Mark Waldrip of Moro, owner of East Arkansas Seeds, Inc. and Armor Seed LLC, and a member of the University of Arkansas (UA) Board of Trustees introduced Dr. Mark Cochran, UA vice-president for Agriculture, at the UA RREC Foundation Seed Facility, by saying, “Mark was never put off in putting this project together.”
Speaking to a crowded room at the UA RREC, Dr. Cochran told the audience, “It was time to bring seed processing into the century for one of the nation’s leading agricultural states. It was time to replace something from the 1950s.” He was speaking about the age of the original seed facility in this division.

In the prior days of waxing to full, the fullness, and these 3+ days of the strength of this Moon, I imagine you have been honoring and celebrating the blessings, harvests, and the journeys along your path.
In the Southern Hemisphere, it is Spring Equinox, Ostara. Our Sistars across the wheel, feel the energies for the planting of seeds, the delight in first emergence, and the signals of dreams to come to fruition in the coming cycles.
Together we sit at the Equinox (1:44pm Pacific), a point of balance of Light and Dark. In the South the turning brings an increase of Light. Here, in the North, the turning is into the season of the Dark. The hemispheres are reflections on the wheel, the Yin and Yang of energies and movements and place.
As I sit at this time in the North and celebrate the harvest, I also reflect on what grew well; what may need more space; what needs to be transplanted; what needs more careful tending; what I will plant again and what I will no longer plant.
In the next days as the moon wanes and the dark begins to deepen, I will be making ways for the coming year. I will be picking the last blooms of the season; clearing the vines that have delivered their bounty; trimming back that which needs trimming to ensure a concentration of energies to come; composting that which will feed again. The soil will be turned, the mulch laid to blanket the roots, the worms, and the cases of ladybug and butterfly.
This is the season time for making the Bed of Dreams.
Remember that time before you were born in this world, before you were even seeded in the womb of your mother? That time before even the first spark of seed was created? Remember…
That is the coming time here in the Northern hemisphere as we move into the dark of the wheel. Yes, this Harvest Moon and Equinox we celebrate the Harvest. And with the turning of the wheel, comes now the time for returning those things that have been expended, back to the earth to recycle, or into the winds to be scattered. Time to lay on protective mulch to protect the beds that will seed new life and new joys in the future.
As the wheel turns, now both Moon and Sun waning, we honor our Blessings and prepare for the Dreamings. Beautiful beds make for beauty-full dreams.
Consider, in what kind of bed do you want to dream your dreams? What do you want your bed of dreams to look like? What spark do you want to mark the return of Light at Winter Solstice?What seeds to you want to create and empower for planting in spring? What do you want to see unfurl? What dreams do you want to mana-fest? Delve into this wondering…
This is the imagining and preparing time. For preparing the future manifesting of the New Dream. It is time for nourishing the dream imagined. For making the Bed in which the Dream will be planted. Dreams are what Life is made of, and beautiful dreams make beautiful lives.
Go deep child of Wonder, and deeper still. Feed the land in which the dream will root in the next turning of the spiral. Prepare your bed for dreaming into being the Sweetness and Joy of your next Dance in the Spiral.
Nurture your Nature,
Much Love and Light,

Last fall, Fonder conducted an experiment in his South Dakota backyard. He built a squirrel feeder and put genetically modified corn fresh from a neighbor’s field on one post and one-year-old organic corn on the other.
“You would expect squirrels to prefer fresh corn over corn that’s a year old,” said Fonder. But that’s not what happened.
Fonder repeated the experiment five times, using different varieties of organic and GM corn. Each time, he got the same results.
Do you think that it’s possible the squirrels might be on to something here?
If you want to see GMOs labeled in the United States, like they are in the picture, then here’s some good news. Labeling efforts are underway in 26 states, and in November voters in the state of Washington will have the opportunity to make their state the first in the nation to mandate labeling without condition.
Public interest lawyer and Food Revolution Summit speaker Michele Simon has written a new post with an update on important developments in Washington’s Initiative 522, and how you can help.
The farmer said, “The first corn is genetically engineered. They won’t touch it.”
It’s not just pigs that swear off genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In South Africa, Strilli Oppenheimer’s chickens won’t eat genetically modified (GM) corn. Most buffalo in Haryana, India, refuse cottonseed cakes if made from GM cotton plants. Geese migrating through Illinois only munched sections of the soybean field that was non-GMO. When given a choice, elk, deer, raccoons, and rats all avoided GMOs.
…One skeptical farmer who read about the squirrels wanted to see for himself if it was true. He bought a bag full of GM corn ears, and another of non-GM, and left them in his garage till winter. But by the time he fetched the bags, mice had done the experiment for him. They broke into the natural corn bag and finished it; the GM cobs were untouched. | agronomy |

When you want to make small changes, do things differently. When you want to make big changes, see things differently. Or so an esoteric old-timer told his young farming neighbour. As we began to think about long term plans for our farm, our understanding of sustainable agriculture made us see the countryside around us in a new light.
British wildlife is vanishing, not because we paved paradise, as only 6% of the UK is built on (but complete respect for Joni Mitchell). Our wildlife is disappearing, because it is barely able to cling on to the scraps left behind by modern farming practises. By maintaining grassland for one or two species like the dairy cow and woolly ewe, by ploughing in monocultures for animal feed, by spraying the land with an ever increasing cocktail of chemicals, there is little life left in our fields. Viewed through the prism of biodiveristy, modern British farms are effectively rural deserts with a couple of species growing where there use to be hundreds flourishing. We are determined to ensure that our farm is full of life. | agronomy |

It starts with natural and proprietary strains of hemp grown on USDA certified organic farms, right here in the USA. These strains are grown in nutrient-rich soil and are high in CBD. Under strict guidelines, our farmers follow organic farming processes to ensure quality, potency and consistency.
Hemp Flower Processing
After harvest and the plants are dried. The hemp flowers are removed and stored in a temp controlled environment until put through a milling process. To achieve our goal of providing the highest quality CBD oil possible, we do not use seeds, stems, stalks or leaves!
Using a proprietary extraction process certified by the USDA, the oil is extracted from the organic milled hemp and put through a series of purification processes leaving us with an amazing organic CBD oil that is free from any fats, waxes, pesticides, or solvents.
In order to produce our broad spectrum oil, the THC needs to be removed. This is done by utilizing a proprietary chromatography process certified organic by the USDA. Our broad spectrum products contain 0.0% THC and this is shown on our lab reports.
All of our products are manufactured in a registered FDA facility that follows cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations) and is USDA certified organic.
3rd Party Lab Testing
Every single batch produced goes through stringent third-party lab testing at an ISO certified lab. Every product has a QR code that links directly to the lab reports for the raw oil used as well as testing on the finished product. These test results are comprehensive covering microbial (yeast, E. Coli, mold), heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, and mercury) as well as pesticides (60) and solvents.
Proprietary Nanoemulsion Technology
The oil used in our nano softgels goes through an additional proprietary process transforming it into nano-sized, water-soluble particles. This leads to greater bioavailability and efficacy. | agronomy |

Bacteria move though it at rates measured in centimeters per year. The world of soil is ancient and magical, contradictory and complex. Mostly solid and opaque to light, still it acts as a sea to thousands of species that travel through it horizontally and vertically. It is the biological filter that detoxifies a large proportion of the poisons that are applied to the environment. One gram of ordinary farmyard soil can contain over one billion individual bacteria. One gram of ordinary farmyard soil can contain over 100 million individual actinomycetes. One gram of ordinary farmyard soil can contain over one kilometer of fungal hyphae. One gram of ordinary farmyard soil can contain plants like algae And animals like collembolides, nematodes and worms. To sustain modern economies Agricultural soils need to attain high levels of organic matter and nutrients But agricultural soils bring subtle changes to the native soil ecosystems And as the levels of both nutrients and disturbances increase The number of native species decreases.
Consider the dynamism of healthy soil Consider that soil covers most of the land surface of the planet Consider that soil plays a fundamental role in stabilizing the biosphere Consider that new soil formation has been arrested in many places. Healthy soil is a living system Healthy soil needs to interact with the air and water Healthy soil needs access to the products of the plants and other surface organisms.
Therefore; tape this piece of paper on every bulldozer you encounter.

Hercules was the first one who planted it in Olympia. Hercules was also the founder of "athletics" and "Olympic games" where the winners were crowned with an olive oil twig which was planted by him.
From this kind of wild olive tree and 100% self-shown trees, the wild olive oil is taken out in the mountainous area of Olympia Centaurus Groves.
The picking of this product is traditionally done by hand when the kernel is still unripe. The wild olive oil is produced the same day of picking by pressing the olives mildly without the intervention of hot water and it is full of aromas and silky texture.
For all these reasons it is rare and in a little quantity. Apart from its least acidity, it is also rich in Ω3 and Ω6. In addition, it has a higher percentage in oleuropein which gives it antioxidant properties -Oleocanthal and Oleacein within inflammatory, antioxidant cardiovascular, and neurological action.
Furthermore, it has all the necessary characteristics to delight the palate and beautify and enhance the complexion.The product is disposed to export. | agronomy |

The HNV-Link Network held its first meeting in Montpellier, France on the 1-2 of September. 32 people from all 11 partner countries attended.
The meeting was above all a methodological seminar that allowed HNV-Link partners to discuss, adjust and validate the methodology for two key work packages. How to build a common understanding of describing and assessing the baseline situation of the 10 Learning Areas and to establish what HNV innovation is and how to collect information on relevant examples. The latter task seems to be essential since the literature survey on innovations in HNV farmland areas or relevant for HNV farming systems produced very few results (report will be available on the website by the end of the year).
The meeting also allowed sharing first experiences of the partners in the project, and present preliminary results of work so far. From its launch just three months ago, the project yielded 37 media pieces, including articles in farmer magazines, on radio and through EU-communication channels. A launching event in Croatia was great success. Burren - a project area in Ireland - host a visit from the European Commissioner for Agriculture, Phil Hogan. The project is gradually becoming known also on social networks. The participants engaged in a small workshop in identifying potential HNV actors and on communication and dissemination activities that can best reach them as well the general public.
The partners also critically assessed opportunities to engage with a revised system of agricultural advisory in the EU - the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS; link to www.proakis.eu). The general feeling was that AKIS, though being an important development in the delivery of advisory to farmers across the EU, has little to offer to actors in HNV farmlands. Although HNV farmland regions present a considerable portion of rural fabric, they are still poorly reached by agricultural and rural development advisory, education and research. It was felt that the project could bring out these concerns to the EU level. On the other hand, several partners shared successful experiences of engagement with advisory on local and regional levels.
HNV farming areas are an important component of European agriculture not only for their natural values but also for cultural heritage and quality products. This became evident also in Montpellier: an important part of the meeting was getting to know all the partners, not least through tasting of local products from most of the project Learning Areas. During the two days in Montpellier the diversity and richness of HNV farmlands was really made tangible!
The partnership expresses warmest thanks to the Learning Area of Causses & Cévennes for hospitality and informative touring of its environs.

Raising healthy kids is a full-time job- from understanding development to communication to relationship building and everything in between. In this series, we will talk about healthy practices that parents can incorporate into their daily routines to further encourage overall health and wellness for our children.
The Veggie Struggle
Eating a well-balanced diet, packed with nutritious fruits and vegetables is crucial to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. So much of our wellness begins with the foods that we eat. A balanced diet helps with brain functioning, boosts the immune system, encourages better concentration, as well as a number of other long-term health benefits. It’s no secret that a healthy diet is important, but convincing children to eat healthy foods is another story. Children are notorious for refusing their veggies and reaching instead for sweet, processed treats.
Start a Home Garden
If you are a parent struggling to find ways to encourage your child to eat more vegetables, gardening can be a helpful tool. Gardening is a great way to help children become more comfortable with the idea of eating a scary big green stalk of broccoli or a bright red tomato. If a child knows where the vegetable comes from and is involved in the growing process, they are much more likely to want to eat it. Gardening gives you the opportunity to introduce new vegetables into your child’s diet, allowing them to try new foods and train their taste buds to enjoy produce.
Starting a garden doesn’t have to be overwhelming. If you are new to gardening, start small. Squash, herbs, and radishes are low maintenance, high producing plants and are great options to begin with. If you don’t have much room, container gardens are a perfect idea! Teach and involve your child from start to finish. Explain that plants grow from a seed and let them help you plant them in the dirt. Every child loves dirt and learning why worms are important is an added bonus! Include some science when teaching that plants need dirt, water, and sunlight in order to grow. Have them take part by watering the plants each day and harvesting their crops when it’s time. This is also a good time to check out gardening books from the library. You could also visit a local farmers market to meet farmers in person and explore more about growing in your area.
Gardening is not only good for helping children become more comfortable with the vegetables they are eating, but it also incorporates a wealth of learning opportunities, physical exercise, and sunshine for everyone involved! Don’t forget about all of the extra quality time you’ll spend together and memories that you will make along the way. Now that you know all of these potential benefits that come from starting a garden with your child, you might as well dig in and get your hands dirty!

Later, in the same essay, she talked about growing up on a ranch. This caused considerable consternation in the workshop. “You can’t use those words interchangeably,” people said. “It’s a farm or it’s a ranch. You need to figure out which one it is and only use the one word.” It’s remarkable how often people can be technically accurate and yet so incredibly wrong.
A ranch focuses on the production of livestock. Cows, sheep, horses. A ranch can grow crops, but mostly to feed the livestock. Even if a ranch grows non-feed crops, the focus is on the livestock. In contrast, a farmer grows crops. In Montana, wheat and barley are the crops of choice, but Montana farmers also grow peas, lentils, sugar beets, corn, oats, potatoes, and other plants. I suppose that a farm could be an (almost) exclusive hay farm, if the hay was for sale. Ranch=animals, farm=plants. Pretty straight forward. Except when it’s not.
What if someone owns six sections of land, and they use three of those sections for dry-land grain production and three for cattle pasture? Are they a farmer or a rancher? What if they use one section for grain and five for cattle? What if every couple of years they rotate a wheat crop into their hayfields, or vice versa? My wife was perfectly right when she said she grew up on a farm, but she was also completely correct when she said she grew up on a ranch.
And here’s my dilemma: what if I want to talk about both farmers and ranchers on my blog? I’m sure as heck not going to call them agriculturalists, even though that’s probably the best description. But I’m also not going to write farmers and ranchers every time I want to talk about farmers and ranchers because writing farmers and ranchers over and over again sounds clunky. And, it is over twice as many keystrokes as if I just wrote farmers or ranchers. Using agriculturalists technically takes fewer keystrokes than writing farmers and ranchers, but I’m not the sort of person that uses the word agriculturalists. I’m not sure what sort of person I am, but I know I’m not that sort of person.
Before you dismiss this dilemma as the abstract ramblings of a tea-addled mind (in fairness, you wouldn’t be the first) allow me to assure you that my dilemma is real and valid. We’ve moved beyond the theoretical here folks. Mine is a nitty-gritty, rubber-meets-the-road, stuff-of-life sort of question. Take, for example, a post I posted in November entitled “Concerning Ranchers.” In that piece I used the term “ranchers” throughout, mainly because I was talking about a book published by the Montana Stock Growers Association—clearly a ranching organization. However, the sweeping stereotypes and generalizations I made in the post could just as easily pertain to farmers (they could also pertain to nosy urbanites, local historians, hobbits, and the sort of people who just like to know things, but that is beside the point). I tried a variety of words before settling on “ranchers.” As a matter of fact, it was while writing that post that I determined once and for all that I am not the sort of person who uses the word agriculturalists because it makes me sound like a “puffed up popinjay” (yes, that’s a Harry Potter quote). This was a profound moment of self-discovery for me, and I defy you to belittle it.
In short, I intend to use whichever word I please. If I am talking only about crop-growers, then sure, I will say farmers. If I am talking only about stock growers, I’ll use ranchers. But if I want to refer to both, I intend to use the word that sounds better in the sentence (by which I mean: I will alliterate whenever possible). It shouldn’t be that confusing. Just assume I know exactly what I’m talking about and we’ll get along fine.
I mentioned this post to my wife, and she immediately broke into song. I had never heard this song before, and wish I never had, it’s the sort of song the lodges itself firmly in your brain. | agronomy |

Very palatable for adults and children more for its taste than for its medicinal properties, however, it has a very good combination of active ingredients which make it an excellent food-medicine. In fact it was highly appreciated by physicians of ancient Greece for its detoxifying properties
The nutritional value of cherries is daily prevention.
It is remineralizing and toning. Rarely we have on hand a fruit so full of vitamins, minerals and trace elements that work for revitalizing us. From the nutritional point of view, it contains over 80% of water, with 59 calories per 100 grams.
One of the most valued properties of cherry is to mitigate the sensation of hunger in the brain. The cherry cure can be used without fear of malnourished or demineralized.
The salicylic acid (about 2 mg per kilo of cherry), gives a good anti-inflammatory effect and anti- arthritic. Besides the pendulum or holding fruit scut, boiled, will serve as a diuretic and help eliminate circulating uric acid.
Carbohydrates or sugars of Cherry, fructose and levulose, are so easily assimilated, that even diabetics can eat this fruit without problems.
Helps improve circulation, so it is ideal against diseases such as varicose veins, hemorrhoids, among others.
It is a fruit that, thanks to its content of ellagic acid, helps inhibit the reproduction of cancer cells.
The uric acid content and cherry consumption have always been related to the treatment and prevention of gout.
Cherries also noted for its cosmetic virtues as it rejuvenates and refreshes the skin, combats swelling from fluid retention and promotes skin tanning.

How often should I have my lawn mowed?
The frequency of lawn mowing will depend on the specific needs of your lawn and the type of grass you have. Generally, it is recommended to mow your lawn once a week during the growing season, but this may vary depending on the weather and the rate of growth of your grass.
How long will it take to mow my lawn?
The time it takes to mow a lawn will depend on the size of the lawn, the type of grass, and the speed of the mower. On average, it takes about 30-45 minutes to mow a lawn that is 1/4 acre in size with a push mower, trim all the edges, and blow the grass clippings back into the yard.
What is included in a typical lawn mowing service?
A typical lawn mowing service includes mowing the grass, trimming around trees, shrubs, and other obstacles, and removing clippings from the lawn. Some companies may also offer additional services such as edging, fertilizing, and aerating the lawn.
How much does a lawn mowing service cost?
The cost of a lawn mowing service will vary depending on the size of the lawn, the frequency of the service, and any additional services that are included. On average, you can expect to pay around $50-$75 for a quality lawn mowing service for a 1/4 acre lawn in Spokane, WA.
Can I request specific mowing patterns or designs?
Yes, many lawn mowing companies will allow you to request specific mowing patterns or designs. It is best to discuss this with the company before the service is performed to ensure that your preferences are understood and can be accommodated.
Will the lawn mowing company remove the grass clippings from my lawn?
Most lawn mowing companies will remove the grass clippings from your lawn after the service is completed. Some may leave the clippings on the lawn as a natural fertilizer, but this will depend on the preferences of the homeowner and the policies of the company. | agronomy |

It has been used to provide drinking water, water for livestock, water for irrigation or to refill aquifers in a process called groundwater recharge. Rainwater collected from the roofs of houses, tents and local institutions, can make an important contribution to the availability of drinking water. Water collected from the ground, sometimes from areas which are especially prepared for this purpose, is called Stormwater harvesting. In some cases, rainwater may be the only available, or economical, water source.
Rainwater harvesting systems can be simple to construct from inexpensive local materials, and are potentially successful in most habitable locations. Roof rainwater can be of good quality and may not require treatment before consumption. Although some rooftop materials may produce rainwater that is harmful to human health, it can be useful in flushing toilets, washing clothes, watering the garden and washing cars; these uses alone halve the amount of water used by a typical home. Household rainfall catchment systems are appropriate in areas with an average rainfall greater than 200 mm (7.9 in) per year, and no other accessible water sources (Skinner and Cotton, 1992).
There are a number of types of systems to harvest rainwater ranging from very simple to the complex industrial systems. The rate at which water can be collected from either system is dependent on the plan area of the system, its efficiency, and the intensity of rainfall (i.e annual precipitation (mm per annum) x square meter of catchment area = litres per annum yield) … a 200 square meter roof catchment catching 1,000mm PA yields 200 kLPA.
Rainwater harvesting systems channel rainwater that falls on to a roof into storage via a system of gutters and pipes. The first flush of rainwater after a dry season should be allowed to run to waste as it will be contaminated with dust, bird droppings etc. Roof gutters should have sufficient incline to avoid standing water. They must be strong enough, and large enough to carry peak flows. Storage tanks should be covered to prevent mosquito breeding and to reduce evaporation losses, contamination and algal growth. Rainwater harvesting systems require regular maintenance and cleaning to keep the system hygienic.
A subsurface dyke is built in an aquifer to obstruct the natural flow of groundwater, thereby raising the groundwater level and increasing the amount of water stored in the aquifer.
The subsurface dyke at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kannur under Kerala Agricultural University with the support of ICAR, has become an effective method for ground water conservation by means of rain water harvesting technologies. The sub-surface dyke has demonstrated that it is a feasible method for conserving and exploiting the groundwater resources of the Kerala state of India. The dyke is now the largest rainwater harvesting system in that region. | agronomy |

You need to do a lot of your research, so that you don’t waste money, time, and resources on improperly growing your garden. There are some tips listed below to help you start properly growing the ideal organic garden.
When boiling or steaming vegetables, keep the water that the vegetables were cooked in and let it cool. Use the water to water the garden with. It is packed with all the vitamins and minerals that were in the vegetables when they were cooked and will help the plants grow as a natural plant food.
To avoid drowning your plants, follow weather reports as much as possible. If rain is expected, there is no need in watering your garden. This will save you money on your water bill and avoid watering your plants exceedingly. If dryness and heat are expected, water your plants accordingly.
Although railroad ties may look very nice in your garden, the chemicals in them, are thought to be hazardous and toxic to the health of the garden, so consider alternatives. Natural wood is easy to find and will add a beautiful touch to your garden.
Vegetables should be placed in a spot in your garden that will get about six hours of sun every day. Most vegetables require this amount of sun in order to grow properly and at a quicker pace. Some flowers also need six hours of daily direct sun in order to grow and blossom well.
If your tomato plants have long branches that are not flowering or producing fruit, go ahead and pinch them off. It won’t hurt the plant, but will actually help. Pruning back the branches that are not producing fruit, allows the plant to focus its energy and nutrients on producing larger and more flavorful fruit.
Determine what kind of pests you have in your garden before you apply a pesticide spray. No one pesticide can handle every pest problem and you might end up killing off the pests natural predators which will make the problem worse.
Make bloom-times overlap. Plant both early and late blooming plants next to each other, so that you have flowers all season long. Shallow-rooted annuals can be planted around deep-planted spring bulbs – when the bulbs die down, the annuals will just be coming into flower. For each season, choose one outstanding plant to serve as the key flower. Plant in drifts throughout the bed, and fill in with secondary flowers.
If you have to lift something heavy you need to lift with your knees. Many people make the mistake of lifting with their back when they are lifting heavy objects. This can lead to a lot of back ache and could even cause extreme damage. You should never lift anything that is extremely heavy without help from someone else.
If you have a compost pile, but have very few leaves to add to it this fall, try incorporating straw or hay into your compost pile. This is a great way to add carbon which is very beneficial to the growth and health of plants. The straw and hay may contain seeds, so it is best to use an organic weed spray on your compost pile to get rid of the unwanted weeds.
Keep your fertilizers and pesticides organic. It may seem like an odd fact, but residential gardeners use a ton more chemicals than actual farmers do. This causes big problems for vegetation, fish, and wildlife. Urban areas are polluted enough without the chemical dumping. Do your part and avoid chemicals at all costs.
Keep your soil healthy, when you keep your soil healthy, you won’t require chemical fertilizers. Residential users of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides apply more pounds per acre of these chemicals than farmers do. As these pollutants run off, they get into the water supply and become harmful to other plants, animals and humans.
Poor organic gardening can be very troublesome, but with some work and some patience, you can grow a better garden. It just takes research, hard work and patience to start seeing the “fruits” of your labor. Do yourself a favor and try using the above tips to help grow a beautiful organic garden. | agronomy |

Global distribution of plant genetic resources. In general, the highest number of species of vascular plants is found in the humid tropics and subtropics .The species number strongly declines from the tropics and subtropics towards the temperate and polar zone north and south of the equator, indicating that hotspots of biodiversity are mainly associated with warm and humid tropical.
Participatory plant breeding is a process by which the benefactors of plant breeding actually contribute to the development of new crop varieties by their on-farm activities.
The symposium will discuss various technical issues and present advantages and limitations of this mode of plant breeding. The process has implications for global food security and local economic and nutritionally.
Farmers’ Participatory Varietal Selection: A Sustainable Crop Improvement Approach for the 21st Century. Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems: Vol. 38, No. 4, pp. Today’s agriculture is like a huge inverted pyramid; globally, it rests on a precariously narrow base. Less than three percent of the plant varieties available to agriculture are in use today.
The top-down system of agricultural research, where farmers are seen merely as recipients of research rather than as participants in it, has contributed to this dependence on a. known as participatory crop improvement (PCI), evolved from a participatory research model initially referred to as the “farmer-back-to-farmer” model [7, 8].
PPB has since been used to bring farmers, researchers, extension agents and other beneficiaries of plant breeding together in the process of developing new crop varieties [9, 10].Abstract.
Organic farmers require improved varieties that have been adapted to their unique soils, nutrient inputs, management practices, and pest pressures. One way to develop adapted varieties is to situate breeding programs in the environment of intended use, such as directly on organic farms, and in collaboration with organic farmers.
This model is a form of participatory plant breeding.Modern plant breeding only dates back about 50 years. The role of pollination and fertilization in the process of reproduction was not well understood even years ago, and it was not until the early part of the 20th century that the laws of genetic inheritance were applied toward the improvement of plants. | agronomy |

Basmati rice comes from the lower regions of the Himalayas and Madhya Pradesh.
This is what makes our Daawat Basmati rice special:
- the finest aroma and exclusive taste
- the grains are uniformly long, remain free-flowing after cooking and do not stick together
- best quality of the grains in terms of obtaining, maturation and processing
Typical dishes with Daawat Basmati rice:
The ideal rice for preparing a Pulao or Biryani and a large selection of other dishes that can be combined with it.
Daawat basmati rice ripens using state-of-the-art technology to produce particularly delicate, straight, separated and non-sticky grains. When cooked, the texture of the basmati retains its firmness and, unlike other rice, it is not sticky thanks to the amylose substance in the rice. Basmati rice increases to almost twice its original length when cooked. Depending on the variety, the grain of Daawat rice is long (usually 6.61 to 7.50mm) or extra long (more than 7.50mm long and 2mm wide). The rice is then subjected to a rigorous process of cleaning, separating, peeling, polishing and sorting before being safely stored in the state-of-the-art grain silos. Every step of the way is checked and analyzed to ensure the highest quality.

The first detailed study scrutinising how solar farms affect local micro-climate has been published by Lancaster University scientists.
The study focused on a large solar park near Swindon, which it monitored for a whole year.
The researchers found that the soil beneath the solar panels was up to 5°C cooler than unshaded ground in the same area. The effects, however, varied depending on the time of the day and season.
“Solar parks are appearing in our landscapes but we are uncertain how they will affect the local environment,” said Alona Armstrong, of Lancaster University’s Environment Centre, who led the study.
“This is particularly important as solar parks take up more space per unit of power generated compared with traditional sources. This has implications for ecosystems and the provision of goods, for example crops, and services, such as soil carbon storage.”
The observed impact, if managed carefully, is not necessarily negative. More moderate temperatures at the height of summer may benefit many types of crops and improve soil water retention.
“The shade under the panels may allow crops to be grown that can’t survive in full sun,” Armstrong said. “Also, water losses may be reduced and water could be collected from the large surfaces of the solar panels and used for crop irrigation.”
However, the researchers acknowledged more work needs to be done to provide farmers and land managers with the necessary knowledge to choose the most suitable crops and develop the best practices to manage land shaded with solar panels. Proper understanding of the changes to the micro-climate caused by the solar panels could eventually improve yields, as well as maximise biodiversity.
The study, called 'Solar park micro-climate and vegetation management effects on grassland carbon cycling', was published in the latest issue of the journal Environmental Research Letters. | agronomy |

Succulents are capable of surviving on limited water resources. Their personal misty and dewy climate makes them tolerant to drought.
The main advantage of growing these plants indoors is that they have a wonderful capacity to retain water and survive in dry climates.
They are ideal as a low maintenance houseplant. As a first time gardener, you can follow the steps given below to take amazing care of your favorite indoor succulent plant.
- Select a suitable succulent based on your indoor settings: Succulents have a common trait: they all like direct sunlight. If you are thinking of growing them in a hanging planter, then you can choose the String of Bananas succulent plant; on the other hand, choosing a Mother-in-law tongue plant can be perfect if you have a shaded corner in your home. These are low light-tolerant plants.
Note: Make sure to check the plant labels for confirming sunlight needs, size and spread as well.
- Provide a well-draining potting standard: Nurseries always supply rich soil which retains more moisture. You need to repot your plant as soon as possible after bringing it home. Begin with a grainy potting mix that will allow for good water drainage. Potting mixes especially made for succulents can be found at a nursery. Remember to wet the mix before using it so that the mixture is moist evenly throughout.
- Use a perfect size container: When you choose a container for transferring your succulent then make sure it has a proper drainage hole and is minimum 1 to 2 inches larger than the nursery’s container. You need to fill one-third of the bottom part of the container with suitable pre-moistened potting mix. Next, set it up in the right position at your home. Fill the pot with more pre-moistened potting mix.
Note: Try to avoid glass containers like terrariums or mason jars. It will be wiser to pursue a long-term solution like planting them in a pot. A glass container does not allow roots to breathe which can cause root rot over time.
- Leave the potting mix to dry before watering: Overwatering the plant potting is a bad idea; however, you can water the succulents every two to three weeks. Make sure that water flows out of the drainage hole properly and also allow the mixture to dry out considerably before the next watering. If the potting mix stays regularly wet every day, your plant may die eventually.
- Choose a location in your home where the succulent gets enough sun: Minimum 6 hours of sun per day is essential for most succulents. You can select a place near a south- or east-facing window.
Note: If succulents don’t receive enough sun, notice that they becoming stretchy or spindly near the sunlight.
- Fertilize the succulents at least once a year: It is important to use a balanced, all-purpose and water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half the power recommended on the package instructions. Avoid fertilizing succulents in the winter season when they are semi-dormant.
Succulent plant care tips:
A suitable place to start with these plants is by at first choosing to grow the ones which are naturally green. You can also select succulents which don’t prefer direct sunlight. According to the plants’ preference, proper shade and low light facilities can make a big difference in creating a successful indoor succulent garden. Below are a few tips for taking care of your plants:
- Keep them clean: Indoor plants pick up dust easily on their surface. To ensure their growth, wipe off the leaves and spines lightly with a damp cloth.
- Supply water depending on the season: During the summer and spring season, succulents drink up much more water compared to the winter and fall.
- Make sure they get enough light daily: They like light and it can be six hours of sun per day depending on your plant’s species.
- Be careful of bug attacks: Sometimes, you may have to face bugs. If the soil is too wet and does not have a perfect drainage system, gnats can be drawn to succulents. Over-fertilizing and overwatering are common reasons for mealy bugs. In this situation, you need to move the infected plants away from the good succulents. You can spray the infected ones with 70 percent isopropyl alcohol.
Check out the FAQ below or our guide to growing succulent cuttings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it right to use sand for planting succulents?
Succulents desire rocky loose soil and need nutrients to grow perfectly. The best potting medium for a succulent is one specifically formulated for them. A well-draining mix of potting soil, perlite, and coarse sand can also be used.
Is it possible to start succulents from seeds?
Yes! The seeds can be grown in indoor light, and moist soil. However, they do grow a bit slower and normally don’t reach transplant size until 6 months to 1 year after germinating. | agronomy |

Increasingly, dairy farmers are looking for new ways to save time, cuts costs and improve grass management activities. Currently, many farmers rely on manual methods, for example visual assessment or using a plate meter, which can be time intensive and require frequent manual updates to provide current and accurate estimates of grass cover.
Grass SAT, is an online grass management service for dairy farmers to optimise rotational grazing across their farms. Using a comprehensive grass growth model fed with regular analytics derived from satellite imagery, farmers are presented with a daily update of grass cover per paddock. The metrics are visualised in a secure portal supported with a grazing wedge, sorting grass cover from highest to lowest, as well as valuable decision support information such as number of grazing days per paddock and a colour-coded map of the farm presenting volumes and distribution of grass available.
The service is very easy to use and allows farmers to initially draw their paddocks in a digital map and add herd information before they are presented with their wedge and daily grass cover measurements. Farmers then update the portal with paddock activities, such as grazing or a cutting, and these feed into the model and revaluate the grass cover analytics.
John Brocklehurst, Dairy Farmer, Hilltop Farm, commented, “Utilising as much grazed grass as possible is a top priority KPI for our business and I hope by using Grass SAT it will provide me with more frequent grass measurements of the whole farm without having to walk it. The data is already informing my day to day grazing management and moving forward I hope to identify areas of the farm that are less productive and improve them as well as allocating grass to the cows more efficiently.”
Farmers can also pull out paddocks for silage production as well as run multiple wedges if required and new features, including an App, will be available over the coming months.
Philip Briscoe, Chief Operating Officer, Rezatec explained, “We have been developing this product for a few years now and are confident it will make farmers lives much easier. With an initial discounted trial period of two months, farmers can also be confident of the time the service can save them simply by providing an automated daily update of grass cover.” | agronomy |

Column Editor’s Note: Public and school library gardens are a growing movement in rural, suburban, and urban communities. The opportunity to engage library patrons of all ages in developing a garden or healthy eating project is one that fulfills a powerful library mission to serve their populations.
A 2014 article in School Library Journal — http://www.slj.com/2014/08/programs/dig-it-libraries-are-creating-gardens-to-expand-their-mission — highlights the roles libraries can play in building school or community gardens. Public and school libraries can be great places to offer local communities gardening literature, and, increasingly, programs and space devoted to gardening. Libraries are uniquely able to connect environmental, sustainability, and nutritional literacy to garden activities. Some public libraries either have, or are creating, space to allow children or teens to grow gardens. Some libraries have little or no access to outdoor space for gardening. Containers or tank gardening provide alternatives when space is limited. Sustainability of the garden space, indoor or outdoor, is key; ongoing library programming for children, teens, and adults to maintain the gardens can build lasting relationships within the community. Small grants or donations of gardening tools may be possible from local nurseries or big-box home improvement stores. Local horticultural societies and cooperative extension offices with master gardeners are two groups that can help provide additional expertise in designing and maintain sustainable gardens with local plants.
Following are some lively and informative online and print resources for school and library gardening with children. — JM

Haseeb Md Irfanullah looks at the origins of growing crops on floating plant rafts in Bangladesh and how the practice has evolved over time, asking what the next phase in the development of such agriculture will be
Floating beds in Banaripara, Barishal, Bangladesh. Photo: Haseeb Md Irfanullah
If we track the history of floating agriculture in Bangladesh, we find six major phases. It is difficult to pinpoint when floating cultivation began in Bangladesh – the current reckoning extends to 400 years ago. Although water hyacinth is now the base material to make floating beds to grow crops, this was not possible a couple of centuries ago as this South American aquatic plant was only introduced to Bengal in the 1890s.
In his 2009 article in Environment and History, Iftekhar Iqbal reused a map from 1922 that showed the wild spread of water hyacinth in Bengal. Since the “very seriously affected” areas included the greater Faridpur and Barishal regions – the centre of origin of floating farming in this delta – we may assume that a water hyacinth-based agro-system might have started a century ago.
However, there is an alternative story. After harvesting, paddy stub was traditionally left in heaps on the field, and this floated as floodwater entered the wetlands. Farmers used these floating rafts to raise seedlings and grow vegetables on them by adding a layer of soil or other organic matter. An archaeo-botanical study in south-central Bangladesh may confirm the true origin of this traditional practice.
Nevertheless, if we consider the second story of origin, the first phase of floating agriculture lasted until the 1960s, when we started cultivating high-yielding rice varieties. After that, the second phase began. These new rice strains had shorter straw that decomposed quickly, thus, it was not fit for floating beds. In the search for an alternative material, water hyacinth was an obvious choice owing to its aggressive abundance. In the early 1990s, Shykh Seraj featured the floating agriculture of the Barishal region in his popular series Maati o Manush on Bangladesh Television.
The third phase of this agro-practice started at the turn of this century, when NGOs embraced it. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies (BCAS) promoted this practice in Gopalganj under a community-based natural resource management project under the Sustainable Environment Management Programme (SEMP, 1998−2005) of the Government of Bangladesh and UNDP.
Soon, floating farming became a part of community development projects in Bangladesh.
Around 2005, Practical Action took the practice to northern Bangladesh, starting with Gaibandha. Over the next ten years, it was scaled up in several flood-prone districts of Rangpur division. Over the same period, IUCN and CARE introduced and promoted floating cultivation in the wetlands of haor regions, greater Mymensingh and northern Bangladesh under two phases of the USAID-funded Shouhardo programme. Other agencies, like Helvetas, also joined the efforts in the haor region. In 2010, Rangamati Hill District Council introduced this practice to the Chittagong Hill Tracts by supporting 244 floating beds along the shores of the Kaptai Lake.
NGOs worked exclusively with extremely poor families to train and support them in their adoption of floating farming. Their projects essentially considered it as a source of household nutrition or as a means of disaster risk reduction (by raising rice seedlings on the beds), rather than a business opportunity, as was seen in south-central Bangladesh. As a result, most of those families did not continue this innovation once the project support stopped.
The fourth phase began when a climate change dimension was added to floating agriculture. The Reducing Vulnerability to Climate Change (RVCC) project of CARE (2002-2005) – apparently the first adaptation project in Bangladesh – promoted floating cultivation as an adaptation option in the waterlogged areas of the south-western region. From then on, floating agriculture is, as I often say: “A local lad becoming a climate celebrity.”
Bangladesh’s climate documents soon picked up floating farming – the National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA, 2005, updated in 2009) and the second (2012) and third (2018) national communications submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) sufficiently discussed this agro-practice.
Global recognition of floating agriculture took a leap during 2014-2015. In 2014, the UNFCCC's Technology Executive Committee featured this practice as a useful adaptation technology, while the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) landmark Fifth Assessment Report discussed its potential weaknesses under a changing climate. In 2015, under the leadership of Bangladesh's Ministry of Agriculture, 2,500 hectares of land in Barishal, Gopalganj and Pirojpur were designated by FAO as one of 62 Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) in the world.
The government of Bangladesh's promotion of floating agriculture through well-funded projects can be considered the fifth phase. In the second phase of the Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP II, 2010-2015), the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) trained and engaged 565 farmers in this practice in historically floating agriculture areas (Gopalganj, Madaripur and Pirojpur), haor regions (Habiganj, Netrokona and Sunamganj) and other flood-prone areas (Gaibandha and Manikganj).
In 2012, the DAE began implementing Extension of Floating Vegetable and Spices Cultivation Technologies as a Climate Change Adaptation Technology for Flood and Water-logged areas of Bangladesh – the first-ever government project dedicated to floating gardening. Although the Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (BCCSAP, 2009) did not mention floating agriculture, the Bangladesh Climate Change Trust Fund (BCCTF) funded this project to work with 12,000 farmers in 40 sub-districts of eight districts.
The DAE is currently implementing a much larger follow-up project (2017−2022) in 46 sub-districts of 24 districts. Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) has also conducted research to make floating cultivation more efficient, and the ongoing DAE project has adopted those innovations. Among others, the Department of Women’s Affairs has been supporting marginalised women to raise rice seedlings and cultivate vegetables on floating beds as well. Along with actions on the ground, it is crucial to capture the experiences of the DAE and other agencies in floating farming and make them publicly available for wider awareness.
Over the past five years, scientific research on floating agriculture has gained momentum. Bangladeshi researchers have been looking into this practice as a whole, measuring yield performance of crops, analysing benefits and costs, identifying constraints farmers face, and so on. To me, such interest in knowledge creation, together with technological innovations, defines the sixth phase of floating cultivation.
Aquageoponics is a different form of floating agriculture, where a floating structure is made with bamboo or iron frames and plastic floats, pots with soil are kept on the frame to grow vegetables, and a net cage is placed under the floating structure to culture small fish.
WorldFish and its partners first tried this integrated system in Barishal in 2013; Practical Action piloted it in Satkhira. Shidhulai, an NGO, further added a duck-rearing component to this system and promoted it in the Chalan Beel wetland in northern Bangladesh.
In 2005, I was fascinated to see floating gardens in Gopalganj, but I never thought this practice would last this long. The way global temperatures are rising, floods and storms are getting wilder, and seawater is invading our shores, I wonder how the next phase of floating agriculture will be written.

households, roughly 42 million, get involved in food gardening. There has likewise been an increase of 63% involvement in farming by millennials from 2008-2013. US households taking part in neighborhood gardening has actually likewise tripled from 1 to 3 million because timespan. Urban farming provides unique opportunities to bridge varied neighborhoods together.
Hence, making each neighborhood garden a center that is reflective of the neighborhood. bugs. Edible Oyster Mushrooms growing on utilized coffee grounds The existing industrial farming system is liable for high energy costs for the transport of foods (nutrients). According to a study by Rich Pirog, the associate director of the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University, the typical standard fruit and vegetables item travels 1,500 miles (2,400 km), using, if shipped by tractor-trailer, 1 United States gallon (3.
83 imp gal) of nonrenewable fuel source per 100 pounds (45 kg) – soil. The energy utilized to transport food is decreased when metropolitan farming can supply cities with in your area grown food. Pirog discovered that conventional, non-local, food distribution system utilized 4 to 17 times more fuel and gave off 5 to 17 times more CO2 than the regional and regional transport.
A windowfarm, incorporating discarded plastic bottles into pots for hydroponic farming in metropolitan windows As mentioned above, the energy-efficient nature of city agriculture can decrease each city's carbon footprint by minimizing the amount of transportation that happens to provide items to the customer (nutrients). Also, these areas can function as carbon sinks balancing out a few of the carbon accumulation that is inherent to city locations, where pavement and buildings outnumber plants.
16 You Always Wondered About Garden Supplies
The procedure of Carbon Sequestration can be even more enhanced by combining other agriculture strategies to increase removal from the atmosphere and prevent the release of CO2 throughout harvest (soil). However, this process relies greatly on the kinds of plants picked and the approach of farming. Particularly, picking plants that do not lose their leaves and remain green all year can increase the farm's ability to sequester carbon.
Minimizing these particulates and ozone gases might lower death rates in city areas together with increase the health of those living in cities (certification). Simply to offer one example in the article "Green roofing systems as a method of contamination abatement," the author argues that a roof including 2000 m of uncut grass has the potential to remove approximately 4000 kg of particulate matter.
Uninhabited metropolitan lots are typically victims to unlawful discarding of hazardous chemicals and other wastes – weed control. They are likewise responsible to build up standing water and "grey water", which can be dangerous to public health, especially left stagnant for extended periods (pests). The execution of metropolitan agriculture in these uninhabited lots can be a cost-efficient method for removing these chemicals.
Several chemicals can be targeted for elimination, consisting of heavy metals (e. certification. g. Mercury and lead), inorganic compounds (e. g. Arsenic and Uranium), and organic substances (e. g. petroleum and chlorinated compounds like PBC's). Phytoremeditation is both an environmentally friendly, cost-efficient, and energy-efficient step to reduce contamination. weed control. Phytoremediation only costs about $5$40 per lots of soil being decontaminated.
Garden Supplies are Disrupting The Business World
Urban farming as a technique to mediate chemical pollution can be reliable in preventing the spread of these chemicals into the surrounding environment. pests. Other approaches of removal typically disturb the soil and require the chemicals included within it into the air or water. Plants can be used as a method to eliminate chemicals and likewise to hold the soil and prevent disintegration of contaminated soil reducing the spread of pollutants and the hazard provided by these lots (growing).
Using well-studied plants is crucial since there has currently been substantial bodies of work to evaluate them in different conditions, so actions can be confirmed with certainty. Such plants are also important since they are genetically identical as crops instead of natural variants of the same species. Normally urban soil has actually had the topsoil removed away and has actually caused soil with low aeration, porosity, and drain.
A new measurement is active carbon (Air Conditioner), which is the most usable part of the overall organic carbon (TOC) in the soil. growing. This contributes greatly to the performance of the soil food web. Utilizing typical crops, which are generally well-studied, as bioindicators can be used to effectively check the quality of an urban farming plot prior to beginning planting.
In the study "Sound exposure and public health," they argue that exposure to consistent sound is a public health problem. They cite examples of the hinderance of consistent noise on humans to include: "hearing problems, hypertension and ischemic heart illness, inconvenience, sleep disturbance, and reduced school performance. nutrients." Since a lot of roofing systems or vacant lots consist of hard flat surface areas that show acoustic waves rather of absorbing them, adding plants that can absorb these waves has the potential to lead to a vast decrease in sound pollution.
Why Farm Supplies For Growers are So Popular
Urban agriculture is related to increased intake of vegetables and fruits which reduces danger for illness and can be an affordable method to supply citizens with quality, fresh fruit and vegetables in metropolitan settings – pests. Produce from metropolitan gardens can be viewed to be more flavorful and desirable than shop purchased fruit and vegetables which might likewise result in a broader approval and higher intake. certification.
4 times more daily and were 3 – pest control. 5 times more likely to consume fruits or vegetables https://sierranaturalscience.com/shopping/natural-pesticides/pc-insecticide-rtu/ a minimum of 5 times daily (p. 1). Garden-based education can also yield dietary benefits in children. An Idaho research study reported a favorable association between school gardens and increased consumption of fruit, veggies, vitamin A, vitamin C and fiber among sixth graders.
The procedure of blanching fruit and vegetables in order to freeze or can reduce nutrition material slightly, but not almost as much as the amount of time spent in storage. Collecting produce from one's own community garden cuts back on storage times significantly. Urban farming also provides quality nutrition for low-income households. | agronomy |

It’s a somewhat small yet community focused farm that “strives to restore underutilized farmland for agricultural purposes, while maintaining and cultivating the ecological richness and diversity of the land.”
Brookwood Community Farm
11 Blue Hill River Road
Canton, MA 02187
A friend from my high school days who works for the farm reached out and told me about it. She wanted me to visit Brookwood and try some of their vegetables so that I could share my experience with the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) in time for the fall sign up (September 26 – November 18). I received two weeks of complimentary vegetables from the farm on consecutive Saturdays and did not regret it.
With that said, I’ve always been a bit skeptical about CSA’s for a variety of reasons. I do support local businesses and I applaud sustainability efforts from those seeking to produce food locally, which is exactly what most CSA’s are trying to accomplish. Some of my concerns arose after observing the experiences that friends had with CSA’s. In particular, I was concerned with food waste and quality. Some of my friends received so many vegetables, that it became a chore to try and eat or preserve them in a week before the next share arrived so that they wouldn’t spoil. I absolutely abhor food waste and try to minimize my own as much as possible, so it was a pleasant surprise to see that the vegetables I received from Brookwood weren’t more than my family could handle. If they were, my friend told me that the veggies made nice impromptu gifts to friends and family or could be frozen or preserved where necessary. Brookwood also offers a newsletter to its patrons that sometimes has recipe suggestions for those unsure about what to do with their weekly haul. As for quality, I was told that some of the vegetables may not appear as “pretty” as those in the grocery store, but honestly, most of the produce looked fantastic to me. It really just depends on the product and harvest that week. When I arrived for my first pickup, I saw the board that tells participants what their share entails that week. The shares I received contained, carrots, tomatoes, green peppers, hot peppers, husk cherries (what’s a husk cherry? see below!), eggplant, herbs, onions, and an option to pick your own herbs and cherry tomatoes.
The carrots, for example, are a bit smaller and less picturesque than the grocery store, but they taste better as well as have some of the lushest carrot greens (which are edible!) I’ve ever seen. The tomatoes on the other hand, were often as large or even larger than those at the grocery store (especially the plum tomatoes!). Even better, the tomatoes weren’t overripe because they were so fresh. They’re perfect right away for use in salsas and great after letting them ripen a bit for other applications.
The green peppers were very nice and ranged from deep green to almost yellow, which my wife loved. The onions each week came as either shallots or small yellow onions, which personally, I feel one can never have enough of at home for cooking.
As someone that isn’t a big fan of eggplant anymore, I really liked that Brookwood grows other types of common foods. They don’t just grow the typical big, dark purple eggplant most people know, but they have other varieties with lighter, thinner skins, or varying shapes as well.
I’ve seen some CSA’s where all of the vegetables are delivered in a box to the recipients, so there’s no need to go out to the farm or even pick anything. Brookwood asks their patrons to come to the farm, select their own vegetables from under a tent (which is great because you can get the ones you like), and then gives them the option to go out into the fields to pick some of their own produce right from the land. I wasn’t so sure about picking my own herbs and cherry tomatoes, but honestly I found it very fun and enjoyable. They make it easy to get to the areas and it gives one a sense of appreciation for the hard work that goes into agriculture and cultivation that we often forget about due to the convenience of grocery stores.
My favorite part of trying out Brookwood’s CSA is that it introduced me to produce I not only never tried, but never even knew about. For example, husk cherries. I’ve never even heard of a husk cherry, nevermind seen one. At Brookwood, we got a pint of husk cherries, which are related to tomatillos and gooseberries rather than cherries. They have a husk on the outside that is peeled off and inside it looks like a tiny mini tomato or tomatillo. The best part is that they taste like a cross between a tomato and a pineapple. Mind. Blown. I used them along with the fresh picked cherry tomatoes and shallots to make a killer husk cherry salsa!
If you enjoy fresh vegetables, supporting local businesses, eating sustainable food, and trying new produce often not found at grocery stores, then a CSA like Brookwood’s might just be for you. For more information about signing up for Brookwood’s Fall CSA, visit their website: https://brookwoodcommunityfarm.org/csa.
Some of the produce that the farm anticipates for the fall are:
- Lunchbox peppers
- Swiss Chard
- Lettuce and Salad Mix
- Hakurei (What’s that? Exactly.)

We sell most of our produce/eggs to local folks here in Bryson City and surrounding towns. We offer free delivery or dropins are welcomed with prior notice.
2011 Heritage Poultry Project
We are so honored to be the recipients of the 2011 WNC AgOptions Grant Program. We are in the process of purchasing Buckeyes and Chantecler - breeds on the extinct list. In addition, we have begun the hatching process of our own chicks, using our new Sportsman 1502 incubator. With the purchase of a poultry processing unit, we will be able to offer meat to our customers for the first time. Also, we will be selling baby chicks to other local poultry farmers and offering the use of our equipment to them.
A special thank you goes to our dear friend, Jim Adkins, International Center for Poultry, Project Coordinator. Without his guidance, coaching and teachings, our goal to provide fresh local eggs from humanely raised poultry for ourselves and others in the community would have been minimal at best. His commitment to assisting us become better poultry farmers has been invaluable.
A special thank you goes to the NC Tobacco Trust Fund Commission, for providing grant funding to the Western North Carolina farmers.
Finally, a special thank you goes to the WNC AgOptions, NC Cooperative Extension, and Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Program (ASAP), their extensive training, funding, and mission of building sustainable farming communities in the mountains is significant for us to meeting our goals. | agronomy |

What part(s) of the industry do you work in? Agriculture consulting, mainly in viticulture and horticulture.
Job title Viticulture and Horticulture Consultant
What does your company/ business do? We work with growers of many crops to ensure quality production in a sustainable manner. We do pest and disease management programs, soil testing with fertiliser and soil amendment advice, management advice, general assistance with management programs.
Describe your job on the average day Walking up and down many rows of various crops, having a close look for any issues. Lots of talking to growers, both getting information out of them and giving guidance. I get to spend a lot of time in a very beautiful part of Australia, the Southwest of WA.
How did you get involved with agriculture? I grew up on a broadacre farm in the Great Southern, but became quite interested in wine during a short stint in retail liquor post high school.
Education Studied viticulture at Charles Sturt University
If you studied/ trained in agriculture, why did you choose that degree/ certificate? The degree there was available completely externally, allowing me to work full time and study.
What are/were you plans after school/TAFE/university? After school I really wasn’t sure and sort of fell into vineyard work. This is where I decided to study viticulture.
Starting as a vineyard hand, over many years I have held various positions up to that of Group Viticulturist with one of WA’s larger producers. I have also managed a stint with a large ag input reseller in South Australia as an Agronomist, and currently contract to another one. Every now and then you can see me wandering the countryside in a Man Salmon coloured shirt.
What are your interests? I have a strong interest in sustainable agriculture. I like to work with growers who see their soil as more than just a medium for growing things in/on, but as a living thing that needs to be nurtured to get the best out of their crops.
What is your favourite thing about the industry? Agriculture HAS to be, by a country mile, the friendliest industry to work in. And it doesn’t matter how bad the season is, most people are looking forward and for ways to make the next year better.
Best experience in agriculture? Being involved in the wine industry, there really is nothing better than knowing that you have played a part in getting that final drop into a bottle.
Worst experience in agriculture? Some tough times, watching crops fail and knowing there is little you can do about it.
What do you think will be the biggest challenges of the agricultural industry in the future? Feeding a quickly growing world population whilst the costs of input seem to continue to rise.
Why do you think less people are becoming involved in agriculture? Unfortunately, with improved transport, more and more of our products are being imported. With many countries able to produce food at much lower costs, our ag sector gets squeezed. It makes it difficult for ag enterprises to compete wage wise.
We are also seeing generations grow up with significantly more technology and being used to the lifestyles a city has to offer.
What advice do you have for people thinking about getting into agriculture?
It is a fantastic industry. It needs hard working, dedicated smart people to go forward. Be part of it! The world will always need to eat!
How important do you think an agricultural background is to become involved in the industry? It is not important at all. A willingness to have a go is all you need.
What do you think is the most common misconception about agriculture? Non organically grown foods are not full of nasty chemicals! Although, maybe some of the cheap imports are. Oh, and chickens are not pumped full of hormones to make them grow big. That is in fact illegal to do! | agronomy |

If my schedule had permitted, those plants would have been gathered earlier........and if so, I would not have the appreciation for Blackberry leaf tea that I now have.
I found that the Blackberry leaves developed a very pleasant smell as they were stored in a sealed tin container. The flavor of the tea, in my opinion, was better than herbal teas that I have purchased...and was free!
Late last summer, as I saw my supply dwindling away, I decided to go ahead and replenish my supply of Blackberry leaves. I picked a nice supply, dried them, and recently began using them when the older supply was gone. To my surprise, the flavor was not nearly as good; more bitter and not as pleasant.
The first supply that I picked were already beginning to drop from the vines and were turning red or brown. I now believe.....after learning quite by accident....that the best time to pick Blackberry leaves for tea is in the fall after several frosts when the leaves are ready to drop.
It is amazing what nature has to offer us for free isn't it?
If possible get out, explore, and learn.............until next time............... | agronomy |

Thus, we are discussing the similarities between plants and humans.
The tragedy is that we destroy the organisms we need to grow nutrient-rich food and produce more food. The results are we consume food with two-thirds of the nutrient value that our grandfathers ate.
The nutrient reduction in food is due to manufactured soluble fertilizers and harmful tillage practices.
Any excess fertilizers, especially nitrates, flow through the soil column, contaminating groundwater, rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans.
An example is nitrates percolating into the water table. I recently received a notice from my county to have my groundwater tested for contaminants. Specifically nitrates in the water. Nitrates are harmful to you. Nitrates in well water mixed with baby formula can cause serious health effects.
If you have Nitrate in your urine, it indicates you have a bacterial infection. In the blood, nitrates can inhibit the amount of available oxygen. In small doses, Sodium nitrate can kill. Manufacturers use Nitrate as a preservative in processed cured meat.
An overabundance of nitrates in our water supply is about as dangerous as the lead in public water systems.
Both plants and animals need to convert insoluble nutrients into soluble nutrients they need. These processes work because microbes convert raw elements into usable food sources.
The elements found in nature are not in a usable form for either plants or animals. Raw earth elements are in this state because they do not migrate through the soil column. The natural state of the earth’s elements is why Nitrates have not polluted our water supply for millennia.
We need a go-between to turn the elements into nutrients plants, and our cells can process to build structures and tissues to survive and prosper. The go-betweens are microorganisms.
Dangers of Tilling Your Soil
We have known for over 70 years that the way we farm is contrary to producing nutrient-rich food. I stumped upon a patent request from 1951 that Monsanto develop a soil conditioner to help with the problems tilling the soil created. It is 2021, and we continue turning the earth with the same results.
The results are tilling the soil breaks the soil microorganism web that processes raw elements into nutrients on demand.
The Soil Web
When plants send out chemicals that tell the microorganisms what nutrients they need, the most familiar known elements are Nitrogen, phosphorus, and Potassium.
The bacteria in our gut perform a similar role. They stimulate the Vega nerve in the intestinal tract. Bacteria in the intestinal tract tell the Vega nerve how you are feeling. There is evidence that the bacteria in your intestines significantly impact your health.
As with plants, our bodies only distinguish nutrients and not sources. Most plants and animals use sugars to fuel themselves. However, the microorganisms in the soil and our guts convert raw elements into nutrients in exchange for sugars they can not produce through a symbolic relationship.
Death of the Symbolic Relationship
Microorganisms feed the plants and use the nutrients in exchange for sugar. The process is called a symbolic relationship.
When plants receive soluble nutrients (chemical fertilizers), they no longer feed sugars to the microorganisms. When this happens, the microbes die.
Chemical fertilizers provide the primary nutrients of nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium (NPK). Unfortunately, we do not feed plants the correct amounts or the spectrum of nutrients they need to produce nutrient-rich food, so our food has lost 1/3 of its nutrient value.
Providing plants with nutrient-rich food is how life used to excel. The same thing happens to humans when we consume various forms of sugar.
Sugars like fructose, linked to colon polyps, and glucose can inhibit gut microbes. We find fructose in a lot of the food we eat. A1C test for the amount of sugar-coating (glucose) in our red blood cells. The bottom line is we need to eat foods that feed our gut biome and not mainline fructose or glucose-rich diet into our guts.
Poisoning Your Growing Medium
The next problem with chemical fertilizers is they contain salt. Soluble chemical fertilizers are a composition of a particular nutrient, generally a salt. Therefore, feeding the soil with a constant supply of chemical fertilizers results in salt-contaminated land.
As we learn in our history classes, the Romans salted the lands of Carthage. The Romans knew that salted earth would never grow food again. Thus reducing the possibility of Carthage reemerging as a power state forever.
Salting the soil occurs throughout the United States and every country using chemical fertilizers.
Some researchers claim irrigation is the cause of salt contamination. They are right in one aspect. Water dilutes the soluble chemical fertilizers, breaking the chemical bonds and releasing man-make soluble nutrients and salts into the soil column.
Below is a simple test you can make on your own. In this case, I have done it for you. Use the Google search engine to seek the benefits and risks of chemical fertilizers. Results vary due to the number of citations on any given day. You will find some 45,800,000 results: 30,100,000 risks and 15,700,000 benefits of chemical fertilizers.
There are 67% more risks than benefits to chemical fertilizers. There are 17,600,000 sellers of chemical fertilizers. The number of chemical fertilizers that contain salt produced 21,200,000 results.
When searching for benefits of organic fertilizer compared to inorganic fertilizers, totaling 20,430,000. The benefits for inorganic were 2,730,000, and the advantages of organic were 17,700,000. That is roughly 86% more organic benefits results than using inorganic benefits.
Unfortunately, poor nutrition is showing an ugly face in our population. School lunches create malnourished students. Study after study has confirmed how poor the diet is in our schools.
In 1946, school lunches for children were created because the county faced malnourished WW II volunteers.
The volunteers had to regain their health through nutritious food before they could fight the war.
A result of the war was if we feed our kids, they will make healthy soldiers. Healthy soldiers made a better army to fight in future wars.
Elected officials must be malnourished. We can see by the poor decisions made feeding our population. | agronomy |

It grows mainly in Southeast Asia, southwest India and other tropical areas such as Puerto Rico and Florida, where the tree has been introduced. The tree grows from 6 to 25 m (19.7 to 82.0 ft) tall. The fruit of the mangosteen is sweet and tangy, juicy, somewhat fibrous, with fluid-filled vesicles (like the flesh of citrus fruits), with an inedible, deep reddish-purple colored rind (exocarp) when ripe. In each fruit, the fragrant edible flesh that surrounds each seed is botanically endocarp, i.e., the inner layer of the ovary. Seeds are almond-shaped and -sized.
The purple mangosteen belongs to the same genus as the other, less widely known, mangosteens, such as the button mangosteen (G. prainiana) or the charichuelo (G. madruno).
A tropical tree, the mangosteen must be grown in consistently warm conditions, as exposure to temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) for prolonged periods will usually kill a mature plant. They are known to recover from brief cold spells rather well, often with damage only to young growth. Experienced horticulturists have grown this species outdoors, and brought them to fruit in extreme south Florida.
The juvenile mangosteen fruit, which does not require fertilisation to form (see agamospermy), first appears as pale green or almost white in the shade of the canopy. As the fruit enlarges over the next two to three months, the exocarp colour deepens to darker green. During this period, the fruit increases in size until its exocarp is 6–8 centimetres (2.4–3.1 in) in outside diameter, remaining hard until a final, abrupt ripening stage.
The subsurface chemistry of the mangosteen exocarp comprises an array of polyphenols, including xanthones and tannins that assure astringency which discourages infestation by insects, fungi, plant viruses, bacteria and animal predation while the fruit is immature. Colour changes and softening of the exocarp are natural processes of ripening that indicates the fruit can be eaten and the seeds have finished developing.
Once the developing mangosteen fruit has stopped expanding, chlorophyll synthesis slows as the next colour phase begins. Initially streaked with red, the exocarp pigmentation transitions from green to red to dark purple, indicating a final ripening stage. This entire process takes place over a period of ten days as the edible quality of the fruit peaks.
Over the days following removal from the tree, the exocarp hardens to an extent depending upon post-harvest handling and ambient storage conditions, especially relative humidity levels. If the ambient humidity is high, exocarp hardening may take a week or longer when the flesh quality is peaking and excellent for consumption. However, after several additional days of storage, especially if unrefrigerated, the flesh inside the fruit might spoil without any obvious external indications. Using the hardness of the rind as an indicator of freshness for the first two weeks following harvest is therefore unreliable because the rind does not accurately reveal the interior condition of the flesh. If the exocarp is soft and yielding as it is when ripe and fresh from the tree, the fruit is usually good.
The edible endocarp of the mangosteen has the same shape and size as a tangerine 4–6 centimetres (1.6–2.4 in) in diameter, but is white. The number of fruit segments corresponds exactly with the number of stigma lobes on the exterior apex; accordingly, a higher number of fleshy segments also corresponds with the fewest seeds. The circle of wedge-shaped segments contains 4–8, rarely 9 segments, the larger ones harbouring the apomictic seeds that are unpalatable unless roasted. As a non-climacteric fruit, a picked mangosteen does not ripen further, so must be consumed shortly after harvest.
Often described as a subtle delicacy, the flesh bears an exceptionally mild aroma, quantitatively having about 1/400th of the chemical constituents of fragrant fruits, explaining its relative mildness. The main volatile components having caramel, grass and butter notes as part of the mangosteen fragrance are hexyl acetate, hexenol and α-copaene. | agronomy |

I do not want to use chemical fertilizers on my garden, so I have procured rabbits to produce manure I can use for fertilizer. But even though my bunnies help me avoid granulated 10-10-10 and Miracle Gro, there is no easy way to make sure my rabbit fertilizer is completely pure.
The definitive book on raising rabbits is Bob Bennet’s Storey’s Guide to Raising Rabbits, and in this book the author presents as unequivocal fact that pelleted rabbit feed is the best food for captive rabbits.
Pelleted food is easy—I get it in ten-pound bags at my local Tractor Supply store for $4.99. Several weeks ago, however, a comment on a blog post asked me if my rabbit feed, and subsequent poo/manure/fertilizer, was free of GMOs.
I had quibbled over the issue of GMO rabbit feed for some time, but the convenience and price of my rabbit pellets caused me to ignore the problem. The primary ingredients of my rabbit pellets are wheat, alfalfa, soybeans, and corn derivatives. The USDA approved the use of GMO alfalfa in January 2011, and most folks know that soybeans and corn are classic GMO crops. No matter what I’m buying, I assume that products contain GMO ingredients unless the packaging tells me otherwise—USDA Organic certification, for instance, guarantees that no GMO ingredients have been used.
If I could buy GMO-free rabbit feed at Tractor Supply, I would, even if I had to pay a little more, but that isn’t an option. The best option that I’ve found is a product by Oxbow, but it costs over three times as much, not to mention shipping costs.
The best solution I’ve found is to grow my own rabbit feed, and the best options seem to be timothy hay and/or alfalfa. So when one of my raised beds finishes its run of veggies, the rabbit crop will go in. Actually, I might just sow the stuff along my property line or see if I can somehow incorporate it into my landscaping as I already use native ornamental grasses. | agronomy |

The original structure was fourteen feet by twenty feet and was built with $50 worth of used lumber. Just before he was born, a ten foot by twelve foot addition was added. Out back was a barn for the cattle, but there was no room for the tractor. There was also an outhouse. At the front corner of the house was a sickly looking orange tree. There were no flower beds. Three mesquite trees and a hackberry tree grew in the front yard.
From money he earned chopping cotton, Herb saved up $35.00 and bought a chicken coop that was mounted on skids. Soon he was in the chicken business. One day he asked his mother if he could dig the areas in front of the house and plant. He had even marked it off, laying out a two foot wide by 20 foot long flower bed, except for the step going up to the front door. He received permission and soon had the flower bed dug and seeds planted.
In about a week the seeds sprouted, and he took care of the tiny plants. One day his father looked at the plants and said they looked a lot like maize. (Maize is a common crop grown for animal feed. The red seeds are on a stalk on the top of the plant.)
Herb admitted that he had planted maize.
“Well, why are you planting maize in a flower bed?”
“I need chicken feed.”
“You should have dug up another area to plant the maize. Flowers belong in front of the house.”
The neighbors loved to stop and look at the maize and make comments. They had a good time doing it, but it was very embarrassing to Herb. He had failed again because he had used logic and didn’t take the time to learn the strange custom of putting flowers in front of a house rather than a very productive grain crop. Meanwhile, Herb’s father gave him pointers on making the maize grow even better than it was growing.
Herb learned that the maize grew and produced as if it were planted in the correct place, so he learned that not all rules and customs need to be followed.
In developing new products, Herb listened to conventional wisdom that stated certain things would not work. He then ran tests and found that that conventional wisdom was wrong on a regular basis. He was then able to develop improved products with components that the competitors were not using. He was the first person to successfully use fly ash in stucco and mortar. Within a few years, other people were able to successfully use fly ash because they knew it could be done.
To this day, Herb chuckles about visiting a competitor’s booth at a trade show in 2001. Jim, their chief scientist and a long-term friend of Herb’s, was busy, so one of the young salesmen started telling Herb about how they had developed the technique of using fly ash in stucco and going on at length about the benefits of using fly ash. Herb just kept asking leading questions, and the young salesman just knew that he was going to make a big sale. Jim got freed up and turned around. He saw Herb and asked the salesman if he knew who he was talking to. The salesman knew Herb’s first name, and it did not mean anything to him. Jim said, “This is the man who invented the technology we borrowed to develop our products.”
The young salesman was embarrassed and wanted to know why Herb did not say anything. Herb said, “I learn more when I keep my mouth shut than when I keep it open.” | agronomy |

The following essay was written by Burgundy winemaker Philippe Pacalet, as an introduction to a collection of Jules Chauvet's studies on yeasts, techniques of vinification, carbonic maceration and malolactic fermentation. Considered to be the "father" of French natural winemaking, Chauvet was a Beaujolais negociant, taster and chemist whose studies and opinions, from the 1940's till his death in 1989, encouraged and made possible more natural methods, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. We see his influence, for example, in the work of Marcel Lapierre and others in the Beaujolais beginning in the early 1980's, and in the thriving natural wine movement today in France and Italy. We thank Jean-Paul Rocher, Editeur (Paris) for permission and for making many publications about Chauvet available. Further information can be found on the excellent website morethanorganic.com, and at LouisDressner.com (the principal importer of natural wines into the US)
Introduction by Philippe Pacalet
Jules Chauvet - Etudes Scientifiques
One must keep in mind that Jules Chauvet loved beauty and the complexity of nature and that he said that he wanted to study nature in order to know what was needed to work with her rather than against her. It’s thus that he advised against the use of herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers which imbalance the life of the soil of our terroirs.
In effect a terroir is a relation of the delicate balance between man, the soil (composition, microclimate, exposition) the vine and the climate. The link between all this is the biomass, that is to say the microflora of yeasts and bacteria.
A soil that “ferments well” possesses aerobic and anaerobic bacteria which assure the nutrition of the plant in decomposing and transforming the organic substances and minerals so that they may be in assimilable form – this is fertility. Thus all the methods which will maintain and assure the perennial nature of this life, such as the different types of compost (manures, vegetable matter, etc.) and organic cultivation will be appropriate. Let’s remember that natural composts were utilized by the Cistercian monks of the Middle Ages as the lands they first worked possessed very meager and poor soils. These composts, animal and vegetal, acted as a leaven to bring life into the soils and to make them “ferment,” that is to create a reaction with the mineral substances and to transform them into a soil that is able to welcome the vine. This technique, used over the centuries, is the origin of our Burgundian terroirs.
Elsewhere, Chauvet showed in his studies on indigenous yeasts, that these had as their origin soils of great variety, as much in their organic and mineral composition as in their microclimates and topographies. The same techniques of cultivation which favor the perennial life of the vine in its terroir (plowing, organic farming, natural composting) preserve these yeast flora, qualitatively and quantitatively, to assure a transformation of the grape into wine conforming to its place of origin and vintage. Chauvet understood the negative impact of the utilization of pesticides in the vineyard and of sulfur dioxide in the cuverie on the yeast floras present on the grape skins. These products inhibit the action of the native yeasts, prohibiting them from delivering the sensory information unique to the terroir.
To have as a final product, a wine which possesses the most characteristics of the place from which it comes, it’s necessary to have a healthy and unique biomass. I would say that the main theme in all Chauvet’s work is how to make a wine of “pure origine”. The scientific publications of Chauvet enable us to most effectively use the biomass and the phenomena and mechanisms of fermentation, thus enabling the winemaker to most faithfully express the essence of his terroir. “Natural vinification” – It’s the wise, attentive and least interventionist accompaniment possible of the transformation of grape into wine.
His work on carbonic maceration demonstrated the utilization of whole grapes while covering the vat with carbon dioxide, which one is able to conduct according to the viticultural region and wines. Carbonic maceration was shown to be appropriate for the varieties Gamay and Grenache and semi-carbonic, that is to say with pumping over, for other varieties like Pinot Noir, Syrah, Mourvedre, Carignan, etc. Its’ effects on the extraction of fruit, thermic regulation of the alcoholic fermentation by the stems, and anaerobic prcesses within the grape that contribute to the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, etc., were also explored by Chauvet. And then his work on the fermentative yeasts; their origin, identification and role in the elaboration of aromas demonstrating the importance of indigenous yeasts to obtain wines having the organoleptic characteristics of the terroir from which they come. He demonstated to wine-makers and oenologists the essential role of native yeasts, their variability and qualities linked to an “organic” viticulture, in the production of complex and different aromas which confer to each terroir its’ unique sensory signature.
Chauvet’s publications posed the scientific basis for the vinification of red wines without addition of sulfur dioxide. In effect SO2 is by definition anti-fermentative – it interferes, disturbs and modifies the original information transcribed during fermentation and severely reduces the expression of terroir.
The entire theme dedicated to indigenous yeasts is eloquent on this subject: to make a wine of terroir, one must utilize the biomass (yeasts, bacterias, funghi, microbial life) existing in this terroir. The quality of these native yeasts, that is to say their biodiversity, is essentially tied to this notion of terroir. The different types of yeasts which succeed each other in the course of the alcoholic fermentation are thus a “key” which reveals to us the vineyard’s unique characteristics and typicity.
The processes of fermentation are energetic phenomena which change the physical/chemical state of the materials that undergo them and, for wine, those who drink it. This energy, which is information in movement accumulated during fermentation, provokes in us, as we drink a “real wine”, both sensory emotions and well-being, which go far beyond pleasure, and touch us and balance us, in the deepest manner, in our cells. In our modern epoch, when we consume more and more dead and artificial products which separate us from our true nature and affect our minds and our health, “real wine” is a source of life bringing us equilibrium and resonance with ourselves, others and our environment.
In conclusion, the last time I saw Jules Chauvet, in June of 1989, he said, to encourage me, “Monsieur Pacalet, make wine with beautiful aromas.” (Faites un vin avec un joli parfum)

Root and tuber crops (Crop Groups 1 and 2) consist of root crops, such as beets and carrots, and tuber crops, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the leaves of root crops, such as beet tops. Planted acres and values of these crop types are shown in Table 5. Details of growing areas and pests are given in the specific descriptions for each crop in this section. Representative crops in each Crop Group are designated by an asterisk.
BEETS – table. Most production of beets is in the Winter Garden under contract with commercial processors, with guidance from field managers to reduce pest losses. Spring planting starts in February; crops are harvested by May 1. Summer season is from August to November. Lower Rio Grand Valley provides early fresh market shipments; 50% is processed. High Plains produces for fresh market and pigment extraction. Common insect pests include root and foliar aphids, garden web worms, mites, loopers and stink bugs. Weeds include pigweed, sunflower, mustard, and winter annuals. Diseases include Botrytis, leaf spot, powdery mildew, Sclerotinia, curly top, mosaic virus complex, and root knot nematode.
BEET TOPS. Small acreage grown in LRGV for greens to fresh and processing markets. Pests are similar to those of table beets. Foliage quality and insects are the major concern.
CARROTSCARROTS. Texas is the fifth leading producer with 60% for fresh market and 40% for processing. Carrots are planted July to November with staggered harvest dates from November to May. One-third goes into “cello” (plastic bag) markets. “Baby carrots” are tips cut from jumbos or “cut baby carrots”. Some sequential production in WG and High Plains areas. Soil insect pests include carrot weevil, wireworms, grubs, and nematodes. Foliar pests are armyworms, leafhoppers, aphids, flea beetles, and mites. Weeds include mostly winter annual broadleaves: pigweed (most common), nutsedge (difficult to control), and dodder (entangles carrots and makes harvesting difficult). Diseases include damping off, Alternaria, leaf blight, Cercospora leaf blight, bacterial leaf blight, southern blight, powdery mildew, aster yellows, and root nematodes. See carrot crop profile or crop brief for more details on pesticides.
PARSNIPS. Grown similar to carrots but with a longer growing season in LRGV and WG areas for local fresh market sales. Diseases include bacterial blight and powdery mildew. Other pests similar to those of radish or turnip. In Europe, parsnip was an important carbohydrate for centuries.
POTATO-IRISH. Commercially produced April to July for early fresh market in the U.S.; 50% is white Russets for table stock (mostly from High Plains); 20% are red skins for fresh markets; and 20% for processing. East Texas noted for spring “new potatoes” from small acreages in sandy soil for local and roadside sales. High Plains harvest from July through September with adjacent production in eastern New Mexico. Total production varies from 18,000 to 32,000 acres. Texas A&M maintains the only potato breeding program in the South Central U.S. focusing on quality and host plant resistance, while Northern states provide seed stock to Texas for planting. Insect pests include wireworm, flea beetle, aphids, potato psyllid, thrips, leaf hopper, grasshoppers, spider mites, cabbage looper, Colorado potato beetle, and white grubs. Weeds include nutsedge, pigweed, purslane, sunflower, Russian thistle, morningglory, bermudasgrass, johnsongrass, Texas Panicum and field bindweed. Diseases include Botrytis, Fusarium wilt, late and early blight, scab, blackleg, southern blight, root knot nematodes, Verticillium wilt, and virus complex. Fungicide protection is essential some years.
TURNIP. Grown in East Texas with nearly year-round planting for roadside sales and home use. Insects include aphids, beetles, mites, imported cabbageworm, armyworm, and flea beetle. Diseases include black rot, powdery mildew, and Rhizoctonia root rot. Other pests are similar to those of radishes.
TURNIP GREENS. Grown in multiple plantings from fall to spring; 75% is for fresh market and sold to local groceries, roadside sales, and home use. Pests are similar to those of turnips and radishes, with emphasis on foliage quality.
RADISHES. Production of red globe types for in-state markets. Most production is in small successive plantings every 10 to 14 days in East Texas. Harvested early to avoid pithiness. One hundred acres of daikon (Oriental radish) is grown for local Asian markets. Insect pests include armyworms, beetles, root pests, and others. Glyphosate may be applied for winter annual weeds before planting for a “stale seedbed”. Diseases include white rust, Cercospora leaf spot, bacterial leaf spot, black root, and root knot nematode.
SWEET POTATO. Texas is the country’s fifth largest sweet potato producer. Commercial production is concentrated in Van Zandt County in East Texas. The sweet potato breeding program in Louisiana focuses on resistance to soil-borne insects. Sweet potato weevil is the most serious pest and quarantine programs restrict movement of seed stock. Other insect pests include spotted cucumber beetle, wire grub, wire worm, cutworms, leaf hoppers, loopers, hornworms, flea beetle, and white bugs. Weeds include annual grasses, and broadleaf weeds. Diseases include Rhizopus soft rot, scurf, southern blight, root knot nematode, and internal cork. See sweet potato crop profile for more details on pesticides.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TUBERS & ROOT CROPS
While all tubers are root crops, not all root crops are tubers. Tubers share some traits with root crops, but they differ physiologically. Nutritionists and governments consider both groups vegetables and important components of a balanced diet. Root crops and tubers provide carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients.
SIMILARITES BETWEEN ROOT CROPS AND TUBERS
Roots perform two primary functions. They absorb minerals and water from the soil to sustain plant growth. They also anchor the plant in place by providing a structural foundation. Root crops and tubers accomplish both these functions.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TUBERS AND ROOT CROPS
Tubers differ from root crops in three ways. Tubers are enlarged stems rather than enlarged roots. Cut up a tuber, and each section will grow a plant; root crops cannot do this. Tubers contain more starch than root crops.
Tubers and root crops form from different types of plant tissues. Even though a tuber grows underground, it is a type of specialized stem tissue that stores nutrients for the plant. A potato is actually an enlarged stem. Root crops derive from root tissue. Carrots are an enlarged tap root.
Root crops and tubers have a different kind of root structure. Root crops are tap roots. They are a single root that bores down into the soil like a carrot or parsnip. They can be a single rounded modified root like a beet. The key point being, root crops form one vegetable per stem. With tubers, a single plant can produce several tubers. A carrot plant will have one carrot, while a potato plant can produce several potatoes.
Root crops and tubers vary in their carbohydrate composition. Root crops contain more simple carbohydrates such as glucose. Tubers contain long chains of glucose called starch. Potatoes are an important food crop around the world because they contain large amounts of starch, a good source of energy for people’s metabolisms.
Plants store the energy in tubers for propagation. A cut up radish provides a snack; a cut up potato can grow more plants. Many ornamental plants can be propagated by cutting a portion of stem and sticking it in water. The stem will eventually grow roots. Potatoes are the same way. Slice a potato into several sections containing an eye. A new plant will grow from each section. Root crops cannot do this.
Both root crops and tubers offer abundant nutrition. Tubers offer loads of energy and vitamins. Root crops offer vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients. Carrots contain beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A which, according to the Mayo Clinic, is good for the eyes. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention lists the tubers yucca and jicama, as well as root crops horseradish and rutabaga, as high in vitamin C. | agronomy |

Following pastoral visits, fourteen orphans and their guardians began to visit St. Peter Orthodox Church. The small community were in support of the philanthropic ministry that the parish was beginning to conduct. Fr. Hezekiah and Pappadhia Irene started a feeding program from their own small garden and church members started providing food and clothes to the children. Since the beginning of the feeding program, six children became full-time boarders. A small dormitory was built, along with an administration building. Due to lack of bedding, the remaining eight children do not board at St. Peter's but is fed through the feeding program. Recently, crops of corn and beans were planted. The seedlings have germinated and are growing well. This is indeed a blessing and with God’s mercy, they will grow strong and be able to sustain the feeding program.
Following the goal of Orthodox Africa to become a self-sustaining mission, Fr. Hezekiah and Pappadhia determined that owning cows for milking and calving would be the best start to achieving self-sustainability. Through the support of Orthodox Africa donors and the local church, a small parcel of land, enough for two cows was purchased. Grass for the cows to feed on will be planted on the newly acquired land and a structure for the cows to be housed is partially built. Once it is completed; another cow will be able to be purchased. Step-by-step, St. Peter Orphanage and School are walking the road to self-sustainability. This has been possible only through the generosity and love of Orthodox Africa donors all across the world!
Recently Father Hezekiah held a “Mothers Seminar.” It was organized for all the churches in Kisii to teach them about self-reliance and the importance of giving offerings to the church. Please keep Pappadhia Irene’s mother in your prayers. She continues to be in the hospital with liver illness and is undertaking medication for the problem. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, rain comes to water the crops, laughter is heard as the children play and learn. Through His prophet Malachi, God said, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in!” Thank you, dear Orthodox Africa donors, for all of your support, both spiritual and financial. Without them Father Hezekiah, Pappadhia Irene, and the faithful of St. Peter Orthodox Church would not be able to do the work of the Lord! | agronomy |

I live 5 minutes away from the nearest supermarket.
Two sentences that really don’t belong together if you are a typical consumer in the big city. For many people the very idea of planting a seed in some soil and waiting for your dinner to grow seems ridiculous, especially when it is so much easier to just take it out of the freezer and pop it in the microwave for a couple of minutes. Why waste so much time, space and even money to grow a vegetable that you can buy quicker and cheaper in your local supermarket? Does it even make a difference if that carrot came from your garden or the fifth aisle on your right, next to the potatoes, opposite the cabbage?
To me it does make a difference and I find that growing your own fruits and vegetables is a great thing to do regardless of the fact that it may not be the most convenient. According to various professionals, surveys and studies it is definitely the healthiest, most eco-friendly thing to do. But, I’m not going to bore my readers with facts and statistics. Instead here are my non-scientific, not necessarily correct but none the less important reasons for growing your own fruits and vegetables:
1) It’s cool/wicked/sick…(whatever the kids are calling it these days)
I’m not an expert on the latest trends as they move too fast for me to follow but I’m sure that if I were to chase them they would lead me all the way to the vegetable plot in my garden. Growing your own food is cool. It’s not just something that loopy tree-hugging hippies do as a pastime. According to who? Well, that’s not important. According to me, our polluted planet and maybe even God, it’s cool. And if that’s not enough then I certainly wouldn’t mind being a tree-hugging hippie anyway.
2) Your celery stick doesn’t need a VISA
Our fridges are full of immigrants. The tomatoes are Spaniards, the green beans come from Egypt and the cucumber has lost its passport. It may sound like a kid’s nursery rhyme but it’s true. When we go shopping, my sister and I like to play this game called “guess the origin” and it’s really interesting to see just how few products were actually grown locally. Most of the fruits and vegetables that we put in our trolley have travelled hundreds of miles, using up lots of the Earth’s resources and emitting plenty of Carbon Dioxide.
3) They taste better (to you)
All men were created equal. All tomatoes on the other hand, weren’t. Freshly picked tomatoes, straight off the plant, taste a million times better than anything you can get off the shelves. They may not look as perfect or be all the same size but when it comes to taste, they win hands down. Some people may argue that it is not true; that there is no difference in taste but they are wrong. The difference between the shop tomatoes and your tomatoes is that you grew them yourself. It is the taste of satisfaction and pride that makes your tomatoes juicier and sweeter than anyone elses.
4) Something you can boast about
Yes, that’s one thing we all love to do; show off. When guests come over for dinner you can tell them of all the lovely fresh ingredients that are in their delicious soup before asking them smugly “do you grow your own?” . When their reply is negative you can then go on and on about the benefits of growing your own fruits and vegetables, annoying them with your holier-than-thou attitude. However, if they answer affirmative then “GAME ON!”. There’s nothing like a healthy bit of competition to bring people together. Who’s got the biggest turnips? Who’s got the tallest sweet corn? Have your strawberries ripened yet?
Of course I can appreciate that not everybody may be able to grow their own fruits and vegetables but if you can why not give it a go? It’s easy and requires very little skill. My mum started my family off last year with absolutely no clue of what she was doing and apart from maybe one or two mutant carrots it proved to be a success. Here are a few pictures of this year’s home-made vegetable garden if anyone needs a little inspiration. | agronomy |

Enter, the millets.
Near 97% of millets grown worldwide are produced in creating nations. Millets are a various group of cereal crops. Importantly, they often have excessive dietary content material.
“Nonetheless, millets have been largely ignored by trendy genetics analysis,” says Matthew Johnson, a researcher on the College of Georgia. In a brand new research, Johnson, together with colleagues in India, have produced a number of the first genetic assets for 3 completely different kinds of millets.
the crop household. This may result in the event of recent kinds of crops. 19 Our outcomes will give researchers instruments to develop higher nation varieties for farmers, ”says Johnson.
Most farmers who develop millets are smallholders (farming lower than 5 acres). Millets are essential for his or her livelihood.
“Millets additionally develop a lot faster than most different main crops,” says Johnson. That’s necessary as a result of farmers can disrupt the plant. 19 So, with millets, the farmers can no less than get some harvest, ”he says.
Johnson's group sequenced and analyzed DNA from three species of millets – kodo, little and proso. 19 These are three crops which have had comparatively few assets developed for them, ”Johnson explains.
The plant supply supplies have been obtained from the Worldwide Crops Analysis Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics in India. The researchers ’the aim is to raised perceive the genetic variety. “Understanding this variety is a vital step in creating higher kinds of the crop,” says Johnson.
They uncovered tiny variations within the DNA sequences of the varied vegetation. Little Millet ” width=”777″ peak=”408″ />
“Genetics and area testing go hand-in-hand,” says Johnson. Rising completely different sorts of millets can present details about yield and flowering time, amongst different traits. 19 We have to pair these outcomes with the information of the nation's vegetation, ”he says.
By collating area outcomes and genetic information, researchers determine desired traits and develop improved varieties. 19 We are able to proceed to enhance these varieties yr after yr, ”says Johnson.
19 We have been capable of finding proof that the earlier understanding of how the nation was associated to one another didn’t all the time replicate their genetics, ”Johnson explains.
The present classifications have been primarily based on bodily traits.
“Consider it as attempting to categorise genetic relationships amongst people by hair coloration,” he says. Colour Hair coloration is genetically managed.
Johnson However there’s a lot extra than simply hair coloration that determines who we’re about to genetically, ”says Johnson. “Typically siblings can have a distinct hair coloration. Nonetheless, they are going to be extra carefully associated to one another. 19
Uncovering the underlying genetics, as on this research, might help plant breeders develop nation varieties with desired bodily traits. “Millets are an ideal crop,” says Johnson. Plant I consider they will diversify our weight loss plan and contribute to meals sources and safety. 19

SINGAPORE/TOKYO, May 30 (Reuters) – A strain of genetically modified wheat found in the United States fuelled concerns over food supplies across Asia on Thursday, with major importer Japan cancelling a tender offer to buy U.S. grain.
Other top Asian wheat importers South Korea, China and the Philippines said they were closely monitoring the situation after the U.S. government found genetically engineered wheat sprouting on a farm in the state of Oregon.
The strain was never approved for sale or consumption.
Asian consumers are keenly sensitive to gene-altered food, with few countries allowing imports of such cereals for human consumption. However, most of the corn and soybean shipped from the U.S. and South America for animal feed is genetically modified.
“We will refrain from buying western white and feed wheat effective today,” Toru Hisadome, a Japanese farm ministry official in charge of wheat trading, told Reuters.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Wednesday said the wheat variety was developed years ago by biotechnology giant Monsanto Co. It was never put into use because of worldwide opposition to genetically engineered wheat.
Wheat, long known as the staff of life, is the world’s largest traded food commodity and it is used in making breads, pastries, cookies, breakfast cereal and noodles.
Asia imports more than 40 million tonnes of wheat annually, almost a third of the global trade of 140-150 million tonnes. The bulk of the region’s supplies come from the United States, the world’s biggest exporter, and Australia, the No. 2 supplier.
The USDA said there was no sign that genetically engineered wheat had entered the commercial market, but grain traders warned the discovery could hurt export prospects for U.S. wheat.
“Asian consumers are jittery about genetically modified food,” said Abah Ofon, an analyst at Standard Chartered Bank in Singapore. “This is adding to concerns that already exist on quality and availability of food wheat globally.”
In 2006, a large part of the U.S. long-grain rice crop was contaminated by an experimental strain from Bayer CropScience, prompting import bans in Europe and Japan and sharply lowering market prices. The company agreed in court in 2011 to pay $750 million to growers as compensation.
BUYERS CAUTIOUS, SEEK DETAILS
A major flour miller in China, which has been stocking U.S. wheat in recent months, said importers will tread carefully.
China has emerged as a key buyer of U.S. wheat this year, taking around 1.5 million tonnes in the past two months. Chinese purchases in the year to June 2014 are estimated to rise 21 percent to 3.5 million tonnes, according to the USDA, with most shipments coming from the United States, Australia and Canada.
Japan’s Hisadome said the government has asked U.S. authorities to provide more details of their investigation and Japan will stop buying the wheat concerned, at least until a test kit is developed to identify genetically modified produce.
There is no U.S.-approved test kit to identify genetically engineered wheat. The USDA has said it is working on a “rapid test” kit.
The Philippines, which buys about 4 million tonnes of wheat a year and relies mainly on U.S. supplies, is waiting for more details from the USDA before acting, an industry official in Manila said.
An agriculture ministry source in South Korea said the government is reviewing the discovery, adding the country thoroughly inspects products from the United States as part of safety checks.
“I won’t be surprised if other countries start cancelling or reducing their purchases of U.S. wheat, particularly Asian countries, putting pressure on wheat demand,” said Joyce Liu, an investment analyst at Phillip Futures in Singapore.
The benchmark Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures eased half a percent on Thursday after rallying in the previous session.
Genetically modified crops cannot be grown legally in the United States unless the government approves them after a review to ensure they pose no threat to the environment or to people.
Monsanto entered four strains of glyphosate-resistant wheat for U.S. approval in the 1990s but there was no final decision by regulators because the company decided there was no market.
The St. Louis-based firm downplayed the incident in a statement posted on its website. “While USDA’s results are unexpected, there is considerable reason to believe that the presence of the Roundup Ready trait in wheat, if determined to be valid, is very limited,” it said.
Still, importers are not in a position to shun wheat from the United States, which accounts for about a fifth of the global supplies, analysts and industry officials said.

There is currently a nation-wide shortage of real Christmas trees. The main cause is the lack of trees planted 6 to 10 years ago. It takes about 8 years to grow a tree from a seedling. Ten to 14 years ago there was a surplus of Christmas trees which caused many tree farms to go out of business. Therefore, fewer seedling were put in the field. The resulting shortage of mature trees will likely continue for 2 more years.
Fortunately, we have about 400 saleable trees here at the farm. Also we will be bringing in many trees from a friend’s farm near Roan Mountain, TN. In addition to the Fraser firs we usually get from him, we will also have Nordmann fir, Concolor fir, Serbian spruce, and Colorado blue spruce. NOTE: we will not be able to cut and bring to the farm these Concolors, Nordmanns, Serbians and blues until after Thanksgiving (around Dec 4th.)
We will be accepting credit cards again this year. Hopefully this makes life easier for some customers.

It only takes a minute to sign up.
It looks like either cucumber melon (which I grew this year and tried to grow in 2015) or cymbal in color, dark stripes and leaves. The two eggplants are related, but the eggplant leaves are usually (if not always) wider and larger than what I see in the picture. Pepino melons are usually (but not always) bigger and longer than cimbalom, but it’s hard to tell from your picture which is which. I personally think it looks like a cucumber melon because of the color, the lack of shine and the shape of the leaves.
What Is This Fruit Called
Spots on the leaves seem to have spider mites on the plant. Mine had spider mites in 2015. If you have spider mites, watering the plant with a shower nozzle on your hose every two or three days can help, at least if you live in a dry, arid climate.
Passion Fruit Names
Pepino melons are not watermelons, although some people think they taste like them. They belong to the genus Solanum of the nightshade family.
It looks like a small aubergine (aubergine to the British), probably not yet ripe. (Credit to the first Huangism in a comment.) Botanically it is a fruit (and a nightshade!!); A vegetable in the kitchen.
Note that eggplant leaves vary considerably. Here is a page (a photo showing the leaf and a “fruit”) where the leaves are IMHO similar to the one in the questioners photo: http://www.learn2grow.com/plants/solanum-melongena-listada- de- gandia-images-large- 20148/
To me it’s like a Mexican tomato. The tomato is a plant native to Mexico. Plant of tropical or warm climate.

In the late 18th century, British and French navigators introduced some non-Polynesian seed varieties to the Caribbean. Today it is grown in about 90 countries in South and Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, the Caribbean, Central America and Africa.
Its name derives from the texture of the moderately ripe cooked fruit, which resembles fresh bread and has a potato taste.
The trees are widely planted in tropical regions including the plains of Ctral America, Northern South America and the Caribbean.
How To Peel And Eat Cactus Fruit
In addition to the fruit that serves as a staple food in many cultures, the light and strong wood is used for bread, ships and houses in tropical areas.
The breadfruit tree is closely related to Artocarpus kamansi (seed or seedbread tree) in New Guinea, the Moluccas and the Philippines, Artocarpus blancoi (Tipolo or Antipolo) in the Philippines, and Artocarpus mariensis (sometimes, all) in Micronesia. It is also known as “bread fruit”. It is closely related to rubber.
Large, thick leaves cut into deeply pinnate lobes. All parts of the tree yield latex,
Monocots are trees in which male and female flowers grow on the same tree. The male flowers come out first, followed by the female flowers. The latter develop in capitula, which are capable of pollination after three days. Pollination is mainly by fruit flies, but cultivated varieties produce fruit without pollination.
Passion Fruit: Nutrition, Benefits, And How To Eat It
The compound, false fruit develops from a swollen perianth, and 1,500 to 2,000 flowers arise as hexagonal discs on the skin of the fruit.
Breadfruit is one of the highest yielding food plants, producing up to 200 or more grapefruit-sized fruits per season from a tree that requires limited care. In the South Pacific, trees bear 50 to 150 fruits per year, usually round, oval or oblong, weighing 0.25–6 kg (0.55–13.23 lb).
Productivity varies between wet and dry regions. Studies in Barbados indicate a reasonable intake of 15–30 tons per hectare (6.7–13.4 short tons/acre).
The ovoid fruit has a rough surface, and each fruit is divided into several achenes, each achene surrounded by a fleshy perianth and grow into a fleshy receptacle. Most selected varieties have seedless fruits, while the seed varieties are grown mainly for their edible seeds.
Two Recipes With Quince
Breadfruit has hundreds of cultivars and thousands of common names that vary according to its geographical distribution, and is grown in about 90 countries.
The closely related Artocarpus camansii is A. It can be distinguished from Altilis by having spiny fruits with many seeds. Artocarpus mariensis can be distinguished by its elongated dark gray fruits with dark yellow flesh and layered or shallow leaves.
Bread is mainly propagated by seed, although bread without seeds can be propagated by grafting cuttings that grow from the roots of the surface of the tree.
The roots can be injured intentionally to induce the growth of the saps, which are separated from the root and planted in a pot or transplanted directly into the ground.
Durian. The King Of Fruit.
The sugar cuttings are placed in plastic bags containing a mixture of soil, peat and sand and kept in the shade while watering with liquid fertilizer. Place the transplant in the sun until it is time to plant in the garden, that the roots have developed.
For mass propagation, root cuttings are preferred with sections about 10 cm (2 in) thick and 20 cm (9 in) long.
Young trees 60 cm (2 ft) tall are ready for planting and can take up to 5 months to root.
According to DNA fingerprinting studies, the ancestor of wild breadfruit seeds is the breadnut (Artocarpus camansii), native to New Guinea, the Moluccas and the Philippines. It was one of the canoe plants that Austronesian travelers spread to Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia about 3,000 years ago.

A. Kamansi were domesticated and selectively bred in Polynesia. Micronesian bread also shows evidence of hybridization with the native Artocarpus marianensis, while most Polynesian and Melanesian varieties do not. This suggests that Micronesia was initially separated from Polynesia and Melanesia and colonized by two distinct migration routes, which later came into contact with each other in eastern Micronesia.
Bread is a kind of equatorial plain. It has spread from its Pacific source to many tropical regions.
In 1769, Joseph Banks was stationed in Tahiti as part of the Devour Expedition commanded by Captain James Cook.
The late 18th century search for a cheap, high-energy food source for slaves in the British colonies prompted colonial administrators and plantation owners to bring bread to the Caribbean . As president of the Royal Society, Banks was awarded a silver and gold medal for this victory in Devour and was successful for a British naval expedition. After an unsuccessful voyage to the South Pacific to collect plants in 1791 in command of HMS Bounty, William Bligh led a second expedition with provisions and assistants that collected seedless breadfruit plants in Tahiti and transported them to St. Hela in the Atlantic. St. Vincent and Jamaica in the West Indies.

The plant grows best below 650 m (2,130 ft) elevation, but occurs up to 1,550 m (5,090 ft). The preferred soil is neutral to alkaline (pH 6.1-7.4), sand, sandy clay, loam or sandy clay. Bread can grow in coral sand and saline soils. The breadfruit tree is tropical, requiring temperatures of 16–38 °C (61–100 °F) and annual rainfall of 2,000–2,500 mm (80–100 in).
Bread is 71% water, 27% carbohydrates, 1% protein and very little fat (see table). Per 100 g, raw bread is a rich source of vitamin C (35% of the daily value, DV), a moderate source of thiamine and potassium (10% DV each), and no other nutrients.

Bread is a staple food in many tropical regions. Most breadfruit varieties bear fruit all year round. Ripe and unripe fruits have culinary uses; Unripe bread is baked before eating.
Pungent Fruit Hi Res Stock Photography And Images
Before eating, the fruits are fried, baked, fried or boiled. Baked bread, moderately ripe, has a taste similar to potatoes or fresh bread.
Because breadfruit trees usually produce large crops at certain times of the year, the preservation of the harvested fruit can be a problem. A traditional method of preservation is to bury the peeled and washed fruits in a pit with leaves, where they ferment for several weeks to form a sour and sticky paste. So stored, the product can last a year or more, and some pits are reported to have produced edible cones more than 20 years later.
In addition to being eaten raw, the bread can be ground into flour and the seeds cooked.
Seedless bread is found in Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia, where it is called sukun. It is usually fried and eaten as a snack. Fried bread

Technologies generated through research are fitted into existing practices by commercial firms and well organized extension services. On the other hand, technologies generated through research cannot easily be imparted to small scale farming as the small farms are complex in organization.
A typical small holder keeps livestock (chickens, goats, sheep, cattle or pigs), grows his own food crops and grows cash crops. If he is to progress he needs all types of technologies e.g. animal husbandry, crop production and grain storage. Attempts to develop one subsector will results in imbalances. An example is an emphasis in cash crop production during the colonial periods resulted in neglect of food crops and livestock. A combined approach would have averted imbalances. In addition to this, one finds that even within one crop there is a need to combine several disciplines. If one considers a research programme on the introduction of a new maize variety scientists have to test for adaptability, disease resistance, nutrient and water requirements, day length, weeds, pests, milling quality and technological suitability.
NATIONAL ASPIRATIONS: AGRICULTURAL PERSPECTIVES
Without exception all countries desire to be “self-supporting” in food production and avoid depending on other countries. While many countries cannot produce all types of foods required due to agro ecological limitations it is preferred that a country should not be a net-importer of foods as importations cost scarce foreign exchange and dependency on food imports exposes the country to possible external manipulations. Malnutrition Is common in developing countries and many countries wish to improve the nutritional levels through increased supplies of foods and better quality foods.
National resources should inevitably be directed towards this. In the course of industrialization, developing countries logically start with agricultural processing industries and this inevitably creates a demand for specific raw materials. It is only through sustained production of raw materials that the
Industries can run. Agriculture has to produce export crops to earn foreign exchange which can be used to sustain agriculture and other industries. Initial capital for industries and infrastructural development also arise mainly from agricultural exports. The majority of the people in developing countries are engaged in agriculture and governments’ aspiration is for increased productivity and improvement of the living standards or rural people.
Apply where and when it is needed most
Our seeds and crop protection products increase yield, productivity and profit, and reduce risks by supporting farmer control over where and when a product is needed most.
AGRICULTURAL EXPLORATION: OUR OBJECTIVES
The contribution agricultural exploration makes in ensuring that the national aspirations are met is in the generation of technologies. In drawing up the objectives aimed at generating technologies the following stages are involved:
1) Understanding of the status quo
2) Identification of the problems,
3) Defining explicitly the problems and
4) Suggestion of alternative solutions which are experimented on.
The objectives are very specific, therefore the
General objectives listed below are intentionally not detailed.
⦁ To increase productivity per production unit. The production unit can be a crop or an animal on a unit land. In the cause of Increasing productivity it also aimed at increasing the efficiency of utilization of Inputs of labour, energy, fertilizer, animal feed, pesticides/fungicides, water for irrigation, etc. Ultimately increase food supplies and incomes and raise standards of living.
⦁ To determine optimum levels and combinations of inputs for economic returns.
⦁ To stabilize the agricultural and related industries through long term strategy e.g. droughts, bird invasions, locust invasions, crop/animal breeding programs, marketing, germ plasm storage, range monitoring, employment generation, raw material supplies for the industries, inputs for manufacturing industries.
⦁ To improve the quality of agricultural products such as protein quality, flavour, processing quality, presence of toxins and other consumer preferences.
⦁ To solve imminent catastrophes e.g. new insect pest, outbreak of a new cattle disease, toxins in stored products, breakdown of vaccines etc.
FACTORS WE CONSIDER IN SELECTING OUR FOCUS
National goals and priorities:
⦁ Short and long term objectives.
⦁ Urgency of the research.
⦁ Neglected areas but of national significance.
⦁ Our proposals always fall within the existing national research goals and priorities. If there are no exploration priorities set we extrapolate from national agricultural policy and priorities or development plans.
Importance of the commodity to be considered in form of absolute and relative contribution to:
⦁ The agricultural industry.
⦁ The gross national product (GNP).
⦁ The farmers’ income.
⦁ The food supplies.
⦁ The foreign exchange earnings.
⦁ The foreign exchange savings.
⦁ Production of raw materials to the industries. Data can be obtained from central statistical units on the above. Emphasis should be placed on commodities which contribute significantly.
Productivity of the commodity:
⦁ Productivity per unit area
⦁ Value of product per unit area
⦁ Value of product per inputs as resources of land, labour and other inputs are scarce, commodities with higher outputs per unit area or inputs are likely to be more beneficial.
Likely of the utilization of the results:
⦁ ease of adoption of technology by small farmers
⦁ social implications
⦁ Potential productivity increment per unit area or animal unit.
⦁ Value of the product increment
⦁ Contribution to nutritional needs
⦁ Value of required inputs to be imported.
⦁ Handling, storage, processing, marketing of products
⦁ Employment generation
⦁ Environmental impacts
Personnel – scientific, and support
⦁ Facilities — laboratories, field stations
⦁ Equipment – scientific and field
Our Agricultural production statistics levels, trends, contribution to GNP and export emphasis on relevant areas in;
(i) Livestock option: Livestock populations, distribution and growth rate livestock production (beef, milk, and mutton), total production indices reproduction rates, growth rate, milk production, mortality, market off take.
(Ii) Crops Option: Crop production statistics per unit area and relative importance of various crops in several ecological zones.
(iii) Post-harvest Option: Present patterns of staple food production and consumption (quantity). Present system of handling, storage and processing of earmarked staples and food preferences.
Agricultural exploration benefits
⦁ Employment opportunities as more Nigerians will be engaged in the expanded agricultural sub-sector activities.
⦁ Poverty reduction through import substitution.
⦁ Conservation of scarce foreign exchange is achieved and this is ploughed into other sectors of our socio-economic life. Reduction in rural urban migration as more people get engaged in farming, input supply and food processing in the rural areas will increase drastically. Life in the rural area will become more meaningful as it will compare with the comforts of urban cities. | agronomy |

Libertad, Maasin City, Southern Leyte.
Following the prescribed health protocols, around 20 farmers from different barangays of Maasin City participated during the three-day training. Representatives from the City Agriculture and Fishery Council of Maasin and the Provincial Agricultural Services Office—Southern Leyte were also present to extend technical assistance and other support on the conduct of the activity.
Technical personnel of the DA-RFO 8 through its Corn Program/Cassava Project served as resource persons of the production technology training. Some of the topics discussed include cultural management techniques on cassava production, insect pests and diseases and its control, harvesting and post-harvest operations.
Aside from the lecture, the participants were also given the opportunity to experience the actual field work. In the demonstration site of the barangay, the farmers practiced the recommended technology guide on land preparation and planting methods, followed by fertilizer application. The cassava cuttings used for the training were the planting materials produced from the cassava model farm established in Malitbog Satellite Station.
Gemma B. Maco, one of the participants from Brgy. Pansaan, Maasin City, said she was able to learn new farming technologies on a par with traditional practices. Other participants shared their concerns during the open forum, particularly on marketing and other government support. It was also learned that the production technology training was part of the support on the establishment of the cassava model farm project in the said city.
The National Corn Program of the Department of Agriculture introduced the cassava model farm project in 2018 to address the increasing demand on cassava for food and feeds, and to encourage other regions to increase production yield of the said crop. The project specifically aimed to increase productivity of at least 20 metric tons per hectare, reduce production costs through farm mechanization, and produce quality cassava tubers and planting materials.
The City Agriculture Office of Maasin identified the cassava farmers who shall participate in the establishment of the model farm having the target area of 30 hectares. Cassava planting materials, fertilizers and other inputs shall be provided by the regional field office.
Aside from that, the farmer-cooperators shall also be part of the upcoming activity on Bayanihan Agri Clusters which highlights the advantages of clustering and consolidation approach where organized farmers can avail support and investments, better market access, and benefits from economies of scale. | agronomy |

The state will not allocate additional money for this purpose, but we will do something ourselves, and part of it will come from the East. We don’t even know if the price of fertilizer will be lower, no one can say that now. We will try everything we can, and only from Russia, we should receive about 100,000 tons of nitrogen fertilizer.
This was stated for “Novosti” by the Minister of Agriculture Branislav Nedimović, after the meeting in Požarevac, with the representatives of several associations, due to the high price of artificial fertilizer. Farmers previously announced a protest and warned the authorities of a possible “catastrophic situation in agriculture in the coming months.”
– I informed the farmers that the state will provide enough nitrogen fertilizer for everyone, and we will know the price at the end of December or the beginning of January – Nedimović told us. – We will see from several sides, because not everything can come from one side. We have good friends even among the uneducated. Among other countries, we will procure large quantities from Russia. The part will be produced in “Azotara”, they promised us that.
According to Minister Nedimović, there should be no problems with spring feeding of wheat. The most important thing for us now is to have artificial fertilizer, because it is nowhere to be found:
– The farmers I talked to are satisfied and now we are just waiting for the price. Urea is currently around 104, and KAN 76 dinars per kilogram. Large factories produce with 50 percent capacity, and many countries have banned the export of nitrogen fertilizers, except for those countries with which they are good. We are among them.
In less than a year, artificial fertilizers in Serbia have risen in price by more than 100 percent. More than 105 dinars should be set aside for a kilogram of urea, and there is a shortage of government. Last year, at this time, about 40 dinars should have been set aside for a kilogram.
The drastic increase in the prices of artificial fertilizers was caused mostly by the price of gas, and a number of factories were closed. It is not a consolation for farmers in Serbia, especially since there is a good part of the stocks, which are made at the old price of gas. Nedimović also stated that Serbia was preparing for a record price of fertilizers. He announced that there are tools with which he will react and that they are already doing that. There should be enough fertilizer in the next month to feed the wheat.
SERBIA WOULD ALSO HAVE DAMAGE
THE PRESIDENT of the National Association of Farmers of Serbia, Jovica Jaksic, is satisfied with the conversation with the Minister. As he says, it is important for them that urea is on the market until January 15. It is used from late January to early April. We are in a big deficit with nitrogen fertilizer. The current price is some 1,000 euros per ton, and we expect it to be a bit cheaper.
– Serbia would also suffer from that, because we are large exporters of corn, and the yields would be drastically lower for wheat and other crops – said Jaksic.

Having dwelled much on Drought tolerant crops production and poultry keeping in the previous year, this year we have decided to put much focus on trees production and soil and water conservation. Our field officers have taken advantage of this dry season to introduce participants to Agro forestry, its importance, and how to establish nursery beds and putting seedlings into tubes.
We are happy because participants have embraced this project more than we anticipated and are ready to participate in it. We have also realized that it is not the first time they are being introduced to Agroforestry because other organizations that operated in Lomut, Batei and Masol wards before us introduced this knowledge to farmers but only few embraced it. Participants are delighted and are working hard to ensure that just like agronomy, they get knowledge and skills in Agro forestry.
Our Field Officer Lomut Ward pointed out that he is amazed by how participants show up for trainings earlier and leave late. New members have also come out to join the groups just to acquire knowledge and prepare seedling that they will be planting in their individual farms when it starts to rain. | agronomy |

Thursday, August 5, 2010
NEW DELHI - Fruit and vegetable sellers in the Azadpur agriculture produce market - the largest in Asia - went on strike Thursday to protest a recent Delhi High Court judgment which will raise the price of their service and make the goods costlier for the public.
The court ruling induces the sellers to charge six percent commission from purchasers - the retailers and general buyers. Till now, this cost was being borne by the farmers who came to sell their stock.
“We will wait for three or four days and if our demands are not met, we will go on an indefinite strike. Moreover, in 22 other states also, it is the farmer who is paying this charge,” said Metharam Kriplani, president, Chamber of Azadpur Fruits and Vegetables Traders.
“This regulation will increase the prices of commodities by 6 percent in Azadpur mandi and the end consumer will have to pay around 15 to 20 percent more,” he added.
The ruling came after the Delhi High Court agreed June 2 to Himachal Pradesh Agriculture Marketing Board’s plea of terming the charge as illegal.
The market in north Delhi, spread over nearly 44 acres, has over 3,600 commission agents and wholesalers and has become a natural distribution centre for fruits like apples, bananas, oranges, mangoes and vegetables like potato, onion, garlic and ginger. | agronomy |

The Laboratory of Ancient Food and Farming (LAFF) is a paleoethnobotanical lab located at Binghamton University and directed by Professor BrieAnna Langlie. The lab was established by Langlie in 2017.
We are dedicated to understanding the co-evolutionary relationship between people, plants, and landscapes. The very survival of humans is dependent up on plants for food, medicine, and shelter. Yet we also transform plants into culturally charged objects for use in sacred and profane contexts. Using the archaeological residues of food and farming as data, we seek to answer questions such as: Why did we start farming in the first place? How has plant breeding changed the crops we eat? How do the plants we eat change our society? What does the study of plants tell us about rituals in the past?
As a paleoethnobotany lab, we study plant residues from archaeological contexts. We have the facilities for the analysis of macrobotanical remains, or remains that can be seen with the naked eye, and we are setting up for microbotanical remains starch grain analysis, and phytolith analysis. With data from these analyses, we can elucidate an array of information from archaeological sites including past human plant use, crop breeding, cuisine preference and performance, medicine, drink, sociopolitical relationships including markers of status, and past environmental change. Read on to learn more.

To be an industry leader, that is economically successful and socially responsible, by using sustainable and regenerative farming methods.
How are we going to do all of this we can hear you asking?
No trimmed beaks or clipped wings
Our ladies do not have trimmed beaks or clipped wings. WesEggs hens have the freedom to exhibit their natural behaviour of scratching and foraging for insects, wings flapping and dust batheing. A natural high protein diet, not only improves the health and happiness of the hen, but also the egg quality.
We have a number of Alpaca’s. They are our fierce flock protectors. WesEggs hens have the freedom from fear and distress. Alpacas are incredibly alert to any person or animal that is approaching his paddock, he considers the paddock his territory. Having said this, alpacas are a very gentle animal. However, it is his instinct to rid his paddock of any predators, this includes – foxes, eagles and kangaroos. When the alpaca spots danger, he will emit a piercing scream, spit at them (nobody likes to be spat at!) and chase them off the land. If the predator persists the alpaca will stamp at or on them. This is usually enough to stop the return. PHEW! Our ladies are safe!
Sustainable farming methods
Our farming methods are extensive by definition and are highly focused on sustainable and regenerative farming practices. This means that the production of our eggs uses farming techniques that improve the environment, protect public health, human communities and animal welfare.
We are a 100% chemical and toxin free zone! We will not degrade soil, waterways or any other natural resource. We treat our hens with care and respect, our hens are pasture raised and free to roam.
Mobile hen houses
WesEggs hens are housed in open style hen houses, essentially, this means they are never locked up. The sheds are moved around our farm in a process called “cell grazing” every 7 days. Our alpacas also help to keep the pasture down to a level which allows the hens to forage and search for all the natural offerings, the hens also provide natural pasture improving fertiliser. This allows the pasture to be grazed, disturbed and then rested for a period of time. This grazing and rest cycle is pivotal in our regenerative pasture management.
Wes is an industrial automation electrician and as well as chickens, has a passion for process automation. So, WesEggs uses the latest technology in our mobile houses to monitor not only the health of the ladies but to provide up to date information on environmental conditions. Our hens have freedom from pain, injury and disease, by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment. Automated hen houses assist us in ensuring this happens. | agronomy |

Our starter kit has everything you need for any new farm or greenhouse installation. Depending on the type of your crop, we suggest getting the appropriate length of probes. As a rule of thumb, the sensor length needs to reach past the crop root level. The device length 30/60/90 notation indicates how deep the sensor is going into the soil. In addition, the sensor neck is an additional 55cm. That makes a 30cm probe to be a total of 85cm, 60cm to be 115cm and 90cm to be 145cm respectively.
This order includes:
- Sensor bundle of your choice
- 1 Installation auger of selected length
- GPS - The sensor is able to know its location once a week. In the future, a software update might enable the GPS sensors, to be more location aware.
Orders of multiples of 4pcs are sent in 4 slot boxes. 4 sensor boxes are more efficient in terms of shipping hence the price per unit is lower.

Fiona, who has worked with Matt Thomson for a number of years, supplements her own grapes with fruit from other growers in Marlborough and Hawkes Bay. The tinpot hut that gave its name to Fiona?s brand is an old mustering hut in the remote hills between the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. These huts were used as a base for musterers as they rounded up the sheep that had been in the hills from spring to autumn. The name links Marlborough?s past as a sheep farming centre with its current state as one of the world?s most dynamic wine regions.
Two different clones of Syrah sourced from a single vineyard site in Hawkes Bay in the subregion of Dartmoor from some of the oldest Syrah vines planted in New Zealand. Ripening late into the autumn this site benefits from slightly higher altitude allowing warm days and cool nights to concentrate flavours and ripen tannins without fruit shrivel and loss of acidity. Planted on an ancient river terrace, the soils have a silt top soil overlaying stone mixed with some clay and silt loam allowing good drainage and proving very good at growing a more restrained elegant and aromatic style of Syrah. For the first time they also sourced fruit from the Gimblett Gravels region along SH50. The unique gravel soils here, give power and structure to the wines.

Gardening has many health benefits. Not only does it provide a great way to get some exercise and fresh air, but your garden can produce healthy and nutritious food that you can enjoy for many months to come. Depending on your local climate, there are a variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs that can thrive in your garden. If you’re unsure, visit your local garden center to talk to an expert about what might do well in your area. Here are a few suggestions to consider for your garden as well as ideas to incorporate them into your diet (each plant includes a link to growing tips from The Old Farmer’s Almanac):
- Blackberries tend to grow easily and do well in many climates. Try them in smoothies or desserts.
- Green beans do not need to be started indoors, making them a great choice to start outside now.
- Basil is a tasty addition to many dishes and grows well in summer, especially next to tomatoes. Add some to your baked chicken, a caprese salad or your green beans. It’s even great in lemonade!
- Cucumbers are hardy but do best in warm weather. These are great in salads or as a snack with other fresh cut veggies.
- Lettuce can be planted continuously throughout the spring and fall, ensuring you have plenty for salads all season long. Use it to top off your sandwich or make a lettuce wrap as a healthy taco alternative.
- Squash offers a number of varieties to choose from, and they tend to have particular seasons in which they do best. If you choose a summer squash like zucchini, the skin is edible! Try it in nachos or mixed into burgers! They can even go straight on the grill during summer cookouts.
- Tomatoes are a very popular choice with many varieties to choose from. They grow easily and often produce a lot of fruit (yes, tomatoes are technically a fruit!), from just a few plants. Tomatoes have a starring role in pizza, salads, and more.
Here are a few tips to help you get started with your garden this season, and don’t forget safety first! The CDC offers some advice to make sure you reap all the benefits of gardening and avoid any risks. Happy gardening and bon appetite!

Organic Urban Yardening! We started yardening (yard gardening) in 2014 with a tiny 3x3 raised bed and a few vegetables that grew rather poorly.
That little raised bed was the beginning of our journey towards food security. Today we have transformed our yard into a yarden with over 40 types of fruits and vegetables.
We use a wide variety of growing mediums and methods, and we are always looking to try a new way to increase our food harvest.
Our mission is to inspire and encourage individuals and families of all levels of experience and ability to move away from store bought produce and begin growing their own far superior fruits and vegetables. | agronomy |

So what are potatoes and are they good for your dog?
What are potatoes?
Potatoes are a root vegetable, which provide starchy carbohydrate. In petfood, potatoes are often used as an alternative to grains such as rice or barley.
Are potatoes and sweet potatoes the same?
Potatoes and sweet potatoes are from different plant families; with potatoes belonging to the Solanaceae (nightshade) family which includes peppers and tomatoes. Sweet potatoes belong to the Convolvulaceae family. They are however both tubers, which means they are an enlarged area of the root used as an energy source by the plant. Nutritionally they are very similar, with both acting as a good source of carbohydrates for energy. They only contain a low level of protein but this can be extracted in the juice and concentrated up to give a novel protein source for pet foods. They also provide some vitamins and minerals!
To cook or not to cook?
You should only ever feed your dog cooked potato. Raw potatoes are very poorly digested and unripe ones contain toxic compounds, glycoalkaloids, which are present in the stem, leaves and skin, and particularly in green potatoes. Consult your vet if your dog has consumed unripe green potatoes or the plant itself. James Wellbeloved offers a range of tempting grain free options for dog and cats which include white potatoes as an alternative source of energy. To ensure the safety of our ingredients, deliveries of potato are routinely analysed by an accredited external laboratory to ensure that glycoalkaloids are well below recognised safety levels.

For more than 35 years, Paul C. Hsu has supplied the world with the highest quality ginseng products available. We farm more than 1000 acres of prime ginseng land in Central Wisconsin. What was originally founded as a small mail-order business sending ginseng products to family and friends, has now developed into an international enterprise with offices around the world and offering a wide array of high quality health products.
GINSENG & COMPOST
In the early 1990s, Paul began farming ginseng in its native setting, the hardwood forest. A hundred years earlier, fur trappers and woodland foragers always spoke of the "leaf mold" that was needed to promote and protect ginseng plants. Using our own research along with some trial and error, we developed our commercial composting operations, as they exist today.
While using the leaf compost we developed as a vitamin for our own ginseng, we found an increased demand for high quality compost in the local consumer market. We certified our leaf compost products in 2001 through the United States Composting Council's Seal of Testing Assurance Program. At the time, it was one of only two products in Wisconsin to meet their standards.
Hsu is proud to supply the market with the highest quality composts and soils. We also custom manufacture soils and package private label products for customers throughout the Midwest. Our recycling services are known around the state, including various municipalities, waste management and landfill operations around Wisconsin.

In 2017, we brought Mycoapply to Kenya after we received all the permits and started experimenting statewide. We have tried this wonderful material for coffee and flower growers, vegetables and avocado trees, wheat and maize growers, all of whom have undoubtedly determined that this is almost divine material that has often saved crops in a drought or made them especially fertile at regular times, more than any other competitor.
And most importantly, it is not about genetic engineering or chemical, but a completely natural material, a fungus that is created in nature and helps it become more effective. | agronomy |

What I found was even much better. The place itself is breathtaking, a unique place worth visiting.
it is really worth saying that aquaponics is just one piece of the system they are running. Permaculture is the key word here, there are greenhouses for aquaponics, an orchard, chickens and turkeys are free range, a couple of cows mow and help to fertilize the land. Of course, everything is produced without the use of chemical pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Kevin and Monica were very welcoming and supportive and I was able to learn big deal working with Kevin and his workers. I came to learn about farming and they made me feel as a part of a big family.
Wishing that Doodley Dee´s Farm´products keeps helping the local community to have better and healthier food.
Besides the farm, they also have the venue, an excellent place to organize events, specially weedings!
Let me tell you: The farm landscape is gorgeous, a unique place if you are deciding to take the big step. During my time in the farm I saw two happy couples getting married here. The barn has a special atmosphere as well as it sourroundings. There is a fully furnished cabinet with 2 rooms and an appartment right next to the barn which where I stayed. The scenery from the balcony is marvelous: trees, the pond, a canal, and the sound of the birds. THIS is the place you wanna choose for that special day! | agronomy |
