The extent of the planting and the resulting yields would ensure the financial viability of the proposed extension to Lily Farm.
The settlement proposal couples the existing infrastructure of Lily Farm with an ensemble of buildings that provide for an anaerobic digester, hemp oil extraction, hemp fines production, a seasonal workers commune and a manager's house. The settlement is phased to allow for the establishment of an anaerobic digestion plant that uses cows' excrement to make electricity. The development is extended to facilitate the production of hemp products including bio-diesel, hemp board and hemp pellets for burning in the settlement's biomass boiler. | agronomy |

The alternative option of seeding is expensive and has an uncertain success rate. Therefore, the first thing a sod installer performs after surveying the ground condition is calculating how much does it cost to install sod in the given area.
If you want an affordable transformation of your backyard, lawn, or sports avenues, read to the end to get the most customized package.
A flourished lawn is a way to boost the value of your property with a minor investment. Builders and constructors use the strategy to get the maximum ROI compared to investment. The seeded lawn takes 2-3 years to mow a lawn evenly. However, Sod takes only 2-3 weeks to establish the roots, and the success rate is even higher than seeded lawns.
The self-installation of average sod cost per square foot is $0.30-$0.83. However, when performed by a professional, it costs $0.87 to $1.76 per square foot. The companies like Jax Sod are leading in installing sod with high-quality sod and efficient labor. You may find the most suitable packages for your exclusive sods.
Quality sod with a high success rate and premium look adds some percentage to your investment. However, it also adds value to your property, but quality sods are expensive compared to common sods. Bahia is the low cost, and St. Augustine is the most costly sod.
The coverage area also affects the cost of sod per square foot. The average price depends on the size that needs coverage. Almost half acre yard costs around $6000 to $13000, and labor of around $2000 to $7000 for installation. The mentioned rate may vary and depends on a few other factors. However, more enormous grounds, such as Sports Avenue and school grounds, get customized rates for well-defined dimensions.
The first step before installing sod is to prepare the land for sod installation. The land in Florida is good for the sod to establish when the soil is ready for it. The pre-installation process includes preparing the area for the roots, and the rate of the process’s speed depends on the land’s condition. Usually, cemented or floored ground takes more effort and labor. Eventually, it increases the rate per sq. ft. Some of the standard procedures include;
The location affects the overall cost of sod installation. Conveniently accessible site for delivery vehicles and labor reduces costs compared to hard-to-reach areas. Moreover, it also depends on the location distance from sod installation service centers.
Commercial sods are a bit expensive compared to residential sod installation services. Commercial locations are usually larger as compared to residential areas. Moreover, the sod in commercial areas is much more durable and low maintenance. The residential sods are generally high maintenance and give a softer look.
If you plan to install sod on your own, it will save you the cost of labor. The average budget of self-installation is less than outsourcing, yet its time and energy-consuming. Moreover, the option is only suitable for someone familiar with gardening and planting. Otherwise, you may end up with low yields or wilted sods.
Here is a quick overview of the DIY sod installation.
|Sod||$0.30- $0.80 Sq. Ft|
|Lawn Roller (Rental)||$14-$25|
|Sod Cutter (Rental)||$64-$150 Per day|
All the prices mentioned above may vary depending on the quality and seller.
When we answer “How much does it cost to install sod in FL,” the prices of sod installation significantly vary among different service providers. Self-service is not recommended as it will take time, time, and energy to install sod. Seeding lawns and yards are better if you are willing to do it yourself. However, outsourcing sod installation is a wise decision as it includes consultation and expertise of experienced sod installers and reduces the chances of failure or low yields.

By Abdallah el-Kurebe
A report released on Wednesday by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) has that although public research spending across the Sub-Saharan Africa has grown by more than 30 percent in real terms, from $1.2 billion in 2000 to $1.7 billion in 2011, African states should Double agriculture research spending.
It said that of this new growth in research funding, Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya had contributed by half.
“Sub-Saharan Africa needs to double its investment in agricultural research to meet the challenges of high population growth, climate change and deteriorating soils,” says the report.
According to IFPRI, of the 38 countries surveyed, 28 fell short of the minimum agricultural investment targeted by the African Union and the United Nations.
Nienke Beintema, one of the authors of the report titled: “Taking Stock of National Agricultural R&D Capacity in Africa South of the Sahara, said: “It is critical that African countries invest more in agricultural research to ensure that they can feed their populations.”
The report further observed that the quality of research in sub-Saharan Africa and the region’s food security “still suffer from underinvestment, inadequate human resource capacity, poor research infrastructure, and a lack of coherent policies.”
Even as the region’s public agricultural research capacity had increased by 50 percent during 2000-2011 to the equivalent of 14,500 full-time researchers, the report further observed that “the new capacity is not always enough to keep pace with increasing challenges.”
IFPRI stated that many of the most experienced researchers were approaching retirement and thereby causing concern for policy makers.
The report called for more training for female researchers in a region where majority of farmers were women. “More women researchers must be trained, and the large number of countries that spend less on research than recommended should note the clear link between new research spending and increased food production.”
If noted that while gender inclusion was improving, 10 of the 27 countries with applicable data, “recorded a decline in the proportion of female agricultural researchers for 2008-2011. The links between new money for research and increased food production are clear.
“From the mid-1990s, regional agricultural output grew at an average rate of 3.5 percent per year, compared with only 1.1 percent per year during 1971-1985, when less money was going to research,” the report further stated.

Weird and wonderful, plant DNA is challenging preconceptions about the evolution of life, including our own species.
by Megan Scudellari
Today, with the advent of high-throughput sequencing, that legacy of firsts in the plant field is extending to genomics research. In the tens of millions of nucleic acids of familiar and not-so-familiar plant species—from fluffy, domesticated cotton to aquatic, carnivorous bladderwort—plant biologists are uncovering surprising principles about how genomes are organized and how they evolved.
In the last two years, researchers have stumbled upon some “mind-blowing” phenomena in plant genomics, including genomes so strange that “we didn’t think [they] could be like that,” says R. Keith Slotkin, a geneticist at Ohio State University. Examples include the peaceful coexistence of two different genomes in a single nucleus and the willy-nilly way plants swap genes among species. And just as with Hooke’s, Brown’s, and Mendel’s fundamental discoveries in plant biology, the bizarre behavior of plant genomes often applies to animals as well…

Over watering will kill the plant by drowning the roots, not allowing the soil to keep a good level of oxygen. The roots will get root rot and will eventually kill the plant.
Sign Of Over Watering
Unfortunately the signs of over watering are very similar to the signs of under watering. The plant will show signs of distress when the tips of the leaves start to turn brown. Do not react to this by watering it more thinking it is dry or under watered. When the plant is under watered the tips will also turn brown but it is usually accompanied by or preceded by limp and wilting leaves.
Testing Soil Moisture
The best way to figure out your watering frequency you should use the finger test. Stick your finger about 4 inches into the dirt. If it feels moist you do not need to do anything. Check it again at the same time of day each day until it feels almost dry about 4 inches into the dirt. If it is wet and it has been a few days since it last received water determine the cause of the poor drainage and take appropriate measures to fix the problem.
When it is dry or almost dry water it well and make a note on your calendar of the date. Continue doing the finger test every few days and marking the watering days on your calendar until you have a good pattern down. Then you can just follow the pattern and not have to continue with the finger test. Different climates will require different watering schedules.
Soil Moisture & Seasonal Changes
If the temperatures change 10 to 15 degrees either higher or lower and remain there for more than a couple days do the finger test again and adjust the amount of watering as needed. Do the finger test during seasonal changes to stay on top of your azalea's watering needs. | agronomy |

And if we’re to be fruitful, we need many of these things too. 1) We need to be rooted in God. The Bible says that those who trust in God are ‘like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit’ (Jeremiah 17:8 NIV). When we’re rooted in God, we can produce fruit all year round, no matter what’s going on in our lives. 2) We need to be nourished by reading the Bible, praying, and spending time with God – that’s like our water and sunlight. Without these, we can’t grow or function well. The Holy Spirit helps us produce fruit, so we need to be building a relationship with Him. 3) We need God to equip us for His purposes, along with the encouragement of others, just like a tree needs insects to pollinate it and help it produce the fruit it was made to produce. 4) We need to be pruned. Pruning means cutting off some branches to help others grow. God prunes us by cutting things out of our lives which are not part of His plan for us, and by disciplining us when we make mistakes (take a look at Hebrews 12:7-11). 5) We need to clothe ourselves with God’s armour so that we’re protected against the enemy’s attacks (have a read of Ephesians 6). Satan doesn’t want us to be fruitful, so he’s working against us. Just like a tree needs to be protected from diseases and pests, we need to be prepared and protected against him.

I put my garden in prior to the Crash of 2009, and it’s a good thing too or I’d never have been able to afford the lumber for the box beds (over $350.00) the two truckloads of compost and soil to fill them (another $300.00) the weed cloth to kill that first crop of seeds embedded in the supposedly-seed-free soil ($27.00) and the bags of fertilizer ($50.00).
Also, I needed seeds. Make that another $20.00. A new hoe and rake and pair of gloves for weeding brought the four garden beds we put in to offset our food costs to a whopping $802.00.
(This does not include all my personal woman-hours shoveling and carrying the soil to the beds, mixing up the fertilizer and creating the beds, planting the seeds, and sexual favors to my husband for building the beds. If you had to pay for his labor and my labor, it would be expensive indeed)
$802.00 buys a LOT of vegetables at the market.
That first year, the lettuces were worth $27.00 a piece, the tomatoes $10.00, and oh, yeah—we live in a very dry area so I forgot to include the $17.00 extra dollars a month on the water bill.
Since that first year I decided to make it my mission to have a cheap garden. Sustainable, to me, means no new money put in. So, I began letting a few lettuces go to seed and saving the seeds. Same with tomatoes, peppers and green beans. I also didn’t buy fertilizer after the first year—I composted leaves, and used chicken poo from my chickens. I keep recycling the weed cloth to keep down the weeds, and I don’t use any products on the garden.
I can’t help the water bill, though, and I’m still paying off the $802.00 in nonbought vegetable costs, because I can’t seem to resist storebought vegetables—I keep getting things I can’t grow, like artichokes, broccoli, and cucumbers (all too hard to grow without pesticides.)
It takes a lot of work to have a backyard garden, but I think the thing that makes it worth it isn’t the money you save—it’s the aesthetics. The experience of it. One of life’s truly great pleasures is walking in the cool of the early morning, trailing a hose, carrying a weeder, and picking the vegetables of your labor.
I feel your pain, Toby. I have 21 garden boxes this year. But if figure (hope – pray!) that over the long haul I’ll not only save money on the food we eat, but make some back because I’ll sell some of it at the local Farmer’s market. And this food hasn’t been sprayed with chemicals or genetically tinkered with. Hard to put a price on that, but should be worth something. Besides,,, it keeps me out of the bars.
Cool pics of some lovely produce. Even at 10 bucks the tomatoes are worth it.

M. Grabowski, UMN Extension Educator
Black leg is a stem infection of Geraniums (Pelargonium spp.) that results in a distinctive black discoloration of stems. As infected stems rot, they become soft and often bend over. This disease is caused by several species of the water mold Pythium. Pythium spp. are soil dwelling organisms that thrive in wet conditions and can survive in infected plant debris and soil. Black leg symptoms often start at the soil line and move up the plant.
To avoid black leg, inspect all geraniums prior to purchase and select only healthy symptom free plants. If repotting geraniums, use new clean potting mix and new pots or pots that have been cleaned with a solution of 10% household bleach. Take care to keep tools, watering cans, and hose heads off the floor and away from dirt and plant debris. Pythium spp. can be introduced into clean potted plants by tools that have contacted contaminated dirt or plant debris. Do not over water plants.
If plants do become infected, they will not recover. Discard the plant and the potting mix. Clean the pot with a solution of 10% household bleach before reusing it.

Over chlorination will result in reduced growth and yields. However, you can spend little or nothing to easily dechlorinate tap water water for your garden plants. We've been talking about the subject of dechlorinating your plant's water, especially if you are inoculating your plant with microbials.
Dechlorinate tap water with an airstone. One of the main reasons to “dechlorinate” your tap water is for those among us who are concerned with their microbe populations as chlorine etc can kill off some of the micro herd. Leaving the water out in the sun.
How to dechlorinate water with vitamin c for aquaponics. In all these cases you add new water that has been treated with chlorine and chloramine to your tank. “[tap water] might be slightly damaging to the soil, but i don't think it's significant.” tap water drawn near the treatment plant may range as high as.
Always use the right doses for. Water companies attempt to meet this standard, but it can vary slightly either way, up to around 1mg/l. I understand the frustration that gardeners experience when they are forced to use tap water for plants.
This has been recommended as a way to let chlorine evaporate, but there generally isn't enough chlorine in tap water to harm most plants. But this is not a fast method for dechlorinate water. 84% (48) it takes 1 to 2 hours to dechlorinate the tap water, and some combine injection with oxidizing media.
Simply add 1 tsp of vitamin c power to 50 gallons of water and let sit or bubble out for 10 mins, then your water is ready to make compost tea or just water. Adding dechlorinator is relatively straightforward, but you have to make sure that you follow the instructions on the packaging. For most of my gardening life, i have been on municipal water.
Is tap water safe for plants? Carl gorka has an op. The aeration can indeed accelerate the dechlorinate process because it increases water circulation.
There is no need to let water sit overnight before using it on plants. Then, mix this water with germinating soil or put it in a spray bottle to water your seedlings.25 feb 2013there are several ways you can dechlorinate tap water.there is no need to let water sit overnight before using it on plants.these are the most common things we do to reduce the chemicals in bath water: In addition to chlorine, tap water also contains.
“bubbling” where forced aeration of the water oxidizes the chlorine over time. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Under normal conditions, it takes 12 to 24 hours.
Hydrogen peroxide, then lift it up again, let the water sit for 24 hours before using it on your plants, the natural. However, when i moved to a residence that had well water, i did not notice any difference in my garden. Liquid impurities are not removed by settling the water, but the concentration will not be dangerous thanks to the work of the city water channel.
There are other methods to remove chlorine from tap water, such as: | agronomy |

Some of the advantages of a worm farm are:
- It’s a disposal mechanism for most of your kitchen scraps
- The earthworms turn the scraps into a rich compost
- Moisture from the process drains through to provide “worm tea”. Worm tea is a liquid fertiliser that is extremely high in nutrients. | agronomy |

CTC initiated it in 2016 in line with their parent company British American Tobacco (BAT)’s CSI theme “Sustainable Agriculture and Environment”. SADP provides low income families in the selected villages “agricultural and other inputs to achieve self-sufficiency through home gardening and animal husbandry”. Please see Sustainable Agriculture Development Programme (SADP) for more details.
SADP Ultra, launched in 2013, is the latest variant of the SADP. Targeting tobacco farmers, it has the highest number of beneficiaries (4,100 families) compared to other variants of SADP. According to the CTC, the aim was “to promote the cultivation of cash crops such as maize and other home gardening crops on tobacco fields”. CTC refers to SADP Ultra as an “ongoing engagement method” with “Farmers & Barn Owners” which “help to build and strengthen farmer network and provide an effective platform for sharing best practices”.
In 2016, CTC reported 4,100 families benefited from SADP Ultra programme since its initiation. The highest number of families were from Matale District (1,240), closely followed by Polonnaruwa District (1,168). The other districts in which the programme was implemented were; Anuradhapura (600 families), Ampara (346 families), Kurunegala (300 families), Kandy (300 families) and Badulla (146 families). According to the CTC the benefits were “increasing bio diversity of the land, enhancing soil quality and providing farmers with an additional source of income”.
As per the main SADP Programme, SADP Ultra also received positive media coverage as reflected in the examples below;

How are you guys? Thank you so much for visiting my blog again 🙂
Tomorrow is Friday, my favorite day of the entire week 🙂 Yay! What about you?
I don’t know if you are curious or not, but I want to show you what’s in my fridge to give you an idea what is supposed to be there, so you are covered when you become hungry and not to return to old habits because of not having enough of stash. Keep ripe fruit around the house and you are safe. My stash is probably bigger than usual, because I have 5 “fruit-holes” to feed. However even if you don’t use this much, you still need a pretty good supply of ripe fruit at hand.
One more thing: here where I live, in Phrao Thailand, the fruits available on everyday market are LOCAL ONLY with very few exceptions. We have no zucchini at all and only seasonal avocado. Also availability of long regular banana is not so great and there are days when bananas are all over the place and other days when I cannot find a single bunch. Prices are also higher, when there is a little shortage on something. Many popular fruits are not available at all but there are very good local ones instead. I have to admit I miss all kinds of berries, oranges and more variety of melons.
WHAT’S IN OUR FRIDGE right now :
(approx. amounts on a random day, photo was taken yesterday to be precise):
- over 50 ripe bananas (in the fridge keep fresh for longer)
- 3.5kg avocados (we have only seasonal deliveries to Phrao, where they do not grow those locally. These are first avocados in 3 months, available only at Monday Market and sometimes even every 2-3 weeks. I get about 4-5 kilos each time, to keep a stash for as long as possible).
- 2 watermelons (4-5kg each)
- 2 kg mango
- 1 young coconut
- a bag of fresh soy beans (1kg) – know also as Edamame, it is in season right now, freshly picked from local fields. Super cheap (5Baht) and also yummy snack – just steam for 5 minutes, cool down a bit and pop into your mouth. – I wonder if those are GMO or not? My kids do not eat SOY yet. They were all allergic to soy a while ago, I am not trying yet.
- a bag of green leaf lettuce
- 2 kg long cucumbers
- in the vegetable drawer – carrots, Napa cabbage, kale, sweetheart cabbage, cauliflower, walnuts, green beans, bell peppers, onions
- on the door: herbs (celery, cilantro, scallion), ginger, chili, limes, coconut sugar, barley juice powder, ground hemp seeds, self-made war peanut butter (from local smaller peanuts), apples (imported, but Maya really loves them, I get once in a while a little package of Gala), Bok choy cabbage, white mushrooms, 3 sticky corn cobs
On the shelf:
- 3kg of rambutan (Troy’s fav)
- 2kg of sapodilla (Maya’s fav)
- 2kg mangos (Kris’s fav)
- 1kg mangosteen (my fav)
- a lot of bananas (Travis’s fav)
There is also a table with fruits on the other side of my simple OUTDOOR self-made-temporary-house-kitchen in Thailand with coconuts, pineapples, melons, more watermelons and mangos:
Keep fruits at your fingertips, ripe, sweet and ready to eat.
With all my love, | agronomy |

At Spinetech, a leading player in the field, we are continuously innovating and seeking new ways to maintain the delicate balance between production and environmental responsibility.
In our current project, we are focusing on abalone maturation in the southern region and exploring the potential of a self-sustaining macroalgae laboratory.
The Role of Macroalgae in Abalone Farming:
Macroalgae plays a vital role in providing nutrition to growing abalones. In the south, we rely on the Pelillo species of macroalgae as the primary food source for our abalones. During the summer months, we also incorporate the Huiro species, which has valuable applications in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. However, limited availability in the north makes large-scale cultivation of Huiro impractical. As a result, we aim to establish a macroalgae laboratory in the south to increase self-sustainability and enhance the use of locally sourced feed for abalone growth.
Self-Sustainability and Future Expansion:
At Spinetech, we recognize the significance of self-sustainability in ensuring the long-term viability of our operations. By establishing a macroalgae laboratory, we aim to reduce dependence on external suppliers and maintain a consistent supply of high-quality feed for our abalones. Our current project in the south is just the beginning, and if successful, we plan to replicate this success in the north, achieving 100% self-sufficiency in abalone feed production. This strategic expansion will not only secure our company's supply chain but also contribute to the overall sustainability of the industry.
We are fully committed to upholding the highest standards of compliance and environmental stewardship. We stay up-to-date with regulations and adapt to the ever-changing environmental landscape. By aligning our practices with the latest norms and commitments, we ensure the sustainable growth of our business while safeguarding the delicate marine ecosystems.
Our aim is to play a crucial role in shaping the future of sustainable abalone farming and bring our clients the best quality abalones. | agronomy |

Official commence of the project took place during the Kick-off meeting on 12 June 2019 in European Space Association HQ in Harwell. By the 2021 we are going to deliver to insurance companies our remote sensing products, that will be available through dedicated system for sales, claims settlement and risk assessment.
InsSAT is a response to the growing demand of insurance companies for the use of remote sensing data in agricultural insurance. In order not to burden them with the costs of conducting research on remote sensing products and system construction, we have written a research application and invited them to cooperate in creating solutions enabling the best adaptation to the needs of the insurance industry and understand the pros and cons of possible solutions.
Value of crop insurance premiums in Poland is still growing.
Within the project we run workshops, during which we discuss the possibilities of using different types of data and adjusting it to the needs of the insurance industry. As a feedback we receive information about usability of proposed data format and possible ways of enriching it or changing the desired format.
Products that we develop are related to insurance sales and claims settlement in the range of:
- bad wintering of the crops;
- setting the date for the crop harvesting;
- spring frosts;
- agricultural properties insurance;
- automation of field inspection process.
Our producs are created as a result of combining remote sensing data with AI algorithms. We conduct research that within a few growing seasons will allow for adjusting machine learning models to all possible weather conditions. Every developed models are verified on the field, so that we can be sure we deliver products of the highest accuracy.
Sale process of the winter crops insurance has finished lately. Stay tuned for more posts describing solutions we create in relation to that subject.

Farming in Øystre Slidre municipality is mainly based on animal husbandry and growing fodder for the animals. Farming is carried out within a short growing season late April to September. The weather conditions (time of snowmelt/snowfall, periods of dry and wet weather) during this season are crucial for agricultural activities. The production of grass for fodder and grazing, which is central to agriculture in Øystre Slide, is influenced by great seasonal and inter-annual variations in climatic conditions.
The weather in summer of 2009 was unusual in several respects, it was first unusually warm and dry and then exceptionally wet. Rainfall in July and August was 65% over the monthly mean and it rained practically every day. Dry weather is important for harvesting and the wet weather posed problems for farmers. Furthermore, the snow settled permanently in early October, a month earlier than usual. Nutrious dry grass fodder can then be harvested in late June or early July and again from late July to late August, depending on the altitude and microclimatic conditions. In contrast, wet summers like the one of 2009, create problems for farmers all over the municipality with regard to harvesting fodder, grazing animals, and completing field preparations. The grass needs to be reasonably dry before harvesting in order to store and use it during the winter. Wet and muddy fields also increase the risk of compresssion damage to the soil during harvest. The extended wet spell in 2009 led to a delay of several weeks in harvesting the second harvest, resulting in excessive grass growth that reduced the nutritious content and palatabilty of the fodder. Many farmers reported a large, but inferior quality of the second harvest. The wet summer of 2009 also led to extra work as the farmers were unable to complete started havestng tasks and hence worked less efficiently. Some had to delay or skip other maintenance tasks and planned social events. Some were unable to plough for the next season, since snow settled unusually early. Inferior fodder, higher levels of bacteria resulting from muddy harvesting conditions, along with poor mountain grazing in some areas due to the wet conditions, led to somewhat reduced quality and quantity of milk and increased fodder needs for some farmers.
The challenges of adaptation to variability in this case is also linked to large changes in the Norwegian agricultural sector over the last four decades. The number of active farmers have decreased, many small farms have closed down and the remaining farms are larger and more industrialised (eg. Higher production intensity, more machinery). In addition, the farming sector has undergone increasing formalisation, meaning that many tasks now need to the reported to authorities.
Despite the difficulties the 2009 season provided for farmers in Øystre Slidre municipality, the study shows that the majority of farmers felt that they were able to manage the extreme climate conditions well and did expect to be back on track during the 2010 season. This was largely due to informal collaboration between farmers and more formalised arrangements provided by the Norwegian authorities.
Different forms of collaboration are particularly important to enable farmers to manage the short growing season, such as in timing activities to appropriate weather conditions.
The study does not go into detail about how farmers perceived the problem but indicate that climate variability (at times extreme) is expected and anticipated in farming communities. Three factors appear to have been important to allow farmers to avoid delay and reduction in fodder during the exceptionally wet 2009 season:
- Access to farming equipment
- Access to labour
- Experience and knowledge in planning activities in a timely fashion.
The social organisation of adaptation to climate varaibility and other stressors is founded on traditions of assistance and collaboration between farmers. This has been complemented with formal arrangements for example that farmers are entitled to assistance/ labour for a number of days each year.
Farming equipment, critical to act quickly and harvest and pack hay, is shown to be accessed in two different ways. The case shows that sharing arrangements with other farmers (extended family and neighbours) was common to access machines through critical times of the season. Such sharing arrangement were most often informal and run had run between families for generations. Farming households with mostly off-farm incomes relied on hiring machinery through formal arrangements, e.g. firms renting equipment.
Access to labour is similarly to farming equipment important to act timely and quickly during harvest season. This is typically organised through relations both within and between households. Similar to accessing equipment those households with mostly off-farm incomes foremost hired labour.
Other forms of collaboration included mutual assistance in farming tasks between neighbours. Collaborations between farming households are also shown to be vital for knowledge transfers, where farmers discuss the use of seeds, manure, fertilisers and other issues such as when the grass is ready for harvest and how different micro climatic conditions influence farming. The 2009 event showed that past experience and acquired local ecological knowledge enable farmers to plan carefully and to deal reasonably well with the difficult weather conditions.
The type of adaptation solution implemented depended on people and the social relations and collaborations among farmers. The localised solution drew mainly on farmers’ traditional adaptation strategies and their traditional knowledge with the additional support of formal support from authorities, for example the possibility of farmers to hire additional labour.
However, the case cautions that this traditional way of adapting to climate variability is stretched due to broader structural reforms in the agricultural sector. Less active farms lead to weakening forms of collaboration, reduction of trust relations between farms and knowledge transfer of specific ecological and climatic conditions. The strengthening of formal systems of assistance may counteract such trends, for example state support to hire substitute labour as well as equipment and services.
The local government’s role lies in enabling such formal support systems but the mainstay of adaptation activities in this case is undertaken by local people incrementally, rather than a formal policy/ action. It was foremost financed by individual farming households, with additional support from the Norwegian government.
Occupations that rely upon natural resources and climatic conditions do often have a repertoire of strategies and knowledge that can aid adaptation to climate variability and change. It is important and cost-effective for local governments to map such strategies and to be aware of formal measures that may strengthen or weaken informal and continuous adaptation strategies. While local adaptive capacity is critical for climate change adaptation it may be problematic that too much responsibility it placed on the local level. The broader impacts of structural reforms on local adaptive capacity and traditional ecological knowledge need to be considered. The Øystre Slidre case shows that the conditions for local climate change adaptation such as structural reforms within the agricultural sectors are decisions taken at national and at times even international levels. Agricultural politics, trends towards fewer and larger farms, new economic opportunities within the tourism sector, urbanisation and reduced profitability in the agricultural sector compared with other sectors are important factors that influence local adaptive capacity. Both national and local strategies to support climate adaptation need to be aligned to support farmers to deal with climate variability and other stressors. | agronomy |

Anyway it's warming up a bit. I have planted radishes and a lettuce mix called rocky top. And started the sweet potatoes in jars of water indoors.
Getting some cleaning done in the garden and places ready for the potatoes, onions, and brocolli to go in soon.
I have ordered 40 yards of wedding tulle to hoop over the cabbage, brocolli and some squash. Don't really need that much but it cost the same as 20 yds at Walmart so I got it. Hopefully with that and the BT spray I will have more success in bug wars.
Always so glad when when gardening season is over....and here I am in Feb. itching to get back to it. | agronomy |
https://www.barkdusters.com/mulch-versus-barkdust/ | 2024-02-29T07:36:47 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474795.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20240229071243-20240229101243-00449.warc.gz | 0.949856 | 505 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__47303329 | en | Are you wondering about mulch or barkdust in Vancouver Washington? Which is which? Is there a difference? You have property in the great Northwest and you want answers. We’re here to clear up any confusion around mulch and barkdust.
Some people assume, incorrectly but understandably, that mulch and barkdust are essentially the same product. Each product has its own defining characteristics and uses. So, if you are curious about the differences between mulch and barkdust, stay tuned.
Both mulch and barkdust can be used as landscape materials or for landscape improvement. Mulch is basically organic matter used for ground covering. But you’ve heard that barkdust is used for ground covering, so is it also mulch? No, it’s not.
Barkdust comes in many varieties. And as you can probably imagine, different bark and the different ways of processing bark will result in varieties of barkdust. From coarse to medium-coarseness to fine, the final product of barkdust can come in many forms.
The outer layer of trees, the bark of trees, is recycled and pressed for wood. Bark is defined as the “corky exterior of trees” and which does not consist of more than 15% wood, according to the Mulch and Soil Council.
Barkdust in Vancouver Washington and other locales, is used for soil temperature regulation, to prevent erosion and retain water, and management of weed growth. It is durable, comes in many iterations (coarse or fine), and is available in many different colors.
Mulch is material that is used as an additive to soil for its nutritional and insulating properties. Mulch is often comprised of organic material, such as cut grass, fallen leaves, and decaying compost. The various decaying organic matter is further “mulched,” ground down further, before it is used for its intended purpose.
Should You Use Mulch Or Barkdust In Vancouver, Washington?
This is a question that is best answered depending on the intended use. Again, mulch is good for vegetative nutrient additive, insulating, ground cover that control for weeds. If you want a more colorful aesthetic landscape or desire a soft, natural ground cover then barkdust is the right choice. Note: For landscaping applications, two to three inches of barkdust layer is typically recommended, depending on the particular application. You may want more than one layer. | agronomy |

Posted on March 19 2021
As a part of responsible and sustainable sourcing, we strive to find organically certified teas and herbs that sustain the health of soil, ecosystems and the people who farm the land. Products that are certified organic are tagged as such on our site, and you can easily find them by simply searching using the keyword "organic".
We find it important to note however, that some of our suppliers are small, family run farms who cannot afford certification. As they are not technically certified organic, we do not tag these selections as such even though some are also free of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. Often, these small farms, and the families and communities who run them, are the ones who can use a boost the most. Many of the larger buyers and tea suppliers will overlook them in favor of the big farms, plantations and corporate entities who can afford organic certification.
In addition to sustainable sourcing, we believe it is our responsibility to seek out the stories of the people behind the leaves in these small, family run, subsistence farms and how purchasing their truly remarkable tea can create a positive, sustainable impact throughout their communities.
Though they may not be certified organic, we are more than proud to include the remarkable fruits of their labor in our collections. | agronomy |

In the heartland of spice world, it is hard to resist a love affair with the heady fragrance of the queen of spices. She is the special one whose leaves are aromatic, whose fruits are called capsules, whose seeds reside inside peacock green coloured pods and whose herbaceous perennial crop claims a relationship with the famous ginger family. It lends lingering fragrance to Indian biryanis, sums up Swedish baking, enhances the taste of Scandinavian coffee and adds a magical flavour to everything, from curries to desserts. While Pepper is known as the King of Spices, Cardamon is the beloved queen. For the alluring detoxification properties it possesses and for the appearances it makes in the household’s kitchen and medicine cabinets, it rarely tells its own story.
Taking a look in the kitchen of the world From the cardamom flavoured coffees prepared by the Bedouins to Swedish flatbreads and cakes to Uzebkistan’s famous rice dishes to the Srilankan chicken curries to Oriental rice-and-meat dishes, for example, Turkish pilav and Arabic kabsah, to the Indian Elaichi tea, the distinguishable flavour and woody notes of cardamom are often employed for various culinary adventures all over the world. Most of the kitchens in India are able to boast having cardamoms because of the extensive Eletaria cardamomum plantations in Kumily, Thekkady and the Cardamom hills which comprise of the Western Ghats and clusters of Periyar Tiger reserve. 70 per cent of India’s cardamom grows in the state of Kerala at an altitude of 600 to 1200 mt and you will be surprised to know that only a small share of the Indian production is exported because of the large domestic demands.
For the love of Cardamom
There is something so captivating about the sweet, a little camphorous, eucalyptuslike aroma of cardamom that a walk through the winding pathways in the lush green spice plantations of Thekkady in the Idukki district of Kerala urges one to dig in the facts and learn what goes into the making of cardamoms from its flowers to fruits before it reaches the kitchens. Some of the most interesting facts are based on its classification. Some traders and buyers love the biggest pods and some pick the smallest pods. There are three main varieties- 8 mm and above are special quality, 6.5 mm and above are popular and 5.5 -6.5 are small. Cardamom is also recognised based on the nature of panicles (stem). In the international market, they are recognised in three varieties – ‘Alleppey Green Extra Bold’ (AGEB), ‘Alleppey Green Bold’ (AGB) and ‘Alleppey Green Superior’ (AGS). The perennial plant of cardamom never fails to build interest of the on-lookers as the flower stems grow out from the base around the perimeter of the clump and the pods (capsules), which hold the tightly packed seeds, are born on these stems. Interestingly, the plant thrives in filtered shade and doesn’t need direct sunlight. These thick shrub-like plants happily grow up to 2 – 4 m in height under the canopy of much higher trees. When it is green and dry, it is easy to pick and store. Born of attractive flowers, pods, seeds and ground, the cardamom crop can be harvested four times a year.
Processes that make it precious
One can vouch for the delicacy and freshness of the cardamoms from India not just because it grows in one of the most suitable climates but also because the cardamom planters have a passion for it. Cleaning is the primary process. Some planters soak the freshly picked cardamom in washing soda solution to keep its green colour intact, others wash it in water to remove the dirt and stalks. Next follows drying. Initially there used to be drying shed or wooden chambers (fuel kilns) which maintained a constant temperature to dry the pods but now there are drying machines (electrical drier) which provide the essentials, 45-50°C for 14- 18 hours. Uniform drying is extremely essential and thus the drier stirs them frequently. Winnowing removes the foreign matter. And next they are sorted and packed in gunny bags based on size and colour. They are kept in wooden chambers till they are sent for auction and final packaging. There should be no light right from the drying process to prevent the impact on colour.
Too many healthy reasons to love Cardamom
For decades, the queen of spices has been alluring not just for its flavour alone but also for its Ayurveda and medicinal properties. While it acts as anti-infecting for the gums and teeth, it helps to relief the cough in the lungs. It is digestive as well as of the nature of an aphrodisiac. The spicy pods not just contain many essential volatile oils but the seeds are a good source of minerals like potassium and calcium. Additionally, the pods are also rich in many vital vitamins, iron and manganese too.

It is niche-specific and only for the people linked with agriculture in farming, ranching, agricultural education, and more. This will help you understand Ag talk and how it is helping the Agricultural growth worldwide.
Food security is the major dilemma for the world after the pandemic. The Russia-Ukraine war drastically impacted food security. Till 2021, Russia is the third largest country in the world in wheat production, and Ukraine scored sixth position in the top ten list. Agricultural growth is directly linked with the world food security, food crisis, and food pandemic. Different agricultural communities are striving for the cessation of this food crisis. So, they genuinely need a forum or separate social media-like platform to share their ideas and new forms of agricultural techniques. The AgTalk is playing digital mediator among them.
What is AgTalk
The Agri Talk name is self-explanatory.

You can interact with experienced farmers, agricultural experts, and people associated with this industry. Those people share their experiences on agricultural production, usage and innovative machinery, pesticides, Livestock management, agricultural market trends, the latest digital trends, and more. On the Ag talk forum, you can seek guidance from agricultural experts for better growth, proper implementation of technology in the Agro-industry, and future strategies.
Discussion is important for better understanding, examination, and problem analysis. Nothing is important when it comes to human needs. Agriculture is directly or indirectly linked to human food security and food crisis solutions. Ag Talk provides a better place to discuss, understand, and solve agricultural-related problems worldwide.
Knowledge sharing is the art of being acknowledged. Knowledge increases by sharing despite keeping it secret and saving it under the heart lock. The Ag talk is the best place for sharing knowledge about cultivation, farming, and Livestock management.

Agtalk Vs Different Conventional Social Media
Unlike other social media platforms, Agtalks forums are niche specific and based on only agriculture-related topics such as Agtalk Stocks, Ag talk Classifieds, Ag talk stock market, etc.
However, Facebook, X.com, Instagram, and other major players also provide an open space for farmers and the agriculture community. But, because of the diversity and huge content library there are many distractions. On the other hand, Ag talk being niche specific, you will only see the agricultural related content without any distraction and spam.
You interact and communicate with subject specialists and professional people around the world. Get opportunity to know the advancements and new skills in that particular category.
An hour-long discussion with a subject specialist is better than hundreds of hours of debate with the odds. So, the Ag Community provides you with a platform to debate and get productive answers to your questions in the agriculture department.

The platform’s anonymity option ensures that users can freely express themselves without fear of judgment, creating a welcoming environment.
Ag Talk is a shorter version of Agrticultural Talk. It is social media like online platform where people associated with agriculture join discussion and share their opinion and personal experiences for better growth.
Agtalk is an online niche internet community helping the United States agricultural audience greatly to increase their field growth.
It is beneficial for farmers, agronomists, people of the agricultural business community.

These items provide insight into the unique construction and materials used to build the complex, as well as the processes for nitrate production.
The U.S. Nitrate Plant No. 2 was authorized by the Defense Act in 1916 to produce nitrate for munitions materials for World War I. In need of nitrates during World War I, President Woodrow Wilson approved the building of two nitrate plants and a dam to supply needed electricity for the plants. The result was the construction of Wilson Dam and two nitrate facilities. Sheffield, AL was chosen as the site for U.S. Nitrate Plant No. 1 where a German nitrate manufacturing process was to be tested; the nearby Muscle Shoals area was chosen for U.S. Nitrate Plant No. 2 that would experiment with the America Cynamid process. During construction the worker population rose from around 300 in January 1918 to nearly 21,000 in August 1918. Plant No. 1 was closed when the tested manufacturing method proved to be flawed; Plant No. 2 went into production on November 25, 1918. Since the armistice ending WWI had been signed on November 11, production was no longer considered necessary and the facilities were left idle. It was not productive again until U.S. Sen. George Norris of Nebraska championed its use as part of the legislation creating TVA.
As part of its historic mission, TVA was charged with activating the facilities and producing new fertilizers to help modernize agricultural practices to promote economic recovery for the region during the Depression era. The nitrate plant became the core of TVA’s fertilizer program that earned worldwide recognition for advancing fertilizer development and production. The facility, which was named the TVA Fertilizer Development Center, became the National Fertilizer Development Center in 1963.The research and demonstration projects conducted at the pioneering facilities on the Muscle Shoals Reservation from the 1930s through the early 1990s produced major contributions to the modern fertilizer industry. More than 75 percent of the fertilizer products or manufacturing processes still used throughout the world today were developed at the TVA Muscle Shoals facility.
In addition to the TVA Collection, many other collections in UNA Archives have materials related to the Shoals Canal, Muscle Shoals nitrate facilities, and TVA. Among these are: | agronomy |

|By Dr. John H. Sklare
The thoughts that you have in your mind are similar to the seeds a farmer plants in his field. Consider the fertile soil of a farmers field. The farmer decides what crop he wants to grow and then he plants the appropriate seeds. The ground in which he plants the seeds has no choice but to produce the very crop that the farmer has plantedbe it corn, wheat, barley, or weeds. The ground doesnt debate, challenge or try to change the seed. Its only role is to embrace the seed, nurture its growth and produce the crop. The same can be said about the thoughts you plant in your mind.
You, like the farmer, are a planter of seeds. Your seeds, however, are of a psychological nature. In your case, these are the seeds of thought and behavior. While the farmer plants his seeds in the ground, you plant your seeds in your mind. And just as the type of seed the farmer plants in the earth determines what he produces in his field, the kinds of thoughts that you plant in your mind determine what you produce in your life.
If you plant seeds of negativism, self-doubt and apprehension, you produce a life full of fear, frustration and helplessness. On the other hand, if you plant seeds that are positive, hopeful and strong, you produce a much healthier, happier and successful life. You cant continue to plant seeds of doubt and failure in your mind and expect to produce the successful life you dream of. Think about that as you wander through your day today! What kind of seeds are you planting?
Wishing You Great Health,
Dr. John H. Sklare

Our Lion's Mane Grow Kit is designed to make growing these unique and nutritious mushrooms an enjoyable and successful venture, right from the comfort of your own home. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to ensure a bountiful harvest.
- Unpack Your Kit: Gently remove the fully incubated Lion's Mane substrate block from its packaging. This block contains all the necessary nutrients for your mushrooms.
- Location: Choose a spot for your kit. Lion's Mane prefers cool temperatures (15-24°C / 60-75°F) and indirect light.
- Prepare the Block: Make a small incision in the plastic bag. This encourages mushroom growth at the open point.
- Humidity and Ventilation: Lion's Mane needs a humid environment. Mist the substrate lightly 2-3 times a day to maintain moisture without soaking the block.
Caring for Your Mushrooms:
- Watering: Use a spray bottle to mist the substrate, keeping it consistently moist (2-3 times a day).
- Air Circulation: Ensure the grow area has some air movement but avoid direct drafts on the kit.
- Watch for Signs: In a week or so, you’ll notice small icicle-like formations emerging from the cuts. These will develop into Lion's Mane mushrooms.
- Growth Progress: The mushrooms will grow daily. Monitor their development and maintain the environment. The mushroom growth will initially be baby pink, turning bone white all over while the spines develop.
- When to Harvest: The best time to harvest is when the mushrooms are fully formed, and the spines begin to elongate and straighten. Some white parts of the mushroom will start to turn yellow. When there is no pink left and yellowing is starting, that is when it is time to harvest.
- Harvest Technique: Gently twist and pull the mushrooms from the block.
Enjoying Your Harvest:
Culinary Uses: Lion’s Mane mushrooms are known for their health benefits and delicious, meaty texture. Enjoy them sautéed, in soups, or as a meat substitute in various recipes.
Storage: Freshly harvested Lion’s Mane can be stored in a refrigerator for up to a week. For longer preservation, consider drying or freezing them.
Post-Harvest Care: After harvesting, your grow kit may be ready for a second or even third flush of growth. Give it a rest for a day, then submerge in water overnight for 10-12 hours to rehydrate, then resume misting. Please note that each subsequent harvest takes longer due to a finite amount of energy being in the block.
Our Promise & Grow Guarantee: We're on this journey with you! We guarantee each kit to produce at least one bountiful harvest of Lion's Mane mushrooms, though many experience 2-3 fruitful harvests. Should you face any hiccups, our dedicated team is here to guide you. | agronomy |

In this post we will explore the differences between them to understand the advantages and disadvantages to each.
Sodding is the process of transplanting mature turf that has been maintained by a professional. It is installed by rolling out pieces of turf onto fresh topsoil that has been properly graded. Sod can be purchased from most local landscape suppliers and can be installed by professionals or homeowners. Sod is typically more expensive than grass seed since the grass has already grown and matured. Although it is the more expensive option, you get “instant grass” that immediately looks beautiful and can be walked on shortly after installation.
Advantages of sodding…
- “instant grass”
- quick root growth
- can be installed at almost anytime of the year as long as water is readily available (best installation times are typically spring and fall seasons)
- can be walked on/used shortly after installation
- can be laid on flat or slopped areas
- usually a clean installation
- one-time process if it is properly cared for after installation
Disadvantages of sodding…
- can be expensive especially when hiring a professional to do the installation process
- may not be completely weed-free
- can survive well in sunny areas but sometimes does not do well in shady areas
Seeding is the process which grass seed is spread and planted in nutrient-rich soil in order to grow new grass. Grass seed can be purchased at almost any hardware store or landscape supplier and anyone can apply it to their own yard. This is usually cheaper than sodding but it takes much more time and energy to get grass to grow.
Advantages of seeding…
- less expensive than sodding
- can be done by anyone
- can grow in sun and shade if appropriate sun/shade variety is purchased
- weed free
Disadvantages of seeding…
- grass does not instantly grow and is a long-term process
- lots of time and attention needed for watering/caring for and possibly fertilizing
- lawn usage should be avoided until grass seed fully grows
- can be messy depending on lawn conditions
- seed should only be planted during optimal growing conditions or seasons (optimal temperature is around 16°C and the best growing seasons are spring and early fall)
- should be installed on relatively flat areas since grass seed can be washed away off of slopes
- reseeding may be necessary if seeds blow/wash away
- Might need to reseed multiple times
So which option is better? Truth be told, with the right application and proper amount of care, sodding and seeding can both be great methods to grow a new lawn. It all depends on your preferences and budget. If you don’t mind spending money and want a lawn that will immediately look good that can be used right away then you should sod your lawn. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money and can go without a beautiful looking lawn immediately, then you should seed your lawn (but prepare to take the time to care for it!).
Stay tuned for our upcoming post where we will share how to successfully sod or seed a lawn. | agronomy |

During the first year of activity and the first harvest season, the protocols to be applied to a series of preliminary samples, with different theoretical stability, provided by the companies participating in the project were defined. In particular, the following were carried out: tests in climatic chambers, concentration by ultrafiltration and use of chemical agents able to induce chemical phenomena (oxidation) and/or physical phenomena (agglomeration, precipitation). The wines before and after the treatments were subjected to a wide panel of chemical analysis, both through classical analytical techniques and new methods able to better characterize the particle aggregation, such as DLS (dynamic light scattering) and Zeta potential. Methods have been developed for the evaluation of protein content and for the removal of phenols that could interfere with the protein dosage. The statistical analysis of the preliminary results has been carried out. The cellar tests to be carried out in the next few months and the conditions for the tests to be carried out in the laboratory on the next samples have been established. | agronomy |

Former Prime Minister Alfred Sant said the European Commission’s policy on Maltese Agriculture must be contested on all levels. The EU is very reluctant to apply special measures to Maltese farming. Dr. Sant, addressing the Labour Party General Meeting of Mġarr, said that in reply to a parliamentary question to the European Commission asking for more flexibility when considering the needs of Maltese farmers, Farm Commissioner Hogan argued that the common agricultural policy is already sufficiently flexible in this regard. “This view should be contested on all levels for sometimes persistence pays.” Insisted Dr. Sant.
Dr. Sant explained how Malta's agriculture has characteristics that are very different from most other farming sectors in EU member states. “For instance the average holding in Malta is 1.2 hectare; in the bigger countries, the average farm is between 50 and 60 hectares.” said Dr. Sant.
Dr. Sant said that as of August 2014, he had made the claim that even though they did not export to Russia, Maltese farmers and pig breeders would need support and compensation as a result of the Russian embargo on food imports from the EU. On this matter, he made a parliamentary question. “In its reply, the EU Commission had been non-committal.”
Dr. Sant said that in September 2014 he again pressed the need to protect pigmeat producers in island states during a plenary debate on the situation in European agriculture, following the Russian embargo.
Finally, in October 2015, the European Commission had accepted to allocate 119,570 euros to Maltese pigmeat producers and to allow the Malta government to introduce extra compensation if it so wished. “The Maltese agricultural sector needs to continue to lobby for its special position to be given full recognition and support.” concluded Alfred Sant. | agronomy |

However, these fertilizers can sometimes clump or cake together, making them difficult to handle and apply. This is where anticaking agents come in, helping to prevent these clumps from forming and ensuring the smooth flow of the fertilizer.
Types of Anticaking for Phosphates
One common type of anticaking agent used in phosphates is potash coating. Potash, a type of potassium salt, is applied to the surface of the fertilizer granules in a thin layer. This coating helps to absorb moisture and prevent clumping, making the fertilizers easier to handle and apply.
Other types of anticaking agents used in phosphates include flotation agents, which create a barrier between the individual granules and prevent them from sticking together. These agents are often applied as a fine spray, coating the granules evenly and effectively preventing clumps from forming.
Benefits of Using Anticaking Agents for Phosphates
There are several benefits to using anticaking agents in phosphates, both for the manufacturer and the end user.
For manufacturers, using anticaking agents can improve the efficiency of the production process. By preventing clumps from forming, manufacturers can ensure a smooth material flow throughout the production line, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
For end users, using anticaking agents can make handling and applying fertilizers much easier. Clumps of fertilizer can be difficult to spread evenly, leading to potential waste and reduced effectiveness. With anticaking agents, fertilizers flow smoothly and can be easily applied to fields or gardens, ensuring that plants receive the nutrients they need.
Selecting the Right Anticaking Agent for Phosphate MAP/DAP
Selecting the right anticaking agent for phosphate MAP/DAP (monoammonium phosphate/diammonium phosphate) is crucial for ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of these fertilizers. There are several factors to consider when choosing an anticaking agent:
Different application equipment may require different types of anticaking agents. For example, flotation agents may be more suitable for precision application equipment, while potash coating may be better suited for bulk application methods.
Humidity and temperature:
The humidity and temperature conditions in which the fertilizers will be stored and used can impact the effectiveness of the anticaking agent. Choosing an agent that can withstand the specific conditions of your application is essential.
The desired flow ability level should be considered when selecting an anticaking agent. Some agents may provide a higher level of flowability, making the fertilizers easier to handle and apply. In contrast, others may offer a more firm texture, which fertilizer may prefer for specific application methods.
It is essential to consider the environmental impact of the anticaking agent. Natural and biodegradable options, such as potash coating, may be more sustainable for minimizing their environmental footprint.
Considering these factors, you can choose the right anticaking agent for your phosphate MAP/DAP fertilizers, ensuring smooth flow and easy application.
In summary, using anticaking for phosphates can help improve the handling and effectiveness of phosphate fertilizers. By preventing clumps from forming, these agents ensure smooth flow and easy application of fertilizers, benefiting both manufacturers and end users. When selecting an anticaking agent for phosphate MAP/DAP, it is essential to consider the specific needs of your application and the potential environmental impact. | agronomy |

The toxin damages the liver leading to a secondary photosensitivity. Underlying liver damage is often subclinical leading to reduced lifetime performance and profitability.
The fungus grows on dead matter at the base of the pasture sward and takes off under favourable environmental conditions, such as high humidity, warmth, and moisture. These conditions are most commonly seen early in wet summers and autumn. When grass minimum temperatures are above 14 degrees and night-time temperatures exceed 12 degrees then spore numbers can climb extremely fast.
Animals showing symptoms of FE (photosensitivity) are usually the tip of the iceberg. For every clinical case there can be five to ten or more animals with underlying subclinical disease. Longer term effects over subsequent months and years include - poor scanning percentages, weight loss or poor weight gain in young stock, wet/dry ewes poor weaning weights and prelamb deaths in ewes. In clinical outbreaks you can have deaths in severe cases, and animals with a range of levels of photosensitivity. Affected animals are often a welfare issue and you can have trouble sending animals to the works with clinical signs and subsequent condemning of carcasses.
There is no effective treatment for facial eczema! Despite what snake oil salesman may say.
Prevention is multifactorial! Breeding for resistance, grazing management, spore counting, and preventative treatments are all important in reducing the impact of FE.
Spore monitoring – Eastland Vets FE Monitor Farms
Limiting the impact of FE on your farm is multi-factorial. A good place to start is by watching what spore counts are doing on our monitor farms. Monitoring will start in mid-January and run through to April or longer if necessary. We have five monitor farms located in:
Results will be in the Gisborne Herald on Saturdays and on our website www.evs.co.nz . Alternatively call the clinic for results. When counts begin to rise – it is time to start spore counting on your own property to establish safer areas to graze and when to start preventative treatments. Monitoring shows there can be extreme differences between neighbouring paddocks within farms and between farms. The best information is your own information.
Grazing management is crucial. Maintaining pasture quality is important as the fungus grows on dead matter at the base of the pasture rather than on green leaf. The lower your feed levels the more animals will graze in the high spore zone. Find out where your safe paddocks are by spore counting. Consider using safe feeds such as crops or new grass in your plan. Making good decisions about which stock classes to graze where or even selling stock in some instances, can reduce the longterm impact of this disease.
It is also important to understand that grazing on low spore counts of 20-30,000 over a long period can result in as much damage as short-term grazing on a paddock with a high spore count of say 70-80,000.
Fungicide spraying theoretically is a good tool but timing is really crucial and it is not fool proof - talk to one of our large animal vets before using products such as Mycotak.
Breeding is the long term goal. Being a high risk region you could expect a reasonable level of natural selection for tolerance in local bloodlines. However, seeking out FE tolerant breeders should be your longterm goal, as breeders are challenging animals with high doses of toxin to identify tolerant sires. Do your homework on FE tolerance and the 5 star grading system as not all FE tolerant breeders/rams are the same. A good place to start is ww.sil.co.nz or the FEGold website www.fegold.co.nz
Zinc supplementation. Zinc provides some protection to the liver from sporidesmin damage. Dairy and intensive farming operations have the option of using zinc sulphate either orally or by water trough treatments. Zinc oxide slurries are an option requiring repeated drenching at up to 2 weekly intervals but are time consuming and labour intensive. A more practical way to administer zinc is by using boluses such as Time Capsules. Boluses give you 6 weeks protection in sheep and 4 weeks in cattle. It is important to start supplementation early before spore counts rise too high. Be aware that with when facing extreme levels of spores that liver damage can still occur.
The answer to minimising FE is to be proactive. We will be living with this production limiting disease for years to come. Be proactive and talk to one of our vets soon about your options.

First it began with removing all of the sod in that rectangular section of our backyard. This was a lot of work! We used an edging tool to make small sections in the sod and then my husband shoveled them out. I loaded the pieces in the wheelbarrow and dumped them in another area of our yard. This took a lot of time. Before this my husband took out the sprinkling system in this area. We are going to add in a drip irrigation system to water our new garden. We worked at night and on the weekends and we successfully removed the once green grass in this area.
Step 1. We removed all of the sod in the to-be flower garden area.
Step 2: My husband tilled the soil
My mother-in-law is also creating a garden, so she rented a tiller for four hours and after she was done with it she dropped it off for us to use it. My husband spent about 1.5 hours tilling this area. He did a good job!
By the way the webbing on the top of our fence is our cat enclosure that my husband built. As you may know we have five cats, so we needed a way to keep them in the yard. The enclosure does a good job keeping them in, because cats can’t climb backwards. Riley has removed staples and escaped a few times but we repair them and for the most part our cats stay in our backyard.
Step 3: We picked out gravel and rocks for the garden
We went to a rock center and looked at gravel to add to our garden path. I would have loved having a brick or even stone path, but this would have been more expensive. So we checked out what kind of gravel they had. We chose 3/4 inch saddle back swirl decorative rocks. I think the one pictured below is a bit smaller then the 3/4 inch.
We also wanted to create a small rock retaining wall. My husband saw these on the pallet and we bought all of these rocks for $40.
Mila and I looked around the rock center and loved this stone bench and bird bath! The bench had the four seasons engraved on the top of it of spring, summer, fall and winter. The bird bath was green with engraved leaves and flowers on it. It was so pretty, but also pricey.
Step 4: We got metal edging to form the paths in the garden
We decided our garden path would be two feet wide and winding. In order to create the paths we needed to define them with edging. At Lowe’s we found metal edging for the path and my husband put the edging into the soil where the paths would go.
Step 5: My husband put down weed barrier fabric and added the gravel to the path.
We got weed barrier fabric from Costco and my husband staked them into the paths. We ordered 4 tons of the saddle back swirl gravel and had that delivered on Sunday. It cost $315 for the 4 tons including delivery. Most of the gravel is going to cover another section of our backyard. In the photo above where the grass is, we are going to cover the grass with weed barrier fabric and put the rest of the gravel there. This is going to be our raised bed garden area for food and herbs. I’ll create a post sharing this area soon.
Then he shoved the gravel into the wheelbarrow and filled the paths with the decorative rock. I’m so thankful my husband did all of this manual work.
Doesn’t it look nice?! I love how our backyard garden is coming together!
With the large pallet of rocks we purchased my husband created the rock retaining wall.
Now we just need to plant some of the flowers we purchased on clearance into the ground and start sowing seeds to have a flourishing garden this summer!
I will be posting photos an an update on the section in front of this flower garden area where we are going to have our food and herb garden in raised beds. It sure is exciting creating our backyard gardens! | agronomy |

Looking back it makes me laugh because the market is open Tuesdays and Fridays 11-6 so why couldn’t I sneak over and check out what they have to offer. Well I FINALLY made it over to the market and it was awesome. I picked up the best corn on the cob, the juiciest tomatoes and the best blueberries. I could go on and on and on. Over the past few weeks, I’ve picked up some of the best and freshest produce I have gotten in years. The farmer’s market runs until November and according all the warm weather that we have been experiencing in New England has produced bumper crops this year.
The farmers market has had such an influence on me that I’m considering joining a CSA farm, community supported association. That means that each week during the main growing season and bi-weekly during the winter month I would receive local produce or meats. Gotta go, it’s Friday and I want to make sure I get the best selection and a parking spot. | agronomy |

What’s the trick to fill a tall container like this? Do you fill the whole thing up with medium?
We actually do fill the entire container with cactus soil. It ends up making the planted container pretty heavy, but it gives the plants a lot of root space for future growth.

Perdue to Rep. Yoder, ‘No Disagreement from Me on Value of Crop Insurance’
Washington, D.C. – This morning, Representative Kevin Yoder (R-KS) discussed the value of crop insurance for farmers around the country with USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue in the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture.
Secretary Perdue agreed with Representative Yoder that crop insurance is an integral part of protecting farmers and their risk-taking.
To watch a video of the hearing, click here.
Following is the exchange between Rep. Yoder and Secretary Perdue transcribed:
“Thank you Mr. Chairman.
“Mr. Secretary thanks for your testimony today. I know you have a big task ahead of you trying to balance the needs of a growing economy, and a world that depends on American agriculture. We’re the most efficient, effective producing agriculture country in the world, so as goes America so goes the rest of the world. Your work is critical to feeding so many people and we have such a charitable mission here, many of us are aware of the work we do around the globe, sending food aid to nations supporting so many hungry people and part of that is making sure we have a strong agriculture economy here in the United States.
“I grew up on a farm in Kansas and believe so strongly that our farmers are the core of what makes America great, their values, their work ethic, and what they do is essential to what makes America such a strong country. So I have a couple questions I want to ask you about.
“In the 2014 farm bill, we made a number of reductions and the president signed into law – 80% of the farm bill is the SNAP program – farmers took a very disproportionate share of the reductions in spending cuts in that bill. One of the programs that we found that was very important for farmers repeatedly discussed with us is the crop insurance program.
“I noted in the president’s budget request a 36% reduction over 10 years for crop insurance and I thought I would give you the chance to discuss the value of crop insurance and how you might see these reductions going and how important it is to maintain this program to keep a safety net for farmers. I’d also note that the agriculture economy is really struggling right now. You know, I grew up in the 80s where we saw a lot of our neighbors go bankrupt and we worried the same thing was going to happen to us. In 2017, commodity prices aren’t where they need to be so this safety net is critical for farmers who are struggling to maintain their farms at this point.
“Sir I think you won’t get any disagreement from me regarding the value of crop insurance.
“As part of that safety net, the 2014 farm bill was very wise in its construct in moving away from the direct payments into an ARC and PLC type-program. I side with crop insurance giving much of the responsibility providing for that safety net to the farmers themselves, as you indicated the budget retools that crop insurance sometimes with some means testing and other things there that reduce that.
“We know that farming is a very expensive enterprise today. Farmers when you grew up, and certainly when I grew up, you might could feed a family of four and put some kids through college on maybe 360 acres, it’s almost ten times that much now, so it’s bigger. Farming is expensive and has a lot of risk involved in it. I doubt many of us today would want to put all of our equity in the ground looking for a seed to come up each year.
“We know the dedication of them and our nation is a beneficiary of their risk-taking and those values you described. Crop insurance is an integral part of that.
“How we right size that, I think the goal of the farm bill, these are obviously policies you know will really be determined in the 2018 farm bill, from a budget perspective there will be a lot of these discussions going forward. My principle goal as USDA secretary is advise and consult you all as you deal with the farm bill, programs that let the market determine what people plan. They shouldn’t be planning for USDA programs or agriculture programs, but let the market determine the ability to move among and create products and produce products the world is asking for, rather than farming for a particular program. A little bit of that, the farm bill has worked essentially very well, there are a few issues this congress that your chairman knows, in cotton and dairy that have not been successful. But overall I think it’s been a successful farm bill.” | agronomy |

At Hydroscapes, we’re not just about irrigation and drainage; we understand the comprehensive needs of your outdoor space. This blog explores the significance of lawn aeration, a key player in maintaining a lush, robust and efficiently draining lawn, particularly vital for the Southeastern PA homeowner.
Understanding Lawn Aeration
Lawn aeration, creating small holes in your lawn, is crucial for breaking up compacted soil. Over time, soil compaction prevents essential elements like air, water and nutrients from reaching grass roots. By perforating the lawn, you facilitate an environment where these vital components can penetrate the soil more effectively. Techniques vary from manual tools like spikes to advanced machinery like core aerators, each designed to introduce oxygen, water and nutrients to your grass’s root zone.
Benefits of Lawn Aeration for Drainage
Reduce Soil Compaction
A well-aerated lawn stands as a testament to the health and vigor of your outdoor space. Soil compaction, a common issue faced by many lawns, restricts the flow of essential nutrients, water, and air to the grass’s roots. Aeration combats this problem directly by perforating the soil, thereby enhancing its structure and enabling a more robust root system. This crucial step not only invigorates your lawn but also lays the groundwork for a lush, verdant landscape.
Help Water From Pooling
Pooling water is a clear sign of drainage issues, often leading to unsightly puddles that can damage your lawn’s health and appearance. Through the strategic process of aeration, the absorption rate of the soil is significantly improved. By allowing water to penetrate deeply and evenly, aeration mitigates the risk of waterlogging and puddles, ensuring your lawn remains hydrated in a manner that promotes growth without the detrimental effects of standing water.
Help Regulate Thatch Buildup
Aeration plays a pivotal role in the regulation of thatch buildup, a critical aspect of maintaining lawn health that is often overlooked. Thatch, a layer of living and decaying plant material at the soil’s surface, can suffocate your lawn if allowed to accumulate unchecked. It acts as a barrier, preventing moisture, nutrients, and air from reaching the roots. Aerating your lawn introduces small holes into the soil, breaking up the thatch layer and facilitating the essential flow of air, water, and nutrients. This process not only helps manage thatch but also encourages healthier, more resilient grass growth.
Aeration and Lawn Health
Beyond drainage, aeration is pivotal in fostering an overall healthier lawn. It encourages beneficial microbial activity, which aids in breaking down thatch and facilitating more effective nutrient uptake. Post-aeration, lawns often display a marked improvement in vigor, color and vitality.
When and How Often to Aerate Your Lawn
Timing is everything with lawn aeration. For the residents of Southeastern PA, the transitional periods of early spring and fall are ideal, aligning with the natural growth cycles of turfgrass. Determining when to aerate involves assessing your lawn’s condition annually; signs of compaction, thinning grass or water pooling suggest it’s time to aerate. While the frequency can vary, incorporating this practice into your annual lawn maintenance routine can yield substantial benefits.
Elevate Your Lawn’s Health with Strategic Drainage Solutions
Understanding the critical role of aeration in maintaining a healthy and beautiful lawn opens up new avenues for enhancing your outdoor living space. However, achieving the perfect balance of moisture and health for your lawn extends beyond aeration alone. Specializing in comprehensive yard drainage solutions, Hydroscapes becomes your partner in transforming and protecting your lawn. While we don’t offer aeration services, our expertise in creating effective water management systems ensures your lawn benefits from the best conditions for growth and vitality. Connect with us to craft a customized strategy that not only addresses drainage challenges but also elevates your home’s outdoor appeal and functionality. | agronomy |

Posted on: Monday, August 25, 2014 by Darryl McCullough
Last Friday I enjoyed a visit to a test grove for pomegranate varieties, at the McTeer Farm in Haines City. The event was sponsored by the Florida Pomegranate Association, a small but dedicated group working toward making pomegranates a commercial crop in Florida.
The two-acre plot receives some support from IFAS, and direction from Dr. Bill Castle of the Citrus Research Education Center. Dr. Castle has devoted considerable study to this unique fruit in recent years. He doesn't think that pomegranates will be a substitute for citrus, but rather a diversifier that might add to the bottom line.
There are more than five hundred varieties of pomegranates, and the CREC collection alone has more than eighty. The challenge is to find which of them will not only prosper in Florida's humid summer weather, but also produce a marketable product.
The McTeer test plot has 180 trees, of more than 40 varieties. Their trees are still fairly young, the oldest having only five years in the ground. So it's too early for any final conclusions, but owner Emory McTeer summarized the early results for the fifty or so in attendance. His favorite for taste, at this point, is Azadi, with Angel Red a strong second and Russian #8 showing potential. As for yield, the Big Yellow, often called Vietnamese, is highly productive but the fruit is not of high quality. Girkanet is notably high-yielding, and Wonderful, the grocery store variety widely grown in California, has worked fairly well. Other varieties mentioned by Emory include Salavatski, Al-sirin-Nar, and Vkusnyi, and also Shari, Christina, Gainey Sweet, and Larkin (Marianna).
Laid out in generous 12-by-18 spacing, the pom trees were a lovely sight, but the sun damage to the fruit skins was quite noticeable. Though not harmful to the arils inside, it presents a challenge for fresh-fruit sales. It can be prevented by repeated spraying with Kaolin clay particle film, although at commercial scale this might be a cost issue. Several of those I spoke with think that the main commercial potential for the fruit is as juice, or processed into packaged arils.
For any of us with an interest in growing pomegranates, Dr. Bill Castle will be speaking at the Tropical Fruit Society of Sarasota meeting August 26. The site is the main meeting room at Selby Gardens, and times and other details are available at the club's website. If you have an acre or so sitting around and would like to help IFAS explore the commercial potential of pomegranates in Florida, this would be a great opportunity to speak with Dr. Castle about support that might be available. | agronomy |

The winter vegetables have taken off over the last month and we are already using baby Brussels, purple sprouting, kales and cabbages of endless varieties. Game will be featuring soon along with fruits like pears, plums and fig, the selection of delicious autumnal mushrooms and the earthy warming celeriac, gourds and brassicas. Cobnuts, acorns and chestnuts start to ripen and the Southern shellfish begin to taste even fresher with the colder waters.
Dishes with more comforting flavours signify the nights are getting slightly earlier and colder, such as caramel, muscovado and cinnamon paired with white chocolate and variations of the garden’s wonderful apples. The flavours and textures of the apple elements evolving over the coming months depending on the specific variety - Greensleeves are up now, shortly followed by the best tasting early cropper, Discovery.
Below is an apple chutney recipe we use to accompany our local cheese board, but it would work well with cold meats/terrines or especially a sandwich filling with left over roasts.
Garden Apple Chutney
300g of peeled and finely diced white onions
10g crushed fennel seeds
2g ground clove
2g ground cinnamon
1 very finely diced red chilli
10g yellow mustard seeds
20ml rapeseed oil
1 orange, zest and juice only
150g dark brown sugar
200ml white wine vinegar
1.5 kg peeled, cored and roughly diced cooking apples
Soak the sultanas overnight in water, and then drain off well. Sweat the onions, fennel seeds, clove, cinnamon, chilli and mustard seeds in the rapeseed oil until soft. Add the sultanas, orange, sugar and vinegar and simmer for 15 minutes until reduced by about half. Add the apples and continue to cook for a further 10 minutes until the apples begin to fall apart. Add to sterilised jars, cover, cool and store.

Soil sampling equipment will be made of metals that won’t react with minerals in the soil in order to prevent contamination. They will have a column that is drilled or pushed into the ground in order to grab up a sample.
How soil sampling equipments work
There are several methods of digging up samples. The majority of them are man-powered, but mechanical options are available. Augers and probes take a column of soil for sampling. Shovels, scoops, and spades are used to dig up surface level, loose soil. Core samplers are augers/probes that draw the sample into a removable liner. Kits that have multiple samplers are popular options. | agronomy |

That is what we convey with our self-made wines from different vineyards at the river Mosel. Our winery spreads across six hectars, the majority is steep slopes. Our vines grow on grey and blue slate and the steep slopes account for the optimal amount of sunshine. During the day, the rays of sunshine are stored by the slate soil and the Mosel and the warmth is then given to the vines at night. In combination with the minerality of the different slate soils it is possible to create wines which can hardly be compared to regarding minerality and fruit with a finely bound acid.
Experience our wines at a wine tasting, offered by the master winemaker Hubertus Clüsserath. Aside from dry and semi-dry Riesling wines as well as fruity and sweet ones and those with an intensive berry aroma, we also offer other grape varieties.
Wines for every taste
Our Riesling wines are divided into the sections basic wine, mountain Riesling, the fruity class, precious dessert wines and not to forget our „Moselwinzersekt“, our sparkling wine.
Uncomplicated grape varieties with a lot of character and expression complementing perfectly our Riesling offers.
The Non-Riesling grape varieties:
Even the basic wine already appeals through its fruity elegance and finesse. This is pure Riesling, the way it should taste.
Here, the good wines grow, the way we wish them to be. They are created with our hands, our knowledge and experience refine them. With a passionate heart we create what we have in mind: unique wines with character and individuality mirroring their terroir and the uniqueness of the landscape surrounding the river Mosel.
refers to wines which are fruity and full of finesse, having moderate alcohol content, the way they can only be produced at the river Mosel. The fruity, discreetly sweet and sweet wines, holding a fine acidity and minerality, provide a special and intense experience of flavour, which still fascinates even after years of aging in the bottle.
These are of a special quality and a concentrate made by nature. Because of the late harvest, the berries shrink and the juice becomes a high-quality concentrate. In the case of ice wines, the concentration is a result of the frost.

The plant root system anchors the plant body to the soil and provides physical support. Root systems There are two main types of root systems: tap root and fibrous root system. Root system architecture (RSA) is required for the acquisition of water and mineral nutrients from the soil. For climbing, some plants have climbing roots that help the plant to climb up a support like a wall, rock, or tree, e.g., money plant, black pepper, and betel. Plants that grow in stagnant water or other watery places have modified roots called pneumatophores to which oxygen from the air diffuses. with a height of 7 meters can have lateral roots up to 200 meters in length. Water and minerals absorb directly from the soil through the tree’s root system into the stem to be distributed to the leaves, flowers, fruits, etc. In contrast, a fibrous root system is located closer to the soil surface where it forms a dense network of roots that also helps prevent soil erosion (lawn grasses are a good example, as are wheat, rice, and corn). The primary function of a root system is to provide some of the raw materials (namely minerals and water) that the plant needs for carrying out the process of photosynthesis. From the root, these are moved upward. The root's major functions are: absorption of water and inorganic nutrients; anchoring of the plant body to the ground, and supporting it; Secondary functions may include: storage of food and nutrients; The Function of the Shoot System The shoot system works closely in part to the root system of the plant. Anchorage and support. Redwood trees (a gymnosperm) about 100 meters tall have stood erect for thousand years only because millions of individual fibrous roots dig into the ground, even though the depth of penetration is only up to about 5 meters. Root growth begins with seed germination. 3. Click here for more examples of plants that can be propagated by root cuttings. With rare exception, roots also lack stomata. Root system architecture (RSA) is required for the acquisition of water and mineral nutrients from the soil.

Strawberries are the first to arrive, in early June. We grow both the traditional June berry variety, as well as the ever-bearing (also known as day-neutral) fruit. What's the difference? It's all about how the plant responds to sunlight. The June berries produce fruit during, well, June mostly! Once the days start to really lengthen and the weather heats up, production stops. Ever-bearing plants, however, do not respond to the sunlight this way, and continue to produce strawberries all through the summer and into the fall, until the first frost!
Raspberries make their way into season during early July. Although some Ontario farms grow both a summer and a fall variety, we only grow the summer variety.
Blueberries are not far behind! These delectable little berries are the newest addition to the Thames River Melons berry family, with 201 marking our 7th year of harvest. | agronomy |

The Rise of Agricultural Jobs in Minecraft:
As Minecraft evolved, players discovered the joy of cultivating crops, raising livestock, and managing farmsteads. This led to the emergence of Minecraft servers dedicated to creating immersive farming experiences. Within these servers, players can take on agricultural jobs, simulating the challenges and rewards of real-life farming. This not only adds depth to the gameplay but also provides unique opportunities for creativity and entrepreneurship.
Farming Roles and Specializations:
Minecraft servers that focus on agriculture often offer a range of farming roles and specializations for players to pursue. These may include:
a) Crop Farmers: Players who specialize in cultivating crops like wheat, carrots, potatoes, and various other plants. They focus on maximizing yields, managing irrigation systems, and experimenting with different farming techniques.
b) Livestock Farmers: Players who focus on breeding and managing livestock, such as cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep. They may be responsible for ensuring adequate food supplies, breeding for desirable traits, and maintaining animal welfare.
c) Agronomists: These players act as agricultural consultants, providing advice and expertise on optimal farming practices. They may conduct research, experiment with crop genetics, and develop innovative farming methods.
d) Farm Managers: Players who oversee the overall operations of large-scale farms, including resource management, budgeting, and strategic decision-making. They coordinate the efforts of different farming roles and ensure the farm's profitability and sustainability.
Trading and Market Systems:
One fascinating aspect of Minecraft farming servers is the establishment of robust trading and market systems. These systems allow players to buy and sell agricultural products, creating a virtual economy based on supply and demand. Players can become entrepreneurs, setting up stalls or shops to sell their farm produce, negotiating prices, and even engaging in barter systems with other players. This fosters a sense of community and cooperation as players collaborate and compete in the virtual marketplace.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation:
The business of farming in Minecraft encourages entrepreneurship and innovation. Players have the opportunity to devise creative solutions to farming challenges, develop unique products, and explore sustainable farming practices. They can experiment with automated farming systems, implement advanced technologies, and create value-added products. This entrepreneurial spirit drives player engagement and promotes the exchange of ideas within the Minecraft farming community.
Cooperative Farming and Collaboration:
Minecraft farming servers often foster cooperative farming efforts, where players come together to establish large-scale communal farms. This collaborative approach allows for shared resources, specialized divisions of labor, and efficient utilization of land and equipment. Cooperative farming not only strengthens bonds within the Minecraft community but also mirrors the cooperative nature of real-world agricultural practices. | agronomy |

After Parliament passed the Tea Bill and the Senate approved it on Monday, the president's signature is the only requirement needed to transform the bill into a law. The Tea Bill was sponsored by Kericho senator, Aaron Cheruiyot, who hoped to see that the farmers were released from the shackles of meagre remittances and rife mismanagement observed in the tea industry.
The Bill seeks to regulate the Tea sector by reviving the Tea Board of Kenya, a parastatal that will have the mandate to market Kenyan tea, ensure that farmers are paid on time, and regulate the tea industry.
Tea farmers will also enjoy prompt payments since the Kenya Tea Development Agency will cease to keep hold of farmers' payments because the law will require tea brokers, buyers, and auctioneers to pay farmers 50 percent of their total sales in 14 days.
Kenyan Farmers (Standard media)
Interestingly, KTDA will not have access to the farmers' money since the sales process will be conducted directly with the tea factories. After accessing half of the receipt payment in a record two-weeks, farmers will have to wait for the balance at the end of the financial year. When signed into law, the tea bill will give the Cabinet Secretary or Minister for Agriculture the power to impose regulations on tea agencies such as KTDA while directing regulations for the tea auction.
It will also increase transparency by ensuring that tea farmers and other stakeholders in the supply chain can understand the intricacies of the supply chain process by establishing an accessible electronic trading platform that will show them how much their produce was sold. The Tea Research Foundation will be established to ensure that thorough research concerning the tea sector is conducted. Regarding taxation, farmers will have their burden reduced as the bill seeks to lower taxes imposed on them.
These actions will streamline activities such as marketing the tea and licensing tea brokers, therefore, getting rid of all the deficiencies and inefficiencies plaguing in the tea industry. | agronomy |

Your irrigation to the plants and fish are similar to your own circulatory system. It is crucial that they be in good health and properly balanced.
You can use timers to segment the flow of water when needed or even leaving on all day if necessary. *Keep in mind that pumps will not last long if they consistantly have hard starts and stops, especially the bigger pumps.
You can use bell syphons or solenoids to relegate where the water is going.
Set you irrigation up in such a way that all the individual plants are getting equal amounts of water by keeping the pressure balanced properly.
You can also keep the pressure balance across the system by using regulated fittings and Valves at appropriate points along the flow of water.
Typically water is pumped to the fish through PVC pipes, then water through PVC or Poly tubing to the plants.
Generally 1 inch mains work best with 1/2 inch risers connected to the mains. Keep the pies in place using clamps and pipe collars.
Remember that larger pipes will mean a pump that pushes more pressure. For typical home brewed aquaponics systems you won't need more then a 1 horsepower pump and more often then not, a 1/2 or 3/4 horsepower pump is more than enough.
Another tip* Black poly tubing pipes will heat up in the sun so you can kill any bacteria that's in the water. Just stop the flow of a zone and leave it for a half an hour and you will have sterilized that portion of the system. Don't over do it though as the tubing will soften with too much heat and become ineffective.

This was such a fun day! We had lovely weather (a reprieve from the hotter temps!) and a super fun family with whom to enjoy it. The farm is about an hour away, so we spent most of the trip listening to more of “Anne of Green Gables”. I literally laughed out loud a bunch of times and I’m getting really eager to show the boys the movies I grew up adoring as a girl.
We spent a few hours there. Part of the time the kids were playing…
…but most of the time we were riding on a wagon out to various parts of the field to pick our fruit and veggies. Each person got 4 bags of produce!! We ended up with lots of corn, peppers, tomatoes and pumpkin. We also picked some broccoli, beets, potatoes and celery. I’m certain I’m missing some of the produce we picked, but suffice it to say, we LOVED it!
The field trip didn’t end there…the boys wanted to help me clean and cut veggies when we got home, too!
Thankful for opportunities to take our learning outside and to get dirty! | agronomy |

It's been raining a lot over here so we weren't able to get too many pictures. Besides, I've got some weeding to do before I show the entire garden. ;) In the mean time, here are some snapshots of what's been growing! (you can see what it looked like in February here)
So this is the newest section of our garden. My dad went out on a limb and bought some blueberry plants sooo we had to make this to put them in! We've also got some banana peppers, rosemary, citronella, green onions, bell peppers, and some chard growing here. And I think that's lavender to the left?
These are our bell peppers. I'm pretty proud of these, I grew them from seed :)
And this is one of the banana peppers. I had to buy this one from the store, I could not find banana pepper seeds to save my life!
Here are our little cherry tomatoes! Although you can't see, the one on the left has about twice as many tomatoes as this one! Also, I don't know what's up with the yellowing and spots on the leaves? Any advice/suggestions??
Here I've got some brussel sprouts growin'. They're HUGE! Also some Jalapeno plants that I grew from seeds (these are going out to friends) and some celery that I grew from the end of one I got from the store!
Our broccoli is doing fantastic.
And these are our sweet peas, also doing pretty good. These are the only things we've been able to harvest so far and boy are they yummy!

Sarumathi
With numerous scholarly papers on health hazards of pesticide usage in food and hullabaloo created about genetically modified vegetables, people have been forced to think twice before buying from local department stores.
A luscious apple might have been polished with wax, the beautiful greens (the supreme source of wellness) might have artificial colour in them, and behind the tempting smell of mango the sinister calcium carbide might be at work. If health boosters become health imperilments, where do people turn to? ‘Go organic’ seems to be the call of many.
India for Safe Food, an electronic forum, is a movement being spearheaded by ASHA (Alliance for Sustainable and Holistic Agriculture). Working in the area of agriculture, environment, farmer and consumer rights, the forum has been trying to shift attention of consumers on alternative food choices.
With no chemical, no GM as its tagline, it has joined hands with other organisations to bring ‘safe food’ option to people. Along with Safe Food Alliance, the forum, run by group of volunteers, has been setting up organic food melas in various cities.
Stalls put up
After the success of the first mela in the city, the forum decided to reach out to more people and with the help of local groups like Exnora, it organised a safe food mela at Anna Park, United India Colony, Kodambakkam recently.
Stalls were put up by six organic outlets including, Dhanyam (T. Nagar), Vanilla Organic (West Mambalam), Vendure organic, Aditya organic (Vadapalani), Restore organic (Adyar), and Nalla Keerai (Thiruninravur).
To encourage home grown food, special stalls on terrace gardening and composting were also put up. A three-pot composting system was explained to visitors as a means of converting household waste into manure for home gardens. People were also treated to ready-to-eat food made from organic products.
Getting very good response from residents, Ananthoo, member of Safe Food Alliance, said, “More local groups should come forward and help us spread this message. If we don’t reach the grass root levels, the campaign will have no meaning at all. The Government should also encourage opening of organic stores at the taluk level. Safe food option should be accessible and affordable to all.”
While many visitors said that they would make a conscious effort to shift to organically grown food, some like Balasubramanium, a retired engineer, said that the cost of organic food is prohibitive. “With prices of food increasing, not many can afford to go organic. These food items are priced high, and why spend so much on items one can get at a less rate in department stores,” asks Balasubramaniam.
But Ananthoo says that the demand and supply rule will apply to organic food as well.
“With demand increasing, prices will fall automatically. Also there is something known as fair price which determines the cost of products in the market. Moreover, prices of organic food item are marked up only by 10 to 15 per cent.”
There were others who refused to make any changes in their food buying habits. “How can we be sure what organic stores sell indeed are organic,” they asked.
To lend support
While the debate on whether to stick to food sold in super markets or change to organic alternatives goes on, people who want to lend support to India for Safe Food can log on to indiaforsafefood.in and sign the online petition for policy change and access to safe food. People can also give a missed call to 022-3301 0031 in support of the cause. | agronomy |

According to a study conducted for the National Biodiesel Board, each new production facility (10m gallons per year) creates 635 new jobs in the economy.
Despite this high volume, less than 3 percent of the nation's annual soybean harvest is used for U.S. biodiesel production, leaving ample supplies for other uses of soybeans.
When soybeans are processed:
85 percent is crushed for meal, which is primarily used for livestock feed.
- The remaining 15 percent is oil that can be used for many different products including biodiesel.
Biodiesel is also an economic win for the livestock industry. As a result of the increased demand for soybean oil, soybean meal availability has increased.
A 2011 report titled "Soybean Oil and Meal Economics: How Livestock Producers Benefit from Biodiesel Production"details recent industry developments and examines what could happen to the market if biodiesel did not use the excess oil produced in the crushing process.

No. Industrial hemp is NOT the same as marijuana although they both belong to the same cannabis plant genus. They, in other words, are two distinctly different varieties of the same Cannabis Sativa plant species and have different biochemical compositions and uses. Industrial hemp is a non-psychoactive variety and the products derived from it are used mainly for food, fiber, fuel, and other industrial purposes whereas marijuana, the psychoactive cousin of hemp, is used primarily for medicinal and recreational purposes.
So, if they are not the same, what are the major differences between industrial hemp and marijuana?
What makes industrial hemp different from marijuana is its low level of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content, i.e. below 0.3%. However, marijuana used for medicinal and recreational purposes has THC content ranging between 2% to over 20%, which causes one to feel “high” if consumed. Besides the Cannabis Sativa, there is another putative species of the cannabis genus named Cannabis Indica, which is used typically for the production of charas (a form of hashish) in some countries. However, this species also has higher levels of THC and hence, is fundamentally different from industrial hemp variety used for food and fiber. Here is a common example used to elucidate the difference between industrial hemp and marijuana. A St. Bernard and a Chihuahua are two different varieties of dogs, but they both are different breeds of the same Canine species. Likewise, though marijuana and industrial hemp come from the same species of plant, they are two fundamentally different varieties with different uses, modes of cultivation, scientific features, biochemical composition, and THC content.
What is THC?
Plants belonging to the cannabis genus contain unique psychoactive constituents called cannabinoids. The most well-known among these cannabinoids is Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol, popularly known by the acronym THC. However, different plants of cannabis genus contain varying levels of THC. The high level of THC content (ranging between 2% to 20%) is credited with making marijuana psychoactive variety of cannabis, while significantly negligible levels of the same compound make industrial hemp a non-psychoactive variety of the same genus.
What is the THC content in industrial hemp?
As against its marijuana counterpart, industrial hemp contains lower and comparatively negligible amounts of Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The THC content of industrial hemp is below 0.3%, which is why food products made from it are considered safe for consumption. Moreover, industrial hemp contains another cannabinoid, namely Cannabidiol (CBD) which is found to counter the effects of THC, and also has a number of medicinal properties and benefits. In marijuana, however, the level of THC is significantly higher (ranging between 2% to over 20%) and CBD content is lower as compared to industrial hemp.
What is CBD? And what are its medical benefits?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the active cannabinoids found in industrial hemp and other plants belonging to the cannabis family. Unlike THC, another cannabinoid identified in such plants, CBD is a non-psychoactive compound. This means that the presence of CBD in industrial hemp doesn’t cause one to get “high” on consumption. On the other hand, it is found to have many therapeutic and medicinal benefits. A review published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology in 2013 found that CBD has antiemetic, anticonvulsant, antipsychotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-tumoral and anti-depressant properties. A fascinating property of this compound is that is can offer natural protection against the psychoactive properties of marijuana. The medicinal benefits of CBD are still being researched, and its therapeutic potentials are being explored by researchers across the world. Since industrial hemp has high levels of CBD content and negligible levels of THC, food products made from it are said to have many health benefits.
Is hemp cultivation legal in India?
Yes. Cultivation of industrial hemp for seed, fiber, etc. is legal in India provided that the THC content of the plants grown for such purposes is less than 0.3%. However, unlike in the case of many other agricultural and cash crops, there are no national ministries or regulatory bodies established exclusively for industrial hemp. Currently, India doesn’t have a national framework either for the cultivation of hemp or for the production and commercialization of hemp-based products. As per the NDPS act 1985, state governments are vested with the power to grant permission for industrial hemp cultivation in different Indian states.
Is Indian climate and geography suitable for hemp cultivation?
Absolutely. Unlike many other agricultural and cash crops, industrial hemp can grow under most climatic and geographic conditions. Currently, this magic crop is cultivated in many countries with varied climate and geographical specificities, such as the cold regions of Canada, hot and humid conditions of Australia, etc. The tropical climatic conditions and the diverse soil conditions in India are suitable for industrial hemp since it can adapt well to temperate as well as tropical climatic zones. It has been observed that hemp plants grow and yield their best when cultivated in warm climates. Besides this, exposure to longer durations of sunlight, ample moisture, and soil fertility contribute to the growth, quality, and yield of industrial hemp.
What are the agricultural benefits of industrial hemp compared to other agricultural or cash crops?
As an agricultural crop, industrial hemp has certain features that make it an ideal choice for cultivation. Here are some such features:
- Growth rate: Industrial hemp is a fast-growing crop compared to many others. It typically can be harvested within 75 to 90 days of seeding. This means that farmers can grow industrial hemp multiple times through the year, which makes it an economically profitable agricultural option for rural farming communities.
- Climatic and geographic conditions: Industrial hemp can be cultivated in a variety of climatic and geographic conditions, from tropic to temperate. It grows all through the seasons and under many geographic conditions and terrains.
- Land usage: Another fascinating feature of industrial hemp is its efficiency in terms of land usage. If grown under optimal conditions, it is found to yield about 200% more per acre than cotton.
- Fewer resources: Unlike most of its substitutes, hemp plants require fewer resources at different stages of its cultivation. Most importantly, it is easy on the soil, resistant to drought and increased UV radiation, and can be grown in the same soil for consecutive years without depleting the nutrients in the soil.
- Naturally resistant to pests and weeds: Here is the winner! Industrial hemp plants can naturally repel weed growth and are immune to many diseases and insect attacks. As a result, hemp can be grown, even on a commercial scale, with negligible pesticides and herbicides. As the plants are highly resistant to pests and diseases, crop loss due to pests and diseases can be ruled out to a considerable extent.
What are the environmental benefits of industrial hemp?
Industrial hemp is an excellent option for substituting many highly toxic, pollution-causing, non-biodegradable products we use in our day-to-day lives. Here are some of the environmental benefits of hemp:
- Soil fertility: It is proven that cultivation of industrial hemp increases the fertility of the soil. When allowed to dry in the field, hemp plants return up to 60% of the nutrients they have taken from the soil.
- Removal of toxins and harmful chemicals: Industrial hemp removes the harmful effects of fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides from the soil. Many countries have turned to hemp cultivation as a means to remove harmful chemicals and toxins. For instance, the Fukushima Nuclear Leak has prompted Japan to cultivate hemp in order to remove the aftereffects of radiation.
- Biodegradability: The products made from industrial hemp are 100% biodegradable compared to their non-hemp counterparts; they are recyclable, as well. Biomass fuels produced from hemp can offer a non-toxic and cleaner alternative to the fossil fuels we use today. When used for paper pulp production, it can help reduce deforestation to a considerable degree; hemp fiber offers an excellent and recyclable substitute for petroleum-based synthetic fibers that are harmful to the environment at many levels. As for building materials, hempcrete can be used instead of wood; it not only reduces cost but also saves trees.
QUESTIONS ABOUT HEMP PRODUCTS
If I recently consumed a hemp-based food product, will I come positive in the drug screening test?
No. If your test results are based solely on the hemp-based product you have consumed (that is, you should not have consumed any other food with psychoactive compounds), you will not come positive in drug screening tests. Firstly, industrial hemp has negligible levels of THC, so food products derived from it will have in them little or non-detectable traces of it. Secondly, all hemp-based food products should be certified by regulatory bodies and tested in third party laboratories for THC content before they reach markets. Different countries have different regulations regarding what the THC content should be. For instance, Canada has a legal limit of 10 PPM (parts per million) while some European countries have set this limit as 5 PPM. As a result of such non-traceable levels of THC content, the hemp food products you consume will not give positive results on drug screening.
Are hemp-based foods safe for children and pregnant women?
Yes, absolutely! Food products derived from industrial hemp are considered safe for children and pregnant women. In fact, hemp has numerous nutritional benefits because it contains folic acid, essential fatty acids, Omega 6, Omega 3, essential amino acids, plant-based protein, dietary fiber, etc. So hemp food products are considered beneficial for the health of children and pregnant women. However, like any other food product, hemp food too should be consumed in moderation and the serving size should be determined according to a person’s body weight and other determining factors. If you are a pregnant woman, as a general rule it is safe to get a green signal from your doctor before you add anything new to your diet, including hemp foods.
How is hemp used for clothing? What are the benefits of hemp clothes?
The stalk of industrial hemp is a great source of natural fibers, and can be processed for making clothes and accessories such as shirts, dresses, jeans, bags, hats, and many others. It is interesting to note that until the 1920s, hemp was widely used for making clothes; the first pair of Levi jeans was made from hemp fiber. Hemp clothes are strong, lightweight, absorbent, durable, cost-effective, and easy on the environment. Moreover, they are naturally resistant to ultraviolet light and mold. Breathability is another strong suit of clothes made from hemp, and they stretch lesser compared to many other natural fibers. Hemp fiber is an extremely versatile material, so it can be blended with other fibers for producing clothing of different textures and qualities.
Is hemp better than cotton? Does hemp fabric last like other fabrics such as cotton or polyester?
Industrial hemp has certain added advantages when we consider the resources used for cultivation. For instance, industrial hemp requires only half the amount of water used for producing cotton. The use of large quantities of pesticides is considered one of the greatest downsides of cotton, but industrial hemp doesn’t need any pesticide because it is naturally resistant to insects and weeds. Compared to cotton, clothing made from hemp fabric may be a little rough in texture, but it gets progressively softer with wearing and washing. Hemp clothes possess all the qualities normally attributed to cotton, such as great comfort, longevity, breathability, etc. On the whole, hemp clothes make an excellent substitute for cotton fabrics in terms of their aesthetical properties, fabric quality, and more importantly, environmental friendliness.
Do hemp food products have any side effects?
Hemp food products don’t have any known side effects if consumed moderately under defined conditions and in defined quantities. However, they can have possible interactions with certain medicines because of the high levels of Omega 3 fatty acids they contain. For instance, Omega 3 fatty acids are likely to increase the effects of blood-thinning medicines such as aspirin and clopidogrel. Likewise, they may also increase the levels of fasting blood sugar, so those who are under medication for diabetes (for instance, medicines such as insulin, glyburide, glucophage, etc.) should exercise caution when taking hemp-based food products. If you have any of the above conditions, it is strongly advised that you consult your doctor before you include hemp food in your diet. Similarly, people with bleeding disorders or those who bruise easily should talk to their healthcare provider before including hemp food in their diet because Omega 3 fatty acids are likely to add to the risk of bleeding.
What are the nutritional benefits of hemp food products?
Hemp seeds are loaded with nutritional benefits, especially because they are excellent sources of protein and essential fatty oils. In addition to these, food products derived from industrial hemp also contain a wide range of vitamins and minerals important in our diet. Here is a quick overview of the nutritional profile of hemp seeds:
- Polyunsaturated fats (good fats): The dietary fat contained in hemp seeds is composed primarily of polyunsaturated fats, also known as the good fats. Of the total fatty acids hemp seeds contain, 80% is composed of polyunsaturated fats. The remaining 20 % is comprised of monounsaturated fats (11%) and saturated fats (9%). It contains zero trans fats.
- Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs): Hemp-based food products also contain Omega 3 (alpha linolenic acid) and Omega 6 (Linoleic acid), two essential fatty acids required by our body. Since the human body cannot synthesize essential fatty acids on its own, they should be given to our body by means of food. Hemp food products serve as a great way of providing our body with the essential fatty acids our body needs. It is to be noted here that the ratio of Omega 6: Omega 3 in hemp food products is 3:1, which is the optimum ratio for growth and development, and also for the health of our heart.
- Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) and Stearidonic Acid (SDA): Hemp-based foods are excellent sources of naturally occurring GLA (the direct metabolite of Omega 6) and SDA (the direct metabolite of Omega 3). Both GLA and SDA are crucial for the proper function of our anti-immune and anti-inflammation systems.
- Plant based protein: Hemp seeds are natural sources of plant based protein. The high amounts of vegan protein contained in them are not only of high quality but also highly digestible. Another important feature of hemp protein is that it is free of trypsin inhibitors.
- Dietary fiber: The dietary insoluble fiber, an inevitable component of a healthy diet, is found abundantly in hemp seeds. They contain 10% soluble fiber and 90% insoluble fiber. As a result, hemp foods are considered excellent for the health and proper functioning of our digestive system.
- Essential Amino Acids (EAAs): Amino acids are considered as the building blocks of protein and are important for lean body mass and muscular repair. Our body requires 10 essential amino acids that are supplied through the dietary fiber, most of which are contained in hemp seeds. They have an impressive portfolio containing good levels of enzyme-producing EAAs such as arginine, histidine, methionine, and cysteine.
- Gluten free: Food products made from industrial hemp are inherently free of gluten, a protein found in most grains. Hemp flour, thus, is an ideal substitute for its gluten-filled counterparts.
What kind of carbohydrates/sugars does hemp contain?
Industrial hemp doesn’t contain starch, but it contains sugar in the form of sucrose in considerably small quantities. The whole hemp seed is composed of 35.4% carbohydrates, of which more than 34% is dietary insoluble fiber and the rest is sucrose. For more details on the nutritional profile of hemp seeds, see the previous question.
Where does hemp protein powder come from?
Hemp protein powder is made from the nutrient-dense whole seeds of industrial hemp plants. It is one of the best and richest sources of plant-based protein and contains an impressive portfolio of amino acids, and most of the essential amino acids our body needs.
What is the difference between hemp seed hearts and hemp seeds?
Hemp seed hearts are raw hemp seeds, but with their outer shell removed. They are also known as hemp nuts and hemp hearts. Hemp hearts are said to contain higher quantities of protein compared to whole seeds and have a more pronounced nutty and sweet flavor compared to non-hulled hemp seeds.

- FAQ - AquaCrop
- AquaCrop is a crop water productivity model developed by the Land and Water Division of FAO. It simulates yield response to water of herbaceous crops, and is particularly suited to address conditions where water is a key limiting factor in crop production. AquaCrop attempts to balance accuracy, simplicity, and robustness. It uses a relatively small number of explicit and mostly-intuitive parameters and input variables requiring simple methods for their determination.
- Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security.
- The CCAFS is a strategic collaboration researching climate change and food security run by the CGIAR. It is from here that statistically downscaled data was retrieved from for the creation of the crop yield projections. The downscaling of Global Climate Models (GCM's) is an essential step to allow for regional studies where climate predictions are required. Most GCM's have spatial resolutions of 100m or greater, making regional data very course and likley missing large amounts of spatial variability. There are two types of downscaling, statistical and dynamic. Dynamic downscaling fits GCM outputs into regional meteorological models. These are very computational and resource heavy approaches. Statistical downscaling, the approached used in this project, use a series of equations to attempt to predict local values based off of GCM data as well as local variables such as jet stream locations.

There’s been some interest from volunteers in developing the planted areas at Bramley Baths to make the space more welcoming and enjoyable for people in the area to use – a garden by the community for the community. The ideas so far include growing fruit and veg that people could pick and eat, sharing gardening tips, showing kids how to grow things and how to support bees, birds and other wildlife, and experimenting with growing edibiles on the balcony around the pool. Other ideas include upcycling old wooden beach chair frames, with new canvas seats made or decorated by local people, craft and school groups, and having games and toys available for families to use.
A group of Friends have begun to discuss some ideas and would love to involve other people. No experience is needed, just enthusiasm – and you can give a little time, or lots of time -it’s up to you. One idea talked about was to maintain the garden using a self-organizing model that Tamsin Constable suggested, having visited Swillington Farm – which enables people to check a noticeboard for current jobs needed doing in the garden. This approach means people can do as little or as much as they’re able to, drop in on your way to the shops, or spend 10 minutes watering with the family after swimming lessons…We loved the ethos of this and of sharing the results together.
If you’re interested, some of the garden volunteers will be potting out plants that have been donated by Sassy Divas following a brilliant talk they organised in Bramley by Incredible Edible Todmorden, and All Hands On Deck.
When: Saturday at 11.30am-12.30pm Where: Bramley Baths garden.If you’d like to join in, find out more about people’s ideas and contribute your own ideas to making the garden grow…come along! Bring a trowell if you can. Everyone’s welcome for 5 minutes or 60 minutes!
And if you know anyone who might like to donate an old wooden beach chair that other volunteers could upcycle for people to use in the garden, please email [email protected] – or pop along on Saturday. | agronomy |

THIS POST IS A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE DETERMINATION BY CLIMATE SCIENCE THAT RISING ATMOSPHERIC CO2 IS A TOXIC TIME BOMB FOR CASSAVA AGRICULTURE BECAUSE HIGHER ATMOSPHERIC CO2 LEVELS CAUSE CASSAVA TO BECOME TOXIC.
PART-1: WHAT THE SOURCE ARTICLE SAYS
Crops face toxic timebomb in warmer world: By David Fogarty, Climate Change Correspondent, Asia, SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Staples such as cassava on which millions of people depend become more toxic and produce much smaller yields in a world with higher carbon dioxide levels and more drought, Australian scientists say.
A farm of El Charcote in the central state of Cojedes, Venezuela.
The findings, presented on Monday at a conference in Glasgow, Scotland, underscored the need to develop climate-change-resistant cultivars to feed rapidly growing human populations, said Ros Gleadow of the Monash University in Melbourne. Gleadow’s team tested cassava and sorghum under a series of climate change scenarios, with particular focus on different CO2 levels, to study the effect on plant nutritional quality and yield. Both species belong to a group of plants that produce chemicals called cyanogenic glycosides, which break down to release poisonous cyanide gas if the leaves are crushed or chewed. Around 10 percent of all plants and 60 percent of crop species produce cyanogenic glycosides. The team grew cassava and sorghum at three different levels of CO2; just below today’s current levels at about 360 parts per million in the atmosphere, at about 550 ppm and about double at 710 pm. Current levels in the air are just under 390 ppm, around the highest in at least 800,000 years and up by about a third since the start of the Industrial Revolution. “What we found was the amount of cyanide relative to the amount of protein increases,” in cassava. At double current CO2 levels, the level of toxin was much higher while protein levels fell. The ability of people and herbivores, such as cattle, to break down the cyanide depends largely on eating sufficient protein. Anyone largely reliant on cassava for food, particularly during drought, would be especially at risk of cyanide poisoning. While it was possible to use processing techniques to reduce the level of toxin in the cassava leaves, it was the 50 percent or greater drop in the number of tubers that caused most concern, Gleadow said.About 750 million people in Africa, Asia and Latin America rely on cassava as a staple. The starchy tubers are used to make flour and the plant is ideal in dry regions because of its hardy nature. The good news was that the levels of toxin in the tuber didn’t increase with CO2, unlike the edible leaves. “The downside of that is that we found the plant didn’t grow nearly as well. There’s been this common assumption that plants will always grow better in a high CO2 world. And we’ve now found that these plants grew much worse and had smaller tubers. At the 550 ppm level, the problem was not as serious and this meant scientists had a bit of breathing space. “We’ve got 20 to 30 years to develop cultivars, which is going to be absolutely essential because by then about 1 billion people will probably be reliant on cassava. Gleadow’s group looked at a type of sorghum commonly fed to cattle in Australia and Africa and found it became less toxic at the highest CO2 level. But under drought conditions, leaf toxin levels rose. She said her team was looking at creating mutations to get rid of the toxin response to drought. “If we’re going to adapt in the future to a world with twice today’s CO2 we need to understand how plants are working, how they are responding and what cultivars we need to develop.
PART-2: CRITICAL COMMENTARY
IN A RELATED POST, WE DESCRIBE GREENHOUSE AGRICULTURE OPERATIONS WHERE CO2 LEVELS OF 1000 TO 2000 PPM ARE ROUTINELY USED.
WE ALSO NOTE THAT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE WORLD’S CASAVA PRODUCTION IS CARRIED OUT IN GREENHOUSES. THAT 400PPM OF CO2 TURNS CASAVA INTO A TOXIC SUBSTANCE IS NOT CREDIBLE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.
THE EXPERIMENTAL STUDY CITED TO SUPPORT SUCH CAUSATION NEEDS MORE CAREFUL ANALYSIS WITH THE DETAILS OF THE DATA INCLUDING DATA THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION PERHAPS AS A CONSEQUENCE OF A BIAS IN THE RESEARCH QUESTION THAT SEEKS NOT TO FIND THE REASON FOR TOXICITY BUT FOR WAYS TO RELATE TOXICITY TO CO2.
WE ALSO NOTE THAT THE DATA ARE EXCLUSIVELY FROM A TINY CORNER OF VENEZUELA. WITHOUT SOME GEOGRAPHICAL DIVERSIFICATION IN DATA COLLECTION, IT CANNOT BE ASSUMED THAT THE OBSERVED ANOMALIES ARE INDPENDENT OF GEOGRAPHY AND NOT A FEATURE OF LOCATION.
IT IS LIKELY THAT THE RESEARCH IN THIS CASE WAS NOT UNBIASED AND OBJECTIVE SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY BUT RATHER AN EFFORT TO FIND SOMETHING BAD ABOUT ATMOSPHERIC CO2 ON THE EVE OF COP26 IN GLASGOW.
IT IS NOTEWORTY THAT THIS RESEARCH WAS CARRIED OUT FOR A PRESENTATION TO BE MADE AT A CONFERENCE IN GLASGOW WHERE COP26 WILL BE HELD. THE FINDINGS REPORTED ARE NOT CREDIBLE IN LIGHT OF THE CULTIVATION OF CASAVA IN GREENHOUSES AND THE POSSIBLE ROLE OF GLASGOW AND COP26 IN MOTIVATING THE FINDINGS REPORTED..
BELOW WE PRESENT IMAGES OF CASAVA BEING GROWN IN GREENHOUSES.
LINK TO SOURCE: https://nextgencassava.wordpress.com/tag/cassava/
A FEATURE OF THE SCIENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE IS THAT CO-OCCURRENCE IS OFTEN TAKEN AS EVIDENCE OF CAUSATION PARTICULARLY SO IF IT CAN BE RATIONALIZED IN TERMS OF THE THEORY THAT THE DATA ARE EXPECTED TO SUPPORT. THAT KIND OF RESEARCH CONTAINS CIRCULAR REASONING SUCH THAT CAUSATION ASSUMPTIONS ARE THOUGHT TO BE VERIFIED. HOWEVER, AS SEEN IN THE IMAGES BELOW PROVIDED BY TYLER VIGEN, CO-OCCURRENCE IS NOT EVIDENCE OF CAUSATION. IT MAY PROVIDE REASON TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER CAUSATION EXISTS IN THE RELATIONSHIP BUT IT DOES NOT SERVE AS EVIDENCE OF CAUSATION. | agronomy |

Growing herbs in Queensland can be a trying experience at the best of times, but once you’ve been bitten by the bug (bad pun) you’ll be hooked for life!!!!
Many of us are familiar with the basic culinary forms of herbs such as Parsley, Basil and Coriander. But why not try to grow some of the more underestimated or under used herbs such as Winter Tarragon, the many “Savory” species, Vietnamese mint, Lemon balm, or native species such as Lemon Myrtle, or Native peppermint.
Introducing some of these herbs can lift the simplest of meals.
Many people these days are moving to smaller living spaces and a garden full of herbs can only be found in books. This is where they lend themselves perfectly to container gardening on balconies or courtyards.
Some of the drier loving species such as Thyme, Oregano and Sage grow well if planted in a hanging basket from a verandah or outside a kitchen window.
Grouping plants in accordance to their watering or fertilizer needs is a smart way of ensuring that you get the best out of these small wonders of the plants world.
For example, Basil, Coriander and Parsley should be kept together as they prefer to be fertilized more frequently.
If possible, plant your herbs in a large pot with a generous growing space.
I’m not a great believer in growing them in Strawberry pots, as the pots don’t allow for good root development. An exception to this is thyme or Oregano as they have a shallow root system.
Try growing a few herbs amongst your vegetable varieties.
Some herbs carry with them the ability to repel pests, and some will attract beneficial predatory and pollinating insects, which in turn help with fruit set (ie: Tomatoes and Passion fruit).
There is nothing like picking your own homegrown herbs with the knowledge they are pesticide free. Then adding them to you meals and finding that the flavors are superior to those offered on the supermarket shelves!
Herbs are the simplest of all the plant groups and they are a wonderful way of introducing children to gardening. I can’t think of a better way to grow more horticulturists!!!
Herbs stimulate the senses, they evoke memories of childhood or places past and present, they add wonderful fragrance to the home and they are at the forefront in medical testing for many of the world’s strongest ailments.
I am constantly amazed how a simple plant, can have such a positive effect on our lives.

Last year I created a wonderful Thai style pumpkin soup and my husband loved it. He loved it so much that last spring he planted 5 varieties of pumpkin in every spare space he had in the vegetable garden; now we are harvesting them all. I swear there is an orange glow when I close my eyes!
I had planned over the coming weeks to do a series of side dishes to accompany your main meals, but this week we will deviate off the plan slightly to talk pumpkins.
Pumpkins are really easy to grow. When you find one you like, save some of the seed and plant next year. The best way to do that is to clean all the membrane off the seed, put them on a piece of paper towel on the windowsill to dry. Once dry, put the seeds in an envelope marked “pumpkin” and put that in the fridge until August; in August you can plant your seeds and grow them inside, ready to plant out in October (they are frost sensitive so cover up in a frost). You can use that same process with almost any vegetable or herb.
For more information check out our planting guide: http://www.thewildcook.co.nz/vegetable-planting-guide
I digress! Now, back to eating pumpkin. Pumpkins are absolutely jam packed with Vitamin A; so much so that one serving (around 245gms) gives you 245% of your recommended daily intake from only 49 calories. You need Vitamin A for growth, for supporting your immune system, for good eye health and cellular health.
Food like pumpkin is especially important for vegetarians to prevent night blindness. Pumpkin is also a source of calcium, magnesium, potassium and fibre. It is a nutritious, delicious and versatile vegetable which is super easy to grow and freezes well, too.
Kia makona, Mawera Karetai x
Thai Flavoured Roasted Pumpkin Soup
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, grated
1.5 kg butternut pumpkin, cut in half and roasted
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbs ginger, chopped or grated
1 bunch coriander leaves, chopped roughly
1 litre chicken stock (vegetable stock is fine for vegetarians
400ml coconut milk
1. Cut your pumpkin length ways and scoop out seeds (do not discard)
2. Place on a baking tray and roast skin side down at 180C for around 40 minutes, until soft. Remove from oven and allow to cool before removing skin.
3. Clean your pumpkin seeds and place on your baking tray with a little oil. Bake for 10 – 15 minutes until crunchy. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
4. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat a little oil before adding the onion and garlic. Cook until the onion becomes translucent.
5. Add the ground coriander, cumin, fresh ginger and cook, stirring until aromatic.
6. Add the pumpkin and coat in the spices before adding the stock. Bring to the boil.
7. Reduce heat to low and simmer and stir occasionally. Cook for 30 minutes or until the pumpkin is falling apart. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
8. Add most of the chopped coriander leaves to the slightly cooled soup, but reserve some to garnish the soup. Pour the soup into a blender and blend until smooth, or use a hand wand to blend.
9. Return to a clean saucepan (if using a blender) and add the coconut milk (coconut cream is even yummier) according to your tastes and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve garnished with fresh coriander and even a sprinkle of freshly roasted pumpkin seeds. | agronomy |
