Diamond Mesh,Garden Border Fence,Chain Link Fence Tuofang Metal Product Co., Ltd. , http://www.hsfieldfence.com (1) Configuration reasonable concentration: Bactericide (including agent and wettable powders) when sprayed, the agent needs to be formulated or diluted with water to a suitable concentration. Different fungicides have their own special requirements for the concentration of the fungicide. When configuring the concentration, it must be strictly in accordance with the "Instructions for Use" and should not be increased or reduced at will. If the concentration is too high it can easily lead to injury, the concentration is too low to achieve the effect of drug use prevention and treatment of disease. When asked (2) selecting the right spraying: In general, spraying fungicide time too late or too early will affect the control effect. Q. When spraying too early not only wasteful, but also will reduce the control effect. When the spraying time is too late, a large number of pathogens have invaded the host or caused harm. At this time, even if the therapeutic agent is sprayed, the result of "reinforcing the sheep" is "more than half the effort." Thus, in accordance with timely medication should bactericide Occurrence of different diseases and the crop forecast and the circumstances of occurrence of disease. Usually, the time of administration of the fungicide should be in the pre-onset (protective use) or early onset (preventive). (3) Master the number of medications: The number of sprays of fungicides is mainly determined according to the length of the residual period of the drug and the meteorological conditions. Usually spray every 10 to 15 days, a total of 2 to 3 times. In case of special circumstances, such as rain after application, it should be replenished in time. (4) Improve the quality of medication: The quality of the spray of the fungicide includes the amount of the drug and the quality of the spray. The amount of medication should be appropriate, and too much medication will increase the cost on the one hand, and it will easily cause phytotoxicity on the other hand. However, too little medication can not achieve the purpose of medication. The quality of the medication should be exquisite. When spraying, it is required to be finely fogged and sprayed evenly. It should be sprayed on the stems of the plants and the front and back of the leaves, so as to avoid leaking. (5) strictly prevent injury: injury caused by a variety of reasons fungicides, strong water-soluble drug is first generally prone to injury, the sensitivity of different crops followed by different agents, such as Bordeaux mixture generally will not cause drug Harmful, but copper-sensitive crops can also cause phytotoxicity. Beans, potatoes, and cotton are sensitive to stone sulphur, and the chance of phytotoxicity is high. Furthermore, the different growth and development stages of the crops have different responses to the chemicals, and the seedlings and the flowering stages of the booting are prone to phytotoxicity. In addition, phytotoxicity and meteorological conditions such as temperature, sunshine, etc. also have a certain relationship, generally high temperature and drought, strong sunshine or fog, high humidity and other conditions are likely to cause crop phytotoxicity. (6) Cautious drug mixing: Many bactericides are alkaline pesticides, so they cannot be mixed with insecticides that are easily decomposed and decomposed by alkaline substances. For example, Bordeaux mixture, stone sulphur mixture, etc. are alkaline and cannot be combined with 1605, dimethoate, Dichlorvos and other mixed use, otherwise it will cause "two losses." Some fungicides such as carbendazim and Beauveria bassiana can not be mixed with Bordeaux mixture, stone sulphur mixture, thiophanate and other fungicides, which also cause the insecticidal (bacteria) microorganisms to lose physiological activity and insecticidal (bacteria) ability. Invalid. In addition, some of the chemical reactions that occur after mixing and cause phytotoxicity can not be "disordered". Of course, not all fungicides can be mixed with other pesticides. A small number of fungicides can also play a synergistic role when mixed with pesticides. For example, dimethoate mixed with acidic bactericidal properties such as zinc or wet sulphur or colloidal sulphur will not only affect the efficacy of the drug, but also improve the efficacy. (7) Pay attention to avoiding drug resistance: the use of fungicides also has the problem of resistance to crop diseases. Long-term use of a single agent (mainly a systemic fungicide) can lead to resistance to pathogens, even if repeated use of drugs does not help. Even worse. In order to avoid disease resistance, it is necessary to scientifically select pesticides, and to do the alternate (rotation) use of different types of pesticides. It is strictly forbidden to use one pesticide for a long time. Diamond Mesh,Garden Border Fence,Chain Link Fence Tuofang Metal Product Co., Ltd. , http://www.hsfieldfence.com

Bacterial blight is a serious disease of rice that is caused by the Gram negative bacterium, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). The yield losses due to bacterial blight can be as high as 50%. The development of resistant host plant varieties is the most effective way of reducing yield losses due to bacterial blight. Several rice varieties have been developed that carry multiple genes for resistance against bacterial blight but pathogen variability is a constant threat for durability of resistance. The rice-Xoo interaction has also emerged as an important model pathosystem for studies of plant-pathogen interactions as the genome sequences of both interacting partners are available, methods for genetic transformation and mutagenesis have been developed and there is a lot genetic variability in terms of host resistance genes and pathogen races. The international Conferences on Bacterial Blight (ICBB) of rice are held every three years; the first three have been held successfully in Tsukuba in 2004, Nanjing in 2007 and Seoul in 2010. These are prestigious conferences that are attended by the leading researchers in this field to discuss the latest developments in this research area. The fourth ICBB is being jointly organized in Hyderabad between Dec. 2-4, 2013 by the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Directorate of Rice Research and the Society for Advancement of Rice Research. The meeting will be held in the CSIR-CCMB.

Should California tell farmers throughout the country how to run their farms? According to the nutjobs running the CA state government, CA should. … Proposition 2, a ballot initiative passed by voters in 2008. The law requires egg producers to increase their cage size to more than 200 square inches, more than triple the industry recommendation. As a result, farmers from other states must comply with California hen cage standards if they wish to sell their product in the Golden State. It is extremely important that chickens have room to stretch, after all. And so, if farmers (chicken ranchers?) from other states fail to comply, they will be prohibited from doing business in CA. Representative Steve King, from Iowa, … proposed an amendment to the pending farm bill in Congress which would allow farmers in other states to sell eggs in California without having to comply with the state’s law. One chicken farmer – the owner of Voortman’s Eggs, nailed it. “We’re gonna have to open up the cages quite a bit, give them a lot more room to spread around,” Voortman said, overlooking his farm’s 50,000 hens. “That’s kinda where we’re at a disadvantage right now. Other states aren’t gonna have to comply with that.” “There’s no reason for anybody to produce an egg in this state when it can be produced in another state for half the cost,” said Eddie Voortman, a third-generation egg rancher in Ontario, Calif. The solution is simple. Don’t fix the law. Go ahead and prohibit other states from selling to the people’s republic of CA. Double the prices of eggs in CA – maybe CA residents will finally get the message – loony-toon policies have consequences.

The world generally, and Malaysia particularly, is facing a food security crisis. Apart from climate change that impacted the production of agricultural produce, war, conflict and pandemic are among other factors that had caused a shortage of food supply worldwide. Certain producing countries such as India had taken a step ahead by imposing food protectionism as a way to handle the crisis. Ironically, Malaysia has a vast amount of fertile land but relies much on import to provide food sustenance to her people. Amid the crisis, importing food in abundance may even worsen the impact on the country. One way out is for Malaysia to produce food of its own by cultivating more land with essential food such as paddy and vegetables. Waqf property is perpetual assets that could provide a sustainable source of capital for agriculture and farming. Question to ponder is on the possibility of utilizing waqf land for food production in order to mitigate further impact of food insecurity. Report shows that quite a number of waqf properties are still undeveloped. This study is therefore proposed to identify the critical success factors (CSF) of waqf land development that could help in sustaining agricultural activities in Malaysia. A qualitative research design using Focused Group Discussion (FGD) is conducted for data collection, as required by the funder. The study outlines some policy recommendations of agricultural waqf that are useful for the country to handle the shortage of food supply, adding value to the current governance policy of waqf development in line with the National Agrofood Policy 2021-2030.

How To Control Humidity In Grow Tent? Plants need to be grown at a suitable temperature in a grow room. The temperature, humidity, light, and proper care per each plant’s need can make your grow room green and clean. Not only all these considerations improve the growth, but they also protect them from all kinds of fungi and diseases. So growing plants in a grow room is not only fun. It is an activity that, if done correctly, can bring you a lot of plants and peace. And for that, you will need to know the temperature and level of humidity required for yielding healthy plants and all other factors affecting their growth. Not too low and not too high, there is an ideal level of humidity discussed in this article, along with how to lower high humidity in a grow room. Ideal Humidity For Plants Like temperature and other factors, a specific humidity level is also significant for keeping plants well hydrated. Humidity in the atmosphere depends on temperature and is always measured by relating it to the temperature. So the relative humidity required for plants’ growth is almost 50 to 70%, with more specifications for some plants. If we talk about cacti, they don’t need that much water to survive easily, even in low humidity levels. Similarly, some plants need a relatively higher percentage of humidity. The beneficial percentage of humidity needed by flowering and vegging plants is: - 40% to 50% for Flowering plants - 50% to 70% for Vegging plants Dangerous Humidity for Plants On the other hand, if the humidity level in the grow tent increases and gets more than 70 %, it can threaten the plants. In high-level humidity, plants grow slower and are more easily attacked by fungus, mildew, and mold. If the humidity level rises more than 70%, the buds and roots of flowering and vegging plants start to rot due to the moisture. So make sure to keep the humidity level low enough that it is sufficient for the growth of plants. Devices to Measure Humidity You can use some measuring devices for measuring the temperature or humidity in your grow room. It is better to keep these measuring devices at a distance from the AC and humidifier/dehumidifier so that they don’t sense the temperature of only cool or warm areas of the grow room. Only by finding out the humidity level of your grow tent can you make it higher or lower humid for the plants. Also, it depends on the kind of plants you want to grow in your grow room. For measuring the humidity level, you can use the following measuring devices. Use a thermometer to get the accurate temperature of the grow room. Most indoor growers use a digital thermometer as it gives the more clear result, and it also makes it easier to keep a record of the results. Keeping an estimate of temperature is as necessary as humidity because the temperature of the grow room affects the process of photosynthesis in plants. The temperature of grows room should be average, not too high or low as in both cases it is bad for the plants. Also, the temperature increases or decreases the grow room’s humidity level. Another helpful device for measuring humidity in the grow room is a hygrometer. It is different from the hydrometer used to measure the density of a liquid, while a hygrometer measures the humidity in the atmosphere. Therefore, don’t get confused between the two for buying a device for your grow room. Besides a thermometer and hygrometer, keep a moisture meter to check the soil’s moisture level. It will help you protect the plant’s roots from rotting, and the roots will grow out into a healthy plant. Also, it enables you to schedule the watering of your plants according to their need. How to Maintain Humidity Level in Grow Room There are some techniques to maintain or lower the humidity in a grow room. Expert indoor growers or gardeners follow some or more ways to reduce the humidity level and check it repeatedly to keep it maintained. These techniques are simple to understand. Read the following points that can help you lower the humidity in the grow room. 1-Install Air Conditioners The only way to keep the temperature of the tent lower in summer is to install air conditioners in it. Depending on the size of grow room, choose the right one that is reliable for maintaining the temperature at the optimum level. If the AC units are large, they will make the grow room too cold too soon and affect the growth of plants. On the other side, an AC with low units will slowly decrease the temperature and make the atmosphere better for plants. 2-Dehumidifiers for Decreasing Humidity An excellent indoor gardener should have both a humidifier and dehumidifier that he can rely on whenever needed. A dehumidifier is used to draw out moisture from the air. As soon as the moisture from the air decreases, the humidity level also decreases. But a dehumidifier can only do its job correctly if suitable for your grow room environment. Choose a dehumidifier with more capacity to store water for a large grow room. Also, If your grow room is located in a place with moist air, check the power of a dehumidifier and the type of plants you grow. It should be able to remove the same volume of water that the plants in your grow room transpire. Also, an automatic dehumidifier with sufficient water storage capacity is always a good option. 3-Do Remedies for Unabsorbed Water Always try to water your plants as much as they need because the extra water remains in or on the soil. This unabsorbed water then increases the humidity in the grow room. Therefore, it’s necessary to remove the excess water. Besides, there are water-absorbent soils available in the market. Applying these soils can also decrease humidity in the grow room. 4-Proper Ventilation System The more air moves in and out, the more it decreases the humidity level in the air. You can create big or small holes (according to the size of grow room for proper ventilation. This will considerably lower humidity in the grow room with increased air circulation as the humid air will vent out, and fresh air will get inside. 5-Insulating Your Plants and Grow Room Proper insulation is done to protect plants in highly humid areas. Moisture will protect the plant from fungus and other plant diseases. Also, to fully insulate your grow room, there are several methods from which closed cell spray foam is the best for growing healthy plants. 6-Maintain Appropriate Temperature The temperature inside the growing room should be appropriate for maintaining a relative humidity level lower than 70% for the healthy growth of plants. Keep rechecking the temperature to keep it ideal for humidity and take measures to maintain it. Water vapors evaporate at higher temperatures, decreasing the humidity in the air. In simple words, the one decreases as the other increases. Therefore keep the temperature high but not too high to make the grow room too hot. Conclusion – How to Lower Humidity in Grow Room A grow room should be at the best temperature, humidity level, and space for the best growth of plants. Keep learning new methods to maintain a healthy environment by lowering the humidity level and considering the specific percentage of humidity for various plants. Also, you can use the methods mentioned above in conjunction or only one, depending on your need.

We are searching data for your request: Upon completion, a link will appear to access the found materials. TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. Department of Agriculture is teaming with businesses, nonprofits and others on a five-year, $2.4 billion program that will fund locally designed soil and water conservation projects nationwide, Secretary Tom Vilsack said. Authorized by the new farm law enacted earlier this year, the Regional Conservation Partnership Program is intended to involve the private sector more directly in planning and funding environmental protection initiatives tied to agriculture. Officials provided details of the program to The Associated Press ahead of an announcement scheduled for Tuesday. “It’s a new approach to conservation that is really going to encourage people to think in very innovative and creative ways,” Vilsack said. He described the projects to be funded as “clean water start-up operations” that will benefit communities and watersheds, a departure from the department’s more traditional approach of focusing on individual operators adopting practices such as no-till cultivation or planting buffer strips to prevent runoff into streams. Universities, local and tribal governments, companies and sporting groups are among those eligible to devise plans and seek grants. “This program is a recognition that a coordinated and comprehensive effort is more effective than the USDA operating on its own and Ducks Unlimited operating on its own and the Kellogg Foundation operating on its own,” Vilsack said. In addition to protecting the environment, the projects will bolster the rural economy by supporting tourism and outdoor recreation jobs while avoiding pollution that would cost more to clean up, he said. USDA will spend $1.2 billion – including $400 million the first year – and raise an equal amount from participants. Successful applications will include offers of cash, labor or other contributions, as well as plans for achieving measurable solutions and using new approaches, said Jason Weller, chief of the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Vilsack was announcing the program in Michigan, home state of Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, primary writer of the farm bill with Rep. Frank Lucas of Oklahoma. A news conference was scheduled in Bay City near Lake Huron’s Saginaw Bay, where nutrient runoff from croplands causes algae blooms that degrade water quality. Stabenow said she expected the area to generate several funding proposals. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, established by the cereal pioneer, is working with The Nature Conservancy on a project designed to reduce runoff in the Saginaw Bay watershed, said Diane Holdorf, the foundation’s chief sustainability officer. Kellogg, based in Battle Creek, buys wheat for its cereals from farms in the area. The program establishes three pots of money for grants. Thirty-five percent of total funding will be divided among “critical” areas including the Great Lakes, the Chesapeake Bay watershed, the Columbia, Colorado and Mississippi river basins, the Longleaf Pine Range, prairie grasslands and the California Bay Delta. Additionally, 40 percent will go to regional or multi-state projects selected on a competitive basis and 25 percent to state-level projects. The California Rice Commission plans to seek funding of initiatives to expand water bird habitat in flooded Central Valley rice fields, said Paul Buttner, manager of environmental affairs. Rice farms are an indispensable waterfowl refuge because most of the original wetlands have been developed, he said. Working with the USDA and other partners, the rice commission has developed practices that can make fields more hospitable for birds such as draining them more gradually ahead of planting season and building nesting islands, Buttner said. The new program could attract more participants, he said. The New Mexico Association of Conservation Districts will develop proposals for combating invasive plants that suck too much water from the ground and ranching practices that could slow the depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer, Executive Director Debbie Hughes said.

A Field of Beans If you have been following along on my Project 52, you may remember week 12 and No Excuses. Need a refresher? Unfortunately, there is still the need to feed the hungry in Orange County. So again, I was a part of a team of volunteers from my company who dedicated a few hours of our day to help. This time we were tasked to pick green beans from the fields at the Incredible Edible Farm in the Orange County Great Park. This is where the Second Harvest Food Bank grows fresh produce to help feed the continuous stream of hungry people. By the end of our time, there were thousands of plucked green beans ready to be loaded and trucked away. Eventually, these beans would be served as part of a fresh meal. Hopefully, one day, this will be a non-existent service. Until then, I will continue to gladly volunteer my time to help.

Can you lay sod over chips and dust? I’m not going to say that I did this correctly, but as dumb luck (and a lot of rain) would have it – my lawn took without having to remove the gravel! If you have kids then you know (perhaps better than others) the transitional nature of things. Toys come and go, activities change as they mature, and even larger investments like playgrounds and swimming pools fall by the wayside. It saddens me to say that our swimming pool – an 18′ x 52″ Intex pool that we took up and down each year – no longer holds any appeal to my girls, and with Daddy not living here, the chore of maintaining a pool holds no appeal to me either. This year we (the girls and I) decided to send our pool to a new home for someone else to enjoy and take back our eyesore of a yard. Yup, from October to late May this is what our yard looks like (although some snow hides it in the winter). Certainly not something I want to look at all summer long, so I bit the bullet and decided to try sodding my back lawn. I did a bit of research and most articles I read said that any gravel/chips and dust should be dug out prior the Sod Installation. The truth of it is – I HATE DIGGING. I’ll build just about anything you want, clean toilets, pick up dog poop – any other chore that is less-than-pleasant, but digging is where I draw the line. Maybe I should look into working with someone similar to Greater Brisbane Gardens experts so I don’t have to do any digging in the future if I want to take on more ambitious garden projects. I went online and polled my FB and IG readers to see if any had suggestions on how to lay sod over top of the 2″ of chips and dust that we had levelling this section of the yard for the pool. Most came back with “you have to dig it out”, a few said “rent a tiller and blend some soil into the chips and dust”… Only one person said “screw the digging, just lay the sod over top.” (and she will forever be my best friend) I looked into roto-tiller rentals, and while they aren’t expensive – about $35 for four hours – getting one to and from my yard would involve renting a trailer or paying extra for delivery and then I’d have to hope and pray that I was strong enough to control it. More work and expense than I was ready for. I decided to take a $250 risk (the cost of the sod), and see if laying sod over chips and dust would work. I raked up a bit of the chips and dust and moved some of it towards the slides to try and create a more gradual slope to the yard, but for the most part, the gravel stayed about 2″ thick over the 19’x19′ area I needed to cover. I made so many almost-mistakes with this project it was ridiculous. First off sod is supposed to be installed within 24-48 hours of being delivered; I didn’t get to it until 4 days later. Fortunately we’ve had a really wet Spring here and the rolls didn’t dry out. Unfortunately, wet rolls of sod are heavy as hell. My Step-Dad and I lugged 62 bags of topsoil to the backyard and poured one bag out about every three feet. This gave us a layer of soil approximately 2″ – 3″ thick over top of the chips and dust. Again, 62 bags of soil don’t make for a light load either. We spread the soil with a rake, then tamped it down with our feet, before rolling out the sod over top. [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”] After all that work, in the rain, all we could do was hope that the grass would take. So what do you think? Do you think laying sod over chips and dust worked? I’m not going to promote our half-assed technique here as anything more than dumb luck – but as dumb luck would have it: After almost a month, and rain every second day – the sod looks fantastic! I’ve mowed it twice in the last week, and while it’s not quite as lush as the rest of the yard, if it needs cutting that often, then you know that the roots have established themselves and you are in the clear. I don’t want this article to be all DON’TS, so I’ll close with the proper way for laying sod over chips and dust – as recommended by professionals. - remove as much of the gravel/chips and dust as you can - use a roto-tiller to till a thick layer of fresh soil in with the remaining chips and dust - lay a 1″ layer of compost over the soil – this will give the roots a nice, rich base and will help to keep the sod from drying out - rough grade the soil and compost and try not to walk on it once it is even – footprints will create pockets where the grass roots won’t be able to reach the soil. - lay your sod in even rows, knitting together the ends so that there are no gaps or areas where the grass will dry out. Pull the end of one roll tightly to the next and then push together with your hands for a tight fit. - stagger your seams; you don’t want straight lines where the rolls have ended, instead lay the next row so that the centre of the roll lines up with the seam from the first row. - do not use a lawn roller over freshly laid sod. - water daily for the first week and every other day the next week. The weight of the water will help to settle the sod into the soil. - don’t fertilize new sod until after about 6 weeks. This is today’s view – almost a month after we laid all of the sod. I don’t think we would have had this luck had it not been raining so much over the past four weeks, so I’m grateful for small miracles. Not too shabby for a single Mom eh? I don’t want to do it again, but I’m pretty stoked that I’ve proven (to myself) that I can do almost anything! Have a great one!

Laos is an almost forgotten country in Southeast Asia. Still under a Marxist system, this nation is moving in the direction of neighbors like China and Vietnam. Since much of society is still based on local subsistence agriculture, providing hands-on education in such areas as land management, crops, livestock care and farm management provides a door of entry and spiritual influence in this primarily Buddhist culture. Laos is experiencing rapid church growth despite restrictions and persecution. Almost all of the evangelism is led by indigenous Laotians. Laos’ biggest agricultural export is coffee. A full 80% of all Laotian work is in agriculture.

March 24 – March 28, 2014 Information & Imagination: Convention 24 Lived up to its Name Imagine: Sprouts grown in the spent irrigation water of other sprouts and thriving, week after week. Bob Sanderson’s very simple experiment opened the convention with opening our imaginations to the possibility that the normal flora of growing sprouts might be the highest level of competition for unwanted bacteria and that sprouts might also be the highest quality. This set the tone for a convention of thinking out of the box. Dr. Thierry Vrain, retired soil biologist and genetic engineer from Agriculture Canada, shocked the group with stories of the levels of glysophate, the active ingredient in the “safe” pesticide, Roundup, which has found its way into our air, water, and food. Eight sprout growers delighted us with news from their companies and their different countries: Marjon Specialty Foods, our host in Orlando; Jonathan’s Sprouts, US representative; Eatmore Sprouts and Greens, Canada; Parilla Fresh, Australia; Brotes de Tres Arroyos, Argentina; Geo-Sprouts Product and Technology Development Co., China; Tian Seng Hang Trading Co., Malaysia; and Van Der Plas Sprouts, Holland. Steve Meyerowitz, Sproutman Publications, is completing two new books with the latest news about the health miracles of sprouts. Steve brought the highlights of the books to our attention in his personal talk about our fine products. Tom Stenzel, President and CEO of United Fresh, founding partner of the “Let’s Move Salad Bars to Schools” campaign, suggested that some schools are open-minded enough to put sprouts in their salad bars… something many of us never imagined. The focus is on all the Good News about sprouts! Dr. Don Schaffner, Extension Specialist in Food Science and Professor at Rutgers University, explained quantitative microbial risk assessment and predictive food microbiology. “Why are you looking for a 5-log reduction?” “Because an expert said that.” “Are you sure that is relevant to sprouts?” “Question the experts!” Imagine that. “Information & Imagination” Lydia Berry, US Department of Agriculture, informed us of the programs run by the USDA to help businesses in the agricultural sector. She spoke of the work being done now to bring the Sprout Safety Audit to sprout growers in the US, Canada and parts of Mexico, managed by the USDA. Ed Treacy, VP, Produce Marketing Association (PMA), educated us on the value of product traceability, the PTI (Produce Traceability Initiative) and innovations in production and marketing. Dr. Keith Warriner, University of Guelph, gave an analysis of many tested methods of disinfesting seeds for sprouting and how they measure up. For US and Australian growers, there is good news around the corner of sanitizers that work better than the present chlorine treatment and are user friendly. Dr. Alexander “Sandro” Sulakvelidze, Chief Scientist of Intralytix, Inc. illustrated the work of bacteriophages and their practical application for targeting specific pathogens safely in our facilities and on food itself. Phages, ubiquitous in the environment, have been determined safe for use in food and the environment by regulatory agencies in the US. Imagine that! Brian Clement, Ph.D., N.M.D., L.N., Hippocrates Health Institute, has, for over 35 years, observed people recovering from cancer and other “terminal” diagnoses by changing their diets to include up to 50% sprouts. He opened our imaginations to the wide variety of seed sprouts and their amazing healing properties. Without a doubt, sprouts are the number one food for delivery of healing nutrition. He blessed the growers at the convention with his respect for the work we do in bringing this important food to the world. Immediately following Dr. Clement’s inspiring talk, the chef from Hippocrates Health Institute, Ken Blue, demonstrated the preparation of the most amazing raw food lunch: vegan sushi and Pad Thai noodles which everyone sampled. Many came back for a full meal. Jim Prevor, The Perishable Pudit, “produce industry’s most important forum for the discussion and analysis of issues relevant to the trade” opened our eyes to new marketing ideas. Weigh the net benefit of sprouts: the risk of making someone sick against the long-term benefit of preventing illness in and healing thousands of people who consume sprouts! Carry on and get the word out. Sprouts are an important food and sprout growers bring it to market. We are sorry some of you had to miss this 24th ISGA convention. There were 65 attendees from 11 countries. The information, camaraderie and imagination were the best ever.

If you look at the chemical makeup of plants, they're 85% water, 14% carbon, and 1% everything else. Lots of available water equals more carbon fixation, so better growth. If you calculate the conversion, for a plant to put on one pound of mass, it must absorb and process about 25 gallons of water and less than a teaspoon of N-P-K nutrition. (For you metricated folks, 1 kg of mass gain requires 200-210 L of water and about 10 g of fertilizer.) Considering how much water, and how little food an orchid gets in nature, I switched to K-Lite fertilizer (12-1-1-10Ca-3Mg) at only 25-35 ppm N at every watering in November of 2011, and soon thereafter began supplementing monthly with KelpMax and Inocucor Garden Solution. Since then, I have been very pleased with their growth and flowering, but it makes me wonder if even that might be excessive. Examples like this also push my thinking in that direction: This is Phrag. Will Chantry, moved from flask directly into 3.5" Semi-Hydro pots about 18-20 months ago. They were watered in with roughly 30 ppm N K-Lite, which was supplemented with 1:250 KelpMax and 1:100 Inocucor Garden Solution. Since that time, they have only received RO water , applied via overhead misting 2x/day, in my basement "incubator". This was not done by choice, but by too many distractions that led me to ignoring it. Apparently that's not so bad! The leaves are a bit mottled, suggesting a bit of nutrient deficiency (easily remedied with a little food), but this still managed to grow and bloom. The second image shows the extensive root system, both in the pot and overgrowing it. I will reiterate that this was an accident, not a plan, and "nothing" is certainly not "more" for the plant, but it does support the concept that the nutritional needs of these plants are pretty slim.

These 3 mushrooms grow in the colder and wetter places on Earth. Therefore they are no good to grow indoors. You must live in a place where autumn is cold and wet and besides you need to find a location where you can lay the bed and where it is safe throughout the year. We are thinking of a bed in the garden (or woods) of 80 * 80 * 10 cm. These mushrooms come up in the autumn and in the beginning of the winter. The whole process from preparing the spawn until the mushrooms come out is a process that will take very long. If you want to harvest these mushrooms in the autumn, you actually must start at the beginning of the year (Jan/Feb). The growing process normally has 3 phases: – preparing the spawn – growing the mycelium outdoors – growing the mushrooms First you must prepare the spawn. You do not need that much: 300 to 400 ml. is enough. Rye is the best basis for spawn and the mycelium of these mushrooms grows best in the incubator with a temperature of 20 °C or 68°F When the rye is totally colonized, it is time for the next step in preparing the spawn. The Psilocybe Azurescens, Psilocybe Cyanescens and Baeocystis love wood chips. The colonized rye will also be helpful in colonizing a part of the wood chips with mycelium. It does not really matter what kind of wood chips you use. In general the mushrooms grow very well on almost all kinds of wood chips. We use the ones that you can buy in the pet shops to use as underground for your pet house. Before you inoculate the wood chips with the colonized rye, you must first soften them by soaking them. Fill up 2 pots of 1000 ml for 60% with small wood chips and totally cover the wood chips with water. Let them soak for 48 hours. After 48 hours let the 2 pots with the wood chips leak out in a strainer. Do this very thoroughly. Fill the 2 pots again with the prepared wood chips and close the pots with a lid with a filter. The pots must be now sterilized for 1 hour on 15 psi. Let the pots quietly cool down afterwards. If the pots have cooled down entirely, you can start to inoculate with rye. Divide de rye over the 2 pots. After inoculation you must give the 2 pots a good shake to spread the rye. After that, place the pots in the incubator (18 – 20 °C.). After 2 up to 4 weeks the pots have been entirely colonized. From time to time shake the pots well to speed up the process. Once this has happened, it is time to prepare for the open air. For an outside ‘bed’ of 80 * 80*10 cm. you need approximately 10 liters of wood chips. It is all right if these wood chips are a bit larger than the ones you used for making the brood. Put these 10 liters in a garbage bag and add plenty water. Let this now soak for 24 hours. After these 24 hours the bag must leak out entirely. Make some small holes in the bag tot make that happen. And cut off, after a while, the corners on the bottom of the garbage bag. Wait till there is no more water left. Put your boots on! Go outside and dig a hole in the ground of your desired size. It is smart to choose a spot with much shade. Scatter a layer of 4 – 5 centimeters wood chips on the floor. Take the 2 pots with brood (loosened up by shaking) and scatter these over the complete bed. Cover this again with a few centimeters of wet wood chip. The bed is almost ready now. Irrigate the bed and cover it with a garbage bag. This makes the bed the ideal environment for the mushrooms, nice wet and dark. You can keep the bag in its place by laying some stones on the edge. The best time of the year to make such an outside bed is around March/April. Your work is down for now. During spring and summer the mycelium needs enough time to build a firm network thorough the whole bed of wood chips. Verify, however, on a regular basis if the bed still has a nice humid condition. Spray the bed with water if necessary. At the beginning of September the weather becomes colder and wetter: the ideal circumstances for the growing mushrooms. Remove the garbage bag and give the bed, if needed, a good irrigation to keep it humid. You will probably see a number of insects and other small beasts walking around in and on your bed. Do not worry; these small creatures will not damage your work. They do not have an influence on the quality of the bed or the growing of your mushrooms, except in extreme cases (plagues etc.) I would almost say: give them the space and let them enjoy the mycelium… It is difficult to indicate when the mushrooms will rise. This is entirely dependent on the specific weather of that particularly autumn. You can expect them from mid- September up to beginning December. Care at all times that the bed will not dry out. It can be that in one autumn several flushes will rise. After the last flush you can simple leave the bed. The mycelium should not have too much trouble surviving the winter and giving flushes the next year. It is nevertheless wise to spread out, at the beginning of a new spring, a fresh layer of wood chips on the bed.

A few years back I made a kind of bold household decision; I decided to grow as much food for my family as I possibly could on the postage stamp-sized yard that our old home is situated on in the downtown Pottstown Historic District. For years we maintained a small veggie garden in our back yard that my daughter and I created together and it always gave us a pretty decent yield...but, I always found myself wanting more! Luckily, my husband is supportive of my food growing endeavors (more vegetable gardens = less grass to mow, after all), so with the help of one of my fellow gardener friends I came up with a rather elaborate urban farming plan for our little Francis homestead, now affectionately referred to as “Little House In The ‘Hood” by family and friends. Almost as soon as I got into this rather grandiose gardening adventure of mine it became clear that part of the plan would need to be forfeiting most (okay...all) of our traditional front and backyard flower beds and converting them into vegetables and fruits gardens, and I found myself giving my veggies homes in some rather unusual places. However, even with my most cleaver of plot schemes, crop space was extremely limited. With every new growing season, in my efforts to find the most efficient and compact ways of producing more food in such tight quarters, I discovered other gardening spots - nooks and crannies, really - all of which eventually lead me to the inevitable: growing up. Vertical garden [r]: A newer gardening concept used where there is minimal space, plants are grown upright on walls, poles, columns. Yep!! Vertical gardening! Vertical gardening, along with companion gardening (a topic for another discussion), has proven to be the single most helpful technique for me in maneuvering around (I won’t dare say conquering!) my urban farming space limitation dilemma. Now, personally I’m not so sure of how “new” the concept of vertical gardening is in actuality ... I mean ivy, roses and grapes - just to name a few - have been trellised for ages. But, I will say that the technique does seem to be a newer one to the world of veggie gardening, to which it has proven to be a brilliant solution for the urban farmer. There are so many different types of veggies and fruits that do phenomenally well when grown vertically...too many to even mention. I have found from my own experimentation that if the plant has even the slightest inclination to climb (and many do), then it’s very likely worthy of vertical gardening. Once the idea of vertical gardening is embraced by the space-challenged urban farmer, like moi, a whole new world of homegrown food opens up to them. Plants that would have easily gobbled up the majority of a standard backyard kitchen garden, if given the opportunity, become a possibility again for backyard planting. A few examples of plants that have thrived for me when moved off of the ground and onto a trellis, fence, arbor are zucchini, squash, heirloom tomatoes (as they continue to grow upward vs becoming bushy, like many common varieties), cucumbers, and melons. I have used obvious trellising devices, such as cages and chicken wire, as well as re-purposing old ladders, shutters, doors, bed and crib frames, towel hooks, etc. I also mounted a street sign post that I found at a junkyard horizontally to my fence, placed “S” hooks on it and tied up large sunflowers, beans and tomato plants to them. Basically, anything that you can tie a plant’s stem/vine on with some garden string will do the trick. I have hung baskets and racks on our fencing and used them to plant herbs, leaf lettuces, nasturtium and strawberries - plants that don’t have a deep root structure/ need for depth - and like to climb or hang down. The coolest thing about vertical gardening to me is that I haven’t come across any concrete “rules” to the technique other than observing the natural inclination of a plant and working with that. So, while peppers and eggplants don’t typically want to climb, they can become rather tall and top heavy, depending on their variety (I find this to be especially true of many of my heirloom vegetable plants, which my garden largely consists of), in which case I often utilize my vertical growing devices - hooks, bed frame, etc - to tie up the plants by their stems vs. using a more traditional staking method. One additional awesome feature of vertical gardening is that you don’t necessarily need a piece of ground in order to do it - a container of some sort is typically fine, if not better. Whoa!! That part was/is so appealing to me (not to mention so dang liberating!). So, let’s say that you want to grow Sugar Baby watermelon (yep, watermelon!!), you just need to get yourself a large container (5 gallon or more, depending on what you’re growing), plant your seeds and put a tomato cage around it for it to climb on. Nice, right?! (Tip: have some kind of support system ready for your melons when they come, like cheesecloth, mesh or my personal favorite, old cut up tights and/or pantyhose, that you can loosely wrap under the melons and tie to the cage, expanding them as they grow, so that the vine doesn’t break from the weight of the fruit.) Vertical gardening is really such a cool and interesting option for the backyard farmer...it opens up a plethora of growing possibilities that, as an urban farmer, you may think you don’t have the space for. So, if lack of garden space is a trouble that you can relate with, go ahead and give vertical gardening a try. I think you’ll find that “growing up” is a pretty cool thing!

A sub-camp and farm founded at the turn of 1944/1945 in the village of Pławy (German: Plawy). Earlier, from the spring of 1944, Kommandos from Birkenau, which was nearby, worked the fields there. Several new barracks were erected in November alongside the barns and two stables. In the first days of January 1945, about 200 women prisoners, mostly Russians and Hungarian Jews, were quartered in one barracks, and about 140 men prisoners—Russians, Poles, and Slovakian Jews—in the other. These barracks and the outbuildings of the sub-camp were separated by additional barbed-wire fencing. Women prisoners fed and milked about 100 cows, cleaned the farmyard and carried fertilizer away, and sifted clamped potatoes and beets for fodder. The men prisoners tended to 70 to 80 horses, the transport of crops, and the delivery of milk to the camp dairy. They had 25 carts at their disposal. SS Aufseherin Florentin Cichon was director of the women’s part of the sub-camp, and an NCO with the rank of SS-Oberscharführer, whose name is not known, headed the men’s section. On January 18 the prisoners were evacuated on foot to Wodzisław Śląski, and then transported by rail into the depths of Germany.

Have lawn? Grow food. Happier bees, less mowing. It turns out that gardening is...nice. What started a few years ago with a few containers eventually consumed our entire front-lawn with pots, containers, raised beds, and even a squash tunnel. Somewhere between the jokes of "real-live Stardew Valley is hard", we also started calling it all "Leaning Crabtree Farms", referencing the crabtree which grew leaning to one side, trying to escape the shade of larger trees. It's not really a farm, just something to do. And it's better than mowing.

Recondition soil naturally This volcanic rock dust is derived from the overburden seam above the Zeolite ore body and is very old (300-330My). It is paramagnetic, in other words has intrinsic high energy. This increases the amounts of available nutrients in natural soil &/or in potting mixtures to improve the growth of plants. It's paramagnetism is measured at 2700 ucgs (Callaghan units), much higher and older than other deposits in NSW and QLD. 0-100 ucgs poor soil 100 – 300 ucgs good soil 300 + ucgs excellent soil Igneous rock dusts like MagnaRock™ affect remineralisation of the soil and supply trace elements that may be lacking. The finer dust products manufactured by particle size reduction mirror the normal weathering processes. These will release minerals more rapidly, benefiting the soil with their paramagnetism. They can be spread out on the soil or incorporated into compost as it is being made. These preparations are considered to be biodynamic & enhance the ability of the soil food web to use MagnaRock™, making it an excellent choice to revitalise soil. It will recondition soil naturally, resulting in healthier plants & trees with improved yields. MagnaRock™ is considered to be hydrated as together with the Zeolite it was deposited in a brackish water body after its formation from volcanic dust. Minerals from this source are considered to be more available than volcanic material deposited on the land. The recommended application rate is 0.5 Kg ie 500 g/m^2 for small areas or 1-5 kg/10 m^2 for larger areas. We strongly recommend that MagnaRock™ is applied with a similar amount of 2-4mm Zeolite or ZeoChar™ to soil to provide additional benefits of root aeration, heat absorption & release, & increased cation exchange capacity (CEC). The aluminosilicates contained are important chemically in the exchange of cations & physically as a source of water for plant roots as well as affecting soil structure, aggregation & functionality. There are suggestions that silicates play significant roles in plant health & vitality, disease resistance & reduction in environmental stress. These are more difficult to prove. It is also the case that some siloxanes, compounds of silicon & oxygen do affect the physical properties of soil. These are generally hydrophobic, but do work well with hydrophilic aluminosilicates. Paramagnetism as a concept was developed by Dr Philip S. Callaghan who integrated the benefits that volcanic rock minerals add to soils & plants. His schema was that “the healthiest soils are paramagnetic & facilitate the flow of electromagnetic forces from the atmosphere to organic plant materials” (Rich Affeldt, Acres USA, April 2016). In soils where this paramagnetic force has been eroded away, adding ground volcanic basalt can re-establish the balance necessary for increased biological activity & the resulting plant growth (ibid). Our MagnaRock™ products will be supplied as a <5 mm minus product.

The snow has melted, the average temperature is above 10 degrees Celsius, and the birds are singing; spring is in the air. With the long winter hibernation over, it’s time to kick your body and garden into gear. Gardening is serious business, which means proper planning is essential to top that great garden you had last season! Whether you’re a seasoned veteran, or an amateur gardening enthusiast, the following 5 tips should help anyone have their garden up and running in no time. 1) Planning: As tempting as it may be to jump in and get dirty right away, planning is an essential step to any great garden. What are you looking to plant this year? Do I want to move my garden to another part of the yard? Will my focus be on growing vegetables or simply trying to grow new plants? Make sure to write everything down and follow your goals. 2) Tools need TLC: In the garden, you’re only as good as your tools. There’s no better way to start the gardening season than having your tools re-sharpened and polished. Boiled linseed oil is a great way to treat and protect wood handles. If any tools have moving parts use turpentine and denatured alcohol to get rid of any residue. 3) Clean-up time: One of the most important things you can do for your garden is to tidy up any debris left over from the winter. Clear any leaves, branches, and random debris from your garden beds that could potentially choke out your flowers when they start blooming. Our Less Mess bags are excellent for cleaning up/packaging debris, and we even come and take it away for you! Creating an optimal gardening area will only make things easier for you once the planting begins. 4) Soil prep: After this long winter there will surely be winter weeds poking their heads out of your garden soil, so get rid of them! Don’t wait too long; if you give them the opportunity to grow, they will multiply very quickly (you don’t want that). Once your garden bed is clear, it’s time to start planning your soil. Our Less Mess topsoil and compost are nutrient-rich and excellent at promoting healthy plant growth. Bring life back to an old flowerbed by spreading at least one inch of topsoil on nutrient-deficient soil and mix thoroughly. 5) Get gardening: If you’ve followed the previous four steps, you’re all set to get your garden up and running. If you’re planning a vegetable garden, goodies such as spinach, leeks, onions, and parsley are ready to be planted. No matter what your gardening goals may be this year, putting some time into planning will only make things easier for you down the road. Get out there and get gardening! For all your premium topsoil, mulch, compost, sand, and stone needs, let Less Mess be your solution.

Organics and Millets : The Healthy Options. Switching to organic is not only a healthy option for the body, but also saves the environment as well. Recent studies indicate that organically grown produce has more nutritional value than produce that which has been conventionally grown. Organic food has increased levels of nutrients, thanks to the fact that they are synthetic fertilizer and pesticide free. There is also no genetic modification. It is the presence of chemicals that cause an exhaustive range of diseases in humans. Heavy pesticide exposure can contribute to neurological issues, malfunctions, impairments, as well as creating toxicity within human body. Eating organically grown food not only facilitates weight loss due to detoxification, but also boosts metabolism, balances hormone levels and effects more uninterrupted sleep patterns. Perhaps the most realistic way to ease into a more organic way of eating is to switch one item on your grocery list per week with its organic alternative. Switching to organic is not only a healthy option for the body, but also saves the environment as well. Millets are also naturally grown foods. Millets, a once popular food source, are slowly witnessing a gradual comeback into mainstream consumption. Just as organics, millets too have more nutritional value and health benefits when compared to similar products developed from rice and wheat. They are extremely nutritious and good for health and can be stored for long periods of time. They are gluten free and play a vital role in preventing health issues. Millets are rich in fiber and contain minerals such as phosphorous, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc. Millets are good for heart health and can help reduce coronary blockages. The magnesium content in millets helps to effectively reduce blood pressure and risk of stroke and heart attacks. The potassium content in millets helps to widen blood vessels, enabling smoother flow of blood in the body. Millets also have ingredients that can help combat chronic diseases like cancer and other coronary diseases. Millets also help in maintaining healthy sugar levels and reduces the chance of contracting type 2 diabetes. Their rich magnesium content help to stimulate the level of insulin in the body by increasing the efficiency of glucose receptors in the body. Rich in fiber, millets make for a healthy cereal, which can help in digestion and can relieve bowel issues. It helps in gastrointestinal problems and can ease in other diseases related to the liver and kidney. It can also help in reducing the risk of colon cancer. Several kinds of millets are grown in India. Among the more widely known millets are ragi or finger millet, jowar or sorghum and Bajra or pearl millet. Completing the range are Foxtail millet, Barnyard millet, Proso millet and little millet. Ragi is loaded with protein and amino acids and good for brain development in kids. Jowar, used to make rotis helps in reducing cholesterol level. It is enriched with iron and can be used as a substitute for people who have wheat intolerance. Bajra is rich in fibre, proteins and iron, and contains minerals such as magnesium and calcium. Foxtail millet contains blood sugar balancing carbohydrates along with iron and calcium. Barnyard millet also has high fibre content and helps in weight loss. It contains calcium and phosphorous and is good to combat bone diseases. Proso millet also helps in weight loss. Little millet also helps in weight loss and is packed with B-vitamins, minerals like calcium, iron, zinc and potassium. Millets are alkaline and digests smoothly and slowly. The serotonin production capacity of millets is calming and acts as a stress reliever. Millets have the potential to replace rice as a staple and combines easily with local pulses and vegetables. The unique character of millets is that it can blend with common staples without any pronounced flavours. One of the deterrents of moving completely to organics is the cost factor that is involved. Organic farmers do not use artificial means to grow their produce. This effectively means that the soil needs to be prepared manually without using chemical weed killer. This leads to lower production and high overheads, which in turn pushes up the price. While there is an increasing acceptability of millets especially in the ready to eat form, there still remains a lot to be done in terms of spreading awareness about both organics and millets in order to increase their consumption. This would result in an increased demand and subsequently prove beneficial to farmers. Dr. C. N.

We’ve received a number of calls lately from clients wondering what to do about the moldy peaches and other signs of fruit tree diseases they’re seeing. Below are some tips for identifying fruit tree diseases, as well as pictures of common problems. Firstly, it’s important to know that most fruit trees are susceptible to some common diseases. Growing fruit trees requires either some tolerance for imperfections or a willingness to take on a high maintenance treatment program. It’s possible to manage diseases organically, but either way you’ll likely need to treat the trees yourself or have them treated. When checking your trees for disease, you want to inspect not only the fruit, but the leaves and bark as well. Keep in mind that several diseases show similar symptoms. You may need a professional to help you properly identify and treat your trees’ ailments. Brown Rot is a minor fungal disease mostly seen on peach and cherry trees, but apricot, nectarine, and plum trees are also susceptible. It is relatively easy to identify and treat. Apple Scab is a very problematic fungal disease in New England. Scab also affects some pear and peach trees. Read more about Apple Scab on U Mass Extension’s Tree Fruit Management Guide. Small, yellow-red-brown spots on the leaves of apple and crabapple trees may indicate Cedar-Apple Rust. This fungal disease can lead to defoliation and increased susceptibility to winter injury. Peach trees aren’t the only ones affected by Peach Leaf Curl. It also occurs in nectarine, plum and apricot trees. In addition to curling leaf edges you may find discoloration or spots on the leaves. Watch out for Fire Blight especially in pear and quince trees. Apple and crabapple trees are also susceptible to this bacterial disease. Blossoms will indicate the first signs of Fire Blight, followed by leaves; eventually Fire Blight can kill the entire tree. If you’re seeing mold or other interesting things sprouting from the leaves and fruit of your fruit trees, give us a call and we’ll help you take care of it. PS: Stay tuned for a follow-up post on getting the most out of your home fruit gardening, including a plant list of disease-resistant varieties and tips on growing fruit organically.

21St Century Agriculture Essay Essay Research Paper - Просмотров 571 - Скачиваний 37 - Размер файла 13 Кб 21St Century Agriculture Essay Essay, Research Paper Jones Woody Ms. Wright Engl. 1101 Y 7 November 1999 Today?s agricultural community is embracing many new technologies. Innovative researchers have developed new ways to increase yields ranging from the global positioning of satellites to strip till. Strip till is a process of tilling small strips of soil while leaving the strip in between each row untilled to remain rich in organic matter. The benefits of strip till versus conventional till make it a practical way of increasing farm efficiency. Strip till first began in as a way for large farms to cover more acreage more efficiently in order to save time fuel and labor. The process begins a full growing season in advance with another crop. Once this crop is harvested, the stalks and other debris are mowed to the ground leaving the ground covered in organic matter; this crop is termed the cover crop. Once all equipment preparations are made the next growing season is started. A pass is made through the field with a minimum tillage implement. This implement plows up twelve-inch wide strips and then conditions them. Then the crop is planted and herbicide is applied. Throughout the growing season the crop is sprayed using a specialized hood sprayer, which protects the crop from the herbicide, to control weeds. This is a vast difference in conventional methods, which utilizes several passes to plow and condition the soil while also using herbicides. Environmentalists would have one believe that herbicide applications are detrimental to our ecosystems. However, with proper handling, our ecosystems are better protected from hazardous runoff when strip till practices are utilized. Conventional methods spray herbicide directly onto the ground where they can be washed away by rain or irrigation. Strip till methods spray herbicides onto the organic matter left behind from the cover crop where it can be absorbed into the plant. The method of spraying directly onto the desired area is called banding. The environmental concerns make strip till a more sound way of controlling unwanted organisms. Erosion and soil compaction are other environmental concerns which strip till alleviates. Wind erosion is made less possible because the ground is left with debris and root masses which holds water and do not allow the water to wash away soil particles. Soil compaction is also less of a problem because less passes with large tractors are needed to produce a crop. The greatest benefit to the farmer is cost reduction. Less fuel and less labor being required per acre generate more profit. In an era when commodity prices are at an all time low, generating a profit is of utmost importance. Through less equipment cost and maintenance, strip till allows farmer?s to produce a crop with less capital investments. The popularity of strip till practices grow each year as farmers find ways of incorporating it into their specific operation?s needs. Conventional till has been used for many centuries but this practice only ?stirs up a dust? in that weed seed are plowed a way into a dormant stage only to be plowed up to germinate. Utilization of new agricultural technologies, such as strip till, allows producers to go into the 21st century with tools that will enable them to provide agricultural products to sustain the world.

Irrigation system # You can add an irrigation system to your home. The constructed system makes it possible to speed up the process of crop ripening by 10% (the stage of processing the agricultural field “Crop in the process of growth and maturation”) in the fields near the house. Fields that have an irrigation system attached will be seeded (or fertilized and then seeded) in priority order. Prerequisites for construction # To build an irrigation system, the following conditions must be met: - house development level is 10 units or higher; - the house was built on the territory of a principality in which the university has developed to level V or higher. Construction cost # Table. Cost of building an irrigation system |Magic solar plate |Magic rain plate At the time of construction, the homeowner pays a fee to the prince in the amount of 0.4 gold coins and to the owner of the settlement on whose territory the house is located a fee of 0.1 gold coins. If the house is not attached to the settlement, then the owner only pays a fee to the prince. Each irrigation system takes 96 hours to construct. You can start construction in the desired house on the “List of houses” page (“Real estate and renovation” → “List of houses”). To speed up construction, you can hire builders, completely similar to how you can speed up the construction of a house. You can monitor the progress of construction on the “Build a house” page. The scale shows construction progress as a percentage relative to the total construction time. This building does not require periodic repairs. Attaching the system to fields # You can build several irrigation systems in a house, depending on its level, 1 system for every full 10 levels of the house. The irrigation system is immediately attached to 10 fields, without the possibility of transferring it to another field. If at the time of building the system you have fertilized fields in your house, then the irrigation system will first be attached to them. If there are less than 10 fertilized fields, then the remaining fields will be selected randomly. If there are no fertilized fields, then all 10 fields for attachment will be randomly selected from all fields in the house. The irrigation system is attached to the field once during construction and then cannot be transferred to another field. This means that even when starting a new crop cycle, the maturation boost will only apply to the fields that the system was originally assigned to.

What do we sow today? watermelon - Hema honey melon - Hema zucchini - Trompenburg gardens thym - Trompenburg Gardens Today we are going to sow what we already bought last week, first the Hema seeds of the mini-monsters. We sow water melons and honey melons from the fruit set. Lets see what's included in the set: a seed tray, 4 bags with various seeds and coconut fibre tablets which turn into soil when mixed with water. The price difference is large, 4 bags with different types of seed and accessories cost 4.50 euros at Hema. The organic seeds that we bought at Trompenburg cost 4.20 per bag. The maxi-monsters prefer to sow organic seed in organic soil, so we'll see how it all turns out. Let's start with the melons! There is watermelon, wild strawberry, kiwi and honey melon seeds. Place the coconut fiber tablets in a layer of water. They absorb the water and fall apart if you touch them. Crumble the soil in the sowing pots almost to the rim. Place 1 melon seed per pot on the soil then cover it. Write on ice sticks which seeds are in the pots. Put the ice sticks in the pots, then you don't get confused. ;)) - Place the seeds in a light spot but not in the full sunshine K - Keep the soil moist but not wet! Now we sow zucchini and thyme Sow the zucchini in the same way as the melons. Fill the seed pot with loose, moist soil. Place a melon seed on top of the soil. Cover the seed with moist soil. Sow thyme in the same way but scatter lots of seeds. Place the jars in a warm, bright spot. Take good care of your seeds by keeping the soil moist then we have to wait for the first shoots!

Our history is built on helping you, the grain farmer! MK Industries was founded in 1983 by Marvin and Kathy Kaptain. They started out manufacturing farm machinery such as drill fills, augers, and center sweeps. In those early days they were farming themselves; therefore they always had a keen interest in improving the efficiency and overall bottom line of the family farm. This interest is still what drives MK today. In 1985, believing there had to be a better way to clean out grain bins, Marv designed and built one of the first retro fit bin hoppers on the market, the Hoppercone. Those first Hoppercones are still in use in Central Montana! MK relocated to Rock Valley, IA in 2007. From humble beginnings, building a few Hoppercones for various neighbors as well for Marv and Kathy’s own farm, MK has grown and developed into an industry leader in the hopper bottom field. We sell (and deliver kit versions for free!) all over the continental United States.

As a well diversified farm we grow plenty of different crops as well as having some wonderful holiday lets in the old Victorian buildings on the estate www.whiteheronproperties.com and making our delicious fruit liqueurs at www.whiteherondrinks.co.uk. The main part of our business is chickens which are grown for the supermarkets across the UK. We also grow a variety of other crops with our largest being blackcurrants which as well as supplying our own brand Cassis at White Heron Drinks we have also been a supplier to Ribena for over 70 years. Our apples are sent to Bulmers and Aspalls to make their delicious ciders. We have around 60 acres of apples producing around 1400 tonnes and this is from 18840 trees. Our arable crops are grown in a joint venture with three neighbouring farmers. This is cost-effective and means that we never need worry specifically about when we plant, or when the combine arrives as we split the returns pro-rata across all three farms. Excitingly in 2020, we also planted 30 acres of vines which we grow under contract to British winemaking company.

Energy from manure Howla Hay Farm uses high-performance 2G CHP system Facts & figures Howla Hay Farm is a mixed agricultural operation in Guisborough, in the northeast of England. It doesn’t just dispose of all the manure that builds up from the farming of cattle and pigsinstead, it transforms it into green energy and valuable organic fertiliser. Green energy: a secure source of revenue As a mixed agricultural operation, Howla Hay Farm is ideally suited for running a biogas plant. The plant is used to ferment pig and cattle manure, grass and maize silage, as well as fodder beet producing biogas, which is used to run a high-performance agenitor combined heat and power plant. The agenitor 306 generates 250 kW of electricity and 265 kW of heat per hour. The residue left over from the fermentation process is then used on the farm as organic fertilizer. In light of strict environmental requirements and increasing retail price competition, this ecologically produced energy makes a secure long term source of revenue for the agricultural enterprise. Plug and play: for rapid installation The agenitor 306 has an electrical efficiency rating of 41.0% and a thermal efficiency of 47.4%. Its total efficiency rating of 88.4% makes the agenitor highly profitable. Thanks to its high wear-resistant engine components, it is extremely reliable and requires little maintenance. 2G delivered the compact 2G module in a container as a “plug and play” solution. The connections for the gas and power supply are all that have to be provided on location.

The through injection moulding technique ensures permanent nodule attachment. Impregnated with trifluralin, the nodules function as a protective reservoir. The nodule composition is designed to slowly release trifluralin vapours, which adsorb in the soil. Outside the nodule, the trifluralin degrades but is continuously replaced by new material, building and maintaining a root inhibition zone. Accurate nodule spacing ensures the individual nodule zones overlap and reinforce each other. At equilibrium, the inhibition zone becomes contiguous, enveloping the Biobarrier fabric. When roots enter the inhibition zone, root tip cells cannot divide, preventing growth in that direction. Trifluralin is not systemic; therefore, it is not taken into the plant. As a result, the root system is diverted away from the Biobarrier-protected structure without adversely affecting the desirable plants or trees. Root branches outside of the zone are not affected. By utilising a technology that combines a proven geotextile drainage fabric with an effective pre-emergence herbicide, Biobarrier also marketed as a pre-emergence weed control fabric for landscaping, prevents grass and weed growth without affecting desirable plants. When covered with 50 mm (2”) of mulch, stone, or other medium, the trifluralin inhibition zone both above and below the plane of the fabric blocks grass and weeds from establishing a viable root system needed to support growth. Additional protection is provided by the 136 g/sq. m (4 oz./sq.yd.) geotextile fabric, which blocks existing grass, and weeds from coming up through the fabric. New plants or desirable existing plants that have roots below the 50 mm (2”) inhibition zone are not adversely affected. *Tekton is the trademark used for polypropylene products outside of North, Central and South America, Israel and South Africa. The root inhibition zone is created and maintained by the trifluralin released from the nodules. Consequently, the highest trifluralin concentration in the soil is at the plane of the barrier, with concentration levels diminishing as distance from the barrier increases. The concentration level effective for all roots measured is less than 7.6 ppm. Plant species vary in resistance to trifluralin. This concentration level at zone equilibrium, based on field and laboratory measurements, occurs approximately 25 mm (1”) from the barrier. Some root branch elongation may occur after the root tip meets the effective concentration level, pushing the tip within the 25 mm (1”) zone. With a water solubility of 0.3 ppm, trifluralin does not present a significant leaching problem. Additionally, trifluralin has a high soil adsorption and short half-life. With a U.S. EPA Class IV rating and an Oral LD50 of 10,000, technical grade trifluralin is considered practically non-toxic, ranking it between sugar (29,700) and salt (3,000). Since only a minute amount of trifluralin is emitted from the Biobarrier nodules at any point in time, the hazard is minimized. The hemispherical shaped nodules on Biobarrier contain one active ingredient (trifluralin) and two inactive ingredients (polyethylene and carbon black). Biobarrier is engineered to release the trifluralin very slowly in vapour form and establish a narrow (see chart below) protective chemical zone in soil adjacent to the fabric. This unique delivery method, combined with the chemical characteristics of trifluralin detailed below, ensure that the chemical zone remains very near the fabric and does not present a significant leaching problem. Trifluralin has been used extensively in commercial applications for over 40 years and widely recognised as a leading pre-emergence herbicide. See EPA Toxicity Rating for trifluralin below. |Solubility in Water||< 0.3 ppm @ 25° C| |Vapor Pressure||1 x 10^-4| |Degradation in Soil||1 to 6 months| |Air Photolysis||42 Minutes| |Water Photolysis||9 Hours| |Soil Photolysis ( Dark )||41 Days| |Soil Photolysis ( Light )||66 Days| |Classification||( mg.

All About Asparagus All About Asparagus! Learn about the different asparagus varieties and how to trim, store, and prepare it. Plus I share 11 easy asparagus recipes that are guaranteed to add springtime deliciousness to your table! What Is Asparagus? My favorite spring vegetable – asparagus! Today I’m sharing some favorite asparagus recipes plus everything you need to know: All About Asparagus! I’ve been a longtime fan of asparagus. Growing up on the farm, Mom would forage for it in ditches and tree groves alongside our farmland. It just didn’t get any fresher than that – pure deliciousness! Asparagus comes from the Greek word “asparagos,” which means “to spring up.” It’s a slim green vegetable with a spear-like shape that’s easy to prepare and cook. Part of the lily family, which also includes onions, leeks and garlic, this perennial plant thrives in temperate climates. In the US, it’s most often grown in Michigan (Oceana County, MI is the “Asparagus Capital of the World”), California, and Washington. And you’ll see imported asparagus from countries like Mexico and Peru. What Does It Taste Like? The flavor of asparagus depends on the variety (more on that below!) and where it’s grown – but in general, it tastes earthy and somewhat grassy. I like to describe its flavor as if broccoli and green beans had a baby. The best asparagus will have a very subtle fresh sweetness to it. Asparagus comes in three colors: green, white, and purple. - Green asparagus. This is the asparagus that most of us know and love. It’s the most common type and the one you’re likely to find at the supermarket or farmer’s market (or grow yourself) – and it also happens to be the healthiest variety too. - White asparagus. White asparagus is green asparagus that is harvested while the plant is still below ground, which makes it more labor intensive (and thus more pricey). It never gets the green color from the chlorophyll, from interacting with the sun. White asparagus tends to have a sweeter taste than green asparagus but the outside is also tougher, so it’s usually recommended that you peel the bottom portion of the spear. - Purple asparagus. Purple asparagus originated in Italy and is completely different than white and green asparagus. It has a nuttier, sweeter taste because it naturally contains more sugar. It’s not super common in the US, although you might find it at some specialty stores. How to Choose Asparagus at the Store Here are a few things to keep in mind when selecting your asparagus at the store or market: - Color. Look for asparagus that has vivid green color. Avoid any that looks dull and faded. - Firm to the touch. The texture of the asparagus should be firm and straight, not soft, super flexible, or rubbery. - Closed tips. The tips of the asparagus should be closed and compact. If you see any tips that are mushy or dried out, take a pass! How to Trim Asparagus Before preparing any asparagus recipes, you’ll need to do some simple trimming. Each asparagus spear has a “woody” end that’s tough and should be removed. There are two ways to do this: - Just snap it. The easiest way is to bend the bottom of the asparagus and snap it at the part where it naturally breaks in two. - Trim it. Gently bend the bottom of the asparagus to determine where the tough part ends, then use a sharp knife to trim it off. I usually just snap the spears and continue with the preparation. But if I’m looking for an especially nice presentation, I like to cut the ends so they have a neater appearance. The Best Ways to Prepare It There are many ways to prepare asparagus and I go into more depth with each of the asparagus recipes below. But here are a few common ways to make it: - Grilled – This is how we enjoy asparagus most often. Find the super simple recipe below! - Fried or Air Fried - Pickled – I LOVE pickled asparagus! In the recipes below, I share two different pickled asparagus recipes. - Roasted in the oven - Steamed, Boiled, or Sauteed on the stovetop Basically, you can cook asparagus the same way you’d cook most any other vegetable and it will taste great. You’ll find a variety of easy asparagus recipes below, my favorite ways to prepare it. Is Asparagus Good For You? Yes, asparagus has many health benefits! It is rich in fiber, plus offers many vitamins and minerals. It’s most well-known for being high in vitamin K, folate, and potassium. Asparagus is also quite low in calories. A cup of asparagus has approximately 13 calories, with 1 gram of protein and less than a gram of fat. (Of course, these numbers will change depending on how you prepare it and if you add other ingredients!) Can You Eat Asparagus Raw? Yes, you can eat asparagus raw. I learned this many years ago when I traveled to Michigan for their asparagus harvest. This is an experience I’ll never forget – walking in the asparagus fields, cutting my own spears, and eating them raw. The asparagus tasted FANTASTIC! While I do still eat asparagus spears raw (it’s great dipped in ranch dressing!), I make sure that it’s only the freshest, best asparagus possible. I also like to thinly slice it and add it to salads and other dishes for some fresh green crunch. Asparagus is one of those vegetables that’s best consumed soon after buying it. However, if you need to store it in the fridge for 2 to 3 days, you can. Keep fresh asparagus clean, cold, and covered: - Trim the stem ends 1/4″ - Wash the spears well in warm water - Pat dry - Place upright in a glass jar or bowl with 2″ of water in it - Cover with a plastic bag - Refrigerate for up to 3 days Cooked asparagus can typically be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days but check the individual asparagus recipe for specific instructions. Can You Freeze Asparagus? Yes, you can freeze asparagus, although I’m not a huge fan of this method. While it’s a great way to take advantage of fresh, local asparagus, I find that frozen asparagus loses its wonderful texture and becomes soggy – because it’s 93% water! Besides losing its texture, like most vegetables when they are frozen raw, the taste, color and nutritional value of asparagus deteriorates. If you do want to freeze asparagus, I recommend blanching it first. To do this, rinse and trim the asparagus as normal. Then drop the spears into boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes to blanch them. Immediately transfer the asparagus to an ice bath to prevent it from overcooking, dry it with paper towels, and then place it in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. You can cook frozen asparagus straight from the freezer. Can Dogs Eat Asparagus? Yes, dogs can eat asparagus. Our neighbor’s dog loves carrots, so why not also add a little asparagus to his bowl?! There is nothing in a tender, trimmed spear of asparagus that will harm a dog. Just keep in mind that they can have a tough time chewing raw asparagus, just as humans do, and that some dogs may not digest raw asparagus easily. But if they accidentally munch on some that has fallen on the floor, there’s no need to worry! 11 Easy Asparagus Recipes to Try Here are some of the ways we like to eat asparagus. If you have a favorite recipe, please share it with me. I’m always up for new asparagus recipes!

The term “seed corn on foot” carries significant weight in agriculture. It’s more than simply a catchphrase; it stands for an essential component of ecological agricultural methods. This comprehensive guide will delve into the origins, importance, and rules associated with seed corn on foot, shedding light on how this age-old technique is still relevant in modern agriculture. Understanding Seed Corn on Foot What is Seed Corn on Foot? Seed corn on foot, also known as walking seed corn, is an agricultural practice that involves manually planting seeds through the fields. This method dates back centuries, deeply embedded in traditional farming techniques. Unlike mechanized planting methods, seed corn on foot relies on human labour to distribute seeds directly into the soil. One must explore its historical roots to understand the significance of seed corn on foot truly. This method was the backbone of ancient farming communities, where manual labour was the primary means of sowing seeds. As societies evolved, so did farming practices, but the essence of seed corn on foot remained a fundamental aspect of agricultural heritage. The Importance of Seed Corn on Foot in Modern Agriculture While modern technology has introduced efficient and time-saving mechanized planting methods, the practice of seed corn on foot continues to play a vital role in agriculture. Here are some reasons why this traditional technique remains relevant: One of the advantages of seed corn on foot is the precision it offers. When automated machinery struggles to navigate uneven terrain or intricate landscapes, human intervention ensures accurate seed placement. This precision is particularly crucial for crops that require specific spacing for optimal growth. Planting maize by hand is an affordable option for areas without access to sophisticated agricultural equipment. Small-scale farmers or those in developing countries may find this method more accessible, reducing the financial burden associated with expensive equipment. Seed corn on foot aligns with sustainable farming practices. The manual approach minimizes the use of fossil fuels associated with machinery, contributing to a smaller carbon footprint. Additionally, it allows farmers to maintain a closer connection with the land, fostering a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to agriculture. In situations where unforeseen challenges arise, such as changes in weather conditions or unexpected field obstacles, seed corn on foot offers a level of adaptability that mechanized methods may need to improve. A more robust and adaptable approach to agriculture is ensured by farmers’ ability to swiftly modify their planting strategy in response to current conditions. Practical Steps in Implementing Seed Corn on Foot Farmers must follow a series of steps to successfully implement seed corn on foot to maximize efficiency and yield. Here is a step-by-step guide: The first step is carefully selecting high-quality seeds suited to the specific crop and soil conditions. This ensures a strong foundation for a successful harvest. It’s crucial to prepare the soil properly before strolling the fields. Clear debris, remove weeds, and ensure the soil is adequately aerated to create an optimal environment for seed germination. The key to effective seed corn on foot lies in the walking technique. For equal seed dispersal, farmers should continue to work at a steady pace and spacing. This requires practice and a keen understanding of the desired plant density. Monitoring and Adjusting Throughout the planting process, farmers should continually monitor the field. To ensure planting precision, quick action may be done if modifications are required because of changes in soil conditions or unanticipated obstructions. Post-planting care is essential for a good crop after the seeds are sown. This includes regular watering, weed control, and monitoring for signs of pests or diseases. Challenges and Solutions in Seed Corn on Foot While seed corn on foot offers numerous benefits, it has its challenges. Understanding these challenges is essential for farmers to develop effective solutions: 1. Labor Intensity Seed corn on foot requires significant manual labour, which can be challenging for larger fields or farms with a limited workforce. One solution is to implement a combination of manual and mechanized methods, optimizing efficiency while preserving the precision of seed corn on foot. 2. Time Consumption Planting corn by hand might take longer than using a machine, particularly for large areas. Proper planning and scheduling can mitigate this challenge, ensuring the timing aligns with optimal planting conditions. 3. Technological Integration Technology can be integrated to enhance the effectiveness of seed corn on foot. This involves monitoring and fine-tuning planting tactics with data analytics and placing seeds precisely using GPS. The Future of Seed Corn on Foot: A Harmonious Blend of Tradition and Technology The future of seed corn on foot depends on striking a healthy balance between tradition and technology as agriculture continues to change. The fundamentals of manually touring the fields still apply, but technological developments in agriculture can improve productivity, sustainability, and total output. Smart Farming Practices Incorporating intelligent agricultural technology, including automated monitoring systems and implements with sensors, can improve the accuracy and yield of seed corn harvested by hand. These innovations allow farmers to make data-driven decisions, optimizing planting strategies for maximum yield. Sustainable Agriculture Initiatives As the world grapples with environmental challenges, sustainable agriculture initiatives are gaining momentum. Seed corn on foot aligns perfectly with these initiatives, and its integration with modern technologies can contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly farming landscape. Education and Knowledge Sharing To ensure the longevity of seed corn on foot, it is crucial to educate the next generation of farmers about its benefits and practices. Workshops, training courses, and knowledge-sharing platforms may all be extremely helpful in maintaining this age-old technique and modifying it to fit the demands of today’s farming environment. In conclusion, seed corn on foot is not just a historical relic but a living tradition with a firm place in modern agriculture. Its roots run deep, connecting us to the essence of farming and sustainable practices. We observe the tenacity of a technique that has weathered the test of time as we go across the expansive fields where seed corn has made its imprint. With the right blend of tradition and technology, seed corn on foot continues sowing seeds of a sustainable and bountiful agricultural future.

Plant based is quite broad but look up tillage farming and horticulture and see what one suits your project best. You need to discuss how your project influences the sustainability in this enterprise, it is not just about naming it. okay thank you, I don't have an imidiate teacher who can help me on this, but my project is on 2 plants and i use organic fertiliser for one and chemical for the other then compare but i don't think its enough to do on the topic on sustainability though. Would it be? I'd love to do it on a farm animal but but i don't have access to a farm.

Year-Long Sweet Strawberries Imagine eating homegrown fresh fruit in the winter. It is possible if you grow hydroponic strawberries. Using hydroponics you can grow many fruits including strawberries year round inside your home or a greenhouse without soil. The result is fresh, nutritious homegrown fruit at any time of the year. There are many reasons to use hydroponics for growing fruit. The controlled environment allows you to reduce the stress of nutrient absorption and temperature fluctuations. This produces a higher quality of fruit. Pest control is easier as most hydroponic gardens are inside your home or in a greenhouse. If problems arise, you can deal with it quickly. Unlike store bought fruit, you will know how the fruit was grown, picked and handled. There are three types of strawberry plants. The most common is the early summer type called the June Bearing. A newer variety called the Everbearing produces fruit all summer long. The Day-neutral variety produces fruit slowly but consistently from late spring through There are many delicious varieties of everbearing strawberries. Day neutral strawberries produce fruit throughout the regular growing season. The June-bearing strawberries require a longer time to produce fruit. They only produce fruit once a year if grown in a conventional garden. However, when growing June-bearing hydroponic strawberries you control the temperature, light and nutrients allowing them to produce year round. Hydroponic strawberries are easy to grow. By replanting the runners, you can provide yourself with fresh berries year round. Just imagine how many new recipes you can try when you have strawberries available whenever you want them.

National Watermelon Day Did you know that watermelon is 92% water? No wonder it’s so refreshing! People have been digging into this tasty, juicy fruit for millennia and it all started in Ancient Egypt. It’s said that watermelon cultivation began in the Nile Valley as early as the second millennium B.C. Watermelon seeds were even found in King Tut’s tomb! On August 3, we celebrate this ancient berry in a feast of juicy deliciousness—otherwise known as National Watermelon Day. HISTORY OF NATIONAL WATERMELON DAY The juicy, refreshing watermelon deserves its own day, that’s why we celebrate National Watermelon Day. Cultivation of this fruit dates back to 2000 B.C., with the first watermelon harvest on record occurring approximately 5,000 years ago in Egypt. Traces of watermelon and its seeds have been discovered on sites of the 12th Egyptian Dynasty, including in the tomb of King Tutankhamen. Paintings of different types of watermelon have also been found in ancient Egyptian inscriptions. The sweet fruit we enjoy today is the result of mutations over the course of a thousand years of cultivation. Watermelon seeds were sold to traders passing through the trade routes in the Kalahari Desert in Africa. From there, the cultivation of the watermelon spread across Africa. The origin of the progenitor of the watermelon was in Africa, after which it spread into Mediterranean countries and other parts of Europe. By the end of the ninth century, watermelon cultivation became common in China and the rest of Asia. According to “The Dictionary of American Food and Drink” by John Mariani, the word ‘watermelon’ first appeared in the English dictionary in 1615. The watermelon is commonly known as a type of melon, but it is not in the genus Cucumis. The outer rind of a watermelon is dark green with yellow stripes or spots. Over 300 varieties of watermelon are available in the U.S., ranging from red to white, and come in different shapes and sizes. 5 FRUITY FACTS ABOUT WATERMELON 1.You can eat the entire watermelon Watermelon rinds are mostly discarded, but they are actually edible and full of nutrients with great health benefits. 2.Watermelons come in many varieties In fact, there are 1200 different watermelon varieties but the four main classifications are seeded, seedless, yellow, and icebox. 3.Watermelons can grow to be huge! The Guinness World Record for the heaviest watermelon ever was grown by Tennessee-based Chris Kent in 2013 and it weighed 350.5 pounds. 4.Watermelons can prevent cancer Watermelons are a great source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been proven to reduce the risk of some types of cancers like lung-, stomach-, and prostate cancer. 5.Watermelons are grown in different shapes in Japan Farmers in Japan have been growing watermelons in the shape of cubes for 40 years now, achieved by cultivating them in square-shaped boxes — watermelons in the shape of pyramids, hearts, and human faces have also recently been perfected and sold as novelty products. “National Watermelon Day” │ https://nationaltoday.com/national-watermelon-day/

The Fruits of El Salvador are distinguished by their variety, color, and delicious flavor. Some of them are more exotic than others and only well-known in El Salvador. The primary harvest season, when you will find most of these fruits is at the beginning of the rainy season, from May to June. The following are eight fruits of El Salvador that any visitor should try at least once. I am by no means guaranteeing that you will like them. 1- Las Anonas. La Anona is a sweet Salvadoran seasonal fruit usually available from June all the way to August. This peculiar fruit is popular all over the territory. During the season of Anonas, you will see plenty of Anona fruit stands along the main roads, especially on the coastal highway. Getting your hand on delicious Anonas, anywhere in El Salvador, will not be difficult. The right time to cut these fruits down is when they crack or break in half. If you cut them prematurely, they will not have any flavor at all. Also, the inside part of the fruit that is edible will be in either pink or white color; both of them have the same flavor. 2- Los Jocotes. Jocote is a fruit available from February all the way to April. There are different ways that you can eat and enjoy this popular Salvadoran fruit. To start with, you can eat it Jocote right of the tree or buy it a local market. If the fruit is ripe, it will have a soft and sweet flavor. If the fruit is not mature, it may be a little bit sour. Since this is a fruit available during the holy week in El Salvador, some stores or families make a traditional Jocote dish made with the fruit and honey. Also, there is a popular candy-like sweet available for the festivities called “Conserva de Jocote.” 3- Los Nances. Nance is a fruit available mid-july all the way through August. This small fruit has a distinctive sweet flavor when ripe. Locals eat it as is, or they make different dishes made with honey called “Dulce de Nances.” By the way, Nances are also used to make a traditional local alcoholic drink called “Licor de Nance.” 4- Los Mamones. Los Mamones is a tangy tropical fruit from El Salvador. For Salvadorans, this is a typical fruit; however, for foreigners, Mamones is an exotic fruit that can be a marvelous treat. To eat this fruit, you need to tear open the thin skin and eat the salmon-colored pulp. The taste is tangy and a little sweet, it is like a mixture of lime and lychee. 5- Los Marañones. Marañones is a juicy fruit that has a sweet-acid taste. This typical Salvadoran fruit can be eaten as is or make it as a tropical juice with water, sugar, and slices of the fruit. The seeds of Marañon are popular all over the world, they are known as Anacardi in Italian and cashew nuts in English. Additionally, some Salvadorans use this fruit to make a fermented homemade alcoholic drink. 6- Las Guayabas. In El Salvador, Guayabas are almost as popular as mangos. You can find Guayaba trees all over the country, this plant grows in all types of climate. The older generation eats Guayabas as is, including the fruit skin and seeds. Some of the younger generations like to eat it in slices with salt, hot sauce, and lemon. On a side note, Guayaba leaves are used in many home remedies all over the country; especially, to reduce high fevers. 7- Los Zapotes. Zapotes is a fairly common fruit in El Salvador, especially in rural areas of the country. The Zapote fruit has an alluring unique smell, as well as an exquisite flavor. The outside of the fruit has a soft dark-colored peel, and the inside, which is the edible part, has a color mix of orange and red. 8- Las Paternas. Paterna tree grows mostly in densely vegetated areas such as coffee plantations, in addition to giving fruit, it provides shade. Its fruit is enclosed in a green pod, which varies in length and hangs from its branches. The Paterna fruit has black seeds covered by a white, soft and sugary coating. Fruits of El Salvador. In El Salvador, you will be able to find popular fruits such as mangos, watermelon, coconuts, and tamarinds, to name a few. The fruits listed above are well-known in the country; however, visitors from other nations may not be familiar with all of them. El Salvador has traditional foods, typical drinks, and exotic tropical fruits that you should try at least once. So, if you ever get the chance, head on to a local street market and buy some of the non-traditional fruits.

Next summer I will try to deliver water more efficiently to the plants that need it, using rain water and household grey water as much as possible. This year we have had a taste of what gardeners in many other parts of the world struggle with all the time; perhaps we can learn from them. Raised vegetable gardens are great because they drain well and allow the soil to warm up quickly in the spring – but they drain too well in a drought. Instead of the ubiquitous use of hoses, many vegetable gardeners create furrows between their rows of vegetables. Plants are watered by flooding the furrows. Deep root systems develop, and it is easy to empty watering cans into the furrows, or fill them with a soaker hose. Several days can go by without watering. Seedlings are planted into a shallow groove along the ridge top and watered separately until they are large enough to benefit from the flooding. Often gardeners drape black landscape fabric over the ridges. Not only does this prevent erosion, but soil is not splashed on to tomato leaves, and strawberries keep clean. In a garden, furrows are blocked at either end, acting like long thin puddles. In well-drained, sandy soil, the furrows have to be closer together than in a soil that holds water better, so add organic matter to the soil at the beginning of the season to improve its water holding capacity. The depth of the furrow depends on the expected root ball of the crop. This advice comes from Arizona: Furrows deliver water alongside the plant row. Water is kept in the furrow long enough for moisture to infiltrate the soil of the root zone (http://extension.arizona.edu/pubs/az1435.pdf). From Texas: Furrow or flood irrigation is the oldest, cheapest and most low-tech form of irrigation. Stored water or rain surges into the furrows, the water slowly infiltrates the ground, and less water is lost through evaporation. In 2000 over half the fields in the US were irrigated in this manner (https://jbgorganic.com/blog/2009/03/let-it-rain/). From Spain: When they do get rain here, it is often a heavy deluge that collects in the furrows (http://fincafood.com/2012/04/16/spring-planting-part-1-water/). In a perennial garden, or around shrubs, use the same method. Create a decorative pattern of ditches, or winding furrows, snaking through the bed, around compact groups of plants or individual shrubs. Fill these dry streambeds with attractive rocks, and cover the planting spaces with your favourite mulch. The plants flourish (or at least survive) because there is water for their deep roots whenever it rains or the ditches are filled with grey water. At the end of the season, when the ground is saturated again, unblock the ends of the furrows and dry streambeds, and they will become drainage channels. Or simply rake the soil smooth and sow some fall rye or other green manure to prepare the garden for next year’s crop. — Sheila Watkins, Master Gardener

Climate Control Systems Climate control is pivotal in cultivating cannabis in a greenhouse environment. The ability to create and maintain an ideal growing atmosphere facilitates healthy plant development and improved cannabinoid profiles. As cannabis plants are quite sensitive to temperature fluctuations, installing a robust climate control system will help in achieving the necessary warmth during cool nights and cooler temperatures during the heat of the day. Additionally, maintaining relative humidity within the optimal range of 40-60% is crucial to prevent mold and mildew, which can devastate a cannabis crop. Don’t miss out on this valuable external content we’ve prepared for you. Access it to learn more about the subject and uncover new insights. www.420property.com, expand your comprehension of the subject. Advanced Lighting Solutions Though greenhouses primarily rely on natural sunlight, the addition of supplemental lighting can bolster cannabis yields significantly. LEDs and high-intensity discharge (HID) lights are popular choices. LEDs are energy-efficient and generate less heat, reducing the need for cooling systems. HID lights, including metal halide (MH) and high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps, are known for their intense illumination, promoting vigorous growth. Timing is equally essential; hence, light deprivation systems enable growers to manipulate photoperiods to induce flowering at the right time, maximizing yield. Automated Irrigation and Nutrient Delivery Proper hydration and nutrition are the bedrocks of a successful cannabis harvest. An automated irrigation system ensures that water and nutrients are delivered consistently and efficiently to each plant. By tailoring the nutrient mix and watering schedule to the specific growth stages of the cannabis plants, growers can significantly enhance plant health and yield. Moreover, automation minimizes water waste and nutrient runoff, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly greenhouse operation. When it comes to nutrition, hydroponic or aeroponic systems can be implemented to maximize nutrient uptake and oxygenation of the roots, leading to explosive growth. Though these systems may require a more significant initial investment, the return in terms of yield and plant quality can be substantial, making it an attractive option for the dedicated cultivator. Robust Pest and Disease Management Maintaining an environment unfavorable to pests and pathogens is another key component in optimizing cannabis yield. Integrating insect-repellent plants, introducing beneficial insects, or employing physical barriers such as screens can help prevent infestations. A disease-free environment is also maintained by proper air circulation and moisture control within the greenhouse, ensuring that plants remain healthy and robust throughout their growth cycle. In the unfortunate event of a pest or disease occurrence, having an established management plan allows for immediate action, reducing potential harm to the crop. Structured Growth and Plant Training Maximizing space and ensuring ample light penetration to lower branches through structured growth can also improve cannabis yields. Techniques such as low-stress training (LST), screen of green (ScrOG), and super cropping allow plants to grow laterally rather than vertically, increasing cola sites and promoting more even light distribution, thus boosting overall productivity. Moreover, strategic pruning helps to eliminate unproductive foliage and directs the plant’s energy to flower production. Utilize this external material to delve further into the subject. Greenhouse for sale https://www.420property.com/listings/real-estate-listings/for-sale/greenhouse-for-sale/, expand your knowledge of the topic discussed. In conclusion, the combination of a controlled environment, advanced lighting, precise irrigation, and attentive pest management forms the foundation for a high-yield cannabis greenhouse. Embracing these technologies and strategies can lead to not only a fruitful harvest but also increased efficiency and sustainability in cannabis cultivation practices.

At the University of California, Irvine (UCI), learning takes many different forms. While there are the traditional lectures and discussions commonly associated with a college education, UCI also offers a variety of other opportunities to help students immerse themselves in the educational experience. For graduating computer science and engineering student Owen Yang, some of his most valued learning experiences took place outside of the classroom. Before the COVID-19 pandemic forced UCI to transition to a remote environment, you could often find Owen caring for plants at UCI’s student-run garden or in the lab working on his research project titled ”ZotPonics: A Smart Automated Hydroponics System for Sustainable Agriculture.” Funded by UCI’s Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), Owen’s research allows him to take a more active approach to learning. “I think it’s a really great way to get started on more hands-on projects that you wouldn’t experience in classes alone,” he says. “UROP gives you a great way to pursue a project that you are interested in and get the experience and help you need.” Owen points out that the relationship he developed with his faculty mentor, Professor Quoc-Viet Dang, also helped him advance his learning in ways he wasn’t able to before. With direct access to his professor, Owen could seek personalized assistance and guidance whenever necessary: “Our advisor is the one that helped us with any questions that we had that were outside of our knowledge.” As a unit in the Division of Undergraduate Education, one of UROP’s central goals is to introduce UCI’s student population to the educational possibilities associated with the research process. By helping students across schools and academic units connect with faculty, develop research proposals, create research plans, apply for grants, and present and publish their findings, UROP is dedicated to helping students develop the critical skills they need for academic and future success. Speaking on the value of research, UROP’s Director Said Shokair expresses his belief that research opens students up to a whole new world of personal development. “Faculty-mentored research and creative projects have become integral to the experience an undergraduate expects at UCI,” he contends. “In addition to promoting critical thinking, the research process also helps students build their communication, project management, and a host of other important skills. These skills don’t just matter in academia; they can be applied to virtually every position in any field or industry.” With his project, Owen is looking for ways to implement smart and automated hydroponics to support sustainable farming techniques. He explains: “Hydroponics is a way to grow plants using only nutrient-rich water, and it is usually set up indoors so plants have their own climate to grow in. We created that system in a box and had different sensors and actuators to regulate the climate. Climate control factors include humidity, temperature, light, and how often we want to water it.” Owen’s research has the potential to make significant environmental and societal impacts as it provides more sustainable ways to grow food. With agricultural spaces being lost and outdoor growing conditions often threatened by unpredictable changes in weather and other environmental factors, Owen’s research can help humans find lasting solutions for food cultivation that minimize environmental costs. For Owen, his work with UROP checks all the boxes. Not only does it allow him to combine his interest in gardening and technology, but it also has the potential to serve the community and help others. Now that Owen has graduated, he is looking forward to finding opportunities to put his experience at UCI to good use. “After I graduate, I’ll be working at Microsoft,” he says. “In the future, I want to grow my skills as a computer science engineer and use my skills to work on technology projects that impact the lives of others for the better.” If you are a UCI student that is interested in learning more about UROP and how the program can help you explore the world of academic research, then visit UROP’s website here or reach out to the UROP team at [email protected].

Plant breeder Todd Layt examines the efficacy of various plants and grasses for erosion control and gives practical advice on how best to incorporate the preferred species into any project. Green life has proven to be a great erosion control tool in New Zealand, and also a contributor to better health for people and the environment. Innovative methods, and a vast array of vegetative enhancements, make plants and turf grass highly efficient erosion control solutions. Live turf grass is an option which has shown in research to be far better at erosion control than seeded revegetation methods. Compared to turf, silt fences and coir logs were shown to be ineffective in silt removal, sediment reduction and as an erosion control measure. They were also far more expensive in comparison to turf. It was found, however, that in some circumstances turf alone would benefit greatly from the use of a combined strategy of silt fences along with turf installation. When it comes to plants, many of the native New Zealand species lack strong underground growth. Phormium, for example, was shown in research to only strengthen the soil 25%. Native grasses and Carex are better performers, although they still brown off in summer and are dormant for much of the year. Enter evergreen Lomandra – which has been shown in research to strengthen the soil 200% to 300%. The sterile types from Australia are a good choice as they are totally safe. Tanika, Nyalla, and Katrinus Deluxe Lomandra are best for slopes. Research presented at the erosion control conference in Florida, showed Tanika strengthened the soil up to 250% or 25.9 kPa, while Katrinus Deluxe strengthened the soil 366% or 39.6 kPa, and Nyalla 328% or 36.1 kPa. Nyalla is the best for coastal stabilisation. Although there are native solutions for drainage channels and bio-retention swales, many have problems. Case in point: Phormium has a weak root system, does not bend as well as other plants in high flow situations, and can be knocked over. Using Lomandra in bio-filtration systems has shown that they are effective filters of nutrients and particularly good at the removal of heavy metals in all seasons. Until now, New Zealand has not had a sterile Lomandra that can cope with wet feet, as well as dry. Evergreen Baby, a low-growing Lomandra, can cope with very wet feet, and is ideal for bio-retention swales. Although some research showed Carex and grasses can be better when actively growing and young, the study also found that, when mature, Carex was no better than Lomandra for removal of heavy metals and nutrients. Further, Carex and grasses have long periods of dormancy and poor nutrient soaking, while Lomandra grows all year making it a better choice. In other research, Lomandra performed better than shrubs and most other plants at absorbing cadmium, copper and lead, and was effective at absorbing zinc. Lead, in particular, was taken into the roots at a high rate and at a good rate into the leaves. This effective heavy metal removal is an important reason for Lomandra to be used in large numbers on every roadside. Other highly effective erosion control plants include those with highly fibrous roots systems that bind the soil, such as native New Zealand grasses and Dianella. Breeze Dianella strengthened the soil 297% and Little Jess Dianella 181%. In contrast, non-fibrous root system plants, such as shrubs and ground covers, rarely strengthened the soil by 50%. This shows how important evergreen strappy leaf plants and bigger New Zealand native grasses are for surface erosion control. If temporary erosion control is needed until these plants establish, an organic mesh is often used. Jute is a very good temporary erosion control material, but only if you use the right type. Jute mesh (with holes) allows water to pass through to the ground below, and lets the plants thrive. Thick jute weed mats (with no holes) may be good at stopping weeds, but they are also good at preventing moisture from filtering into the soil below, and often become hydrophobic. This creates an environment that is hostile for long-term survival. So be sure to use jute mesh that lets water through easily. Plants or turf combine well with 3D geotextile products to provide long-term erosion protection. Sometimes hard concrete or gabions are needed. But, in many cases, that simply moves the issue of nutrients and heavy metals to somewhere else rather than fixing the problem. The kPA, and erosion control percentage-increase data, can help landscape professionals work better with engineers and and other building professionals to come up with a natural solution. Green life has been proven to improve people’s health from an emotional and physical aspect, keep our cities cooler, and reduce pollution. Green life can be the answer to most erosion control problems, so let’s embrace it.

The two options are popular when it comes to plant grow lights. These include LED Grow Light and HPS Grow Light. Most first-time buyers get confused about which option they should opt for. Are you one of them? If yes, you have come to the right place. In this post, I will be comparing LED Grow Light and HPS Grow lights in different aspects. It will help you determine which plant growing light is suitable for you. Compared to HPS Grow lights, LED Grow lights to have a longer life and more efficiency. Furthermore, they produce lower heat. Most first-time users also find LED Grow lights easy to install and convenient for overall handling. On the contrary, with HPS Grow lights, you require pre-buried junction boxes and various other fixing methods. It might feel like a huge burden for some beginners. I will discuss all the points in detail. However, before that, let us learn the basics of both light types. What is an LED Grow Light? An LED Grow light is a plant growing light that uses light-emitting diodes to produce a sun-like color spectrum and photon flux. Therefore, it helps in plant growth. It lets you adjust the wavelengths of light according to the growth phases of your plants. Do you want to learn more about the working of an LED Grow light? I recommend reading our post: 《How LED Grow Lights Work》. Nowadays, LED Grow light manufacturers make various light types as per different needs. With the improvement in technology, LED grow lights are more advanced than ever. They come with a heat sink or built-in fan to minimize heat in your plant growing area. What is an HPS Grow Light? High-pressure sodium lights, or HPS Grow lights, are conventional plant growing lights. Generally, this type of light contains chemicals like mercury, sodium, and xenon inside their arc tube. People growing flowers and vegetables indoors invest in HPS Grow light. LED Grow Light vs. HPS Grow Light: Comparison of Different Aspects In the above section, you learned the basics of LED Grow Light and HPS Grow Light. Let us find how they differ based on several factors. Regardless of the type of light you use, energy efficiency is a critical factor to consider. LED Grow Lights employ light-emitting diodes that consume significantly less energy than traditional plant-growing lamps. Unlike HPS Grow lamps, LED Grow lights to have diodes instead of heated filaments or gas. As a result, they consume low wattage of electricity. The Council for Energy-Efficient Economy concludes that HID Grow lights require more energy than LED lights to produce the same light wavelength. Another report mentions that growers who choose LED Grow lights over HID lights can save about 31% to 35% electric energy per square foot. Additionally, LED Grow Lights put a low load on your electric breakers and amperage. HPS Grow Lights, on the other hand, need a ballast to transfer wall-socket current into usable energy. In this process, a lot of electricity gets wasted. Therefore, they consume more electric energy. The durability of light is another vital aspect you must look at. After all, it directly affects your pocket. LED Grow lights are more durable than HPS Grow Lights. If you buy them from a professional LED Grow Light supplier, they can last for ten years or even longer. Nowadays, manufacturers also mention how many hours their light will last. One of the most common complaints about HPS Grow Lights is that they get dimmer with time. Often, you need to replace them after 12 to 16 months. It will naturally put an extra burden on you in terms of production cost. Furthermore, HPS Grow Lamps start consuming more energy as they age. With LED Grow lights, this is not a significant issue. To ensure the durability of your LED Grow lights, do not forget to check component material and quality certification. Wondering what other things you should keep in mind when buying LED Grow lights? I recommend reading our post: 《Top 11 Things to Consider When Purchasing LED Grow Light》. Intensity of Heat Compared to HPS Grow Lights, LED-based plant growing lights emit low heat. The primary reason is that LED lights consume and waste relatively low electric energy. If you switch to these lights, you will save on the ventilation setup. Nowadays, LED Grow Lights have built-in heat sinks that soak up the heat and disperse the thermal energy into the air. You may also find built-in fans in some LED-based plant-growing lamps. In normal circumstances, LED Grow light will not cause any harm to your plants because of heat output. Read our post《Can LED Grow Lights Burn Plants?》for more detail. On the contrary, HPS Grow Lights require more electric energy. Therefore, they emit more heat. Apart from this, the primary reason for excessive heat production is that they contain gas and chemicals such as mercury. HPS Grow lights can significantly raise the temperature of your plant growing area if you do not have a ventilation system. You will need to invest in an additional airflow system in a plant growing area to maintain the ideal environment for your plant. Remember, excessive heat inside the greenhouse can cause harm to your plants or crops. However, in the case of LED Grow lights, you might need extra heat in winters to provide your plants with a sustainable temperature. The cost is the primary concern for a lot of buyers. Several factors influence pricing, including size, quality, and origin. However, if I consider the initial cost, HPS Grow Lights are more reasonable than LED Grow Lights. Nevertheless, the operating cost of HPS over the period will be more than that of LED Grow lamps. HPS Grow lights consume excessive electricity to emit light. Additionally, you’ll have to invest extra for a ventilation system due to the extreme heat. As mentioned above, HPS Grow lights are not as durable as LEDs. I can say these lights seem cheap but are expensive in reality. The upfront cost of LED Grow Lights is higher than HPS Grow lamps. Nevertheless, they will be cost-effective in the long run. They consume low light comparatively. You can notice up to 50% reduction in the electricity cost by switching to LED Grow lights. Furthermore, they are durable and require low maintenance.

Maintenance & Installation Installing and maintaining plant growing lights could be a hard row to hoe for new users. You have to keep several environmental factors in mind. Modern LED Grow lights are easy to install and come with pre-designed fixtures. Even some lamps feature built-in drivers. It means you install them quickly without too much assistance. With the advancement in technology, LED Grow Lights are becoming more user-friendly. Modern LED Grow lights come with brightness adjustment. It means you will not have to move them during different stages of your plants’ development. Furthermore, it is easy to clean them. Any standard glass cleaner will work fine to remove dirt. HPS Grow Light needs extra care when it comes to installation and maintenance. You will need screws, hooks, and junction boxes to fix them in your plant growing area. Furthermore, LED Grow Lights are smaller than HPS Grow Lights. Therefore, you can install them in more numbers to boost the utilization rate of the planting area. The growth of your plants depends on the light spectrum they receive from the source. LED light technology has been continuously improving. While it does not prioritize light intensity, it has an appropriate light spectrum for different stages of plant growth. HPS Grow lights are more intense than LED Grow lights. After all, their luminescence principle and spectral curve are different. They encourage plant development in the same way that LED Grow lights do. However, they may cause more harm than good by producing excessive heat when you use them in a small area. Note: Avoid using wooden fixtures when working with HPS Grow lights. It might cause a fire. Additionally, keep them away from flammable objects. LED Grow lights have upper hands in almost every aspect. You have to pay some extra bucks in the beginning. However, LED Grow Lights indeed save a lot of electricity costs in the long term. For more information about the LED Grow Light power consumption, you can read our post,《How Much Electricity Does LED Grow Light Use》. Additionally, since LED plant-growing lamps are cooler than HPS Grow lights, you do not have to set up a cooling system. Most LED-based plant growing lights come with a heat sink or built-in fan for this purpose. Apart from this, LED Grow lights have advantages in terms of installation and user-friendliness. Also, you can adjust their spectrum as per the requirement of your plants. LED Grow Lights are a great choice for cannabis cultivation as well.

Nutrient Content of Plants: The nutrient content of a plant varies not only among its various plant parts but changes with age and stage of development. There are also varietal differences which will affect the nutrient content found in various plant parts. A plant analysis interpretation is based on a comparison of the nutrient concentration found in a particular plant part taken at a specific time with known desired value or ranges in concentration. One method of interpretation is based on "critical values," a critical value being the concentration below which deficiency is likely to occur. This system of interpretation has a serious limitation since it defines only the lower limit of the sufficiency range, providing no guidance when the concentration found exceeds the critical value. A more useful method of interpretation is based on sufficiency ranges, the optimum element concentration range below which deficiency occurs and above which toxicity or imbalances occur. This system of evaluation is currently in use in the Soil, Plant, and Water Laboratory. Critical values are still quite useful and are frequently referred to when interpreting a plant analysis result. A brief discussion of the known critical values for the elements included in a plant analysis is given below: The critical level of N in many plants is around 3 percent. For several crops, when the N level in leaves drops below 2.75 percent, N deficiency symptoms appear and yield and quality decline. The primary exceptions are for the very young plants when the critical level may be 4 percent or more, and for leguminous plants, such as soybeans, peanuts, alfalfa, etc., where the critical N percentage is 3 to 4.25 percent. For some tree fruits and ornamentals, N levels may be as low as 2 percent before deficiency occurs. Deficiencies as well as excesses can be a problem. Nitrogen leaf levels in some varieties of pecans exceeding 3.50 percent may result in early defoliation. Nitrogen leaf levels greater than 4.50 to 5 percent retard fruit set in greenhouse tomato. High N levels (>3.50 percent) in forage crops such as fescue is thought to be related to the incidence of grass tetany. Small changes in N content for some crops can result in large effects on yield, plant growth, and the quality of forage and fruit. Therefore, it is important that the N level be maintained within the prescribed limits of the sufficiency range by the proper use of N fertilizer. The P requirement of plants varies considerably. Tree crops have relatively low P requirements with the critical values ranging from 0.12 to 0.15 percent. Grasses have higher P requirements with critical values ranging from 0.20 to 0.25 percent. Legumes and some vegetable crops have relatively higher P requirements with critical values being 0.25 to 0.30 percent or slightly higher. Most plants grow to the extent to maintain a near constant P level within the plant. When a P deficiency occurs, it is usually due to a severe inadequacy of P in the soil solution, or in some cases it may be due to a restricted root system as a result of cool-moist growing conditions. Phosphorus deficiencies normally occur early in the growth cycle of the plant when the P requirement is high. The P content of plants is initially high and declines with age. Since P is a fairly mobile element in plants, deficiencies generally occur on older tissue. The excess range of P is not clearly known. The P level in young plants can be very high such as 0.50 to 1.00 percent, but these high levels may reflect actual need. In some instances, high P plant levels may cause imbalances and deficiencies of other elements, such as Zn, Cu, Fe, etc. Plant P can be maintained within the sufficiency range by proper P fertilization and the maintenance of the soil P level within the medium to high soil test range. The K requirement of plants varies widely depending on plant species. The tree crops such as pecans, peaches, apples, etc., have relatively low K requirements. The critical value for K in tree leaves ranges from 0.75 to 1.25 percent. For grasses, the K requirement is higher with the critical value in leaves ranging from 1.20 to 2.00 percent. For legumes, the critical value for K generally ranges from 1.75 to 2.00 percent. The K level in a plant can change quickly as K is quite mobile and moves readily within the plant. Potassium can be easily leached from growing plants by rain to be reabsorbed through the roots. Because of K mobility, both in the plant and soil, deficiency symptoms can develop quickly. Deficiencies frequently occur during both the early and latter stages of growth, particularly during fruiting. Young plants may contain 3.00 to 5.00 percent K, although the actual requirement may not be that high. Because it is mobile in the plant, K deficiency symptoms appear in the older plant tissue first. The K concentration in the plant decreases with age. Potassium balance in plants is important. The K/(Ca+Mg) and K/N balances must be maintained at a proper level to avoid deficiencies of Mg in the first instance and K in the second. High K can induce Mg deficiency in most plant and tree crops. Plants which are Mg deficient may have high K and Ca contents as the plant tends to maintain a constant cation concentration. As a result of these balance phenomena, heavy applications of K or N fertilizer, respectively, can induce a Mg or K deficiency. Under Georgia soil conditions, K deficiency is difficult to induce unless the K soil test level is low and the soil is heavily limed or fertilized with large quantities of N. The K to N balance is becoming increasingly important in pecans. As the N level in tree leaves increase, the K level must also be increased to maintain the proper balance and prevent K deficiency from occurring. Plant K can be maintained within the sufficiency range by proper K fertilization and the maintenance of the soil K level within the medium to high soil test range. Magnesium deficiency occurs in many plants when the leaf level is less than 0.10 to 0.15 percent. Small grains may exhibit deficiency symptoms when the Mg level is less than 0.10 percent. When corn is less than 12 inches in height, magnesium deficiency may occur when the Mg level is below 0.15 percent. However, as corn matures, deficiencies may not be evident until the Mg level is less than 0.13 percent. For legumes such as peanuts and soybeans, the critical level is 0.25 to 0.30 percent. The critical level for cotton and pecans is 0.30 percent. Several vegetable crops such as tomato, turnips, and collards have a high Mg requirement with the critical level near 0.40 percent Mg. Magnesium is a fairly mobile element in the plant, therefore, deficiency symptoms occur in the older plant tissue. The Mg concentration in the plant tends to increase with age. Magnesium deficiencies can be induced by excessive K and NH4-N fertilization. When the soil pH is less than 5.4, Mg availability and uptake by plants is greatly reduced. The usual cause for Mg deficiency in Georgia is generally low soil pH and/or low soil Mg. Depending on the soil conditions, the effect of K and NH4-N fertilization can vary depending on the soil pH and level of soil Mg. Continued liming with only calcitic lime will result in a Mg deficiency. Adequate soil Mg can generally be maintained by liming with dolomitic limestone to keep the soil pH between 6.0 and 6.5. Supplemental applications of fertilizer Mg may be needed in some cases to supply some of the Mg crop requirement. It has been generally thought that the S requirement of plants was comparable to that of P. This has not proven to be so. The S requirement for grasses is quite low, the critical value being around 0.10 percent. Sulfur deficiencies in corn do not generally occur until the S level is less than 0.13 percent in the leaves. Under Georgia conditions, legumes, cotton, tobacco, and tomatoes have a critical S level of about 0.20 to 0.25 percent. The S critical level for crops such as cabbage, spinach, turnips, and collards is around 0.30 percent. However, additional research in this area should aid in pinpointing the critical level for these crops. There is a critical N to S percentage ratio which should be maintained. As suggested by Reneau (1983) the N:S ratio may be a better indicator of the S status of corn than the S concentration. For crops such as corn, this ratio should not exceed 18:1 if S deficiency is to be avoided. Stewart and Porter (1969) suggested that a N:S ratio above 16:1 indicates a lack of S may be limiting protein formation. A ratio of 20:1 or greater indicates that S is severely deficient. For optimum corn grain yields, the N:S ratio should be maintained between 10:1 to 15:1 (M. E. Sumner, personal communication). The optimum N:S ratio for Coastal bermudagrass ranges from approximately 9:1 to 12:1 (Martin and Matocho, 1973). Maintaining the N:S ratio within the range for optimum production of Coastal also provides the N:S ratio that is about optimum (10:1 to 15:1) for ruminant nutrition (Allaway and Thompson, 1966). Sulfur deficiencies occur primarily on the very sandy soils of South Georgia and when low S containing fertilizers are used over several years. Sulfur deficiencies tend to occur early in the plant growth cycle. The proper S level can be maintained in the plant by providing a S source near the germinating seed or by adding S with sidedress and topdress N applications particularly in sandy soils. Most Georgia subsoils contain sizeable quantities of S. Provided the pH is not too low when roots enter the subsoil, sufficient S will generally be available to satisfy the crop requirement. Since S is not a mobile element in the plant, deficiency symptoms tend to first appear in the upper or newly emerging leaf tissue. The Ca requirement for plants varies widely with grasses having the lowest requirement, legumes intermediate, and fruit crops and cotton the highest. Calcium levels from 0.20 to 0.25 percent are quite adequate for pasture grasses and corn. Soybean has a critical Ca concentration in the mature leaves of 0.50 percent, while the level for peanuts is 1.25 percent. Apple leaves should contain about 1 percent Ca and peach leaves 1.25 percent. Greenhouse tomato has a critical concentration for leaves of about 1 percent. Of the crops grown in Georgia, cotton probably has the highest critical Ca concentration at 2 percent for leaves. Calcium deficiencies are not unusual, although the crops where Ca is particularly important are the fruit crops, such as apples, peaches, and tomato. Calcium deficiency will significantly affect fruit quality. Brown rots, easy bruising of fruit, and blossom-end rot of tomato are frequently associated with inadequate Ca. Pod-rot in peanuts is also a Ca deficiency. These deficiencies are not easily "uncovered" by leaf analysis. When Ca deficiency is severe, newly emerging tissue is affected. The margins of the leaves tend to stick together, giving a ragged edge to new leaves. Older leaves will show a browning of the margins. Since Ca is not a mobile element, deficiencies occur in the newer tissues. The Ca level in plants tends to increase with the age of the plant. There is increasing evidence that Ca is more like a micronutrient, as the critical concentration may be in the parts per million range. Several plant physiologists have grown plants successfully at low Ca levels in artificial growth media. In these experiments, the balance of Ca with the other essential elements such as Mg, Cu, Fe, B, and Mn was critical. Calcium was found to be sufficient with plant and leaf concentrations between 600 ppm to 1000 ppm. It is known that relatively little Ca is in a soluble form in many plants. Crystals of calcium oxalate have been observed in the leaves of most fruit trees as well as some field crops which are thought to have high Ca requirements. Therefore, the sufficiency of Ca in such plants may be related to the soluble fraction in the leaves rather than the total. Unfortunately at this time, all of the current literature related to Ca and its sufficiency concentration are based on total Ca contents of sampled plant parts. No doubt there is need to change the method of analysis for Ca to determine the soluble Ca content and relate this to sufficiency range standards. Manganese deficiency normally occurs when the leaf tissue concentration is less than about 15 ppm. Depending upon the crop, ample but not excessive concentrations of Mn may range from 15 to over 1,000 ppm. Although there is limited data to delineate when toxicity occurs, leaf levels in excess of several hundred ppm are probably toxic to many plants. Plants which are sensitive to Mn deficiency are equally sensitive to excessive Mn. Growth of soybeans, which are particularly sensitive to Mn deficiency, is reduced when leaf Mn levels approach 200 ppm (Ohki, 1976). Several plant species have higher Mn critical levels. For example, the critical Mn level for alfalfa is about 25 ppm. Some plants can tolerate extremely high Mn levels without detrimental effects. Pecan leaves may contain up to 1000 ppm Mn with seemingly no adverse effect. Similarly, cotton and peanuts will accumulate Mn up to 500 ppm without apparent toxicity. However, a high Mn level in plants is a sign of low soil pH, and is frequently associated with Mg deficiency. When the Mn concentration in peach leaves exceeds 150 ppm, this is generally a good indication that the soil pH is low according to George Cummings. The Mn level in plants is usually quite high at the initial period of growth. It decreases rather rapidly and then levels off to remain fairly constant during most of the season. Since Mn is not a mobile element, deficiency symptoms will occur in the newer leaves or upper portion of the plant. Iron analyses are probably invalid unless the leaf tissue has been washed in dilute acid or detergent solutions. Therefore, for unwashed leaves, iron analyses are of no real value. When soil contamination is suspected, usually Al is also high. The Fe content in a plant can vary considerably. In general, when the Fe concentration in leaves is 50 ppm or less, deficiency is likely to occur. The grasses and corn have a lower Fe requirement, the critical level being 20 ppm. Iron toxicity has not been reported for any field crops growing under natural conditions in Georgia. The only Fe sensitive field crops would be pecans and soybeans, with possible deficiency occurring only on soils with pH's at 7.0 or above. Iron deficiency is common in Centipede grass and azaleas, particularly when grown in soils with pH above 6.0. Iron deficiency is very difficult to correct in some crops. The application of some forms of Fe to the soil is not practical. Foliar applications of Fe have been found to be effective in correcting Fe deficiencies in plants such as turf grasses. However, on crops such as pecans, foliar applications for correction of low Fe levels have been erratic. Since Fe is an immobile element in plants, Fe deficiencies appear in the new tissue or upper portion of the plant. Iron deficiency symptoms may appear early in the growth of the plant only to disappear in several days or weeks. The Fe level in the plant usually remains fairly constant during the growing season. Boron requirements vary considerably among crops. The optimum range in leaf tissue of most crops is from 20 to 100 ppm. Some crops are particularly sensitive to B and can be injured when the leaf B level is too high. For example, B levels in excess of 50 ppm have been associated with B toxicity in peaches. The B critical level for corn is about 4 ppm, while alfalfa, cotton, peanut,and soybeans have critical levels of 20 ppm. Corn, having a fairly low B requirement, is also sensitive to excess B. Toxicities may occur when the B level in young corn leaf tissue exceeds 25 ppm. Members of the Papilionaceae and Cruciferae have fairly high B requirements with critical levels being about 25 to 30 ppm B in the leaf tissue. Those plants which have fairly high B requirements are also ones with fairly good tolerance to excessive B. Boron is not a very mobile element and deficiency symptoms occur in the newly emerging tissue. The B concentration in leaves remains constant during the growth cycle. Boron deficiencies result in various physiological diseases in plants, such as "hollow heart" in peanuts, a fairly common disorder occurring in Georgia peanut fields. The normal range of Cu in many plants is fairly narrow, ranging from 5 to 20 ppm. When the Cu concentration in plants is less than 3 ppm in the dry matter, deficiencies are likely to occur. When Cu levels exceed 20 ppm in mature leaves, toxicities may occur. There is some variation in the critical values for various plant species; however, most critical values have been determined to be somewhere between 3 to 10 ppm for most crops. The Cu level in leaves tends to remain constant during the growing season. Copper deficiency symptoms often depend on plant species or variety and the stage of deficiency. In the early stages of deficiency, symptoms are generally reduced growth. In the moderate to acute stages of deficiency on crops such as wheat, terminal or new leaves are pale green, lack turgor, and become rolled and yellowed; older leaves become limp and bent at the ligule. The leaves die and dry to a bleached gray (Reuther and Labanauskas, 1966). The normal range of Zn in most plants is between 20 to 100 ppm. Zinc deficiencies occur in a wide variety of plants when the leaf level drops below 15 ppm. The critical Zn value for apple is about 14 ppm with the first symptom of the deficiency being small fruit size. Zinc deficiency in pecans occurs when the Zn leaf level is 30 ppm or less. In order to avoid Zn deficiency, Zn levels in most crops should be maintained at 20 ppm or better, except for pecans when 50 ppm Zn is the desired minimum. Zinc toxicity is an uncommon problem and does not generally occur until the Zn level exceeds 200 ppm. However, in crops such as peanuts, Zn toxicity has been reported in Georgia when tissue levels reach 220 ppm (Keisling and others, 1977). More recently (Parker and Walker, 1986) reported that Zn levels up to 287 ppm did not adversely affect peanut yields nor show any of the symptoms associated with Zn toxicity. However, the author has observed plants exhibiting Zn toxicity symptoms, described by Keisling and others (1977), with Zn concentrations of 117 ppm. Apparently, there are other plant growth factors or nutrient relationships in addition to just the Zn concentration that affect the manifestation of Zn toxicity. One such relationship appears to be the Ca:Zn ratio in the tissue. Upon evaluating unpublished data of Parker in which the Zn concentration in tissue varied from 50 to 302 ppm, and Zn concentrations could not be related to Zn toxicity, the author noted that when the Ca:Zn ratio was less than approximately 45 to 50:1 Zn toxicity symptoms were evident. However, when the ratio was greater, where the Zn concentration was 302 ppm, no toxicity symptoms were detected. Continued research in this area should elucidate the nature of this relationship. Excessive Zn also interferes with the normal function of Fe in plants giving rise to symptoms similar to Fe deficiency. Zinc is not a very mobile element in plants, and deficiency symptoms occur in the newly emerging leaves. Stunting is a frequent symptom associated with Zn deficiency. Zn concentration in leaves remains fairly constant with a fairly rapid increase at the end of the growth cycle. Aluminum is not considered a plant nutrient; therefore, it is not required by plants. However, its presence in plants can affect the normal function of some other elements. As with Fe, probably no accurate measure of the Al status of the plant can be obtained unless the tissue is free from dust and soil contamination. High Al in plants is usually an indication of very low soil pH or poor soil aeration due to compaction or flooding. Aluminum levels in excess of 400 ppm in young tissue or 200 ppm in mature plants and leaves are undesirable. Molybdenum deficiencies occur in many plants when the plant concentration is less than 0.10 ppm. Toxicity levels in plants have not been established. Molybdenum is quite toxic to animals if the forage being consumed contains more than 15 ppm Mo. The Mo requirement of legumes is higher than that of other plants since Mo is essential for the fixation of atmospheric N by the symbiotic bacteria. For the non-legumes, Mo is probably not needed if all the N requirement is supplied by the ammonium form. Molybdenum is essential for the conversion of nitrates to ammonium in the plant. In Georgia, Mo application has been found beneficial for alfalfa, particularly when the soil pH is low. The need for Mo on soybeans has also been confirmed in Georgia, particularly on the heavier Piedmont, Mountain, and Limestone Valley soils which are low (approximately 5.5 or less) in pH. Significant responses to Mo application have not been consistent on Coastal Plain soils.

Idaho AgFest – BAF’s Proud Partnership With Agriculture Late planting and an early freeze made the Idaho harvest season difficult for farmers and agricultural workers, so the 2019 AgFest hoped to recognize them for their hard work. Free to agricultural workers and their families, the AgFest was held on Saturday, October 19, 2019 in Idaho Falls, and attendees were treated to live entertainment, raffle prizes, local vendor booths, free lunch, a kid’s play area, and all-you-can-eat French fries! This year, AgFest also awarded five $1,000 scholarships to the children of agricultural workers. Basic American Foods proudly sponsored one of these scholarships in support of the agricultural community, an important BAF partner. On top of food, games, and other activities, AgFest offered resources to agricultural workers. There were more than 20 booths offering information about GED programs, higher education, and health and wellness. Raffle prizes included a BBQ Smoker, a Nintendo Switch, a 65-inch Samsung TV, and much more. The North Bingham Library gave away an estimated 1,000 books to kids for free. AgFest is a nonprofit organization started by local farmer Carl Taylor and his wife, Linda, with the goal to thank their workers and help them better their lives. He said other farmers and ranchers quickly jumped on the idea, as “a way for growers to give back to their employees who contribute to Idaho’s most important business, which is agriculture.”Back to posts

AGRICULTURAL LAW, WINE LAW AND NEW VEGETABLE VARIETIES.. In keeping with Italian tradition, and especially of the region that hosts our Turin office, our firm is organized to provide advice to companies engaged in the agri-food and wine sector. For companies in these sectors we offer assistance in the application of European laws and food industry standards. We have long-standing collaborations in place with experts in the various sectors (environment, hygiene, health-care, food, chemical, agricultural) complementary to our own. This enables us to adopt an interdisciplinary approach in addressing sensitive issues related to the interpretation and application of industry standards, without losing sight of technical aspects (e.g. hygiene, medical-health, chemical) and of the purposes that characterize the laws regulating the production and marketing of agri-food products (protecting human health, the environment and ensuring adequate advertising information) . ((Bruce comment: I really struggled with this sentence!!)) We have also acquired a specific expertise in the development, protection and exploitation of patents for new plant varieties. For more than a decade we have been assisting multinational companies engaged in this sector, for which we have structured complex production and marketing transactions by setting up joint ventures with Italian operators. In collaboration with our network of experts (agronomists, biologists and forensic geneticists) we also provide assistance, both in and out of court, to the breeders, producers and distributors of new plant varieties in protecting their intellectual property and in fighting the attempted usurpation or counterfeiting of their patents.

Organic coffee is completely free of sprays, additives, artificial flavors and the coffee has ripened calmly in the shade of the rainforest green trees… 75% of the world’s organic coffee production comes from Latin America. In many other parts of the world, organic coffee is also produced, such as Indonesia and Ethiopia. Peru has historically been the largest producer of organic coffee with a supply of nearly 500,000 bags. Honduras, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and El Salvador are other major producers. What is Organic coffee? In order to be called organic coffee, the coffee must be free from sprays and additives and that artificial fertilizers have not been used for the past 3 years at the place where the coffee is grown. When organic coffee is to grow up without artificial help, they need to grow in peace and quiet in the shade. The shade is donated by the rainforest that protects the coffee plants against the strong sun, and because this is needed, the forest in these areas is also not affected and in many places the forest is also replanted to give shade to the coffee. The green forests and the richer variety of vegetation attract a large variety of species of birds, which in turn live on insects that would in other cases destroy the coffee plants. In this way, the plantation owners do not need to spray the coffee plants as the birds do the work for them. The ecosystem is restored. Only 7% of the coffee we drink in Sweden is Organic. But the increase has been dramatic in recent years. Best Organic Coffee drinks Classic to cool off on a sunny summer day Brew Organic coffee. Pour into a tall glass. Fill with as many ice cubes as you want. If you like milk in the coffee then fill with any organic variety. Espresso,Cappuccino, Hot cup of coffee: Nothing goes up to a hot cup of coffee. Prepare a good cup of Organic coffee. Coffee and alcohol in perfect harmony: 3 cl organic whiskey 2 cups of strong, hot organic coffee 1 teaspoon brown ecofarin sugar 3 tablespoons lightly whipped organic cream - Brew the coffee. - Pour the whiskey into the glass and turn on the coffee. - Stir in the sugar. - Hold a spoon in the glass and let the cream slowly drain into the drink over the back of the spoon blade. - Serve with straw and long spoon.

This study builds upon recent findings from other laboratories and mounts further evidence for an ancestral or cryptic sexual stage in V. In 2 pot experiments, potato cultivars Element, Mirka, Ostara and Astartepea, sugarbeet, onion, flax, spring barley, faba beans, spring wheat and spring rape were inoculated with V. Verticillium wilt caused by V. Although the hypersensitive reaction in foliar plant diseases has been extensively described, little is clear regarding plant defense strategies in vascular wilt diseases affecting numerous economically veryicillium crops and trees. Although the function of these Archaea for their host plant remains speculative, this finding suggests a significant relevance of archaeal endophytes for plant-microbe interactions. Further research revealed that VdCP1 possesses chitin-binding properties and that the growth of vdcp1 knockout mutants was more affected by treatments with chitinase, indicating that VdCP1 could protect V. Full Text Available Intercropping could alleviate soil-borne verticilliim, however, few studies focused on the immunity of the host plant induced by the interspecific interactions. The detection of a high portion of archaeal taxa belonging to the phyla Thaumarchaeota, Crenarchaeota and Euryarchaeota in the amplicon libraries was an unexpected discovery, which was confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR revealing an archaeal portion of up to The results hono that VdCmr1 and VdPKS1 are required for melanin production, but neither is required for microsclerotia production. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used for quantification of the pathogen.

One of the oldest man-made foods Bread is a staple food prepared from a dough of flour and water, usually by baking. Throughout recorded history it has been a prominent food in large parts of the world and is one of the oldest man-made foods, having been of significant importance since the dawn of agriculture. Evidence from 30,000 years ago in Europe revealed starch residue on rocks used for pounding plants. It is possible that during this time, starch extract from the roots of plants, such as cattails and ferns, was spread on a flat rock, placed over a fire and cooked into a primitive form of flatbread. The world's oldest evidence of bread-making has been found in a 14,500 year old Natufian site in Jordan's northeastern desert. By 10,000 BC, with the dawn of the Neolithic age and the spread of agriculture, grains became the mainstay of making bread. Yeast spores are ubiquitous, including on the surface of cereal grains, so any dough left to rest leavens naturally.

An assessment of Pinus contorta seed production in British Columbia: Geographic variation and dynamically-downscaled climate correlates from the Canadian Regional Climate Model von Aderkas, Patrick Curry, Charles L. Agricultural and Forest Meteorology The ecological and economic importance of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Douglas ex Louden) in British Columbia (BC) has heightened interest in the adaptability and effective management of the species,especially as climate changes. The relationship between climate and the seed production of natural populations is a key management issue that has yet to be assessed. The purpose of this study is to determine if variation in P. contorta seed yield is related to the climate of BC.Regional differences in the seed production of lodgepole pine were examined using 1924 archived seedlot collections across 18 different natural stand seed planning zones (SPZs) in BC. The relationship between climate variation and the seed production of P. contorta was then evaluated using dynamically-downscaled output from the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM). Seed production is relatively consistent across SPZs spanning a wide range of climate regimes, with the exception of Nass Skeena Transition (NST) where seed yield is an order of magnitude higher than else where. Significant temporal correlations between overall trends in seed production and both temperature and precipitation were found using the CRCM output. However, only three of the 18 SPZs showed a significant overall trend in mean annual seed yield based on cone collections made between 1963 and2013, suggesting that the reproductive capacity of natural populations is well adapted to decadal-scale climate change. Tolerance to significant variation in climate likely plays an important role in explaining the ability of this species to thrive well outside its natural range.

You need to upgrade your Flash Player to view this content. Applying mulch to your landscape video. Applying mulch to your landscape is a simple "green up" strategy that everyone can do. There are many "green" benefits to applying mulch. Organic mulch improves soil fertility as it decomposes reducing the need for fertilizers. Mulches also help maintain soil moisture by reducing evaporation. Less supplemental irrigation is needed. Fresh mulch is known to inhibit weed germination and growth reducing the need for herbicides. All that is needed is a little hand weeding. Another big plus for using mulch is that it buffers soil temperatures keeping soils warmer in the winder and cooler in the summer. Mulch around trees and shrubs makes maintenance easier, reducing the likelihood of damage from string types of trimmers. In an area that is difficult to mow, irrigate, or maintain, use mulch to replace turf or ground cover. Consider placing mulch in shady areas where plants don't grow well. For additional information on mulch, please visit: Living Green: Mulch If you are buying bags containing 2 cubic feet of mulch, you can use the following chart. The inches (2-4) represent the depth of mulch you will need to lay down. |Your Plant Bed in Sq.

At River Jordan Orphanage In 2012 two acres of farmland adjacent to RJO was purchased by a Sunday School teacher and her students. The teacher discovered RJO through one of their Facebook live streams and decided to create a fundraiser. In approximately two months they had raised enough funds to make the purchase of the land. The Farm, run by Joseph Wamalwa, encompasses several types of Animals and Agriculture. The purpose of this program is to provide food for the Orphanage. The cost of feeding over 70 Children and the Staff is extremely high. These programs are very important for RJO to become self-sustaining and not rely on donations for food. Food insecurity is a major factor at the Orphanage and the farm is an excellent way to combat this. Currently the farm is sustained by donations and profits from selling some of the harvest. In 2019 River Jordan began planting crops. With the cost of food rising and the number of children to feed, we knew we needed to start growing some of our own food. Currently we are growing corn, sweet potatoes, black eyed peas, kale, avocados and fruit. The goal is to have two harvests per year to feed the orphans. If there is enough left after that, we will sell to the community and use the profits to fund the next planting season. RJO Chicken Project The goal of this project is to provide daily eggs for the children and staff at RJO. Eggs are a great source of protein in their diet. To maintain the chickens, we are currently selling the eggs to purchase feed, sawdust and antibiotics. We have 39 laying hens. We also have a beautiful chicken coup and an incubator for hatching. Many more chickens are needed to reach our goal to produce enough eggs for eating as well as provide for the upkeep of the chickens. This project is another example of how RJO is working towards becoming self-sufficient. RJO Goat Project The Goat Milk Program started in December 2021. The funding was donated by one of our Sponsors. Another vision of becoming self-sustaining at the orphanage by providing fresh goat milk for the children and staff. This will allow them some very important nutrients for their diet. This program has been a wonderful learning experience for the staff and children. Aside from the milk provided, the children are learning to care for farm animals which is a very important skill in Kenya. Currently we have two female goats and one female baby goat (Lucy). Two goats currently are waiting for their biological time to be inseminated. The third goat has completed nursing her baby, and is now providing milk to the orphanage. We are all very excited for this program to grow and continue to provide nutritious milk for years to come. RJO Fish Pond River Jordan's Farm has an Earthen Pond that was newly constructed in May of 2022 thanks to a generous donation by one of our Sponsors. The pond is approximately 50 by 50 meters and can hold up to 1,500 fish. Africa’s native fish Tilapia is raised from fingerlings. Tilapia is a great source of protein and Omega-3 fatty acids which are important for the growth and development of childrens' brain function. The process which takes about 6 to 7 months is a great learning experience for the children. They are taught to feed and care for the fish before harvesting them to eat and sell.

March pruning is one of the most important garden tasks for any landscape. It is also one that is often overlooked. Woody plants need to be pruned while they are dormant to prevent disease and pest infestation and also to control the disired type of spring growth. Don't miss this crucial garden visit!

Did everyone enjoy the summer vibe this weekend? Glorious sunshine and gardening, that’s what I call a good weekend. Last week I set myself two goals in the hopes that I might get some seeds sown: Sow some runner beans and peas Sow some spring onions I’m pleased to say the first goal was achieved I now have six pots of both runners and peas in my windowsill. Sadly goal two was abandoned, not because I didn’t have time but because I did some other tasks that needed doing: Strawberry planter set up Tomatoes plants potted on Bargain snapdragons planted So although the original goals weren’t all met I’m pretty pleased with the weekends work! I’m sad to report most of my original seeds, chillies, peppers and cucumbers, have been wiped out from greenfly. I did my best to save them with daily removals of the beasts but it’s time to admit defeat. I have resown some cucumbers and I may have to purchase some pepper plants from the garden centre. I managed to save the tomatoes and have potted them on to encourage some healthy growth. It’s been a bit of a nightmare year garden wise so far but I’m feeling positive after this weekend. This weeks goals are: Sow spring onions Let’s hope the summer vibe continues! What are your gardening goals? It’s been four weeks since my last post and I honestly couldn’t tell you where the time has gone. I have however finally made some progress in the garden to update you on. Highs and lows Between moving house, work and university I barely have time to breathe let alone garden. But me and the other half found a few spare moments over the bank holiday to get the potatoes planted out, Finally! I really hope they grow. They’ve been sat in the windowsill so long I fear the worst! I also brought some strawberry plants from B&Q to fill my second strawberry planter as all my runners from last year (bar two) have not survived my neglect at the beginning of the year. If you follow me on Instagram you will see that I also bagged some bargain snapdragons! My chillies, tomatoes and cucumber plants are being ravaged by greenfly (despite my daily attempts to get rid of the little devils!) and are making slow progress. I haven’t successful sown anything else yet either. I have plans to of course. Lots of plans. Very little action. A few weeks ago I did go and collect a large amount of pots and tools along with all my seeds and gardening books from my parents house but due to a lack of shed (the developers still haven’t provided it yet but only to me and my neighbour I notice everyone else seems to have one) it all remains in the boot of my car, keeping dry. The only way I can make myself feel better about the lack of progress in the garden is the continued miserable weather. Sadly my schedule isn’t getting any lighter until June but I have decided to set little goals each week to try and get somewhere! This week I will focus on: Last weekend we completed on our house and received the keys. We moved everything in on Saturday and are slowly finding a place for everything. Who knew we had so much stuff?! For the moment the house is the priority but the main things like curtains, flat packs and the kitchen are all done. But the thing I’m most excited about of course is my garden! It’s not much to look at ATM (a few slabs and a bit of mud) but hopefully this summer it will really start to come together. The top 9 paving slabs will eventually house the shed that comes with the property but it hasn’t been put up yet. We also get a water butt that hasn’t arrived yet (our builders were rushing to get us completed before there year end!). I’m really pleased at the size of the garden as I thought it was going to be much smaller and not have enough room to house my green house. Turns out there’s going to be enough room up next to the shed. The downside to the garden is it is north east facing preventing it from getting the maximum light through out the day but we are on the end of the row of houses with no-one overlooking us from the side so hopefully it won’t be to much of a problem! We aren’t going to have any TV or internet for a while (Joys of buying a new build!) so I’m excited to spend some of the free time drawing up plans for the garden. I would like it to be made up of raised beds for practical growing but I also want it to be pretty for visitors and BBQ’s. I’d love any suggestions you have for the area – space saving, veggie growing, anything really! Part of the reason I started my blog was to meet like minded people. Share tips and advice and meet some gardening friends as I don’t know anyone (other than my grandparents) that are really interested in growing. My boyfriend has always supported my hobby as he loves the idea of fresh healthy food. But something about the thought of having our own little garden in the near future has inspired him deeper into the growing world. He has decided to be the potato grower of our family. We took a trip to the garden centre a few weeks ago and whilst there we had a look around the seed potatoes that were available. His favourite that we’d seen a few weeks earlier were gone. From the little knowledge I had on seed potatoes we selected 6 second early (planted a little later than first early and before main crop) potatoes that were slug and disease resistant and good for all kinds of cooking (according to the label anyway). We also purchased a purpose built potato growing bag like this one. It’ll have pride of place on our new patio, and once we’ve moved house next week it will be almost time to plant them out I think. Currently the seed potatoes are sat in an egg box in the bedroom windowsill, happily chitting away. The gentlemen in the garden centre said the sprouts needed to be a few inches long but they don’t seem to have made much progress since we brought them (as you can see from the picture). We are both very excited for our own harvest of potatoes this summer! I promise to share with you all any success/failure that we have. Growing potatoes is a first for both of us and although I have researched online nothing beats a bit of first hand experience so if anyone has any advice/tips please share as we’d both appreciate the help! Im a little late with my garden planning this year. January was a pretty horrendous month workwise but, I’ve made it out the other side and February just disappeared! The big problem is I don’t know where to start with my garden planning this year. Me and my partner have purchased our first house and should be moving in two weeks time. We’re purchasing a new build property so I haven’t been able to measure and plan the garden. I have a rough idea of how I want it to look but it’ll take time and money to get it that way. So my plan of action it is to assume things will have to stay at my parents or in my large pots on the patio area that comes with our new home. Grow what you eat My first step as always is to make a list of things we eat regularly, I will then eliminate things I don’t have room for/climate for and finally add one or two things I’d like to try. This leaves me with a list that looks like this: Courgettes – newbie Sweet corn – newbie Blueberries – newbie There are tons of things I’d love to try but limiting it to a few a year means I don’t get overwhelmed and fail. Usually I’d draw out my area and decided where things will go but this year I’m just going to start things off and look at my situation when they need to go outdoors. Timing is everything I’ve made a list of all my items on a timeline showing when seeds need to be sowed inside, outdoors and when they can be planted out. As far as possible I will be following the square foot planting method as I did last year. I really enjoyed the organisation and the knowledge of exactly which plant was where. As i’m behind in the planning i’m also behind in the sowing but I don’t think it’s too much of a problem this year. The weather has been awfully peculiar (it was trying to snow here last week!) and it wouldn’t hurt to make sure we’re past any danger of frost and snow that could damage small seedlings. I will start some sowing seeds this coming weekend if it kills me! What has everyone planted so far?

As part of our programme to continually refine the playing surfaces at St. Margarets and to promote the fescue programme the greens have been treated with a graminicide called Stratos Ultra. The target grass is Highland Bentgrass which, due to its stoloniferous growth nature, sends runners across the greens which causes the grass to spread, creates uneven putting surfaces and looks unsightly as can be seen in the photo below.Once treated it will take approximately 14-21 days for the grass to die off. The damage will be localised and will not adversely affect the quality of the greens. Following the treatment, the greens will take on the appearance of the surface as seen in the below photo. Along with creating a good putting surface, Fescue is a more resilient grass which has natural disease and drought tolerance which is in line with our policy to maintain the golf course in an environmentally responsible manner. We would like to thank you for your understanding throughout this treatment, safe in the knowledge that it will ultimately improve the playing surfaces and your enjoyment of the golf course.

Amazing seed bombs in CPs! After reading Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert, we made seed bombs by mixing clay and compost. We sprinkled some seeds. Now it is time to plant and water them. Nature will then take its course. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope to see some lovely flowers !

'Where are the pictures!' everyone kept demanding. (Well, all two of the people who referred to this blog in conversation since my decision to post comments at the bottoms of blog entries effectively silenced all other input.) Looking at this picture, you will notice a few things. One is that I look a lot like a hippie sometimes. Another is that I live awfully close to my neighbours. With those astute observations out of the way, you will also notice that the subject of the photograph is garden beds. And not just any garden beds, but the ones in which my better half and I spent scores of hours overturning dirt to extricate several trash bags full of old dead roots, clothespins, and less savoury items that had been impacted for several years when the previous occupants of the house apparently let the beds go completely fallow for a long time before they moved out. As I type, the snow has turned to rain, and I do hope that that will have been the last snow of the year. I hoped it a few days ago, too, and I'll hope it again if we don't have some clear weather for planting soon. The plan is to test out spinach, carrots, spring onions, garlic, tomatoes, cucumbers, goya and kabocha each in their little partitioned areas to see which crops grow best in this soil and light. We really have no idea. The soil productivity in most parts of Japan is quite high and we expect to spend a great deal of time pulling up weeds after the impending two weeks of comfortable weather between winter and summer. That's got to be just around the corner. I'll post some pictures of the plants if I don't manage to kill them all.

‘Lazy Housewife’ and ‘Bloody Warrior’ conjure up all sorts of images, but in this instance they are key players in the new Heritage Garden at Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons in Oxfordshire. I designed the Heritage Garden to showcase heritage vegetables, as a result of a competition run in partnership with the Society of Garden Designers, Garden Organic and Hartley Botanic. It is now in its first growing season. Raymond Blanc, Le Manoir’s owner and chef, is passionate about preserving variety, both as a way of having more choice in the kitchen, but just as importantly to safeguard diversity of our vegetable varieties. Although young, the garden has produced a colourful and bountiful harvest. The squash ‘Tromboncino’ was a favourite with visitors during September. The fruit snaked its way through and round the sinuous chestnut and willow growing screens, and it is not difficult to guess how it acquired its name. Tromboncino is now being harvested for seed, and for display in the glasshouse. ‘Carruthers’ Purple-Podded’ pea has been a star of the show. It was very attractive both in flower – pink with magenta (which some visitors mistook for a sweet pea) –and pod – deep purple with a pewter bloom. It also highlighted the importance of growing heritage varieties. David Love-Cameron, the garden scholar at Le Manoir, had researched some heritage varieties from his local area, Northern Ireland, and wanted to grow ‘Carruthers’ Purple Podded’. The seed was not available commercially and the Heritage Seed Library had only a limited supply of this variety, and could not release seed. An appeal was put out on Radio Ulster, and a 86-year-old gardener who had recently “hung up his tools” rang in to say that he had some seed in a shoebox on the top of his wardrobe, and would happily donate some to the heritage garden. The garden is being checked daily to assess when vegetables, or their seeds, are ripe for harvest. ‘Lazy Housewife’ is a climbing French bean; it is stringless so saved the housewife a job! Its shiny white seed contrasts strongly with the coal-black bean seed of ‘Cherokee Trail of Tears’ which is being harvested from adjacent bamboo tepees. Around the dry stone walls of the rotunda, ‘Bloody Warrior’, a cos lettuce with red specks on its leaves, contrasts with ‘Carnival’, a frothy pillar of copper-bronze oak leaves, and the cool grey-green toothed leaves of ‘Brown Bath Cos’. Visitors who have not seen vegetables grown on for seed before often do not recognise the plants as lettuces. Interplanted with the lettuce are beetroots. Some of the beets were harvested young in late July, but others have been grown on to assess how the flavour has changed in the older roots being harvested now. The kitchens at Le Manoir hold regular blind vegetable tastings, and two of the heritage varieties have come out top in the recent pea and beetroot trials – ‘Carruthers’ Purple Podded’ pea and ‘Chioggia’ beetroot have beaten other more well-known varieties to the gold medal in Raymond Blanc’s kitchen.

Practical knowledge about use of reclaimed water for agriculture SUWANU EUROPE is honoured to announce the first on-line course on water reuse. Hereby, we provide you with unique training material on the use of reclaimed water in agriculture. The course includes relevant knowledge, experiences and technologies through our most relevant results: the info-packages and the e-learning platform. Contents are divided in different modules oriented to: - Water technology developers. - Agricultural practitioners and food industry. - Public authorities on strategic planning for water reuse implementation. - Consumers and general public. The water treatment training and courses online will be available in the languages of the target countries: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Flemish, German, Bulgarian and Greek. · Introduction to the course This module will provide initial information about SUWANU Europe and basic concepts of water reclamation. As well as its development potential in our society. · The Role of Reclaimed Water in the Green Deal Approach Module 1 presents the environmental benefits of the reclaimed water in agriculture and its connection to the green deal. Along with insights regarding the public perception and acceptance and how the positive image of water reclamation can be improved. · Water reclamation approaches In this module advanced and nature-based technologies used in water reclamation for agriculture are explained along with the correspondent quality requirements. Furthermore, the challenges and possible solutions faced in water reclamation are reviewed. · Reclaimed water for sustainable agriculture In this module main topics related to the operation of water reuse initiatives in agriculture are explained. Including irrigation equipment, effects of reclaimed water on crop quality and yield, feasibility, and the costs benefits. · EU Framework for Water Reclamation This module presents the new EU regulation and strategic plans of reclaimed water for agricultural irrigation. Additionally, provides information about how water reclamation can be incorporated into integrated water resources management. · Final test and Certificate The video topic questions were grouped and a final exam per module was prepared. The students must present and approve all the module exams to obtain the certificate. SUWANU EUROPE seeks to understand the knowledge and innovation processes related to the introduction of new solutions in the agricultural sector and the role of agricultural advisory services. SUWANU EUROPE as a thematic network focus on summarising, sharing and presenting the best practices and research findings that are near close to being put into practice, but not sufficiently known or used by practitioners. The consortium will design different online courses to bridge the gap on water reuse practical knowledge identified for each relevant stakeholder. The aim of these courses is to fix and maintain for long time the practical knowledge acquired through SUWANU EUROPE project and educate farmers and foresters in this area. The water treatment training courses will be mainly consist of audio-visual material (i.e. master class videos) based on practical knowledge identified and structured during the project. • Agricultural advisory groups, • Water reclamation operators, • Water engineers, • Consumers and the public

We delight in growing, harvesting, sorting, and packing our flower seeds by hand. Our farm-raised seeds go live in the online shop on January 18, 2022 and our small batches generally sell out quickly. Lupine loves the acidic soil in Tasha's field and puts on a beautiful show every June that never fails to delight us. They share the field with milkweed and other acidic-loving plants. In the summer butterflies of various varieties flutter peacefully over the flowers, many monarchs among them. We love to watch as lots of little monarch caterpillars hatch and grow in this magical field. Then the show finishes and the lupines create brown fuzzy seed pods that curl and pop open to reveal shiny black or brown seeds. We then harvest them, pulling the ripe seed pods off their stems and putting them into baskets. but we always let a few fall down into the soil, to grow up and add to this amazing show. After collecting them, we usually place a large piece of builder's plastic on the ground, add some pieces of lumber and prop a large window screen on the wood so air can circulate underneath. We place the seed pods on the first screen and cover it with a second to keep the flung seeds somewhat contained. After the late summer sun departs, we scoop everything back into paper bags overnight to avoid any dew. We repeat this process for a few more days or until the seed pods have all twisted and split and released their seeds. Above: Photo by Richard W Brown from Tasha Tudor's Garden. Tasha walks her Nubian goats through her field. Rest assured that corgis are far easier to lead than goats. It's something to see the hopeful seeds gathered in Tasha's potting shed while the snow blankets the frozen ground outside. Our hollyhocks are a beloved family heirloom and sorting the seeds out takes some care. Hollyhocks seeds are contained in a fuzzy pod whose chaff irritates the skin, but all of it is worth the show when they bloom. Our seeds are open-pollinated and we never know what color the offspring will turn out to be, it's always beautiful though! Learn more about open pollination and hollyhocks in general in our Tasha's Heirloom Hollyhock post. Our hollyhocks bloom in ivory, pink, magenta and yellow. It's a delight to discover the myriad varieties and the subtleties of expression. Garden Myrrh Seeds The sun leaves us quickly in early January. We finished sorting the garden myrrh as the sun filled the potting shed with a rosy glow. Time to warm our fingers and return another day to finish. Our farm-raised seeds go live in the Secret Garden category of online shop on January 18, 2022. (Note: Nearing the end of January, there are only a few varieties left. Please look for them again next January.)

Machineries developed in the Department of Post Harvest Technology and Agricultural Processing Pineapple Peeler, corer cum slicer This machine is for peeling, coring and slicing of pineapple is recommended for the restaurants and for canning industry. The out put capacity is 93kg/hr. Ashgourd seed extractor It helps to remove seed without affecting the germination efficiency. Seed extraction was done by moving the flexible shaft inside the ashgourd fruit with hand. Germination efficiency is 90% with an extraction efficiency 98%.Power requirement is 0.5hp.pacity is 80kg/hr It is used for separating the green pepper from the spikes . The peg tooth and spikes are welded on the shaft used for separating pepper from the spikes.Power requirement is 0.5hp,output capacity is 600kg/hr. Unit cost is Rs 40000/- External Aided Projects AICRP on Farm Implements and Machinery Location: Kelappaji College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Tavanur Function: The scheme was formulated to conduct feasibility tests on farm implements and machinery under various agro-climatic conditions with the following objectives: - To identify the present farm mechanization gaps and future needs for improved farm equipment on the basis of objective analysis of prevailing agro-socio-economic factors for different crops, cropping patterns and agro-climatic regions. - To conduct feasibility testing on farmers’ field of prototypes of proven designs of farm implements and machinery, selected from different regions for adoption under local conditions with a view to bridge the identified mechanization gaps. - To educate the farmers about the usefulness of the improved implements and their efficient handling by front line demonstrations. Identifying Research Problem and their prioritization Studies are conducted periodically on problems on agricultural sector for formulation of research priority in different agro climatic regions. The research priorities are made on the basis of comments and suggestions from the farmers, agricultural officers, engineers from the department of agriculture and scientists of different regions including problematic areas Husking of coconuts is carried out manually using the traditional crow-bar type tool. It needs great skill and the operation is highly dangerous and laborious. Youngsters are not ready to take up the job and scarcity is felt throughout the state. A 3 HP motor operated coconut dehusker was developed and evaluated. Without any gadget traditional climbers harvest coconut and arecanut by climbing in most dangerous way. These trees are highly slippery and regular deaths are reported. Acute shortage resulted in delay in harvesting of coconut and arecanut. Five different types of harvesting tools were developed and evaluated. The pulverising roller was found suitable to use as puddler for paddy fields. In Kerala, the entire paddy land is ploughed and puddled only by tractors and power tillers. For puddling operation for paddy transplanting in the traditional paddy lands a simple and lighter floating type self propelled puddler is introduced. This also reduced the initial investment and operational expenditure. Ten types of transplanters were evaluated. They are: IRRI 5-row transplanter, IRRI 6-row transplanter, APAU power tiller mounted 8-row transplanter, Improved tiller mounted transplanter (KAU) and Chinese Yanji 8-row transplanter, Walk behind transplanterKukje, AIC, Tong-Yang, Four wheel Yanmar and LG transplanters. The method of mat seedling preparation was standardized to suit different agro-ecological conditions. Trainings were given to the dealers and field operators regarding the improved mat preparation method and transplanting. Feasibility trials and extensive transplanting in the farmers fields were done in four districts. Savings of 80% labour, 56% cost, 40% time and 30% seed paddy were obtained. An increase in yield up to 18% compared to manual transplanting was also noted. Few hundred rice transplanters are successfully used in Kerala. The following 13 makes of the combine harvesters were evaluated. They are: Mitsubishi 18 hp mini combine, Kukje 18 hp head feed combine, Kukje 35 hp head feed combine, Kubota 48 hp rice combine, Claas Crop Tiger 54 hp grain tank combine, Kukje DKC-515 50 hp hopper combine, Kukje DKC-685 64 hp tank combine, Tractor 60 hp wheel type combine, Swaraj 55 hp crawler type combine, Preet 60 hp crawler type combine, Dae-Dong head feed combine, Redlands Champion TRF-15 combine, and Kubota DC 68G combine. The ChineeseSifang mini combine was also evaluated for the first time and was found to perform unsatisfactorily due to failure of its different components. Wheel type combine harvesters were found not suitable, because of traction problem, where as the track type combines worked well even in muddy field. The Dae-Dong head feed combine was introduced first time in Kerala during March 2010. It was evaluated in two seasons in four locations and was found to perform better compared to other combines in the highly sinking fields with heavy weed infestation. The tractor operated zero till seed drill was evaluated for seed rate, field capacity and fuel consumption. The fluted roller mechanism was calibrated to get the maximum field performance. The agronomically recommended seed rate for cow pea, green gram and paddy are 50-60 kg/ha, 20-25 kg/ha, and 80-90 kg/ha, respectively, where as the seed rate obtained during performance evaluation were 58.71 kg/ha, 22.53 kg/ha and 74.75 kg/ha. The field capacity obtained were 0.426 ha/h, 0.409 ha/h and 0.393 ha/h respectively and the fuel consumption were 0.390 l/h, 0.362 l/h and 0.365 l/h, respectively. The line sowing improved the yield and made weeding easier. The soil moisture available after the paddy harvest was utilized for seed germination and growth till the onset of summer paddy. Improvement of seed metering mechanism is needed for sowing summer paddy. The tractor operated raised bed planter was evaluated for seed rate, field capacity and specific fuel consumption. Performances of the raised bed planter for cow pea, green gram and dry paddy were done using internal double run mechanism. Performance of the raised bed planter for cow pea and green gram using inclined plate mechanism was with field capacity-0.476 ha/h for cow pea and 0.470 ha/h for green gram, and Fuel consumption-0.343 l/h for cow pea and 0.354 l/h for green gram. ClaasMarkant straw baler was evaluated at Ponnamudha of Thrissur in 8.5 ha. The length of the bale can be adjusted for 0.4 -1.1 m. The cost of straw is Rs.8/kg. The weight of a bale of length 60 cms ranges from 20-22 kg. Redlands baler was operated at instructional farm of KCAET, Tavanur in 4 ha and 2.6 ha at Cherpu, Thrissur. The round straw bale formed weighs around 18 kg. Custom hiring rate of tractor plus baler is Rs.10 per bale. Labour charge for a tractor operatded baler is Rs.600 per day of 8 working hours. Farmers are satisfied with the performance of straw balers, as the straw adds to the income of the farmers. Reaper cum knotter of Redlands was also evaluated at instructional farm of KCAET in an area of 3 ha. The pick up width of the machine is 500 mm.The average field capacity was found to be 0.2 ha/hr. The machine can bale 1000 bales of weight 1.5 kg and is having a specific fuel consumption of 1l/hr. The Comparative evaluation of Paddy weeder (TNAU Model) with Otake three row paddy weeder, manually operated roto-weeder and cono-weeder were done for 2.3 ha at Instructional farm, KCAET, Tavanur. It was found that Garuda paddy weederis a compact, lower weight user friendly machine, self propelled with floating system. The field capacity of the weeder is 0.038 ha/hr. Otake paddy weeder caused vibrations to the shoulder and it needed optimum level of water in the field for satisfactory operation. Right from the beginning in 1980, AICRP on FIM, Tavanur centre has been playing a pioneering role in research, prototype evaluation of machinery suitable for the agro climatic region, promotion of manufacturing through industrial extension and introduction and popularization of improved farm equipment through custom hiring. In the beginning, the farmers were reluctant to accept farm mechanization due to various socio-economical and political issues. The only machines used were the tractor with cage wheels and cultivator and the power tiller with cage wheels. AICRP on FIM had evaluated and introduced many advanced machinery, demonstrated their working at farmers field to make the farmers aware of latest machinery available in the market. The extension activities conducted under the scheme helped farmers to understand the technological and economical benefit of farm mechanization. The animal power has now been fully replaced by mechanical power. The mechanization level of principal crops has also grown higher as shown in table. Mechanization level of principal crops of Kerala Precision Farming Development Centre, Tavanur Funded by: National Committee on Plasticulture Applications in Horticulture, New DelhiFaculty and student involvement: The student projects in the graduate level and the masters thesis taken in this line are being helped through this research project. During the practical hours also students are taken to the field to get familiarized with the technologies like micro irrigation, fertigation, protected cultivation etc. Salient accomplishments in research during 2008-12 Production of quality vegetable seedlings in low tunnels under humid tropic conditions. Low tunnel structures made of MS rod and MS flat with 100 micron thick UV stabilized polythene sheet as cladding material can be adopted as a low tunnel technology for nursery production. Seedlings raised under low tunnels in Pro- trays gave the best performance. The method can be adopted as a cost effective method for seedling raising. Fertigation in coconut The biometric observations showed that fertigation with 80% of the recommended doze of fertilizer are the best treatment for coconut. The yield trend also gives the same result. Fertigation is to be done at monthly intervals with 80 % of the recommended dose of fertilizer. Phophorous is given through basal application in 6 split doses at an interval of 2 months. Nitrogen and Potassium is to be applied throughfertigation. The quantity to be applied for hybrid plants after 2 years of age is 60gm N and 130gm K/plant/month. In low lying areas where the water table is high, fertigation can be done after water table recedes or two applications can be combined. Water and nutrient management for cucumber grown in naturally ventilated green houses. Application of neem cake, vermi compost, VAM, along with drip irrigation and silver black mulching gave higher yields for salad cucumber crop inside naturally ventilated greenhouse. A water application rate of 1.5 l/plant/day through drip irrigation was found to be suitable for salad cucumber grown in naturally ventilated greenhouse. Cultivation of cool season vegetables in Naturally Ventilated GreenHouse(NVGH). The crop inside the naturally ventilated greenhouse yielded early by three weeks. The quality of the produce as its size and the physiological parameters as biomass production inside the NVGH was significantly higher than that of outside. Almost double yield was observed in case of cabbage and cauliflower respectively from inside the NVGH compared to open field.
