The 2026 ADAS Nutrition Challenge invites companies to put their nutrient-management strategies to the test. Participants will compete directly against ADAS crop scientists and the industry standard RB209 to see who achieves the highest gross margin over nutrient costs. The project aims to understand how farmers and agronomists can use fertilisers and biostimulants more efficiently. It ...
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 within minutes of ...
This year’s challenge takes place on the Yorkshire Wolds with each entrant being assigned a 48 m2 plot of winter wheat replicated 4 times. A separate control treatment will receive nutrition in line with RB209 field assessment recommendations and a second control treatment will be left untreated. Other than fertiliser and biostimulant choice and timings, all other crop applications will ...
Farmers and gardeners know their soil texture can make a big difference in their success. Different plants have different needs for water, nutrients, and air. ...
“This sparked my curiosity to evaluate many other factors in an analysis.” For crop production, Armindo defines soil quality as the ability of a given soil to give a plant everything it needs to grow the best it can. A successful crop depends on a good soil match. “For example, under conditions of highly ...
Loss of endangered species? What about soil contamination? Soil pollution rarely makes headlines, though it is a prevalent global issue. ...
After three years, the wetlands had prevented tonnes of soil from leaving the land, and helped alleviate some of the nutrient run-off that would have affected neighbouring waterways. Soil degradation, erosion and nutrient pollution are major problems caused by industrialised agriculture. ...
To answer that question, researchers from the USDA Agricultural Research Service compared nutrient and sediment loss from no-till, conventional tillage, and reduced-input rotation watersheds in a study published online today in Soil Science Society of America Journal. ...
Biological soil crust organisms found to play an active role in the development of soil structures and the allocation of water and nutrients Thursday, July 19, 2012 - Deserts creep outward in various directions across the western United States. ...
Agriculture Research Service has tested cattle grazing on degraded soil to determine if the activity would have any effect on restoring depleted nutrients. ...
The Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) is reporting the results of a recent survey of trends related to the soil science profession. ...
The traditional measurement methods were developed for repacked sieved soil and are not well-suited for measuring intact soil samples, since they require prior knowledge of the magnitude of diffusivity of the individual soil sample – something which is often not available for intact soil due to its heterogeneous nature. ...
The results are reported in the July-August 2010 edition of the Soil Science Society of America Journal, published by the Soil Science Society of America. ...
Cutan, in contrast, continued to act as a natural highly efficient sorbents for organic compounds in soil. The journal is published by the Soil Science Society of America. ...
A warming climate and an increase in nitrogen to the soil from the atmosphere have demonstrated large effects on soil microbial activity and biomass. ...
Scientists from Indiana University’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs measured carbon sequestration and nutrient accumulation in soils of salt, brackish, and tidal fresh marsh soils of three rivers, Ogeechee, Altamaha and Satilla, of the Georgia coast. ...
Minimizing over-irrigation reduces water loss and leaching of nutrients and promotes greater water use efficiency. Drs. Larry Parsons and Wije Bandaranayake of the University of Florida / IFAS Citrus Research & Education Center in Lake Alfred, FL carried out research on one of these new soil moisture sensors, the ECH2O EC-5 manufactured by Decagon Devices. ...
The potential of no-tillage (NT) soils for increasing the soil organic carbon (SOC) pool must be critically and objectively assessed. Most of the previous studies about SOC accrual in NT soils have primarily focused on the surface layer (<20-cm soil depth), and not for the whole soil profile. ...
Changes in soil carbon occur with changes in land management. Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee investigated quantifying soil carbon changes over large regions. ...
