Phytesia SA is a spin-off company of the University of Liege created in 2003. The company participates in development of new kinds of vegetal production thanks to the numerous possibilities offered by the techniques of in vitro culture and multiplication. It pays special attention to rare or under-used plants and seeks to develop in vitro techniques that facilitate production of a much greater number of them.
After some years of work, guided by demand, the activity of the company has been exclusively concentrated on varieties of orchids that were totally ignored until now. Phytesia has selected varieties of orchids coming from cold regions and resistant to temperatures as low as -30°C, which can be cultivated in our gardens. These plants which till now were not known to the general public have become the speciality of Phytesia.
Phytesia is the first company to have perfected production techniques tailored specifically to perennial orchids. As pioneers, we have come to occupy the position of worldwide leader in this domain. Today, the company has more than 60 varieties in production in the laboratory, with around twenty in large scale production with applications in the sectors of horticulture, cosmetics, the food industry and medicine.
The modern economy uses just a small proportion of the plant varieties existing on earth. This dependence on a small group of vegetal species concerns all sectors of activity that make use of plant material. Agriculture uses just thirty or so species to satisfy 95% of mankind’s nutritional needs. Decorative horticulture uses around 180 different species. Medicinal plants or plants grown for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals involve several hundred species, while scientists have identified more than 6,000 species producing interesting secondary metabolites.
Many plants today remain unused because it is impossible to produce them on a large scale.
Phytesia was born of the desire to develop in vitro techniques making it possible to produce certain rare plants in greater quantities.
Everyone knows orchids; everyone has bought them at one time or another. More than 500 million plants are sold every year in Europe…
Nevertheless, the varieties marketed today are varieties of tropical origin, poorly adapted to our climatic conditions. They are very often produced in greenhouses heated to 30°C that require heavy energy inputs (heating, lighting, etc.).
Phytesia has selected rare varieties of orchids originating from the cold regions of the globe… Cypripedium from the Canadian Rockies, Orchis from the Alps, varieties present in the wild on the Russian steppes or in the Himalayan mountains, varieties from the Fagnes or Flanders… in short, varieties which are naturally suited to climates similar to our own.
Nevertheless, many of these perennial orchids are today heading for extinction, because they are only present in a few isolated areas. Moreover, they are protected by international regulations (CITES) which forbid the harvesting of wild plants in order to protect the natural sites and safeguard the species.
This is where Phytesia comes in... Our team has perfected a unique and original technique of reproducing these rare varieties. It consists in cultivating the plants in vitro to increase their number without taking plants from the wild and putting the species in danger. After more than 10 years of research, Phytesia has today nearly 60 varieties in production in vitro. Since 2013, nearly 500,000 young plants in vitro leave the laboratory every year.
Greenhouses installed in the Condruz area then receive the orchids and continue their cultivation. Upon leaving the laboratory, the young plants are raised for a further three to four years before the first blooms appear and they go on sale to the general public.
Phytesia is ...
- A unique and original product: the Phytesia laboratory is the only one in the world to have mastered in vitroproduction of a large range of perennial orchids.
- A growing market: Since its founding, Phytesia's sales have been growing substantially (from 35,000 plants in 2003 to around 250,000 plants in 2014).
- A diversified market: Around forty varieties are marketed to the decorative horticulture sector (80% of the company’s present sales turnover); Phytesia also markets three varieties whose main active ingredients are used to formulate cosmetics; and one variety for therapeutic use. Future developments should also make it possible to use many varieties for the food industry.
- Protection of biodiversity: Most perennial orchid species are now in danger of disappearing from their natural environments, and the development of a production chain has not only a business side to it but also a certain ecological interest. By marketing plants grown in the laboratory it will be possible to make them accessible while protecting their natural habitats.
- Environmentally friendly production: Floriculture in general and the production of orchids in particular are activities that consume a lot of energy. Indeed, the majority of orchids currently being sold are of tropical origin and their production in our climate requires a lot of energy inputs (heating the greenhouses to 27°C, artificial lighting, etc.). By contrast, the range of perennial orchids developed by Phytesia needs only small energy inputs (no heating for the greenhouses, no artificial lighting).
While orchids coming from the tropics have become a leading product of decorative horticulture (the European market is in the order of 500 million plants per year), perennial orchids still remain a niche product. More than 99% of the population are unaware of the existence of orchid varieties which can withstand garden temperatures as low as -25°C or -30°C. The distribution of garden orchids at points of sale (garden centres, hypermarkets, mail order, etc.) also remains marginal. The plants (available in limited quantities till now) are generally only available at a few points of sale and/or for very brief periods, all of which also limits the opportunity for consumers to discover them.
The funds freed up by the increase of capital will be used principally to promote and increase knowledge of perennial orchids, as well as to improve the distribution of the product and organise new distribution channels for the horticultural sector.
Since price is a limiting factor for mass distribution, Phytesia has developed a special range called ‘Easy garden’ (the most vigorous varieties, especially suited to beginners or gardeners who want an impressive display of beautiful orchids quickly and at a very affordable price) for mass distribution outlets (wholesalers, garden centre chains, etc.).
In parallel, Phytesia offers two other ranges (‘Trendy garden’ and ‘Collection Garden’) for a more experienced consumer or those looking for a rare orchid. These varieties are distributed through the entire European Union via specialist retailers or via our online platform.
Phytesia wants to increase the sale of ‘Easy Garden’ varieties to horticultural wholesalers and retailers.
At the same time, Phytesia wants to organise the sale of the ‘Trendy Garden’ and ‘Collection Garden’ varieties principally to B to C clients (via an online sales platform) as these varieties are not generally distributed by wholesalers (too costly). In addition, clients who have purchased a first variety in a garden centre often then become interested in garden orchids and discover Phytesia for the purpose of buying other varieties.
Presently 95% of Phytesia's sales are within the European Union, whereas the geographic areas showing big growth in horticulture (United States, Canada, Russia and Eastern countries, China, etc.) have a climate similar to ours and thus are well suited to our products. Orchids travel well in the form of vitro-plants (laboratory) or bulbs (during the dormant period). Participation in exhibitions in these geographic areas is aimed at identifying new potential clients (retailers, wholesalers) and/or setting up collaborations for local production and distribution.
The in vitro production technology as adapted to perennial orchids which is used today by Phytesia was first developed in 1999 by Pascal Lambé as a First Spin-off project of the Molecular Biology and Biotechnology Laboratory (Prof. Jacques Dommes, University of Liège (ULG)). On 14 January 2003, GESVAL (a Promotion Company of the ULG) granted Phytesia an exclusive operating licence for this technology. In addition, in 2006 Phytesia acquired the complementary in vitro multiplication technology developed by AFE Consulting NV (East Flanders). This acquisition made it possible not only to pool the respective knowledge and thus to improve the technology, but also and above all to exercise control over nearly the entire in vitro production of temperate orchids.
Phytesia works together with numerous Belgian and foreign wholesalers for the distribution of perennial orchids (Flora-Holland, Floréac, IBH-Plants, Gasa, etc.). Phytesia also supplies many garden centres and mail order companies. 95% of Phytesia’s production is presently sold outside of Belgium.
The collected funds will mainly be used for 3 purposes:
- R&D (20%): Identification of new varieties of perennial orchids, clarification and optimisation of the in vitro multiplication of the new varieties, developments of growings for the cosmetic applications, dietary, and medicinal.
- Production (40%): The perennial orchids must be cultivate 3 to 4 years before reaching a flowering’ size. The collected funds will partly allow financing the immobilization of the increasing quantities of orchids at labs and glasshouses.
- Promotion (40%): The perennial orchids stay today a very little known product. 99% of the population doesn’t know that some varieties can resist in the gardens until some temperatures to -30°C. An important effort will aim at making the product known for the general public (radio publicity, TV, press articles, social networks, …) | agronomy |

Different from the yellow “pelican mango” that is widely grown in Southeast Asia, the Miyazaki mangoes have the second largest production in Japan after Okinawa. The mangoes are sweet and grow up to a size similar to other mango varieties. It is their rarity that makes them so costly,” he tells The Better India. Interestingly, the Miyazaki mango, grown on the Kyushu island of Japan, comes from the Irwin mangoes cultivated in Florida, USA. These mangoes must be over 350g in weight, have a 15% or higher sugar content, and be perfectly colored and shaped. This name was chosen because Miyazaki Prefecture is known for its sunshine, combined with the fact that the mangoes are flaming red and their shape looks like dinosaur eggs. | agronomy |

Is it loose, level, well drained? Is it sandy or hard clay? Plants will not grow in either of these soil types unless lots of organic matter like well-rotted compost is added.
- Sunlight – how much sun does that spot have during the day? You need at least 10 plus hours of sunlight per day for high quality vegetables.
- Shrubs and Trees – they will compete with the sunlight if they are near your garden. Monitor where the shade pattern is during the day and place your garden outside of the shaded area. In addition, their roots tend to choke out tender vegetable plants, so the further away they are the better.
- Water – How close is the water supply to your garden? Gardens require frequent watering during the growing season. If you must carry water to your garden or haul a long hose, place your garden nearer to the water supply.
- Location, location, location – garden placement is the most critical piece to growing. If your garden is too far away, chances are it will be neglected. Gardens need to be cared for daily, which means, planting, weeding, pruning, watering and harvesting (which is the best part of all). If your garden is on the “back forty”, chances are you will never reap the full rewards of your hard work.
- Size / Cost – How big is your garden going to be? Obviously, the available space you have will dictate the size. Remember there are upfront costs to consider when starting a garden and the bigger your garden is the more it’s going to cost.
- Vegetable Location – Are you planning an entire row with one vegetable or are you planting half with one thing and half with something else? Are you planting in the ground or in raised beds?
- Row Length - This is important to determine how much seed to buy. How many plants can you plant per row? The answer to that question will be in the seed description.
- Inter-Row & Inter-Plant Space - A foot wide path between rows is a good rule of thumb. You don’t want your rows too narrow as weeding becomes very difficult. Conversely, you don’t want your rows too wide as this wastes space and requires more weeding. Ick!
- Planting Dates – You need to figure out the approximate date of the last frost in your area. I start turning over my soil and prepping as soon as the ground is defrosted and warmed up. It could be a few weeks before or after the general frost date for my area.
- Succession Planting - What plants will follow when each vegetable is harvested? This is a space saving technique but you need to plan for it to work.
Small gardens (less than 1000 sq. ft.) - think about plants with a high yield per plant, which include the following vegetables:
- Bush Beans
- Leafy greens
- Peppers (hot and sweet)
- Squash (bush variety)
- Mustard Greens
- Collard Greens
- Beets, Peas
- Large Gardens (1000 sq. ft. or more) – larger gardens can obviously grow a larger variety of vegetables (including those that take up more space) but remember the bigger the garden the more work required and the higher resulting yield. If there are only two of you and unless you want to be super gardeners or love to be outside puttering around, I’d recommend downsizing to a small plot:
- All the vegetables listed above
- Melons (vining varieties)
- Squash (vining varieties)
- Sweet Corn
Thanks Michele! I love sunflowers! I grow them as micro greens for salads. The baby shoots that are about 5 – 10 days old are wonderful! They have a great nutty flavor.
Thanks Lesli – add a little lettuce or kale to your shade garden -it should do well in the shade all summer and not bolt.
Thank you for providing such great information, and so detailed! One thing I love to do is companion planting…it’s so fun to tuck some marigolds and nasturtiums in with my veggies here and there. And I couldn’t be without my sunflowers…they just make the garden such a happy, sunny place. :)
I miss veggie gardening! We have 2 acres, nearly all shady, so I grow a few hardy herbs, and the occasional container tomato.
There is something so relaxing and exciting about planning the garden from picking the varieties to making it look pretty on paper – all in neat rows and boxes. Especially in winter. in SD | agronomy |

That’s the promise of vertical farming, a revolutionary approach that’s reshaping agriculture.
But can it be profitable? Let’s delve into the challenges and solutions that make vertical farms thrive.
Stacked Advantages, Tangled Roots:
Vertical farms boast impressive benefits. They squeeze maximum yield from minimal space, thriving even in urban jungles.
They use significantly less water and eliminate soil erosion, making them eco-warriors. Plus, they offer year-round, pesticide-free produce, a win for health and sustainability.
However, challenges lurk in the shadows. Energy consumption is a major hurdle.
Towering crops need constant artificial lighting, jacking up electricity bills. Additionally, the initial setup costs are hefty, requiring advanced technology and automation.
Breaking the Energy Barrier:
So, how do some vertical farms turn a profit? Innovation is key! Leading companies like AeroFarms and Kalera are developing energy-efficient LED lighting and implementing smart climate control systems.
They are also exploring alternative power sources like solar and wind.
Beyond Lettuce: Finding Your Niche:
Not all crops thrive vertically. Leafy greens and herbs are the usual suspects, but some companies are pushing boundaries. CubicFarm Systems cultivates strawberries, while Kalera raises Atlantic salmon in their aquaponic systems.
Finding a unique niche market, like high-end restaurants or local grocery stores, can be a game-changer.
The Human Touch: Automation with a Twist:
While automation is crucial, it shouldn’t replace human expertise. Successful farms employ skilled agronomists who understand plant science and can fine-tune growing conditions for optimal yield and quality.
The Future is Vertical (and Bright):
Vertical farming is still in its early stages, but the future looks promising. As technology advances and energy costs decline, profitability will become more attainable.
With a focus on innovation, sustainability, and market differentiation, vertical farms can not only feed the world but also do it in a way that’s good for the planet and our wallets.
So, is vertical farming profitable? The answer, like any good harvest, depends on careful planning, innovation, and a dash of sunshine. While challenges exist, the potential rewards are ripe for the picking. | agronomy |

When I was in elementary school, and would eat an apple, I would save my seeds and on my way out to the playground I would find a piece of dirt and plant them. I never actually saw any of my seeds come up, but just the same… I planted them.
As I got older, I began planting flowers and small vegetable gardens, and when I got brave and understood how to take one seed and turn it into a bountiful harvest, I planted hundreds of pumpkin and corn seeds, and when the harvest arrived in the fall, thousands of visitors would stop by the field, picking their favorite pumpkin and getting lost within the corn.
I love to garden, but truth-be-told, I don’t like to garden because of the crops, but because it’s always been within my garden (whether big or small) where God shows me the simple lessons of life and yesterday I saw something I always want to remember.
In March I walked out to find my dirt ready to be planted, so I did what I always do, grabbed my rake, and got busy drawing the lines of where I would plant my seeds. When I was happy with the design I got busy planting. I always plant my herbs first, my vegetables second, and I finish up with flowers. As always, I have a few flower seeds left over, and instead of saving them I find a spot where they can grow, and over the past several months— they’ve been growing.
Yesterday morning I went out to my garden and noticed something I had never noticed before…
I had a planted a beautiful row of Zinna’s and had a few leftover seeds so I planted them in their own special holes, and yesterday I noticed that the flowers that were planted together are now nearing 5′ tall, and the few plants that I planted alone, are barely 12″ and yet— they were both planted on the same day, and watered and cared for in the same way.
Then this morning as I was reading in Ephesians 4:16, I couldn’t help but smile when I read: 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
I finally understand why God designed corn to grow in groups of 4 seeds and squash to be planted in twos, and so on and so forth, and not that I didn’t understand it before, but because I got to see the “why”.
Everything that God created was created to join together. To work together. To support each other, and to grow and to build up one another in love. And, when each of us start to do our part, that’s when life flourishes, because it’s not that we won’t grow…
Because we will!

It is in the region of Sfax, on November 10th, that will start the season of harvest and transformation of olives. This will create 18000 seasonal employments for a period of 100 days. Tunisia is indeed ranked as the 4th world producer of olive oil right behind Spain, Italy, and Greece. It is also the biggest producer of organic olive oil. Nowadays, Tunisia indeed possesses 285 000 hectares of organic certified land.
The olive and the olive tree have always been the object of researches, both by scientists and by historians, archaeologists and agronomists. In autumn, this activity can be discovered with Autre Tunisie local guides during an Island tour of Djerba | agronomy |

We are located 1 mile south of the Canadian border and 10 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Our family has been in the flower business for many generations. Our great-grandparents grew flower crops outdoors in the Netherlands and our grandparents started greenhouse crops. After Dave and Miek married in the Netherlands they moved to Washington State and started Van Wingerden Greenhouses with his brother Mike in the 1980s. In 1988, Dave and Miek bought an old 80 acre dairy farm and renovated it, starting Pacific Growers on the Markworth Rd.
Pacific Growers is now a large family business. Along with founder, Dave Sr., all of his six children – Kim, Kevin, Dustin, David, Barb and Bensen are fully involved in running the business. Each year they plant and product more than 100,000 hanging baskets, over a million bedding plants and annuals.
We supply quality plants to retailers and large chain stores as far south as California and as far north as Alaska.
Pacific Growers has 2 neighboring locations totaling about 10 acres under glass and about 1 acre outdoor. A new, 5 acre addition, will be complete in late 2020.
Our year begins growing and transplanting plugs into bedding plants and hanging baskets. Our Spring crop includes geraniums, impatiens, petunias, marigolds, and a variety of accent foliage etc. After the busy Spring season starts slowing down, we continue having a selection of things to sell during the summer months. For the Fall we have mums, kale, and other ornamental things for in peoples yards and front porches. Poinsettias are also rooted during this time. Once we transition into Fall, the greenhouses empty out and we do some maintenance before shipping Poinsettias and beginning the cycle again. We have recently added large tropical foliage plants and plan to supply those to our local retailers for the Winter months.
In addition to keeping all of the family members busy, Pacific Growers presently employs over 70 employees from February through June and about 45 employees from July to January.
We are only open to the public for a few Saturdays in the Spring. You can get the dates and hours on the “Directions & Hours” tab above. Contact us | agronomy |

Although this is a tree that does not require special attention, it may have some problems. Therefore, we are going to list the most important lemon tree pests.
Lemon tree pests
Aphids: this type of pest appears when humidity is high and temperatures are above 15 degrees Celsius. Aphids are very small insects, less than 0.5 centimeters long, which are located on flower buds and buds. In this way they do not allow the tree to develop new leaves and cause the lemons to grow deformed, which means that they cannot be consumed.
Cottony Scale: this pest usually appears in summer, as it loves high temperatures and a dry environment and, in turn, this is the time that plants take advantage of to grow as much as possible until the cold weather arrives. Any error in cultivation will lead to the appearance of these parasites, found on the underside of leaves and stems.
Spider mite: this parasite is a very small mite, about 0.5 centimeters in size, red in color, which favors the warm, dry summer environment. The spider mite produces spider webs, by means of which it moves from one leaf to another.
This is a pest that is not very dangerous, but it does weaken plants a lot because it feeds on their cells.
Citrus leafminer: this pest damages the tender shoots of citrus trees. It is a caterpillar that lives on the underside of young leaves under the cuticle, the outermost waterproof layer of the leaves, which provides shelter and protection. It feeds on shoot juices, drying them and preventing trees from renewing their leaves and fruit. | agronomy |

Liu is a rising senior microbiology major at University Park. Staley received a bachelor of landscape architecture degree, and minor in recreation, parks, and tourism management and sustainability, from the University Park campus in May 2018.
Both Liu and Staley were in search of a research topic and they found inspiration on their second day when they traveled with the CHANCE program outside of Havana to Organoponico Vivero Alamar. Here they met a world-renowned organic Cuban farmer, Miguel Salcines. Salcines shared how worm farming was helping to produce some of the best soils possible for his fields and garden beds. His unique system for harvesting food and keeping pests away motivated Liu and Staley.
“It was an absolutely incredible experience to see how this farm, born out of the necessity of the Cuban people’s need for food security and operating on tools that are handmade and irreplaceable, can be so much more advanced than a majority of organic farms in the world,” said Staley.
Salcines introduced the group to the Marabou shrub, which is an invasive plant that becomes a pest in the fields since it outcompetes the crops and provides a real danger to the workers because of the nearly three-inch thorns that grow from its stems. There is currently no management plan for keeping this shrub out of the fields other than pulling them up as they grow.
“Instantly Ethan and I found each other and said, ‘we need to help with this.’ And agreed to make our project about invasive plants," said Stahley. "We were inspired by this farm that was able to profit off of new and abstract ways of reusing or rethinking plants and materials that surpass similar operations across the world. We quickly found examples in Africa of people producing and shipping Marabou charcoal around the globe and knew that if we could compile a compelling argument for the economic utilization of Marabou shrub for farmers, we could turn a pest into profits, and allow the Cuban people to do what they do best: innovate and adapt.”
“As a biologist," said Liu, "I was all too aware of the detrimental consequences that a non-native species can incur upon the critically endemic ecosystems in Cuba and this inspired us to look into applicable solutions."
Liu and Stahley were advised by CHANCE Founder Jacqueline McLaughlin, associate professor of biology at Penn State Lehigh Valley. Both described McLaughlin’s enthusiasm as contagious and motivating during their research.
“The wealth of knowledge she [McLaughlin] possesses concerning environmental policy and sustainability actively inspires you to take the initiative to become an involved global citizen," said Liu. "She is a thorough mentor who challenges you to investigate relevant ecological matters, but also guides you in the field. She is an approachable expert not afraid to get her hands dirty and really aspires to make you understand the dire situation and future of our planet."
“After we returned to the U.S., Dr. McLaughlin communicated to us through email as we were at different campuses, but it honestly was like she was standing with us the whole time because she was so thorough and asked very provocative questions that helped us frame our research," said Stahley. "By far the most compelling advice we received was to think about the people we met when we were working, our project was bigger than us, and to be able to suggest something this economically viable to people we met who might be struggling to get by filled us with the determination to keep refining our research and our goals until we were ready to present our work."
Their mixed-method research, titled "Exploring the Economic Utilization of Invasive Species to Improve the Health of Select Ecosystems in Cuba,” evaluated two of Cuba’s most notorious invasive species: the lionfish and Marabou shrub.
“While in Cuba, we engaged with scientists and farmers who pointed out invasive species and provided an in-depth discussion concerning their impact. Once we identified key disrupters, we examined literature to determine how other regions dealing with invasive species apply solutions to curb their proliferation,” said Liu, “Using market data, we suggested practical solutions that would enable the Cuban people to economically take advantage of consuming these species while also lifting their destructive tendencies on select ecosystems.”
They were awarded the grand prize at the 2018 Undergraduate Research Exhibition. They received the Gerard A. Hauser Award for Best Overall Exhibit Presentation.
“Winning this top honor was not only a testimony of Logan and Ethan’s research scholarship, but also their commitment to global citizenship. This is the goal of Penn State CHANCE: to empower students to devise sustainable solutions to our world’s environmental issues. I was honored to be their mentor,” said McLaughlin.
Both students were shocked to win such a great honor.
“This incredible award is really such an honor to receive, and I was so glad to actually receive recognition for the work that I had done as a student of Penn State,” said Stahley.
“It’s quite humbling, but I was also ecstatic that our research was appreciated and viewed as a viable solution to real-world problems,” said Liu.
The 2018 Undergraduate Research Exhibition was held on April 23 at the HUB-Robeson Center on the University Park campus. This was a record year for the exhibition, with more than 340 registered posters and presentations, an increase of more than 100 from last year’s count. | agronomy |

Working in harmony with the cool climate, their aim is to produce fruit of the highest quality to make distinctive, characterful wines.
Using inspiration drawn from the vineyards in Tuscany and following a long search for the right site, planting began near the family home in Upper Dunsforth in 2016.
The land is now home to four grape varieties, all carefully selected because of their suitability to this northern location - Bacchus, Solaris, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir Précoce.
Four years on, they were delighted to introduce the first harvest wines, Bacchus 2018 and Solaris 2018, available to buy online now or to enjoy at the nearby award-winning restaurant, The Yorke Arms.
In Autumn 2020, they will be releasing the first five vintage sparkling wines and due to their limited supply, you can pre-order now from their online shop.
Dunesforde commissioned this Classic Cuvée for which England is fast becoming renowned in honour of Queen Cartimandua, Queen of the North (AD43-69).
Made by traditional method using a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes harvested in the spectacular summer of 2018. This wine is rich in flavour with all the elegance one would expect from its regal association.
This single variety Solaris follows our highly sought after 2018 and 2019 vintages. Our Solaris grapes were harvested in the summer of 2020 with the best harvest indicators we have ever had, this would suggest our best ever vintage, will be from these grapes.
We estimate that we will produce only 1,000 bottles of still Solaris and these will be available for collection or delivery in July 2021.
This sparkling white has a delicate acidity, displaying citrus notes balanced with a floral aroma, elderflower impressions and a crisp finish
Only 542 individually numbered bottles produced. | agronomy |

Amino acid fertilizer function:
1. Promote nutrient absorption of crops
Glycine is a natural metal chelating agent, which can chelate the insoluble phosphorus elements in the soil and the easily leached potassium ions. It has the function of active phosphorus and potassium conservation, promoting the absorption of phosphorus and potassium elements by crops, thus promoting the growth of stems and leaves, and thus enhancing the light and ability of crops
2. Enhance crop photosynthesis
Glycine is the precursor of chlorophyll a synthesis, which promotes the synthesis of chlorophyll, promotes the leaf to absorb more light energy, and enhances photosynthesis. At the same time, glycine generates 5-aminolevulinic acid with succinic acid coenzyme A under the action of enzymes to prevent abscisic acid and hydrogen peroxide induced stomatal closure, reverse calcium induced stomatal closure, promote the leaf stomatal opening, increase the penetration of carbon dioxide, and thus promote the leaf photosynthesis, Enhance the photosynthetic efficiency and the production of photosynthetic products.
Glycine can also enhance the transmission capacity of photosynthetic electrons and promote the efficiency of photosynthetic pigments to convert light energy into chemical energy. To ensure efficient photosynthesis, increase the sugar content of crops, and at the same time, high content of glycine can make proteins highly flexible and mobile, promote the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds, and make protein molecules have an irregular curly configuration. High hydrophilicity can trap water into cells, protect cells from freezing and severe dehydration, thus improving cold resistance of crops. Glycine can promote growth metabolism and nutrient absorption of crops.
Sichuan Shihong Technology Co., Ltd. has been focusing on amino acid based fertilizers and personal care materials for over a decade. Our amino acid powder and amino acid solution are the main raw materials for amino acid foliar fertilizers, and can also be directly used for crop fertilization, base fertilizer, and base fertilizer application. There are two types of raw materials for selection: animal fur and fish protein; Another soybean or soybean meal. For amino acid raw powder, we have a variety of production processes to choose from, including enzymatic hydrolysis, hydrochloric acid hydrolysis, sulfuric acid hydrolysis, etc. We can produce amino acid powder without chloride ions.

Our goal ?
Provide each farmer with the opportunity to access commercial machinery, equipment, products and services for ecologically compatible, economically viable – affordable agriculture adapted to the local realities of Africa.
Our platform is open to all companies and organizations wishing to buy, sell products or services in the field of agriculture and livestock in tropical and subtropical areas.
In Latin America, we are based in Brazil but we also cover Mexico, Colombia and Argentina if necessary.
MECHANIZATION IN WEST AFRICA
In West Africa, the labor force depends in an overwhelming majority of physical strength with the use of hand tools like the hoe to perform the various cultural operations. These tools have implicit limits in terms of energy and yield potential, especially in a tropical environment. These methods considerably limit the area that can be exploited per family. They are delaying agricultural operations and limiting the effectiveness of essential activities such as cultivation and weeding, and consequently reduce yields.
The most common agricultural machines are tractors, combine harvesters, threshers, manure spreaders, fertilizer spreaders, plows, cultivators, seeders and planters. Nigeria has the highest total volume, followed by Côte d’Ivoire and Guinea. When we are interested in the number of tractors used per hectare, Côte d’Ivoire is at the forefront with nearly 3 tractors per 1,000 hectares, followed by Guinea (Sources : FAO and Syngenta Foundation)
Financing the mechanization of agriculture in West Africa remains a major challenge. Existing financial models include rental, donation, government subsidy, collective ownership and leasing with a purchase option. For leasing with option to purchase, operators make regular payments (through a loan or cash payment) over a fixed period and become owners at the end of the payment.
An interesting feature in the recent evolution of the situation is that the actors involved in the value chain are now engaged in mechanization. Agricultural processors and traders are increasingly making it easier for farmers to access machines for harvesting, cleaning and sorting. In addition, agri-food companies are working with upstream and downstream supply chain partners; They provide diversified mechanized support ranging from soil preparation to harvesting and processing. | agronomy |

It is specially formulated cocopeat based inoculant for organic composting. Comprising of selectively isolated microbial strains that can enhance the decomposition process and convert organic wastes into high value organic manure.
Microbial Cocopeat contains naturally derived enzymes and Saprophytic bacteria originally derived from soil which utilize only non-living organic matter as a food source, It is a unique combination of mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria, molds and yeasts, consisting different types of microbial cultures, all of which occur naturally in soil, but in very small numbers.
Why should you opt for Microbial Cocopeat?
- Odourless process
- Fast composting period
- High quality final compost
- Improved land application
- Excellent soil conditioner
The process involves adding all the wet waste (vegetarian, non-vegetarian, diary, vegetable and fruit scraps etc) to a specially designed composting cage, (shown below) spreading it evenly and then adding a layer of Microbial Cocopeat, followed by a layer of dry leaves. There is no churning or stirring necessary. Compost can be obtained in about 25-30 days.
How does Microbial Cocopeat control odour?
- Odour emission during composting is due to the release of hydrogen sulphide or ammonia during the degradation process.
- Sometimes the odour may be due to the metabolic pathway of the degrading organism which is dominating the system at that point of time.
- An over-abundance of anaerobic microbes in the compost pile leads to putrefaction and emission of foul odour from the compost pile
- Microbial Cocopeat Compost accelerator contains special strains that do not cause putrefaction during the degradation pathway.
- These beneficial microbes ensure that there is no or minimal production of ammonia and hydrogen sulphide, thus eliminating the concerns of strong foul odours emanating from the compost pile. | agronomy |

I have kale, spinach, and carrot sprouts. The raspberry bush has come back from the brink and is looking good again (we were worried about it for a while). Additionally, we recently planted zucchini and bean sprouts. So exciting!
Soil quality is showing improvement. I recently mixed my first batch of compost into one of the beds and the difference between that bed and the compost-less one is extremely clear.
The most recent change is half functional, half aesthetic. Using some scrap wood and a few new boards I created frames around the beds. Once the frames were installed I still had a lot of grass creeping under and over the framing. To kill the grass (and make it look better) I laid down cardboard and put mulch over it. A little before and after:
Before framing and mulch.
You can see the kale and spinach coming up!
This is where things last weekend (two bags of mulch didn’t quite do it). Tovah, being a sweet heart, got another bag of mulch and covered the remaining cardboard.
I’m loving working in the garden. It will be even better when I get to eat something from it! | agronomy |

Keivan Kashefi continued in the 68th session of the Government-Private Sector Negotiation Council: "Achieving this rank is due to the appropriate number of sessions as well as their expert aspect. In addition, we experienced the highest growth among the country’s provinces in terms of position promotion."
The necessity for mechanization of agricultural equipment
Kashefi then stressed the necessity for mechanization of agricultural equipment and called for more coordination among the departments in this area and the cooperation of banks.
He believes that the mechanization of agricultural equipment will pave the way for a leap in production in the agricultural sector.
Emphasizing the necessity to provide the conditions for a leap in production in the agricultural sector in the continuation of the meeting, the Kermanshah Province governor said: we must move from traditional agriculture and livelihood towards industrial and economic agriculture.
Houshang Bazvand mentioned agriculture as one of the great capacities of the province's expansion and continued: the province's agriculture should not be solely for the purpose of cultivating crops and livelihood, but we should move towards industrial and economic agriculture. | agronomy |

Have you ever questioned where the name “stink bug” originates? The stink bug has a scent gland that is on its abdomen’s top. They are typically known for the foul smell that they make. Stink bugs feed on the sap produced from crops and plants.
Adult stink bugs are smaller than one inch in length. They have different colors of brown on both the bottom and top surfaces. The body shape is like a shield. The eggs of stink bugs are a shaped like a barrel that is a yellow-red color.
The female will deposit these eggs in leaves, about 25 eggs at a time. Stink bugs go through five stages before they get to adulthood. The eggs will hatch around five days after being deposited.
In New York, the stink bug creates one generation per year based on the environment and temperatures. However, it is not unusual during warmer months for stink bugs to produce two or three generations a year. It all depends on how warm the temps are and how long they last.
During late spring, adult stink bugs will begin to appear. Mating will start, and the females will begin depositing her eggs on the leaves. Adult stink bugs will begin the practice of finding sites to stay during the wintertime.
Gaps around electrical outlets, air conditioner pipes, ceiling fans, ceiling light fixtures, skylights, window frames, and weep holes are all possible entry sites. Ask about our pest control treatments that will help resolve any stink bug issue and stop other pest problems. If stink bugs get inside your property, don’t try to get rid of them with a vacuum. After going down the vacuum hose, you will have a noticeable smell, and you will likely need to replace the hose. | agronomy |

It may go without saying that your tree will need water immediately after it’s planted in your yard. Without sufficient water, your tree will not survive! The most important question is, “How much water?” Newly planted trees do not like too much water, and they surely do not like drought conditions. Here’s a quick reference to help you out.
Watch the Weather
One thing that will determine how much you water your tree is the weather. If you get a decent amount of rain, you will not need to water your tree as much. If it rains quite a bit, you will likely not need to water your tree for a couple days. Hopefully you get some good rain that will help give your new trees what they need. If not, become familiar with the next section so you know how to water properly.
Put some water on it
Check the Soil
The best way to know if your tree needs water is to check the ground below it.
One way to do this is to dig down along the root ball to check the consistency of the ground. If you discover that it’s cool to the touch and has a soft play-dough like feel, you’re in good shape. If the dirt crumbles in your hand, it’s time to water.
Another way to check the soil is to take a long screwdriver (4 inches or longer) and poke it into the ground about 10 inches from the trunk. If the ground is moist, the screwdriver will go in pretty easily. If you can’t poke it in easily at least 6 inches, it’s time to water.
Watch Your Tree Grow
It typically takes up to two years before your new tree is fully established in the ground as it should be.
When the tree is planted, the roots are compacted from being in the root ball. Over time and with sufficient water, these roots will begin to expand into the earth around the tree. | agronomy |

On this project we were appointed by a dredging contractor to carry out emergency aquatic weed harvesting works to help stabilise a 15 mile section of the Taunton canal, following summer flooding and subsequent landslides.
We worked in conjunction with another aquatic weed specialist who operated a Truxor cutting workboat. This boat only dealt with collection of cut weed as it was unable to cut to the depths required. However as our Conver workboat can easily cut to depths of up to 15 feet, we successfully cut bottom weed and in addition, removed much of the root system. Using the front end loader, we then collected and removed the weed from the water to restore it to original state.
Delivering excellent manoeuvrability in all conditions and incorporating a choice of weed cutting and weed removal attachments including trailing knives, t-cutter bar and weed rakes.
Our versatile, efficient workboats provide the ideal method for the removal of debris, floating and submerged pond weeds in lakes, canals and watercourses throughout the UK. | agronomy |

In the past two months alone, four states have legalized recreational marijuana, bringing the total to 17 states and the District of Columbia (medical marijuana is legal in 36 states). Most of the industry interest is focused on the human health effects of cannabis, its potential tax revenue and what decriminalization means for drug policy.
Yet most people aren’t paying much attention to the environmental impacts of the cannabis industry. In Colorado, for example, the weed industry accounts for 1.3 percent of the state’s total annual carbon emissions, according to the state’s Department of Public Health and Environment. This is similar to emissions from coal mining and trash collection for the entire state.
Currently, there is little to no regulation on emissions for growing cannabis indoors, and as the industry continues to expand rapidly, it’s important to consider how it’s affecting our planet’s health.
Growing weed indoors requires a lot of energy and where you grow it matters
Cannabis is grown indoors for several reasons including security, year-round growth and quality control. But it turns out that indoor cannabis production is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.
The lights used to grow weed indoors use a lot of electricity, but facilities also require a lot of energy to maintain a comfortable environment for the plants. Cannabis plants want to be grown in a warm and low-humidity environment regardless of blizzards or heat waves that are happening outside, so they need heaters or air conditioners to maintain proper temperatures. Producers also pump carbon dioxide indoors to increase the rate of photosynthesis and increase plant growth. This added C02 accounts for 11 to 25 percent of facilities’ greenhouse gas emissions.
But the biggest energy use comes from constantly bringing fresh air into growing facilities, since proper ventilation is essential for fueling photosynthesis and preventing pests and mold. That’s because cannabis performs photosynthesis much faster than your typical house plant (cannabis plants can grow inches per day!). The HVAC equipment essentially acts as their lungs — it expels oxygen so that the plants aren’t “poisoned.” All of this outside air needs to be treated so that it is the correct temperature and humidity. This is a very energy-intensive process since the air exchange rate — or how many times the air is replaced in the grow facility per hour — is typically so high.
All of these inputs contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, and our new study — we are sustainability researchers based at Colorado State University — shows that the environmental effects vary significantly depending on where it is being grown.
Using US Department of Energy, US Environmental Protection Agency and industry data, we found that growing cannabis indoors leads to higher greenhouse gas emissions in the Mountain West, Midwest, Alaska and Hawaii compared to the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. That’s because climates are milder on the coasts, so you need less heating or air conditioning and because the electric grids use more clean energy. For example, places like California, New York, New England, Pacific Northwest and Florida have a good amount of renewable energy sources whether it be solar, wind, nuclear or hydro. These clean energy sources lower overall greenhouse gas emissions because they don’t produce emissions while generating electricity.
Cannabis grown in Southern California has the lowest emissions, at 143 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent per ounce of dried cannabis, which is roughly equivalent to burning 7 gallons of gasoline. Meanwhile, eastern O’ahu in Hawaii has the highest emissions, at 324 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent per ounce — which is comparable to driving 370 miles in a vehicle.
The cannabis industry is growing rapidly, and there’s much we don’t know about its impact
The US cannabis industry is expected to continue to grow by about 16 percent annually. However, the industry is so new that we researchers don’t even know how much of it will be grown indoors.
On top of that, every indoor operation is unique. Some are old warehouses using outdated equipment, while others are much more energy-efficient.
Growing cannabis outdoors or in greenhouses that have natural light could be one way to remove the need for lights and environmental controls. However, researchers don’t know the greenhouse gas emissions associated with these growth methods either. For example, moving outdoors could introduce a new set of environmental concerns including pesticide runoff, illegal water diversion and deforestation. All these unknowns will probably make it hard to develop effective policies or best management practices.
Is it possible to grow cannabis in a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective way? Not sure — we’re gathering the data
Our team’s goal is to better quantify and communicate the environmental impact of cannabis production so policymakers, growers and consumers can be informed. One way to do this is to show consumers the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced per serving of tetrahydrocannabinol, the chemical that produces the “high.”
Our preliminary results show that a single serving of THC that was grown indoors — roughly 10 mg of dried cannabis — is likely to have higher greenhouse gas emissions than a serving of beer, wine, spirits, coffee or cigarettes, regardless of the location the weed was grown.
Our team is also interested in understanding where cannabis could be grown if and when federal legalization happens in the US. Legalization could allow policymakers and producers to cultivate it in areas and in ways that are greener and cheaper, as long as they have the knowledge to do so.

The sight of bare ground appearing as the snow melts makes us itch to sink our hands into the soil and get things growing. Most of us have to remind ourselves rather sternly that spring is still weeks away.
Many gardeners start planning their gardens while the snow is still flying. Especially vegetable gardeners, since most of what they plant grows, produces, and dies all in one year, and they get to start new every spring. For some of us, before we can start thinking of plants, we think of garden beds.
In my case, raised beds. My yard is home to not only vegetables and flowers, but a very large dog. Raised beds were the easiest way to get him to stay out of my veggie gardens. I built my first raised beds eight years ago, and last spring I promised myself that it would be the last time I shored up the sides with stakes. This year I have to start over.
This time I’m doing it right. I’m going to build raised beds that drain better and are varmint resistant – no more free dinners for moles. I’m not building a raised bed in the soupiest part of the yard this time either. In that spot I’m going to try creating a rain garden to let Mother Nature deal with her bounty.
Thankfully, the Iowa City Public Library has a great collection of gardening books – from planning guides to plant care and everything in between. Two of the new books that are helping me with my planning as I wait for spring:
The vegetable gardener’s book of building projects: raised beds, cold frames, compost bins, planters, plant supports, trellises, harvesting and storage aids, by Cindy Littelfield and Kevin Ayer, c2010. For a gardener with a bit of DIY experience and a few power tools, the 39 projects in this book can help you transform your yard and gardens.
Rain gardens: sustainable landscaping for a beautiful yard and a healthy world by Lynn M. Steiner and Robert W. Domm, c2012. This well written and easy to follow guide to rain gardens starts with a thorough introduction to storm water and rain gardens, and follows with chapters on planning, building, planting and maintaining your garden. Plant suggestions are given throughout, and a large plant index of perennials, grasses, shrubs and trees follows. Features lots of color photographs and illustrations throughout.
Other new gardening books for the spring:
The Complete Guide to Greenhouses & Garden Projects: greenhouses, cold frames, compost bins, trellises, planting beds, potting benches & more created by the editors of Creative Publishing in cooperation with Black & Decker, c2011.
The essential guide to creating rain gardens: capturing rain for your own water-efficient garden by Cleo Woelfle-Erskine and Apryl Uncapher, c2012.

A weed is any plant that grows where people don’t want it to grow. For example, when we plant a lawn, we don’t want other plants growing in the lawn. Other plants spoil the appearance of the lawn, and take minerals and water from the soil that the lawn needs. So we call any other undesired plant a weed.
Plants whose seeds scatter easily are usually called weeds because they come up in many unwanted places. However, weeds are not always useless. Some serve as food for wildlife. Also, weeds hold the soil in place, and help to prevent erosion.
Many plants that people widely regard as weeds also are intentionally grown in gardens and other cultivated settings. The term also is applied to any plant that grows or reproduces aggressively, or is invasive outside its native habitat.
While the term “weed” generally has a negative connotation, many plants known as weeds can have beneficial properties. A number of weeds, such as the dandelion and lamb’s quarter, are edible, and their leaves or roots may be used for food or herbal medicine. Burdock is common over much of the world, and is sometimes used to make soup and medicine in East Asia.
Some weeds attract beneficial insects, which in turn can protect crops from harmful pests. Weeds can also prevent pest insects from finding a crop, because their presence disrupts the incidence of positive cues which pests use to locate their food. | agronomy |

Cannabis is an annual plant, its flowering period is decided by the seasons and when the cycle ends, the plant dies. Cannabis crops cease growing in dimension and begin to flower and produce buds in Autumn when the times https://buyweedseedsonline.com/weed-seeds-new-jersey/ grow shorter. Seeds from all kinds of vegetation and timber present similar variations in their appearance. These genetics, together with the setting you present, will management the terpenes, cannabinoids, yield and potency of your eventual cannabis harvest.
Sunlight will cause hashish seeds to dry out, which can make them less viable and extra prone to spoil. Most hashish strains are hybrids, which means that they include a combine of genetics from totally different elements of the world. This can be a good factor, as hybrid weed plants sometimes benefit from hybrid vigor, and will outgrow inbred hashish strains. Female plants are desirable for production of fragrant flowers, and males are usually culled to avoid seeding.
You can get 10 further seeds on orders above $420 and an anticipated USA supply time of just 7-14 days should you go for the categorical discreet shipping with monitoring. False seedbed method is predicated on the precept of using soil disturbance to provoke weed emergence and use shallow tillage as an alternative of herbicide as a weed management methodology before crop institution. False seedbed by inter cultivation decreased weed density and dry weight in finger millet (Patil et al., 2013).

Mother Clucker Farms is a family-owned and operated farm that specializes in the production of fresh, free range chicken and duck eggs. We started this journey as a hobby farm in early 2019 for the sole purpose of producing eggs for our family. From that first batch of chickens the dream of providing fresh and higher quality eggs for people was hatched.
In late 2019 we added four additional chickens to the flock and in 2020 we added over seventy new chickens, seven ducks and thirteen pigs to our farm! 2021 never slowed down. We added over 50 new chickens, 7 more ducks and started raising and processing meat birds.
We are even more eggcited to see what this year is going to lay out for us and we look forward to providing your family the best cluckin' eggs and meat around!
According to the USDA, the nutrient quality between store-bought eggs and farm fresh eggs is startling!
Pasture-raised eggs are 10% less fatty than store-bought eggs. They also contain 34% less cholesterol, 40% more vitamin A, and 400% more omega-3 fatty acids.
An egg from a pastured hen also has 30% more Vitamin-E and produce positive HDL (good cholesterol) and lower "bad" triglycerides.
Eggs are also the ONLY food that naturally contains Vitamin-D, which is greater and healthier in a pasture-fed chickens. | agronomy |

We here at Alterra serve Dallas, Richardson, Plano, Frisco, McKinney and Prosper Texas and what we wanted to touch on today was the importance of drainage holes in your planters. One issue that is really prominent that we have personally seen dozens of times, is that these built in drainage holes are getting clogged up and the excess water cannot properly drain out. When this happens, the excess water saturates the soil and eliminates those air pockets that your plants desperately need to survive and thrive.
Your plants are going to be immensely happier and thrive so much better if you can increase the drainage of the soil itself. Be sure and choose quality soil that you KNOW drains well. If you have any questions about this, Alterra, the best landscape company in North Texas, is always happy to help and guide you to the right soil to use. If you feel that your plants still need more drainage, one way to fix this, is to put gravel down inside of your planters on top of where the drainage holes are. Layering this gravel with your high quality soil is probably the best way to ensure that this process is successful.
As previously stated, we are always happy to help and teach our customers the Alterra way. Remember – Alterra is the best landscape design firm in North Texas! | agronomy |

BEIRUT – In 1980, the late, former Syrian president Hafez al-Assad famously declared that, “To lie amidst the spikes of grain or on the threshing floor is, in my eyes, worth all the palaces in the world.” By investing heavily in agriculture (and draining his country’s precious groundwater), he succeeded in making Syria a net exporter of wheat – a rarity in a region where most countries import about 70 to 80 percent of their food. The gains from this increased wheat production reached up to $350 million a year. His son, Bashar, the current president of Syria, carried on the tradition, with somewhat less success.
But the Assads aren’t the only ones who understand the market value of wheat. When the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) made its unprecedented expansion across Iraq and Syria in the summer of 2014, most of the land it grabbed was in the northeastern Jazira region – the heart of the Fertile Crescent, historically known as the breadbasket of Rome. By 2015, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, at least one-third of the country’s wheat production lay outside government control. (Syrian sources believe the number is much higher.) The biggest portion belonged to ISIS.
The armed group sold Syria’s wheat to Iraq, to traders in southern Turkey and even back to the government. Even Donald Trump knows that oil revenues are ISIS’ “main source of income,” as he pointed out recently. (Actually, the Pentagon stated back in February that oil wasn’t the group’s main source of revenue any more.) But analysts have suspected for a long time that the group may be getting a significant portion of its revenues from agriculture.
Until now, accurate figures were hard to come by. But this year, two academic researchers who work on food and water decided to apply techniques that are widely used in archaeology, meteorology, environmental resource management and military campaigns to map inaccessible areas. Eckart Woertz and Hadi Jaafar used geographic information system (GIS) mapping and remote sensing – data collected by satellite, in this case indices of vegetation growth – to calculate the amount of agricultural production in ISIS territory and the amount of revenue from it.
They found that while drought and conflict had had some impact on crops, agriculture in ISIS territory had remained more resilient – and lucrative – than previously thought. They estimated that ISIS made about $56 million from taxation on wheat and barley alone. The total value of the 2.45 million tons (2.22 million metric tonnes) of wheat from ISIS territory, they calculated, was roughly equal to the group’s annual oil revenue during its heyday in late 2014 and early 2015 (estimated at roughly $2 million a day). Like the Syrian government, ISIS is a net cereal exporter – and may get almost as much revenue, at least in Syria, from the spikes of grain above the ground as the black gold underneath.
Syria Deeply spoke with Woertz, a senior research fellow at the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs, about his and Jaafar’s investigation into ISIS’ wheat revenue, and what it might mean for Syria’s agricultural sector.
Syria Deeply: What sparked this idea?
Eckart Woertz: The idea was simply to take a look at agriculture as a funding source of ISIS. Immediately after the ISIS takeover in summer 2014, I wrote a research note, “How Long Will ISIS Last Economically?” Later on, I bumped into Hadi [Jaafar]; I really liked his work on the Orontes Valley. I thought it would be interesting to see what’s going on in ISIS territory, because you hear a lot that they use water as a weapon, and that dams were important for them. But essentially nobody can travel there.
Oil income has been important, and still is to a certain extent. But first of all, it has suffered dramatically; and secondly, it was never that big as has been sometimes portrayed in the media. Syrian oil production was never large by the region’s standards. It’s a low-quality oil, so it takes considerable know-how to maintain production.
While we do not want to deny the importance of other sources, it is a simple fact that ISIS has accidentally, or intentionally, occupied the former breadbaskets of [Iraq and Syria]. Agriculture is the dominant form of economic activity in this part of the two countries. A lot of the ISIS income initially relied on looting and confiscations. But you can sell a looted archaeological artifact only once. You can get ransom for a hostage only once.
Syria Deeply: Do you think it’s a possibility that ISIS occupied these territories intentionally, because of the agricultural revenue?
Woertz: It’s always speculation, but in the jihad manual “The Management of Savagery” (“Idarat al-Tawahhush”), which has a cult following among ISIS followers, agriculture plays an important role in the strategic thinking. The idea is to establish a stronghold in the countryside first, in order to, first of all, have access to agriculture and resources; but also to lure government troops out of the city, and then take over power later on.
Syria Deeply: I’m sure you saw the recent FAO figures that this year’s wheat crop was half of last year’s. Would it be accurate to say that ISIS has done a better job of maintaining agricultural production in its territory than the Syrian government overall?
Woertz: No, not necessarily. I wouldn’t put it that strongly. They wouldn’t have the means to build or maintain an advanced agricultural system. It’s not like they would have established their own seed-distribution program, or fertilizer-distribution program, as far as I can see or tell. And that’s an issue, especially seeds. Seeds usually decline in quality after three to four planting seasons. So there’s a huge issue now in Syria, that the system of seed provisioning has been disrupted.
Let’s do the math. If this thing is disrupted now for the third year, we are pretty close to a breaking point where we might see more serious issues in terms of agriculture production that are not only attributable to immediate impact of conflict – displaced farmers and so on – but also due to disruption of input supplies.
This disruption of seed provision is especially pertinent in non-government-held areas. But also within government-held areas. The whole system has collapsed. Whole agricultural supply chains have been disrupted to considerable extent. And that actually should have a high priority in any post-ISIS reconstruction stage – that people would think, “How can we reestablish some sort of functioning agricultural system?”
Syria Deeply: What do you think that’s going to take? What would be your recommendation, based on this amazing data you guys have compiled, to the international policy community?
Woertz: That’s a million-dollar question. You need to have a pretty good settlement, yeah? Any post-reconstruction, agriculture and food security need to have a really high priority. Both Iraq and Syria still have a relatively large share of rural population, among the overall population, especially in these parts of the country that have fallen to ISIS control. We really need to attribute great importance to that: rehabilitating supply chains, having good nutrition programs, school meals. That’s money well spent.

But while most are satisfied with their basmati and doobar, there is one man whose quest is to trace and preserve the paddy that is not commonly eaten or seen. Debal Deb has been for more than 15 years saving the most uncommon of the common rice.
Back in 1995 when Debal was working at WWF he came across a study which reported that the gene pool of almost 90 per cent of local rice varieties in the country had been wiped out since the Green Revolution in 1965. Deb was aghast and found it hard to believe that while the country was concentrating on saving the tigers and the rhinos, no one seemed to notice the mass devastation of species that were no less important.
Retrieve and Preserve
Debal quit WWF and in 1996 began travelling across West Bengal in search for the rare varieties of rice that could be still saved. He shifted base to a remote town called Baliatore in Bankura district of West Bengal bordering Jharkhand.
“That was all I could afford after quitting my job. Also Baliatore was well-connected to three districts — Vardhaman, Purulia and West Medinipur — where marginalised, tribal farmers grew rare rice varieties. I decided to collect rare rice seeds from them and distribute them to other ‘modern’ farmers around West Bengal to encourage production,” he says.
Till date the lone rice savior has distributed the endemic rice varieties to over 1,200 farmers across West Bengal, Orissa, Jharkhand, Assam, Bihar, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. But the challenge was never easy.
When Debal began his mission, he started contacting tribal farmers who still grew the local and wild varieties of rice because that is what they could afford. These farmers also did not have access to modern pesticides and grew what they knew would grow well in their localities. Debal took the grains from these farmers and began distributing it to other farmers without charging them any fee for the seeds.
Deb thought that the grains were not his to begin with and what he was doing was simply spreading the reach of the local seeds so that they did not die out. But soon he found that the farmers, whom he gave the seeds to, did not take much interest in sowing the seeds.
“I realised they didn’t value the seeds because they came free.”
That’s when, in 2001, he bought 1.8 acres of land in Bankura and started a seed farm called Vasudha.
“Commercially, we have no access to more than 860 rare folk rice seed varieties. I grow 600 varieties at Vasudha and, in Orissa alone, more than 200 farmers receive over 150 varieties of rice seeds,” he says.
The ecologist has an untiring devotion to his mission. That is why he keeps travelling to remote parts of the country to gain access to seeds that are not commercially available but grown by tribal farmers in some offbeat destination.
“Once, I walked 13 km in search of a farmer who had a rare folk rice seed. But when I reached his home, he had passed away. His son then destroyed his folk rice seeds and ‘modernised’ the setup,” he rues. “I am against the attitude that all things modern are good while everything that is traditional is unscientific — so let’s convert our farming regardless of the damage to productivity.”
The Hardy Survivors
Debal strongly feels that the local and wild varieities of rice might not be given huge yields but are much more resilient. He gives the example of the floods of South Bengal. He says that while the hybrid crops of rice are annually destroyed in the floods, the rare varieties survive.
“There are eight old, rare folk rice seed varieties that can be cultivated even if your farm has been washed away by a flood and the water level has reached up to 15 ft. The stem of this variety rises up to 18 ft, and no modern hybrid seed can boast of this.”
In Jharkhand, Deb distributes 15 seed varieties that can be grown in laterite soil even if the area receives 20 mm rainfall. In 2009, after the Aila storm devastated the Sunderbans, Deb distributed folk seed varieties to the farmers there, and rice grew just fine.
Presently, the ecologist works as a visiting faculty in various foreign universities, which are the only source of his income. He also regularly conducts workshops for farmers about community ethos and its role in preserving traditional methods. With his help, villagers in over 12 districts of West Bengal have formed 2,000 sacred groves (forest fragments that have a significant religious connotation for the community that vows to protect it).
“Construction of roads and power lines destroys these areas which are home to many endangered species of plants and animals,” says Deb.
But Debal does not think the urban elite will understand his mission.
“I am more comfortable working with farmers, because they can directly take this cause ahead. I am not really sure how many members of the urban elite will change their lifestyle to preserve rice seeds,” he says, with a smile.
He might be wrong in this assumption. If urban society is more open to using rice varieties that are local and not the standard commercial crops, the farmers might get the boost they need to give equal importance to these species. But while this scenario is yet to become a reality, Debal Deb continues to save the grains for the future.

BATTLE CREEK, MICH., Oct. 13, 2016 – Kellogg Company today announced a new goal to create 3 billion Better Days for people around the world by fighting hunger and feeding potential through the company’s global purpose platform Breakfasts for Better Days™.
John Bryant, Kellogg Company Chairman and CEO, emphasized the company’s long-range commitments to food security today in his remarks during the Borlaug Dialogue International Symposium and World Food Prize ceremony in Des Moines, Iowa, in advance of World Food Day, October 16. This year marked the 30th anniversary of the World Food Prize, established by Nobel Laureate Dr. Norman E. Borlaug as a major summit on global hunger and food security.
“Through Breakfasts for Better Days, we are fighting hunger every day and, at the same time, partnering with farmers and others who will play important roles creating longer-term solutions to these challenges for generations to come,” said Bryant. “As a global food company, we are passionate about doing our part to make sure there is enough food for everyone in a world with a growing population and increasingly limited natural resources.”
To create 3 billion Better Days by 2025, the company’s five key commitments through Breakfasts for Better Days include:
1. Donating food to people in need, including 2.5 billion servings of food in partnerships with hundreds of food banks in
Canada and across five continents;
2. Expanding breakfast programs so that 2 million children across Canada and worldwide can get the best start to their day;
3. Supporting 500,000 farmers, their families and communities with Climate Smart Agriculture practices to increase yields,
improve climate resiliency and reduce post-harvest food loss and food waste;
4. Committing to 45,000 volunteer days by Kellogg employees at their local community food banks, community farms and
breakfast programs; and
5. Engaging 300 million people to join Kellogg in its hunger relief efforts, through Kellogg commercial promotions,
engagement online and social media participation.
“In the global food industry, Kellogg Company continues to demonstrate outstanding leadership in addressing our common goals to reduce hunger, improve food systems, and support farmers around the world,” said Kenneth M. Quinn, president of the World Food Prize Foundation and former U.S. Ambassador to Cambodia.
“At Kellogg, we share people’s passion about where their food comes from, the people who grow and make it, and that there is enough food for everyone,” said Kris Charles, Kellogg Company Senior Vice President, Global Corporate Affairs. “Through this next generation of our Breakfasts for Better Days global purpose platform, we’re not only honoring our heritage of philanthropy and conservation, but also fulfilling our company’s purpose of nourishing families so they can flourish and thrive.”
Through Breakfasts for Better Days, which launched in 2013, Kellogg Company will have helped to provide more than 1.9 billion servings of food to people in need – exceeding its original goal to provide 1 billion servings by the end of 2016. To date, Kellogg Canada has donated more than 3 million dollars and 30 million servings of cereal and snacks to national breakfast partners like Breakfasts Club Canada and Food Banks Canada. The company has also already supported the livelihoods of thousands of farmers around the world, including smallholders and women. The company’s new goal to provide 3 billion Better Days for people around the world by 2025 connects this important work of fighting hunger and sustainability through its Breakfasts for Better Days purpose platform.

ABSTRACT. The trials were conducted at the National Horticultural Research Institute, lbadan, during the rainy seasons of 2007 and 2008 to determine the potential of 5 % aqueous extracts of the leaves of Momordica charantia (L.), bulb of garlic, Allium sativum (L.), plus fruit of chilli pepper, Capsicum annum (L.) [15 g : 3 gin 1 L of water l and lambda cyhalothrin (Karate x EC ; 0.5L/ ha) for controlling the green peach aphid [Myzus persicae (Sulzer)] and Cercospora leaf spot on three varieties of pepper: Kano. Katsina, and Gombe local, in a 3 x 4 factorial experiment. In the two years of study. there were insignificant varietal differences in
aphid infestation and also insignificant interaction between varieties and spray treatments on aphid infestation and leaf spot severity. M charantia and garlic-pepper sprays were significantly (P=0.05) more effective in reducing the green peach aphids on pepper than lambda cyhalothrin which had mean aphid infestation score of 3.20 in 2007 and 3.13 in 2008. Sprayed plots had significantly less severe disease than the control plots. There were significant (P=0.05) varietal differences in leaf spot severity score with Katsina local variety showing tolerance (severity score of 3.98 in 2007 and 4.05 in 2008); the highest number of fruits/plant (4.97 in 2007 and 4.33 in 2008): and the highest mean weight of fruits/ plant (0.98 kg in 2007 and 0.55 kg in 2008). | agronomy |

Committed to The Success of Farmers
Our Rich History
Our journey started in the year 1942 in a small village named Masina, when Masina Concern was purchased by the Misra Family Patriarch Shri Atma Ram Misra. In 1959, his sons, Shri Data Ram Misra and Anirudh Kumar Misra laid the foundation of Messina Beej Nigam and contributed to the Green Revolution of India.
Late. Shri Atma Ram Misra was a visionary and a philanthropist, who used his expertise in the selection of superior strains of seeds, vegetables and grains to build a successful business. His son, Late. Shri Data Ram Misra, with his philosophy of Collective development, worked in the community to build a base of producing farmers. Rather than individual gains, he focussed on the incomes of the community that he was part of. This approach helped him yield dividends for the organisation as well as for the farmers.
Now, the business is owned and managed by his family for four generations.
A Vision For the Future
Today, we are one of the renowned brands in the market that supplies high-quality seeds. We are known as the Pioneers of Winter Maize in Bihar. By providing reliable seeds, we have brought the Winter Maize Revolution in Bihar, wherein our journey has been facilitated by many eminent personalities and institutions.

You have come to the right place as I am going to tell you everything about MOP price in a very simple explanation. Without further discussion let’s begin to know what is MOP price?
In the world of agriculture and fertilizers, the term “MOP price” holds significance for farmers, agronomists, and industry experts alike. MOP stands for Muriate of Potash, which is a common potassium-based fertilizer used to enrich soil fertility and promote plant growth. In this blog post, we will delve into the meaning and significance of MOP price, its determinants, and its impact on agricultural practices and the fertilizer industry as a whole.
What Is MOP Price?
MOP price refers to the cost or market value of Muriate of Potash. It is the price at which this particular fertilizer is traded and sold in the market. As a crucial input in modern agriculture, MOP plays a vital role in maintaining soil health and ensuring optimal crop growth by supplying potassium, an essential nutrient for plants.
Determinants Of MOP Price:
Several factors influence the determination of MOP price in the market. Some of the key determinants include:
- Supply and Demand Dynamics: The balance between the global supply and demand for MOP significantly affects its price. Factors such as crop patterns, weather conditions, and agricultural practices in major consuming regions can influence the demand for MOP. Simultaneously, the production capacity of MOP, availability of raw materials, and geopolitical factors impacting the supply chain can affect the overall market dynamics.
- Currency Exchange Rates: Since MOP is traded internationally, fluctuations in currency exchange rates can impact its price. A stronger local currency relative to the currencies of exporting countries can make MOP imports costlier, potentially affecting its market price.
- Production Costs: The cost of extracting and processing potash ores, transportation expenses, labor costs, energy prices, and regulatory factors related to mining and production can all influence the production costs of MOP. These production costs, in turn, can affect the market price of MOP.
Impact Of MOP Price On Agriculture And The Fertilizer Industry:
- Farmer Economics: Fluctuations in MOP price can directly impact the cost of agricultural inputs for farmers. As MOP is a widely used potassium fertilizer, changes in its price can influence the overall cost of fertilizer application, potentially affecting farmers’ profitability and decision-making regarding fertilizer usage.
- Crop Yield and Quality: MOP plays a crucial role in promoting plant growth, root development, and fruit quality. Adequate potassium levels in the soil are essential for optimal crop yield and quality. Changes in MOP price can indirectly affect farmers’ ability to access and use this vital nutrient, potentially impacting crop productivity.
- Fertilizer Industry Dynamics: MOP price fluctuations can influence the overall dynamics of the fertilizer industry. Fertilizer manufacturers and distributors closely monitor MOP price trends to adjust their production, inventory management, and pricing strategies accordingly. Changes in MOP price can impact the profitability and competitiveness of fertilizer companies.
MOP price is a critical factor in the agriculture and fertilizer industry, influencing the economics of farming, crop productivity, and the dynamics of the fertilizer market. Understanding the determinants and impact of MOP price can help farmers make informed decisions about fertilizer usage, assist industry stakeholders in managing supply and demand dynamics, and contribute to sustainable agricultural practices. By keeping an eye on MOP price trends, stakeholders can navigate the ever-changing landscape of the fertilizer industry, ensuring the availability and affordability of essential nutrients for the growth and nourishment of crops worldwide.
What Is The Full Form Of MOP In Price?

On Monday I checked on an ash tree for a client in East Greenville. She said the leaves appeared to be wilting.
Well, they didn't really look wilted to me, but they were distorted and curled.
I unrolled some of them to check for pests; none were there. No aphids, no silk from any caterpillars. There was an outdoor fireplace nearby. But if that were the cause, I would expect the symptoms to be the worst closest to where the fire would have been.
Next to the ash is a young saucer magnolia. Last year I treated it for a bad magnolia scale infestation; so while I was there, I examined it. The scale was gone, but it too had a lot of distorted leaves. And, like the ash, no pests, no aphids.
When trees of different species have the same symptoms, it's probably abiotic - not a disease or a pest. Pests and diseases are usually host-specific. Near the ash and magnolia is a Kousa dogwood. Same thing - distorted leaves. And the type of distortion that is generally seen with certain herbicide poisoning. That is, elongated parallel veins and interveinal chlerosis.
There is another ash a few hundred feet away also at the rear of the backyard. It has the same symptoms, only even more pronounced.
Well, all the symptoms are consistent with the effect of herbicides, but the client's lawn is definitely not weed free. If that is the cause, the likely reason is spray drift from the hay field adjacent to the yard. The field looks very clean, hardly any weeds.
So that is my theory - all the trees were damaged by herbicide drift from the application to the hay field. And that is what I told the client. And she confirmed that the field was recently sprayed. She will ask the farmer to be more careful in the future. | agronomy |

“…Build a community where people know each other, not just the face, but the families, you know, and are able to trust each other…” – Dr Kinefuchi
Dr. Etsuko Kinefuchi is an Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of North Carolina. Dr. Kinefuchi, along with Paula Sieber, started a project to create an urban farm in Greensboro. The project is led by GUFI, the Guilford Urban Farming Initiative. GUFI works with local groups to build communities and create urban farms. GUFI’s goal is to provide nutritional education and supply fresh produce for local neighbours that are in need.
Dr. Kinefuchi and Sieber, GUFI’s executive director, attended a state wide sustainability conference six months prior to applying for the grant from the UNCG-based National Communication Association’s (NCA) Center for Communication, Community Collaboration and Change that funds GUFI. GUFI participants have come together and created the St Phillip AME Zion Church Garden of Peace and Community Farm (The Garden of Peace). Volunteers and community members came together in efforts to establish and sustain the urban farm.
The purpose of the grant funding isn’t strictly to buy tools to help develop and design the farm, and to help develop the community building aspect of the farm. Access to healthy food is an important piece of maintaining community resilience, which is the exact purpose behind this grant funding, along with community building.
Dr. Kinefuchi herself grew up watching her parents farm different types of vegetables. She described the experience, saying “we were poor, but we were never hungry, so you know I grew up appreciating that”, sparking her appreciation for the urban farm.
The location of the farm is in a predominantly black community, where there is also a lot of subsidised housing. Besides the farm, GUFI launched a farmers market, the Grove Market, in this community to bring in largely black farmers from surrounding communities. This was important to GUFI because of a history of racism against black farmers. Black farmers have been discriminated against by the U.S. Department of Agriculture dating back to the 1920s by way of legislation, laws, and commissions.
These changes have caused a decrease in the percentage of black farms in the U.S., which ultimately affected their way of living (ewg.org). The produce at the Grove Market is coming directly from black farmers, and community members can have access to affordable fresh food grown by the farmers. It was important for these resources to be distributed, especially during the rising unemployment rate due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Forming these diverse connections, being present in the community, and demonstrating that they care has built rapport for the project and allowed it to be sustained. Dr. Kinefuchi describes the ethics based around GUFI as being sensitive to and inclusive of the cultural differences in the community and trying their best to serve them, while making sure that the community members are also included in the decisions making.
With GUFI receiving the grant, they are able to work with the community to grow food locally and educate others. With so many Greensboro residents in the one community, there isn’t one grocery store in walking distance. GUFI is working with the community to erase some of those problems by establishing a farm to provide fresh produce for the community.
In order for the farm to be a success,the project needed many volunteers. For the community to be involved, they must be aware of the opportunity. So far, GUFI has used social media, websites, and flyers about the farm and the market and communicated how local residents can help keep the Urban Farm a success.
GUFI is also educating the residents on the importance of fresh food, nutrition, composting, and growing their own food.
GUFI could not run without working with local black farmers, city officials, other community organisations and leaders, and most importantly the residents of that specific community. The Garden of Peace officially opened to the public in August 2021.
To learn more about GUFI’s work and the progress they are making, please like and share their Facebook page to make sure this initiative is being shared with others to slow down food insecurities in urban communities.

(p. A4) VIVARO, Italy — Giorgio Fidenato declared war on the Italian government and environmental groups in April with a news conference and a YouTube video, which showed him poking six genetically modified corn seeds into Italian soil.
In fact, said Mr. Fidenato, 49, an agronomist, he planted two fields of genetically modified corn. But since “corn looks like corn,” as he put it, it took his opponents weeks to find his crop.
The seeds, known as MON810, are modified so that the corn produces a chemical that kills the larvae of the corn borer, a devastating pest. Yet while European Union rules allow this particular seed to be planted, Italy requires farmers to get special permission for any genetically modified, or G.M., crop — and the Agriculture Ministry never said yes.
“We had no choice but to engage in civil disobedience — these seeds are legal in Europe,” said Mr. Fidenato, who has repeatedly applied for permission, adding that he drew more inspiration from Ron Paul than Gandhi.
. . .
After Mr. Fidenato’s provocation, investigators did genetic testing to identify the locations of the offending stalks in the sea of cornfields that surround this tiny town. Officials seized two suspect fields — about 12 acres — and declared the plantings illegal. Greenpeace activists surreptitiously snipped off the stalks’ tassels in the hope of preventing pollen from being disseminated.
On Aug. 9, 100 machete-wielding environmental activists from an antiglobalization group called Ya Basta descended on Vivaro and trampled the field before local police officers could intervene. They left behind placards with a skull and crossbones reading: “Danger — Contaminated — G.M.O.”
Giancarlo Galan, who became agriculture minister in April, called the protesters “vandals,” although he did not say he would allow genetically modified crops. But Luca Zaia, the previous agriculture minister and president of the nearby Veneto region, applauded the rampage, saying: “There is a need to show multinationals that they can’t introduce Frankenstein crops into our country without authorization.”
Over the past decade, genetically modified crops have been a major (p. A8) source of trade friction between Europe and the United States.
Both the United States Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Agency say that there is no scientific evidence that eating MON810 corn is dangerous.
. . .
. . . it is not clear that the battle of Vivaro will have a quick victor. Jail time or at least fines are expected for Mr. Fidenato (illegal planting) and Mr. Tornatore (trespassing and destroying private property).

He shared the story of how they came to be.
A few years back he had a gathered up all the leaf matter from around his yard and piled into a stack to get a compost heap started.
About 8 months after he had piled up all this leaf matter his wife had enjoyed a red Pawpaw and she asked Andrew if he could try and grow some of these trees. So he took the seeds and planted some into some good soil he prepared and the rest he threw into the developing compost heap.
Well the seeds never produced in the good soil he prepared and he had forgotten about the rest. About 12 months later they had a substantial amount of rain and out of this compost about 30 Pawpaw plants began to shoot. And they got to about 400mm high and Andrew thought, “wow!” he will have a great crop. He was especially excited because he had done nothing really with the compost heap and thought this was pretty amazing that they had come after all this time.
About two months after they began to thrive they got another substantial amount of rain and because the Pawpaw trees were now sitting in water they all rotted and died. He was very disappointed!
Some 12 months after this event he moved his compost into a garden bed he was preparing. In this bed he planted all sorts of bushes and trees. But to his surprise out of the soil and compost grew three Pawpaw trees. He was totally surprised by this, but thought from previous experience they would quickly die.
However not only did they grow they thrived and produced more trees, which he has now planted in other places around his house. Of all the plants he planted in the garden bed the Pawpaw trees are thriving the most.
He has no idea how or why this has happened but it did! He just carried the seed around, intentionally planting some and while the rest he just threw out randomly.
This can teach us so much about Mark 4:1-9 and Mark 4:26-29.
“Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge. 2 He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said: 3 “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.9 Then Jesus said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”
“He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground.27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.” (Mark 4:26-29)
Let’s continue to be seed carriers in our everyday life. Let’s sow the seed generously and randomly. Let’s give enough time to see what might happen. Let’s be clueless with expectation.
God uses random events to bring things together, which we could not manufacture or foresee (A stack of leaves and Red Pawpaw seed).
Seed planting comes first from us tasting and seeing that the fruit is good. (The red Pawpaw tasted good and they wanted more).
We cannot prepare the soil of a person heart and mind that is God’s job. (The soil Andrew prepared initially was not right for the Pawpaw seed they didn’t even shoot).
We are carriers of the seed not protectors of the seed (All Andrew did was transport the seed around his yard, how it stayed alive and produced he has no idea).
We have no idea what is going on in the soil of someone’s heart and mind. Nor do we need too! (The seed was lying dormant in the compost until the right conditions came together.)
Early flourish of shoots does not equate to lasting fruit. (The 30 shoots of pawpaw didn’t last after the first adverse condition hit.)
Patience is such a key to witnessing seed shooting and bearing fruit. (It was three years before the first of the pawpaw seeds began to grow substantially and it was another 2 years before they reproduced).
Ron & Paula Turner are regional leaders in Outback Queensland. They travel from town to town, serving the people, looking initiating spiritual conversations and looking for the People of Peace that God has prepared. The journey isn’t always easy but we love how these guys are obedient and follow Jesus wherever He calls! We are all continually learning as we step out and make disciples. | agronomy |
https://lifesciences.mofo.com/topics/silver-lining-genome-editing-regulation-following-crispr-ban-in-europes-agribusiness | 2024-02-25T04:58:48 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474581.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240225035809-20240225065809-00190.warc.gz | 0.955677 | 909 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__35621524 | en | In its landmark decision of July 25 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”) essentially banned crops obtained by new genome editing techniques from the EU market. The decision left the European biotech industry in awe, as it came unexpectedly and caused its activities to come to a sudden halt. Now, a request by the Council of the European Union (“Council”) to the European Commission seems to have set the ball rolling again. So what happened?
A widely criticized decision
The CJEU decided that organisms obtained by cutting-edge genome editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9, Talen, or zinc finger are to be classified as genetically modified organisms (“GMO”). As such, these organisms are subject to the EU’s rigorous Directive 2001/18/EC (“GMO Directive”). The consequence is a de facto ban of the new technologies in the agricultural sector of the EU due to the established practice of rarely approving GMO crops on the market and leaving the Member States the option of banning GMO crops altogether on a national level.
The decision stirred up a fierce controversy. Firstly, it came as a surprise to many, as the opinion of the Attorney General was generally interpreted as considering such techniques permissive under the GMO Directive. Moreover, integrating the new mutagenesis techniques, dubbed the “printing press of the 21st century”, into the scientific toolbox is widely regarded as essential in order to develop solutions to the most pressing problems of the 21st century. The wide array of plant characteristics that can possibly be achieved includes higher yields, decreased chemical and water usage, and improved resistance to pathogens and drought, as well as increased nutritional value that could help tackle hunger crises, worldwide climate change, water scarcity, and a diminishing biodiversity.
In addition, apart from the EU risking its competitive edge in sustainable food production, scientists argue that the desired genome-edited crops are at least equally as safe as the ones stemming from “conventional” mutagenesis techniques with similar alterations, since those could also occur in nature, only on a random and therefore less cost-effective and precise basis. Not only does this fact contradict the decision’s implication of crops obtained by new mutagenesis techniques posing the same risks as traditional GMOs, but it also makes distinguishing how the alterations in question were originally achieved nearly impossible. Thus, an insurmountable hurdle for passing the authorization process is created, since today’s methods do not allow for definitively proving that none of the “new” genome editing techniques were applied in the breeding process of a crop.
A silver lining?
Despite the clear signal that the CJEU sent to European lawmakers to expressively regulate genome-editing techniques, no corresponding steps were taken for the past year and a half. However, there seems to be a silver lining on the horizon. On November 8, 2019 the Council issued a request to the European Commission to submit a study on the status of new genome-editing techniques in the light of the CJEU’s decision and, if needed, propose changes to the GMO Directive.
Although the request mainly focuses on the issue of distinguishability of products resulting from natural mutation from those stemming from new mutagenesis techniques, there is a chance that the request will kick off a fundamental debate about the future role of genetically modified plants and a comprehensive review of their regulation. In this regard, several Members of the European Parliament have already expressed their concerns with the currently missing distinction of new innovations and technologies from traditional GMOs under the GMO Directive, which is widely considered archaic.
The Commission has not yet reacted to the request, but an answer is likely to be issued early February following paragraph 10 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on Better Law-Making.
While the use and commercialization of genome-editing tools is embraced by 13 members of the World Trade Organization, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Brazil, the EU risks losing its seat at the table of the major countries defining the future of agriculture and food production. Nevertheless, some European players seem willing to put high bets on a change of policy in a still unforeseeable future by signing the first gene-editing related deals.
We are going to keep you informed about any progress on this matter.

A helicopter herbicide application was successfully carried out this morning on parts of Lake Wanaka, the Lake Wanaka Lagarosiphon Management Group confirmed today.
The application was part of the 2004/2005 interim programme for the control of the weed Lagarosiphon in Lake Wanaka as agreed by a management group consisting of:
The Lake Wanaka Guardians, Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC), Otago Regional Council (ORC), the Department of Conservation and Land Information New Zealand (LINZ).
As indicated in the interim plan, herbicide gel was applied by air from 8am in perfect, still conditions to the following areas: Paddock Bay, Parkins Bay, Mt Burke to Quartz Creek, Quartz Creek to Mt. Burke Station, Stevensons Island, Isthmus of Stevenson?s Arm and West Wanaka Bay.
"There will now be a 24-hour period, specific to those areas, where on a precautionary basis we ask the community to refrain from recreational use and from drinking any water taken directly from the application areas until 10am tomorrow (Wednesday). There is no risk to normal water supplies," management group spokesman Chris Hawker said.
As agreed, the Otago Regional Council today took water samples from the application area and would also test the main town supply intake.
Additional boat applications, as set down in the interim plan, were also scheduled to take place prior to December 17.
"With mechanical removal already underway, I think everyone has been somewhat surprised by the bulk and spread of the weed. The extent of the problem more than justifies the urgent need to cut lagarosiphon back to a manageable problem," Mr Hawker said.
The group was grateful for the support and encouragement received from many quarters of the community.
"Understandably this has been an emotive issue but we have been heartened that once people have taken the time to understand the problem, the solutions and apprise themselves of the facts we have received wide support," Mr Hawker said.
Meanwhile the management group was scheduled to meet next week to finalise the 10-year management plan.
"This will be circulated internally prior to Christmas before being released for public comment in the New Year," Mr Hawker said.

So after mowing the grass, I pull out the young thistles and the worst of the clover and then hose everything down.
The shower spilling from the nozzle cools the air and coaxes a rainbow from hiding. A river feeds the spigot. Bright beads of water skip and race across waxy cauliflower leaves. I dip my hand in the pattering spray, wipe the back of my neck. Beneath it all, the cracked ground laps up its muddy brew.

Our cold-press juicing method presses the pulp of fruits and vegetables to extract the juice. Pressing the pulp results in a cleaner, crisper, and much better tasting product. The hydraulic pressing process keeps the produce cold and limits exposure to air, meaning our juices have a longer shelf life, enabling them to be bought and enjoyed—at peak freshness—for several days at a time. The three day shelf life allows individuals and families to stock their refrigerator for grab-and-go convenience.

We all hate weeds. They are one of the biggest distractors to a great yard. From our experience, the best way to keep them under control is to get out there and pull them by hand (which is no fun, btw) or by applying pre-emergent, which prevents weeds from growing. More on pre-emergent herbicides HERE.
Lowes.com has a great article which covers the many things you can do to prevent and rid your yard of weeds. Many of the pros recommend staying consistent in the battle against weeds and following a schedule.
Early spring – Inspect your lawn as spring approaches and then decide on the treatment. If you're using herbicide, apply a pre-emergent shortly before annual weeds, such as crabgrass, begin to grow in the spring. A good rule is to apply the pre-emergent before the dogwoods begin to bloom. You may decide to use a pre-emergent combined with fertilizer as an early lawn treatment.
Late spring – In the middle of the growing season, determine which weeds have come back and repeat weed killer application or remove weeds selectively with herbicide or by hand.
Fall – If you're using herbicide, treat your lawn one last time with a general weed killer after the final mowing. Remove large weeds by hand to ensure they will not survive over the winter.

Arthur and Melanie plan to use biodynamic and organic practices to raise pastured chicken, pork, lamb, and beef, and to develop a grass-fed dairy operation with on-farm milk processing. All sales will be directly to consumers and restaurants.
The property is a former dairy farm featuring south-facing slopes, a large old-style stanchion dairy barn, a calving barn, a machine shop, and over 80 acres of pasture and hay land, making it a great fit for their operation. There are seasonal views of the Battenkill River from the farmstead, and in other places on site there are a farm pond, a seasonal brook, and unobstructed views of the river.
Equity Trust first got involved with this property in 2013 when we were approached for help to get the farm, which was lying fallow, back into active agriculture. Equity Trust worked closely with the Agricultural Stewardship Association (ASA) to find the right farmer, figure out the strategy for protecting this farm, and make it affordable for a farmer to purchase.
Arthur says that farming has always been his greatest interest and love. An experienced biodynamic farmer, he was born and raised in the Netherlands, where he worked on Dutch vegetable farms as a child and teenager. After he came to the United States, he co-owned a biodynamic diversified dairy farm for eight years. Born into a farming family, Melanie has had a life-long interest in all aspects of food, worked for a number of years as a gardener, and completed the Biodynamic Training in Spring Valley, NY.
Through our Hudson Valley Farm Affordability Program, Equity Trust was able to pay for the purchase of the conservation easement that includes an affordability restriction (in the form of a preemptive purchase right) on the property. This conservation easement is held by ASA and accomplishes the following:
- Removes the property’s development rights,
- Requires the farm be sold in the future only to working farmers,
- Includes an affordability restriction (on the land, agricultural buildings, and farmhouse), locking in the farm’s affordability, even through future resales.
The Samuel Freeman Charitable Trust contributed $10,000 towards the easement purchase, and Arthur and Melanie also donated a portion of the easement value. Funding for project costs was provided by Equity Trust’s Hudson Valley Farm Affordability Program, and ASA’s Forever Farmland Campaign. We were thrilled to have this project finally close in February 2019! Protecting this farm was an intensively collaborative project that only came together because of the hard work of many people. | agronomy |

Know that you may not get an abundance of fruit your first year--technically, you're supposed to pinch off the blooms to allow the plants to focus on building a good root structure.

Unattended strawberry beds will frequently look like the one pictured above. For most of the United States, strawberries are a favorite perennial (they come back year after year) and will provide a bountiful harvest provided they receive just a little attention from the gardener. Ironically, too much attention and the strawberries will not flourish as well as if they were left to their own devices.
The bed above is WAY too crowded. Time for some hard decisions. Ideally, you need breathing room for strawberries (when starting a new patch, they recommend placing them about a foot apart since they'll send out runners each year and quickly fill the space). For the picture above, it's time to start pulling and thin out. Toss out the older ones (the crowns are much thicker than newer/younger plants). The 4-5 year old plants will slow way down in their production, allowing the younger ones to produce more. They are easy to pull and might be still connected to the parent plant by a stolon (runner). Snip or pinch that off. You can transplant now to a new place to get them established (and probably fruit in the Spring) or put in the compost bin (or give away to friends and family). If you are transplanting, know that their roots are very sensitive to drying out and so it's best to just transplant a few at a time instead of pulling all, then transplanting all. Strawberries also want/like/need full sun to produce an abundance of berries, so if you're getting a lot of shade in that area, the green will grow, but the fruit won't. In the Spring, it might not be a bad idea to add some fertilizer. Look for something with low nitrogen (N) and higher phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Fertilizers with high nitrogen will produce a lot of leafy greens, but no fruit. This concept can be applied to ALL plants in the garden, from lettuce (add more N and less P and K) to tomatoes (less N and more P and K).
Strawberries are not rotated like other veggies. They have a bed all to themselves and just thinned every year. Some folks will cover with straw (not hay, as hay contains seeds) or mulched leaves (no whole leaves as they mat down) in the winter, but you do that AFTER a hard frost. Sounds counterintuitive, but if you do it before, you've created a nice bedding area for rodents. I usually forget because we have pretty mild winters in S. Indiana and my raised bed strawberries do just fine (look rough the next Spring, but quickly heal). The ones in tubs may or may not survive...depending on severity of winter and if I took any winter protection methods. Also, depending on where you are located and how severe your winters are, if you can bring a pot into an unheated garage/shed, it might be easiest to overwinter there. I don't have much luck with my potted strawberries surviving winter, but then again, I don't put much effort into it either since I have a very full raised bed.
There are two 'types' of strawberries...June bearing and Everbearing. Then there are multiple varieties within each of those categories. If you had a large crop in June and then not much else, you have a June bearing variety and this is common in the Midwest. You get a lot all at once and then the plant is 'done'. There may be a few berries here and there, but that's not when they'll really produce. In Indiana, most places recommend June bearing.
A large variety of plants can act as companion plants next to your strawberry patch EXCEPT for nightshades (eggplant, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, etc) and maybe rose (I heard that before, but not really sure). I'd also avoid most melons because their vines/leaves get so large they will shade out the strawberry plants. Beans, peas, onions, etc have done well near my strawberries. Thinning usually happens towards the end of the season...I usually do it in the Fall for a few reasons (1) cooler weather/less bugs (2) I have more time (3) it allows the runners to start being established and I know what I can pull vs what may produce more plants for me (runners 'feed' off of the parent for a while before sending down roots of their own).

Being passionate about doing good for the environment can start at home.
It’s also all about the approach you take to your own life and daily activities that plays a part in the world around you. Consider energy-saving appliances and light bulbs, properly insulate windows and doors, recycle. You can even make your waste work for you by composting.
Composting by the numbers
In 2018, 42.6 million tons of material were composted. This includes the composting of food (2.6 million tons) and yard trimmings, and other general food waste management. This means, while you’re composting your food and lawn clippings at home, large efforts are in place to manage food waste through animal feed, anaerobic digestion, biochemical processing, and more.
If you have the right materials and proper knowledge, there’s so much waste that can go into the compost bin. According to CompostNow, 60 percent of our waste is compostable, and deciding to compost can save 35 percent of the usable land currently taken up by landfills.
The data is there, so why not give composting a try?
How composting works
Composting is actually a natural process that recycles organic matter. It moves faster than the typical time it takes for certain materials to decompose on their own. You create the ideal environment for composting to occur, transforming your waste into a nutrient-rich fertilizer that can organically enrich your grass, plants, and soil.
What you need to get started
There are three basic ingredients to composting — the browns, the greens, and water. The brown materials include dead leaves and twigs. They provide carbon. The green items range from grass clippings to coffee grounds. They introduce the nitrogen. All this mixed with just the right amount of water, and composting is off and running. All you need to do is make sure to maintain an equal amount of browns and greens in your compost pile. Alternate the layers of both types of organic material for the best results.
The long list of compostable items
There’s a lot you can compost, but make sure you have easy access to a list. Pay special attention to what not to compost, to prevent throwing off the balance and effectiveness of your set-up. For example, dairy, meat and fish scraps, and fats all don’t belong in a compost bin. They can all create an odor problem and attract insects and rodents. That being said, you can compost fruits, vegetables, tea bags, nut shells, and a long list of common household items.
Extend your impact
Composting is a positive way you can contribute to the environment because of its impact. It helps enrich soil and can reduce the need for chemical fertilizers. Composting also reduces methane emissions since less waste goes into a landfill for processing. By composting, you’re lowering your own carbon footprint.
Reducing methane emissions at home is a good start, but you can also apply this behavior outside your own backyard. Enlarge your impact by making careful choices in everyday life. This can mean researching companies for sustainability initiatives, and making intentional purposes. It can even mean being particular about where you buy your gas.
All of your choices add up when it comes to waste and sustainability. How do you contribute to the state of your planet? | agronomy |

Plus, picking up a large variety of produce each week helps to ensure you get your servings of fruit and vegetables. I strongly believe in supporting local food, but it wasn’t practical for me to participate in a CSA this year.
Fortunately, I’ve been able to live vicariously through others as they enjoy the experience. I love hearing on Twitter and Facebook what everyone is picking up from the local farms. One of my coworkers is part of a CSA for the first time. She brought in one of her items to share, but wasn’t sure exactly what it was. She thought the farmer said “celery something” and some Googling revealed that this is celery leaf. The leaves and slender stalks are part of the celery plant. This herb tastes like celery, but without the stringy texture. The flavor is stronger than I expected, almost peppery.
I decided to put the celery leaf in a simple chicken salad wrap. I combined chopped chicken with a dab of mayonnaise, a dab of mustard, and chopped celery leaf, using both the leaves and stalks. Then I wrapped it up with some spinach, just to make sure there was enough green. It was a very tasty lunch, and the celery leaf really did perk up the otherwise boring chicken salad.
Thanks to MJ for sharing, and I look forward to hearing about next week’s pick-up. | agronomy |

My father had recently passed away and my employer, Anita Roddick suggested I go to India to find out about Vandana Shiva. Anita had arranged a get together with her at Bija Vidyapeeth, Vandana's organic farm and Earth University. I was a year that that transformed me from within. I would have died blind had I not met Dr.Shiva and experienced the depth of her wisdom, brilliance and generosity of spirit. Her attentive care and support both introduced me to the the importance of seeds, and brought me to this work. Upon returning to Santa Barbara the following year, I started Edible Gardens, an organic seed company and Biodiversity farm. In March 2011 Vandana and I were both engaged in a Federal lawsuit in the United States, Organic Farmers vs. Monsanto, challenging the company's patents on technologies for genetically modified seeds. It was an extraordinary experience to witness the forces at work behind the complex ecological collapse.
"The control of seed equals the control of life on earth" - Vandana Shiva
If you are unaware of who she is, Vandana Shiva is someone worth knowing. She is an Indian physicist, environmental activist, and advocate for food sovereignty. For decades she has played a significant role in protecting India from biopiracy, and her tireless efforts span across multiple disciplines including promoting sustainable agriculture, biodiversity conservation, and the protection of traditional knowledge and resources. Shiva’s efforts have focused on addressing the unethical appropriation and exploitation of India’s biological resources and traditional knowledge, particularly in the context of agriculture and seed conservation.
Advocacy for Seed Sovereignty: Vandana has been a vocal advocate for seed sovereignty and the protection of traditional seeds from biopiracy. She founded the Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Ecology (RFSTE) in 1982, which led to the establishment of Navdanya in 1991. Navdanya is a national movement aimed at protecting the diversity and integrity of living resources, especially native seeds, and promoting organic farming and fair trade. The initiative has established over 40 seed banks across India to provide regional opportunities for diverse agriculture, thereby safeguarding traditional seeds from exploitation and unauthorized commercialization.
Opposition to Green Revolution Practices: Shiva has been a critic of the Green Revolution, an international effort to increase food production in less-developed countries through higher-yielding seed stocks and the increased use of pesticides and fertilizers. She has argued that the Green Revolution has led to the loss of indigenous seed diversity and traditional agricultural knowledge, as well as the troubling dependence of poor farmers on costly chemicals. In response, RFSTE scientists established over 140 community seed banks throughout India to preserve the country’s agricultural heritage while training farmers in sustainable agricultural practices, thereby protecting traditional agricultural knowledge and resources from exploitation.
Promotion of Sustainable Agriculture: Shiva’s work on agriculture, particularly in response to the violence in Punjab and the Bhopal disaster, has focused on advocating for sustainable and productive approaches to agriculture. She has highlighted the detrimental impact of the seed-chemical package promoted by green revolution agriculture, which has depleted fertile soil and destroyed living ecosystems. Through her studies and activism, Shiva has raised awareness about the need to protect India’s agricultural heritage and traditional farming practices from biopiracy and unsustainable agricultural methods.
International Advocacy and Collaboration: Vandana Shiva has also been involved in international advocacy and collaboration to address issues related to biopiracy and the protection of traditional knowledge. She has served as an advisor to governments in India and abroad, as well as non-governmental organizations, and has been a member of various scientific committees and organizations focused on sustainable agriculture, biodiversity, and environmental protection. Her international engagement has contributed to raising awareness about the importance of protecting traditional knowledge and resources from exploitation and biopiracy on a global scale.
I was fortunate to accompany Dr.Shiva when she won the Sydney Peace prize, a video of her talk is here.
Vandana Shiva has played a pivotal role in protecting communities around the world from biopiracy through her advocacy for seed sovereignty, opposition to unsustainable agricultural practices, promotion of sustainable agriculture, and international collaboration to address issues related to the exploitation of traditional knowledge and resources. Her work has been instrumental in raising awareness about the importance of preserving agricultural heritage and traditional farming practices while safeguarding seeds them from unauthorized commercialization and exploitation. | agronomy |

All our beef is Angus-cross, affording the breed's positive qualities (marbling, tenderness, structure) to fully develop. Grass-fed and grain-finished (see below), our beef reaps the desirable attributes of both grass and grain diet. We partner with a network of trusted Oregon family farms to grow our herd with the finest cattle available. It is our unwavering promise to be Oregon's trusted purveyor of the highest quality beef.
All of our beef is whole-carcass dry-aged between 14-21 days, a practice virtually unheard of in today's faster-is-better beef market. Laney Family Farms is the premier name in Oregon beef and is proudly found in some of the best kitchens in the state.
Beehives: Our bees, kept at our Tygh Valley ranch, make some of the tastiest honey around. By providing a useful service as expert pollinators, these bees do work that both tastes good and helps the overall agricultural vitality of the farm.
Craft Brewing and Distilling Grains: in 2007, we began growing malting barley for Rogue Ales and Spirits, one of the nation's foremost craft breweries. Now, their entire line of GYO (Grow Your Own) beers and their Single Malt Whiskey start with a backbone of Laney Family Farms malted barley. In addition, Rogue's floor malt is located at Laney Family Farms East, borne from the partnership between Scot Laney and Rogue President Brett Joyce.
Triticale: a natural hybrid of wheat and rye, sometimes called "Scottish Wheat," triticale is a hardy grain with numerous health benefits. As both an interesting and unexpected flour for sweet and savory baking and a cost-effective whole-grain livestock feed, triticale is an important part of local food. We believe in eating Oregon first. That is, we believe in supporting local purveyors, methods and goods of conscientious quality in our community. To this end, our livestock eats triticale wheat grown right on our farm in their grain-finishing phase. By helping our livestock eat Oregon first, we push localism even further.
Orchard Fruit: Also on the property at Laney Family Farms East is a beautiful orchard featuring cherries, apples, and plums. These delightful trees make delicious snacks, beautiful foliage and perfect ingredients for Rogue beer. | agronomy |

Are you despairing as you don’t want to use a pesticide to get rid of slugs and snails?
The answer is quite simple really as there hasn’t been any slugs or snails in the garden for the last couple of years, the reason for this is, down to eggshells and a lovely plant called Nemesia,
Nemesia is a lovely plant that can be bought from any Garden Centre or supermarket and placed either in a border or shade. The colours and varieties are varied and are seen in most magazines. I would recommend the Framboise, it is a lovely colour, there is also a variety called Berries and Cream, plus Wisley Vanilla.
The fragrance from the Nemesia attracts the slugs and snails, but won’t ham them.
You may think that putting eggshells may well be a old wives tale but I beg to differ as once again, there aren’t any slugs or snails in the garden, so it must be true.
If you have any other ideas for getting rid of slugs or snails, please let me know as I will take it on board | agronomy |

Happy World Bee Day! But what makes bees special enough to deserve a whole day dedicated to them?
Bees are a big deal in Slovenia which has one of the highest proportion of beekeepers in its population in the world. In Slovenia a beekeeper has the same status as a dairy farmer or arable (wheat and grain) farmer does in the UK. This makes sense as bees have the gift of producing delicious honey! Slovenia proposed World Bee Day to the UN in 2014 and only at the end of 2017 was it was unanimously approved by the UN General assembly that the 20th May each year would be World Bee Day. Bees also have another trick up their sleeve which is vital to life on planet Earth.
Below we give you a bit of background on why bees are so important, and little easy steps you can take to make a big difference to help bees flourish!
A great number of fruit and vegetable plants need to be pollinated to create seeds that can grow into new plants – think apples, peas, strawberries and beans to name a few. A lot of natural animal feedstock such as clover and alfalfa need pollinating to reproduce. In fact it is estimated by the Soil Association that 1 in 3 mouthfuls of the food we eat would not be available if it were not for pollination! Pollination occurs when pollen from one plant is transferred to another plant of the same species.
Natures way of pollination is a special cohort of insects and animals including butterflies, beetles bats and small mammals who visit plants and transfer the small grains of pollen from plant to plant. Bees are one of the most important pollinators on the planet! Bees are one of the few creatures who feed on pollen at every stage of their lifecycle. They have special hairs on their legs designed to attract pollen and as they fly from flower to flower some of the pollen drops off pollinating the flower as the bee collects more pollen for food. Bees also collect nectar from the flowers which is the raw material for making honey.
How can we all help look after bees?
In lots of places around the world bee populations are in decline. The main reasons for this are the use of pesticides in agriculture and gardens and the destruction of bees natural habitat. We can all take small steps to address both of these issues.
1. Stop using pesticides in your garden
A natural garden can be beautiful, and it also helps promote biodiversity which means many insects will benefit and make your garden their home. The more diverse the insect population in your garden, the more diverse the species of other birds and small mammals like hedgehogs will come to visit.
2. Buy organic where you can
Another great way to contribute to the reduction of pesticide use is to buy organic. This can be buying clothes that are made from organically sourced materials such as organic cotton or bamboo, or buying organically grown fruit and vegetables. Organic farming prohibits the use of chemical pesticides. This is great news for the environment, including bees. Studies have shown that organic farms have up to 75% more bees than conventional farms. This is due to not using pesticides and also the fact that organic farms tend to have more areas of naturally growing wild flowers around them which helps bee and other wildlife thrive.
3. Plant flowers
You don’t need a farm to help contribute to increasing the number of wildflowers. Whether you have a window box, a balcony or a garden, you can plant or pot flowers to help the bees. Lavender is ideal for this – it’s tough and easy to look after (Becky in our office assures me even I could grow it!) and bees love the flowers. Another good option is rosemary. Rosemary is another tough, easy growing flowering plant with the additional bonus of making a great addition to lots of recipes.
4. Buy seed paper greetings cards
If you would like to spread the word about the beauty and good wildflowers can do, why not look into plantable seed paper. This is an ideal finishing touch for a gift, an invitation or a thank you note. Your friends and family can then plant the seed paper and watch the flowers grow! So your gift lives on even after the card is finished with.
5. Leave your grass to grow
Some councils in the UK are now getting more bee friendly and leaving uncut sections of verges and central reservations to encourage wildflower growth, and you can do the same if you have lawns. Lots of people join together to take part in 'No mow May' where people avoid mowing the lawn to help the bees and other insects. All these small steps add up to a much friendlier environment for bees.
A bee visits between 50 and 100 flowers on one pollen and nectar collection trip. Even in big cities like London companies are installing wildflower gardens on their office roofs to encourage biodiversity, and some have even gone as far as installing beehives on them. We are lucky enough to work in the countryside and one of our neighbours actually has their own beehive!
6. Install a bee hotel
Bee hotels are the perfect resting place for tired bees. You can pick them up from local garden centres or online, or you can make your own! Bee hotels should be installed facing South and about one metre from the ground.
The world of bees and honey
It might just be me, but I have always been a bit puzzled by the phrase “make a beeline”. I don’t think I have seen many bees travel in straight lines and in fact according to research a bee must travel around 55,000 miles to collect enough nectar to make half a kilo of honey. The honeybee is the only insect in the world that produces food that is eaten by people.
The bee community is made up of one queen, drones and worker bees. It is the worker bees who collect the nectar and pollen from the flowers. They make up the majority of the numbers in the hive. Amazingly, this nectar is also the building block for the wax that makes up the hive where the honey is stored and the eggs are laid. The bees have a gland that produces wax. The wax is then chewed up by worker bees and used to form honeycomb. Bees must eat around 8 kg of honey to make 1 kg of wax.
Mead is the earliest known fermented drink and is made from honey. The Vikings coined the term “honeymoon” because they used to drink lots of mead for the first month of marriage! Honey has other uses apart from being turned into mead. It is said that if you eat honey made locally to you it ups your resistance to hay fever. Raw honey also contains a load of antioxidants. In some cases, honey contains as many antioxidants as fresh fruit and vegetables. Research is going into the wound healing properties of honey and other medicinal uses, and honey and lemon is still a very popular remedy for a sore throat.
Hopefully we have given you some interesting facts and info about how important bees are to the world and why they need helping and protecting. As well as some easy-to-do tips for you to become the bees knees (excuse the pun ;)) in doing your bit to help make their life easier.
And last but certainly not least! To celebrate bee day, make a bee line to the product you've been after on our website and you will receive a free seed bomb! Free bee bombs will be added to every order for this weekend only from Friday 20th May 2022 until midnight Sunday 22nd May 2022. | agronomy |

Worm's Way (800) 274 9676 sells a product called Nitron A-35, which they describe as an "enzyme soil conditioner which aids in germination, acts to detoxify soil, and boosts overall soil ecology." They warn not to use this product on soils to which time release fertilizers have been applied "because Nitron will break the time release encapsulation and make all of the fertilizer available at once, which could burn plants."
A similar warning is given with regard to the Worm's Way product "Earth Juice Catalyst", which is described as "a biological active product that will stimulate growth and production."
Time release fertilizers (such as Osmocote) are far too expensive to use regularly on grass, but many gardners apply them to vegetable and rose gardens. If you are among such gardners, check the label to make sure any soil activator you are also applying will not cause the time release capsules to break down and burn your plants.

Having pots in your garden brings variety, height, and an extra level of interest all year round. This is the easiest way to experiment and move plants around the backyard or patio until you find a perfect spot for it.
Besides the visual and ecological aspects of the garden, we also want to make sure that it is safe for its users. Children should spend more time playing outside in the natural environment and it is important to educate them on how to behave around the plants and to not consume any parts of the plant. Always choose the plants that are non-toxic, without thorns or any poisonous parts, without any pests or diseases.
Supervising children is the best option but if you are not available to be with them all the time make sure that part of the garden that is not suitable for the children is fenced. Create a special and safe part in the backyard for your children to play and enjoy their outdoor time.
If your child has been exposed to poisonous plants assess the situation and call the poison information center, ambulance, or your family doctor. Do not use any part of the plant as food, tea, herb, or medicine.
The following list of the plants was researched by Illinois Poison Center (IPC) and marked as non-toxic. Keep in mind that non-toxic leaves and berries can be choking hazards for small children.
Depending on your climate you can move these plants indoors during the cold months if they are not doing well in the low temperatures.
TIP: Always choose a pot that is big enough to sustain plant roots, heavy enough to keep it in place, and well-drained
If you want to bring a tropical feeling with bright green leaves into your garden design this is the perfect option. Areca palm is an evergreen multiple stem palm that can grow up to 8 meters and spread up to 4 meters. Areca palms are hardy in USDA hardiness zone 10 and 11 but some nurseries recommend that plant also for USDA hardiness zone 9. It requires bright and indirect light since the direct sunlight may burn the leaves. Plant in the well-drained soil and let the top of the soil to dry between watering. Water less often during the winter months. As a slow-growing plant, it will need reporting every two to three years. It is well known as an air-purifying plant.
Beautiful fast-growing and creeping perennial with lush green, tiny leaves, and pinkish flowers. Even though it may look delicate it is very easy to grow and maintain. Well-draining soil, a moderate amount of daily sunlight, and regular watering with occasional pruning are all that it needs to look its best. It is a very low growing plant and can grow up to 10cm but can spread easily up to 1 meter. Plant hardiness zone 9 through 11.
Growing bamboo in a pot gives you the ability to maneuver it around the garden and also not to worry that it will invade the whole space as it might happen if it is planted without a root barrier in the soil. Because it can grow very tall in tight spaces it is recommended to use for balconies, side yards, and tight patios. You’ll need to re-pot it every 3-5 years to not get a root-bound or divide it and add new soil. Reporting can be done at any time of the year but dividing is best during the autumn or winter. Choose a bamboo that is hardy in your area, can grow in the amount of sunlight that it can get in your garden, and based on your preferences whether you want it to be used as a screen or focal point.
Evergreen fern forming rosette of bright green leaves. Grow in moist but well-drained soil at the place with the filtered light. A slow-growing plant that can grow and spread up to 1 meter. Hardy to USDA hardiness zone 11 and 12. Nice specimen plant that can be very showy by itself or even combined with some flowering plants.
This is a perfect plant for those of you who are also interested to grow some fruits by yourself and provide nutritious snacks for your family. There are many different species of blackberries that you can plant in the pot, just search for the perfect one for your taste and environment. Also, make sure that you plant the cultivar without thorns and chose the right one for your hardiness zone.
One of the most popular annuals because of the wide variety of flower colors and sizes. Showy flowers are vibrant and eye-catching so it will bring an instant interest to your garden. A long period of flowering and abundance of flowers will occur at a sunny location and optimal watering.
As a succulent plant, echeveria is very low maintenance and suitable for those of you who have a very busy lifestyle. Because of the many different colors and shapes, I am sure that everyone can find a perfect one for themselves. Size and spread don't usually go over 30 cm so it will be a perfect option for smaller spaces and planters. Let the soil dry between irrigation and make sure to place it at a sunny location. It will spread easily and provide a nice texture to your pot.
A staple plant for any garden because of the visual appearance, scent, and easy maintenance. Equip your planter with a nice drainage system and place it on a sunny spot so your lavender can achieve full potential. Grows in the hardiness zones from 5 through 9 and it is especially useful to plant lavender in pots in the cooler climates since you can bring them indoors during cold months and place them on a sunny window. Because it is a natural pest repellent it is nice to place the pots with lavender near the sitting area or any part of the garden that you like to use the most. Pruning is essential, in cooler climates it can be done in spring and in the warmer during autumn.
Hosta leaves come in a variety of colors, sizes, textures, and heights so it can fit any kind of garden, and it is considered to be a perfect plant for shade. Easy to grow in hardiness zone 3 through 9 but always keep the soil moist and well-drained.
Magnolias come in a wide array of sizes and can fit any size of the garden. Plant them in rich, well-drained soil and leave enough space around it so it can develop the branches and form a nice habitus at a full sun or partial shade. Chose a right pot that is several times larger than a tree root ball but still manageable if you want to move the plant often. Consider buying a compact and small cultivar if you want to plant it in a pot. Evergreen options are Magnolia grandiflora ‘Teddy Bear’ and Magnolia grandiflora ‘Little Gem’. Some of the beautiful and small deciduous are Magnolia x soulangeana ‘Black Tulip’, Magnolia ‘Ann’, Magnolia stellata ‘Royal Star’.
Create a happy and healthy environment for your children and get them involved in the planting and maintenance process. This experience will help them develop different skills and learn new things while playing outdoors. | agronomy |

Playgrounds and parks are great places to add garden beds and composters. Children can learn a great deal about the life cycle of plants and the many benefits of composting to their garden. At School Outfitters you will find a great selection of garden beds that will complement any playground or park layout. For ease of installation, all are raised and are either simple beds or are part of a larger design like a potting shed or planter box. Composting is a natural extension of garden beds as it creates the organic matter to improve the soil for plant health. Recycled leaves, grass clippings and other plants from the playground or park decompose creating rich nutrients that can then be added to the soil. Composting teaches children about the environment, biology, chemistry and even physics. School Outfitters also carries several popular styles of portable composters to add to your playground or park. | agronomy |

In the heart of the Marne Valley, the vineyard of the Champagne House Thibaut Gisony is composed mainly of Pinot Meunier. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay complete the vineyard. Winegrowers and followers of sustainable viticulture for many years, we cultivate our vines like a garden with passion and meticulousness.
Come and meet passionate winegrowers in the Marne and discover a traditional and family know-how…
The star of the Marne Valley: Pinot Meunier
The vineyard is located on the sunny slopes of Vandières, on the north bank of the Marne Valley, benefiting from a South - South-West exposure, a terroir made of vines and forests, allowing the cultivation of mainly three grape varieties (Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay).
The Pinot Meunier variety contributes to the character and specificity of the Champagne wines of the Marne Valley with its fruitiness and smoothness, the Chardonnay brings finesse and lightness and finally the Pinot Noir, power and nobility.
The fact that all the Champagne grape varieties are cultivated means that different blends can be made during the production of the Champagnes, offering a wide range of aromas and flavours. | agronomy |

You know who else loves your garden? Insects.
The one difference is that theirs could sometimes be a dangerous love.
Whereas there are insects that are good for your garden, some of these tiny critters are merely out to hollow out your garden.
Better not to let them. Here are some of them that are especially dangerous for your tropical garden. We’ve also spelt out how you can take the fight to them.
Also known as Aleyrodidae, whiteflies chew up plant juices and produce a gooey substance known as honeydew that covers up your plants.
The honeydew left on the plant causes fungal diseases that can leave your plants weak. It may also prevent plants from being able to carry out photosynthesis. What happens to a plant that can not do what green growing this do? (You guessed it) Long slow death.
Whiteflies reside in the undersides of leaves, so they could be hard to spot. But if you are seeing those white critters, a spray of insecticidal soap will help control and deter them.
Caterpillars grow into beautiful butterflies, but to do that, they need to eat up large amounts of green growing things. That’s where your garden comes in.
A caterpillar can strip all the leaves off a plant in a single night, and they can also decimate an entire lawn in about three days. You don’t want them around your garden. To control them, handpick the marauding caterpillars from your garden as you find them and dispose of them as you see fit.
Although we’ll recommend you drop them in a soapy water and bring them to a quick and painless death, you could put them in a weed field, where they can have as much food as they want and grow into those beautiful butterflies.
Also, consider spraying the foliage of your plants with neem oil. This is safer than pesticides which are also known to harm plants.
For lawn infestation, you will have to be more aggressive and spray a pesticide directly on the lawn. Early morning is best.
3. Snail and Slugs
Snail and slugs may seem slow, sluggish and harmless at first blush, but they can wreak untold havoc in your garden if allowed to hang around.
These slow-moving succulent gastropods are the scourge of every moist garden. Because they survive only on plants, they can strip a plant off its entire foliage in one night.
Slugs may be a menace, but they are relatively easier to handle. To manage snails and slugs, consider placing copper barriers around succulent foliage that are easy targets. Copper doesn’t mix well with the slime that snails and slugs secrete, producing an electric shock and shooing them away.
You can place slugs traps (such as leaving boards or inverted flower pots with a portion about an inch off the ground for the slugs to enter) overnight in moist areas of your garden. Remove the unfortunate snails and slugs from the boards or pots daily and kill them.
One more great way to keep slugs and snails off your foliage is to crush and sprinkle eggshells in the dirt around your garden. Slugs hate those, and will stay away.
Earthworms are good for your garden. Until they are not.
They do good things for your garden just by moving around and munching on decaying matters (they don’t eat plants). Their movement through the soil loosens and mixes the soil.
But they become bad for the garden when they begin to attract other predators like small mammals that tunnel just under the surface of the ground to eat earthworms. These mammals themselves don’t eat plants, but their activities leave a lot of castings in the garden that are not only ugly but disturbs the roots on your plants.
Like we said, earthworms are good for your garden so we don’t want them to move out. What you want is to control their population. The only tip is to simply control the watering in your garden.
When soil is too wet, earthworms are forced to crawl to the surface for air, but when the soil is only damp, they are able to remain underground where they are not able to attract predators.
Termites are generally harmless to non-woody plants. That is; plants that don’t have persistent woody stems also called herbaceous plants. But in the dry season, termites look to these sorts of plants for moisture and nutrient. They may also feed on the plant root.
Many chemical treatments will kill termites. But one that is more widely used is the treatment of the soil with imidacloprid.

We expect a certain amount of tip die-back (winterkill) on even these protected trees in cold winters, but the tarp helps a good deal. Once the spring sun begins to warm things up during the day it is important to vent these tarp-tents by opening up the tops to moderate the temperature. Our more tender or long-season apples are housed in permanent coldframes and these get vented as well to prevent heat build-up in the spring. Sometimes they also get shade-cloths hung on the south and west sides. All of this is geared to prevent the trees from breaking bud too early and having tender tissues when temperatures are still falling below zero at night. When dormant, our apples can tolerate -40°C, but tender growth can only take a few degrees of frost and blooms can be damaged at -2°C. Once flower buds are the size of a pea ensure your tree doesn’t drop below freezing – if a cold night looms throw a sheet over the tree to keep it safe. Once fruit is set, a few degrees of frost is tolerable. Ensuring your tree is well-watered as spring comes on is also important to a healthy transition. | agronomy |

The short answer is yes, your Monstera can grow in just water for a long time.
But if you want it to grow to its full potential I would recommend growing it in soil instead. Your plant needs the nutrients that it can get from the soil that it wont get from just water.
I understand that it looks amazing to keep your Monstera in a glass vase and see its roots grow, and it sounds simple enough, just put it in water and thats it. But if you do decide to grow your plant in water, you will have to change the water frequently, and use a liquid hydroponic fertilizer to increase the chances of growth.
Monstera Plant Care For Beginners
‘The holes in Monstera develop naturally so that light can reach the lower parts of the plant through the higher leaves in the wild and they help make them more resistant to strong winds,’ says Jo Lambell of Beards & Daisies . ‘The holes are actually called fenestrations if you want to sound like you know your stuff!’
‘Emblazoned on everything from wallpaper to bedsheets, its desirability is at peak levels. But you cant beat the real deal, and the Monstera continues to be a bestseller.’
What Are The Most Common Bugs For This Plant
Spider mites, mealybugs, and scale are common bugs with this plant. If these pests are present on the plant, you need to remove them immediately.
To remove bugs from the plant, you should put this plant in your sink or shower. From there, you spray the leaves down with soapy water to remove these bugs. You can also use a wet cloth with rubbing alcohol or neem oil to wipe down the plant leaves.

What Is The Difference Between A Swiss Cheese Plant And A Monstera
A Swiss cheese plant is a type of Monstera plant. ‘There are around 45 species of this genus of plants all are known and loved for their beautiful foliage and creeping vines,’ says Jo Lambell, founder of houseplant specialists Beards & Daisies .
‘The Swiss cheese plant is technically called Monstera deliciosa the deliciosa part refers to the fruit can produce in the wild, which if you havent guessed, is delicious!’
‘This plant has tendril like aerial roots meaning they will be visible above the surface and can be fed into a moss pole,’ say Beards & Daisies

If youre looking for a spectacular plant that can survive without much effort, a Swiss cheese plant is ideal for beginners and experienced plant parents alike, says Patch Plants Plant Doctor Richard Cheshire.
Here are the key things you need to know to ensure this houseplant favorite takes center stage in your indoor garden ideas.
‘Hes a classic with loads of personality,’ say the experts at Patch Plants on their Swiss cheese plant. ‘Hes really easy to look after and makes a style statement wherever you put him’
Dust And Mist Its Leaves
Recreating a plant’s natural habitat as much as possible is always advisable if you want it to thrive.
‘Hailing from the tropical rainforests of Southern Mexico, your Monstera plant will crave the humidity of its native environment. Recreate these conditions with regular misting, every few days, and youll have a happy plant,’ says Jo of Beards & Daisies.
‘It will appreciate having its leaves dusted regularly with a damp cloth too. This helps unblock its stomata meaning it can breathe and photosynthesize.’

How Do I Care For My Swiss Cheese Plant
Monstera deliciosa likes moderate indoor temperatures of 60 to 85 degrees. It prefers high humidity, but it will adapt fine to dry indoor conditions. If you really feel like nurturing it, you can mist it occasionally to boost humiditybut its not entirely necessary. Water a Swiss cheese plant until it runs out the bottom , then wait until the top few inches feel dry before watering again. Don’t overwaterthat’s a common mistake with this plant. Monstera deliciosa likes its soil a little on the dry side. If you like, feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer in the summer, then stop over the winter when its not actively growing.
You can take Monstera deliciosa outdoors in summer, or keep it outdoors in warm climates . Place it in an area with filtered shade, never direct sunlight, so the leaves wont fry. Bring it back indoors before temperatures drop into the 40s.

Tropical Swiss cheese plant’s vines produce large, leathery leaves, marked by oblong holes, which make them look somewhat like Swiss cheese. The plant has a number of names, including windowleaf and Mexican breadfruit. It is sometimes referred to as split leaf philodendron, although the plant is not a philodendron. When grown outdoors, Swiss cheese plant can grow up tall tree trunks, eventually reaching lengths of 70 feet. Swiss cheese plant, which often begins to bloom about three years after planting, grows outdoors in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 through 12 and elsewhere as a houseplant. Plant Swiss cheese plant in nearly any type of well-drained soil, including alkaline and sandy soil. The plant does not tolerate wet conditions or poorly drained soil. Swiss cheese plant should be in filtered sunlight or light shade A planting spot at least 20 feet from trees, power poles and other structures is best, but you can let the vine climb around a tree.

Only Water When The Soil Is Dry
This is another houseplant that tends to suffer more from drowning than drought, when it comes to watering them, so it’s important to know how often to water your houseplant.
‘Monsteras arent fussy about watering, just give them a drink once their soil is completely dry,’ says Richard Cheshire, plant doctor at Patch .
‘It’s always best to err on the side of caution with Swiss cheese plants,’ says Jemma Charman, Green Rooms Market. ‘Water once the soil feels dry a couple of inches down into the pot. I would always take the plant out of its decorative pot and water at the sink or bath, allowing all the water to drain away before placing it back, as it wont like to be left sitting in water, which can lead to root rot.’
Monstera Care Light And Warmth
If you do want your Monstera to literally be a monster, let him grow for 6-9 months in his first pot and then repot him in a bigger pot and keep doing this every year. Monsteras give you great joy as they regularly produce new leaves. When a new leaf arrives, it will start all curled up. In due course, it will unfurl to reveal a stunning heart-shaped green leaf. Give the right light and nutrition these leaves will develop with their unique holey, Swiss cheese look.
Given that his natural habitat is the rainforests of Central and South America, where he will get dappled light, this tropical beauty does not like to be placed in direct sunlight as he doesnt like to be too hot. Pop him in a well-lit, bright corner where it can see the light as these beauties will grow towards the light. Your Monstera Deliciosa will tolerate most temperatures but bear in mind that lower temperatures can reduce its speedy growth.

Leaf fenestration wont happen until the plant is at least two to three years old.

The very first olive tree farm visited was Texas Olive Ranch. It is located in Carrizo Springs, Texas which is about 30 minutes from the Mexico border, two and half hours south west of San Antonio. The farm has 40,000 olive trees, mostly Arbequina, a Spanish variety acquired from California.
Tony, the ranch manager, landscaper, tour guide, equipment maintainer showed us around one early July morning. The temperature was a cool 85ish degrees, prepping for a 90 degree plus weekend. The ground was saturated from a heavy rain the night before. Tony offered to pick us up at the front gate so we wouldn't get our "pretty car" all muddy! With a chuckle, I drove down Olive Road excited that I was in an actual olive farm.
The informal tour included a view of the farm, an eye opening view of the monstrous tractor style machine used at harvest time to shake the olives from the trees. We were given a step by step lesson of the pressing process that takes place within hours of the olives separating from the branches that shaped them.
Harvest time is in the month of September in Texas and California. I anticipate an opportunity to be part of the annual ritual which is only a small part of the big story of the olive. | agronomy |

How Does a Gomphrena Plant Look?
Your kids would be naturally drawn to the gomphrena flower when it blooms. Don’t be surprised because the plant is not only beautiful but appealing. The actual flowers are a small yellow or white trumpet-like-looking plant.
Even butterflies and other pollinators find the globe amaranth fascinating too. Its colorful flowers are a bundle of stiff and papery bracts that support the actual flowers.
The structure of the Gromphrena is bracts with specialized leaves around the flowers. These leaves look like petals, and you can notice them with the yellow stamens poking out. It has a relatively short stature of two feet. Yeah, right, but it doesn’t take away from the flower’s beauty!
Gomphrena comes in an incredible variety of species aside from the classic globosa. So, get ready for some exciting colors in your home.
What are the Varieties of Gomphrena?
As a result of continuous research, new species of Gomphrena keep popping up regularly. Now, isn’t that exciting!
The two primary varieties include Gromphrena globosa and the Gromphrena Haageana.
First is the globosa, a delightful plant with a branching stem. Although it’s more challenging to grow, its multiple clover-like flowers make it great for bouquet arrangement. So, get ready to pick some lovely flowers for that special someone!
Please note that the globosa flower is fragile and could brittle or break when harvesting. So, be careful when harvesting. You just might break someone’s heart if you don’t.
The haageana variety has long, straight stems that are generally strong and sturdy. The stem is lean and taller than the classic globosa. In a way, this makes it easier for the plant to withstand high wind. Haageana is more challenging to use for designs as they require a flowing organic shape.
Other Varieties of Gomphrena Plant
These varieties of Gomphrena have undergone numerous hybrid processes. But you could find several cultivars available for use. The result of these innovations is varieties of exciting flowers for your garden.
The hybrid varieties include:
- Ping pong mix
- All Around Purple
- Buddy series,
- Strawberry field
- Las Vegas and
- Bicolor Rose.
The firework is large and can reach up to four feet in height. Its bracts are pink and feature yellow stamens that look like exploding firecrackers. In Louisiana, it blooms from spring to fall non-stop, attracting loads of butterflies.
Buddy series and the Gnome are thriving in various regions in Central American and globally. But you can find them in three exquisite color variants. They are best for border and edge arrangements, maybe for fencing purposes.
Bicolor rose is the tallest of the Gromphrena plants. The plant stands 36 inches in length. The bicolor offers a lot of health benefits that you may want to explore.
Whatever species you choose, Globe Amaranth will give you a long, happy season of blooms. Since it requires low maintenance, you sure get more value for your efforts.

How to Grow Gomphrena Plant
Gomphrena (Globe Amaranth) is an easy-to-grow plant even from the seedling. Its color retention makes it a favorite even after drying. So, to spice up, your flower garden here’s what to do.
Picking a Gomphrena Variety for Your Garden
Go with the variety that works well with your climate. However, each type provides excellent value as landscaping plants. Since they can serve as borders, you can better appreciate their beauty from afar.
You could blend most Globe Amaranth of the same species in a garden. For instance, a strawberry field and hot biscuit will give a beautiful color combination.
For cut flowers, go for haageana strawberry field; a white Audray will do for a less bold appearance.
Growing the Gomphrena from Seed to Maturity
To get the best quality and value, please start the planting process from the seed stage. But ensure you have good sunlight exposure as heat makes the process relatively easy.
Basic Gomphrena Planting Methods
The primary methods required for planting gomphrena include:
- Soil blocks,
- Cell trays,
- Direct sowing.
Each of these methods comes with a prerequisite to a great outcome. A soil block would require placing the Gromphrena seeds at the top. It enables the plant to receive enough sunlight.
With a water trough, you can regularly water the plant to help it germinate properly.
If you intend to use the direct sowing method, please use a shallow trench to get good spacing.
Slight-press the gomphrena seeds into the soil. But please ensure the soil temperature is about 50 Fahrenheit. The temperature range should be 70°F to 75 °F. So, with the proper sun exposure and regular watering, your plant should do fine.
Fortunately, the gomphrena plant does not require so much fertilizer. But a little manure occasionally will help replenish the soils’ nutrients.
Gradually, the Gomphrena plant will begin to stretch out and grow stalks. After a few weeks, you should see the flower buds on the stalks. At this point, you’d realize that harvest for the cut flower is here.
Gomphrena Weed Control
A good tip to note when caring for Gromphrena is the need for regular weed control. De-weed regularly to avoid weeds from competing with the limited nutrients available to the Gromphrena. Eliminate anything that uses up the space, water, and nutrients in the soil.
Gomphrena Pest Control
Be equally mindful of common pests and problems associated with the plant. The common gomphrena plant diseases include Botrytis, Edema, Cercospora leaf blight, and numerous viruses.
Yes, I said Gomphrena does not suffer so much from pest infestation. But, they are not immune from pest issues. Commons pests include Aphids and Thrips.
Getting rid of the above pest is not so complicated. Please secure the garden hose with spray to get the job done. The application of organic neem oil by spray will do the trick.
You can avoid outright infestation by putting these necessary factors in place:
- Plant in full sun to prevent fungal growth.
- Adhere to spacing recommendations for planting.
- Regularly weed the garden.
- Don’t over-saturate with water, particularly at the seedling stage.
How to Grow Gromphrena in Pots
A field or garden is not the only place Globe Amaranth will thrive. If you prefer starting from indoors, please feel free to do so. A pot at the terrace can do the magic as well.
Gomphrena seedlings need approximately 14 to 21 days of germination time. You can start the seedling 6 to 8 weeks before late frost.
An effective way to speed up the process is to soak the seeds in warm water 24 hours before planting. Did you notice, I said, warm water? You require a pot with a minimum depth and width of 200mm will do.
It would be best if you got a quality potting mix from a recommended store. Simply press the seeds lightly into the pot and work within the appropriate temperature.
When the seedlings begin to emerge, ensure they have access to adequate sunlight. You can work with a fluorescent plant light for 16 hours to get the job done.
All the plant needs are moderate watering to thrive. Also, don’t forget to apply the right plant food every one to two weeks.
How to Harvest a Gromphrena Plant
Yeah, I guess you should be excited already! For me, this is about the most exciting part of the entire process always- harvest time!
If you only need to harvest a single stem, you may run into some murky waters. But there’s no reason to fret. It would help if you opted for cutting the whole stem from the base. Right from there, you can trim out the stem and strip the needed leaves.
Once the Gomphrena gets to maturity, you should harvest the flower regularly. That’s the best way to avoid elongated flowers gradually getting out of shape.
Remember they produce all through the season, but be ready to say goodbye to the frost.
Gomphrena epitomizes happiness, whether as a garden plant, bouquet bunch, or dried floral wreath.
Caring for the Gromphrena
Sunlight and water
The Gromphrena is an annual plant. It is particularly in love with the sun and produces effectively with full light. It can sometimes tolerate partial sunlight or shade in late summer.
Moderate watering must be a regular feature to help the soil moist. About one to two weeks of rainfall or irrigation should be good enough. In scorching seasons, ensure you provide water to saturate the roots.
Landscape and soil
Gomphrena is a beautiful bedding plant and provides a carefree show of colors. These plants are rather drought-tolerant and thrive better in well-drained locations.
Therefore, Gomphrena requires a soggy soil of 10 to 12 inches from the plant. A sandy soil to average garden soil is best for planting the Gromphrena seeds. You will do well to avoid alkaline soil conditions as they are not gomphrena-friendly. You could use heavy clay soil but watch out for a stunted plant.
Temperature and Humidity
The Globe amaranth will do best in virtually any climate. Nevertheless, do not plant the seeds outdoors until the soil temperature is warm enough during spring.
So, what’s your take on the gomphrena plant? How soon are you going to commence growing a gomphrena plant?
Whatever the case, Gomphrena allows you to become a friend of the earth. Go Green! You also get to enjoy the peace and serenity that goes with being a gardener. Need I also add the pleasure of beautifying your environment, preparing those lovely bouquets, and more?
The Gromphrena is an ornamental plant. Are you seeking love, immortality, and friendship? Notwithstanding, the tender sprouts, leaves, roots, flowers, and seeds offer more than just food and aesthetics. If you are looking for a flower to combine, here is a great choice. | agronomy |
