Located 15 miles down Fish Rock Road and high up on a ridgetop between Mendocino and Sonoma Counties, the Zenis have been working this land for well over 100 years. One of the great things about this continuity is that a discussion with any Zeni about sustainable farming and perennial agricultural systems is usually bolstered by stories of moonshining and revenuers.
But the true stars of this day are the dry-farmed chestnut trees brought to this country from Italy over 100 years ago. Tall and majestic, their branches stretch across 100 feet and more. The chestnuts themselves actually grow inside of prickly seed pods, so it is important to wear boots (to squash them out of the pods) and gloves to avoid getting stuck. Along with three friends that went with me, we were able to harvest almost 20 pounds!
Sallie Mac will once again transform their garden into a Paris Flea Market for Columbus Day Weekend, Friday, October 10 through Sunday, October 12. Early birds in line on Friday will be treated to hot coffee and French goodies. Unique items from the European countryside and one-of-a-kind vintage pieces will be marked down up to 50%. It’s a great opportunity to browse, Parisian-style, and find a great accent piece for your home, or just get a jump on your holiday shopping. | agronomy |

There’re a number of points we’ve gathered that are necessary for a healthy garden. Let’s find out what you need to do with your garden:
Check your grass
You need to see if your grass is okay for your region. If you’re living in Northern climates, Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and perennial ryegrass are good options for you. But if you live in southern areas, you should consider investing Bermuda grass or zoysia grass as they grow quite well in the southern climates.
Make your soil more fertile before planting
It’s important that you aerate your garden soil prior to planting new grass. This main reason behind this is to increase oxygen, nutrient, and water movement in your soil. You are supposed to spread the seed thoroughly and evenly, and add light film of soil over seeds. Then, water your garden soil until it’s moist. You need to be careful when watering your garden as too much water can drown seed, which can lead to poor garden growth.
Be sure to fertilize the lawn
If you’re having trouble distributing fertilizer all over your yard, consider using a spreader to thoroughly spread the fertilizer. You can fertilize from April to early June, and from late September to November. However, you need to be very cautious when picking the right fertilizer for your garden. One may be bewildered by different fertilizers available in the market. It’s crucial that you consult with an agriculture expert to get the best plan for your garden.

Pesticides, drug residues, household products, cosmetics, heavy metals and many other micropollutants are released into the water. These products have harmful consequences on human health and the environment (endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, …). They end up in the groundwater, where a lot of our drinking water comes from. Some of them are not eliminated by the treatment plants because they are present in too small quantities to be treated or failing to transit.
STUDY OF CONTAMINATION / DECONTAMINATION PROCESSES
The Beauce water table is the largest drinking water reserve in France but also one of the most contaminated by nitrates, mainly of agricultural origin. The study of the mechanisms governing the transfer of pollutants from soils to groundwater is still poorly understood. It is therefore necessary to better understand these phenomena of migration of water and contaminants towards the aquifer in order to improve and preserve the quality of the groundwater.
THE PLATFORMS CONCERNED
DETECT AND ELIMINATE MICROPOLLUTANTS IN WATER
The DECAP platform, managed by the CNRS and the University of Orléans, aims to develop sensors to detect micropollutants (pesticides, drug residues, heavy metals) in water and to develop elimination processes.
WATER MONITORING AND REMOVAL
PRIME platforms, managed by the BRGM, aim to identify and quantify soil, subsurface and groundwater pollution as well as to predict their potential impact on our environment in the short and medium term. PRIME also offers solutions to decontaminate polluted environments (hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, pesticides and heavy metals). PRIME allows the realization of small- and large-scale experiments, from a few kg or cm3 of soil to several tons or m3.
PRESERVING BEAUCE’S WATER TABLE AND IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF GROUNDWATER
The O-ZNS platform, managed by ISTO, aims to understand how and how quickly water and contaminants flow from the ground surface to the water table. The location of the platform, near an agricultural plot in the town of Villamblain (45), allows for experiments in real conditions.
AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES WITH LESS IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
The aim of the PESAa platform, managed by INRA, is to quantify greenhouse gas emissions between agricultural soils and the atmosphere. It also analyzes the effect of precision irrigation practices on agricultural production and the environmental impacts of agriculture.
FIGHT AGAINST THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT WITH PEATLANDS
Peatlands have stored 30% of the carbon accumulated in global soils. The PESAt platform, managed by the CNRS, measures peatland carbon fluxes to know if these systems still continue to store carbon, or if, under the influence of human activities and climate disruption, they release them in particular in the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas. | agronomy |

Hemp and marijuana are products of the cannabis plant, which have opposite functions and effects on the human organism. Hemp products are known to relieve pain, help soothe ailments and various problems of the human body both external and internal, while marijuana products are rich in THC and therefore have a powerful psychotic effect on the mind.
ADVANTAGES OF HEMP in general and of textile products in particular:
Hemp is one of the most ecological fabrics in the world. Its cultivation does not require chemicals, controls soil erosion and produces oxygen. It is a renewable resource that can be grown in as little as 100 days and is the most versatile fiber in the world as well as being biodegradable.
Its tensile strength is eight times higher than that of cotton, which explains its historical use in sails and ropes for sails all over the world. Hemp is in fact an exceptionally resistant and long-lived fabric.
The hemp fabric is hypoallergenic and non-irritating to the skin. It is able to kill the staphylococcus and other bacteria that come into contact with its surface. It is considered to all intents and purposes anti-microbial.
Hemp clothing in contact with the skin can give the feeling of flannel, although it may seem a little stiff and scratchy, it becomes progressively softer after a few washes.
Hemp is insulating and protects from the heat, because it is very breathable, and also from the cold as it is thermo-regulating. It naturally resists mold and readily absorbs moisture, it also protects from the sun thanks to its reflective qualities against UV rays.
The cultivation of hemp does not require pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers: it grows rapidly attracting few parasites, with a density of 150 plants per square meter and reaches a height of 2-5 meters. It produces 250% more textile fibers than cotton and 600% more than linen (with the same land used). The strong roots of hemp build and preserve subsoil structures leaving the soil in excellent condition for any subsequent crop, not depleting the soil, rather, adding organic matter and moisture.
The reasons why PARRAMATTA offers hemp garments are therefore clear: sustainability, refinement, naturalness, historical origins, rarity. A special product for special customers! | agronomy |

Reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are among the explicit goals of policy measures to support biofuel production. Bioenergy crops can reduce or offset greenhouse gas emissions by directly removing carbon dioxide from the air as they grow and store it in crop biomass and soil. Fuels from bioenergy crops are thus considered emission-neutral when burnt. In addition to biofuels, many of these crops generate co-products such as protein for animal feed, saving on energy that would have been used to make feed by other means, and thus avoiding GHG emissions.
Despite these potential benefits, however, scientific studies have revealed that different biofuels vary widely in their greenhouse gas balances when compared with petrol. Depending on the methods used to produce the feedstock and process the fuel, some crops can even generate more greenhouse gases than do fossil fuels. For example, nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential around 300 times greater than that of carbon dioxide, is released from nitrogen fertilizers. Moreover, greenhouse gases are emitted at other stages in the production of bioenergy crops and biofuels: in producing the fertilizers, pesticides and fuel used in farming, during chemical processing, transport and distribution, up to final use.
Greenhouse gases can also be emitted by direct or indirect land-use changes triggered by increased biofuel production, for example when carbon stored in forests or grasslands is released from the soil during land conversion to crop production. For example, while maize produced for ethanol can generate greenhouse gas savings of about 1.8 tonnes of carbon dioxide per hectare per year, and switchgrass – a possible second-generation crop – can generate savings of 8.6 tonnes per hectare per year, the conversion of grassland to produce those crops can release 300 tonnes per hectare, and conversion of forest land can release 600–1 000 tonnes per hectare.
Life-cycle analysis is the analytical tool used to calculate greenhouse gas balances. The greenhouse gas balance is the result of a comparison between all emissions of greenhouse gases throughout the production phases and use of a biofuel and all the greenhouse gases emitted in producing and using the equivalent energy amount of the respective fossil fuel. This well-established, but complex, method systematically analyses each component of the value chain to estimate greenhouse gas emissions.

Amidst the beautiful rays of the summer sun, Catawba College’s Center for the Environment partnered with the Rachel Carson Council to provide an interactive workshop on hog farming and agriculture in North Carolina. As part of their Redesigning Our Future youth summer program, the Center introduces high schoolers ages 14-17 to environmental sciences and mentorship while highlighting the various career opportunities in the field. To bolster the students’ experiences, RCC’s workshop focused on the social components of environmentalism, by highlighting the significance of large scale agriculture in both North Carolina’s economy and environmental landscape.
The students were pleasantly surprised that the session began with embodying the relationships between farmers and their pigs, as a way to provide a lens through which students can examine the difference between small scale hog farming and large scale industrial agriculture. Through the program, students split into two separate groups (i.e. contract growers & frontline community members) to develop an understanding of their respective roles experience with pork agriculture in NC. To close the experience, these young growers and community members “faced off” in a small-scale debate to understanding their counterparts experience around hog farming and improving the conditions for both communities.
Victoria, a joint masters and J.D. candidate at Duke and intern with the RCC, and Elijah, the environmental program associate of the Rachel Carson Council, wanted to push the envelope with the students to highlight the impacts of media and messaging on one’s perception of the world. Though it is a small-scale representation of work happening in North Carolina, it highlights the importance of community building “across the lines” to generate inclusive solutions with local utility. | agronomy |

GET YOUR GARDEN READY FOR SPRING!
With winter now over, it's time to spruce up your garden just in time for spring.
Below are some tips to get your garden thriving over the months ahead.
TIDY UP. Sweep and rake up any leaves and debris and add to your compost. Remove any weeds or scrappy vegies that have survived the winter. Trim path edges with a spade or whipper snipper. Replace any kinking or cracked hoses and fittings, flush out your watering system, clean and oil your garden tools – and get those secateurs sharpened.
GET PRUNING. Now is the time to cut away any dead wood and trim back any leggy growth, allowing new shoots and buds all the space and light they need to get going for spring and summer.
FEED YOUR SOIL. Dig in lots of manure or compost and add a sprinkle of organic fertiliser. This is especially important when you’re going to spread mulch, as mulch tends to deplete the soil of nutrients as it breaks down.
ADD MULCH. Summer is just around the corner, so once your soil is well-nourished and moist, add a thick layer of mulch to conserve that moisture and save yourself time and money on the watering front, as well as keeping weeds to a minimum. But make sure you leave an un-mulched margin around stems and trunks, to prevent rot.
GET PLANTING. Warmer weather is the perfect time for planting. So, head to your local garden centre and stock up on new plants and seedlings for a riot of summer colour, fresh herbs and vegies! | agronomy |

It is much more than just an action for the environmentally friendly-thumbed hobbyist. It is an action which gives the gardener opportunities for reaching serenity and attaining a better appreciation of existence. If you become a avid gardener, it will have a wonderful impact on your way of living.
Steadily acclimate plants to temperature adjustments and problems, if you want to stay away from shocking them. Set them outside in the sunshine for no much more than two hrs the very first day. More than a week, enhance the time exterior gradually. When the changeover is complete, your plants will possibly be able to tolerate the outside conditions.
Shoveling clay is quite difficult and tons of function since the clay is challenging and sticks to the shovel, producing it difficult to deal with. Make your shoveling work simpler by evenly coating a shovel with a layer of wax, then buffing the surface. Either vehicle wax or floor wax will function just wonderful. This causes the clay to slide relatively than adhere, and helps prevent rust as a side effect.
If you would like to have bouquets in your backyard that final through the spring and summer season seasons, plant bulbs. Bulbs are one particular of the least difficult plants to expand and are hardy perennials that return each yr. Remember that different bulbs will bloom at all diverse moments of the year, so if you are mindful to decide on the correct bulbs, you will see blooms in the early spring, and have bouquets all the way to late summer.
Shelter your deciduous shrubs. If the temperature drops beneath 50 degrees, you must contemplate guarding them, particularly if they do very best in heat environments. With a sheet or blanket, you want to loosely go over the wigwam after you tie the tops of the canes together. Folks sometimes use plastic to wrap their vegetation, but plastic can lead to the plants to rot since it impedes air circulation.
Use the information from this report to deliver your backyard garden to life. After your backyard is again to its blooming glory, you will truly feel gratified and renewed yourself. Garden can entirely modify your life if you allow it to, so commence nowadays.

Use perennials resistant to slugs and snails. If slugs or snails find their favored perennials in your backyard garden, they will snack all night time. When you wake up in the early morning, there will be really little remaining of your crops. These backyard garden pests favor perennials with skinny, flat, sensitive leaves, notably if the plant is not yet experienced. Specific perennials are unappetizing to slugs and snails, especially these with hard, furry leaves or an unappetizing style. Deciding on an unappetizing perennial, these kinds of as campanula or heuchera, will aid quit them from getting eaten.
To develop properly, vegetation want satisfactory stages of CO2. Vegetation will not thrive if they do not have an adequate amount of CO2. The ideal way to get a whole lot of it is by means of a greenhouse. When it is uncovered to large carbon dioxide stages, a plant has the very best developing issue achievable.
Eliminate your garden’s weeds! Weeds steal nutrition from plants, robbing a backyard garden of its prospective harvest. To help you do this, you may possibly want to take into account utilizing white vinegar. White vinegar kills weeds. So, if weed pulling is tiring you out, spray a white vinegar remedy all in excess of them.
You can plant wheat grass or cat grass around the crops that the cat eats. You can set something in excess of the soil which surrounds the crops which has a poor smell to cats to discourage them.

The Montagu’s harrier (Circus pygargus) is a species that is particularly linked to cereal crops, mostly wheat and barley.
One of the most characteristic particularities of this species is that it always builds its nests on the ground, a fact that also constitutes one of the main threats it is exposed to since machine wheat harvesting becomes a severe risk for chicks.
Aware of this problematic, EDPR has been collaborating since 2009 with the Castilla la Mancha Communities Council in a search and rescue campaign of Montagu’s harrier nests.
These annual campaigns consist in tracking Montagu’s harrier couples in order to spot nests of this species in the area of study. Next, an agreement is made with land owners not to harvest cereal crops in a specific area near identified nests, therefore allowing chicks to carry on living in the absence of any type of risk. In turn, farmers are compensated economically for the amount of land not cropped.
EDPR invests approximately 12,500€ per year in these search and rescue initiatives which are supplemented with biannual population counts as well as in awareness-raising campaigns on the problematic of the Montagu’s harrier and its importance for the sustainability of agricultural ecosystems.
After six years collaborating on this project, it can be stated that the campaign has been a success year after year, by contributing to the progressive recovery of this species. | agronomy |

This technique has gained significant popularity in recent years due to its numerous advantages over traditional soil-based farming. One of the key components of hydroponics is the use of nutrient-rich water, often referred to as “liquid gold.” In this article, we will explore the importance of Nutrient-rich water in hydroponic systems, its benefits, and how to create and maintain an optimal nutrient solution for successful hydroponic gardening.
The Role of Nutrient-Rich Water in Hydroponics
Providing essential nutrients for plant growth
In hydroponics, plants rely solely on the nutrient solution provided to them through the water. This solution contains a carefully balanced mixture of essential nutrients that plants need for healthy growth, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and various micronutrients. By providing these nutrients directly to the plant’s roots, hydroponics ensures that plants have access to a constant supply of the necessary elements, resulting in faster growth and higher yields compared to traditional soil-based cultivation.
Eliminating soil-related issues
One of the significant advantages of hydroponics is the elimination of soil-related issues. Nutrient-rich water eliminates the need for soil, which can be a breeding ground for pests, diseases, and weeds. By growing plants in a soilless medium and providing them with a precisely formulated nutrient solution, hydroponic systems minimize the risk of plant diseases and infestations. Additionally, hydroponics allows for better control over pH levels, preventing nutrient deficiencies or toxicities that can occur in traditional soil-based gardening.
Water conservation and efficiency
Hydroponic systems are known for their water conservation and efficiency. Unlike traditional farming methods that require large volumes of water, hydroponics uses a recirculating system that recycles and reuses the nutrient solution. This recirculation not only reduces water consumption but also minimizes nutrient wastage, making hydroponics an environmentally friendly and sustainable farming method.
Creating an Optimal Nutrient Solution
Understanding nutrient requirements
Before creating a nutrient solution, it’s crucial to understand the specific nutrient requirements of the plants you are growing. Different plants have varying nutrient needs at different stages of growth. Conducting research on the ideal nutrient ratios for your chosen crops will help ensure optimal plant health and productivity.
Balancing the nutrient solution
Creating a balanced nutrient solution involves accurately measuring and mixing the necessary nutrients in the proper ratios. Commercially available nutrient solutions are available, but many hydroponic gardeners prefer to create their own custom blends. Key nutrients to consider include nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg). It’s important to follow recommended guidelines and adjust nutrient levels as needed to maintain an optimal balance throughout the growth cycle.
Monitoring pH levels
Maintaining the correct pH level is crucial for nutrient absorption by plants in hydroponics. Most plants thrive in a slightly acidic to neutral pH range of 5.5 to 6.5. Regularly monitoring and adjusting pH levels using pH testing kits or meters is essential to ensure optimal nutrient uptake and prevent nutrient deficiencies or toxicities.
Supplementing with micronutrients
In addition to the primary nutrients mentioned earlier, plants also require trace amounts of micronutrients, such as iron, manganese, zinc, copper, and others. These micronutrients are essential for various physiological processes in plants. It’s important to include a micronutrient supplement in the nutrient solution or choose a commercially available solution that already contains the necessary micronutrients.
Maintaining a Healthy Nutrient Solution
Checking and adjusting nutrient levels
Regularly checking nutrient levels in the solution is crucial for maintaining a healthy hydroponic system. Nutrient levels can fluctuate due to plant uptake, evaporation, and other factors. Monitoring electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS) using a conductivity meter can help determine if nutrient levels need adjustment. Adding fresh water and adjusting nutrient concentrations as needed will ensure that plants receive the appropriate amount of nutrients throughout their growth cycle.
Preventing nutrient imbalances and deficiencies
Nutrient imbalances and deficiencies can occur in hydroponic systems, affecting plant growth and development. Monitoring plant health and regularly inspecting leaves for any signs of nutrient deficiencies, such as yellowing or discoloration, can help identify and address issues promptly. Adjusting nutrient concentrations, pH levels, and providing appropriate supplements can help prevent and correct nutrient imbalances and deficiencies.
Managing disease and algae growth
Hydroponic systems can be susceptible to disease and algae growth, which can impact plant health and the overall system. Proper sanitation and regular cleaning of equipment, such as reservoirs and irrigation systems, can help prevent the growth of harmful pathogens and algae. Additionally, using UV sterilizers or beneficial microorganisms can aid in maintaining a healthy hydroponic environmentfree from harmful pathogens.
Troubleshooting common issues
Despite careful maintenance, hydroponic systems may encounter common issues such as nutrient lockout, root rot, or pH fluctuations. Understanding the causes of these problems and implementing appropriate solutions is essential for the long-term success of the hydroponic garden. Consulting resources, participating in online forums, or seeking advice from experienced hydroponic gardeners can help troubleshoot and overcome these challenges.
Nutrient-rich water plays a vital role in hydroponic systems, providing plants with the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and high yields. By eliminating soil-related issues, conserving water, and offering better nutrient control, hydroponics offers a sustainable and efficient method of cultivation. Creating and maintaining an optimal nutrient solution is crucial for the success of a hydroponic garden, ensuring plants receive the right balance of nutrients throughout their growth cycle. With proper care and attention, hydroponic gardens can thrive and produce bountiful harvests, making the most of liquid gold. | agronomy |

Up to $366 million is available nationwide for the purchase of conservation easements on eligible agricultural lands and wetlands.
“This is an exciting new opportunity for even more people to get involved in conserving natural resources,” said Tennessee State Conservationist Kevin Brown. “We encourage state and local governments, non-governmental organizations and private landowners to contact their local NRCS office to find out how to apply.”
The ACEP, created through the 2014 Farm Bill, funds easements for agricultural lands and wetland reserves. Approved agricultural easements would prevent productive working lands from being converted to non-agricultural uses and maximize protection of land devoted to food production. Cropland, rangeland, grassland, pastureland and nonindustrial private forestland are eligible.
Wetland reserve easements would restore and enhance wetlands and improve habitat. Eligible lands include farmed or converted wetlands that can be successfully and cost-effectively restored.
Applications are currently being accepted for wetlands reserve easements and will be rated according to the easement’s potential for protecting and enhancing habitat for migratory birds, fish and other wildlife.
Applications must be submitted to Tennessee NRCS by June 6, 2014. Applications are available at local USDA Service Center and at www.nrcs.usda.gov/GetStarted
Agreements will be evaluated starting in late August. The ACEP combines NRCS’ former Farm and Ranch Lands Protection, Grassland Reserve and Wetlands Reserve programs. Learn more about ACEP and other Farm Bill programs at www.nrcs.usda.gov/farmbill. | agronomy |

Does an organic strawberry contain more vitamin C than a conventional one?
Maybe — or maybe not.
Stanford University scientists have weighed in on the “maybe not” side of the debate after an extensive examination of four decades of research comparing organic and conventional foods.
They concluded that fruits and vegetables labeled organic were, on average, no more nutritious than their conventional counterparts, which tend to be far less expensive. Nor were they any less likely to be contaminated by dangerous bacteria like E. coli.
The researchers also found no obvious health advantages to organic meats.
Conventional fruits and vegetables did have more pesticide residue, but the levels were almost always under the allowed safety limits, the scientists said. The Environmental Protection Agency sets the limits at levels that it says do not harm humans.
“When we began this project, we thought that there would likely be some findings that would support the superiority of organics over conventional food,” said Dr. Dena Bravata, a senior affiliate with Stanford’s Center for Health Policy and the senior author of the paper, which appears in Tuesday’s issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine. “I think we were definitely surprised.”
The conclusions will almost certainly fuel the debate over whether organic foods are a smart choice for healthier living or a marketing tool that gulls people into overpaying. The production of organic food is governed by a raft of regulations that generally prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides, hormones and additives. | agronomy |

In histories of agriculture, a common character is the peasant, superstitious and stubborn and resistant to changes in practice and crops, who has to be tricked or coerced or even driven off the land entirely in order for progress to happen. This is an issue that arises from the historical perspective being predominantly elite-focused. Throughout history, it was elites who wrote histories to be read by other elites, and those elites rarely thought well of peasants or considered things from their point of view. The definition of elites could vary and broaden, but peasantries were rarely writers or readers of history, and so they were ill-represented, an issue that can continue in historiography today. The stereotype of the idiot country bumpkin still has a cultural resonance, even in post-peasant societies.
However peasants had reasons for their actions, and they were not stupid, at least no more than any broad subsection of society is moronic. Their parameters and mindsets varied substantially from those agricultural innovators and those who chronicled their efforts, but subsistence agriculture peasants were operating under a different paradigm.
Agricultural innovation did not come easily to smallholding peasants who operated on a subsistence agriculture system, for a variety of reasons. One was the nature of landholdings, split up into a variety of patches across the village lands. As mentioned, this was done for reasons of food security, but made economies of scale impossible for nearly all landowners. Given that restriction, many farmers wouldn’t make the effort, particularly if there wasn’t a convenient market that could take the surplus.
With many peasants all holding small strips next to each other (long narrow strips were the preferred format because of the ease of plowing), fencing individual strips was not feasible. It took up space, which could be proportionally quite large compared to the strips, and used up timber that could be used for other things. Also animal manure was the only fertilizer they had, so the livestock were let out to graze on the stubble and fertilize the fields with their droppings, which they couldn’t do if there were a bunch of fences in the way. (There was also an element of peasant egalitarianism at work here. A richer peasant may own more livestock, but while grazing their droppings would help fertilize the strips of other poorer peasants.)
However this meant that everyone needed to coordinate his crop routines, so that the livestock would be let out to graze just on stubble. Different crops were planted and harvested at different times, and it was no good to try a different crop if that meant the village livestock would come eat it because everyone else was at stubble and wanted to manure but the innovator’s wasn’t ready to harvest yet. With the need for consensus, it was much easier to just follow the path of traditional inertia and just do things the way things were always done.
But it wasn’t just inertia. The way things were always done had clearly worked, as evidenced by the fact that the village and peasants were there. The old ways didn’t always work, as peasants painfully knew, but they had a backup in the village, with neighbors helping those having bad years with the understanding that they would be helped in turn. (Disasters can hit that strike the whole village, but most calamities are more localized and random. Frost can kill the crop in one part of the village, but a more sheltered area is fine, for example.)
But, for the sake of argument, the village does decide to try something new. Except they don’t have the advantage of hindsight, and that something new may fail. And if that happens, the peasants have no backup. Everyone had to try the new technique or crop, meaning that in the event of failure, it could very well be universal, meaning that there are no peasants who had good years who can provide back up. This is where the inevitable setups can and frequently do turn into disaster, because it breaks the only social safety net.
An agricultural innovation that fails can easily mean that a peasant has to watch some of his or her children starve, and if some must be sacrificed it must be the youngest. The next crop needs to be planted and harvested, and so if there is not enough food to go around in the winter, those who can work in the spring must be prioritized, and those who cannot are sacrificed for the greater good. The old ways have their risks and chances of failure, but they at least have a track record, a critical consideration when the costs of failure can be so high.
The Roman heartland, like the rest of the Mediterranean, was poorly endowed agriculturally compared to lands north of the Alps. Soils were thin and the vast majority of the heartland was hilly or mountainous, and so much of the landscape was not the ideal farming type. Roman farmers did what they could, but their means were limited and the hand they had been dealt was a poor one, especially compared to the likes of their French or German contemporaries. Travelers who had been on both sides of the Alps noted the smallness of Mediterranean livestock compared to those north, with adult sheep being described as small enough that an adult man could lift them in one hand.
The Mediterranean consumer did have a different advantage over his or her northern contemporary, in that they had a greater variety of plants available to them such as fruits, vegetables, and herbs. The Romans sometimes called scurvy the Dutch disease. Because of their fairly short ocean voyages to India via the Red Sea, scurvy was much less of a danger for them compared to the Latins, and so scurvy wasn’t associated with long sea voyages. But Greek mercenaries were common in Lotharingian army units, and in winter garrisons the scurvy had been a serious danger, unlike at home where citrus was bountiful, dried if need be, but always present. (One side effect was to obscure the cause of scurvy, with many attributing it to bad air from cold northern winters or too much close confinement on a long sea voyage, as opposed to a nutritional deficiency.)
But producing those varieties in quantity was hard, with thin soils and marginal landscapes that did not yield much, especially when manure was the only fertilizer, and there never seemed to be enough of it. As the city night soil fertilized the fields outside the city, peasants used their household night soil to fertilize their gardens. Animals were used for a variety of products and labor, but their manure was very important. Many peasants kept pigeons, which were a very cheap source of protein and easy to keep in large numbers, but the primary purpose of pigeon keeping was for their droppings, excellent fertilizer by the standards of the day.
The necessity of manure to make marginal lands productive did impose a vicious feedback loop. Those on marginal lands would be poorer because of low or nonexistent surpluses, which meant they couldn’t have as many farm animals. That deprived them of the all-important manure needed to make their lands viable, which meant they would stay poor. With a lack of fertilizer, marginal lands had to be fallowed for much of the time, sometimes producing only 1 crop every three years, or worse. Thus poorer peasants were especially dependent on the communal pasturing of village livestock on the stubble, enforcing the need for everything to follow the same crop pattern. The other source of manure, working with local pastoralists, also imposed the same need to prevent enclosures and synchronize crops.
This also had an effect on richer peasants who might have enough land holdings, if consolidated, to make a serious effort at commercial agriculture. If they did so, they would also be consolidating their livestock and their vital manure, which would significantly weaken the viability of their poorer neighbors’ lands. And those poorer neighbors knew it and thus would resist any such effort. And while the richer peasants might, by virtue of their comparative wealth, get away with it in the short-term, such success would likely turn to ash in the long-term. The consolidation would increase the risk of one disaster wiping out all the rich peasant’s crop at once, and there were few peasants, even the richer ones, who could readily absorb such blows without recourse to the village support network. Except by their previous actions, they had both alienated the neighbors who would provide such support, and weakened their ability to provide said support even if they had been inclined.
Thus the old ways of doing things had tremendous staying power. It has been said that in terms of material products and practices, the peasants of Phrygia who’d watched Odysseus march off to war with the Persians would’ve been little different from those peasants of Phrygia who’d watched Croesus march off to war with the Persians some twenty one centuries earlier. There is much truth to this statement, provided one is using examples from rural areas distant from markets and towns. There were many more of those markets and towns in 1640 CE compared to 640 BCE, but outside that zone the statement has merit.
Probably the most famous example of this traditionalism, at least in Latin accounts of Roman social life, though is unfair and betrays an equally traditional custom of judging peasantry by non-peasant contexts. Water wheels were extremely common in the countryside in the 1640s, used for a variety of tasks. But most were horizontal water wheels, of a type Strabo would’ve recognized, and far less efficient than the vertical water wheel. At first glance this seems like a textbook example of the primitive nature of much Roman agriculture.
However these horizontal water wheels, while inefficient, are easy to build and maintain. Vertical water wheels are far more efficient in terms of the work they can do but require a complex gearing mechanism to make that work useful, and are thus far more expensive. A great landlord with the ability to force their peasantry to use only their mill thus had a large captive audience of customers that would merit the expense to pay for the greater initial outlay. But the horizontal water wheels of the countryside were primarily for the use of individual or small group peasant holdings. There was not enough expected advantage to warrant the expensive vertical water wheel, but the horizontal fulfilled their needs admirably, and so that is what they used and continued to use. It should also be noted that in contexts where the scale was big enough to justify the extra expense, vertical water wheels would be found in abundance.
Thus those many horizontal water wheels are a good exemplar, but for different reasons than are usually assumed. The peasants who built and maintained them knew their needs, and also their resources and limitations, and the limits of the possible and the dangers of pushing past them, off a cliff, were ever present in their minds. But the water wheels also showed a willingness to develop and innovate when the opportunities were present and available. Ever since the end of the Time of the Troubles and the era of the Flowering, through the rising urbanization and commercialization of society, those opportunities, for both good and ill, had been growing.
From OTL, see Braudel, Mediterranean, Vol. 1. Early modern livestock in general would be small compared to modern varieties, but the difference in size was present and noticed by observers in the OTL 1500s and 1600s.
Also from OTL, but replace Romans with Spaniards. Spanish garrisons in the Low Countries contracted scurvy, which they were not used to getting when stationed in Iberia or Italy.

As such, you should think about the bioinsecticide for fruits that will help make sure you end up with the best products that you possibly can. The main thing to remember is to think about the dangers that pesticides might have on the fruits that you can produce from your property.
There are certain dangerous chemicals contained within some pesticides, and you don’t want to take a chance on that. The bioinsecticides that are created today don’t have those chemicals present within them. That is a big deal because you can potentially keep the fruits that you send to the market safer than they would otherwise be.
On top of all of that, you can also advertise the fact that you are using safer products on your fruits. People tend to appreciate that and will reward you with their business when you go the extra mile for them like this. As such, you should advertise the fact that you are using safer alternatives that will help keep your fruits safe.
There are many things you can do on your farm to make things better. It is undoubtedly true that using bioinsecticides is one thing that you can start using right now. | agronomy |

Brewing beer at Mount Ida is different – it starts in the field and requires a team of experts. Before barley gets planted in our fields we need the expertise of barley breeders. These folks are researchers, geneticists, and plant pathologists constantly in the hunt for the next barley variety that has good agronomic traits (ie good yield, winter hardiness, resistance to pests & disease, etc.) as well as “malting grade” characteristics (in other words will make good beer without processing difficulties in the brewhouse).
The life cycle of our 2-row winter barley is overseen by Mount Ida’s Farm Manager, Keith Shifflet. After harvest, our barley takes a quick trip to Murphy & Rude Malting Co., a small batch “craft maltster” in Charlottesville. At Murphy & Rude, Jeff Bloem processes our barley into pilsner, pale, and munich base malts, as well as roasted specialty malts. The malted barley then makes the return trip down Rt. 20 to the brewery at Mount Ida, where our Brewmaster, John Bryce, mashes it to expertly craft a wide variety of extraordinary beers. It takes tons of talent, collaboration, and hard work to turn barley into beer!
Our latest beer release, Mount Ida Pils, showcases Mount Ida barley. Mount Ida Pils is exceptionally soft with very fine, floral hop aroma and a classic European lager ester profile. If you’re looking for a crisp thirst quencher on a hot day, look no further. Our Brewmaster says, “The craft lager revolution is upon us. Beer drinkers are beginning to seek traditional European-style lagers and understand that delicate, delicious lager beer is the true test of a brewer’s skill. In other brews, excessive hop rates, high ABV, and bold flavors cover up a lot of sins, but there’s nothing for even the smallest mistake to hide behind in a delicate lager.”
Collaboration with barley breeders and maltsters, as well as attention to detail in both the field and the brewhouse is part of our DNA here at Mount Ida. But don’t just take our word for it – the proof is in the pint. | agronomy |

Well-maintained lawns add beauty and value to any property. However, achieving that picture-perfect lawn requires the right tools, and a lawn tractor is an essential investment for any homeowner or property owner with a substantial lawn area. Lawn tractors offer numerous benefits, from saving time and effort to providing precise and efficient lawn care. Unlike traditional push mowers, lawn tractors are equipped with powerful engines and wide cutting decks that cover large areas quickly and efficiently. With a lawn tractor, you significantly reduce the time and physical exertion required to mow your lawn. Your task will be completed faster and with less fatigue as a result. With their larger cutting decks and higher mowing speeds, they cover more ground in less time compared to traditional mowers. This increased efficiency allows you to complete your lawn care tasks more quickly, leaving you with more time to enjoy your beautifully maintained lawn or engage in other activities.
Versatility in lawn care
Apart from mowing, many models come with additional attachments and accessories that allow you to perform tasks such as bagging grass clippings, mulching, towing, and even snow removal in colder seasons. The ability to use your lawn tractor for multiple tasks makes it a versatile and cost-effective investment that handles various lawn care needs throughout the year. With their advanced features and cutting mechanisms, lawn tractors for sale provide precise and consistent mowing results. The cutting decks on lawn tractors are designed to distribute airflow evenly, ensuring an even cut and a professional-looking lawn. This level of precision and consistency is challenging to achieve with traditional mowers, making lawn tractors an ideal choice for those who desire a well-manicured and uniform lawn appearance.
Comfort and ergonomics
They feature comfortable seating, adjustable controls, and ergonomic steering systems, allowing you to operate the tractor with ease and minimize fatigue. The smooth ride provided by lawn tractors further enhances the overall comfort, making your lawn care experience more enjoyable and less physically demanding. Many models are equipped with features like adjustable cutting heights, large wheels with excellent traction, and superior maneuverability, allowing them to navigate challenging terrain with ease. Whether you have slopes, ditches, or rough areas on your property, a lawn tractor handles these obstacles effectively, ensuring an even and well-maintained lawn across all areas.
Traditional push mowers often require more frequent repairs, maintenance, and replacement parts, which add up over time. Lawn tractors are built to withstand heavy-duty use and require less frequent maintenance. With proper care and regular maintenance, a well-built lawn tractor last for many years, saving you money on repairs and replacement costs in the long term. The satisfaction of seeing the results of your efforts and enjoying your well-maintained lawn adds to the overall enjoyment of owning a lawn tractor. The time saved from mowing is utilized for relaxation, spending quality time with family and friends, pursuing hobbies, or engaging in other outdoor projects. Maintaining a beautiful lawn and enjoying your life is made easier by a lawn tractor. | agronomy |

Our forefathers used the sickle, a very slow and unsatisfactory method of gathering grain. Less than a hundred years ago the "cradle" for cutting grain was invented by a Scotchman, and this created a revolution in harvesting. It facilitated the autumn work of a farmer to such a degree he never dreamed there could be any improvement upon that method. But the "cradle" could not avail much on the vast wheat-fields of the New West. Think of Dalrymple cradling thirty thousand acres of grain! One hundred men could cradle but three hundred acres per day at the most; and one hundred days, at this rate, would be required for harvesting. This would "cost more than it comes to." Western farmers could not afford the expense. It was absolutely necessary that some other method of harvesting grain should be discovered, and it was. A machine for cutting, binding, and placing the bundles in an upright position met the needs of the hour. The problem of harvesting the largest fields of grain was solved by this invention.
A romantic Western story was told about this machine last season. A young lady was intently watching its operation, when, in her eagerness to comprehend the process, she ventured too near its enfolding arms, and was taken up by them, as the grain was taken up, bound, and deposited on her feet. Being about the size of a bundle of grain, she passed through the process unhurt, and found herself standing upon her feet with no change except an additional neat little band about her waist.
The writer, who has spoken to us of California from personal observation, speaks as follows of harvesting wheat and the use of the header:--
"It must be remembered that there is no rain from the first or middle of May to the first or middle of October; the seasons vary a little as to the close of the rainy season and the beginning of the dry. As a rule, the wheat in California is cut with a header. On some of the small farms the farmers unite together and purchase a header and alternate in the use of it. In other cases, farmers hire their grain cut by the acre by men who own headers, and make it a business to go from farm to farm during the harvest time. The general practice now is to have the grain cut and threshed at the same time, and by a man who owns and mans and works both a header and steam thresher. These cutting and threshing rigs are complete. They find all the teams and all the help, and move a kitchen and kitchen fixtures all on wheels along with them. They take contracts to cut and thresh wheat or other grain at so much an acre, bushel, or cental, doing all the work and finding everything, leaving the farmer nothing to do but receive and take care of his sacked wheat, and his wife no more care or trouble during harvesting and threshing time than at any other season of the year. The price per acre varies in accordance with the demand for labor and the character of the grain, but runs from seventy-five cents to a dollar and a quarter.
"The wheat that is standing in the field in the morning is found in sacks, and frequently at the shipping depot, ready to be put on the steamer or cars for market before night. We have known it to be carried to mill and returned to the farm in the form of flour, and cooked, so that the hands who cut it in the morning ate it at supper in the form of warm biscuit. We have in the San Joaquin valley, working successfully, combined headers and threshers. These machines move before the horses, --from twenty to twenty-four horses or mules to each machine, --cut and thresh and sack the grain, and leave the sacks in piles. Four men work them, and cut and thresh from twenty-five to forty acres a day, depending on the favorableness of the ground and the grain. If the farmer is busy when his wheat is threshed, and cannot well carry his wheat to the barn or storehouse or depot, all he has to do is to pile his sacks up in the field, cover them with straw, and let them lay there two or three months, or till he can conveniently move them. The clear blue sky is a guaranty against any damage from the weather, and the no-fence law is a guaranty that no stock shall interfere with it. The advantage secured to the farmer in sowing and harvesting his wheat, is, of course, secured to him in sowing and harvesting all other kinds of grain.
"But one word now in reference to spring and winter wheat. We have no such distinction in California. It makes no difference where our seed comes from, or whether it bears the name of winter or spring wheat. Grown in California it simply becomes California wheat, and in Liverpool, or any other market in Europe, it is quoted white wheat, and bears the highest quotations. We change our seed from time to time from one locality to another, or import seed from other States, to gain the advantages of such changes, but our crops bear in all cases the ear mark of the California climate. We have probably said enough to convince the reader that California can raise wheat cheaper than any other country, and to explain why the ratio of production in California is ten bushels for each man, woman, and child engaged in agricultural pursuits to one bushel for each man, woman, and child engaged in the same pursuits in Illinois, or any of the other States east of the Rocky Mountains. But we have one other advantage to speak of, and then we will leave this particular branch of the subject. It is found by actual statistics that the average yield per acre in California is two-fifths more than the average yield per acre on the eastern side of the continent."
This cut shows the steam thresher of which our California informant speaks. What he says about the rapidity with which the work is done--wheat cut in the morning appearing in hot biscuit at night--may seem as fabulous to the reader as any of the reports burlesqued thirty years ago. But the writer of the foregoing is perfectly reliable, and speaks officially, too.
Eastern farmers cannot understand how it is that North Dakota, with its cold, piercing winters and terrible blizzards, and summers swept by cyclones, can produce more wheat per acre than even California. A scientist explains the matter as follows: "The qualities of climate which bear on wheat-raising in North Dakota, and contribute more regularly, uniformly, and efficiently to the growth of the crop than any found in more southerly climes, are, more daily sunshine, --the days, by reason of the higher altitude, being longer,-- cool nights which always favor the cereal crops, deep frosts which gradually melt and supply moisture to the growing plant, less intense heat during the maturing months, fewer injurious caprices of weather at the critical period of growth, and natural climatic conditions which render possible the production of hard spring wheat, --a cheap crop, by reason of its being a quick crop of only about one hundred days from seeding to maturity." | agronomy |

Is it one of your morning rituals? Or your favorite pick me up afternoon drink? If it is, do you ever stop and wonder where the coffee you are consuming came from?
Today might be a good day to start.
Coffee making is one of the largest industries in the world. The world’s biggest producers vary from latin america countries namely Brazil and Colombia – or even Vietnam or Ethiopia where coffee originated.
In RWANDA, Coffee production was introduced in the early 1900’s, when the germans missionaries planted the first trees in the Rusizi sector. During that period, the production chain would stop at Harvest and the coffee cherries would then be exported for the rest of the processing.
In the early 2000’s the revenue from coffee was very small as the price of coffee green beans per 1 kg bag was only around 2 dollars and the consumption of coffee internationally was still limited.
In Rwanda today, the production of coffee has picked up the pace in producing quality beans and the processing chain grew from harvest point to the dry method or the wet method. Rwanda is currently ranked in the top 10 best African producers globally and the price of coffee green beans per 1 kg bag has grown from 2 dollars to around 6 dollars for the best quality.
Despite the glorious reviews and improvements, the coffee industry in Rwanda still faces many challenges.
23% of the coffee trees are above 30 years old with the farmers being more than 51 years old. Among them, only 39% have completed their primary school education. All these elements combined, it has created a stagnant sector operating on old technology and information.
For its survival and thriving, it needs the new generation to join in.
This is where Joel Arusha comes in. A young entrepreneur with a passion for quality coffee, organic farming and youth empowerment.
After completing his Bachelor of Science in Agri – Business, He looked for ways to apply all the newly acquired knowledge. He got involved in farming projects with One Acre Fund organization aiming at improving the lives of farmers in Rwanda.
On his journey, He grew an interest for coffee and the sector as a whole. It started out as a curiosity, but quickly developed into a new found love. He immersed himself in mentorship programs like Artisan Coffee Imports & Consulting, a US based importer and trader of green coffee, and workshops as he explored for an opportunity to impact this sector.
By the time he enrolled into his Master’s Degree in AgriBusiness in 2018, he knew his final thesis will be about his research on the sector: the challenges and opportunities in the coffee making, roasting and exporting industry.
Based on his research, the situation was clear: The coffee sector in Rwanda was slowly shrinking as the production dropped.
The coffee farmers were retiring or passing on and the younger generation wasn’t getting involved to pick up from where they left off.
Joel found out that many young farmers were not interested in coffee farming because it demanded a lot of maintenance without the revenue to match it. Others were more fascinated by trendier farming opportunities. While the rest were unenthusiastic because farming is stereotypical viewed as older people’s business.
After learning about these challenges, he decided to do something about it.
SUN COFFEE EXPORTS & ROASTING
Joel founded a social enterprise named Sun Coffee, an acronym for Sustainable Next Generation coffee with the intent of roasting and exporting the cherries harvested by young farmers.
The enterprise will go a step further by engaging and empowering those young farmers with access to land and organic fertilizers, training and especially a market for their harvest.
Since its inauguration, Sun Coffee has started to work with a cooperative named “Inshuti za Kawa” translated to Friends of Coffee. A cooperative made of young coffee farmers looking to join hands and rebuild the sector. This partnership confirmed the existing need for resources as the numbers of the cooperative members quickly grew by 79%. It also revitalised the vision of the social enterprise to empower thousands of young farmers in the next five years.
Sun Coffee aspires to impact the sector by boosting organic farming through the use of vermiculture for fertilizer, recycling everything from coffee pulp to coffee powder and maximize on sustainable innovative techniques available on the market.
This will make sure that the Sun Coffee will be certified an organic coffee exporting enterprise.
So, the next time, you hold your morning cup of coffee and wander where it came from, make sure you are brewing Sun Coffee. As you will know that each sip is your contribution to quality coffee making but even more a contribution to a whole community lifting itself up from poverty.
Imagine how excellent the rest of your day will feel after such reflection. You are welcome! | agronomy |

DPHSS Release No. 2013-077
Public Advisory on Pesticide Residues on Vegetables
As part of its regulatory activity in protecting the public from potentially unsafe foods,
the Division of Environmental Health of the Department of Public Health and Social Services
(DPHSS) has been testing fruits and vegetables for residual pesticide. Three batches of
produce were tested by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on behalf of this Department.
Laboratory results revealed that out of a total of 25 samples, four vegetables tested positive
for residual pesticides that are not authorized for use. The remaining 21 samples of produce
either did not have any residual pesticides present or the levels of residue were within acceptable ranges.
The four positive results are as follows:
1. Long Beans (Locally grown)
Green long beans (Vigna unguiculata sesquipedalis), commonly known as frioles (Chamorro) or sitaw (Filipino),
were contaminated with the pesticide permethrin, which is not approved for use on this particular vegetable.
Permethrin is a restricted use pesticide for crop and wide area applications (i.e., nurseries, sod farms)
due to its high toxicity to aquatic organisms, except for wide area mosquito adulticide use. It is a general
use pesticide for residential and industrial applications. Permethrin is registered for use on/in numerous
food/feed crops, livestock and livestock housing, modes of transportation, structures, buildings (including
food handling establishments), Public Health mosquito abatement programs, and numerous residential use sites
including use in outdoor and indoor spaces, pets, and clothing.
2. Cucumbers (Locally grown)
Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus), commonly known as kiukamba (Chamorro) or pipino (Filipino), were contaminated
with the pesticide dimethoate, which is not approved for use on this vegetable.
Dimethoate is a general use systemic organophosphate pesticide currently registered to control insect pests
on fruit, vegetable, grain and field crops, ornamentals, and non-cropland adjacent to agricultural fields.
It is available as an emulsifiable concentrate and wettable powder formulations.
3. Korean Spinach (Imported from Korea)
The Korean Spinach was contaminated with the pesticide fluquinconazole, which is not approved for use on
Fluquinconazole is not registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It is an illegal pesticide
and must not be applied on any produce sold in the United States, including Guam.
4. Kang Kong (Locally grown)
Kang kong (Ipomoea aquatic), a leafy green vegetable also known as Chinese water spinach or swamp cabbage,
was found to be contaminated with the pesticide chlorothalonil, which is not approved for use on kang kong.
Chlorothalonil (2,4,5,6-tetrachloroisophthalonitrile) is a general use pesticide, particularly a fungicide,
that is sold under commercial brand names such as Bravo Weather Stik, Daconil, and tetrachloroisophthalonitrile.
Chlorothalonil has caused irritation of skin and mucous membranes of the eye and respiratory tract on contact.
Cases of allergic contact dermatitis have been reported. Chlorothalonil is used as a broad spectrum, nonsystemic
fungicide that can also be used as a wood protectant, pesticide, acaricide, and to control mold, mildew, bacteria,
When used and applied appropriately, pesticides pose a minimal risk to the general public. Finding minute traces
of pesticide or its components, called “residual pesticide,” on fruits and vegetables are not uncommon.
Locally, pesticides are regulated by the Guam Environmental Protection Agency (Guam EPA), but residual pesticide
on agricultural food products is the responsibility of DPHSS. Under the law, any food with a pesticide level above
the tolerance level established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or found to contain any level of
unapproved pesticide, is deemed adulterated and cannot be sold.
As a result of these findings, this Department is working closely with GEPA and the Department of Agriculture in its
investigation. Because a month has passed between the initial sampling of these produce and the receipt of the
laboratory analysis, the contaminated vegetables are no longer present at retail facilities.
This Department would like to remind the public to regularly wash hands after handling raw agricultural commodities
that may be tainted with unnecessary levels of residual pesticide.
DPHSS further recommends the following to the public:
• Wash fruits and vegetables using large amounts of cold or warm tap water (with no soap or other detergents) before serving. Washing will help remove pesticide residues, dirt, and microorganisms that may be on the surface of these foods. Scrub with a brush when appropriate for produce with firm skin or hard rind.
• Throw away outer leaves of leafy vegetables, such as lettuce and cabbage.
• Peeling and discarding outer skin or rinds of some produce is an option since some pesticides are absorbed into the plant.
• Always wash squash and melons since dirt or bacteria, and possibly residual pesticide, on the surface can be transferred to the inner flesh during cutting.
• If cooking fruits and vegetables, do so thoroughly. Cooking can break down some pesticide residues because they tend to be heat sensitive.
• Eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables can limit exposure to any one type of pesticide residue.
DPHSS wishes to emphasize that while ingestion of minute concentrations of pesticide can occur during consumption of commercially and homegrown fruits and vegetables, the benefits of eating these foods outweigh the potential risks, so the public is encouraged to follow the recommendations provided.
For further inquiry into this matter, the Division of Environmental Health of DPHSS may be contacted at 735-7221. | agronomy |

Traditionally a farming community, Cusgarne is surrounded by farmland and has an excellent organic farm shop.
Church Close Cottage and The Threshing Barn are set in secluded corners of the grounds. Both have a private patio area with barbeque and seating. There is an elevated area of grass between the barn and the cottage where guests can enjoy views to the south and west across farmland.
The grounds are terraced and have been landscaped with areas of grass, wild flowers, shrubs and gravelled pathways. There are elders and sycamores along the stone hedging and a number of old elm trees which stand between the barn and cottage. There is also a hawthorn in the middle of the grounds which gives a stunning show of May blossom.
The Bullpen has a table tennis table and in the lower section a 'gnu' drier for drying wet clothes, both for the use of our guests.
A private path leads to a walk by the stream in the valley below.
There is parking on the far side of the Bullpen so that the area around the barn and the cottage will be for pedestrians only adding to the safety and seclusion of the site. | agronomy |

True, but not new
A round watermelon can take up a lot of room in a refrigerater and the usually round fruit often sits awkwardly on refrigerator shelves.?Smart Japanese Farmers have forced their watermelons to grow into a square shape by inserting the melons into square, tempered glass cases while the fruit is still growing on the vine.
According to this email forward, attached photographs depict unusual square watermelons that are grown by farmers in Japan. The message claims that the square watermelons are created by inserting them into cube-shaped glass containers while they are still growing. Square watermelons, claims the message, will fit more easily on shelves and therefore save refrigerator space.
Given the amount of manipulated images that circulate via email, it is perhaps not surprising that some recipients have questioned the veracity of these square watermelon photographs. However, the images are genuine and have not been manipulated.
In fact, square watermelons have been grown in Japan for a number of years. According to a BBC news article published in June 2001, a Zentsuji farmer came up with the innovative idea for a space-saving square watermelon some twenty years earlier. Since then, the square fruit has been sold in various selected outlets across Japan, but they are prohibitively expensive to buy and their potential market is therefore quite limited. The BBC article noted:
Today the cuboid watermelons are hand-picked and shipped all over Japan.
But the fruit, on sale in a selection of department stores and upmarket supermarkets, appeals mainly to the wealthy and fashion-conscious of Tokyo and Osaka, Japan’s two major cities.
Each melon sells for 10,000 yen, equivalent to about $83. It is almost double, or even triple, that of a normal watermelon.
“I can’t buy it, it is too expensive,” said a woman browsing at a department store in the southern city of Takamatsu.
According to another 2001 news article about the square fruit, it was doubtful that there would be much of a potential market for them in the US. However, in 2006, British supermarket chain, Tesco announced plans to sell square watermelons in the UK at much more affordable prices than those sold in Japan. An August 2006 Food Business Review article noted that the square fruit was being produced in Brazil especially for Tesco and was grown using wooden boxes rather than glass containers.
Garden hobbyists have also dabbled in square fruit production. A North Carolina resident has even grown square tomatoes after hearing about the square watermelons grown in Japan. And an August 2007 Lansing State Journal article offered gardeners instructions for growing square watermelons using cinder blocks.

Also, most methods of organic gardening are fairly inexpensive. In the following paragraphs, you’ll find some suggestions that will help you make the most of your garden.
Starting off your garden with healthy soil can be the best defense against those pesky garden bugs. Healthier plants are greater in strength and resistance to illness and insects. To give your garden the best chance of yielding the healthiest plants, start with a high-quality soil that has fewer chemicals which over time will accumulate salts.
Use perennials resistant to slugs and snails. Your plants can be destroyed by slugs and snails overnight. Certain perennials that don’t have tough leaves are especially tasty to snails and slugs. There are perennials that slugs do not want to eat, the ones that they hate have hairy leaves, or are unappealing to their taste. Excellent varieties include heuchera, achillea, euphorbia, campanula, and helleborus.
The correct soil can make a big difference in how your garden grows. The soil that is already in your garden might need amending, depending on the particular plants that you want to grow. You could also isolate a certain area, and fill it with just one kind of soil.
Garden vegetables should be planted in areas of the ground that receive a minimum of six hours of daily sunlight. Almost all vegetables need this much sunlight, so that they can grow correctly and in a shorter amount of time. Some flowers need the same thing.
Grow some plants that cats like to eat – try catnip or wheat grass. You could also repel your pet by planting rosemary or placing citrus fruit peels around your garden.
If little ones live in your home, consider including everbearing strawberries in the garden plot. You will find that they enjoy participating in gardening if they are allowed to pluck the fresh berries and eat them straight from the earth.
Place at least an inch of mulch that is organic in with your veggies! When you place mulch around your plants, it keeps the ground more moist. It will also prevent the growth of weeds. This will save you time, money, and effort in your lovely garden.
Try pouring water leftover from steamed vegetables onto your potted plants. It contains rich nutrients that come from the vegetables. You can also acidify soil for rhododendrons, gardenias and more by using coffee or tea grounds. Chamomile tea can be effective if you have problems with fungus in your garden. Simply sprinkle it on the affected plant.
When growing indoor plants, the thermostat should be set between 65-75 degrees throughout the day. Plants need to be in an environment that is neither too warm nor too cool for them to grow. If you think it would not be comfortable to keep your residence that warm in the winter, consider purchasing a heat lamp to use on the plants.
Spacing is essential when planting an organic garden. When the garden is bare, it is sometimes hard to envision how much space a mature plant actually needs. This will give you enough room to work around your garden without smashing any plants. Try to plan your garden and place sufficient distance in between your seedlings.
Try not to let the chores associated to your organic garden build up. Even if you end up being too busy to do garden chores every day, do small tasks that will help you avoid having to do large tasks when you finally do have time. You can pull a few weeds when you take your dog outside.
Organic gardening is a safe hobby to share with your children. A garden can teach your children about the joy of rewarding work and nutrition while bonding.
Use a laundry basket to help you collect produce from your garden. It makes a great strainer for your vegetables. Rinse the product off whilst it’s in the basket so that any extra water can strain through the laundry basket’s holes.
Research the local botanical insecticides which can be useful in deterring the pest population. All insecticides are strong, including botanical ones. However, botanical pesticides rot rather quickly and tend to disappear.
Grow your plants in different areas of the garden every year. Fungus and disease are more likely to affect plants if they stay in the same location for long periods of time, especially if they belong to the same family. Plants of the same type will be vulnerable the next season. Rotating the types of plants that you grow will help to keep the fungi and diseases from gaining a foothold.
Research, hard work, and some dedication are the main requirements. But soon you will see the work begin to pay off, as the garden begins to grow.

Trust me, I've learnt this lesson the hard way... multiple times... but we are all beginners at some point in time right and it's the only way we learn!
It is SO important to do your research about each plant you bring into your home. Look at things like what country do they originate from, where do they grow in their habitat etc. This will give you a general idea of what conditions they need to thrive in your home and it will also give you an idea of what type of soil or substrate they might prefer to grow in.
A plants root structure can be so useful in giving you an idea of what soil mix they might prefer. Plants with a really delicate and fine root system, like chain of hearts and string of pearls, often prefer a soil mix with finer particles so their roots come into good contact with their substrate. Plants with a chunkier root system, like pothos and anthuriums give an indication that they might prefer a chunkier soil mix with a lot more aeration and drainage.
So how do we get the best soil mix for our plants? I highly recommend mixing your own or buying a custom mixed blend suitable for the plant you want to pot up.
The store bought, ready made potting mixes are a fantastic base for houseplants but I wouldn't recommend using it straight from the bag. They often lack the right amount of drainage and aeration properties that most houseplants need to thrive. They are often quite dense and retain far to much moisture, so if you are an over-waterer this can be a real issue.
Pic Left: The potting mix I use as my base, organic and contains slow release Fert.
There are SO many soil amendments you can incorporate with your regular potting mix to
add specific benefits. Below is a list of some of the more common and popular amendments
Kiwi-char / activated charcoal
Worm castings / slow release fertiliser
Peat moss / cococoir
Each amendment has a specific benefit and you can really customise a mix to suit you, your plants, your environment and your watering habits.
Things like perlite, pumice, bark, fern fibre and leca add beneficial drainage and aeration to a mix.
Coco-chip, peat moss and vermiculite retain moisture to sustain a robust root system.
Worm castings act as a natural, slow release fertiliser, feeding your plants over a period of time.
Lime chip neutralises acidic soil and adds chunk for drainage.
Kiwichar/activated charcoal keeps the soil "sweet" and healthy. Kiwichar also promotes deeper root growth in your plants.
Some amendments have similar benefits, therefore you don't need to add them all to a soil mix. You can select one or two that is available to you and use that. There is really no right or wrong combination!
The next question I get asked A-LOT is ratios! How much of what should you use.
This is why I have taken the guess work out of it for you and put together an amendment bundle on my website. After experimenting with different ratios and combinations over my years caring for plants I have found and created an ideal mix that suits most, if not all houseplants.
The bundle contains 1kg of worm castings, 2L of fernfiber, 2L of grade #2 bark, 2L coco-chip and 2L of perlite.
With this, you simply add a 15L bag of potting mix of your choice and you have a perfectly balanced soil mix for your plants.
But if you prefer to do your own experimenting then my honest advice is just to eyeball it. If you are heavy handed with the water you want to add more drainage amendments so your soil drains freely. If you are a few and far between waterer then you'd want to add more moisture holding amendments into your mix.
So just to recap, figure out where your plant originates from to get an idea of what they might like to grow in. Think about your home environment, is it hot and dry or warm and humid and lastly your watering tendencies. This will help you figure out what soil mix and amendments will be right for you and your plants.
But above all, get ya hands dirty and have fun experimenting creating!

Turns out, it was anything but simple.
Just getting the driveway down the hill to the building site was a challenge. Properly managing stormwater was essential to ensure the hill and driveway would be stable in heavy rains. The main goal was to keep water on top of the hill with plenty of basins to hold the rainwater. The water could not run down the slopes or driveway because it would wash out the sandy soils. The second priority was to keep water out of the lake with thoughtful roof design, basins, and a shoreline buffer.
They interviewed multiple excavators and had experts from CWSWCD, MPCA, and the U of M extension office come out to the site for advice. CWSWCD created a stormwater management plan and provided guidance for seeding the slopes.
Berms and swales made from reserved topsoil now direct all the water from the pre-existing shed roof into stormwater basins.
Four years later, Native flowers, grasses, and apple trees soak up the stormwater in the swales and basins.
The top of the driveway is sloped to dump water into large basins on the right. A vegetable garden was planted in one of the basins.
Asphalt curbs on both sides of the lower part of the driveway direct the water into a large stormwater basin at the bottom. A berm ensures the water doesn't drain into the lake. The curbs also prevent wash outs on the steep slope next to the driveway.
The steep slopes needed immediate protection and vegetation. The excavator saved topsoil and put down a good layer to help seeds get started. Just before snowfall, the slopes were generously seeded with Minnesota Native Landscapes “Steep Slope Mix” and a cover crop. Curlex blankets (purchased at BrockWhite) were staked in place to stop erosion and help the seeds germinate in the spring.
Native prairie plants thriving on the same hill, 4 years later! Monarda (Bee Balm), Yarrow, and Brown Eye Susan attract birds, bees, and butterflies. The drainfield was seeded with a native Septic Mound seed mix provided by CWSWCD.
The house roof was designed to drain water away from the lake and into a swale and basin behind the house.
All of the careful planning paid off. The site performed very well in a 10-inch rain event.
The lakeshore was designed to minimize maintenance and reduce runnoff into the lake.
The lawn around the home is seeded with a "Cabin Grass/No Mow Grass Seed Mix" from Landsburg's Nursery. The roots grow deeper to absorb more water and mowing is infrequent.
The shoreline was left natural as possible while still keeping a view. Invasive reed canary grass was removed and the site was re-seeded with a shoreline seed mix.
In 2019, Joe and Jodi were finally able to move into that simple little cottage down by the lake. You can learn more about the project on their blog site. | agronomy |

Book Description. Management of Problem Soils in Arid Ecosystems examines the challenges of managing soils in arid and semiarid regions. These soils contain low organic matter, are not leached, and accumulate lime, gypsum, and/or soluble salts, . The Zambezi Valley is a semi-arid to arid region located in agro-ecological region IV. The region is characterised by low annual precipitation of mm – mm, seasonal droughts and severe intra-season dry spells. The rain season is unimodal, extending from mid-November up to the end of March (hot, wet season).
Salinity is a global problem. The continuous loss of arable land due to irrigation in arid and semi-arid regions of the world, over-exploitation and mismanagement contribute to global change in a way which currently appears to draw much less concern in the media and the general public than the accumulation of green house gases –carbon dioxide, methane and others – in our .

Salinity. Agriculture is the world’s largest freshwater user, impacting the water cycle especially in arid and semi-arid regions, through the diversion of surface water and the extraction of groundwater.
This is exacerbated by increases in the standard of living, and crop yield reductions resulting from land overuse and degradation (Nellemann, ). Hydrology is a key influence on water security, environmental sustainability, agricultural production, energy, and transport, especially in unique environments such as arid regions and the tropics, where degradation issues on water and land can threaten the livelihoods of poor communities.

Leabank Square gets growing
On Sunday, the green-fingered residents of Leabank Square got busy planting up hundreds of pots with wildflower and woodland seeds as part of the meadow's growing scheme.
Their amazing effort means we'll have loads of new plants to add in autumn, so there'll be a feast for the bees and birds in 2012. And the pots are completely biodegradable, so we can plant them straight into the grass later.
The group planted Betony, Agrimony and Cowslip (which our honey-making friends will enjoy), and teasels (which will attract lots of small birds).
A huge thank you to Leabank Square - and to The Hairy Pot Plant Company for the incredible pots! | agronomy |

Through reading this article, you will get to understand the right equipment for n running the honey harvesting business.
First, you should have the honey extracting equipment which is used to remove honey from the honeycombs but still preserve the honeycombs’ physical state for production of honey in the future. The use of the centrifugal force technique is employed to extract the honey from the honeycombs while leaving the combs intact.
The beekeeping suit plays an essential role in protecting your body from the bee stinger as it contains the hat, veil and the body cover. You are carefully shielded from the venom of the bees and their stingers by wearing the beekeeping suit.You will as well need to have a bee smoker which is an instrument for calming the bees while harvesting the honey as it dulls the receptors and stops the guard bees from releasing an alarm pheromones. Since there will be less bees around when harvesting while using the smoker, the process is made very easy and the smokes makes them eat much honey that soothes them further.
The honey strainer will benefit you as it will help in purifying the honey as it removes unwanted particles such as wood particles and bee parts together with the wax before you do the packaging.You need a bee brush for the safe removal of bees while harvesting the honey in the beehives as it removes them safely from the hive without killing them. The bee brush helps in cleaning through the frames very gently without hurting the bees or breaking their legs before extracting the honey.
You need to have the uncapping knife for proper extraction of the honey from the wax as it cuts through the wax which makes it very difficult to extract the honey. An electric uncapping cup is also suitable as it eases the job.Another honey harvesting equipment that you cannot miss is the honey uncapping fork which is used for scratching the cappings that the uncapping knife missed.
The uncapping tack benefits you very well as you can always use it when uncapping the frames easily on the tank and later collect the honey then on that went through the honey gates.The honey harvesting will also need the collecting equipment which may be a jar or a bottle, and it should be closed with an airtight lid.

In 2014 the Shire of Ashburton and the Chevron-operated Wheatstone Project formed a community partnership to support the continued success of the garden and its associated educational program.
The OKKG program delivers health and wellbeing outcomes for local students through weekly gardening and cooking classes. It enhances learning at the school through tactile experiences and provides local kids with a chance to connect with and learn about nature.
The program teaches literacy skills through reading and writing recipes, mathematics and nutrition by preparing healthy meals and other Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) learning activities such as plant and animal biology, and water and weather systems.
Recently, the OKKG launched its first cookbook, a compilation of students’ recipes grown in their school garden over the past three years.
Development of the cookbook was made possible through the support of the Chevron-operated Wheatstone Project, and copies have been distributed free-of-charge to the local community.
Chevron Australia Community Engagement Advisor Sam Rigg said all three of my children love their time in the garden and my partner volunteers there, assisting with growing seedlings and general gardening tasks.
“Feedback to date is the community and kids love the new cookbook, there is a sense of pride as the kids flip through it and show you their photos, recipes and produce they’ve grown in the garden,” Sam said. | agronomy |

For instance, it is called Akpu in Igbo, Rogo in Hausa and ẹyẹ in Yoruba. Regardless of the name, this tuber is loved by the three regions in Nigeria. According to this wikipedia article, Nigeria is the largest producers of cassava in the world, followed by Brazil. Cassava is a popular staple food in Nigeria with many health benefits as discussed in this page.
What is cassava?
Cassava also known scientifically as “Manihot esculenta” is a perennial woody shrub with an edible tuberous root, basically grown in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. It is a major food in Africa, South America and other developing countries. Cassava food is rich in carbohydrate, potassium and fiber, in addition to being a great source of vitamin C, folate, saponins and resveratrol. See the nutritional composition of cassava according to the table below:
|Components||Quantity (100 gr)|
|Total fat||0.3 g|
|Saturated fat||0.1 g|
|Polyunsaturated Fats||0 g|
|Monounsaturated Fats||0.1 g|
|Dietary Fiber||1.8 g|
|Vitamin A||13 UI|
|Vitamin C||20.6 mg|
|Vitamin B6||0.1 mg|
Origin of Cassava
Cassava originated from Tropical America (southern Brazil and eastern Bolivia) and in the year 1558, the Portuguese brought it to Africa through the Congo Basin. Today, it’s one of the most consumed food in Nigeria and the third highest source of Carbohydrate in West Africa. It is both a source of food for family and commercial purposes so this has led to some people going into cassava farming as source of making a living.
11 Health Benefits of Cassava
Cassava is a highly energetic food. The nutritionist Paula Schlobach says that the best way to consume it is in meals that have the high energy content as a purpose, for example at breakfast, lunch or in pre or post workout snacks. Check out some benefits found in the consumption of cassava:
1. Good Bowel Function
“Cassava helps to maintain the muscle tone of the wall of the digestive tract. It also helps with peristaltic movement, which is when the intestine starts to move, and this helps in the absorption of nutrients. People who usually have their intestines stuck means the peristaltic movement is not working properly, and this slows down digestion. And cassava because it has potassium, helps in muscle contraction “, explains nutritionist Carlos Cristovão.
2. Anti-Cancer Functions
According to Carlos, cassava has vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps fight some pathologies and increase the immune system, acting to fight cancer. Vitamin C also helps in the treatment of ovarian cancer and lung cancer, in parallel to traditional therapies.
3. Strengthens Hair
“Because it is a food rich in nutrients, it does help strengthen hair. And not only that, because it increases immunity and your body ends up getting stronger. There are even tribes in the southeastern United States that use cassava leaf to make shampoo, soap and some personal hygiene items. So it’s a really beneficial food for hair health “, explains Carlos.
4. Good for Eye Health
“It is a food that contains vitamin B1, which neutralizes diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts. It is not that it prevents, but actually helps to neutralize. It does not let these diseases evolve,” says Carlos.
5. Relieves Symptoms of Arthritis
“Cassava contains a component called saponin, which improves the condition of joints that are affected by arthritis, because it limits or stops their deterioration. Cassava also avoids the side effects that medication has on the digestive system. To reduce pain, stiffness and swelling caused by arthritis it is recommended to consume cassava every day “, says Letícia de Paula.
6. Prevents Anemia
Nutritionist Thayana Albuquerque explains that cassava has iron and folate, very important nutrients in preventing anemia. “It should be consumed in the diet together with proteins and dark green vegetables, to enhance the natural treatment of anemia”, she adds.
7. Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Action
The nutritionist Paula Schlobach explains: “Cassava contains saponins and polyphenols, which guarantee the anti-inflammatory action. In addition, it has the presence of a compound called resveratrol and also vitamin C, which enhance the antioxidant actions of the food”.
8. Softens the Damage of Ultraviolet Rays on the Skin
” Studies indicate that resveratrol is able to delay or reverse the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, suggesting its action as a sunscreen against UV radiation. There are several mechanisms by which resveratrol exerts its chemoprotective action that include mainly antioxidant activity, free radicals, anti-inflammatory activity, inhibition of cell proliferation, inhibition of metastases “, explains Paula.
9. Reduces Cholesterol
Thayana explains that, due to the amount of fibers that cassava has, it acts beneficially directly in the intestine, helping to lower blood glucose and cholesterol. However, to enjoy this benefit, it is recommended to consume boiled or roasted cassava as the excessive consumption of cassava flour can increase triglycerides.
10. Combat Oxidative Stress
“Cassava can help oxidative stress inside cells as it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substances”. This can prevent premature cell aging.
11. Good for Physical Activity Practitioners
“Because it is a low glycemic index carbohydrate, a source of vitamins and minerals, eating cassava is very beneficial for practitioners of physical activity. Indicated as a source of energy before training and for recovery its intake is also indicated in the post-workout”.
A lot of men who engage in heavy duty jobs normally eat “Fufu” (processed cassava) to get enough strength.
Cassava Recipes in Nigeria
Cassava can be processed as Garri, which is a creamy-white semi fermented and fried cassava that can be soaked with water and drank or made with hot water to be eaten alongside a soup.
It can also be processed to produce “Fufu” or “Apku” after fermenting and cooking. Fufu is a whitish solid food eaten with a soup.
Cassava recipes includes;
- Cassava flakes
- Cassava Flour Meal
- Roasted cassava
- Cassava cakes
- Cassava Swallow with Okro Soup
- Cassava Buns
- Abacha (African Salad)
Consumption During Pregnancy
Consumption made in moderation is indicated for pregnant women, according to Thayana. “It is beneficial to the intestine since in pregnancy the organ slows down. Cassava also has folates that help in the formation of the neural tube in the fetus. And, finally, it provides a good amount of energy for the mother and baby without causing blood glucose spikes, preventing gestational diabetes “, he explains.
Cassava in Infant Feeding
Leticia recommends that cassava be introduced into infant food together with first baby foods, which are usually offered to children from the 6th month. “I recommend varying it with potatoes, cassava and yams. Because it is rich in fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, cassava is only good for children’s health”, he adds.
Disadvantages of Eating Cassava
There is no disadvantage for the consumption of this food the right way, but an important precaution needs to be taken. “Cassava cannot be eaten raw”, warns the nutritionist. Some species of cassava have a substance called hydrocyanic acid, which can cause poisoning if swallowed. “In the most popular cassava species in Nigeria, called table cassava, the concentration of hydrocyanic acid is insignificant. In the species known as wild cassava there is a greater amount of this toxin and, if it is not well cooked or eaten raw, it can cause intoxication “, he adds. | agronomy |

This is 1 question mums everywhere are asking. Unfortunately, really not a issue that could be answered. Nonetheless there are some things you should know.
Initially, when will the first ice date occur? Typically, this occurs regarding two months before the first frost day. In spring, own a last ice date, consequently have a primary frost day occur. These dates fluctuate based on different facets such as latitude and longitude, season, and atmospheric circumstances that range yearly. It’s difficult to figure out an exact time because it varies so much, so it is smart to imagine very cold conditions will be possible 2 days before the initially frost particular date and three days after–assuming the area is not going to get freezing during all those two days. If the area’s temperatures doesn’t reach freezing ahead of or after many dates, then don’t agenda the first particular date.
The 1st frost schedules are going coincide when using the planting of recent growth meant for roses, fresh growth pertaining to shrubs and bushes, plus the dormant period for greenhouses. Yet , the timing for back garden greens is usually https://orderthebride.com/mexican-brides/ different. Most gardeners want the gardens to get in full bloom when the first of all frost date occurs. This is why, most landscapers wait until past due in May or early June to arrange their yard for the first frost date. Of course , if you have very tall plants (or bushes) such as thymes or tulips, you should wait until the plant features produced fresh leaves.
The first frost date is also the last daytime for greenhouses to shut down, so you will have to schedule travel at least a month ahead of time. The average green house lifespan is only thirty years, hence you’ll need to approach your garden style for at least a half of a century. On average, you’ll want to grow the following plant life: blackberries, black currants, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, peaches, apples, cherries, nectarines, grapes, black currants, bilberries, hawthorn berries, cabbage, kale, cabbage, strawberries, sweet crimson peppers, cabbage, kale, potatoes, tomato vegetables, squash, celery, and cucumbers.

For anybody who is not sure which will vegetables you may grow in your first ice date, you need to take a month or so to plan your garden and analysis which plant life will be best suited to your problems. In some areas, such as the Western, a frost is not considered “freezing” whether it does not stop the terrain, but it really does result in a ice warning. Upon having the time frame established, likely to know roughly when to plant, to should plant them, and exactly how much to produce you should get. You can utilize this appointments to pick the date that you ought to begin collection so that you know what to grow and when.
The first frost dates can be especially complicated for consumers. The prices are high and with agriculture being one of the main industries of the United States, the price of fruits and vegetables are expected to rise. Don’t let this kind of deter you from getting in on the growing trend. Study your local marketplaces and consider buying goods from other areas affected by ice to get the best discounts. | agronomy |

Hot Pepper time
So the garden has been very fruitful this year and it's time to start canning. I picked from a variety of peppers including Serrano, Jalapeno, Hungarian, Red Chili, Red Cherry and Tabasco. I made the mistake last week when we did Salsa to not wear gloves on only the Jalapeno, never again. My hands burned several hours afterward until I put cream on them.
Of course my wife had to do a little pepper humor.
And then we put it all on to cook with some other stuff in the pot and made some warm pepper relish which we love to put on a sandwich, meatloaf or use it in cooking. We ended up canning a double batch of this and of salsa the same day. Yesterday we did about a bushel of tomatoes into canned tomatoes. Later in the week we can peaches, tomato soup, tomato juice and maybe more beets. I will put a picture up of what we canned so far another time. We also froze blueberries, blackberries, red and black raspberries from the garden for my daughter to make pies this fall. | agronomy |

The minute the first frost hits in the early fall, there is a scramble to save plants and there is a huge sense of loss when you can no longer just walk into the yard and snip off your favorite fresh herbs. If you are
lucky smart enough to have your fresh herbs in pots, you can just bring those in, otherwise you can kiss them goodbye until the start of the next season.
This simple method for preserving fresh herbs is a really great way to keep the fresh flavors of your summer garden or the local farmers market – all through the fall and winter. When thawed or just heated right up from frozen, these frozen cubes work great in stews, sautés, soups, roasts and more. Besides being super helpful and functional, this project is super fun and very simple – it would be a really great and educational project to do with kids.
Regardless of how cold it gets where you live, this is such a great, money-saving way to make the most of your herbs. For me, I love this method of preserving because oftentimes I will buy a large amount of fresh herbs for a recipe that I am testing, however if there are any leftover, they tend to go bad or get sad and wilted before I can get to them again.
You can keep the herbs whole or chop them, depending on how you plan to use them. You can also create various custom herb blends with multiple types of herbs, to create your favorite blend that you know you use often in your favorite soup. Just pull out of the freezer when you are ready to use them and enjoy all winter long!
Though freezing fresh herbs, just as they are, certainly works, freezing and preserving herbs in a good quality olive oil keeps them fresher and the olive oil reduces browning and the freezer burn that can happen when you just freeze the fresh herbs, as is.

The lady, dressed in the clothes of the early 1920's and probably the farmer's wife, is proudly standing in front of 'stooks' of corn. Each stook was made of six 'sheaves' stood on end to dry with their ears still intact. Once dry, the stooks would be gathered and built into 'corn stacks' - some completed ones can be seen in the distance. The corn stacks would then be thatched to protect them from the weather.
When needed, the stack would be broken down and transported up to a barn at Octomore where there was a 'thrashing' machine to extract the grains. The straw would be fed to the cattle and much of the grain would be 'bruised' in a mill (also on the farm) and used as animal feed - particularly for the teams of horses that were the engines of their day.
Historically, much of the grain grown on Islay was used for making whisky, but by the time this photo was taken most of the barley used in distilling would be imported via coal fired steam boats called 'puffers'. Sharp eyes will pick out a puffer and its associated smudge of smoke on Loch Indaal.
Loch Indaal Distillery was evidently in full production when this photo was taken. The huge peat banks needed to fire the stills and dry the malted barley can be seen. The distillery was to close in 1929, an early victim of prohibition and the stock market crash of that year. Many of the bonded warehouses are still being used today by Bruichladdich to store our Port Charlotte and Octomore whisky. | agronomy |

This operation initiated by the ANPE for a number of years consists in designing and manufacturing large capacity incubators made in ANPE and testing them with the incubation of guinea fowl eggs or chicks, which after hatching will be made available to the actors of the poultry sector.
The operation had its first run in 2017 in Werebougou and Fombabougou, where poultry units were installed with more than 2,000 chicks and the creation of a dozen permanent jobs.
Based on this successful experience, the ANPE management undertook in September 2022 “the operation to provide electronic incubators and 1000 guinea fowl to poultry promoters registered at the ANPE. This was done during a grand ceremony at the CPR/ANPE in the presence of the Minister of National Entrepreneurship, Employment and Vocational Training, sponsor of the event, and the administrative and political authorities of the Bamako District. We also noted the presence of the beneficiaries of the said operation.
On behalf of the beneficiaries, their representative, Mr. Diaby Doucoure, promised to take good care of the guinea fowls and incubators made available and also promised to give satisfactory results within 6 months. All the interventions during this ceremony have magnified the event and show the importance of rural employment and especially the proximity employment through poultry farming.
The Director General, Ibrahim Ag NOCk, in his speech thanked all the personalities present before making history of the ANPE incubators and the first operations in Bamako, Koulikoro, Segou. He then outlined the expected results of this operation, among others:
-The beneficiaries are set up on their own account – The jobs (40) are created or consolidated – The public/private partnership is developed
The beneficiaries were called to make good use of the kits thus obtained. A monitoring and evaluation team from the ANPE will be in the field to do a close follow-up in order to minimize the risks.
Previously, the representative of the Mayor of the commune 3 of the District of Bamako, on behalf of the municipal council, welcomed the participants to the land of the commune 3 of Bamako. He also made a commitment to accompany the ANPE in this exciting activity.
The Minister DOUMBIA, sponsor of the event, said that rural employment can considerably reduce unemployment in young people and that his department will do everything possible to ensure that its technical structures work in synergy to make this job promotion activity a means of creating massive employment in rural areas. He also gave advice to the beneficiaries to take good care of the kits made available to them for a multiplier effect for the benefit of other project holders in the poultry field. The handing over of the kits by the DG /ANPE, the PCA /ANPE, and the Minister DOUMBIA ended this ceremony.

Initially from tropical Asia, this colorful, rapidly growing vine is also known as the Thomas Jefferson vine due to the fact that he grew this plant at Monticello.
Although numerous parts of this plant are edible, the dry seeds must be well cooked in two modifications of water before consuming. Raw dry seeds are dangerous.
Appearance: Intense, deep purple flowers, looking like pea or bean flowers, bloom on dark-green foliage. Clusters of sparkling purple seed pods 3 to 4 inches long follow the flowers. The vine will scramble up a trellis supplying vertical interest to a garden or topple down a slope as a ground cover.
Growing: Sow seeds in a sunny area mid to late May. The plant isn't really picky about soil and prospers with moderate watering. It's an energetic grower - one seed can produce a vine 6 to 10 feet high in a single season. The vine flowers up until frost and will bring in butterflies and hummingbirds. Clean Pro Gutters Indianapolis Chosen as a Plant Select plant for 2006, the vine is an appealing background for roses. To find out more about Plant Select, go to www.plantselect.org. | agronomy |

Gluten is prepared by centrifugation, filtering and drying of the slurry received from the primary and secondary stages of corn refining.High in protein content, it has historically been used as an animal feed. Maize Gluten meal is a non-volatile powder, and in its granular form tends to remain near where it was applied. Bread texture is affected by the amount and kind of gluten in the flour used for making the bread.
This high protein concentrate is commonly provided at minimum 60% protein. It is highly digestible, contains ME4131 K cal/kg. On D.B .for chicks and rich source of available carotene 49-72 mg/kg and xanthophylls 244-550 mg/kg.
The protein content in maize gluten inhibits formation on newly germinated seed, killing the plant. The application however must be timed in a manner that gluten is present and effective as the seed are germinating.
Maize gluten should be stored in a dry, ventilated area, free from moisture and wet surfaces. Protect against physical damage and extreme heat. Isolate from incompatible substances. | agronomy |

Well, he did use a tractor and a plough to turn over the earth, but thereafter he set out his hessian sacks and worked his way slowly along the furrows, using a fork to further loosen the earth and then picking the potatoes by hand. Needless to say, there were very few rejects. But it was, quite clearly, back-breaking work – all bending and kneeling and squatting and lifting – and it was also very time-consuming. I doubt whether the farmer’s additional work made economic sense, even if his potatoes were sold as ‘bio’ production. But it all seemed more in harmony with the surroundings than the industrial behometh we had seen at work on the 17th. My father used to grow potatoes in our London garden, and nothing tasted better than ‘new’ potatoes (as he called them), carried from the earth to the table in a matter of hours and served with butter and parsley…. | agronomy |

Ethiopia, a landlocked country detached from the sea by Somalia, Djibouti, and Eritrea, holds a population of over 96 million, most of them relying on rain-fed agriculture such as livestock and crops to sustain their basic needs for survival, including food and income.
With the unpredictable weather patterns in the country, most people, especially the government, are continuously looking for ways to build resilience and help millions of families gain easier access to food and a stable income. They are searching for ways to survive unpredictable emergencies such as the hunger crisis that happened in 2011, impacting Ethiopia as well as several other countries in the region.
Ending Food Insecurity in Ethiopia
The only instant response to food shortage in the country for over 30 years has been food aid. However, 10 years ago, a food security program was launched by the government as a means of resolving issues related to food insecurity. The Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) is a major part of a social protection program under the administration of the Ethiopian government. It has the support of the World Bank as well as numerous development partners.
The program offers support to communities, especially those in the rural areas, in rehabilitating the natural environment through effective water and soil conservation, and building vital community infrastructure, including schools, clinics, and roads. The program does more than just provide food to those who experience poverty; it actually helps revive communities.
35 million Ethiopians are subjected to abject poverty.
With the help of the program, many Ethiopians, especially those in rural areas, have been able to revive their supply of groundwater, which is enough to help their communities develop better public works programs and livelihood-based projects. These include improved management of livestock, better land reclamation, and small-scale irrigation solutions both for generating income and producing food. The result is a significant increase in cultivable land in rural areas, which has improved livelihood and supported and promoted higher crop yields.
There is still poverty and food insecurity in the country, however, and drought continues to be a very real threat to the short- and long-term survival of the Ethiopian people. We continue working toward giving people the food security they deserve. | agronomy |

But soil pH in parts of natural and semi-natural grasslands, open dunes and marshland is not yet within acceptable levels. In all ecosystems soil pH is on average slightly decreasing, which means the soils are becoming a little more acidic.
Soil pH in parts of grasslands, open dunes and marshes is unfavourable
In all ecosystems the trend is that soil pH is decreasing (becoming more acidic) across the country. When soils in natural areas become more acidic, various plant species may disappear as conditions become unsuitable for them. In about a tenth of the area of natural and semi-natural ecosystems the environmental conditions in terms of soil pH are not good. Locations where soil pH is currently moderate to bad are found mainly in natural and semi-natural grasslands, open dunes and marshland. In forests, and to a great extent in heathland, the environmental conditions in terms of soil pH are generally good.
National calculations of soil pH since 1967 show a decrease in pH of sometimes more than a whole unit, for example in the Veluwe region in the centre of the country. For the more acid sandy soils this is a considerable fall in pH and will certainly have an impact on the presence of species. Although the pH is decreasing, the soils in almost half of the area of dry heath and dry forest still have a pH of 4 or more. These pH values fall within the requirements for these ecosystem types and so conditions are still classified as 'good'. If the acidification continues, the number of sites where soil pH is too low, and therefore categorised as moderate or bad, will increase; the conditions in these areas will not be suitable enough to support the desired level of ecological quality.
The vegetation in these areas may respond to the reduction in pH at a later date, in which case the indicative values based on species composition will indicate a higher pH than the actual pH when measured.
One of the causes of acidification is nitrogen deposition. Atmospheric deposition of acidifying substances causes acidification of the soil in natural areas, leading to a decline or loss of plant and animal species in those areas. Soil acidity is also influenced by changes in hydrological conditions, for example if the flow of base-rich groundwater seepage ceases, or through the accumulation of organic matter in the humus layer. The latter occurs in marshland, especially in fens. The accumulation of organic matter (natural ageing) leads to a lower groundwater level and as a result the influence of rainwater is increased; the marsh becomes drier, nutrient poorer and slightly more acid.
Presence of plants indicative of environmental conditions
Direct measurements of soil and water can be used as indicators of changes in environmental conditions and whether or not current conditions are suitable for the sustainable conservation of ecosystems. However, the availability of such measurement data is limited. Environmental conditions can also be estimated indirectly from the presence of certain plant species and changes in species composition, because plants have specific environmental requirements. The vegetation composition found in an area is therefore indicative of the prevailing environmental conditions at site level. A complicating factor is that vegetation responds later to changes in emissions than, for example, atmospheric concentrations or soil chemistry. It is also possible that no recovery in vegetation composition is observed - and in some cases vegetation composition may even deteriorate - because environmental pollution is still too high and has not declined at all in recent years. The pH values shown here are based on indicative values based on plant species composition.
In the 'monitoring and evaluation methodology' document (van Beek et al., 2018), the provinces and conservation management organisations have set down how environmental conditions can be determined. In anticipation of the first set of monitoring data from the provinces, these and the two indicators below provide a picture of current environmental conditions. Any pronouncements about environmental conditions (good, moderate, bad) are based on comparisons between the current situation and the requirements of the characteristic vegetation types of the management types.
Policy focuses on improving environmental conditions
The Netherlands has made international commitments to meeting the goals of the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Birds and Habitats Directives (Natura 2000) and the EU Biodiversity Strategy.
To prevent the effects of eutrophication and acidification, Dutch environmental policy focuses on reducing emissions of eutrophying and acidifying substances in the Netherlands and surrounding countries. Over the last few decades, both national and international environmental policies have led to cleaner air, resulting in lower acid and nitrogen deposition on ecosystems (Buijsman et al., 2010). Over the same period, the levels of acid deposition caused by sulphur compounds have also been greatly reduced. The acidifying effect of nitrogen deposition has not been reduced, but is much less than the acidifying effect of sulphur deposition in the past. Despite the reduction in environmental pressure of acidifying deposition, a slight increase in soil acidification can be seen in all ecosystems. This is caused by the acidifying effects of nitrogen deposition, but is also partly a result of natural succession. The results achieved are not yet sufficient to halt acidification and create good conditions for the sustainable conservation of ecosystems and species.

Restoration measures to combat eutrophication and acidification
Nature restoration measures have been taken in natural areas since 1989, first under the subsidy scheme for effect-oriented measures (EGM) and in recent years under the 'quality initiative for nature and landscape' (SKNL) and the Integrated Approach to Nitrogen (PAS). In the Nature Pact (EZ, 2013) the national and provincial governments have agreed to maintain ecological quality within the national ecological network by providing a sufficient level of standard conservation management and to raise ecological quality by intensifying efforts for temporary or permanent restoration measures aimed at improving water quality and environmental conditions.
Many of the restoration measures are not only geared to removing nutrients, but also aim to combat acidification and reduced groundwater levels/desiccation. The availability of nutrients depends not only on the current deposition of nitrogen, but also on reduced water levels and the quality of surface water and groundwater. Nitrogen deposition raises the acidity of soils in natural areas, leading to the decline or disappearance of plant and animal species in those areas. Soil acidity can also be influenced by changes in hydrological conditions, such as a loss of base-rich groundwater seepage or the accumulation of organic matter in the humus layer. Acidification, eutrophication and desiccation are environmental factors that can reinforce each other.

This kind of spacing has been observed in many farms. You can apply fertilizers to your mango plants in split doses. A high density planting at 5m x 5m spacing was beneficial for establishing high density orchards on lateritic soils as well as on lateritic rocks in Konkan region (Table 5) (Dalvi et al. The fruit trees generally require very little maintenance once they have been planted and have started to fruit. High-density plantings boost returns. Planting mango should be done in the beginning of the rainy season (Monsoon season) ... Spacing. Because of the early … On dry sites, it is necessary to plant widely apart and to remove all competing ground vegetation; this increases infiltration of rainwater and decreases water losses through transpiration by plants and evaporation from the soil. During the initial stages of the growth, the mango plants should be trained in order to give the plants a proper shape. The mangoes should be planted as grafted plants are as 4 to 18 month seedlings. Mango Tree Spacing Spacing mango trees varies according to the cultivar. Start by choosing the right mango variety to plant along with the desired propagation method. Refill with topsoil and plant the trees deep enough to allow the root-ball to be covered completely with soil. In India, mango seedlings are planted from the month of July to August in a rain-fed area and in the months of February to March in an irrigated area. Control of pests and diseases, weeds and pruning of tree canopy can be carried out by machine. 6. At planting, cut leaves to reduce the total leaf surface area to reduce the rate of water loss through transpiration. When trees in the 4.5m rows start to touch remove alternate rows and alternate trees (diagonally) within the row so that those remaining are 10m apart on a triangle. But, the best time for planting mango plant is the month of July to August. Of late, the ultra high density planting systems are becoming popular among the farmers. A shortened version of the URL, helpful when communicating the URL over email or verbally. Mangoes are considered the kings of tropical fruits. For lighter soils row spacing of 10m and tree spacings of 5m are recommended. Once you have chosen your preferred mango variety and procured the seedlings, it is time to decide on the ideal spacing for your mangoes. Prior to planting, use 300g of fertiliser containing phosphorus, potassium and trace elements or well rotted animal manure. In its native southern Asia and eastern India, a mango tree may grow up to 100 feet tall and 30 feet wide. Mix the manure with the top soil and then place the mixture at the bottom of the planting holes. PDF | On Jan 31, 2015, P.M.Haldankar and others published High Density Planting in Mango Plantation | Find, read and cite all the research you need on ResearchGate Successful establishment has been achieved in these situations by having the soil well watered before planting. Mangoes can be used at any stage of its growth like you can use mangos for preparing pickles, juices, chutney, etc, when are immature or not ripen. Irrigation and fertigation are automatically controlled. The low density planting at a spacing of 10 x 10 m accommodates 100 plants/ha (40 plants/acre), the moderate density at a spacing of 7 x 7 m accommodates 204 plants/ha (82 plants/acre) and high density planting at a spacing of 5 x 5 meter accommodates 400 plants/ha … This will ensure that the remaining trees are 10m apart forming a triangle. The ripe mango fruit is commonly used in desserts and also in the preparation of a variety of fruity concoctions such as syrups, jams, jellies, squashes and jams. With the ease of modern farming technology, farmers can adopt plantation with high-density planting method and ultrahigh-density planting method. In general, traditional cultivation of mango (10.0 × 10.0 m spacing) can accommodate 100 trees ha-1 while the HDP aims at accommodating 1600, 800, 400, 266 and 178 trees ha-1. Rainwater helps the plant to fix faster. The planting time for mangoes varies from country to country. The mango spacing should be 10m by 10m in dry zones and 12m by 12m in wet zones. In mango three different methods of high density planting viz., low density, moderate density and high density planting are followed. A trial was conducted to optimize spacing for high density planting in mango cv. The first step to having mango trees that will grow more vigorously is to have your grafted mango seedlings growing under the most conducive environment. This should be applied in both young and old fruit orchards and then followed by irrigation in case there are no rains. In cold areas, frost protection will be required for young trees. However, do not irrigate the mango plants for two to three months before the flowering of the plants as too much water at this time is likely to promote vegetative growth in the plants at the expense of flowering and fruiting. The mango spacing will affect various factors in the mango growth including the growth, yield as well as the management practices in the mango orchard. In this backdrop, high-density planting system (HDP) emerged as alternative system of plantations for sustaining the fruit production level (Singh et al. HDP is helpful in obtaining high fruit yield from the same area. In India, mangoes account for 40% of the country’s total fruit exports from the country. Mango trees are a sweet, juicy and aromatic tropical delicacy but they take years to begin fruiting.

In temperate climates, mangoes should be planted in early spring in order to avoid the risk of frost. A grafted mango tree has a productive age of 40 to 50 years. This is particularly important at Kununurra and areas of similar extreme climatic conditions. Kalepad revealed that the double hedge row system of planting with a spacing of 10 m between double hedges, 5 m within double hedge and 5 m between plants in Mangoes have a short shelf life of just about 2 to 3 weeks. Fruit is borne on the ends of branches, so spacing too closely may severely limit fruit production in mature trees d… Block or high density plantings provide natural protection from wind, but avoid planting trees too close together because they will compete with each other for light, water and nutrients. The low density planting at a spacing of 10 x 10 m accommodates 100 plants/ha (40 plants/acre), the moderate density at a spacing of 7 x 7 m accommodates 204 plants/ha (82 The availability of the natural resources decides the plant population per hectare and it is estimated as follows; Planting system for … Field experiments conducted at TNAU to study the different systems of planting in mango cv. By Planting spacing of 3 meters X 3 meters, one can accommodate about more than 550 fruit plants per hectare land. With the ease of modern farming technology, farmers can adopt plantation with high-density planting method and ultrahigh-density planting method.

In an area with plenty of clay soils, you can do backfilling with sandy soils in order to prevent the formation of air pockets. The spacing of Mango trees: The planting distance is 10m. In warmer and dry weather, you can space the rows trees 4.5m or 9m apart and the spacing between the trees within the rows should be 5m. Spacing mango trees varies according to the cultivar. In mango three different methods of high density planting viz., low density, moderate . Spraying trees with kaolin (Sunstop®) has been shown to decrease the incidence of sunburn on newly planted trees. After you have done the planting, it is advisable to spread some mulching, bagasse, leaf litter or composted manure around the base of the mango trees. HIGH DENSITY PLANTING IN GUAVA: Authors: G. Singh, A.K. HDP is helpful in obtaining high fruit yield from the same area. In the subsequent weeks, you can water the mango trees at least once or twice a week. Before the mango trees begin to flower and fruit, feed them on a low-nitrogen plant food that will boost the blossoms and encourage flowering. Ploughing the area once or twice is suggested followed by two to three harrowings to pulverize and expose the soil completely. High Density Planting vs. Cashflow break even reached sooner.

In Australia, it is generally from the month of April to October. Higher and quality production is achieved from densely planted orchards through judicious canopy management and adoption of suitable tree training systems. of "Tommy Atkins" mango trees planted at various spac-ings (data supplied by T.F. Tree spacing will determine how many trees will be needed. Before flowering, it is recommended that you do foliar applications of 3% urea where the soil is sandy. Mango Drip Fertigation To Increase The Productivity Of Kesar Mango *, ultra high density planting system in mango drip fertigation to increase the productivity of kesar mango paperback january 11 2017 by sandip makhmale author an makwana editor rs chovatia editor see all formats and editions Planting Density and Method. There are certain mango varieties that can withstand lower storage temperatures such as 10 degree Celsius. Mangoes don’t generally do well in cooler weather as the cold temperatures restrict the growth of the fruit trees so in this kind of climate, you can afford to do high density plantings with spacing of between 2.5m to 3.5m. Post harvest handling of mangoes involves steps such as the preparation, grading, washing, drying, waxing the mangoes, packing, pre-cooling the mangoes, palletisation and finally, the transportation of the mango fruits to the market. Less vigorous varieties such as Irwin may be planted at a higher density. High density planting in mango cv. The fruit should be packed in a single layer with each carton containing 8 to fruits. A ield experiment was conducted at NARP, Ganeshkhind, during 1992 to 2013 to study high density planting of mango variety Kesar. Not only will this help in preserving the moisture in the soil, it will also hinder weed growth. However, if plant seeding trees, they may take up to 10 years before they begin bearing fruits. Key words: High density, Planting system, Bedge row, Double hedge row, Paired planting, Square system In general, planting distance of 10-12 m has been recommended depending on the variety and tree vigour of Research is on to study the ultra high density system of planting using compact varieties, dwarfing rootstocks and chemical retardants. The major production areas for blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry plants in high density plantings and tunnel growing (growing in greenhouses) are located in latitudes in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres at 27 degrees latitude to north and south to Mango planted Irv The trees allow to have only an at spacing of3 m :< 2 m (Alphanso, Kesar average and balance load of fruits and Keitt] or 2.5 m >< 2.5 m (Amrapali, through training and pruning and Mallika, Ratna, etc.] Alphonso N.V. Dalvi, B.R. In mango three different methods of high density planting viz., low density, moderate density and high density planting are followed. Before you plant the mango seedlings, you should use 300g of fertilizer that contains phosphorous, potassium as well as trace elements. The Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, popularly known as TNAU launched a 1.5 acre demonstration plot on Ultra High Density Planting or UHDP in Mango at the College Orchard of Horticultural College &Research Institute. High density planting technique is a modern method of litchi cultivation involving planting of litchi trees densely, allowing small or dwarf trees with modified canopy for better light interception and distribution and ease of mechanised field operations. Research is on to study the ultra high density system of planting using compact varieties, dwarfing rootstocks and chemical retardants. If the trees are grown up, you can water them at intervals of 10 to 15 days from the time of the fruit set to maturity. It … Ultra High Density Mango (UHD) planting complete! In today’s markets, many “new” cultivars are selling for 4-5 times the price of standard cultivars. At Carnarvon, space the rows 4.5m or 9m apart and the trees 5m apart within the rows. The next important step is to decide on the tree spacing. The kind of spacing that you choose for your mangoes will determine how productive they will be. Establishing a healthy and productive orchard requires planning and preparation. Alphonso to obtain higher yield/unit area at the Agriculture Research Station, Mulde, during 2006-07 to 2008-09 with four close spacings and one normal spacing as control. In the subsequent years, the yield will increase to 50 to 75 fruits (10 to 15kg) and by the tenth year, the trees will be yielding 500 fruits (100kg) per tree. Planting high density hedge rows in Carnarvon has proved successful in attaining very high yields, however this system does require additional capital outlay to establish and manage. On Cununurra clay (in Kununurra) back-filling with sand will prevent air pockets. The fruits should be cooled as soon as possible to a low storage temperature of about 13 degrees Celsius. In the Kimberley, the best planting time is May to August. 3 Ps: Mantra for maximizing mango yield under high-density planting system Mango is the most important fruit crop of India in terms of acreage, genetic diver-sity, consumers’ preference and market potential. The mango trees mostly do well in the tropics with warmer or hotter climates. Intensification of tropical tree crops is a new and expanding area of research in Australia and overseas. The spacing grid we followed was 3m x 3m. Mangoes are also nutritious, being rich in both vitamins A and C. The mango tree is generally hardy in nature and will do well even in the most arid of areas. Planting in January/February is another good planting time and should coincide with the arrival of the monsoonal rains. The Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, popularly known as TNAU launched a 1.5 acre demonstration plot on Ultra High Density Planting or UHDP in Mango at the College Orchard of Horticultural College &Research Institute. Proper tree forms, branch angle and limb spacing in themselves aid in growth control. The start of bearing age will be between three to four years. The spacing varies from 10 X 10 M to 13 X 13 M. In dry areas, the spacing should be 10 X 10 M because of less growth. Ideally, trees should be sun-hardened before planting. If plants are established on trickle irrigation, black polyethylene mulch will help reduce water requirements and control weeds. Less vigorous mango varieties can be planted with higher densities. The first half should be applied immediately after the harvesting of the fruits around June or July while the other half should be applied around October. After 10-11 years, ¾ of the canopy of trees in the high density orchard needs to be dehorned to present interlocking of branches. Planting mango must be done in the beginning of the rainy season. You can also do some mulching around the base of the roots using organic materials like compost. And after ripening of mango fruits, they can be used in … Don’t use fresh manure! Available information suggest that the concept of high density planting in mango took viz., Amrapali at IARI, New Delhi (Majumdar et al., 1982) . Make sure that you meet the nutrient and water requirements of the intercrops separately. This will reduce the risk of the plants getting sunburned when they are transplanted to the farm. Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development's Agriculture and Food division is committed to growing and protecting WA's agriculture and food sector. Planting density showed a strong influence on leaf sugar content. Currently, India is the largest mango producer in the world, accounting for 60% of the total mango output. density and high density planting are followed. However, when spacing is manipulated, it should be kept in mind to use with in raw spacing to adjust plant density. At Broome, where conditions are less extreme, mangoes may be planted all year round. The best way to have your mango trees grow faster is by planting grafted mango trees that generally grow faster and begin fruiting at a faster rate than mango trees that are grown from seeds that will take anywhere from 8 to 10 years before they begin flowering and fruiting. under ultra high density planting the spacing of the mango trees is 3m introducing drip fertigation it is possible to increase the yield potential of vegetable crops by three fold with the same quantity of water all these emphasize the need for water conservation improvement in productivity and resource use efficiency to achieve in vegetable crops keywords drip fertigation vegetable crops use efficiency a field … The demand for mango fruit is growing annually and the requirement is productivity of mango in the country. Vegetative propagation is usually preferred by many mango producers. If the soils are sandy or tree dwarfing methods such as regular pruning or use of chemical growth retardants are to be used, high density planting may be done with narrower spacing. This is usually required in cases where the graft has branched too low. Five mango varieties (Baneshan, Totapuri, Suvernarekha, Alphonso and Cherukurasam) and two mango hybrids (Mallika and Neeleshan) were evaluated and data on various growth parameters like tree … In our mango farming manual and subsequent articles, we will offer you a guideline on how to train grafted mangoes. 2007). You must first select a mango variety and then its propagation method. earning. The veneer grafted Dashehari plants prepared on seedling rootstock in July 1975 were planted in August, 1976 at two densities: 12m x 12m (69 … These have major advantages over seed propagation as we shall see shortly. x 12m. This will help retain the moisture around the roots of the trees while keeping the weeds away. Spacing for Mango Farming . Make sure that you water the new mango trees are watered at least two or three times a week during the first week of planting, by flooding the area around the trunk of the mango tree. Mangoes have a delicious taste, an excellent flavor and very nice fragrance. When the tree hits 20 to 40 years, it will bear anywhere from 1000 to 3000 (200kg to 600kg) fruits in an on year. One of the strategies to achieve this is by adopting high density planting, to increase the productivity per unit area. By Planting spacing of 3 meters X 3 meters, one can accommodate about more than 550 fruit plants per hectare land. Salvi, S.A. Chavan and M.P. This will help in cutting down on the water loss through the process of transpiration. When planting the mango seedlings, you can cut the leaves in order to minimize the total surface area of the leaf. A trial was conducted to optimize spacing for high density planting in mango cv. Jain Farms to take ultra-high-density mango planting to TN, Karnataka. Mango Tree Spacing. This will determine how many trees you need and how productive the orchard will become. However, you should avoid planting the mango trees too close together as they will compete with one another for the nutrients, water and light and this may impede their growth. Author Affiliation : Horticultural Research Station (T.N.A.U. The grafted mango of Dashehari prepared on mango seedling rootstock in July 1999 were planted at Horticulture Section in August, 2000 at two spacing viz., 10m × 10m (100 plants/ha-normal density) and 3.0m × 3.0 (1111 plants/ha-high density). High Density Planting System Recently, mango orchards are being established at closer than conventional spacing in many parts of India. It is always better to have 10 meters of inter raw spacing to facilitate orchard management practices … Alphonso was conducted in three year old orchard at Regional Horticulture Research and Extension center, Dharwad (University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot) during April, 2013 to May, 2015, to study the effect of plant density, mulching, time of pruning and use of paclobutrazol on growth, yield and quality … However, this may not be practical if you are doing larger plantings.

Earlier in the week, I made a special trip to a local farm stand for the tomatoes – perfect, round, bright red. I used to grow my own. But the longer I live here, the taller the trees become and the less sunlight there is to grow much of anything edible. (Not that I ever had a green thumb – If you know me at all, you know that’s true.) My mom always grew beautiful tomatoes. So did Grampa Wilson. But they’re both gone now. So, I buy them.
It’s the only time you’ll catch me eating white bread. Nothing else will do. Real mayonnaise. Lots of salt & pepper. I’m going to hell, but it’s worth it. I ate two of them. There was a napkin tucked into the neckline of my Tom Brady jersey to catch the juice that exploded out of the tomato slices. Heavenly!
The growing season for fresh produce is too short in southern New England. While I was at the farm, I picked up some corn on the cob. In a few weeks, that, too, will be but a memory. I made corn chowder – another seasonal favorite that brings comfort. Just like Mom used to make. Well, sort of. I never have been able to follow a recipe without a little creative free-styling.
In addition to my traditional culinary favorites, I added something new this year. Friends Deb & Ray invited me for dinner recently and served a delicious baked summer squash casserole. A few days later, my best friend of 54 years, Eileen, came to visit. She brought me two big squashes from her garden. Coincidence? I think not.
One of the ways I take care of myself is by eating mostly real food that is both nutritious and delicious. Occasionally, I make allowances for foods that comfort me, either because of childhood associations or seasonal celebrations. These are some of my favorite late-summer treats. Only the squash dish required the oven, for which I am thankful, since summer’s humidity is hanging on.
As the weather turns cooler, my oven will be seeing more action. The scent of baked apple crisp will soon fill my kitchen. I can hardly wait!

Carpinteria High School in Santa Barbara County, California has developed a healthy food program that started with an organic garden. The students quickly embraced the garden and the program has continued to grow. The school’s horticulture class tends the garden every couple of days, the veterinary science students contribute their stable sweepings to the compost pile, the culinary class uses the food grown in the garden as does the cafeteria where lunch is prepared daily using the fresh organic produce.
The garden was started with the support of Carpinteria Unified School District Superintendent Paul Cordeiro who believes that health and education are related, and that garden and culinary classes play an important role in the quality of student’s lives. Carpinteria’s healthy food program continues to grow with plans for a new culinary kitchen where adult classes will also be offered and an on-campus community garden made available to families. | agronomy |

But she must have taken pity of us farmers and blessed us a beautiful year of “normal” weather.
We had a slightly early spring and the weather continued to be moderate though out the summer. This gave us all the time we needed to go though the vineyard to tuck our canes, sucker our trunks and watch the plants for dehydration.
September and October had just the right amount of heat spikes to push our grapes to full maturity. Just a few of our Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc blocks still had fruit when the first rain came in. Luckily it was just enough perspiration to settle the dust for us to get in there and pick the grapes. The harvest was bountiful, blessing us with a slightly heavier than excepted crop load. | agronomy |

The restoration program aims to provide assistance to coastal communities in preserving mangrove forests and at the same time provide knowledge to the community about the importance of mangroves and the benefits that can be obtained from mangrove plants, so that mangroves can also help improve the socio-economic development of the community. The data collection techniques used in research are observation, interviews and documentation. The data analysis technique used in this research is descriptive qualitative, used to analyze and systematically process facts obtained from the field assisted by frequency tables. The limit of this research especially analyzed the effects of the socio-economy. The economic impact cannot be separated from activities involving the community starting from clearing land, searching for seeds, nurseries, planting and maintenance. The amount of work done by group members determines the results or income they will obtain. From the results of the data in the field, apart from the social impact that fosters concern for mangrove preservation and mutual cooperation created from togetherness in groups, it can also be seen that the influence of restoration activities on the economy is the involvement of farmer group members, most of whom are involved in seeding and planting. Work is carried out in groups, especially for planting. If you look at the highest income obtained from restoration activities, it is around IDR 401,000 – IDR 500,000 per activity and this is only obtained by 1 person (head of the farmer group), and the majority earn IDR 201,000 – IDR 300,000 (43.47%).

Eating seasonally essentially means buying and cooking foods that have been grown and harvested within the same season. And if you are picturing the endless pumpkin spice products you find at Trader Joe's every autumn, you are not wrong. But eating seasonally is more than buying themed products, it is the way our ancestors ate, and it is what connected their environments to. In the fall, acorns, root vegetables, and other starchy foods sustain our bodies, while leafy greens and seeds in the springtime give us energy. Similarly, fruits and berries give us sugar, vitamin c, and antioxidants in the summer.
For many of us, time doesn't seem to pass quite the same in quarantine, but staying in tune with the changing seasons and connecting to the foods that are ripening now is a great way to enjoy what this time of year has to offer. This is a great opportunity to start paying attention to the food we buy and where we buy it.
You can start integrating seasonal items into your grocery list by checking out your local farmers market, food co-op, or support a local farm by signing up for a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project. Find a Certified Farmers' Market near you. You can also try growing your own produce in a small garden.
By taking steps to eat seasonally available products, you can receive the highest nutritional value from your food, while supporting local farmers, and reducing your carbon footprint. It will also taste much better!
Ultimately, mending these connections to our food source will allow us to pay more attention to the cycles of earth and appreciate her seasonal bounty!

Hear What Our Farmers Say
"Grower's Secret, thank you for introducing me to your Grower's Secret Nitrogen. I started using it last December and WOW. Really WOW! I grow lavender from cuttings and from the propagation to 3" and to 1 gallon, you can see the difference. Lavender doesn't need much to start with, but during propagation you can see a difference in the roots. In the 3" and 1 gallon, the appearance and color was spectacular (that's what my customers said). Thanks again for a great product."
-Gordon Knight, Tumalo Lavendar, OR
"We have been using Growers Secret products for the past year and have decided to write this testimonial because it is important to get the word out that this company is one of the best we have ever dealt with. We are using the Nitrogen and Seaweed powders and we are having the best results we have ever had with our plant health and blooming this year after changing to Growers Secret. In addition - this company has been there for us 24/7 and answered many questions with regards to plant growth and development. We order product and get it usually within 48 hours after we order it. We could not be happier with the product and customer support! Thanks Growers Secret for being there for us."

"I have been using the Grower's Secret products for a couple of years now after meeting my neighbor, Kim Miller. I use the products on my golf course putting greens, primarily in the summer months when plant performance stress is at its maximum. I have found a high level of safety and security using the Grower's Secret products during the heat of summer. This is also the time when golfer traffic is at its peak and everything has to be perfect. Delivering high quality putting surfaces is my job and the Grower's Secret products are a part of that strategy."

This style of garden is best suited to those with plenty of time to maintain and make it thrive with frequent planting, pruning, watering and fertilising. Imagine hordes of bright, colourful flowers set against lush green foliage, sprawled across terracotta garden pots and garden beds, climbing the walls, and spilling out on to a brick pathway running through the centre. Throughout the seasons, the English Cottage Garden changes its dynamics and continues to surprise and delight. Different plants bloom at different times of the year, always keeping you intrigued and wondering what will come next.
This type of garden is great for cutting flowers for vases, and will mean you never have an empty vase in the house. This is not a low maintenance garden, however it is charming and always rewarding. Typically, an English Cottage Garden will feature lots of green, with herbs, shrubs and plants covering every available space. Garden beds will be brimming with colourful flowers and plants, with seasonal bulbs and annuals producing flower and bloom all year round.
Traditionally vegetables and herbs are grown to provide practical use in the kitchen. A brick pathway can lead to a particular area in the garden or create a feature section, and roses and climbers can be wound around lattice fences and garden arches to create the effect of flowers blooming at every level.
Consider completing the English Cottage Garden by incorporating a quaint outdoor table setting, perfect for sitting and drinking tea. This style of garden can work for any property size, but it is much more effective with small or medium gardens which can be crammed with as many flowers and plants as possible. Across bigger spaces, arrange garden beds into particular colour groups and break it up with lush green grass.
Amazing canopy trees such as liquidambars and jacarandas will also add some green, as well as small to medium trees like crab apples and crepe myrtles. A cluster of terracotta pots or wooden garden boxes can be used as a feature, containing flower combinations or vegetables patches.
At Diaco’s, we can help keep your vegetable patches nourished and healthy with garden supply products such as quality mulch and good premium blended soil. | agronomy |

Save water from a rainy day: Free rain sensors and instructions on how to construct a rain barrel.
On June 19th, 2009 HSWCD held a rain barrel/water conservation workshop.
The Highlands County Extension Office – Master Gardeners and the Highlands Soil and Water Conservation District
all teamed up to put on a rainy workshop. Attendees to this workshop learned how to make a rain barrel,
ways to keep the costs down regarding irrigation, and found new ways to conserve water around the home,
and they received a free rain sensor.
Dee Dee Jacobson presented ways to save money on irrigation costs by simple steps
than can be applied at home. Corine Burgess demonstrated ways to conserve water
around the house both inside and outside.
Ed Ayen, Master Gardener, demonstrated how to construct a rain barrel.
Those who signed up constructed their own rain barrels on site and took them home.
We all know that when it rains, it pours; and with a rain barrel, all that rainwater can be saved. Saving your rain water is important because residential irrigation can account for about 40% of residential water use. By collecting rain water and storing it in a rain barrel you'll have water for future use, whether it's for watering the garden or just keeping it handy for emergency situations.
With rain water being one of the most abundant and available natural resources, the collection of it is an efficient way to cut down the cost of water usage in the household and help alleviate the burden of water shortages. Strategic placement of a rain barrel underneath the gutters of your home can provide a barrel full of rain water in a downpour, which in turn can be used in practical ways such as watering your flowers and garden or even washing your car. By saving rain water you will significantly reduce the amount of water your previously used from your garden hose. Also rain water is a more pure and fresh source of water for your plants.
So, we’ve established that it is good to save rain water with a rain barrel. But how about saving irrigation water because it is raining? Rain sensors are designed to determine if enough rainfall has occurred in order to skip an irrigation cycle. This keeps your system from over watering your lawn. The electrical connection between the sensor and your sprinkler system controller is interrupted when a certain amount of rain triggers the device. The sensor breaks the electrical connection so that electricity cannot flow to either the sprinkler valves or to a pump start.
Rain sensors can benefit you, the homeowner, in many ways. They save you money. Whether you pay for city water or spend electricity running a pump, the money you save over time will more than pay for the rain sensor. They also extend sprinkler system life span. Irrigation systems are made up of moving parts. If the system parts are utilized less frequently (during the rainy season), they last longer. They will also protect water resources. By limiting the over use of your sprinkler system, rain sensors reduce excess water run-off that carries fertilizers and pest control chemicals into our shared water supply. | agronomy |

Using recycled railway sleepers – these solid pine sleepers have great character and are well weathered. We’d looked for oak sleepers but they were elusive and after waiting for weeks we finally opted for the pine. The sleepers were sourced from Europe and delivered by Roskam Farm Enterprises near Tuamgraney. Jan Roskam was very good to deal with and I’d recommend him. They are fairly hefty 2.6m x 0.25m x 0.15m and took a fair bit of manhandling to cut, set and fix them in place.
We’ve got spuds, tomatoes, strawberries, courgette, squash, salad leaves and rhubarb underway and a few more beds to plant over the summer .. looking forward to a few fresh veggies in the months to come. | agronomy |

The new rice ceremony is the biggest event of all. After harvesting and stockpiling rice in warehouses, the Raglai organize a ritual to thank the heaven God, genies, and ancestors for blessing them with a bumper crop.
The Raglai believe that there are several genies in nature and the heaven god, the supernatural power, is the rice soul who influences production and people’s life. During a new rice ceremony, people welcome the Heaven God or the rice soul from the terraced fields to celebrate Tet with them and pray them for a better new year. Old Raglai people say the time-honored ritual shows their gratitude toward the rice soul for reproduction and food.
Mau Quoc Tien, a researcher of Raglai culture says: “Raglai people depend greatly on agricultural production and the new rice ceremony is an indispensable ritual in their life. They pray the genies for favorable weather and good harvest. A ceremony is organized for the extended family to show their gratitude to other villagers for helping them grow and harvest rice.”
The Raglai organize the new rice ceremony in the 3rd or 4th lunar month when the first peal of thunder signals the beginning of summer.
Men make a Neu tree and repair their stilt house and altar to welcome their ancestors. Women prepare an offering which must include chicken, rice, corn, betel leaves, areca nuts, and alcohol. The shaman practices the ritual under the Neu tree, which is considered the house of the rice soul. He thanks the Heaven God for blessing people with good health and sufficient food and invites the god to enjoy the offerings. After praying, all family members drink the offering wine together as a gift from god for good health and happiness.
The festival follows the worshiping ceremony. People drink wine from vases, sing, and play Ma La gongs through the night. Patriarch Mang Khe says all clans organize a new rice ceremony. “Each family organizes a ceremony and invites all the villagers to join. They pray for good results in whatever they grow. We show our gratitude to our ancestors and they give us food.”
The ceremony is an opportunity for all villagers to make beautiful Neu trees, cook rice in bamboo tubes, distill wine in vases, compete at shooting a crossbow, and play musical instruments, and for relatives to get together and resolve all their differences. | agronomy |

This cold-resistant banana is one of our most interesting new products in the last years. It exists in the South Eastern Himalaya up to a height of 2000 m and is a large variety, whose reddish trunk reaches 4,5 m in height and 45 cm diameter. Fresh shoots and sometimes mature leaves are of reddish color or pattern. This variety produces edible, sweet fruit, which contain, however, plenty of seeds. To keep this plant outdoors throughout the winter, the roots have to be protected from frost. For this you can use a large box, filled with leaves and straw and plastic foil to guard against rain.
