Environmental factor which is one of the basic conditions of organic production, plays a big role in determining poultry areas. In terms of biosafety, production farms are distributed in three different locations.
Organic eggs are produced in İzmir Bayındır’s Çınardibi village which is called the mountain location with 13 producers in total. In the pine forests, the poultry houses located in a clean environment have been mobilized to produce organic eggs and has promoted and started organic production which is suitable for the ecological conditions of the region.
The region is also a social responsibility project for Kor Yumurta. In this way, additional income has been earned by the people of the region. In İzmir Kemalpaşa, where we call Ova Location, organic egg production continues with 17 poultry houses of different capacities. In Manisa Turgutlu, which we call Bayır Location, organic egg production continues with 10 poultry houses. Organic eggs are brought to the egg warehouse in Armutlu/Kemalpaşa every day and after sorting and packing, they are set out for distribution points. Thanks to intensive preference of our customers, the amount of our poultry houses and organic production volume are growing day by day. | agronomy |

Sam Bok recalls “I was afraid, the flood was terrible, it was strong”.
Sam Bok’s husband died of lung disease and she has been a widow for 20 years, bearing the responsibility of supporting her family alone. She also lives with a disability as she lost her leg to gangrene and now has a prosthetic leg which impacts her mobility. Sam Bok helps to support her three children and grandson, even prior to the floods it was a challenge to make ends meet. The flood has pushed her family further into poverty as they have very little food at home to eat and their prospects for growing food are gone following the destruction of their crops.
Sam Bok describes the family’s situation, “The flood was serious and it destroyed my rice filed. All the paddies were ruined from long days of flooding; the water reached chest height”.
CARE responded quickly to this situation and partnered with Sam Bok’s community to provide emergency food for vulnerable households, supplied seeds to replant vital crops and developed a cash for work scheme to give families income opportunities through rebuilding vital infrastructure, such as roads, affected by the floods.
Sam Bok was one of over 1.2 million people affected by the floods in Cambodia, which also destroyed 10 per cent of crops. It was important that CARE’s emergency response supported the community immediately after the flood to address pressing needs, but also worked with them to help restore their livelihoods in the longer term.
Sam Bok received 20k of rice seed to plant, and since the flood, has managed to subsidise her income making handicrafts to sell. She has also been eligible for food support from CARE, receiving the provision of vital food supplies for the family each month until crops can be harvested again. The food distributed includes rice, vegetable oil, tinned fish and fortified blended food. At a local distribution point Sam Bok reflects upon what this means for her family and young grandson, she says “I am very happy to be taking this food home today”.
Cooking instructions are also provided at the community food distribution point, so families can get the most nutritional benefit from the emergency food supplies.
Sam Bok remains optimistic following the floods she says “I hope that after harvest, I can get some rice and keep some for the next season.” The next harvest will provide important food for the family, but also allow Sam Bok to plant again and get her family back on their feet.
CARE’s flood response in Cambodia supported the most vulnerable households including female headed households, those who can’t work and individuals with disabilities. Over 1500 households were supported with food distribution as part of the Vulnerable Group Feeding initiative. | agronomy |

It was a wonderful feeling to look at your family’s dinner plate and know you grew that meal. That kind of self sufficiency was just not possible in the last few years.
Oh how I have missed skipping entire aisles at the grocery store because my pantry was already full of those homegrown items. I hated facing the aisle of canned tomato sauce searching the sauce that was just sauce without the added salt or sugar, and even then didn’t taste like what I used to have in my mason jars. I’ve missed the taste and satisfaction of homegrown.
But we all do the best we can. For the last couple of years that has meant shopping from farmers I trust in season, and making do at the grocery out of season. Moving here meant starting over with my homesteading plans, and with finding farmers I trust nearby.
Thankfully, we have a wonderful farmers market here. Main Street Wadsworth Farmers Market is large enough to offer a nice variety, but small enough that choosing a vendor is not overwhelming. I was able to talk to the farmers, and found several whose growing practices align with mine. We ate well and at a reasonable cost this summer.
With the last farmers market earlier this month came a realization that I would soon be completely dependent on the grocery store again. I also realized with the oldest off to school and the rest of us fairly settled into our new home and routines, there was time to can if I had something to can.
I texted one of my favorite farms from the market. I knew it was late in the season, but figured it was worth a try. It paid off. They told me to come pick all the beans and tomatoes we wanted for free!
It was a beautiful fall day. I had not been to the garden part of their farm before. Their neat beautiful rows gave me garden envy. My gardens never looked this neat at the end of the season (or the beginning for that matter.) The tomatoes were about done, but we did get a bag full to make some fresh sauce and soup. There were still a lot of beans. The whole family worked on cleaning them. We washed up the mason jars and tattler lids (that hadn’t seen the light of day for some time.) We ended up canning 32 quarts.
Now my pantry has exactly one shelf of (almost) homegrown goodness for the winter. Not exactly worthy of grocery aisle skipping, but a start. We can only can what we can. | agronomy |

1. Discovering Lucrative Opportunities in the Mushroom Industry
Mushrooms are experiencing a surge in demand, driven by their versatility and nutritional value. Restaurants, grocery stores, health and wellness industries, and even pharmaceutical companies are incorporating mushrooms into their products. This widespread demand creates a multitude of opportunities for mushroom growers to establish thriving businesses.
The mushroom market offers significant profit potential and prospects for growth, making it an enticing industry for aspiring entrepreneurs. Moreover, mushroom cultivation boasts low startup costs and high yield potential, further adding to its appeal.
2. Choosing Your Path: Simplified, Intermediate, or Advanced Approaches
When venturing into mushroom cultivation, you have the flexibility to choose from different approaches based on your resources, time commitment, and goals. Let’s take a detailed look at each method:
The Simplified Approach: Constructing A Fruiting Chamber
The easiest way to embark on a mushroom cultivation business is by constructing a fruiting chamber. This specially designed space provides the optimal environment for mushroom growth, encompassing controlled temperature, humidity, and lighting conditions. By procuring ready-to-fruit blocks, which come pre-inoculated with mushroom mycelium, you can bypass the labor-intensive process of substrate preparation.
Simply place these blocks in the fruiting chamber, and within a few days, you’ll witness the growth of mushrooms ready for harvest. While this method requires minimal setup and is less time-consuming, it may yield comparatively lower profits than the other approaches.
The Intermediate Approach: Establishing A Preparation Area, Laboratory, And Incubation Space
For individuals seeking greater control over the cultivation process and higher profitability, the intermediate approach provides an excellent choice. This method involves setting up a dedicated preparation area, a laboratory for inoculation, and a designated incubation space. In the preparation area, you’ll mix substrates, such as soy hulls and softwood fuel pellets, to create an ideal growing medium. These substrates then undergo a sterilization process to eliminate contaminants. In the laboratory, you’ll inoculate the sterilized substrates with mushroom spawn, which kickstarts the growth of mycelium.
The incubation space provides the necessary conditions for mycelium to thrive. Once the mycelium has fully colonized the substrate, it is transferred to the fruiting chamber, where mushrooms begin to develop. The intermediate method requires more labor and setup, but it offers significantly higher profit potential.
The Advanced Approach: Producing Your Own Spawn
The most comprehensive method for starting a successful mushroom cultivation business involves producing your own spawn. Spawn serves as the primary inoculant for mushroom cultivation. While this approach demands additional equipment and expertise, it also offers numerous advantages. By controlling the entire spawn production process, you ensure consistently high-quality results.
Additionally, producing your own spawn yields long-term cost savings, particularly if you plan to expand your operations. However, it is important to note that producing spawn can be challenging and time-consuming. Alternatively, reputable spawn providers are available in the market if you prefer not to produce it yourself.
Step-By-Step Guide To Building A Flourishing Mushroom Cultivation Business
To assist you in your journey toward success, let’s delve into a step-by-step guide for each method:
1. The Simplified Approach: Constructing A Fruiting Chamber
1. Choose an appropriate location for your fruiting chamber.
2. Construct the chamber using suitable materials, ensuring proper ventilation.
3. Install LED lights, ventilation systems, and a humidifier to maintain optimal growing conditions.
4. Source ready-to-fruit blocks from reputable suppliers.
5. Place the blocks in the fruiting chamber and monitor the necessary conditions for mushroom growth.
6. Harvest the mature mushrooms when they reach the desired size and appearance.
2. The Intermediate Approach: Establishing A Preparation Area, Laboratory, And Incubation Space
1. Allocate space for a dedicated preparation area, laboratory, and incubation space.
2. Prepare the substrates by meticulously mixing ingredients, such as soy hulls and softwood fuel pellets.
3. Sterilize the substrates using a sterilizer or pressure cooker to eliminate contaminants.
4. In the laboratory, inoculate the sterilized substrates with mushroom spawn.
5. Transfer the inoculated substrates to the incubation space and maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity levels.
6. Once the mycelium has fully colonized the substrate, move the blocks to the fruiting chamber.
7. Provide the necessary conditions in the fruiting chamber to facilitate mushroom formation.
8. Harvest the mature mushrooms and repeat the process for subsequent batches.
3. The Advanced Approach: Producing Your Own Spawn
1. Acquire the necessary equipment, such as an autoclave, pressure cooker, and laminar flow hood.
2. Select a suitable mushroom species for spawn production.
3. Prepare a nutrient-rich medium for mycelium growth.
4. Sterilize the medium using an autoclave to ensure a sterile environment.
5. Inoculate the sterilized medium with a pure culture of the desired mushroom species.
6. Incubate the inoculated medium until the mycelium fully colonizes it.
7. Harvest the mature mycelium and store it in a suitable container or use it to inoculate substrates for fruiting.
Expanding Operations And Ensuring Long-Term Success
As your mushroom cultivation business flourishes, consider implementing the following strategies to scale up operations and ensure long-term success:
1. Effective Marketing And Promotion
1. Identify your target market and develop comprehensive marketing strategies to reach potential customers.
2. Leverage online platforms, social media channels, and local networks to promote your mushroom products.
3. Emphasize the unique qualities and benefits of your mushrooms to stand out in the market.
2. Quality Control And Consistent Supply
1. Establish stringent quality control measures to deliver superior mushrooms to customers.
2. Continuously monitor and maintain optimal growing conditions, including temperature, humidity, and ventilation.
3. Establish robust supply chains for sourcing substrates, spawn, and other essential materials.
4. Efficient Business Management:
5. Streamline operations, encompassing inventory management, record keeping, and financial tracking.
6. Foster innovation and diversification of product offerings to cater to evolving market demands.
7. Cultivate strong relationships with suppliers, customers, and industry professionals to expand your network.
Embarking on a mushroom cultivation business opens doors to tremendous profit potential. By comprehending the opportunities offered by the mushroom industry, selecting an appropriate approach, and following a meticulous step-by-step guide, you can establish a thriving and prosperous enterprise.
Whether you opt for the simplified, intermediate, or advanced method, success hinges on dedication, diligence, and a passion for cultivating this remarkable fungi. Take the first step toward transforming mushrooms into a profitable venture today. | agronomy |

This is also a good time to think about a late summer/autumn garden tidy up.
The leaves are beginning to fall now so keep them raked up regularly especially on grassed areas to avoid bald patches on the lawn.
Continue to mow lawns with the blades raised and apply Autumn fertilizer.
Plant winter bedding for a splash of colour and dont forget to plant those Spring flowering bulbs.
Continue to mow as necessary as the grass will continue to grow if the weather remains mild.
A good time to tidy up those flower beds and borders and of course keep on top of those leaves.
Prune established Apple and Pear trees.
Gives hedges a trim before the winter.
A good time to prune out dead, damaged and diseased branches from established trees and shrubs, cutting back to healthy wood.
Continue to mow with the blades set high, if the growth of the lawn demands it.
Finish preparing seed beds for next Spring. Prune established bush roses by shortening long stems by half.
Ensure that the garden is looking tidy for those Christmas guests! If using outdoor lights and decorations make sure they are safely connected to the power supply and always use a circuit breaker/trip-switch that has been fitted by a qualified electrician. | agronomy |

Who we are, and what we do
Koppert Cress is located in the Westland in the Netherlands and is always on the lookout for natural, innovative ingredients which chefs can use to intensify the flavour, aroma, or presentation of their dishes; products that meet the increasingly stringent requirements of restaurants worldwide. The assortment consist of freshly-sprouted seedlings (cresses) and other edible leaves and flowers (specialties) from 100% natural aromatic plants.
The success of Koppert Cress is completely dependent on the recognition and acceptance by the professional user. Taste is a precondition for this. But there is more than taste. Rob Baan realized early on that healthy food will play an increasingly important role and that we will be increasingly involved. The company has chosen as its mission "Let's change the way we look at food".
For more information about Koppert Cress' mission, please refer to our manifest.
Rob Baan, CEO Koppert Cress
Rob Baan has been the CEO of Koppert Cress since 2002. A passionate and sometimes stubborn man; qualities needed to pursue his dream of making the Netherlands the healthiest delta in the world. Rob is about more than edible plants. Horticulture needs a voice. A voice that can tell the world how the sector offers solutions to many problems we face as a society, such as feeding the growing world population, health problems and a lack of sustainable energy. To represent the interests of the entire horticultural sector, Rob jumps on the barricades. Learn more about Rob via this travel story.
To change the way we look at food, five themes have been chosen.
Sustainability: Human health depends on the health of nature, which we strive to protect by minimizing our impact on the environment.
The role of horticulture: The horticultural sector offers solutions for a whole range of social problems, including the looming shortage of healthy food and the need for energy-neutral production methods.
The world of plants: Humans were made to eat plants, but we know far too few of them. Travel with us and be amazed by this green world.
Gastronomy and hospitality: These culinary visionaries inspire us. Together we create new and exciting flavors by approaching vegetables, plants and edible flowers in a creative way.
Food and health: Healthy food is crucial for a healthy lifestyle. We want less pills and more peppers on the menu.

The elephant is a hundred percent vegetarian animal which is a hundred percent herbivores,
So the elephant dung will look similar to a variety of plant fibers that have been thoroughly crushed.
Which elephant dung can tell us many things in terms of telling the size and age of elephants.
Big Elephants will have large dung, and Small Elephants or Young Elephants, will have small dung and consist of more detailed fibers.
While the elder elephants, their digestive efficiency is reduced, so the dung will be coarse.
Elephant dung has many benefits as follows.
- Able to be used as a mosquito repellent due to elephants are herbivores so elephant dung can be a herb without danger.
- Used as biogas, which is renewable energy from elephant dung.
- To make stationary equipment or souvenirs in terms of elephant dung paper.

That doesn’t mean that it is true.
The United States Department of Agriculture defines how a product is classified as organic and that classification is guaranteed with a seal.
Organic farmers are required to follow rules set by the USDA in terms of how to maintain their soil, how produce must be grown and the treatment and wellness of their livestock.
Breaking these rules can result in a fine and the certification being denied.
When you go grocery shopping, ensure that you are checking labels correctly. Identifying a product as a USDA certified organic product confirms that you are indeed eating organic. | agronomy |

So, we are humbled to share the story of the arduous adventure that brought one such dream into fruition.
The journey began when Edgar Oliva, father of Ronaldo Oliva who is the real protagonist of our story, began to cultivate Aloe Vera south of the border, in the beautiful country of Guatemala in Central America. Considering that the warmth of the tropical sun and the fertile soil are the two essential elements required to ensure well balanced vigorous crops, the stage was perfect for the vast plantation to thrive and become a marketing success distributed to the neighboring South American countries.
The year 1989 generated a very real challenge when the family emigrated North to Montreal, Canada. Ronaldo’s father purchased land in the small town of St-Isidore-de-Laprairie where he constructed a single greenhouse. At that time young thriteen-year-old Ronaldo duly followed in his father’s footsteps in working the fields, learning the insurmountable hard work and dedication that growing Aloe Vera demands. Needless to say, very few have mastered the art of growing Organic Aloe Vera plants year-round in Canada’s Nordic climate.
Fast forward two decades later, Ronaldo has become President of NorAloe, operating several greenhouses that produce over 50,000 very healthy Aloe Vera plants a year. These healthy succulents are distributed to garden centers, organic stores, individuals and supermarkets across Quebec and areas of Ontario. Such high demand originates from the powerful gel which has been scientifically proven to yield at least seventy-five, yes 75, nutrients that include Vitamins, Minerals, Polyphenols, Amino acids, and so much more that is beneficial when applied topically or ingested.
It is of utmost importance for Ronaldo to develop and expand the business but ensuring that it has zero impact on the environment. Now, the time has come for him to share his passion and knowledge about growing and caring for this beautiful plant and to fulfill his dream of providing fresh organic Aloe Vera plants year round. Major developments are in the works to supply other products of superior quality derived from fresh gel extracted from his Aloe Vera.
Enjoy NorAloe online, following Ronaldo, his extraordinary team and their beautiful dogs on Instagram and Facebook. You will not be disappointed! | agronomy |

Here's a crash course in the basics of organic foods and their labels so that you can make the right choices.
How organic is your food?
You've heard the term, you've seen the goods, but what does organic really mean? Are garden vegetables organic? Are the herbs you grow in your kitchen organic?
Not necessarily. The term organic refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed. There are very specific requirements that must be met in order for a food to be classified as organic.
Before you go running out to start your organic kitchen garden for the summer, you must know that in order for your produce to be labelled organic it must be:
- Grown in safe soil. You can't mess around with the water table, so it's either the fancy Japanese grass or the plump tomatoes.
- The produce cannot be modified. You can't really buy the shiny seed packets from the supermarket because those have been genetically engineered to give shinier produce.
- Free of synthetic pesticides. If you have your heart set on the most luscious fruit-bearing garden, you will have to physically work harder on it. A little sprinkle of urea is a big no-no.
Understanding those labels
Here's a quick guide to understand what you're picking off the rack.
These foods are completely organic and do not contain anything otherwise.
These foods contain at least 95% organic ingredients.
Made with organic ingredients:
These foods have been made using at least 70% organic ingredients.
Eat healthy, save the earth
Organic practices in agriculture encourage soil and water conservation, reduce pollution, and use non-chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. So take the plunge, live like you care! Adopt a healthier, environmentally conscious life and opt for organic foods. Not only are they better for you; they're also way cooler than regular stuff. | agronomy |

Most alarming are the harrowing facts about the thousands of deadly synthetic chemicals that have for decades been released into the biosphere and which we continually absorb, from dioxin to agrochemical nerve gas to the weed killer Roundup. Vallianatos and Jenkins explain the science behind these poisons and their many dire effects, from cancer to the death of honeybee colonies. Equally appalling is the silencing of heroic EPA whistle-blowers, fraudulent scientific studies, and the hijacking of the democratic process.
Beyond Pesticides’ new report, “Pesticide Use in Marijuana Production: Safety Issues and Sustainable Options,” looks at regulations (and the lack thereof) around pesticide use in the production of cannabis in 23 states and the District of Columbia.

The ban applies to non-basmati white rice shipments and is aimed toward controlling native costs, however the transfer has prolonged to world meals markets amid unhealthy climate and ongoing conflicts in Ukraine. Social media is stuffed with movies exhibiting distressed abroad Indian communities within the US, Canada, and Australia speeding to purchase rice.
Take a look at a few of them right here:
On July 20, the Ministry of Meals and Shopper Affairs of India lifted the ban on the sale of non-basmati white rice as a way to stabilize costs within the nation. Rice manufacturing has been affected by adversarial climate situations, together with heavy rains in rice-producing areas and water shortages in some areas. Whereas parboiled rice is exempted, the federal government’s important goal is to make sure that healthful non-basmati white rice is out there within the home market whereas growing the value.
In response to experiences from the US, there may be panic shopping for, with movies exhibiting folks speeding to purchase luggage of rice of varied varieties. In Indian communities, the place rice is the principle commodity, outlets are full, prompting some shopkeepers to chop shares and impose buy limits.

How much fuel was expended to ship it?
How many ounces of scraps were cast aside from the trimmings?
Consider the classic white t-shirt.
Annually, 2 billion t-shirts are sold and bought globally, making it one of the most common garments in the world.
But how and where is the average t-shirt made, and what’s its environmental impact?
The life-cycle of a t-shirt
Let’s consider the life cycle of a t-shirt. A ‘Life Cycle’ as defined by the International Organization of Standardizations (ISO) is a methodology to assess the environmental impacts of a process, service or product.
It’s not just, ‘you buy it, you wear it, you throw it away,’ which defines, perhaps, a t-shirt’s life in your wardrobe; let’s think about the full scale impacts of a t-shirt on the planet.
Cotton Farming for Textile Production
The environmental cost of cotton cultivation is a significant concern.
The use of pesticides and fertilizers in cotton farming has led to soil degradation, water pollution, and loss of biodiversity.
Additionally, cotton farming requires large amounts of water, which can lead to water scarcity in areas where water resources are limited.
The production of cotton also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, as energy is required for irrigation, transportation, and processing.
Most t-shirts are made from cotton, which is grown in 80 countries by 25 million farmers who produced a total of 25.9 millions tonnes of fiber between 2018 and 2019. Conventional cotton farming consumes 6% of the world’s pesticides even though it only uses 2.4% of the world’s land.
These chemicals control pests like the pink bollworm, but they can also poison other wildlife and people. Farmers tend to use large amounts of synthetic fertilizer to maximize the amount of cotton they grow, which can degrade soil and pollute rivers.
More than 70% of global cotton production comes from irrigated farms (Irrigated farms are agricultural lands that receive water through artificial means, such as canals, pipes, or sprinklers) and it takes one-and-a-half Olympic swimming pools of water to grow one tonne of cotton.
A single t-shirt could have used 7,000 liters of water just to grow the cotton it’s made from.
Once the cotton is grown and harvested, the production phase begins.
Spinning, knitting, wet process, bleaching, dyeing, confection, cutting and sewing.
Aside from the vast amount of water and energy all of these processes use, commercial dyes and bleaches are harmful pollutants that can ultimately contaminate groundwater.
The environmental cost associated with the dyeing process of textiles is a matter of great concern.
The use of synthetic dyes and chemicals in the process leads to the release of harmful pollutants into the environment, causing significant damage to ecosystems and human health.
The depletion of natural resources, such as water and energy, is also a major issue.
After the t-shirt is made, it needs to be transported.
If you look in your closest you’ll likely find a variety of countries of origin on your clothing tags. Studies have found that cargo trucks alone account for 1.15 pounds per mile of carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
Planes, ships and trains use much more.
The transportation of textiles incurs a significant environmental cost.
The production and distribution of textiles require the use of fossil fuels, which contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.
Additionally, the transportation of textiles often involves long distances and multiple modes of transportation, further increasing the environmental impact.
The next phase is retail, which may seem like the least harmful phase but… think again.
The biggest environmental drain your clothing causes comes from the repeated washing and drying we all do to keep our clothes clean.
In fact, the environmental impact of laundering that t-shirt for its life cycle (about 75 times) creates 17 times more CO2 emissions than the entire production process from cotton seed to retail store, two thirds of which is from using a conventional tumble dryer.
The ultimate phase in the life cycle of a t-shirt is its disposal, which regrettably entails a considerable amount of carbon emissions and environmental contamination.
However, this stage also presents an opportunity for exerting some degree of influence.
‘’How can I reduce my environmental footprint?’’
In order to minimize your environmental impact through your clothing choices, there are several steps you can take:
Firstly, consider purchasing clothing made from sustainable materials such as organic cotton or recycled polyester.
Secondly, opt for high-quality garments that will last longer and require fewer replacements.
Thirdly, avoid fast fashion and instead invest in timeless pieces that can be worn for years to come.
Additionally, consider donating or recycling clothing that is no longer needed rather than throwing it away.
Lastly, wash your clothes in cold water and hang dry them to reduce energy consumption.
By implementing these practices, you can significantly reduce your environmental footprint through your clothing choices.

According to a statement from Faro GNR, the cannabis plants were grown with a hydroponic system, whereby the roots are only in contact with water “a high tech system supported by a structure of a size not yet seen,” and which reduced the time needed for plants to grow.
During the search that took place in homes and greenhouses in an isolated area, which allegedly belong to a Swedish family, police found the entire plantation process, from growing to drying and packaging the drugs.
Two pit bulls guarded the entrance to the drug den, which had been under investigation by the Tavira Criminal Investigation branch of the GNR for several months prior to the raid.
A 40 year-old man was arrested during the operation, and another aged 25 was caught on Monday afternoon during another search that led to more cannabis being seized.
Aside from the 2,000 doses of the drug and the plants, various accessories used to package and weigh the drugs were also seized by the police.
The greenhouse was dismantled and the parts seized, while two vehicles with fake British number plates were also taken.
The GNR believe that this operation has led to one of the main production and distribution points for cannabis in the Algarve now being dismantled.
Meanwhile, Silves GNR seized 11 cannabis plants, 151 grammes of dried and packaged drugs and 70 cannabis plant seeds from the gardens of two properties near Armação de Pêra on Monday. This operation led to the arrest of three men aged between 24 and 47. | agronomy |

Plant tissue analysis can serve as a valuable tool to diagnose phosphorus deficiency or other potential fertility problems. A root pH between 6.2 and 7 is best in order to maximise absorption of the nutrient. In most plants these symptoms will appear when phosphorus concentration in the leaves is below 0.2%. Phosphorus (P) in plants. *Adapted from Southern Cooperative Series Bulletin no. There are a few reasons why phosphorus deficiency occurs in your cannabis plants, and they are the following: Over watering, soil has no air pockets left this will affect uptake of phosphorus; Low-temperature drops in the grow room to 55- 60 degrees Fahrenheit or 12- 15 degrees Celsius; High PH level above 7 Phosphorus deficiency results in stunted growth similar to nitrogen deficiency. 0.25‒0.50% Corn Maturity Ear leaf. Deficiencies in phosphorus can be temporarily caused by cold weather, and excessive rainfall can cause phosphorus to leach out of soils. It is important that you regularly chan… The most common sources of organic phosphorus for crops are animal manure, compost, or sewage sludge. For example, applying manure as the main source of nitrogen for corn will result in three- to four-fold excess application of phosphorus over the amount typically required by the plant. Additionally, if manure is applied annually, soil phosphorus will build up quickly in a few years. In most cases, phosphorus deficiency isn’t actually caused by a lack of phosphorus in the soil, but by some other problem that keeps the plants from absorbing nutrients properly. Phosphorus Deficiency. Cold soil temperatures, which inhibit phosphorus uptake Improper soil pH (acidity below 6.5 or alkalinity greater than 7.5), which inhibits phosphorus uptake Deficiency in the soil, which means phosphorus is unavailable or less available Excess levels of phosphorus in plant tissue may not affect yield but may induce iron, zinc, or manganese deficiencies. Over-use of high-potassium fertilizers such as tomato feed can cause magnesium deficiency, as plants take up potassium in preference to magnesium. N = nitrogen; P2O5= phosphate; K2O = potash; Ca = calcium; Mg = magnesium; The top photograph shows a phosphorus-deficient plant in sand culture with blue coloring throughout one older leaf and beginning to appear in the veins of others. These symptoms of potassium deficiency sound pretty bad, and that’s because they are. Application of DAP in calcareous soils or high pH soils may cause seedling damage if used as a starter fertilizer or banded in high concentration near roots. This can be achieved by using pH up and down products. Post navigation ← Previous News And Events Posted on December 2, 2020 by Eventually, the leaf tips turn brown and brittle and the leaves wither and drop. Symptoms: Spindly yellow plants or yellow leaves, sometimes with pink tints. Manures also are excellent sources of other nutrients, such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and sulphur. Identifying Phosphorus Deficiency In Plants. A calcium deficiency can cause new leaves (near the top of the plant) to be abnormally dark green, distorted, or irregularly shaped. The sufficiency range of phosphorus varies among crop, plant part, and growth stage. Phosphorus in plants is key in capturing, storing, and converting the sun’s energy into biomolecules, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), that drive biochemical reactions (e.g., photosynthesis) from germination through the formation of grain to maturity. What Causes Phosphorus Deficiency in Tomato Plants? In the case of any deficiency in aquatic plants, you should first consider carbon dioxide intake before dealing with the other nutrient factors. Especially if they are flowering. It rapidly releases phosphorus in moist soils and is most commonly used as a starter fertilizer. Phosphorus in commercial fertilizers is expressed in oxide form (P2O5) rather than the elemental form. A phosphorus deficiency can have a big impact on your plant development, especially during the flowering period. Conversely, application of DAP creates a temporary alkaline condition (pH of 7.8‒8.2) around the granules. shows phosphorus deficiency symptoms at an early stage of development. Calcium deficiency causes blossom-end rot in certain fruits, especially tomatoes. Roots absorb phosphate ions when they are dissolved in the soil water. The percentage of phosphate dissolved in water is referred to as water-soluble phosphate; the percentage dissolved in ammonium citrate solution is referred to as citrate-soluble phosphate. Foliar applications allow plants to absorb these nutrients through their leaves, rather than through the roots. Applying a balanced soluble fertilizer to foliage or around the base of each plant will alleviate the condition. Potassium deficiency is also common in chalky or peaty soils with a low clay content. N = nitrogen; P2O5 = phosphate; K2O = potash; Ca = calcium; Mg = magnesium; S = sulfur Photo: University of Missouri, By Debolina Chakraborty and Rishi Prasad, Alabama Cooperative Extension, Kansas: Finances and the Farm- An Online Class to Enhance Farm Management Skills, Farm Family Business: Cooperation Key for Lasting Relationships, Businesses – DTN, USDA Assistance Available for Producers Impacted by 2018-19 Natural Disasters, Farmer Sentiment Rises with Income Prospects Improve, Policy Concerns Remain – Ag Barometer, Estate Planning: Stepped-Up Basis – What Is It, Why Is It Important – DTN, DTN Cotton Open: Higher on Outside Influences, Shurley on Cotton: Market Optimism May Also Fuel Uncertainties, Texas: 27th Annual RGV Cotton, Grain PrePlant Conference, Online, Jan. 14, Alabama: 13 Counties Designated Natural Disaster Areas to Zeta, DTN Grain Open: Markets Bounce Back to End Week, Wheat Market: U.S. Richard Corrigan has been a full-time professional writer since 2010. Deficiency symptoms General: General yellowing of the whole plant, starting with the younger leaves. Cold temperatures retard root growth and reduce the phosphorus uptake in plants. Soybeans: Reducing Weed Seed, Foreign Material for Harvest The results should also include recommendations for soil amendments and quantities. Leaves turn yellow between the veins and the plant suffers from slow growth. One cause of a phosphorus deficiency is the pH of the roots. Inherited disorders. In soils deficient in this nutrient, adding phosphorus can speed plant development, boost root growth and aid in overwintering. Phosphorus is present in soil in organic and inorganic forms. 0.40‒0.60% Corn > 4 inches in height to tasseling Most recent mature leaf. Phosphorus is present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), which store information on how plants should perform routine functions such as synthesizing proteins, lipids, and nucleic acid and metabolizing sugars. In hydroponics one can expect deficiencies of most of the essential nutrient elements, i.e., nitrogen, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus, iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper. Phosphorus deficiency is rare. Orthophosphates are very reactive and can form stable complexes by binding with iron, aluminum, calcium, or magnesium that may be present in the soil. Deficiency, when it occurs, is most likely on sandy, low-organic matter soils. Phosphorus promotes early root growth, winter hardiness, and seed formation, stimulates tillering, and increases water use efficiency. Most commonly, however, it is the availability of this nutrient that is limited because phosphorus is adhered to … Source: ‟Nutrient Content of Fertilizer Materials” (Extension publication ANR-0174). Sufficiency range of phosphorus varies with the plant’s age and will produce a maximum yield without additional phosphorus application (provided there is no other limiting factor).

Nutrient analysis of some common phosphorus fertilizers are presented in tables 2 (inorganic sources) and 3 (organic sources). He earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from SUNY Geneseo in 2009. Polyphosphate is a liquid fertilizer and contains two forms of phosphorus: orthophosphate and polyphosphate. Dry soil conditions also can induce phosphorus deficiency in young plants. The sum of the water-soluble and citrate-soluble phosphates is the amount guaranteed on the fertilizer label and is considered plant available. Rice Market Update: What Lies Ahead in the New Year? This process is slow and is accomplished by soil microbes. Factors such as soil compaction, herbicide injury, insect pressure, and poor soil health also can cause phosphorus deficiency. Ordinary superphosphate is no longer used in crop production. This is perhaps the simplest explanation of potassium deficiency in plants, but it is not always the correct one. Phosphorous deficiency is not very obvious, but one can tell of its presence if plants fail to grow to their normal size or take too long to mature. Plants may be stunted and exhibit delayed maturity. Because this is a biological process, chicken litter P will be slowly available as compared to DAP. Export Sales Pace Remains Strong, Corn, Soybean Prices Climb with Beginning of New Year, Florida: 5 Counties Designated Natural Disaster Areas to Sally, National Peanut Board Sponsors Executive Farm Management Program. The right balance of phosphorus is vital to plant health. Calcareous soils with high calcium concentrations can be poor in phosphorus. Red stems can also be caused by direct light exposure (like a “tan”) Another example of bright red stems that may be the result of a Phosphorus deficiency, or … Anorexia. Plants take up phosphorus from soil solution in two forms only: H2PO4– or HPO42-, commonly referred to as orthophosphates. Symptoms: Spindly yellow plants or yellow leaves, sometimes with pink tints. Make sure to start your plants packed up with nutrients so all goes well while the plant is growing. To convert P2O5 to elemental phosphorus % and vice versa, use the following conversion formula: Several inorganic phosphorus fertilizers are available that differ in nutrient analysis. His areas of expertise include travel, sports and recreation, gardening, landscaping and the outdoors. There are a number of factors that can cause a lack of phosphorus. Phosphorus also speeds up blooming in flowering plants, and can boost the productivity of fruits and vegetables. 0.25‒0.40% Small grains (barley, oats, rye, wheat) Seedling to tiller Whole plants. Plants having less than 0.1 % phosphorus are designated as P-deficient because of its faster mobility in plants P gets translocated from older tissues to the meristematic tissue. The middle photograph was taken in a 7 field of the Marshall variety when green fruits were forming. The best way to determine the nutrient content of soil is through soil testing. The citrate-soluble phosphorus is usually a minor amount compared to water-soluble phosphorus. Phosphorus is a structural component of the plasma membrane of the cell; plays an essential role in the constitution of nucleotides and nucleic acids. Diammounium phosphate contains 90 percent water-soluble phosphate. Causes Of Potassium Deficiency. A common symptom of a cannabis phosphorus deficiency is bright red or purple stems, though it doesn’t appear on all affected plants. Corn: HELM Agro Granted EPA Approval for Katagon Herbicide. This system of expressing phosphorus as oxide is conventional shorthand. – DTN, Webinar: Election Impacts on Ag Law, Policy – Jan. 13, Michigan Soybeans: On-Farm Research Meetings, Jan. 14, 19, Texas: Red River Crops Conference Goes Virtual, Jan. 20-21, Georgia Cotton Commission Virtual Annual Meeting, Jan. 27, Uppermost mature cotton leaf blade on the vegetative stem, Concentrated superphosphate (triple superphosphate); Ca(H, Liquid form. Alcoholism. Also … Nutritional disorders include deficiencies of nutrients, toxicities or excesses of nutrients and other elements, and excessively high or low acidity. Common symptoms include stunted growth and a reddish or dark-green coloration in the leaves. Groups Argue EPA Failed on Glyphosate – DTN symptoms of phosphorus deficiency in plants. From a nutrient management standpoint, the source of phosphorus does not matter; however, what separates different sources is their ability to release phosphorus and increase the availability of phosphorus in soil solution for plant uptake. Orthophosphate is readily available to crops; polyphosphate needs to convert into orthophosphate before plants can take it up. Therefore, it is ideal to strive for a soil pH between this range when deficiency symptoms manifest. Nutrient Deficiency of Phosphorus. Plants are most likely to suffer from phosphorus deficiency when they are grown in compacted, poorly aerated soil that is low in organic matter. 0.30‒0.50% Corn Tasseling / bloom Ear leaf. While a phosphorus deficiency rarely occurs in plants that have been specifically planted and taken care of by a knowledgeable grower, when it does occur it can be devastating for a marijuana crop. Soil shortages of magnesium are common on light, sandy soils. One cause of a phosphorus deficiency is the pH of the roots. Potassium deficiency, also known as potash deficiency, is a plant disorder that is most common on light, sandy soils, because potassium ions (K +) are highly soluble and will easily leach from soils without colloids. Inadequate P nutrition delays plant maturity and reduces yields. Phosphorus deficiency is a plant disorder associated with insufficient supply of phosphorus. Phosphorus is a naturally occurring nutrient in soil that plants need for a variety of processes. Symptoms diminish, however, as the soil warms up. Phosphorus deficiency can be controlled by applying sources of phosphorus such as bone meal, rock The main cause of a potassium deficiency is the lack of potassium in the growing medium. Plants remain a very poor size. Mycorrhizas can increase the amount of phosphorus uptaken by plants. Iowa Soybeans: Herbicide Programs for Waterhemp Control The energy created by the plant via photosynthesis , is transported around the plant using phosphorus. Because of these fixation processes, phosphorus moves very little in most soils (less than an inch), stays close to its place of origin, and crops seldom absorb more than 20 percent of fertilizer phosphorus during the first cropping season after application. Plants require phosphorus from the early stages of development because it is hard to reverse the effects of the deficiency when signs of stunt growth appear. Dicamba: New Lawsuit, Same Complaints – DTN Commercial phosphorus fertilizers differ in their ability to dissolve in water. So before adding phosphorus supplements to your soil: Phosphorus deficiency in plants can be visually identified at the early vegetative stage as an abnormally dark green or reddish purple color along the edge of the lower plant leaves (figure 1). Phosphorus deficiency can cause a variety of symptoms, depending on the plant species. Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient required for plant growth. Phosphates are required for the biosynthesis of genetic material as well as ATP, essential for life. Availability of orthophoshates also depends on soil pH and is greatest when soil pH values are between 6 and 7.5. Even a severe P deficiency in a potato leaf shows no sign of red or purple margins – but the whole leaf may turn a deep bluish green. IPNI2010GSU07-1584 Phosphorus deficiency in canola. Nitrogen deficiency. Ideally, for healthy and productive soil you should aim for a phosphorus concentration of 20‑100 mg/kg. Deficiency symptoms are difficult to diagnose because the lack of various nutrients can cause similar symptoms, as can a variety of pests and diseases. Additionally, conditions such as acidic soil can make it difficult for plants to take up phosphorus even if the nutrient is present. Common polyphosphate fertilizers are the crystal-free fluids 10-34-0 or 11-37-0. Phosphorus in manure is mostly in organic form and must break down into plant-available form. Therefore, it is ideal to strive for a soil pH between this range when deficiency symptoms manifest. Phosphorus is highly mobile in plant and essential for respiration and cell division. The application of MAP creates a temporary acidic zone (pH of 3.5‒4.5) surrounding the granules. Cause – Magnesium is required for healthy leaves and for plants to harness energy from the sun (photosynthesis). Image: Getty Images. Phosphorus is like a power line, connecting all of your plants cells together. *Present in insignificant amounts Phosphorus problems in plants usually stem from a deficiency in this nutrient, but excessive phosphorus can also cause issues. Most of the damage patterns listed below, such as yellow leaves or crippled growth, can also be caused by a carbon deficiency. University of Arkansas: Soil Phosphorus Levels: Concerns and Recommendations, Plant & Soil Sciences eLibrary: Importance of Phosphorus to Plants, Texas A&M University: Phosphorus: Too Much and Plants May Suffer, Common Ground: Fertilizers, Soil Amendments, and Mulches, Fertilizer for Improved Plant Root Growth, Identifying a Phosphate Deficiency in Houseplants. Manure application should be carefully managed since the relative amount of nutrients required by each crop is different compared to the relative amount of nutrients present in the manure. Phosphorus content of organic sources varies, and the release of P is slow and variable. Most phosphorus deficiencies are observed. PHOSPHORUS DEFICIENCY.

https://webfirma.info/raising-friesians-from-calf-to-weaning-was-a-struggle-for-this-tipperary-breeder-then-he-moved-on-to-limousin-heifers/ | 2022-12-01T17:47:20 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710829.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20221201153700-20221201183700-00327.warc.gz | 0.964452 | 2,098 | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-49__0__11031348 | en | Dermot Costello was struggling to make a living on his 42-acre farm in Tipperary, raising more than 100 Friesians from calf to weaning.
Stunned by rising input costs, he decided to change the color and type of cattle he raises, and he’s optimistic he’s found a formula to deliver a reasonable return.
Dermot now buys Limousin heifers to resell them to replace suckler herds.
“I was putting a lot of money into it as calves with milk, meals and vet fees etc and I had to wait 12 months to get my money back,” he told farmers during the recent Teagasc open day at the farm.
“I wanted to move to a system where I didn’t have to wait so long for my money and if possible have money coming in throughout the year. — I needed money to continue.
“I went to fatten Limousin and Charolais heifers. Then I was paying a meal bill for the whole year and wanted to move to a system where I could completely eliminate meals and reduce expenses.
“I really wanted a low cost system and reduced fertilizer usage.”
However, Dermot says the margin is tightening again as the cost of virgin heifers skyrockets.
“I had in mind for a while to buy them at a low maintenance weight, pretty close to 500kg, calve them and bring them up to 600kg or 650kg to calve or sell in calfskin”, he mentioned.
“My plan was to do it all year round, so every month I have a few to sell and I buy as replacements. The exception may be the period May-June, because I have fewer customers to this time of year.
“What I buy has become very expensive. When the beef rose it did not suit me at all. I went from buying at around €1200/hd and I’m lucky to be able to get them at €1400/hd.
“So I lowered the weights and reduced my purchases to 450-460 kg.
“Before, I received between €2,100 and €2,200 for them on sale. I don’t get anything more now, but the purchase cost has gone up a lot and the margin has gotten tighter.
“Hopefully the suckler farmer will be in a better position when they buy them, because they get a better price for their weaned calves.
“Generally they stay on the farm for up to 10 months and up to a month longer if I calve them before I sell them.”
Dermot’s farm in Lisquillabeen, Coolbawn, outside Borrisokane, hosted one of the Teagasc series of Spring Beef Grass Walks taking place this month to highlight the benefits of good soil fertility for the production of grass, in order to reduce agricultural costs.
His Teagasc adviser, Michael Daly, explained that Dermot is now concentrating on producing mainly Limousin heifers, full or calved for which he has built up a good clientele.
“There are 60 cross-continental heifers to try out a system that lowers their meal bill and maximizes grass usage on the farm,” Michael said.
“It works for Dermot. This may not work for everyone — it is a moveable feast.
“It is an exceptionally dry farm and the plan is to maximize the use of the grass and make the most of the slurry, which is very good value for money today, given the decline fertilizer prices.
“Artificial fertilizer costs on this farm were around €3,000 last year and this year it would cost around €8,000, so we will rely a lot more on using slurry as needed.”
The balance between park-fed silage and grazing is tightly managed, with every opportunity taken to graze available grass as soon as possible.
Right now there is enough grass on the farm that about a third of the stock is depleted..
Soil temperature on the farm last week was 6.5-7⁰C, and a slight pick-up in grazed pasture was evident as you walked through the fields.
“There was some stock out of stock on January 15, but they had to be put away in early February after the weather change, but some of them have been out again since February 26,” Michael said.
“The two weeks off saved 10-15 bales of silage.”
The Limousin crossbred heifers in foal last week were happy and in good condition.
Dermot has no predefined area of the farm for silage. It would normally come out with a good level of nitrogen in the spring — 40 units in the good old days — and try to grow as much grass as possible during the peak growing season early in the year and remove excess grass in baled silage.
Last year he reached 76 DMD and 14pc pr with very dry silage at 44pc DM.
Fears of winter fodder shortages
Farmers could face a severe shortage of winter fodder this year, warned Alan Dillon, beef specialist at Teagasc.
Thousands of landowners who package silage to sell are at risk of giving up in 2022 due to the prohibitive cost of inputs, exacerbated by the invasion of Ukraine.
“The silage supply may not be there to buy this year,” Mr Dillon said, predicting the price will climb to over €50 per bale.
“Last year it cost €100-120/acre to fertilize the silage using all the chemicals. Now the cost has more or less doubled.
As a result, he said, many farmers who usually silage and sell their surplus would not be doing so this year.
Mr Dillon said slurry is fast becoming the “saving grace” and indicated that there is a possible saving of around €315/ha to be made on P and K requirements.
Despite the cost of its production, he stressed that silage quality “will be more important than ever” because compensating for the loss in quality with concentrates will be a very expensive option.
“A lot of farmers consider using two bags of cut sod and letting it grow for another three weeks to get some volume,” he said. “The problem is that there will be more bulk, but the quality will go down – and the cost of the ration is skyrocketing.
“Traders say there is still 20 to 30 €/t this month and a further increase of 50 €/t in April.
“So the ration that cost €250-270/t will cost you €450/t and head towards €500/t and we don’t know where it will end.
“Even though it will cost a fortune this year, it is more essential than ever to make better quality silage.
“If you feed cattle, the difference could be 4 to 6 kg of feed per day. Over 100 to 120 days, there could be half a ton of ration in the difference in animal consumption between good and bad silage. This could cost upwards of $200 head difference in the cost of finishing an animal.
“So it’s always worth making good silage by spreading fertilizer early, having adequate nutrients and cutting in May.
“Cut in June and July, the volume is up, but there will be a loss in quality.
“Baleed silage could still save you a lot of money this year, even though it will be much more expensive to manufacture than it has been.
“The goal should be to get winter feed as close to grass feeding quality as possible.
“Allowing the cut to continue into June and July, when it is turned into hay, will cost you an absolute fortune at the other end.
“Trying to have good grass for the summer and top quality silage for the winter will be key.”
Dillon recommends applying at least 80 units of N – two bags of protected urea and 3,000 gallons of slurry/ac to start growth.
Manure value has ‘almost doubled’ since last year
The value of slurry has “nearly doubled” as a replacement for chemical fertilizers since last year, according to Teagasc advisers Michel Daly and Neil Lynch. the pair recommend using slurry as much as possible
Mr Daly informed attendees of the Dermot Costello Farm Open Day that every 1,000 gallons of 3.5pcDM slurry is worth the equivalent of £21 worth of chemical fertilizer, while 7pc DM slurry is worth up to at €37 per 1,000 gal.
The objective should be to have 75 pc of slurry spread by the end of April. And it should be applied in cool, damp, overcast, or even foggy conditions for best results.
A 3000 gal/ac application should provide adequate P and K for first-cut silage, with the potential to save $315/ac in fertilizer costs.
Daly recommended prioritizing slurry for silage soil and noted that a 3,000 gal/ac application in the spring using a trailing shoe application has a 50 higher N value. € to a corresponding application in summer using a splash plate spreader.
Mr Lynch urged farmers to “get as much slurry on the land as possible by the end of April to take advantage of previous growth – while P and K do not change depending on the time of year in the stored slurry, the N changes”.
“With N costing a fortune this year, every unit saved is valuable. The value of slurry has almost doubled compared to last year.
“Using more slurry to replace N is something that can be done to reduce the cost of production.” | agronomy |

Appropriate lawn care is an essential element of grounds maintenance and ensuring your grounds maintenance package includes lawn care is a good idea. Keeping a lush and green lawn in tip-top shape is truly a lot harder than it sounds a straightforward mower may not necessarily be your very best bet. The great thing about grounds maintenance services is as you are able to count on an expert company to take care of your lawn using all the proper equipment. However, before you go ahead and hire a grounds maintenance company, you should have an understanding of what’s involved with proper lawn care. Depending on where you are located, your lawn may grow green and lush with little to no help. However, chalky earth and mossy areas can really affect your lawn and without the correct machinery, you could make things worse by mowing. Click on the below mentioned website, if you’re looking for more information on grounds maintenance gloucester.
Harsh cutters and low settings on a journey on a mower can churn up the ground and create problems for the lawn. If you run a business and have the need for a stylish surrounding for clients and customers, you’ll need to consider the very first impressions you can achieve. It’s unlikely you will be a specialist in lawn care and that’s why it is important to hire a grounds maintenance company in order to get the best from the lawn. It’s not just about mowing either you intend to think about the edging and when you have borders this can be an area which makes the entire world of difference. Messy edges and weeds protruding into your lawn is never a good look and if you depend on first appearances or you only don’t want a messy looking lawn then you definitely should be sure that the business you hire is aware of this part of lawn care most should be! Overall, there are always a lot of items to consider in regards to lawn care.
It’s not really a case of mowing every weekend. Although some people will get away with this specific, many lawns require far more work. The benefits of hiring a grounds maintenance company are incredibly worthwhile and getting a lawn that’s always lush and green is something this type of person happy to do and certainly qualified to do. There isn’t to invest a fortune either. You will find likely to be local companies who will be able to provide you with a great deal for perhaps a couple of hours a week.

At the beginning of the 20th century, an insidious fungus – imported from Asia and destructive to American chestnut trees – began an airborne march across 200 million acres of eastern woodlands. From Maine to Florida, an estimated 4 billion chestnut trees succumbed to the infestation, notoriously known as the chestnut blight. By the 1940s, the towering behemoths were decimated – and an essential component of our ecosystem was eliminated.
The blight followed a much earlier and less-publicized devastation, when a form of root rot that thrived in warmer climates killed many American chestnut trees in the Piedmont region of the Carolinas in the mid-1800s.
The American Chestnut Foundation – in partnership with a variety of scientific institutions that includes Clemson University – has conducted decades-long research aimed at restoring the majestic trees in the wild. Significant gains have been made. But the breeding of American-type chestnuts that are consistently resistant to attacks by blight and root rot is still a work in progress.
Scientists are confident that an ultimate victory in this frustratingly protracted battle will be achieved in the foreseeable future. Traditional methods of plant breeding have been recently joined by high-tech genetic mapping techniques that are aimed at revealing the genes that control traits such as blight and root rot resistance. The chestnut’s genome is immense, containing about 800 million base pairs. Researchers at Clemson are zeroing in on the specific genes – hidden within a morass of others – that will lead to further breakthroughs. | agronomy |

Last year, we picked our first cabernet sauvignon in mid-September. This year would be different. September came and went, and we were getting a bit restless. But with the combination of heavy precipitation earlier in the year, moderate heat throughout the summer, and no prolonged heat spikes to speak of, the grapes were taking their time to ripen.

And then we waited...and waited...and waited for our west side cabernet to arrive. October came and went, yet the fruit seemed nowhere near ready for harvest. Add into the mix some rain and frost warnings, and we were beginning to think that our first foray into westside fruit would not be realized. It took until November 9 to have our final two tons in place. We were excited to process the Halter Ranch Vineyard fruit, which we hoped would bring the more bold tannin structure, roundness, and additional complexity we desire for our cabernet sauvignon program.

If you guessed the tropical rain forest, you’d be wrong. The region with the highest gross primary production (GPP) from photosynthesis is the U.S. corn belt.
That is the finding of a new study (Guanter et al. 2014) published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The team of 20 researchers used satellite-based spectroscopy to monitor sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), an electromagnetic signal emitted as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
Global map of maximum monthly sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) per 0.5° grid box for 2009.
The results of the study really shouldn’t be surprising. The U.S. leads the world in combined private-public R&D spending on agriculture and is the world’s top corn producer and agricultural exporter. Nonetheless — and this too is not surprising — the corn belt GPP reflected in satellite SIF data substantially exceeds the GPP estimated in carbon cycle models. The researchers report:
Our SIF-based crop GPP estimates are 50–75% higher than results from state-of-the-art carbon cycle models over, for example, the US Corn Belt and the Indo-Gangetic Plain, implying that current models severely underestimate the role of management.
Perhaps to appease the political-correctness guardians at PNAS, the study begins with a warning that “past advances” in agriculture are “threatened by climate change,” and the authors say their research is significant because it provides benchmark data for “more reliable projections of climate impact on crop yields.”
Clearly, though, the finding is also significant for another reason. It doesn’t fit into the fear narrative promoted by the recently-released IPCC Working Group II (WG2) report on climate impacts. Current models “severely underestimate the role of management.” That suggests current models underestimate farmers’ ability to adapt to climate change.
According to the WG2 report, 10% of climate model runs project that wheat, rice, and corn yields will decline by more than 25% during 2030-2049 compared to the late-20th century if global temperatures rise by 2ºC or more (p. 17). A scary prospect considering there may be an additional 2 billion mouths to feed by mid-century. In its presser for the report, WG2 calls climate change a threat to global food security.
On the other hand, the WG2 report acknowledges that 10% of model runs project crop yields to increase by more than 10% during 2030-2049. So there’s no ‘consensus’ among models at this point. Besides, with global warming on hold for the past 17 and half years, only a reckless gambler would wager that global temperatures will rise 2ºC or more by mid-century.
Climate blogger Anthony Watts recently posted charts showing that global crop yields continue trending upward. Here’s one constructed by climatologist Roy Spencer using USDA data:
Much current food security angst centers on corn yields. WG2 lead author Chris Field, for example, claims corn yields decline when summer temperatures exceed 84ºF. As previously noted on this blog, in most places where U.S. corn is grown, July daily maximum temperatures often reach 90˚F. Yet U.S. corn yields have increased six-fold since the 1930s.
Just as IPCC climate models project more global warming than has actually occurred, they also over-predict regional warming in the corn belt. Indeed, notes Spencer, there has been no net warming in the corn belt for decades.
Based on conversations with agricultural experts and other information, Spencer reasonably concludes that technology — what Guanter et al. call the “role of management” — currently trumps climate to the point where it is impossible to discern a greenhouse signal in U.S. corn yield trends. He writes:
The IPCC claims there is a negative impact of global warming on corn, but the experts I have talked to say there is no way to get that out of the data. You would have to have accurate quantitative knowledge of the technological trend, which you don’t.
In other words, without an accurate removal of the factors leading to the huge increase in corn yield (which is not possible), you can’t back out of the data any kind of climate-related signal. (If anything, the face-value evidence is that warming leads to higher yields, not lower.)
And without that accurate quantitative knowledge (and no evidence of observed corn belt climate change anyway), they tell me there is little reason to depart from a forecast of slowly increasing corn yields in the coming years. | agronomy |

Tutti Frutti Farms is a family-run business located in Central California. A 5th generation farmer, Chris Cadwell and his family began farming on 14 acres of hillside property in Carpinteria, starting with a variety of fruit trees. After naming the farm “Tutti Frutti” – Italian for ‘all fruits’ – they soon branched out into growing produce for the coastal communities of Southern California. From the start, Tutti Frutti Farms utilized organic growing practices and continue to follow those guidelines today. In fact, all Tutti Frutti produce is CCOF certified.
In 1990, the whole family – 5 children, 3 goats & 1 horse – moved the farm to Santa Rosa Road, a more remote piece of land between Buellton and Lompoc. Over the years, Tutti Frutti farming operations have grown to approximately 300 acres. Growing a variety of certified organic vegetables, from heirloom tomatoes and peppers to cool weather crops like artichokes, peas and greens, businesses and individuals can find Tutti Frutti produce at local farmers’ markets and select nationwide organic specialty distributors.
As one of the few remaining vegetable growers in an area better known for its pinot noir grapes, Tutti Frutti attributes its success to its unique location.
Located on the Santa Ynez River, far from polluting highways, the farm is surrounded by wilderness, guaranteeing a wealth of natural predatory insects. Fifteen miles inland from the Pacific coast, a coastal breeze minimizes mildew while evening fog slows the ripening process, a truly natural flavor enhancer! Through religious planting of cover crops like vetch and clover, Tutti Frutti is able to keep the soil healthy and mineral rich. The natural rhythms of the unique micro climate offer additional defense against pests and plant disease.
From our farm to your table, enjoy! | agronomy |

Sometimes the characters will invade their dreams. For the past few days, Isaac has joined me in the Kansas summer heat as I dig goat head stickers!
From 1878 when Isaac arrived on the Kansas plains to claim his homestead until 1886 Isaac was without a horse. His journal is filled with references to his ongoing battle with sun flowers and sand burrs, and most of the time his only weapon was a hoe. To get the benefit of better tools, he had to trade his own labor to borrow a neighbor's horse and plow. In August of 1885 he wrote, "...up to Stimatze about getting final 1 horse plowing in 6 acre timber's [timber claim's] sandburrs in exchange for work." Apparently Isaac was not able to barter his labor with Stimatze, for the next day he wrote, "...about done with tall sun flowers and sand burrs...(each tree is hoed).
The challenge for me is digging the entire plant and carefully lifting it into the trash can without knocking any of the stickers off to hide in the dirt and repopulate the area I just dug. When the trash can is filled, I take the contents to be safely burned. Otherwise, the plants will dry up but the tough sticker seeds will drop off and germinate wherever they were dumped.
It's hot, dry and windy in Kansas right now, so I was outside this morning before sunrise, an empty trash can beside me and a garden fork in my hands. The birds were serenading me, and the flies were biting as if I were the morning smorgasbord. Sandy loam soil can look like a child's sand box, but in dry weather it can also take on the hardness of plaster of Paris, so the previous evening my husband had watered the area where I planned to dig, and it was just right for jabbing the garden fork underneath the central portion of the plant and lifting the root section.
The objective is to reach down below the stems to the actual root and pull the entire plant out of the soil, leaving nothing left to regrow. Sometimes I find an old mother plant, nothing much left of her but the dry skeleton of her branches radiating like spokes of a wheel in a 3' or 4' span. Her dry carcass must still be dug and lifted with special care to avoid dropping the dried seeds clinging to the stems. My spiteful pleasure comes in digging all of her progeny clustered around the span of her reach, destroying everything she spent her life creating. The truth remains that dig as I will, I know that the soil contains more seeds waiting to germinate as soon as my back is turned.
The plants are actually rather pretty, with delicate, almost fern-like leaves and tiny yellow flowers. The circular pattern of the stems is highlighted with a peachy-orange color, the plant spreading discretely close to the ground where the mower blade will pass over without harm. Trying to rid yourself of them by plowing, as Isaac seems to have done, only turns the seeds into the soil, unless the plowing is done before the seeds set.
As the sun climbs on the horizon and the temperature rises, I am glad to take Isaac with me to my computer as I write this post. Tomorrow morning I will be back outside doing battle with the goat head stickers, and for many mornings to come, I fear. I know I can defeat them, for our lawn is finally free of them--although I must be vigilant for those that we have planted by tracking the stickers into the grass on the bottoms of our shoes. The work I am facing now is the result of my own negligence for having ignored that area of the farmyard the past two years while I researched and wrote about Isaac. It's only fair that I take him with me outside every morning to face the digging and bending and pricks of my fingers and sweat and bites of the flies. The monotony of the chore is abated by Isaac's company as I reflect on his life on the prairie and all the work he too did by hand. He used a hoe for his digging, but I think he would have had better success with a garden fork! | agronomy |

In a study published in August, 2013, Emily Cassidy and her team of researchers showed that the sole act of cutting meat consumption across the world would feed 10 billion people. That change may be too drastic to implement on global level, but even small dietary changes, such as choosing chicken and pork over beef, as well as reducing diary from our diet, would contribute towards the goal of feeding more people from all around the world. Crops have the potential to feed about 11 billion people, which is 4 billion above the current population on Earth. As the team of researchers from the University of Minnesota concluded, the problem with hunger would be solved if people exclusively directed production to food instead of using crops for biofuels and feed for animals. Due to the growing consumption of meat and the growth of the population, the demand for crops is expected to be doubled by 2050. Cassidy and her team found that only 55% of the calories from crops worldwide were a direct source of food for people. With the sole change of the way these crops are used, the agriculture on a global level could provide enough food for additional 4 billion people.
This study should make us all think: where does our food come from? Are we wasting the potential of agriculture to feed the world by opting for fast food and satisfying meat dishes? My first thought after reading the results from that study was: "I have to stop eating meat. First of all, it comes from animals, which have to suffer for my tasty meal. However, it also comes from the suffering of people, who are experiencing hunger just because the rest of the population wants to eat meat." This is how much a single quarter-pound hamburger costs: 6.7 pounds of grains and forage, over 50 gallons of water for the animals and feed crops, over 70 feet of land, and over 1,000 BTUs for feed production and transport. The total consumption of meat in the USA is 270.7 pounds per person a year. When we think about the way our meat-eating culture is affecting the entire environment, the calculations are devastating.
Unfortunately, the solution is much more complex than it initially seems. The fact that I am concerned about animals, but I still eat meat from time to time makes my vegan friends ready to criticize me whenever we start a conversation on food. However, there are few issues that add complexity to the issue: are people really 'designed' to be vegetarians? Can you tell an Eskimo that he's not supposed to eat meat? Without hunted meats, which are keeping their bodies warm and strong, Inuit people would not survive in their harsh surrounding. The fact that I have Vitamin B12 deficiency, which gets worse when I exclude meat from my diet, makes me doubt the claims that the vegan diet is the most suitable choice for everyone.
Cereals, without a doubt, are one of the most important sources of food for humans. They contain all five important nutrients: water, proteins, minerals, carbohydrates, and fats. Meat, on the other hand, is an important source of protein, B vitamins, zinc, magnesium, and iron - all these nutrients are also necessary for proper development of people, and they are especially important during childhood. Associate Professor Felice Jacka, from Deakin's School of Medicine, found that women consuming less than the recommended amount of red meat were twice as likely to experience anxiety or depressive disorders as those women who consumed enough meat. Unlike in other parts of the world, where the cattle are fed grains and kept in feedlots, the cattle and sheep in Australia are grass-fed. When we choose to put meat on our table and we want a healthy option, we have to know where it's coming from.
In February 2016, the British Journal of Nutrition published evidence that showed how organic production increased key nutrients in food. According to this research, organic meat and dairy products contain 50% more omega-3 fatty acids when compared to the usual, cheap meat we choose to eat. The difference in organic meat and dairy results from the way the animals are fed: organic meat comes from animals foraging on graces, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
When I compared the results from several studies, which are often contradictory to one another, I was more confused than ever. "Should I continue eating meat? Should I always opt for organic meat, dairy, fruits, and vegetables? How will my food choices affect my budget? How will they affect the environment?" Organic food, lactose intolerance, gluten allergies healthy food has become the mantra of our time. People are obsessed with healthy food to dramatic extents: the term orthorexia nervosa is not recognized as a clinical diagnosis, but it's no secret that the obsession with healthy food has led many people into an eating disorder.
When people are too concerned with the nutritional value and origin of their food, they usually end up with malnutrition. A person who suffers from orthorexia makes sure to avoid potentially harmful foods, and always opts for pure, healthy foods. This system of values imposes a rigid lifestyle, so people always have to think about the meals they will eat, instead of spontaneously choosing food in response to the hunger their body signals. The media and healthy food industry support this lifestyle, capitalizing on the growing fear among people, who are ready to accept any advice that helps them improve their health, appearance, and self-perception. In consequence, people who are obsessed with healthy food lose contact with themselves, despite the external image of socially successful individuals.
How concerned am I about the origin of the food I eat? I started eating less meat and more organic fruits and vegetables, although those choices started affecting my budget. However, I am not ready to go fully raw and join the vegetarian/vegan movements that are supposed to save the world. I do my best to eat the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables. That was the most important step I took when I decided to change my diet. Nevertheless, I haven't excluded meat, sugar, gluten, and other types of food considered to be unhealthy. I believe that humans have natural instincts. Our bodies give signs that we have to learn how to listen. If we overthink our food choices, we distance ourselves from the needs of our body and we try to train it differently. Although I am trying to be conscious about what I eat and where the food comes from, I would rather make an exception and eat a hamburger than to allow myself to turn food into an obsession.

Each morning when I get to the land I check the soil and it is only one to two inches wet. So I had to get the hose out of the truck all three hundred and fifty foot of it and haul it to the plants. It does not reach to the bottom of the garden so Marlene and I full up large buckets and take water to the plants at the back. This is very hard work as the ground is very uneven. It is still early in the morning but we are sweating gallons of our own water. Today after watering, we weeded around some of the plants. With the light rain and hot sun it is the perfect condition for these weeds. The weeds are just as high as most of the trees that we planted. I need a few more hands to keep the weeds under control as they are taking over. I am making a list and map of the names of the plants we now have. We have planted fifty different kinds of fruit trees. When the house is finished we will start on the vegetable and herb garden, which I will be putting close to the back of the house. We will have to do lots of landscaping to the front of the house before I can put in my flower garden. The work continues, I am happy and cannot wait to move into the house. Many Blessings

The good: Willie Nelson will bring Farm Aid to St. Louis. The expected – tickets can only be purchased through LiveNation – the now uncontested ruler of all things live performance in the universe.
That said, this looks to be an amazing event and for one of the most important causes of our time – something even more relevant now than when it was first created. Here are the details:
ST. LOUIS—Farm Aid, alongside farmers and food buyers at the Historic Soulard Farmer’s Market, announced today that it will bring its annual benefit concert to St. Louis, marking the first time that the organization will stage the event in Missouri.
“Farm Aid has deep roots in the Midwest that reach back to our first concert in Illinois in 1985,” said Farm Aid president Willie Nelson. “I’m looking forward to bringing my friends together on the Farm Aid stage to celebrate family farmers and the crucial work they do. Farmers do so much more than bring us the good food we all want to eat. America needs family farmers to revitalize our economy and make our country healthy.”
Farm Aid 2009 Presented by Horizon Organic will feature Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews on Sunday, October 4 at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Maryland Heights, Mo., plus other top artists to be announced. The concert event will celebrate music, family farmers and good food, and will again feature HOMEGROWN concessions—family-farm identified, local and organic foods. Farm Aid’s HOMEGROWN Village will showcase hands-on activities that give concertgoers a chance to meet farmers, get their hands dirty, and learn how family farmers are enriching our soil, protecting our water, and connecting us to our roots.
“Family farmers are innovative entrepreneurs who safeguard our food, environment and health,” said Carolyn Mugar, executive director of Farm Aid. “Since the beginning, Farm Aid has worked with family farmers in the Midwest to keep them on the land, especially in the face of factory farms that have threatened to take over food production. At Farm Aid, concertgoers will reap the benefits of this work and will experience food grown by Missouri’s family farms.” | agronomy |

Funder: MI Department, Govt. of Karnataka
Describe your image
To provide relief to the continuous droughts that have occurred in the Kolar and Chickballapur districts (Semi-arid Deccan area) for the last ten years, the Govt. of Karnataka evolved a scheme to fill up the village tanks (locally known as “Kere”) of these two districts with secondary treated water from several STPs situated in Bangalore. This effort commenced in 2018. It was meant to function as an indirect recharge of groundwater, and all villages have been cautioned not to use this water directly. Needless to say, all villages here were provided with protected drinking water systems earlier. This approach has now become a huge success, and today, close to 500 MLD of treated water from Bangalore STPs is being filled into these tanks, out of which 380 MLD is being pumped under the KC valley project. The treated water generally meets the new NGT standards of 50/10/10/1 water quality (COD, BOD/TN/PO4-P as mg/L). This being a Yeoman and a Pioneer effort in India and across the World, this was being monitored closely and observed by all. The IISc (CST Centre) was asked to monitor the overall outcomes in terms of water quality (environmental) being transferred and its safety to agricultural operations, the nature of the change in agricultural practices, the potential implications of such an endeavour (loosely paraphrased as ‘Environmental Impact Assessment’, or EIA) that addresses the present and the future of such an endeavour. The current environmental impact analysis goes beyond the mere reconstruction of environmental problems, and the emerging outcomes of this ongoing analysis are as follows
Kharland Reclamation Project
Funder: MI Department, GOVT. OF KARNATAKA
Describe your image
This project aimed to reclaim around 21,000-acre fertile land for agricultural activity. Under the project, 73 kms of kharland bunds were constructed earlier to prevent submersion of agricultural land by sea water. The floodwater was allowed to flow through the cross drainage works towards creek/sub creek without disturbing the natural course of flow. The existing bunds have been eroded and their height is not sufficient to stop the ingression of water into the agricultural fields (Fig 1). Hence repair and raising height of the saline embankment will provide the agricultural land a chance to return back to fertility by providing the flow of creek water into the fields. The total Kharland area to be reclaimed will be Karwar 7,426, Kumta 7,696, and Bhatkal 5,273 acres). The project is to strengthen and upgrade (raise the height) of already constructed Kharland Bunds to rivers of Uttara Kannada District to restrict tidal waters to enter the agricultural lands. | agronomy |

Participating schools and local organizations have each received a kit providing a garden tower, lights, aprons, garden gloves, heat mats, seeds, a watering can, fertilizer, mini shovels and spades, and everything they need to grow food in their classrooms all year long.
Vegetable gardening can be a satisfying and rewarding activity with just a little direction, some good advice and inspiration. Gardening is a unique way for children and youth to build a relationship with their food and develop life skills such as problem solving, coping skills, and resilience. Teachers have integrated the garden tower into various subjects such as science, math, and art.
This engaging program connects youth and educators in growing healthy, nutritious food and promotes the development of a better understanding of how and where the food we share, and eat is grown and produced. The garden towers in the classroom inspire conversation and learning about nutrition, food sustainability and food security. Students are encouraged to take on a leadership role by being given the responsibility to care for and maintain the garden towers, vermicompost and plants.
Excerpts from a blog by several students:
Today on this lovely Monday afternoon we Dirt Dudes watered the plants, took the temperature (22 degrees), and we made sure the top soil was wet and moist and not bone dry. this was all we did on this uneventful Monday.
December 4, 2017
Today we checked the worms temperature and it was at 25 degrees Celsius. We need it in between 12 and 24 degrees. if it exceeds 27 degrees we need to take the worms out and cool it down. we watered and most of the plants growing excellent.
Today, we didn’t do a whole lot but we did water the plants quite a bit. A few problems is we found multiple plants dead and we also found mold on the top soil of the garden tower. The main source of the problem we have discovered is that the plants and soil is being over watered. This is definitely something we should discuss when feeding the worms on Friday!
November 20, 2017
First part, we started out by building the garden tower. The day after we added in the dirt, but we messed up the central column, so we had to take out all of the dirt and fix it. we put the dirt back in, but the central column got messed up another time, so we had take out the dirt again, we had to repeat this one more time. Finally, we got it kind of perfect because we decided we couldn’t get it any better, so we just kept it that way. we set up the lights for the peat coins so that we could start the growing the plants. now we get closer to today, we transferred the plants to the garden tower and the swiss chard is growing better then kale. | agronomy |

CHICAGO--The makers of the first corn genetically modified to be tolerant of drought said they are confident it will prove its value to farmers despite an environmental group's charge that it provides only modest yield gains.
The drought-tolerant corn, a collaboration between BASF SE (BAS.XE, BASFY) and Monsanto Co. (MON), is being marketed under the DroughtGard brand and is scheduled for widespread introduction in 2013.
It is being tested by 250 farmers this year, and the results will take precedent over the Union of Concerned Scientists' report that was released Tuesday, said Peter Eckes, president of BASF's plant science division.
"Farmers will trust what they see," Eckes said in an interview.
The Union of Concerned Scientists, a frequent critic of genetically modified crops, said the biotech industry has "made little real-world progress" on reducing yield losses from drought.
"Despite many years of research and millions of dollars in development costs, DroughtGard doesn't outperform the non-engineered alternatives," Doug Gurian-Sherman, a senior scientist with the group and author of the report, said in a statement Tuesday.
The group's report suggests that broader efforts to develop genetically modified drought-tolerant traits have slowed and it advocates more public funding for conventional breeding programs. It said DroughtGard, based on limited data, has performed only slightly better than conventionally bred drought-tolerant seeds.
DuPont Co.'s (DD) seed subsidiary, Pioneer Hi-Bred, is already selling a conventionally bred drought-tolerant corn, targeted for parts of the western U.S. Plains, such as Kansas, that are typically drier than the heart of the corn belt further east.
The challenge in creating a genetically modified drought-tolerant seed, the Union of Concerned Scientists said, is that it "requires the interaction of many genes," while genetic engineering can only alter a few genes at a time.
Seed company executives have said drought-tolerant seeds aren't intended to allow farmers to grow corn in the desert, or in the midst of the type of severe drought that plagued the southern U.S. Plains last year.
Eckes said criticism of DroughtGard is based on a "misunderstanding of what the product concept is." The product provides insurance to farmers against yield loss in the event of moderate drought, he said.
BASF, the world's largest chemical company, develops genetically modified crop traits, which it licenses to other companies, such as Monsanto. The German company has a broader collaboration with Monsanto to develop drought-tolerant crops.

First the students visited the Hof Naar farm near ICS and learned about their philosophy and how they look after the animals they rescue.
Then the students spent a weekend clearing a field that could be used to grow crops to aid the self-sufficiency of the farm. Having produce to sell puts money back into the farm and supports the rescued goats, chickens, horses, ducks and pigs that would otherwise have gone to slaughter.
The third stage of this project is to raise money for a duck pond that we hope to build with the help of some ICS Science teachers. The students learned that ducks must have water deep enough to wash their heads as this helps prevent infection.
The students have begun fundraising and will continue to do so by catering at a number of other school events. An extra skill they are gaining from this project is learning how to bake, using many ingredients from the farm.
Every year, students in Grade 9 are offered the chance of a Service & Personal Development trip. For the last few years, students have gone to Tanzania (see pictures below) to volunteer at two schools, meet local tribespeople to learn about their way of life, and see some of the country.
In March 2015 the trip went to Nepal: ICS students volunteered at the Shree Mangal Dvip School, which gives children from remote Himalayan villages an education they would not otherwise receive. They helped teach English and worked to turn an area of overgrown land into a vegetable garden where the school can grow maize and beans. Then they explored some of the countryside on a trek.
Before they go on these trips, our students learn some of the local language and run activities to raise funds to benefit the schools they visit. | agronomy |

Rye grows on sandy and lighter soils, as well as in moist and cooler regions. The stalks grow to about 65 to 200 centimeters long. The stem and leaves have a silvery green color.
The rye belongs to the family of sweet grasses. In Europe, it is mainly used as animal feed. Processed rye is found in various products such as flour, in the form of flakes, meal and semolina or even in alcohol. Rye allergens belong to the group of cereal pollens and are therefore one of the most important allergens.
Pollen season and harvesting time
During it´s pollen season, rye bears slightly overhanging ears. The pollen season is between May and July. Rye is usually harvested from the end of July to mid-August.
Rye pollen is closely related to grain and grass pollen. It is therefore not uncommon for allergy sufferers to be allergic to these pollens as well. | agronomy |

Fresh Local Grass-Finished Beef Available Now
Local Dexter Breed Beef from Wakarusa Ridge Ranch
Here at the Merc Meat & Seafood Department we are proud and honored to offer the Irish Dexter breed of beef, raised by Patti and Clay Adams on the Wakarusa Ridge Ranch near Overbrook, Kansas. Wakarusa Ridge Ranch is the perfect grounds to raise these Irish cattle. Overlooking the Clinton Lake water shed, the land is rolling and diverse with slightly rocky slopes and green grazing fields. Their pastures are well kept and rotated to optimize efficient grazing and environmental protection. Native prairie grasses line the creek bed and outline the grazing fields to help ensure that the land retains its fertile soil and that the water stays clean and clear. Looking out across the pasture new calves and happy cows graze lazily on the sweet grasses as new fields grow in conversion from crop to pasture.
Having had the pleasure of touring the Wakarusa Ridge Ranch numerous times, our Meat & Seafood staff has been lucky enough to enjoy the layout of the ranch and the gentle nature of the Dexter breed of cattle. Patti and Clay, owners of Wakarusa Ridge Ranch, have raised these cattle since day one and know each of them by name as well as the names of the sires and dams, fathers and mothers. Each cow has been bred, raised and taken care of for reasons more than just being beef. Each cow has been bred and raised for a specific purpose such as to strengthen weaknesses, maintain quality and produce certain characteristics known to its breed. This love of animal husbandry shows in the cattle themselves. They all seem very happy to see Clay, Patti and visitors when they show up on the fence line or in the field. They nonchalantly come over to say hi and they don’t mind being rubbed down a bit. As we all stood in the pasture simply hanging out with the Dexter and Kerry cattle, it was like a family reunion discussing each one's achievements and offspring, it was very clear how symbiotic the relationship between land, cattle and farmer really is.
Every aspect of these Dexter cattle’s life has been geared to ensure optimum health and the best living conditions. The cattle are all-natural, grass-fed and grass-finished. They are rotated on lush pasture lands during the spring, summer and fall months to reap the healthful benefits of the grass growing seasons. In order to obtain the maximum health benefits of grass-finished beef, the cattle must graze on fresh growing pasture for at least 90 days before processing. The optimum start time for fresh growing cool season grasses, such as brome, start in March and grow strong through May which produces healthy steers for processing in June. Warm season grasses, such as fescue prairie grass, start growing again in May and provide green growing grasses through the summer which produces high quality steers that can be harvested in July, August, and September. The cool season grasses resume growth in the late fall and extend our grass-finished beef harvest through November. The cattle are then fed baled hay throughout the winter months where every once in a while they may receive a little treat of alfalfa pellets, pressed alfalfa grass, to sweeten the visits of Clay and Patti.
When the time comes for us to appreciate and respect the cattle’s life, they are taken to a small family-owned processing house in nearby Overbrook where they are treated and handled very caringly. A few of our meat department staff have shared in the experience of delivering the Dexter breed to the processors. Their gift to us was recognized by man and cow as we took comfort in the light of love and respect which had started from day one and all the way through from the farmers hands to ours and from us to your family to enjoy a true gift from both the Wakarusa Ridge Farm and the Dexter cattle. We currently have fresh Dexter breed beef cuts for sale. Since our beef is always fresh there is a limited time to enjoy this extraordinary gift. Look for the Wakarusa Ridge Ranch label or ask any meat employee for additional assistance. | agronomy |

To increase food production, modern farming has been a key sector for the government plan. In order to improve crop production, the quality of soil is vital. This is because farmers should grow the right crop in the correct soil PH. Soil testing by different organizations makes it easier to boost the overall production though adding the right manure needed to balance the soil PH. Here are some of the ways soil testing has enhanced small-scale farming in Kenya.
Growing Right Crops in Best Soil PH
A number of farmers haven’t been able to yield the highest from their farms simply because they don’t grow the right crops. Every soil has a given PH, which implies that it can only support certain crops. For example, potatoes do better in acid soil with a PH of 4.8 to 5.5. This implies that when you grow potatoes on a PH level of 2.0 to 3.0, you will definitely yield low outputs. Through soil testing, you will easily balance the PH to get the ideal condition that will suit the potatoes for a high yield.
Ability to Add the Right Amount of Fertilizer to the Farm
When you wish to grow any crop, the addition of fertilizer is essential for fast and healthy growth. However, due to the inability to detect the soil PH, most farmers end up adding more or less fertilizer than required. Through this, you don’t expect the crops to yield much. Through the aid of soil testing, it becomes easier to test the soil PH, which makes it elementary to know how much fertilizer is needed for the crops. The end result of this is higher production. Most farmers have been able to boost their production by about 50% through the addition of the correct fertilizer.
Better Knowledge about Crop Rotation
For the best yields, crop rotation has been identified as a better method for all farmers. A number of small-scale farmers don’t practice crop rotation; hence end up growing the same crop for years on the same farm. Through this, the overall yield of the farm will begin declining. According to a report by The Star Newspaper, soil testing aids farmers to know the crops to grow every season, which is essential for maintaining the fertility of the soil over the years. With this, you will cut the cost of buying fertilizers every season.
These are some of the reasons farmers need to carry out soil testing. Since most small-scale farmers have no idea how to test the soil, it is important to find the ideal soil testing firm.
There are different ways of testing the soil like through the use of scanners. The scanner equipment utilizes infrared and X-ray technology. It is a quick way of testing the soil and results are provided in about ten minutes. Alternatively, farmers can use mobile laboratories and stationery soil testing techniques. After finding the soil PH of your farm, it is easier to grow the required crop and even add an adequate amount of fertilizer to the farm; hence the small-scale farmers are advised to practice soil testing.

5/15/2013 By: Jason "Pepe"
Just a few different trees we grow on our property.
The Soursop tree is a very easy tree to grow in warm climates
In this article the names Soursop, Guanabana, Graviola will be used and that's because they are all common names for the tree.
The biggest challenge in most cases is maintaining your trees warmth and humidity. I kid you not graviola trees will catch a cold and sneeze if you just open the refrigerator door in front of them. Well of course that is almost an exaggeration on my part.
Almost is the key word because again they don't like it cold.
Would you believe me if I told you that everyday I get calls from people in Northern Florida that want to grow Soursop trees. As a matter of fact people call me for trees of all kinds from all over the world. Here at Bestsoursoptrees.com we can thank the power of the internet for all the attention we get. Oh by the way we just love the calls so keep them coming! And of course we propagate the absolute best soursop trees known to humankind. Really we do! People just won't keep a secret and we hope you will also spread the word.
Okay let's cover some basics in growing your Guanabana tree. Most soursop/guanabana trees are grown from seeds.That is not always the best way when it comes to propagating fruit trees in general. Soursop trees on the other hand are mostly grown from seed and produce fruit usually as good or better than the parent in many cases. Soursop trees have flowers that are hermaphrodites. The term hermaphrodite refers to a flower that has both male and female sex organs.
A hermaphrodite flower is also called a perfect flower. Many people will often argue that a hermaphrodite flower is not a perfect flower because a perfect flower is a hermaphrodite that is self pollinating without the intervention of an insect, wind or possibly by hand pollination. To me a perfect flower is a hermaphrodite that has both male and female organs required to produce fruit. Wind pollination alone does not allow us to differentiate them or break them into another classification such as a perfect flower. Okay let's leave this terminology alone and I am sure some professor will ultimately either correct me or maybe if I'm lucky agree with me.
Grafting soursop is not commonly practiced but seems to be making a comeback. We now have several grafted trees but they won't be available for sale for many years. Grafting assures you that you get the same fruit with all the characteristics of the parent. Grafted trees produce much quicker but since soursop seeds grow faster it's often better to just purchase a seed grown tree.
Your tree will grow best when grown in well-drained sandy to sandy loam type soils. The important thing to remember is that the soil drains well and the trees roots get a shower and not ever end up in a bathtub. Soursops do not like wet feet! Soursop trees will tolerate a wide range of soil types including well drained loamy clay soils. Soursop trees grow within a pH range of 5 - 6.5.
Trees also produce more abundant harvests when temperatures are near 78 degrees fahrenheit and relative humidity is near 70% - 80%. when both of these conditions are met, soursop flowers are more receptive to pollen and produce larger better shaped fruit with higher yields. The ideal fruit is heart shaped and most odd shaped fruits are the result of incomplete pollination. Don't be afraid to enjoy a nice odd shaped fruit, they can still be quite delicious.
Here in Florida we like to plant trees in full sun with some wind protection. Because the trees have shallow root systems we often plant about seven feet away from a house or other structure. A wall helps to radiate some heat back to the soursop tree in the cooler months. Soursop trees also tolerate and will produce fruit in part shade. The trees also require a period of dry weather. In Florida this is during our winter months. The dry period stresses the trees just enough to stimulate flowering.
Now let's talk about the taste of soursop fruit. Soursop varies in acidity and some trees produce very sweet fruit and others tend to be less sweet and often referred to as having a sub acid flavor.
The majority of our seedling trees lean towards the sweeter side of the scale. Our sweetest soursop tree grows in Lake Worth Florida and it can get cold in that area so we protect the trees in winter with blankets, irrigation, propane heaters, whatever is appropriate for the weather conditions.
So let's say your soursop got a little chill and dropped all of it's leaves? Holy crap now what? Relax say a prayer, light a candle and take action!
Here is your strategy:
First realize that you have a tree in winter with no leaves. Floridians south of Lake Okeechobee you might be able to save your tree. Anybody else good luck. I am feeling your anxiety and your pain. So is the tree, why oh why did you do this to me screams the tree!
Now it's time to get out a penny and send it to me via Paypal. Just kidding!!
Take the penny and gently scrape the bark of your tree at the upper most part you can reach safely. Is it green below the bark. Oh lord we hope so. Now you keep scraping different areas until you find green under the bark. Green is good, brown is bad. Now that you have done this test and found some green at some point STOP!
You now have a leafless tree that can't breathe (Transpire)* so don't drown it with the garden hose six times a day trying to bring it back to life. Don't grab a bag of fertilizer and dump it also hoping that will save your tree. Sacrificing a rooster under the moonlight won't do the trick either. I tried it trust me it won't work. Just kidding of course!
Here is what you do. Do nothing more than water lightly once per week until you see new leaves return. Now if another cold snap hits your area again, it usually means bye bye soursop tree. In some cases they do regrow from the roots but it all depends on how cold it got and how wet the soil was. Root rot can kill them quickly when wet and cold. So protect the tree from the cold and take action if severe cold injury occurs to your tree.
Well that concludes this article on soursop tree care. Hope you stop by and visit us one day in sunny warm beautiful South Florida.
We could use some more folks down here. Houses are cheap, the weather is great and you can grow all sorts of fruit trees. Promise me you will at least give it some thought. LOL.
Peace my friends,
*Transpiration: The evaporation of water from plants.
When the surface of the tree is greatly diminished by the loss of its leaves, transpiration and the flow of the sap is proportionately diminished. | agronomy |

A conviction that has proven justified.
Dalla Valle Vineyards keep fruit production tightly controlled with soils that are naturally low yielding, composed primarily of fractured volcanic rock. Rootstocks have been carefully chosen for compatibility with the estate’s terroir. The vines enjoy optimal exposure to sunlight (in excess of 1 hour more than vines on the valley floor). The combination of these elements enables Dalla Valle to produce fruit of unique quality in very limited quantities, and consequently, highly sought-after wines.
Blended mainly from the fruit of the estate’s young vines, Collina, which means “hill” in Italian, is intended to be enjoyed upon release—although, like all Dalla Valle wines, it will continue to evolve for a decade or longer.
Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
In its youth, the wine is showing notes of mocha, cassis, black cherry, clay, and smoke. On the palate the fruit and spices are very generous, even at this stage, and these flavors crescendo on the finish, with ample acidity helping lengthen the impression. It is a classic vintage. | agronomy |

April showers bring May flowers, or at least that’s what those who run Waddell Elementary School’s Roots and Shoots program are hoping.
Roots and Shoots is based in a garden behind Waddell that more than 300 students and 40 volunteers care for. Director Molly Brown, a volunteer, said planting was supposed to begin two weeks ago, but it’s been delayed because of recent snowstorms.
“The kids love getting out here and hopefully we’ll start next week,” said Brown.
Brown says one of the many goals of the 25-year-old program is to teach the children where their food comes from.
“It’s amazing to me that these kids don’t know that carrots grow under the ground,” said Brown. “Some of them think the potatoes they get at Kroger grow in the basement.”
Brown has set up a separate section of the garden for each of the six grades at the elementary school. The students all grow something edible.
“The fourth graders have the colonial herb garden,” said Brown. “So they get to see how important herbs were in colonial days and now.”
Brown said she and her volunteers are very careful about what they allow students to taste, but emphasized that the students are the ones who do the growing.
“It really starts when they see that first seed sprout,” said Brown. “They think, ‘I’m going to take care of that plant, because I planted it.”
Brown has sectioned off a portion of the garden for each grade. Second graders manage an alphabet garden, where students plant a different flower for every letter of the alphabet.
Roots and Shoots relies on community volunteers (the roots) to help with the education of the students (the shoots). Volunteers range from age 20 to 83, but they all have one thing in common.
“We’re here because we love kids and we love gardening,” said Heather Marion, a 12-year veteran of the program.
Brown has tailored the garden and its lessons to help students with Virginia’s Standards of Learning tests. These are the standardized tests that all Virginia public schools must have their students take.
“The second graders have to learn about plant growth, so what better way than to get out and grow something,” said Brown.
Brown’s garden has won national recognition from the American Horticultural Society. Brown even sells manuals and lesson plans to schools all over the nation looking to start their own gardens.
“You know Michelle Obama has one at the White House,” Brown added with a smile.
Brown is always improving her program, even after 25 years. The reason? Brown says she’s providing a service, not only to the kids, but to her volunteers too.
“It’s hard to be connected to [kids] when you’re older,” said Brown. “Unless you have grandchildren, you don’t have that opportunity and that’s what I want people to have.” | agronomy |

Mom loves how velvety these look and they have always been one her favorite plants.
Now Mom actually grew these from seed and they were just those seeds you can pick up in the dollar store for 5 packets for a dollar and she was kind of surprised they actually even grew :).
She just put a whole packet in a pot and apart from water she hasn't done anything else to them - no fancy potting soil or fertilizer, just water and sunshine.
You can see how big the leaves are against Mom hand. The deep red one is by far the biggest but even the other colors are still a good size. Mom is going to let them 'run to seed' to see if she can grow some more next year and will be happy to share them if anyone wants to try growing them. | agronomy |

Pollinator Week 2020, an international celebration in recognition of pollinators’ important role in agriculture and healthy ecosystems, is being celebrated June 22-28.
And while the bees, butterflies, bugs, bats and hummingbirds on the University of Pittsburgh campus don’t know it, this year they’re pollinating Pennsylvania’s newest Bee Campus USA.
The University’s Pittsburgh campus has earned this certification through the nonprofit Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. In response to significant declines in native pollinator populations worldwide, Xerces’ Bee Campus USA program endorses a set of commitments for creating sustainable on-campus habitats for these small creatures whose work is so vital to feeding the planet.
In part, Bee Campus affiliates commit to educating their communities on pollinator conservation and to supporting pollinators by establishing native-plant habitats, providing nesting sites and reducing pesticide use.
“The Landscape and Ecology portion of the Pitt Sustainability Plan commits us to cultivating sustainable landscapes that increase biodiversity and enrich all ecosystem services, which are vital to environmental and human health,” said Aurora Sharrard, the University’s director of sustainability.
“Achieving our first Bee Campus USA designation celebrates Pitt’s many years of contributions to sustainable landscapes, while raising awareness about the imperative role pollinators play in sustaining our food and ecosystems.”
Pitt is among 103 Bee Campus USA affiliates nationwide and only the fifth in Pennsylvania.
“We’re joining an elite group of colleges and universities throughout the United States that are committed to saving pollinators in this national movement, said Andy Moran, Pitt’s senior manager of grounds, who began investigating the application process after learning about the program at a national conference several years ago.
Moran heads Pitt’s Pollinator Habitat Advisory Committee, a subcommittee of the Chancellor’s Advisory Council on Sustainability that includes faculty, staff, students and administrators. The advisory group led the Bee Campus USA application process and coordinates Pitt’s ongoing support for healthy pollinator populations on campus.
Efforts already underway include the student-led Bee Friendly Pitt project that placed seven bee houses around campus to shelter solitary bees; the existence of four student-designed pollinator gardens; and the University’s practice of prioritizing native varieties of perennials, shrubs and trees in campus plantings. All helped fast-track Pitt’s approval as a Bee Campus USA.
Brandon Brewster, a sustainability intern in Facilities Management, saw the University’s application through to completion.
“The thing that excites me most about the Bee Campus USA designation is that it adds to the longstanding support for sustainable efforts on campus. This designation will foster the awareness and backing for future sustainable projects,” said Brewster, a rising junior majoring in environmental sciences.
“Not only is this good news for the native pollinator species in and around our campus, but it means that every day we are working to make the University a healthier and more sustainable place to learn and thrive.
“I’m looking forward to continuing to expand our pollinator spaces on campus as well as to reach out to the surrounding community to encourage others to achieve similar goals,” Brewster said.
Said Moran, “The decline of pollinators is a national issue that the University is committed to helping to solve.
"The University’s efforts are particularly impactful in an urban environment," said Moran.
“Especially in cities, the use of pesticides and removal of trees and green spaces has destroyed habitats and harmed pollinator populations. We need to bring them back, because so much of our food production relies on pollination.
“We’ve planted thousands of pollinator-friendly plants across the entire campus and we’ve had good success using the native perennials, trees and shrubs. Reintroducing these to the city landscape is helping to remake our own natural native plant ecosystems. And naturally, that’s good for pollinators,” he said.
“Pitt’s campus is a 145-acre island in the city where pollinators can thrive. They stop here, but we’re a neighbor to thousands.
“Doing our part for pollinators helps the community for miles around,” Moran said. | agronomy |

Based on the bestselling book by Jonathan Safran Foer and narrated by co-producer Natalie Portman, Eating Animals is an eye-opening look at the environmental, economic, and public health consequences of factory farming. Tracing the history of food production in the United States, the film charts how farming has gone from local and sustainable to a corporate Frankenstein monster that offers cheap eggs, meat, and dairy at a steep cost: the exploitation of animals; the risky use of antibiotics and hormones; and the pollution of our air, soil, and water. Spotlighting farmers who have pushed backed against industrial agriculture with more humane practices, Eating Animals offers attainable, commonsense solutions to a growing crisis while making the case that ethical farming is not only an animal rights issue but one that affects every aspect of our lives.

According to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, there were 5.2 days suitable for field work last week while May’s precipitation took topsoil moisture to 81 percent adequate; two percent very short, 14 percent short and three percent with a surplus. Subsoil moisture continues to also be adequate at 74 percent, while four percent is rated very short, 21 percent short and only one percent surplus.
The far west edge of Furnas County is classified as abnormally dry by the United States Drought Monitor.
During the month of May, the Nebraska Rainfall Assessment and Information Network recorded precipitation totals of 5.64 inches southwest of Arapahoe to 2.420 inches northeast of Arapahoe. The May rains made it possible for crops to break through the ground without help from irrigation systems.
The National Weather Service out of Hastings shows a chance of more rain Wednesday evening into Thursday with a slight change of showers Thursday and Friday evenings. Temperatures are expected to be around 89 on Thursday and he 90’s on Friday.
Ninety-two percent of the Nebraska corn crop has emerged, according to the ag statistics service which is slightly ahead of 89 percent emerged at this time last year and 88 percent of the five-year average. The statistics service rated one percent of the corn conditions poor, 12 percent fair, 78 percent good and nine percent excellent.
Ninety-five percent of the soybean crop across the state has been planted with is head of 89 percent at the same time last year and ahead of the five-year average of 86 percent at this time last year. The statistics service rated 14 percent of the crop fair, 78 percent good and eight percent excellent.
According the UNL Crop Watch, wheat in south central and southwest Nebraska is headed or mostly headed while the ag statistics services rated Nebraska wheat at one percent poor, seven percent poor, 27 percent fair, 49 percent good and 16 percent excellent. | agronomy |

Table of contents [Show]
Reduced Crop Production
High temperatures, coupled with water scarcity, can lead to crop failures, reduced yields, and poor-quality produce. When crops fail or produce less, it affects the overall supply of food in the market.
Decreased Agricultural Revenue
Crop failures can result in decreased revenue for farmers. This has a direct impact on the income and livelihoods of farmers, especially those who rely solely on agriculture.
Increased Food Prices
When there is a decrease in crop production, the supply of food in the market is reduced. With fewer crops available, the demand for food can outweigh the supply, leading to increased food prices.
As food is a basic necessity, the increased cost of food can influence the prices of other goods and services. This can create inflationary pressure, where the general price level of goods and services increases. This makes it more expensive for individuals and businesses to meet their needs.
Food Security Concerns
When there is a decrease in crop production, it can affect the availability and accessibility of food for both domestic consumption and export. This can have implications for a country's ability to feed its population and fulfill international trade obligations.
Economic Impact on Farmers and Agriculture Sector
The agriculture sector contributes significantly to the economy, and any disruptions can have ripple effects. Reduced agricultural revenue can lead to decreased investments in the sector, lower employment opportunities, and a slowdown in rural economies.
Global Market Effects
In an interconnected global economy, crop failures in one region can affect food prices and even food availability in other parts of the world. This can impact international trade, and import-export dynamics, and potentially lead to geopolitical tensions related to food security.
Investing in climate-resilient agriculture, improving irrigation, diversifying crops, and supporting farmers can address the economic impacts of heat-related crop failures and high food prices, ensuring stable supply and affordability. | agronomy |

Says the legend that in the middle of a heavy storm, natives get into a cave, then a powerful thunderbolt tore into some agave plants nearby, burning them for hours, sometime later a new rich fragrance get into the cave, natives discovered that the core of the burned agave was the source and a well of a spirituous drink so all them thank the gods for this nectar that when drunk, transformed peoples personality, what a miracle!
Agave tequilana, commonly called blue agave (agave azul), tequila agave, mezcal or maguey is an agave plant that is an important economic product of Jalisco, Mexico, due to its role as the base ingredient of tequila, a popular distilled spirit. The high production of sugars, mostly in the form of fructose, in the core of this plant is the most important characteristic of the plant, making it suitable for the preparation of alcoholic beverages
A Mysterious Name…
The plant favors high altitudes of more than 1,500 meters and grows in rich and sandy soils. While commercial and wild agaves have different life cycles, both grow into large succulents, with spiky fleshy leaves, that can reach over two meters in height. Agaves sprout a stalk (quiote) when about five years old that can grow an additional five meters and are topped with yellow flowers. This stalk is cut off from commercial plants so that the plant will put more energy into the heart.
The flowers are pollinated by a native bat (Leptonycteris nivalis) and produce several thousand seeds per plant. The plant then dies. The shoots on commercial plants are removed when about a year old to allow the heart to grow larger. The plants are then reproduced by planting these shoots; this has led to a considerable loss of genetic diversity in cultivated blue agave.
It is rare for one kept as a houseplant to flower, but a 50-year old blue agave in Boston grew a 10 m (30 ft) stalk requiring a hole in the greenhouse roof and flowered in the summer of 2006.
Tequila must be distilled and bottled in Mexico to be genuine Tequila, otherwise is not Tequila but an imitation, this is recognized by US and European laws and Mexico considers tequila its national heritage property.
Over 11,000,000 million pounds are harvested every year for use in tequila production and each plant grows in a period of seven to nine years!
Mexico is that Tequila is the national drink and what is not so well known is that this drink exists from before Mexico became a nation. Several Mexican tribes already distilled a type of tequila on simple pot stills… back in the 16th century!
Not to worry American’s celebrate National Tequila Day July 24th, but here at Blue Agave we like to think everyday is a good day to enjoy a Margarita or two or just a shot of the best Tequila selection in town. | agronomy |

Approximately 65% of German wines are white, the remainder reds, with Germany being the third largest producer of Pinot Noir worldwide.
Germany is most well known for its Reisling, a grape variety which does very well in the cooler climate. With regards to reds, the Spatburgunder, also known as Pinot Noir in other parts of the world, is making some fantastic wine, Dornfelder is another variety doing very well.
Germany has 13 wine regions, although you have probably only heard about one, Mosel, which is home to some of the worlds steepest vineyards and runs alongside each bank of the Moselle River, which is known for slate-laden soil and the fact that it basks in the sun for months on end. As a result, this means the grapes contain higher levels of sugar. The sweetness of these grapes is balanced with acidity and minerals, which results in the beautifully crisp taste of Mosel Resiling.
The Ahr valley is one of Germanys northernmost and smallest wine regions, its an area surrounded on all sides by steep vineyard covered mountains, some reaching as high as 2,000 meters, the climate here is mostly mild and favorable. Four out of five bottles of Ahr wine are red and are dominated by Spatburgunder, Fruhburgunder and Portugieser. Similarly to Mosel, the most common white wine produced in the Ahr Valley is Riesling.
Pfalz is one of the warmest wine growing regions, it benefits from almost perfect weather conditions for viticulture. The summers here are dry but not too warm and the winters tend to be mild. It is also the second largest German wine region, the largest being Rheinhessen, which Pfalz borders to the north. | agronomy |

This is mostly because of the rules and regulations created by the government, which are intended to keep us safe, in actuality they deny us the right to choose clean and sustainably raised food over the questionable offerings readily available at the grocery shops.
Through my website, I frequently get questions on where to find meat, poultry and eggs and unfortunately I have nothing to offer, but my research lead me to find Philip Haramandjiev from Chiflik Livadi (meadow), and also owner of the Damianitza winery. I first read about him in an article for Light and then in the same week a friend of mine made an introduction; we got to meet and chat about food, agriculture and Joel Salatin.
Meeting Philip was quite inspiring, his ideas about food and animal raising mirror my own, particularly our appreciation of Joel Salatin’s pasture based farming methods and other influential names in the sustainable food movement. At his farm, in Damianitza he is using the life cycle of animal to build soil health and structure, which contributes to his animals being higher in nutritional value, health and of course flavor.
Pasture based farming allows the animals to roam and graze freely on fresh grass, but the method that Philip employs helps to ensure that the grass is as nutritious as possible by using a rotation system to keep balance in the field and eliminate the elements that people most associate with animal farms, the smell and flies.
The idea is quite simple, cattle are allowed to graze on a field sectioned offed by portable electric fences. This small area, will provide them with an adequate amount of grass for one day, as they will be moved to the next section, without over grazing and destroying the grass structure. After three days, an “egg mobile”, a moveable hen house will be rolled into the same area and will eat the fly larvae before they hatch and scratch the manure into the soil and aerating it, while contributing their own deposits. Once the chickens are finished this section of the pasture will be allowed to rest and regrow for 3 – 4 weeks, till the cattle return almost a month later and the process starts again.
In organic or sustainable farming, the relationship between the animal and the soil is of utmost importance. Human interference into this natural process, which has been occurring long before our presence on this planet, and in the past 200 years through industrial agriculture, we have lost sight of the intrinsic value of this relationship.
If you want to find out more about Philip and his farm, which is located 6km south from Sandanski in the Damianitza winery

It was a problem that was heartbreaking and it made me realize that I had to do something...how are we going to feed students?
And so I started thinking, what if students were fed healthy food at school all the time? I began to realize that there would be benefits from students being fed...the importance of children needing to eat so that they can learn. The need to educate our students so they can apply these skills to their communities to support themselves and essentially mankind for generations to come.
And then it came to me...we can grow our own food!
What if we used available space at schools, parking lots and lands for gardens? What if mobile baskets could be built by the students?
Imagine students building their own gardens and learning to harvest, prepare, eat and compost their own food. What if schools could build gardens and grow plants, every year supplying not only themselves, but their community with food?
I’m Joshua Hebb and I am the founder of Hands On Growing.
We bring people together in a community through education and management of building edible gardens that harvest locally grown food that is not only sustainable, but regenerates the environment while strengthening the community by providing local affordable healthy food.
I believe that we need to change how we are currently doing things. The way we produce food is destroying the environment that is needed to sustain itself, and so we need to teach our communities by using new systems and technology. We need food that is healthy, sustainable, local, affordable, and improves the natural environment vs. damaging it.
Because we need and can work together, we can reconnect ourselves with our environment to sustainably grow food that supports us.
Let’s teach someone how to grow and they will be able to grow and teach others.

Installation Ngali Ngariba – We talk
Exhibited at Berliner Festspiele Garden of Earthly Delights alongside 20 international artists using the space of the garden as a metaphor for the state of the world, in an exploration of the complexities of our chaotic and increasingly precarious present.
In my Ngugi culture we are in reciprocal relationship with all living things, we belong to country, where all living things co-evolve. In western culture humans have dominion over all other living things. These are strongly conflicting world views. A garden is a place where the natural world is ordered by the human world. It is important to listen to what gardens are saying to us, to become aware of who professes to own such gardens and the histories behind why they were created. Historically, what we now recognise as bio-piracy was about obtaining spices from the new world – sugar, tea, cinnamon, pepper etc. for the tables of the powerful: royalty and wealthy merchants, for their kitchen gardens. Then for their pleasure gardens to demonstrate their wealth. Later botanical gardens were opened for the enjoyment and education of the public. In recent times there has been a rise in community gardens for people who do not have access to land to grow food. Being invited to do a residency at the Mt. Coot-tha Botanical Gardens in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia in 2018 meant that I followed my artistic practice of deep listening at a specific site, and the plants that spoke most loudly to me about the state of the world there were those in The Dome Hothouse which houses plants from colonised countries around the world are still considered exotic by western terms of reference. Colonisation has resulted in many Indigenous plant species – whole forests in fact – being endangered or lost because of mono-culture, such as palm sugar production, and because of invasive introduced species, both plants and animals. On the continent I live on, now known as Australia, western industrialised agricultural practices have damaged country and depleted water resources, so that the lands that were sustainably managed by First Peoples for at least 80,000 years may never recover. Colonists not only imported exotic plants such as sugar and cotton, and animals such as cattle and sheep which have caused irreversible damage, they also enslaved and transported people to work their plantations. These damaging practises of growing and farming are still continuing, severely depleting country that my people are deeply connected to.The sustainable agricultural practices of Australia’s First Peoples involved careful management of the land to ensure the regeneration of foods and resources that were Indigenous to each area: sea country, wetlands, forests and deserts. Food and resources were shared when in season. Many European explorers starved and died of thirst on our lands because they couldn’t recognise Indigenous foods, and didn’t know how to find water. Today Indigenous Cultural Intellectual Property (ICIP) of economic significance and value to the Western world has no protection from theft under Western Law in Australia, despite decades of advocacy by First Nation lawyers, seeking protection of Indigenous Knowledges from financial exploitation.
Excerpt from essay Dr Glenda Nalder
Ngali ngariba” extends the concept of listening to plants from the local context [Why listen to the plants? curated by Liquid Architecture’s Dr. Danni Zuvela, and exhibited in 2018 in The Dome Hothouse, Mt. Coot-tha Botanical Gardens, Brisbane, Australia 3] to the global context, at the an “Garden of Earthly Delights” (GED) exhibition (26 July-1 December, 2019), during the Berliner Festspiele at Gropius Bau Museum. GED, Curated by Director, Dr. Stephanie Rosenthal, with Clara Meister, brings together “20 international artists using the space of the garden as a metaphor for the state of the world, in an exploration of the complexities of our chaotic and increasingly precarious present”. Ngali ngariba, a site-specific installation and sound work, gives voice to plants transported during the voyages of discovery from their plant communities in the ‘New World’ to the hothouses and greenhouses in the pleasure gardens of the ‘Old World’. Living plant specimens installed in the Gropius Bau Museum, sourced from the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin (BGBMB), ask, in the Indigenous languages of their countries of origin, “Why am I here?” A specimen Indigenous to Australia, the Acacia iteaphylla (blackwattle tree) from the BGBMB’s Australian Garden asks, Minyangu ngari gadji? (Why am I here?) in the language of the Ngugi people of the Quandamooka. (full essay here) | agronomy |

UNITY, MAINE, September 23, 2001: When Dr. Vandana Shiva attended the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association and the Common Ground Country Fair in September, she brought with her a stirring message. Honored as an international leader in her promotion of organic farming, she flew from her home in Doon Valley, India, on a flight after the terrorist attacks. With courage and fortitude, she has advocated organic methods of farming as the core and essence of a peaceful society. When plants are able to grow by natural means in rich soil untouched by the violence of chemicals, the result is peaceful farmers and families. Dr. Vandana herself has seen the results of chemically ravaged land farmed by huge corporations in the Punjab. Local farmers, unable to make a living for their families, have lost their dignity and respect. After praising the MOFGA for their work in endorsing organic farming, Dr. Vandana drew parallels in this area with her own organic farm in the foothills of the Himalayas.

No wonder that the sugar industry is considered its largest consumer. The use of water begins with the washing of raw materials entering the plant, which is an important technological process for cleaning raw materials from the earth and debris left after harvesting. At the same time, the manufacturer pays high attention to this process to avoid excessive washing in order to avoid the loss of sucrose along with the washing water.
In the production of beet sugar, beets are cut into shavings and for the separation of sucrose, water washing is used in diffusion devices at a temperature of about 70C. Sucrose extraction is carried out in the next step after washing the raw material.
In general, it is worth noting that water is used in sugar production at different stages, while water goes through different stages of preparation.
The country's demand for fresh industrial and drinking water at the sugar factory is about 600 thousand cubic meters per day.
In March 2020, construction of a new water pipeline in the Tselinsky district of the Rostov region began. Thus, the First Don sugar plant will be fully supplied with water and given the large-scale technological processes using water resources in the production of sugarand will become the largest consumer of water in Tselina.

It is hard not to imagine Mega as a useful person to have around should decades-old predictions finally come true and America descends into a Mad-Max like apocalypse. After all, even in a doomsday scenario, a person has gotta eat. And, it is also desirable if you can do so without others taking advantage of your own good foresight to be prepared for the doomsday you always knew was coming.
However, a true survivalist garden requires more than just a knowledge of what seeds to plant and how much to tend them. After all, in a Mad Max scenario, you don’t want to be out in your garden all day where anybody could take a shot at you. A survivalist garden must produce the greatest possible yield in the smallest possible area, and it should require minimal attention and care. Ideally, it should only have to be planted once, and it should be able to thrive without pesticides, weeding, or fertilization. It also would benefit if it did not resemble a traditional vegetable garden, to discourage looting.
A world without electricity, supermarkets, fertilizer, pesticide, refrigeration, or seed stores might sound apocalyptic to Americans, who have lived a relative life of luxury for a long time now. However, this is how much of the world has always lived, and indigenous people in many corners of the world still practice farming techniques that have worked for thousands of years.
The first tip to take from the indigenous people’s playbook is to stick to perennials. Those are plants that only need to be planted once; they produce a yield every year after that. The modern supermarket shopper tends to fill their cart with annuals, the plants that must be replanted every year. Planting annuals is akin to milking a cow, while planting perennials is more like owning the cow. Perennials develop deeper roots than annuals, enabling them to reach sources of moisture and minerals that annuals cannot reach. It also gives them a level of protection from seasonal changes in climate and weather.
One should also discard the notion of growing vegetables in neat little rows. In nature, this isn’t how they grow, and the sheer act of separating one plant from another means you are depriving the plants’ natural tendencies to develop symbiotic relationships with other plants. Plants grow to varying sizes; enabling some to protect others from too much direct light. Plants can share nutrients very efficiently, and can even protect each other from insect invasion.
The best way to arrange your plants is to mimic nature. Plants will often grow in clusters around a central plant which is usually taller than the others. A good centerpiece for your survival garden would be a fruit or nut bearing tree. This provides shade for the plants that need shade. Beyond those, a ring of berry shrubs can enclose the more fragile shade-seeking plants. Then, another ring of herbs will provide the perfect battleground for predatory insects to devour the pesky ones who come seeking free fruit. The herbs will also attract the beneficial insects that you need: pollinators. An outer perimeter of ground cover will help trap nitrogen to nourish your plants.
By positioning your plants in such a manner, you are encouraging the plants to intermingle as they would in nature, while also drastically conserving space. Such a plot will often produce as much as 500% the yield of a traditional patch of vegetables grown in tidy rows. The resulting cluster of plant life is also nicely camouflaged; it does not resemble a traditional vegetable patch, and will be easily overlooked by rampaging survivors of the apocalypse.
Since you’ve planted perennials, you’ll be assured of food to eat (centuries-old methods of preserving fruit and vegetables can get you through the lean winter months), even if you don’t tend to the garden at all. Sometimes letting nature do all the work is the sensible way to go, especially when you have an apocalypse to deal with. | agronomy |

A lot of countries are blessed with large land mass and fertile lands whereas others are not so blessed in terms of land mass and fertile soil. Food is one essential substance consumed to provide nutritional support for living things.
Today, one of the problems with the world especially in Africa is hunger and poverty which has a great negative impact on our generation, making the youths less active and productive. As of 2018, the world population is said to be approximately 7.6 billion people according to the census bureau. 767 million people (10.7%) of the world population live in extreme poverty with less than $2 a day. Nearly 385 million children in the world are living in extreme poverty, a study conducted by UNICEF in 2016. Sub-Saharan Africa has the largest number of extreme poverty with 389 million people, which account for half of the total number of extreme poverty in the world according to World Bank.
The above-stated statistics have shown that enough has not been done in term of farming and food production. Food insecurity is a massive problem in Africa. To increase readily availability and access to food, an alternative approach to farming has been created, called conventional farming (such as; greenhouse farming, hydroponic farming etc.) to ensure continuous production of food.
So to address the ongoing debate between organic and conventional farming, let’s understand what these terms mean. Organic farming is the natural growing practice without the use of synthetic pesticide or chemical fertilizer, which help to increase sustainability, biodiversity, encourage good soil, air quality and also allow for continued practice of crop rotation. On the other hand, conventional farming also called industrial farming is the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticide and genetically modified organisms, heavy irrigation and continuous monoculture production to produce enough food at all time.
More concern has been raised about pesticides and other practices use in conventional farming and the effect of these chemicals on human health. In Africa, especially Nigeria, where the climate and environment condition is totally different from other parts of the world, our farms and crop are mostly attacked and destroyed by pest and sometimes post-harvest damages which have greatly reduced the food production of the country.
Let’s take for instance tomato farming, Nigeria is ranked as the 14th largest tomato producer in the world with 1.7 million tons produced yearly, but due to poor farming practice and complete reliance on organic farming according to it definition, we have not been able to meet the tomato demand and as a result, we import tomato from other neighbouring and overseas countries spending about N80 billion yearly in the importation of fresh and processed tomato as of 2015.
So the question now is, for how long will this continue and what is the way forward. The answer to this question is that both conventional and organic farming practices should be encouraged as several scientific research conducted by Food Standard Agency and Stanford Medicine shows there is no significant difference between “organic” and “conventional” crops in terms of taste, nutrition and safety.
As of today, 95% of food is produced in our soil with the ever-growing population of the world it is believed that 50% more food will be needed to be produced by 2050. The world population is projected to be 9.7 billion by 2050 with Nigeria overtaking the USA to become the third most populous nation in the world. Government and other agricultural agencies, especially in Nigeria, should encourage and support farmers now more than ever to produce more food to feed the fast-growing population be it with the use of the conventional or organic method of farming. | agronomy |

Hand pulling small infestation works very well if the majority of the taproot is removed.
Using a selective herbicide will greatly decrease knapweed and increase grasses, which will help out-compete knapweed infestation.
Cultivation works well in controlling small infestations of spotted knapweed

A well-manicured lawn is the pride of homeowners and a symbol of a beautiful, thriving outdoor space. However, maintaining that lush green paradise can be challenging when unsightly weeds start to invade. Weeds can be persistent, seemingly immune to regular mowing and care. To combat these intruders effectively, many homeowners turn to lawn weed killers. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore everything you need to know about lawn weed killers, from types and application methods to safety tips and eco-friendly alternatives.
Types of Lawn Weed Killers:
- Pre-Emergent Weed Killers: These weed killers work by preventing weed seeds from germinating. They are best applied before weeds have a chance to grow, typically in early spring or late winter. Pre-emergent weed killers create a protective barrier in your soil, inhibiting weed growth.
- Post-Emergent Weed Killers: Post-emergent Lawn weed killers are designed to kill weeds that are already growing in your lawn. They are further categorized into selective and non-selective varieties. Selective post-emergent weed killers target specific types of weeds, leaving your grass unharmed. Non-selective weed killers, on the other hand, will kill all vegetation they come into contact with.
- Systemic Weed Killers: Systemic weed killers are absorbed by the weed’s leaves and then transported throughout the plant, ultimately killing it from the roots up. They are effective against a wide range of weeds but should be used with caution, as they can harm desirable plants if not applied carefully.
- Contact Weed Killers: Contact weed killers kill only the parts of the plant they come into direct contact with. They work quickly but may not eliminate the root, so the weed may regrow.
- Spraying: Most liquid weed killers are applied by spraying directly onto the weeds or the affected area. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper dilution and application.
- Granular Weed Killers: Granular weed killers are spread evenly over your lawn using a spreader. They are convenient for treating larger areas and are less likely to drift in the wind.
- Spot Treatment: For small weed patches, consider spot treatment. Apply the weed killer directly to individual weeds using a spray bottle or a paintbrush.
Using weed killers requires responsible handling to protect yourself, your family, and the environment:
- Protective Gear: Always wear protective clothing, including gloves, long sleeves, and safety goggles when handling weed killers.
- Proper Mixing: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing and diluting weed killers. Using more than the recommended dosage can be harmful.
- Keep Children and Pets Away: Ensure that children and pets stay away from treated areas until it’s safe.
- Environmentally Friendly Alternatives: Consider eco-friendly weed control options such as manual removal, mulching, or using natural herbicides like vinegar or salt.
A weed-free lawn is achievable with the right lawn weed killer and proper application techniques. By understanding the types of weed killers available, how to apply them safely, and considering eco-friendly alternatives, you can maintain a beautiful, weed-free lawn that you’ll be proud to showcase to family and friends. Always remember to read and follow the instructions on the product label for the best results and to protect your lawn, your health, and the environment. | agronomy |

The external position of Ghana has improved as the trade balance has shifted to a surplus. Furthermore, Ghana enjoys an open society, with a vibrant media and strong public dialogue.
The business and economic climate is indeed a competitive one due to the increased implementation of pro-business reforms by successive governments to boost trade in the country. Ghana also provides a more clearly regulated and open market system when compared to other countries in the sub-region. The country’s predictable business operating environment sets it apart as a suitable point of entry for businesses looking to invest in West Africa.
The agricultural front provides several opportunities for business development in Ghana. Notwithstanding the significant contributions agriculture has made towards economic prosperity of most advanced countries, its strategic role in the socio-economic and environmental development of Ghana is of vital importance.
However, the larger scope of agriculture is riddled with disjointed components that do not propel sustainable and efficient growth of such a significant sector for development. Low production and productivity in the agricultural sector is a major problem with both direct and indirect impacts on food security and growth of the economy. Issues including but not limited to the low level of agriculture mechanization, over-reliance on rain-fed agriculture, and low level of technology adoption (fertilizer application, use of improved varieties and breeds) are important contributing factors. Other issues such as the weak management procedures along the value chain, value added processing of agricultural and other related products, as well as the limited access to extension services for farmers can also not be overlooked.

News article this morning about pending FDA regulation that would require farmers who spread manure on their fields to wait nine months-more than a growing season-before harvesting foods planted in manure-fertilized fields in order to ‘protect’ consumers from possible, potential, risk from salmonella organisms because they “don’t know how long it actually lives in the soil”.
Salmonella is like any other organism in that it requires correct living conditions or it dies. Living in the soil is natural, being able to live in the body is not. It requires a combination of factors that are obviously not extremely common, given that even in salmonella “outbreaks caused by” spinach or strawberries only a miniscule number of the tens or hundreds of thousands of people who eat the product actually get sick. Those factors include low levels of stomach acid (usually instigated by antacids) which is exacerbated by chlorinated (and otherwise alkalinized) water, combined with extremely low levels of gut bacteria. The acidity and enzymes of the stomach exist in part to kill harmful pathogens before they get any further into the body, and intestinal flora finish the job. Unfortunately, we have been killing both with our diets. We need a huge variety of live cultures, so eat real yogurt, kimchee, kefir, live vinegar, etc. (Check a previous post for info about the artificially engineered probiotics!) Eat lots of fresh foods, even (especially!) grown organically in manure, since they contain active enzymes that help break the food down for you. An exciting new study released in July showed that even people undergoing radiation and chemotherapy for leukemia and other cancers, who had previously been directed to avoid fresh fruits and vegetables because of the germ risk, did better when they ate them.
This regulation is acknowledged as a ‘war’ between relatively small and larger farmers. Earthbound Farms (interesting article at http://www.thepacker.com/fruit-vegetable-news/Report-Dead-end-for-Earthbound-Farm-sale-227100231.html) is for it; the smaller farmer they interviewed this morning said there has never been a problem in literally millions of pounds of produce they have shipped over the last 40 years and is against it. Current regulations require a wait time of four months, which is in line with traditional farming practices. Here’s the deal: FDA is encouraging the use of a processed, heated, pelletized manure, which costs three to four times as much as fresh. It would be interesting to follow the supply chain; my guess is that many of the huge industrial farmers are also processing manure….
The other problem with that type of product is that it is not just nutrients that soil needs. More and more researchers are discovering the profound significance of live micro-organisms in the soil, just as they have found in our bodies. Fresh manure has them; commercially heat-processed manure doesn’t. They allow the nutrients to be taken up into the plants. Did you know that ground which has been paved at any point remains sterile for 100 YEARS before it will support plant life??? Remember that “sterile” means more than just evil-germ-free-it means life-free. We need a huge variety of life to be healthy, and we need to get it from our food. PLEASE contact the FDA and let them know you think that mankind has not survived for this many thousands of years by doing everything wrong. The manure cycle is fine if we will just allow it to work as it has since the beginning of time! | agronomy |

The three Bills – The Farmers (Empowerment & Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, The Essential Commodities Act (Amendment) Bill and Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill – will now become a law as soon as President Ram Nath Kovind gives his assent.
The Bills touted as agricultural reforms by the Modi government have several issues. First-of-all Agriculture is a state subject and the Central government has stepped into a domain which was not a part of its regulation. Secondly Indian farmers most of which have small land holding on average of less than 1 acre feel that the laws will make them even more vulnerable as they give an edge to corporate and agri-business companies. The Bills have left the farmers agitated and divided due to several reasons.
For better understanding let’s peak into the bills and their major points of contentions.
1. The Farmers (Empowerment & Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill: It draws a framework for contract farming agreement between farmers and buyer before sowing of a crop and for dispute settlement prescribes three level mechanisms – the conciliation board, sub-divisional magistrate and appellate authority. However, the points of contention are:
a) Under this law it’s not mandatory for a company to make a written contract with the farmer for any contract farming. So, even if the company violates the terms of the contract, the farmer cannot prove it.
b) It does not have any provision to penalize companies which do not register their contracts. For eg: Last year, Potato farmers from Gujarat witnessed a big issue where Pepsico attempted to penalize potato farmers for growing the same seed varieties. The farmer organizations finally had to knock on the doors of the court and agitate to get justice.
c) Bill does not prescribe or specify that contract price of the crop should be at least equivalent or above the MSP. It means the contractor/companies can pay whatever price they want to the farmer. India’s experience of the contract farming has been poor with farmers getting very low rates through contract farming as compared to selling it in government mandis on MSPs (Minimum Support Price).
2. The Essential Commodities Act (Amendment) Bill: It empowers the Central government to regulate food items in extraordinary circumstances or impose stock limits if there is a steep price rise. However, the points of contention are:
a) Till now only farmers, farmer cooperatives and Farmer Producer Organisations didn’t have any limit or restriction for stocking, producing or selling their crop. As a result, they take conscious decision of selling their crops only when the market or the buyer is offering good price for the crop. So, under this bill the farmers are not getting any new freedom. On the contrary the government is now removing all the foodstuffs from this category allowing companies and traders to store as much quantity of food as they want which amounts to promoting hoarding.
b) Through this Amendment the government is giving up its power to prevent hoarding and controlling price inflation. According to the law, government can intervene only if there is 50% price rise over previous year’s price in case of non-perishable goods and 100% price rise over previous year’s perishable goods.
3. Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill: It allows intra-state and inter-state trade of farmers produce beyond the physical premises of Agricultural Produce and Livestock Market Committee (APMC) markets. State will be now prohibited from levying any market fees or cess outside APMC areas.
a) The government says that now the farmers will have freedom to sell to anyone. Under the bill, the agri-business companies, corporate and traders will be allowed to open their own markets to purchase from farmers. However, the biggest fear coming from this is that it will destroy the level playing field between the APMC markets and other traders. Under the bill, the trade outside the APMC Mandis is virtually unregulated.
b) Farmers were demanding that in case the government is allowing, new set of farm markets to come up; the state and local government should be given power to oversee their functioning and also regulate them. However, the demand has been ignored.
c) Presently if the farmers feel the traders/corporate/agents working inside the APMC Mandis are involved in any unfair practices, they could complaint to the APMC Officers located in the yard itself. However, with the new Bill, in case of any disputes, farmers would be required to go to a sub-divisional magistrate court – which is beyond the capacity of small farmers to pursue given their financial constraints. | agronomy |

Today is the first official day of spring! When I think of spring, my mind automatically turns to gardening. I have gardened with my mother for pretty much as long as I can remember. It has always been part of our late winter/early spring routine to plan the garden, start seeds indoors, waiting for the soil to thaw so that we can prepare the garden beds and transplant the little seedlings.
Gardening is really great thing to do if you have the space and resources to do so. Getting the kids involved is even better.
Gardening can teach them to be gentle, patient, and hard-working. Growing plants that successfully grow and bear fruit/vegetables/blossoms etc. takes a long time and requires quite a bit of waiting. It can be really rewarding though.
Is is too late to start seeds?
The answer is no. It is not too late to start seeds. There are many seeds that you can plant either directly outdoors (weather permitting) or start them indoors this month.
Here is a list of seeds that you can start right now.
>> Sweet Peas
How do you get kids interested in gardening?
One of the best ways to get kids interested in gardening is to read some books about it. There are plenty of picture books about gardening for kids. Some of them are non-fiction and very instructional, while others are nice story books.
Below is a list of picture books about gardening that kids will love, and you will too!
If you love a sweet story with beautiful illustrations, then The Gardener by Sarah Stewart author of The Library, is the gardening book for you. The characters are loveable, the story is sweet and innocent, and it makes you fall in love with it.
Young Lydia Grace Finch, when her parents fall on hard times, is forced to leave her home and temporarily live her Uncle Jim.
On her journey she brings a suitcase full of seeds to the big gray city. There she initiates a gradual transformation, bit by bit brightening her Uncle Jim’s bakery and bringing smiles to customers’ faces with the flowers she grows. But it is in a secret place that Lydia Grace works on her masterpiece – an ambitious rooftop garden which she hopes will make even Uncle Jim smile.
The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle is a wonderful book for kids that is all about seeds. Even though this story takes place in the autumn and not the spring, seeds are a major part in gardening and that is why I included this book in the list.
Carried aloft by the autumn wind, the tiny seed, along with other bigger seeds, travels far over the world. the journey is perilous: one of the bigger seeds is burned by the sun; another falls into the ocean; still another is eaten by a bird. Even after those that are left have landed on fertile ground and begun to grow, danger is near: one small plant is stepped on; one little flower is picked; but the tiny seed keeps growing almost unnoticed
This next one is a family favorite. I don’t even know how many times we checked Tops & Bottoms out of the library. Finally, one of my younger brothers got it as a Christmas gift. I think he loves it a little more than the rest of us, which is quite hard to achieve.
After losing a race to a turtle, Hare is rather short of money but willing to work. Bear on the other hand is well off, but very lazy.
Hare goes to bear and proposes a deal. He will work bear’s land and plant the crops, then they will split the harvest equally. Bear will even get to choose which half of the crops he wants.
The harvest comes in and hare asks which half bear wants. Tops or Bottoms?
When bear chooses tops the crop is potatoes or radishes.
When bear chooses bottoms the crop is lettuces and so on.
No matter what he chooses, bear always get the short end of the stick, and hare gets a decent crop to feed his family. This enteratining tale will have the whole family entertained.
The tale that Tops & Bottoms by Janet Stevens is based on has roots in American slave tales and presents using your wits to overcome hardships and get what you need to survive.
This next book is more of an informative one. It explains how seeds grow in a way that children will understand. It is filled with full page illustrations and simple text.
How does a tiny acorn grow into an enormous oak tree? How a Seed Grows by Helene J. Jordan shows how little seeds become the plants and trees that surround us. This book includes a find out more activity section with a simple experiment encouraging kids to discover what a seed needs to grow.
Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt by Kate Messner is a lovely book. I think this is one of my personal favorite picture books about gardening. The illustrations are wonderful and the text is very easy to follow.
Up in the garden, the world is full of green—leaves and sprouts, growing vegetables, ripening fruit. But down in the dirt there is a busy world of earthworms digging, snakes hunting, skunks burrowing, and all the other animals that make a garden their home.discover what a seed needs to grow.
The story in We Are the Gardeners by Joanna Gaines is so genuine and cute. The illustrations are wonderful and both go together so beautifully.
In this book your family can be introduced to the famous Gaines family as they become gardeners.
It all started with a little fern that Chip bought for his wife. Over the following years, the family’s interested and love for gardening grew alongside their plants.
I don’t know why, but I have always loved Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney. The illustrations are wonderful and the story is so heart-warming. I am sure that it is one that many people have heard of or even read many times over.
‘The Lupine Lady lives in a small house overlooking the sea. In between the rocks around her house grow blue and purple and rose-colored flowers. The Lupine Lady is little and old. But she has not always been that way. I know. She is my great-aunt, and she told me so.’ – Miss Rumphius
Barbara Cooney’s story of Alice Rumphius, who longed to travel the world, live in a house by the sea, and do something to make the world more beautiful, has a timeless quality that resonates with each new generation. The countless lupines that bloom along the coast of Maine are the legacy of the real Miss Rumphius, the Lupine Lady, who scattered lupine seeds everywhere she went.
That the entire list of picture books about gardening that kids will love. If you would like a printable list of all of the titles I mentioned, plus a bunch more, then can you download that by clicking on the picture below or using this link.

Metaldehyde is the principle chemical in Slug and Snail killer products especially the little blue pellet products. Anyone who grows leaf vegetables like lettuce and cabbage knows the horrors that the slimy little gastropods can wreak on your prized veg and the little blue pellets were the go to product to rid the garden of the messy little mucus producers.
While they were great for ridding you of the slugs and snails, they did not harm the plants. Trouble is they did harm other wildlife in the garden, Birds were drawn to the pellets probably due to their similarities to popular bird food suet pellets in size and shape, they also proved to be attractive to dogs.
The ban on the sale of these products came into force on the 1st of July with the blanket ban on outdoor use coming into force in Spring 2020.
With Metaldehyde pellets now legally unavailable to buy from reputable retailers and garden centers, you may now be wondering how to get rid of slugs and snails from your lettuces and so forth. After all, the big attraction of the pellets is they are very much a use and forget product and did not require much in the way of monitoring or re application.
There is an alternative little blue pellet that does not contain Metaldehyde and is also much less a problem for pets and birds
Doff Super Slug Killer does not contain Metaldehyde, instead its principle ingredient is Hydrated Ferric Phosphate. It works in exactly the same way as the other pellet product just without the nasty chemical side effects.
As more information is uncovered over the lasting impact these types of products have had on the environment, you will find more and more of these types of pest control items will become more and more restricted and will force companies into developing products that make less of an impact on both the environment and wildlife we all depend on. | agronomy |

What should you do if you have a lawn that has more dead spots than green spots?
In short, the answer is to overseed the lawn in order to get it to green back up. The same thing can be accomplished when you want to keep your lawn green during the winter. It all comes down to knowing what types of seed to put down and when to do it.
Mow The Lawn
The first thing you want to do before you do any type of overseeding is to mow the lawn. Make sure that you mow it as short as possible.
Use A Seed Spreader
If you've got any kind of a lawn of any size, this is almost a necessary piece of equipment. It makes it so much easier to overseed your lawn properly without taking forever in order to do it.
Fertilize The Yard
In order to make sure that the new grass seed takes, it's imperative that you fertilize the yard after you get done spreading the seed. You can do that with the seed spreader as well, but it's imperative that you do it.
This is especially important right after you spread all of the grass seed and you fertilize the lawn. If you fail to water it, you're probably not going to get the results you want, especially when you consider the fact that most fertilizer is activated by water. | agronomy |
