the summer cropping rotation will include sorghum and maximising crop yield and profitability will be a key driver of all pre-plant and in-crop agronomic decisions. Recent research funded by the GRDC, Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAFFI), Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry ...
In contrast, spring brought a shortage of rain to the United Kingdom, northern France, the Benelux, the Scandinavian Peninsula, the Balkan region, and the surrounding areas of the Black Sea and eastern Mediterranean regions, where the crop cycle is also advanced due to the warm weather. The forecast published by the European Commission provides yield ...
Cropping systems with variable sowing dates adapted to changing climatic conditions — as opposed to those with fixed sowing dates — will result in increased mean future crop yields, a modelling study has found. ...
The country urgently needs to revamp its crop yields forecasting and estimation system, if it is serious about tackling its food security problems. ...
The deep gene pool that has allowed wheat to achieve ever increasing gains in yield may be draining. Crop scientists estimate that 50% of the gain in wheat production over the past century has been due to breeding. ...
Those that find N soil testing valuable cite: Optimising N strategy based on fitting crops to paddocks (first stage of precision N management – changing rate between paddocks) Assessing residual from failed and underperforming crops Helping develop fertiliser purchase plan (approximate quantity and when) as well as confirming nitrogen supplementation ...
Other issues include the cost of conversion and the effects of climate and social policies. For bioenergy crops, the estimated yields and technology for producing bioenergy are also significant factors. ...
The study defines ECPT as the number of years needed to produce carbon savings from burning biofuels instead of fossil fuels, to compensate for carbon emissions incurred by clearing land to grow biofuel crops. The ECPT of different regions and crops was calculated, using new detailed databases of crop locations and yields and ...
In the EU, ozone is responsible for 21,400 premature deaths per year, and losses associated with reduced yields of arable crops are estimated to be around 6.7 billion Euros. ...
It is the largest study to date examining the net energy output, greenhouse gas emissions, biomass yields, agricultural inputs and estimated cellulosic ethanol production from switchgrass grown and managed for biomass fuel. ...
Drought in the south of Brazil caused significant damage to agriculture in the early part of the year with losses of about 11 per cent estimated for the soybean crop yield alone. Severe drought conditions also affected China. Millions of hectares of crops were damaged in Sichuan province during summer and in eastern China in ...
