The partnership with the Swiss authorities will reduce the export of uncooked cocoa beans and cocoa merchandise and enhance the livelihoods of cocoa farmers.
This comes on the again of the Cocoa Sustainability Initiative by one in every of Switzerland’s largest chocolate producers, Halba.
Deputy Minister for Commerce and Trade, Herbert Krapa, throughout a cocktail occasion on the Swiss Residence on Monday, informed Citi Enterprise Information the federal government is contemplating getting Halba to start full-scale processing in Accra to spice up manufacturing within the sector.
“They [Halba] import vital quantities of cocoa beans to Switzerland for processing. We expect that it is very important proceed that partnership and, with time, see how it’s possible to get them to start out full-scale processing in Accra,” he talked about.
“President Akufo-Addo has a imaginative and prescient to make sure that majority of cocoa that we harvest and produce right here in Ghana is processed proper right here in order that we are able to have the roles created, financial advantages, and abilities switch and inclusive financial progress that the President has set to realize for the Ghanaian individuals.”
Ghana lately has begun rising its personal cocoa processing. For instance, in 2019, it elevated processing from 200,000 tonnes to 400,000 tonnes.
Although analysts have welcomed the transfer, it largely stays on the stage of semi-finished merchandise. This implies the key share of worth in a chocolate bar continues to be generated overseas.
Switzerland is without doubt one of the leaders in cocoa processing and manufacturing of tertiary cocoa merchandise.
For years now, one in every of Switzerland’s largest chocolate producers, Halba, has been working a CHF3.5 million funded program often known as the Cocoa Sustainability Initiative which ensures sustainable and different livelihoods for cocoa farmers in Ghana.
The CEO of Switzerland’s largest chocolate producer, Halba, Andreas Hasler outlined the corporate’s future plans for cocoa farmers in Ghana.
“We’re campaigning for smallholder farmers to earn a residing revenue in Ghana. We began the venture final October, and now we’ve paid the primary quantity of about US$84,000 as a further compensation for greater than 300 cocoa farmers. The growth continues, and 450 farmers can revenue from this added revenue.” | agronomy |

It’s important to be able to tell the weeds from the flowering plants because some weeds actually look like flowering and garden plants, and this makes it more difficult in seeking the weeds out to get rid of them. So bear in mind that part of growing your own front or backyard garden means that weeds will eventually grow there as well and they will need to be exterminated.
Please take note that some publications and websites are saying that some weeds are edible. Nothing of this sort has ever been proven yet in agricultural science. So before you start pulling out your weeds and mixing them into your vegetable soup, remember too, that most weeds are poisonous, which is why they can be your garden plant killers.
You could say that one country’s weed is another country’s garden plant, but most everyone will agree that since you’re growing a home garden in the western hemisphere rather than the mountain regions of Asia, a weed here is an uninvited invader in the home garden. Below are a list and description of the most common weeds that usually invade any home garden so they can easily be identified as the intruders that they are and promptly removed.
Believe it or not, crabgrass is grown in some countries in Southeast Asia for gardens and public parks because of its resilience and fast growth. But in the U.S., crabgrass tops the list of lawn and garden complaints. It’s a fast-growing grass that reproduces by spreading seeds and by rooting at the lower joints. This weed suddenly appears during mid-spring through the summer when the soil is warm. It grows well even under very dry and hot conditions. Start removing crabgrass as soon as it appears in the garden. Dig it out by the roots with a spading fork and don’t let it go to seed. Roots left behind will grow back fast, so make sure the weed is completely dug out and not just the top portion is removed.
To prevent crabgrass in the future, you can handle the problem in two stages. As soon as spring arrives, apply corn gluten meal, an organic pre-emergent herbicide. Spring is when the soil is cold and the crabgrass is weakest. Crabgrass is only an annual weed, so it starts from seed every year. The organic herbicide will prevent the seed from germinating, thus preventing it from sprouting. Next, re-seed your lawn during the start of fall. This will allow the new grass time to grow strong before the next summer, and be ready for next year’s annual crabgrass attack.
The best prevention against crabgrass is a thick and healthy lawn, with soil containing a proper pH balance at 7.0 to 7.5. Perennial ryegrass is the best enemy against crabgrass. It also provides some insect control because it emits a natural poison that makes small and damaging bugs really sick. Fertilizing is also key and must be done in the spring and autumn. Crabgrass thrives in compacted lawns, so aeration will help a lot. A mixture of 1 pint of hydrogen peroxide, diluted to 3 percent, per 100 square feet of lawn can also help eradicate the pesky plant.
This is another annual weed that reproduces by seeds. Pigweed is characterized by its fleshy, red taproot. This weed appears in late spring or early summer and thrives well in warm weather. Try pulling out this weed before it flowers. Make sure you dig out the roots as well. To prevent weeds in the future, cover your garden plot with a winter mulch. When early spring arrives, the whole garden must be tilled shallowly. In the process of tilling, you may bring up some pigweed seed so it’s best to mulch again. Cover the soil with five layers of wet newspaper and cover that with 3-6 inches of mulch.
A hard weed that reproduces by seeds, this narrow-leafed weed loves to invade meadows, pastures, and unsuspecting home lawns. This weed will appear in any season all year round. Fortunately, the weed can easily be removed by hand and easily destroyed by burning after being pulled out and has dried out.
A common annual weed that reproduces through seeds and from deep, horizontal roots. This flowering vine sprouts in the late spring and can be seen throughout the summer. Though the plant’s flowers are attractive, morning glory is still technically a weed and can become a big problem in warm weather, when they spread fast and ruthlessly. You need to dig out this weed with its roots before it flowers.
This weed is a fast growing annual that reproduces through seeds. This is a summer weed that can rapidly remove moisture from the soil, depriving your garden plants and flowering plants of precious water and moisture. Remove it as soon as it makes an appearance. You can also cultivate this weed out of your garden using a sharp hoe.
A creeping, persistent perennial grass that reproduces through seeds, and is the common long grass that you usually see in prairies and meadows, especially in movies. That should give you an idea of just how tall the weed grows. It’s long, jointed, straw-colored rhizomes form a heavy mat in the soil, from which new shoots can also appear. Dig out this weed as soon as you see it in your garden, making sure you dig out the roots as well.
There are two species of chickweed: Perennial and Annual. Mouse-ear chickweed is perennial, which forms a dense, prostrate patch in lawns and gardens. The annual is the more common chickweed that is more delicate in appearance, with leaves that are broad at the base and about half an inch long. Common chickweed is easier to control, but both types have shallow roots, so they can often be removed by hoeing or being pulled out by hand. New plants can grow from broken pieces of rootstock, however, so make sure you remove the entire plant including the roots when using any method of removal.
A healthy lawn can compete against mouse-ear chickweed if the grass is not mowed too short or too frequently. Watering the lawn deeply and infrequently will encourage the lawn grass to grow deeper roots, which also can help it fight against chickweed. Water once every seven to ten days, and apply enough water so that it soaks six to eight inches into the ground. If you choose to remove chickweed, do it before the weed has time to spread its seed, and thus, preventing future problems in your garden area.
Dandelions are known for their bright yellow flowers and puffy, spherical seed heads. This perennial weed is one of the most recognizable garden weeds that continuously terrorize home gardens. The jagged leaves of this perennial make this weed one of the most recognized weed in the world especially when its flower blooms. To pull up dandelions, grasp them firmly by their base and wiggle gently, as this will help to dislodge their deep taproot from the soil. You can also use a hand trowel to dig the weed out. Try to remove the whole dandelion root at once as any piece or root left in the ground may grow back.
An annual weed that reproduces through its tiny black seeds as well as stem fragments. This weed appears in late spring or early summer and likes warm weather and rich, fertile soil. Pull or cultivate out this weed completely with its roots as soon as you see it and destroy the plant. This weed can live unknowingly in your garden soil for years if not pulled out.
A flowering annual weed that reproduces through its seeds. It likes cool weather so it is the exact opposite of the many summer loving weeds out there. Its yellowish-brown seeds can last longer in the ground. Pull out this weed including its roots before it seeds and grows more.
This common annual weed bears clusters of creamy white flowers with narrow and feather-like foliage that releases an aroma when crushed or stepped on. It thrives in dry, arid, and sandy conditions and often indicates a lack of nutrients in the soil. You need to pull out the rhizomes including the roots by hand. It usually grows to a height of about 20 inches and spreads around 12 inches from its roots.
This common weed grows to a height of about 3 inches and spreads around 6 inches from its center. The most common perennial weed in lawns, daisies have white petals and a yellow center. They have green, spoon-shaped leaves that form clusters of rosettes in the grass. They are very resilient even to close mowing, so use a daisy grubber or use your hands to remove them, making sure to include the roots.
This weed is often a problem in recently seeded lawns or in bare patches of existing grass because it tends to absorb much of the soil’s nutrients. It has light purple flower heads and spiky, wavy, thistle-like leaves, which are unpleasant to sit or walk on. Dig them out using a daisy grubber, fork, or by hand, making sure to include the roots. This weed grows to a height of 4 feet and spreads long up to 18 inches.
This persistent and spreading perennial weed grows to a height of about 10 inches and spreads around 16 inches. It bears clusters of violet-blue flowers that are held high above the round, glossy, and scalloped leaves. The aromatic foliage has pronounced veins and surrounds the stems. If necessary, apply an appropriate weed killer if too many weeds have grown to be pulled out by hand or fork.
Selfheal (Prunella vulgaris)
A member of the mint family, this perennial weed can rapidly spread and colonize a lawn using its fast underground runner roots. It has attractive, purplish-blue hooded flowers, and the leaves are borne in pairs along its square stems. Apply an appropriate weed killer if too many weeds have grown to be pulled out. This weed grows up to 8 inches and spreads to around 12 inches.
Unfortunately, this beautiful flowering weed is, well, a weed, and don’t be fooled by this pretty weed serial killer that will silently kill off your garden plants and flowers by quickly absorbing its nutrients. This weed prefers damp soils and is a good indicator that drainage may be required. It rapidly spreads using its creeping root system and has small, bright yellow flowers borne on erect stems with three-lobed, toothed foliage. Dig out any established plants including its roots. It will grow to a height of about 24 inches and spreads to around 18 inches from its center.
This is a common broadleaf perennial weed that grows to a height of around 20 inches. This particular pesky weed loves a sunny or shady landscape, your garden lawn, or any general garden areas. They have light green leaves that look like clover and cup-shape yellow flowers in the summer and fall. To control or exterminate, mulch garden areas in the spring to prevent them from growing. Weeds that are able to grow can be pulled out by hand or sprayed with a post-emergence herbicide in the spring or fall.
Sheep’s Sorrel (Rumex acetosella)
This common perennial weed loves dry, acidic soil conditions, the perfect weed that comes out in the more arid states of the U.S. This common weed has unusual arrow-shaped leaves and produces small, green flowers that turn to pinkish-red seed heads. Be sure to dig out the entire taproot to prevent the plant from regenerating. It grows to a height of around 10 inches and spreads to around 16 inches. | agronomy |

Was it perfect in the Garden of Eden? I always thought so until recently, well actually I didn’t think about it I just assumed so. Does that make sense? Heaven was perfect, Eden was perfect, it was all perfect until Eve ate that non-botanically specific piece of vegetation. Right?
It’s not that we haven’t had some excellent teaching along the way but until recently we didn’t have the chance to have a Dr. Dr. Dr. who reads his New Testament in Greek to talk to about these questions. So, heaven wasn’t perfect, Satan got in, the garden wasn’t perfect Satan got in there and the two people sinned.
This is really about my actual garden and that I grew up in a garden that was in tip top very tidy shape with all the weeds removed. Like I’m sure it would have looked in Adam and Eve’s garden where everything was perfect. Except why did Adam have to work?
Genesis 2:15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.
Are weeds new or did they occur in the garden that Adam tended too? In this great documentary called “Back to Eden” the guy has some cool thoughts about this subject and great thoughts about the weeds in my garden! If I manage my garden like God manages the forests and things man doesn’t tend then the closer I get to the natural processes of growing the easier it will be, which means I’ll have weeds but I’ll outgrow them with good seeds!
I’ve been avoiding my yard since my mom moved out. For almost nine years she tended the garden in our yard then she abandoned me to marry this adorable old neighbor of ours! I kept calling it her garden and telling her it was going to die but then I came across this really awesome concept of Permaculture which reminded me of the Back to Eden video and I realized I should take some responsibility for MY garden.
We’ve got a pretty busy life with kids, adventure and community so I couldn’t see how I could get out there every single day but with the Permaculture Design I think we can make it happen.
There are some excellent Christian principals in the concept like Care of People, Care of the Earth and the Return of Surplus. There’s also something amazing about spending time in the garden that touches my soul and makes me happy, tired but happy. Our youngest three kids have really been loving it more than all the other things we’ve done so the hope is we’ll soon have an abundance to share with our friends and neighbors.
We also found a great resource Permaculture Student by Matt Powers that is about Jr High level, unless you’re actually getting out in the garden and doing the work, then it’s much harder! If you’ve been thinking about tending a garden with your kids this is a very encouraging resource.
Now if I could just get rain every day like they do in Jamaica it would be so much easier! | agronomy |

The war in Ukraine has highlighted the fragility of cross-border supply chains and countries’ dependence on food imports, as well as adding to existing inflationary pressures. But behind this near-term challenge there are more structural fears about future food supply based on a growing global population and climate change.
The fact of the matter is that our current food supply practices are no longer sustainable and need to be addressed quickly. Such a large-scale transformation will turn the connected agricultural and food supply industries on their heads and such disruption will inevitably present investment opportunities…
Global demographics are changing. The global population is expected to near 10 billion by 20501 – an increase of around 25%. This jump is sizeable enough, but the amount of food we need to produce will double2. Not only will there be more mouths to feed, but as people accumulate more wealth they tend to consume more calories per capita, and these additional calories generally come from animal proteins which are very resource intensive and linked to high GHG emissions.
The way we produce food, especially animal protein, is directly contributing to climate change. Deforestation can be attributed to the production of crops for animal feed, but dairy cattle themselves also emit methane during the digestion process. Climatic shocks and extreme weather are also impacting the production of agricultural products and shrinking agricultural regions.
Finally, food production is incredibly resource intensive – it uses vast amounts of water, land, fertiliser and crop protection chemicals. If we are to increase our food supply by another 50%, will the strain on the planet’s natural resources will be too great?
Food waste can stem from crops rotting on farms, food being damaged during transportation or food that is just thrown away by supermarkets or consumers. And the latter problem is worsening. Consumers are demanding more fresh food and these types of foods are perishable and have shorter shelf lives, which naturally leads to higher wastage levels.
When we consider all the resources that go into producing food, the fact that so much is being wasted is a problem that must be solved quickly.
The food supply transition will also be accelerated by a growing consumer awareness of the link between food and wider sustainability concerns. Whereas in the past consumers were more influenced by price and the power of brands, their focus is now shifting to the food itself – the ingredients, how it’s produced and where it comes from. Digitalisation is empowering this awareness by giving consumers the tools to access analysis and assess the quality of products.
The journey from farm to fork is also a growing issue, with many consumers demanding more locally sourced produce. Meal kit delivery companies are covering this angle, as their unique business model sources products directly from farmers and delivers those ingredients directly to consumers, bypassing both the wholesaler and the retailer. Ingredients of these sorts are typically seasonal and mostly local which provides them with a competitive advantage as they are less reliant on trade flows.
Such changes in consumer habits will force food manufacturers to act and adapt.
Assisting this shift is the vast amount of innovation in the sector, which is improving product quality and helping steer it into the mainstream. And as the market grows, product development is also increasing so there is now a far greater range of tasty products with better nutritional profiles.
Another key breakthrough has been the strategic change in in-store merchandising. Instead of plant-based meat displays being restricted to slow-moving aisles for frozen and speciality products, they have been moved into the fresh meat aisles. This has meant these products are more visible to consumers, raising their profile as well as sales volume.
In the US, GPS technology is used to better inform farmers on when it’s best to irrigate and when to harvest. Such technology can also help with flood detection, which should lower the spoilage of crops. Another radical change is to replace the use of chemically-based fertilisers and pesticides with biological solutions that are less harmful to the wider environment and other insect life.
The quicker and more effectively we can eradicate food waste, the more we ensure the food we grow actually reaches the end consumer.
Thankfully we are seeing innovation right across the food sector, from farm to fork, as companies strive to seek solutions and consumers demand change. And where there’s change, there’s potential for investors to prosper.
At BNP Paribas Asset Management, we believe that certain activities in the food supply chain will be exposed to disruption, meaning there will be opportunities for well-positioned companies to outperform. Our SMaRT – Sustainably Manufactured and Responsibly Transformed – food strategy seeks out those innovators so that our clients can play a role in helping to resolve the food sustainability challenge. | agronomy |

The farmhouse complex has grown over the centuries around a 12th century Franciscan chapel. San Lorenzo has been completely restored to offer guests a comfortable stay in the beautiful rolling hills of Tuscany. Among the olive trees surrounding the house, there is a natural, chemical-free swimming pool fed by the mountain springs.
San Lorenzo is a working olive farm, and the seasonal products from our vegetable garden, fruit trees, and wild herbs form the basic ingredients for our chef's traditional Tuscan delicacies. Our excellent extra virgin olive oil is produced from the farm's more than 1000 olive trees. Our olive trees and gardens are grown organically, without artificial chemicals or pesticides. We serve meals in the beautifully restored 12th century Franciscan chapel. | agronomy |

Deputy Griffin raised the matter in a Parliamentary Question to the Minister.
“The bad weather is not only ruining everyone’s summer, it’s having a serious impact on farming communities. Farmers are being forced to take their cattle indoors and buy feed, as the weather is severely hampering their ability to make silage. This has serious financial implications.
“The Irish Farmers Association estimates that the poor weather could cost the agri-food sector up to €100 million this year, which is a severe blow to local rural economies. Farmers will also be concerned ahead of the grain harvest, which will be delayed due to the lack of sunlight and an abundance of rain.
“Taking these impacts into consideration, I have asked Minister Coveney whether farm payments will be advanced this year to help farmers struggling with cash flow problems. The Minister has confirmed that it’s his intention to seek the approval of the EU Commissioner to allow the payment of a 50% advance of the Single Farm Payment.
“This will come into effect from October 16th, which the Minister has said is the earliest payment date possible, as it is the first day of the new EU financial year. While it is unfortunate that the payments cannot be made even earlier, it will come as some relief to farmers than an advance is being made.
“I will be urging the Minister to keep a close eye on the situation to ensure that farmers are fully supported during this difficult period.” | agronomy |

It may not be known to most, but Italy produces some of the world’s finest nuts.
Some of them only yield small harvests and are losing ground to more profitable varieties. But for nuts lovers, the difference in taste and flavors is worth the extra mone

The resulting social, environmental and economic impacts are severe, contributing to small farmers losing their land and livelihoods, and failing to alleviate poverty. That is why it is so important for all of us to get involved, raise awareness and take action to stop the spread of genetically modified crops. We need a future of food and farming that benefits people and planet, and not just the pockets of big business.
Most GM crops fall in to one of two categories. They are either engineered to resist chemical herbicides, or they are engineered to produce insecticides in the plants themselves. Herbicide resistant crops increase the use of herbicides, increasing costs for farmers as well as creating environmental and health problems, affecting poorer communities who live near large GM farms in developing countries, as well as causing pollution. Insecticide crops are constantly producing toxins when they’re not even necessary, and can indiscriminately kill other insects beneficial for the environment.
GM crops are patented, allowing research, breeding and ultimately the entire food chain of GM crops to be controlled by a few multinational companies such as Monsanto, Bayer, Syngenta, Pioneer and Dow. The GM market is driven by these companies’ desire to sell herbicides as well as seeds, in their aggressive pursuit of profit. Traditional crops and local varieties in combination with modern plant breeding are invariably cheaper and better suited to local conditions.
The cultivation and trade of GM crops adds costs not only for farmers but also for companies in the organic and conventional food and feed supply chain. The costs of keeping seeds, crop and foods separate from GM varieties to avoid contamination is borne by the non-GM producers. This is profoundly unfair — essentially placing the economic burden on the victim, not the polluter.
GM crops do not tackle hunger or poverty
Continued industry promises about the ability of GM crops to tackle the world’s growing social problems are pure myth: there is still not a single commercial GM crop with increased yield or salt-tolerance, enhanced nutrition or other ‘beneficial’ traits. GM crops are confined to a handful of countries with highly industrialised agricultural sectors where GM-cash-crops are grown to be sold on the world market for textiles, feed and fuel, and not to feed people.
So what can you do?
- Spread the word. Tell people about what’s happening with GM and things they can do. Write about GM issues in your local newspaper, zene, blog, etc. Do you have your own website? Link to ours!
- Boycott GM food. Don’t buy food or animal feed with a GM label. Protest and boycott retailers who sell it. Shop at independent whole food shops who are committed to only selling GM free food.
- Call for accurate labelling. Accurate labelling of meat and dairy products that come from animals fed on GM feed is vital so that people have a choice. At the moment there is no way to tell whether food comes from animals fed on GM animal feed or not. Urge your government and elected representatives to act on clearer labelling of meat and dairy products from animals fed on GM.
- Tell supermarkets to keep our food GM-free. There is currently a big push by the biotech industry to force GM foods onto supermarket shelves. Whether they succeed is largely in the hands of the supermarkets, which have most power over the European food supply. Until now the supermarkets, under pressure from consumers, have banned GM ingredients from their own-brand products but hardly any have so far banned the use of GM animal feed in their meat, dairy or egg production lines.You can find lots of useful info on writing to supermarkets including sample letters at GM Freeze. Friends of the Earth have also compiled a league table of supermarkets and their stance on GM animal feed, plus sample letters to supermarkets. | agronomy |

Greenhouse offers numerous lucrative business opportunities. The primary purposes of a greenhouse are the cultivation of annual and perennial crops, the production of premium flowers and vegetables, and the preparation of a nursery through tissue culture by providing highly stable and controlled settings. This makes greenhouse plants thrive consistently even in areas with difficult topography, soil, or temperature. Also, these crops require proper environmental conditions to grow. However, rising urbanization is leading to a decline in arable lands accelerating in the adoption of Modern Farming Techniques driving the Greenhouse market.
Growing population is increasing the need of construction and accommodations on big farmlands. This further leads to a shift from traditional farming techniques to modern farming that does not require arable lands and can be grown under certain environmental conditions. According to United Nations, Food and Agriculture Organization, there should be increase in food production by 70% to meet global food requirements. Simultaneously decreasing agricultural land issues should be overcome by preferring greenhouse farming. Using methods such as controlled environment agricultural technology, where the facilities use climate control systems, greenhouse farming protects crops from adverse weather conditions and gives several benefits to the crop. Additionally, producers are receiving some financial aid from government agencies, which is thought to accelerate market expansion and crops are benefitted significantly through greenhouse farming. For instance, The National Horticulture Board which oversees greenhouse farming in India is offering a 50.0% subsidy on projects with a maximum cap of Rupees 112.0 lakh per beneficiary. However, the high cost of initial investment of Greenhouse stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
The key regions considered for the Global Greenhouse Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. With a 32.05% market revenue share in 2021, Europe is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR in the forecasted period. This growth in the region is majorly due to expanding population and declining land availability. There’s a rise in modern farming techniques to feed many populations. The fastest-growing region is expected to be Asia-Pacific. As the rising demand for homes is to be met with the need to ensure food security, Greenhouse techniques are preferred. Therefore, Greenhouse farming provides higher-yield compared to traditional farming techniques improving the agricultural sector.

Just drill a hole in the base for drainage, put rocks in the bottom of the bucket so your plants don't get over watered, then you’re ready to plant. I love using old buckets for herbs as well. Bonus - many of these old pails are easy to move around if the handle is still attached! | agronomy |

Though we have to rely on these places to buy vegetables, the price is quite high and the quality is not as good as we desire even when we get up early to choose the best one. So why do we have to accept this situation over and over? Why don’t we produce our own veggies so as to improve our health as well as save money for a rainy day?
There are many reasons why you should have a small garden and grow your own vegetables. In this article, we will go through 5 most common reasons for this decision. Growing veggies are not as hard as you think it might be, so don’t worry and let’s get the work started!
There are many benefits that you might not know about veggies that are grown by yourself, that’s the reason why we should know about them so as to have motivation building a small garden.
Taste and Freshness
People often think that fruits and vegetables which are imported and sold in grocery stores or supermarkets are the best with high prices, but they don’t know that they can have their own fruits and veggies with the same quality with much less money. Nothing can compare the taste of home grown veggies, especially when they are just picked. The freshness and taste of those veggies can wake up all your senses before you can even realize.
If you can grow some tomato vines, you can have them right from the vine to the table. That’s the best way to enjoy fresh vegetables. On the other hand, you might not know that the tomatoes on grocery stores are harvested before they are fully ripened and they are made to ripen by chemical methods such as using ethylene gas. That’s why they don’t have the proper amount of sugar and fiber inside and taste less sweet than home grown ones.
When you can have your won veggie garden, you can have fresh fruits and vegetables almost every day. Of course, you have to put some efforts into your garden, but hard work pays off! Every day you can enjoy the taste of freshest lettuce, onions, radishes, and tomatoes that no one can have. People think that growing veggies require a large area, but they don’t know that this work can be done just right in their kitchen.
Nowadays, because of the profit, many farmers and sellers don’t care about the safety of their product anymore. Apart from using ethylene gas to make the fruit ripen, they also use other unsafe chemicals to affect the natural freshness of the products. That’s the reason why when we consume an amount of vegetable and fruit from the market or grocery store, we also consume the remaining of pesticides and chemicals imbued inside the products.
That situation won’t happen when you have your own garden and take care of them on a daily basis. Since you don’t grow veggies for money, you don’t have to take care of the appearance and other features of your fruits. They might be smaller in comparison with other products, but they are 100% clean and safe, and who doesn’t want to taste them? Growing veggies for your family is one of the most effective ways to protect your family from pesticides and harmful chemicals used in farms and stores. Organic farm and garden products are things we are looking for right now because of the quality and reasonable price.
Growing the garden can supply enough veggies and fruits for your family without investing too much money. Many people think that building a small garden and take care of it on a daily basis is such a waste of time and don’t have any real benefits. However, the truth is another way around. Many families have their own gardens though the area is not large and there are not many types of veggie and fruit. The main point is that these gardens are chemical free and produce enough amount of vegetables for their owners’ day by day.
In fact, you can modify your diets with types of veggie and fruit from your garden and kids will be more willing to eat the products that are from their garden where they help growing them. With your own organic garden, you don’t have to worry about the quality of the products comparing to going to stores or markets.
Another thing we shouldn’t forget to mention is that gardening is also a way of exercising and training your physical condition. In addition, gardening helps you escape from the hustle and bustle of the busy life as well as let your hair down after hard working hours.
This is one of the most important considerations when deciding to grow your own garden. If you want to have a green meal before having a garden of your own, you have to consider buying many types of vegetables as well as choosing other things to mix with them.
The price of tools and seeds might be a great cost in the beginning, but after a few periods, everything would pay off. You can even make profits from your own products by selling them locally. It might not be your main way to have money, but it can afford for your meals and make it more flavorful. In addition, you can expand your garden and make more products so as to make it more professional. That’s a good way to guarantee the quality of your food as well as make more money if you have time and put lots of efforts into your work.
Having your own garden is not only a way to have fresh and green veggies but also bring many benefits to you and your family. You should consider building a small one next to your house to make your meals become flavorful and tastier. | agronomy |

The Noodlehead was our first product offered, and is still popular after all these years.
Noodlehead Sprinklers hit every part of your garden, using just the right amount of water. You’ll save water while your plants get what they need.. If you have a property with annual, perennial, vegetable or herb gardens of any size or type, or if you have narrow, small or odd-shaped garden or lawn areas that you need to water, you will love these high quality, low cost garden sprinklers!
Garden Sprinklers That Save Water
The great idea behind the Noodlehead Garden Sprinklers is a small head with 12 flexible tubes coming out of it – every tube with three water flows coming out the top, each angled just 5 degrees away from the others. Each of the tubes is flexible – but stays in the shape you bend it to. So you can send as much water to whatever spot you want. Want one plant to get a lot more water than its neighbors? Point more tubes at it. These sprinklers are small, light-weight, easy to use and put the water where you want it – in the amounts you want. This means you and your family save water.
Every Noodlehead comes with a spike you can use when you wish, to secure the garden sprinkler exactly where you want it. These garden sprinklers screw right onto your garden hose. The tubes can be angled to water at the roots, or you can point the spray more upward to water the leaves of others. In fact, you are able to do both from one garden sprinkler.
Great for Hard to Get or Odd Shaped Areas
The Noodlehead Sprinkler will adapt to any shape or pattern you want! Do you have a narrow stretch of garden or lawn that you’ve never been able to get the right sprinkler for? Don’t pay to put in six pop-up sprinkler heads. You can save a bundle by using one sprinkler instead!
If you have a spot where you want to set up a Noodlehead and leave it, it’s quick and easy to just screw it back on the hose when you are ready to water. You can do that without disturbing the tubes. (We find it easiest to lift the head and spin it onto the hose.) Of course if you’re using the heads on your underground system risers or a permanent hose, you don’t need to do anything.
Stop losing plants here and there because your sprinkler didn’t reach them!
The Noodlehead won the “Best New Product of the Year” at the International Hardware Show. Folks, that the hardware show – imagine the competition. There were 700 competing products!
Moreover, the Noodlehead won “Best New Product of the Year” at the International Invention Convention. It was the best of 200 competing new inventions.
There are two stainless steel fine mesh filter washers on each sprinkler head – on for the garden hose thread and another in the bottom, for when you us and Extend-A-Riser. These mesh filters are washable. Together with the special nozzle design, these really do prevent clogging.
The Noodlehead Garden Sprinkler System is a great product, and it is priced very reasonably. You can try it for up to 30 days to be sure you agree. If you don’t you may return it for a full refund. | agronomy |

You ought to likewise confirm the dirt for the correct pH balance. The pH parity of the dirt differs due to the move of sustenance in the dirt throughout the mid year months. To adjust the corrosiveness of your dirt, you could have a go at utilizing an alternate sort of compost. You should add the new manure to your dirt before winter seems to permit the dirt to appropriately assimilate it. When spring comes, you will have a dirt with a progressively adjusted pH level.
- It is a smart thought to Set up Your Executes

https://caribbeancoffee.gr/en/coffee-en/the-history-of-coffee.html | 2023-12-10T11:31:11 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679101779.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20231210092457-20231210122457-00636.warc.gz | 0.979758 | 1,418 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__38397495 | en | The history of coffee began in Ethiopia, where the coffee tree (Coffeaarabica) grew as a shrub. Initially the whole fruit was used by the local populations, who either chewed or grinded it in small pellets. The oldest reliable reference concerning coffee consumption or knowledge of coffee trees appears in the mid-15th century in Yemen's Sufi churches.
The name of the coffee is derived from the Arabic word qahwa (qahwa) which is a derogation of a part of the original Arabic name of coffee, qahwat al-būnn, which means "coffee wine", which refers to the fact that coffee is used as a substitute for wine, as the Koran prohibits the consumption of alcohol. When coffee first came to Europe it was known as "Arabian wine". Another version places the origin of the name in the Kingdom of Kaffa, the Ethiopian region where coffee was initially being used.
From Africa, coffee became known in Yemen, where slaves from Soudan, as we know it today, brought it with them.
Then, from Yemen, coffee became known further north, at Mecca and Medina, and from there in the major cities of North Africa. Coffee’s property as a means against sleepiness made it popular among the Sulfites, and while the Koran prohibits the consumption of alcohol, coffee was considered a good substitute, and from a social perspective its use was the same as in the West: coffee shops became a place of gatherings, discussions, fun or even gambling.
The first coffee shops were opened in Moka, the main port for coffee trade. Several times, coffee shops became a place where political debates and activities took place, and this is why many attempts were made to shut these places down, however, without success, due to the popularity of this beverage. The attempts made by Imams in Mecca and the Ethiopian Church to generally prohibit coffee as a stimulant beverage, were also unsuccessful.
Coffee (as a finished product – the Arabs strictly prohibited the export of seeds) became known in Europe through Venice, whiche kept strong trade relations with the Arab world, in the late 16th century. Coffee was originally sold by the Venetian merchants to the wealthy people of Venice, as an exotic product. Its popularity grew after Pope Climis VIII tasted it in the 1600s, found it excellent and named it a Christian drink, despite the advice of some people to anathematize it as anIslamic threat to Christianity. The first cafe opened in Italy in 1645.
Dutch people were the first to get coffee seeds and cultivate them,initially at their colonies in Indonesia. At the same time, Baba Budan, on his return from Mekka, smuggled coffee seeds to India, hiding them in the folds of his clothes.
Coffee became rapidly famous in Europe; in England there were 3,000 coffee shops in 1675. Coffee became known in France in 1657.In 1669,the envoy of Sultanate Mohammed IV, who visited Paris brought with him as a large quantity of coffee as a gift.
One of the spoils of the Poles, Austrians and Germans after their victory in Vienna in 1683 were the manysacks of coffee left behind by the defeated Ottoman army. FranceszKulzewski, a Polish officer, to whom these sacks of coffee were given as a gift for his bravery, opened a coffee shop, and he innovated by adding sugar and milk to the coffee. So, thanks to this victory coffee became known in Austria, Poland and Germany.
Coffee was introduced to the American continentby the French through their colonies in Martinique, French Guiana and elsewhere. The first plants were brought by Gabriel de Cliustifrom Martinique in 1714. From there coffee passed to French Guiana. In 1727, Francisco Palette was sent by the Brazilian king to Guiana to bring coffee seeds to his country. As the extrication of the seeds proved difficult, Palletta solved the problem by seducing the French governor's wife, who gave him seeds and coffee sprouts. So the plant came to Brazil, which is today the largest coffee-producing country in the world.
Around the same time, coffee was cultivated in Jamaica, in 1740 in Mexico, in 1784 in Venezuela, and at the end of the century in Colombia. In 1893, coffee passed from Brazil to Kenya and Tanzania, thus completing its intercontinental journey that began 900 years ago in Ethiopia.
There are two main types of coffee trees, which produce two coffee varieties and support the coffee tradeworldwide: Arabica coffee and Robusta coffee.
The Arabica variety, is the oldest of the two varieties. It is believed that it was cultivated for the first time inEthiopia, but, as its name indicates, it was first cultivated at the Arabian Peninsula.
78% of worldwide coffee production is of the Arabica variety. It thrives better at high altitudes, has a very refined taste compared to other types of coffee and contains 1% caffeine.
The Arabica variety nowadays is mainly produced in Central and South American countries and is known for its strong aromatic flavor. Different types of light coffee (mild coffees) are made from high quality Arabica variety.
The Robusta variety is more resistant to plant diseases than theArabica, due to the fact that it contains nearly twice the amount of caffeine (caffeine can paralyze and kill some of the insects that threaten the coffee tree). It is a "sturdy" variety with high production per plant. It thrives at lower altitudes and has a tougher, harder taste.
The Robusta variety, which accounts for the remaining 22% of the world production, has the potential to adapt to hot and humid climates, where the Arabica variety cannot thrive. Despite its more neutral taste the Robusta variety is very popular, especially in the form of dissolvable coffee.
The majority of the current coffee products are a combination of the two varieties, with different characteristics,in order to satisfy the different consumer needs.
The most well-known effect of coffee is that on the central nervous system. In reasonable quantities, coffee improves mental abilities as it alerts and reduces tediousness. The main reason for that is that it contains caffeine, an alkaloid that acts as a tonic. For this reason coffee is usually consumed in the morning hours or during work. Most susceptible to the effect of caffeine are the elderly, especially with regard to sleep. On the contrary, when we are talking about small quantities of coffee, children are no more susceptible thanadults. Sometimes, coffee helps pupils and students to maintain their concentration when they study for many hours.
In the human brain, caffeine causes vasoconstriction, while in regional vessels, dilation. Therefor in medicine, caffeine is used sometimes tofight migraine. | agronomy |

Dr. Huang’s research focuses on developing food and bioprocessingtechnologies to produce food ingredients and green chemicals from agriculturaland food products for improving the sustainability of the food supply chain.
Nearly 30% of food is being wasted globally, resulting in billionsof dollars of economic losses, including the food itself and associated water,energy, and chemicals spent in the food supply chain. In this presentation, Dr.Huang stated the current situation of food waste around the world. He talkedabout how processing technologies were applied to convert food wastes intohigh-value food ingredients and functional energy storage materials, with thepurpose of reducing food waste, recover resources, and promote sustainability. Themarket price of protein increases exponentially with the protein concentrationin the product. Dr. Huang set the brewer’s grains as examples to help studentsbetter understand the processing methods, illustrating that brewer’s grainscould be divided into high-protein products and high-fiber products to achievecomprehensive utilization.
In addition to scientific research, Dr. Huang also narrated his journalin the last eighteen years about study experience. He encouraged students to havea good command of basic knowledge and stay open-minded to speed up disciplineintegration. | agronomy |

Initially, symptoms may be more obvious on one side of the tree, corresponding to the part of the root system with the most damage. Levels of calcium and magnesium in the soils can affect disease progress. Citrus root and collar rot diseases are common in wet areas (Photo 1). In Fiji, the order of resistance to collar rot is trifoliate orange, sour orange, mandarin, sweet orange, grapefruit, bush lemon, lime, and Lisbon lemon. Phytophthora root rot. The Phytophthora species involved are not fungi, although they have many fungal characteristics; they are water moulds or oomycetes, related to algae.

Initially, tips of newly infected plants start to yellow and dry followed by softening of the "neck" of the plants that eventually fall over. In 1896, Black Shank was first described in Indonesia by Van Breda de Haan. Stored fruit may show a white cottony growth of the water mould, especially if kept at high humidity. In tobacco Black Shank affects the roots and basal stem area, but all parts of the plant can become infected. Citrus Phytophthora Info.

Tolerance to Phy… Remove soil (brought by ants) trapped behind tree guards on young trees, if these are being used. Also, there is much morphological variation in colony type with different isolates of P. nicotianae and the growth may differ when grown on different media. Infection can proceed rapidly once the pathogen has made an entrance into the plant. Phytophthora spp. (Always refer to the product label for the correct method of application, timing, and also ways to avoid possible leaf burn.). Typically hyphae can be seen in the pith and cause blackening and necrosis. Regardless of the great importance of P. nicotianae for rootstocks, some mechanisms of resistance or susceptibility still require further scientific investigation. The focus of this thesis is on the application of plant metabolomics methodologies to study citrus rootstock tolerance towards the root rot pathogen Phytophthora nicotianae. Splashing water from rain or irrigation can infect healthy plant leaves leading to more repeating secondary cycles. Zoospores interact with the host by sensing and moving toward the nutrient gradients near the root tip and wounds of the plant. Some aspects of the biology and ecology of P. citrophthora and P. nicotianae are revised, like the inoculum dissemination, the fungus reproduction and epidemiology. Onion shows a leaf and stem infection. Above-ground symptoms are a loss of vigour and spindly growth. Often gum oozes from the wounds which can extend up to 50 cm above soil level and down to the roots. As this happens, tobacco leaves turn brown and become not marketable. De bibitziekte in de Deli-tabak veroorzaakt door Phytophthora nicotianae. In groves with a previous history of foot rot, consider use of Swingle citrumelo or other tolerant rootstocks (see Florida Citrus Rootstock Selection Guide) for replanting. Frequently inspect trees, especially during the first 2 years after planting, and after flooding. Phytophthora palmivora prefers moist dense soils and can cause severe brown rot infections because the inoculum can climb the tree from fruit to fruit. Soils that are not saturated will lead to little to no disease development, so water management is important. Feeder root rot of citrus causes a slow decline of the tree.

Fawcett (1936) described damage caused by Phytophthora spp. The complex of citrus diseases caused by Phytophthora spp. Damping off symptoms can be observed in young seedlings. Zoospores, chlamydospores, and sporangia produce a germ tube that directly penetrates the epidermis of the plant. Finding new lines of resistance is becoming increasingly important due to new discovered resistant races of the pathogen. Citrus root weevils sometimes attack feeder roots and encourage the progression of decline. Trunk - infection of the trunk by Phytophthora results in dark water soaked areas in the area of active infection. Phytophthora nicotianae Breda de Haan (syn. Een probleem van alle aardappeltelers. 1896. Many fields only contain one mating type, so the zoospores rarely germinate and rarely cause epidemics. Phytophthora foot rot of sweet orange showing bark necrosis, slight gumming, and callusing (Florida). During favorable conditions, new generations of spores can be produced every 72 hours, so if this disease is not managed well it can be very destructive. pH management can be difficult because tobacco cannot survive in very low pH soils. , Phytophthora nicotianae has a wide host range, affecting agriculture rich areas all over the world. Another asexual structure and secondary inoculum, appearing ovoid, pear, or spherical in shape are called sporangium. Generally, Phytophthora nicotianae only causes brown rot on fruit within 3 feet of the ground. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for the specific detection of Phytophthora nicotianae and P. citrophthora in citrus roots and soils. On onion it causes the disease known as Phytophthora neck and bulb rot. Bovendien kunnen de sporen via de grond de knollen aantasten. et Zucc.) Fungi in the genus Phytophthora are destructive phytopathogens, and caused the well-known Irish potato famine in 1840s. hypovirulent isolate of phytophthora nicotianae on citrus by glenn curtis colburn a dissertation presented to the graduate school of the university of florida in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of doctor of philosophy university of florida 2004 . Lesions usually occur on the bark or at the bud union. Infection leads to systemic rotting of the root system and wilting and chlorosis in the leaves. This disease is relatively common in citrus groves in the Salt River Valley and Yuma areas. Black Shank needs water for germination and movement because zoospores swim through soil pores and standing water. This can lead to severe yield losses as all the fruit on the tree are at risk. Crop rotation is recommended in combination with resistant varieties as genetic controls. Swingle citrumelo, a hybrid between a grapefruit and a trifoliate orange is resistant to severe citrus tristeza, Phytophthora root rot, and has tolerance to waterlogging. CULTURAL CONTROLCultural practices are important in the management of citrus root and collar rots. Prune low hanging branches to at least 1 m above soil level. Phytophthora nicotianae in citrus nurseries in Egypt Ten samples per each rootstock of 200 mL soil and associated feeder roots were collected monthly at a depth of 5‒10 cm from 2 L pots using soil probes, and each sample was obtained by mixing three sub … Citrus root weevils sometimes attack feeder roots and encourage the progression of decline. RESISTANT VARIETIESThe choice of root stock varieties is very important in the management of citrus root and collar rot diseases. Sweet orange tree more than half girdled by a Phytophthora lesion at the base of the tree (Florida). Notice the position of P. nicotianae selected specimen1 CPHST BL 44 = P7661 (WPC) (MG865550). Z. Zoospores are attracted to roots by the chemicals that they produce. Phytophthora parasitica is active during warm weather when roots are … This pathogen can cause root rot, crown rot, fruit rot, leaf infection, and stem infection. Two species of phytophthora commonly affect Florida citrus. Phytophthora root rot. Disease is favored by pH values greater than 6.2, so lowering the pH is an effective method for preventing germination. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for the specific detection of Phytophthora nicotianae and P. citrophthora in citrus roots and soils. Phytophthora root rot in citrus is caused by the pathogenic fungi P. citrophthora and/or P. nicotianae. Apply copper fungicides to the base of the trunk to prevent collar rots. Both are primarily soilborne but differ in how they spread as brown rot. A minimum three-year rotation is recommended. The cultural control, Crop rotation, is very effective at limiting disease. Lesions may exude copious amount of gum and a brown necrotic area will be found under the bark lesions. Phytophthora spp. , This pathogen causes secondary cycles of disease by mode of zoospores. Citrus requires good drainage! Once the root surface is contacted, zoospores encyst and a germ tube will emerge penetrating the epidermis. Leaf - yellow foliage and shoot die-back. Fruit rots occur on tomato, papaya, and eggplant. 149), and these are capable of swimming short distances before germinating and infecting. Loss of … It also depends on the likelihood of the trees suffering from waterlogging, even if it only occurs occasionally. Photo 2 Diseases of fruit crops in Australia (2009). infect fruit causing brown rot that leads to fruit drop in the groves and postharvest decay. and citrus roots versus leaves. A variable lifestyle favouring pathogenicity Phytophthora nicotianae, generally considered as a root pathogen, possesses a wide host range of herba-ceous and woody plants, and causes crown rots, and Infected leaves may show grey lesions. South Pacific Commission. This pathogen thrives in warm climates, so it is destructive on crops grown in these areas. In the United States this is a major pathogen of ornamentals, tobacco, and tomato. Phytophthora insolita is known to be associated with citrus and reported for the rst time in India. This pathogen can cause root rot, crown rot, fruit rot, leaf infection, and stem infection. Produced with support from the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research under project PC/2010/090: Strengthening integrated crop management research in the Pacific Islands in support of sustainable intensification of high-value crop production, implemented by the University of Queensland and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community. , Several kinds of management exist for the prevention and suppression of disease. in the nursery, and inspection for fibrous root rot in the nursery or grove before planting is advised. Phytophthora foot rot or gummosis of citrus in Arizona is caused by two fungus-like soil microorganisms, Phytophthora nicotianae (syn. In citrus, all species of Phytophthora are responsible for diseases gummosis and fibrous root rot, especially. Less than one propagule per gram of soil can lead to an epidemic. The most important species include P. nicotianae and P. citrophthora. Disease is prominent in many agricultural productive regions and therefore is a major host to many warm environment crops. Citrus root and collar rot (Phytophthora nicotianae) occurs on bele (see Fact Sheet no. 11:19-30 … The hyphae are heterothallic and require two mating types to produce oospores, the sexual survival structure. … The first sign of the diseases are spots on the trunk usually at the graft between the scion and rootstock or at soil level. Journal of Phytopathology, 122(3):208-221 It causes root, fruit and crown rot, blight and cancer diseases on various crops like tobacco (black shank), green pepper, tomato or citrus. Planting stock should be free from Phytophthora spp. Remove any trees with trunk infections that have led to their death. P. nicotianae is the kind that affects citrus plants in Brazil. Passion fruit dieback disease Phytophthora nicotianae var. … The oomycete is an important soil-borne pathogen with a worldwide distribution. Root rots occur if soil moisture is high; in such situation the fibrous (fine) roots can be destroyed in a few days; the outer tissues become soft and are easily stripped leaving only the white inner more resistant part, called the "stele". This fact sheet is a part of the app Pacific Pests and Pathogens. Notice the position of P. nicotianae selected specimen1 CPHST BL 44 = P7661 (WPC) (MG865550). Fruit rots occur on tomato, papaya, and eggplant. P. parasitica Dastur.) Metalaxyl or mefenoxam are chemistries used to control Phytophthora nicotianae. The pathogen interferes with transport by infecting the roots. Ridomil Gold is an example a systemic pesticide with a Metalaxyl chemistry. Bud high on root stocks (>30-45 cm) to avoid spores being splashed by rain onto susceptible parts of the stem or trunk. decay of fibrous roots. In final stages of the disease the stem begins to turn black, hence the name Black Shank. Phytophthora nicotianae is reported on citrus from Australia, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, New Caledonia, Niue, Papua New Guinea, and Wallis & Futuna. Apply foliar sprays of phosphorous acid, after times of flowering and the main leaf flushes. Upon death of the host, the decomposing infected tissues will release the pathogen back into the soil, in the form of chlamydospores and zoospores. Chlamydospores are the primary survival structure, the primary inoculum, and are usually produced in abundance. P. parasitica) and P. citrophthora. Behaviour of Phytophthora citrophthora and P. nicotianae var. When conditions are right (temperatures of 32-36oC, and chemical stimulants from the roots), the chlamydospores germinate and produce spores called "sporangia". Citrus trees with feeder root rot may also display damage on the trunk. If uncertain, testing of nursery stock for Phytophthora spp. Look for dieback symptoms, often on one side of the tree, and inspect the trunk at soil level. Citrus growers need every available tool to fight disease, reduce tree stress and keep groves healthy against Phytophthora root rot. Root rot symptoms are observed on tobacco, poinsettia, tomato, pineapple, watermelon, and as well as African violet. Overall, from their study they observed that Black Shank severity was increasing in Georgia due to Metalaxyl sensitivity and resistant races of Black Shank. in Clade 1: portion of the ITS rDNA neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree (1000 bs) of 161 species [139 ex-types (ET) and 22 well-authenticated specimens (SE)]. In tobacco Black Shank affects the roots and basa… Android Edition Without this means of sensing entry points there would be no secondary cycles of disease. Phytophthora nicotianae Breda de Haan 1896 - (black shank of tobacco) . The longer an infected field is planted in a crop other than the initial infected crop, the lower the population will become. Biochemical mechanisms for tolerance of citrus rootstocks against Phytophthora nicotianae by ANDRIES FOURIE Submitted to the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (Department of Microbiology and Plant Pathology) UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of … Phytophthora nicotianae Infection of Citrus Leaves and Host Defense Activation Compared to Root Infection | Read by QxMD. Field locations not previously planted with citrus are probably free of citrus-specific P. nicotianae. Chlamydospores are produced asexually and serve as long lived resting structures, surviving from four to six years. They have motile spores and this sets them apart from fungi. caused by Phytophthora nicotianae var. A culture of the oomycete is required for identification; this can be obtained from the margin of trunk lesions or from the lesions on fruits. According to the University of Florida Institute for Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS), Phytophthora root rot is one of the most important diseases threatening citrus yield. DISEASE SYMPTOMS Damping-off Damping-off can affect newly germinated seedlings of … Low-lying areas of the soil that remain wet for prolonged periods of time will have more disease. parasitica. A resting spore, the chlamydospores are capable of surviving in the soil for years, but it has been noted that cold winters cause an inhibitory effect on the survival rate. Burley Tobacco, Burley Tobacco hybrids, and Dark Tobacco are varieties of tobacco that are resistant to Black Shank. They are also splashed in rain drops from the soil to the lower fruit. To disrupt chlamydospore germination crops should be grown in drained disease free soil. Citrus trees with feeder root rot may also display damage on the trunk. 152), passionfruit (see Fact Sheet no.154), pineapple, tobacco, tomato (see Fact Sheet no. , This pathogen thrives in temperatures ranging from 84–90 °F (29–32 °C). Mededeelingen uit 's Lands Plantentuin Batavia. Worldwide. Initially, the tolerance of 16 citrus rootstocks towards the pathogen was assessed in greenhouse experiments. These spores germinate in warm and moist soil to produce a germ tube that infects plants or produces a sporangium. This pathogen synergy with root-knot nematodes has the ability to overcome much of the resistance of cultivars especially bred for P. nicotianae resistance. The first above ground symptom that will be observed is the wilting of plants, which leads to stunting. 149 & 154). Fruit may also become infected by spores splashing from the soil, developing a firm, leathery, brown rot with a strong smell of fermentation. 15: 57 (1896), Phytophthora nicotianae Breda de Haan stdterms.in GBIF Secretariat (2017). Phytophthora nicotianae is reported on citrus from Australia, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, New Caledonia, Niue, Papua New Guinea, and Wallis & Futuna. In North Carolina black shank can be found in every county that grows flue-cured tobacco and currently causes statewide losses of 1 to 2.5 percent per year. A factor known as hormone α1 is secreted by the A1 mating type of Phytophthora nicotianae, and induces the formation of sexual spores in the A2 mating type. Once established, further reproduction of both chlamydospores and sporangia will occur within host tissues, amplifying the spread of disease within the host plant and spreading out into nearby plants. The bark dies, dries and falls away, showing brown stained rots with cracks beneath. Dead bark tends to break away from the trunk in vertical strips. Disease was observed near Georgia in 1915 and reached major tobacco growing areas of Kentucky and North Carolina in the 1930s and 1940s. Editors, Tony Cooke, Denis Persley, Susan House. It is a rare and poorly Trunk branch canker on lemon showing gummosis and bark death caused by Phytophthora nicotianae (Argentina). Spread over longer distances is by the movement of water on the surface or within soil; it also occurs in soil on machinery and footwear, and also by the movement of contaminated nursery plants. Phytophthora root rot in citrus is caused by the pathogenic fungi P. citrophthora and/or P. nicotianae. Photo 1. 157) and many other hosts. Splashing water from rain or irrigation can infect healthy plant leaves leading to more repeating secondary cycles. As the disease progresses the … Addition of fresh CMW to two different citrus soils reduced colony growth of P. nicotianae after the fungus was incubated in the amended soil for 6 days and then recovered on PARPH selective medium. ] Less than one propagule per gram of soil can lead to severe yield losses as all fruit...

We know that burning fossil fuels for transport energy contributes to pollution and climate change. But does buying ethanol or biodiesel to fuel our cars actually mitigate any of the carbon emissions? Or is this simply another way for fuel producers to scam extra dollars from the concerned citizen’s wallet?
As with all of the topics we will discuss on this website, there is no easy answer as to what is the most environmentally friendly option for fuelling our energy-intensive world. Certainly our transport system is fossil fuel intensive, and searching for new ways to reduce carbon emissions produced by this large system is a start to creating a world that is sustainable (whatever that means). But as the environmental blogger Damian Carrington states; “there are good biofuels and bad biofuels: the trick is telling one from the other.”
For an easy-to-understand explanation of biofuels, check out the Biofuels Association of Australia website.
Although Australia’s biofuel industry is currently very small, the industry in the European Union is worth approximately EU10 billion per year. The US also has a large industry, thanks to the Renewable Fuel Standard, which is a law that requires 40% of the annual corn harvest to be used for ethanol production. However, both the European and US laws have recently come under scrutiny from environmental groups and development workers as the realities of biofuels become more apparent.
The basic premise of biofuels is that they emit less carbon than traditional fossil fuels. When biofuels are burnt, the gases are less toxic than fossil fuels, the handling and storage is safer, and there is a carbon sequestration credit that occurs when growing crops for the use of biofuels (this is in opposition to the release of carbon into the atmosphere from extracting fossil fuels from the ground).
However the reality of biofuel production and consumption isn’t as virtuous as it may seem.
First generation biofuels use food crops in the production process, creating a greater demand and ultimately higher world food prices for staple crops such as corn and soybeans. At first glance, this may seem a great solution to maize overproduction in nations such as the US, however traditionally much of the excess in production has gone to food aid to assist sub-Saharan African nations in crisis. And in years of drought or crop spoilage through extreme weather events (think Climate Change predictions), food aid will be first on the proverbial chopping block.
In addition, world food prices are determined predominantly by supply and demand. Basic economics suggests that the more food crops being diverted to fuel production, the higher the price of those crops on the market. The first to suffer from high prices is of course the world’s poorest.
More recently, studies have shown that the rising demand for biofuels worldwide has encouraged farmers to convert more land into agricultural land. This phenomenon has been labeled ILUC – indirect land use change – and is pretty difficult to quantify. However, one study did create a model to measure ILUC worldwide and the results were astounding. It showed that through converting food production land into biofuel cropland, and then converting forest, swamp or savannah into food production land to make up the food gap, food crop-based biofuels in fact increase GHG emissions over time.
Figure 1. Units in grams of CO2 per megajoule of energy.
These realities have caused great concern for the lofty renewable energy targets set by the EU and the US government. The EU has set a target of 10% renewable transport fuels by 2020 and as already stated, the US requires that 40% of its corn harvest be used to make biofuel.
Luckily, clever people have already started on improving the technology for second, third and fourth generation biofuels. Using waste, algae and non-food crops that grow on marginal lands, biofuels can be produced at a much faster rate than their first-generation counterparts, without the negative side effects of land-use change and competition for food.
Check out this page for an interactive explanation of how algae can be used to make biofuels.
This presents some great opportunities for the Australian biofuels market. Australia has large tracts of marginal land that can potentially be used for non-food biofuel crop production. We also possess a multitude of research organisations and universities that are perfectly equipped to refine the technology for next generation biofuels. We have the potential to create a market that is at the forefront of innovation. And considering our mining exploits will inevitably come to an end, this opportunity looks pretty enticing to me.
In order for Australia to take full advantage of this opportunity, public policy will need to be altered. Effective policy will ensure the further development of good biofuels that take into account the full life-cycle of the product, as well as ensuring biodiversity and food security is maintained. However if we are truly dedicated to creating a sustainable transport industry, targets can also be directed at increasing alternative methods of transport, whether it be better public transport systems, electric automobiles, or other alternatives beyond my imagination. A great start might be to improve the current technology of our automobiles so that we can run engines on 100% biofuel, rather than the most common 10 or 20% blends.
So to recap, first-gen biofuels aren’t as clean as they initially appear, although with continued investment in the technology, next generation biofuels present a great opportunity for Australia’s economy and environment. Although more research and refining of the technology must take place, this is an area in which Australia is perfectly positioned to excel and could position itself one day as the world leader.

We are a family run nursery and we specialise in the cultivation of bougainvilleas. The nursery was founded in the 1940s by Charles and Evelyn Clarke in Bradford-on-Avon. With the success of the business and the need to expand, in 1954 the nursery was moved to its current 2 acre site. Today, the nursery is managed by Charles and Patricia Clarke and their children.
The bougainvillea plant was discovered during the round the world voyage of Louis Antoine, Comte de Bougainville (1729-1811), the French admiral and explorer. The plant was classified by Dr Philibert Commerçon (also sometimes spelled Commerson), the French botanist, who accompanied the admiral during a voyage of circumnavigation.
Cormmerson gathered bougainvillea specimens from Brazil during the voyage and the plant was then named in honour of the French admiral.
Bougainvillea brings a myriad of colours to horticulture with a hint of warmer climates inherent in its leaves and flowers. The plant shows a versatility to climates which allows it to flower continually throughout the year.
At Westdale Nurseries, we have been steadily collecting varieties of bougainvillea from all over the world for a number of years and we now have over 200 varieties.
Each year, we increase our stock and variety. We sell year old plants for onward cultivation or more mature plants to grace your home, greenhouse or conservatory.
Do please visit us at our nursery where, not only can you inspect the plants grown exclusively in a quarter of an acre greenhouse but also gain first hand knowledge from our experience of bougainvilleas and useful tips in the growing of this unique flowering plant.
Bougainvilleas are grown in baskets or they can be grown over conservatory roofs to provide a natural shade and reduce the need for blinds. The versatility of the plant also allows it to be grown as Bonsai or as a pot plant.
Looking for something extra for your Special Occasion? At Westdale Nurseries, we can supply bougainvillea to create a really exotic look and feel to your special day. Please contact us for special hire and event bookings on 01225 863258. | agronomy |

At Carthay Cafe, we source our Romaine lettuce from Andy Boy (starting 1/7/19), which has been deemed safe to eat. We took extraordinary precautions to assure that we can keep our customers safe. Please see Andy Boy's official statement below:
"On Monday, November 26, 2018 the FDA lifted their advisory to consumers not to eat any romaine lettuce. It is imperative to note that romaine grown by D’Arrigo California under the Andy Boy label has not been implicated in the E. coli outbreak.
The FDA is urging growers, processors, distributors and retailers to clearly and prominently label all individually packaged romaine products to identify the growing region and harvest date to alleviate any concerns for consumers. D’Arrigo California is complying with this request and we have created case labels that will specify the growing region and date of harvest. For packaged romaine hearts items (12/3, 7/6, 18/2, 15/3), we will also provide a sticker on the bag that states the date of harvest and the region where the product was grown.

John Deere & Co., one of the most successful and recognized producers of farm equipment in the world, has announced that production of new equipment will be cut in order to maintain profits in the face of a weak global farm economy. Deere has experienced decreasing sales and profits for nine consecutive quarters and some feel that this trend may continue.
Record harvests and falling crop prices have greatly impacted the income of farmers around the world and made them reluctant to make major investments in equipment. Instead, they are maintaining the equipment they have, buying used, or leasing for the time being. These factors have combined to create a large surplus of used farm equipment in the marketplace.
In turn, the prices of used equipment have dropped in recent months. For banking purposes this will affect loans that have been made that are collateralized with farm equipment. Due to the decrease in value of assets that make up these loans, loan to value ratios may be off balance and no longer meet the thresholds necessary to protect your investment. It is likely that the surplus of used farm equipment on the market will not be depleted for 2-3 years.
During this period, loans collateralized with farm equipment could be troublesome and expose banks to increased risk. If you have farm loans on the books, this may be the perfect time to revisit the equipment valuations used for the collateral.
At Brumbaugh Appraisals we have a good understanding of the current market dynamics and can assist you in determining if your loans are properly collateralized. Please give us a call at 919-870-8258 or reach out through our contact form. | agronomy |

In the face of global population growth, climate change, and the increasing demand for sustainable agricultural practices, traditional farming methods are evolving. Vertical farming systems have emerged as a promising solution to address these challenges, revolutionizing the way we grow and consume food. This innovative approach involves cultivating crops in vertically stacked layers, often in controlled indoor environments. In this article, we will delve into the key aspects of vertical farming systems, exploring their advancements, benefits, and potential impact on the future of agriculture.
1. The Essence of Vertical Farming: Vertical farming represents a departure from conventional horizontal cultivation methods. Instead of spreading fields across vast expanses of land, vertical farming stacks crops in layers, often within urban environments. This vertical arrangement optimizes space utilization, making it possible to grow crops in areas with limited available land.
2. Controlled Environments: One of the defining features of vertical farming is the use of controlled environments. Indoor facilities utilize advanced technologies such as hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics to provide optimal conditions for plant growth. These systems ensure precise control over factors like temperature, humidity, and nutrient levels, reducing the reliance on external environmental conditions. This controlled setting allows for year-round cultivation, eliminating the seasonal constraints associated with traditional farming.
3. Advancements in Technology: The success of vertical farming hinges on the integration of cutting-edge technologies. LED lighting systems mimic the sunlight spectrum, providing plants with the necessary light for photosynthesis. Automation plays a crucial role, with robotic systems managing tasks such as planting, harvesting, and monitoring crop health. Additionally, sensor technologies continuously collect data on environmental conditions, enabling real-time adjustments to optimize plant growth.
4. Resource Efficiency: Vertical farming addresses the issue of resource scarcity by significantly reducing the need for land and water. With crops stacked vertically, a smaller footprint is required to produce the same amount of food compared to traditional farming methods. Moreover, water usage is minimized through recirculating systems in hydroponics and aeroponics, where plants receive nutrient-rich water directly, eliminating the need for excessive irrigation.
5. Sustainability and Environmental Benefits: The environmental impact of traditional agriculture, including deforestation, soil degradation, and greenhouse gas emissions, has spurred interest in sustainable alternatives. Vertical farming systems offer a more eco-friendly solution by conserving land, reducing water usage, and minimizing the need for chemical inputs. Furthermore, the controlled environments limit the use of pesticides and herbicides, promoting healthier produce and reducing environmental pollution.
6. Urban Agriculture and Food Security: As the global population increasingly concentrates in urban areas, the concept of urban agriculture gains importance. Vertical farming allows for the integration of agriculture into urban spaces, bringing food production closer to consumers. This proximity reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation and distribution, contributing to a more sustainable and resilient food supply chain. Additionally, vertical farming can enhance food security by providing a local and consistent source of fresh produce, mitigating the risks associated with external supply chain disruptions.
7. Crop Diversity and Novelty: Vertical farming’s controlled environments enable the cultivation of a wide variety of crops, including those traditionally unsuited for specific climates. This opens up opportunities to explore new and exotic crops, promoting biodiversity in agricultural practices. Additionally, the controlled conditions allow for the precise manipulation of factors like light and nutrients, potentially enhancing the nutritional content and flavor profiles of crops.
8. Economic Viability: While the initial investment in vertical farming infrastructure can be substantial, the long-term benefits and efficiencies can make it economically viable. The ability to produce high-quality crops consistently, regardless of external factors, can lead to more predictable yields and revenue for farmers. As technology advances and economies of scale come into play, the costs associated with vertical farming are expected to decrease, making it a competitive and economically sustainable agricultural model.
9. Challenges and Considerations: Despite the numerous advantages, vertical farming faces challenges that need to be addressed. High initial costs, energy consumption, and the environmental impact of manufacturing the required technology are among the concerns. Additionally, the scalability of vertical farming on a global level and its integration into existing agricultural systems pose logistical challenges that require careful consideration.
Vertical farming systems represent a transformative approach to agriculture, offering solutions to pressing global challenges. Through controlled environments, advanced technologies, and resource-efficient practices, vertical farming holds the promise of sustainable, resilient, and locally integrated food production. As technology continues to evolve and economies of scale are realized, the potential for vertical farming to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of agriculture is becoming increasingly evident. As we cultivate the future, the vertical farming revolution stands as a beacon of innovation and hope for a more sustainable and food-secure world. | agronomy |

Posted on May 11, 2017 by admin
Ahead of British Tomato Week, Executive Chef Dale Osborne along with kitchen team member Tom Ashmore headed south to the sunny Isle of Wight to meet with local British growers at The Tomato Stall. Dale and Tom were given a tour of one of their greenhouses and learned more about the great flavoured fruit that accompanies many of our dishes at aqua shard.
Producing more than eight million kilos of tomatoes a year, the growers at The Tomato Stall nurture up to 200 different varieties of tomatoes each year. All of their tomatoes are left to ripen on the vine and are handpicked at their peak of flavour; two to three days later, they end up on your plate and result in a taste that’s bursting with freshness and flavour.
The Tomato Stall have built an optimum growing environment that is completely biodegradable and have Conservation Grade status. This means that they are ethical, sustainable and Fair to Nature.
Whilst their site is not open to the public, you can pop by their stall in London’s Borough Market every Friday and Saturday to pick up some of their fresh tomatoes.
This summer, Dale is showcasing the fresh and naturally sweet Isle of Wight tomatoes in a Roasted seabass dish. He’s incorporated Cornish seaweed to the dish bringing a natural flavouring of salt to the Roasted seabass available on our lunch and dinner menu.
To reserve a table at aqua shard and try this dish, make your booking here. | agronomy |

Sharon Zayac, OP -- Director Jubilee Farm
Central Illinois, along with a big swath of the country, has been moving toward drought for several years. Each year at Jubilee Farm (http://jubileefarm.info/) we talk about it. We watch it encroach on our growing season as it alters planting and germinating times. We watch some of our crops shrivel up after a valiant effort to grow and note that others never even break through the soil. I am not sure why we were so stunned a few summers back when for the first time the well we use to water the garden went dry in midsummer. | agronomy |

The unprecedented stretch of warm weather we had recently and the lack of extracurricular activities in lockdown mean that more of us than ever are becoming keen gardeners.
I’ve talked before about growing whatever you can, wherever you can, even if it’s just one herb in a pot on a sunny windowsill. If you have a bit more space and are looking to develop more skills, I’m happy to share a few tips and tricks that we’ve been practising in our garden.
When you’re just starting out growing food, it can be daunting to think about how best to prepare beds and get in sufficient soil. The easiest way to build up your supply of quality compost is to make it yourself by redirecting your food waste into a compost heap. This will save on the cost of keeping a brown bin, and will return nutrients to the soil.
All raw veg and fruit material, plus coffee grinds and tea leaves, make up the nitrogen rich ‘green’ portion of the compost, and leaves, grass clippings, and even shredded paper and cardboard are the ‘brown’ matter that are carbon rich.
It is recommended to have a ratio of 3:1 brown to green matter, and to avoid composting cooked foods and any animal products (meat and dairy – but egg shells are an exception) unless you have a closed composter that can break these down before pests get to them. Even if it takes a while to build up your compost operation, anything you can add to your veg patches during growth or when preparing next years’ beds will be a boon.
At garden centres you will also find shelves of products designed to boost the growth of both food crops and flowering plants, but there are ways to create your own fertilisers from plants that are easy to grow or collect.
I recently put on gloves and harvested a bucket full of nettles, topped it with water and stuck in a stone to keep them submerged. It is starting to develop a distinct rotten smell that means it will soon be ready to be fed to my leafy green crops.
Comfrey is another easy-to-grow plant, and it is potassium-rich, encouraging fruit and flowers to set; cut and steep comfrey leaves like the nettle ‘tea’ and apply weekly once fruit is forming on plants.
Many people collect seaweed from the shore to soak and apply like the nettle solution, or to cover beds over the winter; the remaining seaweed can be dug into the soil before planting.
If you’re more focused on weeding than growing, we have been using a simple solution of five litres of plain vinegar, one cup of salt and a good squirt of washing up liquid to spray onto weeds growing in footpaths, on the gravel drive and along borders. It has been remarkably effective after two applications, and better still, it is a mixture that is not harmful to people or pets or damaging to wildlife.

- Bactrocera dorsalis is a species of tephritid fruit fly that is endemic to Southeast Asia, but has also been introduced to Hawaii, the Mariana Islands and Tahiti. It is one of the major pest species in the genus Bactrocera with a broad host range of cultivated and wild fruits.
- The oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a significant pest species that damages a wide range of fruit and other horticultural products, causing major financial losses to horticulture. Trichlorphon [dimethyl (2, 2, 2-trichloro-1-hydroxyethyl) phosphate] is a moderately toxic organophosphate insecticide that has been widely used to control this pest because of its low toxicity to humans and its high efficacy; however, resistance to this pesticide in B. dorsalis has been increasing, thus threatening the effective management of the oriental fruit fly. .

Harvesting fresh fruits and vegetables brings great satisfaction to the home garden. To get a quality food product from your garden for new use or storage, you must harvest fruits and vegetables at their appropriate stages of development. An improper harvest affects quality and storage capacity, as well as the continued productivity of the plant.
How much fruit can you win?
Fruit picking is dependent on cutting rates. Her salary is based on the weight of the fruit she harvests and complies with national minimum wage legislation. Fieldwork system “The more you choose, the greater your profit.” Currently, our collectors earn between $ 10 and $ 25 per hour
Is packing hard fruit work?
Physically challenging, but he emphasized that we have to work hard to earn some money. … long hot days in the summer sun, a persistent job despite its benefits, you have a very diverse group of people working with you, including backpackers from all over the world.
How old do you have to be to pick fruit?
As for the job itself, first-time pickers don’t need to worry about a lack of experience. Farms have a lot of practice in training new workers, so the only requirement is to be 18 years or older and fit, healthy, and ready to do some manual work. | agronomy |

Garden-fresh salsa in February sounded too tempting to pass up!
Since I didn’t have time to start from seed, I wandered through one of my favorite nurseries, Moneta Nursery in Gardena, and came across some starter plants for “winter tomatoes.” One of them was actually called a Siberian tomato… now if that doesn’t thrive in cold rainy weather, I don’t know what will!
I ended up buying three plants to experiment with — Siberian tomato, Oregon Spring tomato, and High Country tomato — all of which seemed appropriately named. They’re all early varieties that are supposed to be resistant to cooler weather… but with tomatoes, it could be hit or miss.
They were planted in late October, grew steadily through November, and even survived our massive rainstorms and cold front in December. Little green tomatoes appeared on the vines and have slowly ripened over the last few weeks. The warm weather in January seemed to have revived the plants because there are more tomatoes popping up now, even as the plants look like they’re about to keel over and die.
While they’re not as big or bright or bountiful as my summer tomatoes, I can’t really complain — I have organic tomatoes! In February! That’s practically an oxymoron.
And though I don’t have nearly enough for salsa, I have plenty to toss into my salads… which beats those plastic-looking, styrofoam-tasting, supermarket tomatoes any day!

The Siberian tomatoes are GREAT! They work perfectly on our SUMMERS ;D true story… greetings from Finland! This is one of my favorite garden blogs. Even though i do envy ur climate!!

Hello Linda 🙂 I just sowed siberian tomato today. Hopefully they could survive through the winter. I live in Las Vegas and winter temperatures here could go as low as 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Did you have to cover yours every night?
Linda LyOctober 16, 2013 at 7:56 pm
Vegas winters are pretty brutal (I grew up there). Unless your tomatoes are protected from frost somehow, I doubt they’ll survive. In SoCal, we don’t have frost so tomatoes grow easily here (albeit slowly due to the shorter days).
ghzocOctober 16, 2013 at 9:16 pm
Thank you for the advice Linda. I will try to take several measures to protect it from frost and see it if it will survive. Hopefully in few years I could move there in Socal so that I could enjoy gardening as much as you haha 🙂

"Can put plants in this?"
I originally designed the Geo Skull Vessel to be used as a planter :D
The dwelling in the rear of the skull is sized to fit plants and succulents repotted from standard 1" , 2" and 2.5" plant nursery pots.
I use the best quality Artisan Concrete for making every Skandle Vessel. This material is long-lasting and non-toxic so it's completely safe for the long term life of your beautiful plant babies.
Every Vessel is sealed twice with a natural finish concrete sealer keeping it water and stain resistant that won't steal water from your plant.
Steps to replanting into a Skandle Vessel
1. Remove plant from plastic pot, loosen soil around the roots.
2. Carefully trim bottom and sides of roots if they are too large to fit into the vessel
3. Grab the base of the plant and press firmly into the vessel
4. Fill in with extra soil, pressing in a circle around the plant to secure it in place.
5. Water 1 - 2 times per week. Soil should not stay soggy or wet for longer than a day.
6. Try not to move the plant around too much during the first 3-6 weeks while it grows new roots to secure itself! | agronomy |

It’s been really enjoyable photographing harvest. I think part of the enjoyment comes from having something really specific to photograph, rather than wandering around and trying to find something to photograph.
I went out again this evening. One of the farmers offered to let me photograph in his field and even ride on the trucks and combine. It was a lot of fun. I also made a few more panoramic images. Enjoy.

For years the global demand for cotton was met through this method; however since the 1970s evidence of the adverse impact these chemicals have on workers and the surrounding environment began to emerge. Meanwhile, with the advance in technology to manipulate genes, the use of genetically engineered seeds has seen a sharp growth worldwide as a means of producing big yields of high quality cotton. In India, a major cotton producer, genetically engineered cotton now accounts for more than 90% of the total. However genetic engineering technology cannot be accepted in the organic world. In order to sustain organic cotton, the procurement of non-GE seeds has emerged as a pressing issue.
Global cotton production for 2011-2012 totaled around 27 million tons. Of that, production of organic cotton was a mere 138 thousand tons, not even 1% of the total. Organic cotton is produced in 18 countries including India, Turkey, China, Tanzania and America. Following is a summary of the state of production during this season.
Record droughts in Texas caused the national organic cotton yield to drop 45% from the previous year.
Organic cotton production is expanding rapidly in Africa. Blessed with plentiful rainfall, Tanzania saw a 153% growth in production from the previous year.
Increase in crop land lead to a 64% increase in production for Turkey.
While small in scale, production in Nicaragua increased 190%.
India saw a large drop in production last year due to an increase in genetically modified seeds, however still remains the world leader in organic cotton production at 74% of the global yield.
Syria has been the second largest producer after India, however political turmoil and ensuing conflict has made production and inspection work impossible, leaving no data for this season.
(Source：Textile Exchange Farm & Fiber Report 2011-2013)
With the release of the annual report, it is apparent how strongly organic cotton production is influenced by weather conditions and political situations. The towels we make at IKEUCHI ORGANIC are directly linked to this ever changing world. Organic cotton reflects the emotions of people in the surrounding world. We take that organic cotton and constantly endeavor to simply make towels with it. At the rapidly changing forefront of organic cotton, we continue to produce premium towels.
Genetically modified seeds may not be used in organic farming. However there has recently been a rapid global increase in use of genetically modified seeds for many major crops including cotton. To continue growing organic cotton under these circumstances, bioRe India is working with a local agricultural university and Swiss Research Institute for Organic Agriculture (FiBL) to grow native varieties of cotton that are suited to local conditions and maintain seed stock. They also implement a strict management system to ensure that genetically modified seeds do not mix with non-genetically modified seeds.
The only way to purchase organic cotton seeds is directly from breeders who can ensure they are not genetically modified. Field tests to check for genetically modified cotton involve compressing cotton leaves and stems, mixing the extracted liquid with a test agent and watching for a reaction on a test strip. These tests are conducted regularly by bioRe staff and if results show the presence of genetically modified seed, the cotton from that field must be sold as regular and not organic cotton even if agricultural chemicals and chemical fertilizers have not been used.
The bioRe project maintains transparent traceability through the whole manufacturing process ensuring genetically modified seeds are not used for growing organic cotton. After eliminating the possibility of genetically engineered seeds, farmers grow the cotton each year and harvest cotton as well as seeds for the next season’s crop. This natural process is repeated every season in the fields, spinning together an organic future. | agronomy |

Made in England, Supporting local communities and lowering carbon emissions.
What is GOTS Certification?
GOTS stands for Global Organic Textile Standard. This standard stipulates requirements throughout the supply chain for both ecology and labour conditions in textile and clothing manufacture using organically produced raw materials.
Organic production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic, persistent pesticides and fertilizers. In addition, organic production relies on adequate animal husbandry and excludes genetic modification.
About 25% of the world’s insecticides and more than 12% of the world’s pesticides are used on conventional cotton crops.
Some of these chemicals are considered to be the most toxic chemicals in the world. Aldicarb is listed by the World Heath Organisation (WHO) as “extremely hazardous” The Institute of Science In Society says that one drop can be fatal to an adult male so it’s no surprise that WHO report 3 million cases of pesticide poisoning annually with 1 million of these cases requiring hospitalisation.
It takes just a few years for pests to develop resistance to a new pesticide. When new pesticides are manufactured, privatised cotton companies sell them to farmers on credit. This dependency on pesticides frequently forces farmers into debt. There have been a shocking number of suicides as a result of cotton farming debts, over 1500 in Chhattisgarh (an agricultural state in central India) alone. Industrial pesticides have also been linked to a variety of health issues including depression, reduced brain activity, stomach and lung problems and burns.
There is also the potential of pesticides entering the food chain and water supply not only via the water cycle but also because cottonseed and cottonseed husks are used as feed for farm animals. Cottonseed oil is also used in cooking in many parts of the world
However, organic cotton farmers find novel ways to successfully fight cotton pests in their crops.
For Example in Uganda, black ants are used to control cotton-eating pests and elsewhere natural soap, chilli and extracts from local trees are enough to deter them. Insect traps are used to monitor insect levels allowing farmers to time their applications of natural repellents to best effect.
Crop rotation, habitat management and encouraging natural predators have proven to be effective and safe ways to reduce natural predators and these have the added benefit of allowing nutrients to remain in the soil so it can be used in future to grow food crops.
The high standards of GOTS certified organic cotton provide you, as a consumer, with the knowledge that the product you are purchasing has been produced with the aim of avoiding damage to the environment and human health. By choosing to buy organic cotton we are also sending a message to business and government that there is a demand for justice in the growing and manufacture of cotton products and that consumers are increasingly interested in where and how their clothes are made.

Everything we planted was done with help of the kids. Involving children in planting and harvesting a garden gives them important skills that they can use later on in life and will make some wonderful memories together as a family that will be remembered for many years!! Our summer has been a very cold one and we have not had very many 80′ days this year at all our mornings are so cool and you need a sweat shirt not to freeze, everything still seems to be doing good, but the cooler weather veggies are doing the best obviously.
If you are wondering what the stuff is around our plants in a lot of the pictures is. I cleaned out the chicken coop and put some into the mulch piles and the rest around the plants hay and chicken droppings are great fertilizer for the garden!!
We have gotten lots of zuchinni from our plants, we have found so many great uses for our zuchinni after we planted some we decided to make a couple more rows a few weeks behind our other plants. They are just starting to produce the beautiful flowers, so hopefully lots more zuchinni soon!!
This was one of our first zucchinis for the year!
Fresh Green Beans they get eaten so fast I just haven’t gotten a picture of the beans themselves. Here are the little bean plants.
Here they are grown HUGE!!!
White and yellow onions.
So a bunch of our onions got stomped by the chickens so they were pulled out a lot earlier then they were supposed to be.
Almost all the onions are dried out now! We will be storing them away for winter soon!!
Corn is getting very tall and has many corn cobs growing now, we also have a second corn field that was a few weeks behind the first since sweet corn is something that is very loved in our house and I want to be able to enjoy it through the winter without eating GMO corn…
Our second cleared out plot that now has our second batch of corn, lettuce, carrots, summer squash, zucchini, and our strawberry patch.
Sweet Peas For some reason my kids all love these so much that not many of them ever make it into the house. The fact that we had to cage them in better because my chickens started using them as a dirt bath probably didn’t help either 😉
Tomatoes while we haven’t had any ripe tomatoes we have TONS of green tomatoes that will be ripe soon! I tried something new this year and pinched off all the flowers until the base was thicker and also pruned off all small branches that started to grow near the bottom. This has made for some HUGE plants that will hopefully give us lots of delicious Heirloom tomatoes soon YUM!!
As you can see the plant is so BIG that it is knocking the string over, so we have added a post for it to lean against!
This is the lone tomato plant that ended up growing in the lettuce.
Here is our container tomato plant that my chickens decided to eat half of the plant!!
Lettuce we have lots of Romaine lettuce which we are loving I just started a few new kinds of organic lettuce to make for a colorful salad for the cold weather that is close behind.
Here the lettuce is when it was smaller.
Radishes were one of the first things that came up, but no one really likes them because they are really spicey so we probably won’t be growing them again next year.
The 1 lemon Verbadum plant I got, it is now a HUGE bush!!
Our cantaloupe we finally have 1 mini melon!! Anyone have any ideas on how to hide melon so that chickens don’t eat it before we get it??
Here is our broccoli plants. Not doing quite so good but still coming along.
We just planted spinach, the new kind of lettuce, acorn squash, beets, and butternut squash for our cold weather vegetables, so our garden is far from done for the year!
Our new spinach plants starting.
Here is our beautiful little lettuce plants.
Next year we will have our garden fenced off from chickens and kids, there have been to many things that have happened letting the both have free reign of the garden. Lesson Learned 😉
Now I have been busy canning and freezing all kinds of goodies to last us through the winter.
I am linking up with these great linky parties!! | agronomy |

Lately I've been looking up on hydroponics, and I'm thinking of making a small garden soon. Most likely an ebb and flow one. For those that don't know, hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, supplying nutrients directly in the water. There are 6 major designs for a garden, some passive and simple, others a little more complicated.
Ebb and flow hydroponic gardens basically have a tank of fluid below the garden, with a pump inside the tank to pump the fluid to flood the garden. There is an overflow pipe, so that it doesn't litterally flood, and when the pump is turned off the water drains back through the pipe to let the plants roots get air. This could be controlled with a timer, or possibly a computer.(I might build a small PIC circuit for mine)
I'm planning on growing grape tomatoes, just because they are amazing. I currently have some seeds fermenting to get rid of that slimey coating, they should be ready to use in about a week or so. Still not entirely sure what I'm going to use to make my actual garden, though. When I figure it out I'll post instructions.
For those PSP people patient enough to read through all this, I am looking for ideas for things to program for PSP. I'm thinking of possibly dropping the RegEdit, just because the main hacks you would do using it are already made into homebrew,(buttonhack and fontmod) but if anyone is still interested just say so and I'll bring it back up. Things I'm thinking of making right now are mic-based homebrew(a recording program, a walkie talkie, and a tuner, are the three I'm focused on) and possibly a top down shooter, though that would be a bit further in the future most likely. I would love to hear other peoples ideas for homebrew they think is still needed for the PSP, it's better to know your work is wanted.
I also would love ideas on the hydroponic garden, if anyone has any experience or even if someone would like to try and want me to post more info about it, please comment. In my oppinion hydroponics is probably one of the best ways to garden, just takes a bit of geekiness to get started ;) | agronomy |

(WDHN) — Today, a member of the Geneva County Conservation District Board retired after some 45 years of service.
A reception was held for Henry Martin who was appointed to the board in 1978.
But now at 96 years old, Martin felt it was time to let someone younger be appointed.
He and his family have more than 950 acres of land in Geneva County which Martin began farming in the 1940s. His two sons and their families have now taken up most of the daily chores.
As he retires, Mr. Henry believes he’s been a good advocate of the environment working
hard to improve soil and water erosion on agricultural land.
At one time, Mr. Henry sold tractors. He says he’s not yet sure what the next chapter in his life will bring, but we surely wish him well with gratitude for his many years of service. | agronomy |

Why Progeny Breeding has chosen E-Brida
Colombia is the second largest chrysanthemum exporting country, with over 160 million euros of export value. Progeny Breeding is one of the leading companies in Chrysanthemum breeding. Recently the company chose to work with Agri Information Partners’ software solution, E-Brida. We are curious about the first experiences Esteban Falconi Ph.D. Research Director of Progeny Breeding, wants to share.
Where are your breeding sites for those who do not know the geophysics of Columbia?
Progeny Breeding has developed two breeding sites to breed varieties suited for Bogota Savannah and lower altitudes close to Medellin. The evaluation area is in “La Ceja,” the most significant production area in the country. Progeny Breeding’s varieties are known to have the best characteristics for the American, European, and Asian markets.
What is essential in your breeding operations?
As a plant breeding company, we permanently generate much information and we need to keep, in a very well-organized way, all the data collected in evaluations, trials, experiments, etc. It allows us to take advantage of these data with calculations and analyses that we need to perform all the time.
What made you decide to work with E-Brida?
The growth of the Company has driven us to make this wise decision. We must deal with bigger and bigger databases, and we realized that E-Brida could be the tool that we need to organize all this data and make it available to access and analyze it.
You are a new user of E-Brida. Can you describe the impact noticeable on your breeding operations? What is the most significant change you reckon?
Because E-Brida has developed an integrated system to collect the data directly from the field (using a simple device/cellphone), all these data are stored on our server. Even our images get stored in E-Brida . You can imagine that our amount of data is incredibly high. The significant advantage of using E-Brida is that every single data is associated with every Pedigree Item. Hence, data analyses and results come faster and are structured.
What is your idea of using the other software solution Mercado
At the moment we are not using Mercado because we focus on E-Brida.
What do you think of the cooperation of Agri Information Partners?
We received the appropriate training and a permanent accompaniment. So far, we have gotten timely attention and response. We are totally satisfied. Thank you, Esteban for your cooperation and openness! We think it’s a pleasure working with Progeny Breeding and certainly support your quote “Let’s watch the flowers grow!”. Good luck in the future! | agronomy |

We raise and grow our beef on our Old Homestead Farm in Westerlo, NY. The main focus of raising our beef cows is open pastures and a healthy diet that does not consist of using any hormones. Our beef is all natural and pasture raised, and then corn finished. We take pride in providing our customers with quality beef that has great flavor and is very nutritional to our bodies. Our beef is dryaged for three weeks before it is packaged in order to enhance its flavor and tenderness. It is important that our customers have the opportunity to purchase all natural, local beef and know where it comes from. At Stanton's, we can ensure that your beef is top quality and will not fall short of your expectations.
Our beef is available for purchase at our retail farm markets from May through September. We harvest every spring and sometimes cull a few cows in the fall depending on demand. Stay tuned for updates regarding sales or bulk beef offerings throughout the winter months.
For more questions or inquiries: Message us on Facebook: "Stanton's Feura Farm" Call: 518-768-2344
~Our homegrown beef is processed and packaged at Double L Ranch butcher shop (USDA inspected) in Altamont, NY.~
Diet: Our cows have a very healthy diet that consists of absolutely NO hormones. During the warmer seasons, they are grazing on grass in our spread of pastures. We have a rotational grazing system that allows us to keep the pastures thick with vegetation for the cows to eat. The rotational grazing keeps the grass from being overeaten and allows for clean pastures for the cattle to enjoy. The cows benefit from rich nutrients and omega-3 fatty acids in the green leaves of the vegetation, resulting in better health. Throughout the summer and fall, the cows are fed a small amount of fruits and vegetables from our farm, as well as the remaining pumpkin crop after October, which is all non-GMO. Even this small amount of fruits and vegetables - sweet corn, peppers, cantaloupe, berries, mushrooms, apples, and more - give the cows extra nutrients that are beneficial to their health.
Over the winter months, the cows are fed corn silage from our non-GMO plantings of sweet corn and field corn, as well as hay cut from our fields. The corn silage is a high energy forage that helps keep weight on the cattle during the cold winter months. The key to a healthy herd is the feed!
In the last three months before slaughter, the cows are fed a finishing of our own homegrown, non-GMO ground corn and silage. | agronomy |

The fertile soil of the Barossa is home to some of the world’s most lauded vineyards but wine isn’t all that tastes great in the Barossa. A rich passion for food reflects the region’s strong traditions and rich heritage, mixed with modern innovation and a passion for quality. The secret ingredient is dirt.
The Barossa has a rich 180-year-old culture and architectural history and encompasses the wine-growing areas of the Barossa Valley and Eden Valley.
The Barossa is home to more than 150 wineries, with over 80 cellar doors and a winemaking heritage dating back to 1842. The secret to the highly praised vineyards and the organic fresh produce is the fertile soil – something which has assisted in making the Barossa a world-class food and wine destination.
It is home to some of Australia’s finest restaurants, inspired by fresh food, local wine and produce from the region.
The Barossa has mild summers and cool winters, with an average winter temperature of 14°c and 29°c in summer, making it perfectly suited for red wine production, particularly Shiraz and richly flavored Cabernet Sauvignon. Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mataro, Riesling, and Semillon are also part of the Barossa wine tapestry.
Some of the world’s oldest Shiraz vines that are more than 175 years old are planted in the Barossa’s wineries, including Langmeil, St Hallett Wines, Cirillo Estate Vineyards, and Bethany. There is now a total of 860 grape growers in the Barossa situated on 13,256-hectares of vineyard area and the average vineyard size is 17.7 hectares.
Preserving, smoking and baking produce are still a part of everyday life and the results include smoked mettwurst, lachschinken, traditional bread, bienenstich and streuselkuchen, dill cucumbers, pickled onions, olives and olive oil, egg noodles, and a variety of chutneys, pickles and preserves.

It’s aimed at people who grow cannabis both commercially and at home. This university has one of the largest agricultural studies programmes in Canada.
The Canadian cannabis industry needs formally trained people
Canada was only the second country on Earth to legalise cannabis. (Uruguay took first place.) It hence has the opportunity to be the industry leader. Following legalisation, the market is booming. Concomitantly, there’s a demand for people with formal training in cannabis production; the university’s website described its course as designed for entry-level positions. Examples given were customer service representative, cultivation technician, grower, packing technician, processing technician, production technician, quality assurance associate and retail store manager. At present, knowledge all-too-often comes from anecdotes and poorly designed experiments.
Just what the course covers
Teaching will be at the hands of post-graduate student Brandon Yep. Covered will be such cannabis production basics as lighting, irrigation, pests, disease management, curing and packaging. Included will be talk of the history of cannabis and medicinal benefits of the plant. A statement by Yep read: “This course will clarify fact from myth” by providing information about cannabis production that’s backed up by science.
The course runs from 9 September to 1 December 2019. The cost is CAD545 (£335). 60 students made it fully enrolled. From January 2020, there will be courses in cannabis regulations and quality assurance, with the first sign-ups occurring in October 2019. Workshops are already available from the university in association with Cannabis Compliance Inc, the largest grower of cannabis in the world.
More groundbreaking cannabis research at the university
In 2017, researchers at the University of Guelph published what was quite possibly the first North American scientific paper on improving medicinal cannabis production. It appeared in the journal HortSciences. Professor Youbin Zheng groused, “There has been no science guiding this industry.” Proper scientific research was lacking, he insisted, because the growing of cannabis was illegal. With Professor Mike Dixon and PhD student Deron Caplan, Professor Zheng looked into the optimal fertiliser rates and soilless growing substrates to grow cannabis with a greater yield of medicinal components. This research was part-funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.
The team has now turned its attention to lighting and irrigation. According to Professor Dixon, lighting in particular affects the concentration of cannabidiol, which is beneficial to health but sadly non-intoxicating. In recent years, even US Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who has stridently condemned the plant, indicated that he favoured increased research into cannabis.
The Cannabis Growers Club
While not the first course in cannabis cultivation (that was this one), not many are online. The University of Guelph is possibly the only fully accredited university in the world to boast a club dedicated to the growing of cannabis. It opened shortly before the legalisation of cannabis in Canada on October 17 2018. Only university students, staff and alumni can join. There are currently 136 members. | agronomy |

Canada’s largest development project in Afghanistan may actually be fuelling the opium boom. Ottawa calls it Canada’s “signature project” in the country: a $50-million scheme to rebuild the country’s second-largest dam, the Dahla Dam, and a long-neglected network of irrigation canals in Afghanistan’s main breadbasket region.
This region of fertile farmland also happens to be Kandahar’s main opium-growing belt, according to the UN’s 2010 Afghan Opium Survey.
One of the districts that have benefited from the Canadian irrigation scheme is Zhari, just west of Kandahar City. Since 2008, when the Canadian project began, Zhari has emerged as one of Afghanistan’s key opium-growing areas. Opium cultivation there shot up by 70 percent from 2,923 hectares in 2008 to 4,978 in 2010, according to the UN survey.
The Dahla Dam itself is located in a district called Shah Wali Kot, just northeast of Kandahar City. Opium cultivation there has risen 45 percent since the Canadian project started, from 560 hectares in 2008 to 813 hectares last year.
In Kandahar province as a whole, opium production remained flat from 2005 to 2008, averaging about 14,000 hectares. Then it suddenly shot up to 20,000 hectares in 2009 and almost 26,000 last year.
Findings from the UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime show that opium growers are benefiting from the rebuilt irrigation canals and ditches. Its 2007 Afghan Opium Survey reported that 37 percent of villages getting irrigation aid or other external assistance were cultivating opium. | agronomy |

Up against factory farming, giant corporations, the squeeze of the family farm and Asian imports, organic food has a tough battle to fight. However, as education and awareness rise, the interest in, and production of, organic food is also on the rise. In fact, almost 70% of all Americans now buy at least some organic food. The benefits of organic food stretch far beyond the individual, impacting the community, the country and the earth. For those looking for a healthy eating plan for weight loss, and have been frustrated by quick fix promises, organic is a great place to start.
What is Organic Food?
In order to understand the benefits of organic food, it is first important to recognize what organic food is. Organic food is produced in a different manner from traditionally processed food. Organic food does not contain synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and feed. Organic meat and poultry farmers raise their animals in a natural environment unlike factory-raised chicken, beef and pork. Organic foods also contain no preservatives, hormones, artificial colorings or flavorings. Another important fact regarding organic foods is that they are biodegradable and do not contain harmful pollutants. In order for food in America, to be considered 100% organic it must have a USDA Organic seal on it.
America is Sick!
The body is designed to utilize food for fuel. Just like a vehicle, a body needs fuel to run. All cellular functions are dependent on the right ratio of nutrient dense foods to perform their job. Since the industrialization of food, the health of Americans has been declining rapidly. Food that is produced on factory farms is void of the nutrients that the body needs and contains dangerous levels of chemicals. Over 80% of illnesses in America today is attributable to lifestyle. This means what we eat and how we live. A poor diet combined with a lack of exercise, sleep and stress management is a true recipe for disaster.
Organic to the Rescue
Eating organic food is not a diet to be adhered to for a short period of time, but rather, a lifestyle. Organic foods contain nutrients in a form that the body can use for energy and health. One of the greatest benefits of organic food is that they are not insulted with chemicals and because of this they are able to produce more phytochemicals needed to resist weeds, pest and disease. Plants left untreated by chemicals become strong and resistant. Strong plants contain loads of healthy vitamins and antioxidants. Not only does eating organic provide vital nutrients for healing and wellness, it is a great plan for people who want a healthy eating plan for weight loss. When we give the body what it needs to be healthy, exercise regularly, and adopt a stress management plan, it naturally gravitates towards a healthy weight. This is the amazing bonus we get when we treat our body with respect.
Organic and the Environment
The benefits of organic food extend beyond the plants animals and consumers to the environment. Organic farming decreases pollutants in groundwater and produces rich and fertile soil that not only helps grow strong plants but also reduces erosion. When pesticides are sprayed on crops, they leach into public water supplies and wells. Organic farming and food production uses natural techniques that work with the environment, not against it.
Local and Organic
The best combination of foods possible is local and organic. When you buy locally grown organic food, you are supporting your community, reducing your carbon footprint and making an investment not only in your health but also in the health of future generations. More and more local farmers realize that the organic movement is spreading. Despite the hard work and commitment involved, some farmers now understand that farming was never intended to be done in a factory. If you have access to grass fed meats and locally grown produce, take advantage of this bounty. When you shake the hands of the people who feed you, relationships develop, and bonds are formed. Eating organic foods does matter. It matters for you, your community and the earth.
We are to be good stewards of all that we have, and that includes all of the earth’s natural resources and our bodies. When you take the time to study the vast multitude of benefits that organic food growing, purchasing and consumption has and will continue to have for years to come, you know you are doing the right thing when you choose to “go organic.”

For me, it’s a takeaway shop hamburger with the works (Oh, and that’s a yes to pineapple and beetroot, bacon and egg), hold the chips. The bits I love the most are the crunchy iceberg lettuce and fresh tomato slices. As much as my go-to hiking food is pretty good, I will always crave something fresh, especially on longer trips.
A really simple solution is to grow your own sprouts in a plastic container hanging off your backpack. Here’s how:
How to grow fresh sprouts on a hike
You will need
- Sprout seeds (Alfalfa, Mung, Adzuki, Lentils)
- Plastic container approx 10cm tall (round takeaway containers are perfect)
- Clean Chux dish cloth
- Robust rubber band
- Access to drinking water twice a day
Place 1 tablespoon of seeds in the clean container. Alfalfa is a good one to start with.
Cut the dishcloth down to a size that when draped over the opening on the container, comes at least halfway down the sides.
Cover the container and secure it firmly with the rubber band.
Pour just enough warm water through the cloth onto the seeds to cover them. Leave overnight.
In the morning, rinse well (twice) with cold water running through the cloth onto the seeds, flip to drain.
Rinse twice daily, morning and evening.
Hang on the outside of your pack in a light coloured stuff sack so that sunlight and warmth can still do their trick and help you bring forth a harvest.
Seeds will start sprouting in a few days depending on the temperature. In warmer climates (eg. NT) they will be ready in a few days. In colder climates, you may need to start your seeds a few days before you head out to make sure they are ready to eat when you are.
Pick out your fresh sprouts and enjoy them with your meals or as a snack throughout the day. If there’s any left at the end add liberally to your Milk Bar hamburger!
Alternative: Instead of using a Chux cloth, you can use the lid of the container with lots of holes pierced in the top.
Food safe warning
Sprouts aren’t the only thing that thrives in warm and humid conditions – unfriendly bugs like salmonella can too. So please check out this great info sheet from Safefood Queensland so you’re aware of the risks and recommendations. | agronomy |

In the spring, many people begin to plant their gardens. They see ads in catalogs or shop the gardening section of a local store to get ideas. The right place in the garden is selected, seeds or plants are put in the soil, and then they wait. Whether it is a small home garden or a large thousand acre farm, chemistry contributes greatly to the success of the crop.
Crops need four things for good growth: sunlight, water, nutrients from the soil, and protection from predators such as insects. Chemistry has made major contributions within water usage, nutrient availability, and plant protection. Water purification uses a number of chemical and physical techniques to remove salts and contaminants that would pollute the soil. Chemical analysis of soil allows the grower to see what nutrients are lacking, so that they can be added. In the spring, grocery stores, hardware stores, and gardening centers have high stacks of bags containing fertilizers and weed killers that enrich the soil and keep down unwanted plants. These same stores also provide a number of sprays or solid treatments for insects that might otherwise eat the plants.
Fresh water is essential for good crops. In some areas of the world, there is enough rain to accomplish this task. In other locales, water must be provided so that the crops will grow. Worldwide, irrigation covers about \(18\%\) of farm land and produces some \(40\%\) of crops. Obtaining clean water in many parts of the world is made possible by the process of desalinization.
Desalinization involves to the treatment of sea water to remove salts; the resulting water can then be used for irrigation without contaminating the soil with materials that harm the growing plants.
In many areas of the world, the soil is deficient in essential nutrients. A number of minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium may not be present in large enough amounts for plants to grow well. Nitrogen is also extremely important for good crops.
Soil analysis is available from a variety of labs. Local university extension services can provide valuable information as to the composition of a soil, and will also make suggestions as to the types and amounts of needed nutrients. Fertilizers can be purchased and added to the soil to enrich it and ensure better yield of crops.
Even if the crop grows well, there is still the possibility of insect or pest damage. The insect or pest can consume the crop or can damage it to the point where it will not grow well. Infestations of army worms can do major damage to corn and grain crops. Aphids and boll weevils are major predators of cotton crops. Failure to control these pests results in widespread crop damage and financial loss for the farmer.
A wide variety of pesticides have been developed by chemists and other scientists to deal with pests. The basic approach is to develop pesticides that interfere with some biochemical process in the pest. Ideally, the pesticide will not affect other living organisms, but this is not always the case. It is very important to read the labels and observe all precautions when using pesticides.
- Obtaining clean water in many parts of the world is made possible by the process of desalinization.
- Plant nutrients are very important for good plant growth.
- Chemical analysis of soil can tell he farmer or gardener what nutrients are needed.
- Chemists have developed many pesticides that will kill plant predators such as the army worm and the boll weevil.
- List three things crops need for good growth.
- How much of the water used in farming is provided by irrigation?
- What fraction of crops are grown using irrigation?
- Why do nutrients need to be added to the soil?

From the desk of Senator Hon., Clay G. Sweeting
Opposition Senator and Shadow Minister of Agriculture, Marine Resources and Local Government
For Immediate Release
January 25th, 2018
In 2013, the Government of The Bahamas approved a 20-year plan for Rebuilding Bahamian Agriculture. The centrepiece of the plan was the creation of BAMSI as a means of introducing an Import Substitution Policy to address the escalating annual food imports into The Bahamas which had passed the billion-dollar mark.
The 20-year plan identified thirty-two (32) crops which can be produced in The Bahamas to the level of self-sufficiency.
We welcome the Government’s decision to temporarily restrict pepper and tomato imports into the Bahamas as it was our vision for Bahamians to be able to feed themselves. Bahamian farmers are hardworking individuals, and farms such as Five Star Farms in Abaco are just an example of how Bahamians can be competitive produce suppliers in this country.
However, we also sympathize with the hard working farmers of this country, many of whom has not received the relief or support from the Government since the recent hurricane destruction. Many farmers and fishermen of this country was devastated as a result of last year’s hurricane season and they feel that they have not received the assistance necessary to rebound. Many have gone out of business!
We also note that the restriction by the Government also places an embargo on the importation of materials needed to grow these tomatoes and peppers which we feel should be lifted. You cannot cultivate these products competitively without the necessary exemptions on the materials.
We call upon the Government to look at means to further assist the farmers of this country and to continue to work with them and offer them the assistance needed to be competitive. | agronomy |

When planting tomatoes, remember that they love the heat! So be sure to keep them happy by placing them in a warm sunny spot, preferably somewhere that receives 5 to 6 hours of sunlight per day. If you don’t have a lot of room, they are great for vertical growing. All you need to start is a container and a trellises or some sort of fence the tomatoes can climb as they grow.
Tomatoes can be used in all kinds of kid friendly meals such fresh baked pizza, home made pasta sauce, and a crisp salad. You may also eat tomatoes raw after carefully washing and removing the stem. Use them raw in salads, sandwiches, and even juices!
Although the most familiar shape tomatoes come in are round, they also come in other shapes including, pear shaped, heart shaped, long sausage shape, and ruffled.
Broccoli is a great source of dietary fiber, potassium, folate, beta carotene, and vitamins A, D and E.
Broccoli is happiest growing in cool weather such as late spring or fall.
Broccoli is a wonderful side dish to any meal cooked whole with a little bit of sail and butter. You may also use it in soups, salads, and stir-fries along with other home grown veggies.
The current world record for eating one pound of broccoli is 92 seconds!
Onions are Rich in dietary fiber, folate and vitamin C.
You can buy small onion bulbs from your local nursery. Loosen the soil with a large fork where you will plant the bulbs. Make sure it is in a well lit or partly shaded area. Plant the bulbs upwards in the soil so just the very tip of the bulb is still exposed. Be sure to water the onions regularly.
Onions are often used as a seasoning to add flavor to a verity of dishes such as soups and dips. They can also be eaten freshly picked and raw.
The largest onion ever grown weighed 16 pounds and 8.5 ounces.
Blueberries are a great source of dietary fiber and vitamin C.
Blueberries need plenty of sun and grow best in moist, well-drained, highly acidic soils. The berries ripen over time changing from a bright green to a dark blue-purple. The darker the berries are, the sweeter. The smaller berries usually have a little more tart taste. The fall and early spring are the best time to plant blueberry bushes. Although they take a little longer to produce fruit, it is well worth the wait.
Blueberries are another fruit that you can wash off and snack on without any peeling or pitting. Because of there small size they are an excellent addition to baked goods such as muffins. They are also a sweet topping to your morning bowl of oatmeal or cooked right into a stack of fluffy pancakes!
Blueberries are one of the few foods that are naturally blue in color.
Raspberries are a great source of beta carotene, dietary fibre, and vitamin A and C.
Raspberries love bright sunlight and grow best in well-drained, sandy loam soils. When growing raspberries, you should start with a raspberry plant from a reputable nursery to be sure healthy and free of any viruses. Securing them to stakes as they grow will help support the plant.
Raspberries make the perfect snack freshly picked and also make a great addition to a variety of desserts. They can be used in pies, sprinkled on top of ice-cream and yogurt, or blended into a fruit smoothie.
Raspberries are actually made up of over 100 tiny beads of fruit, which combined together to form a helmet-shaped dome.
Peas are a great source of vitamins A, B and C.
Peas are known as a cool weather crop that grow best when planted in the early spring or fall in cool moist conditions. Even soil moisture is important. They’re great for small spaces because like tomatoes, they can be grown vertically. They are also one of the quickest vegetables to grow, taking about 10 weeks.
Peas are a great snack raw, just pop open the pods and enjoy. They are also a tasty addition to soups and casseroles.
The world’s largest pea grew to be almost 8 inches in diameter, roughly the size of a soccer ball!
Carrots are a great source of fiber, potassium, thiamin, niacin and vitamins A, B and C.
Carrots need to keep a consistent soil moisture from plant to harvest. If you are limited on space you may also consider growing a potted variety such as “Thumbelina” or “Chantenay”, which also grow more quickly. Remember to carefully scrub your carrots when washing to remove any excess dirt from being underground.
Chopped carrot sticks are a fantastic snack raw with some ranch dip and make a flavorful addition to a soup or roast.
Although carrots are commonly orange, they can be found in many other colors such as red, yellow, white, and even Fo-Fo Figgily’s favorite color, purple!
Spinach is a great source of iron, thiamin, potassium, folic acid and vitamins A and C.
Spinach is a cool weather crop that grow best when planted in the early spring or fall and grows in just seven short weeks.
Spinach is best if eaten within a few days days of harvesting. It is a wonderful addition to a verity of meals such as omelets, salad, and even lasagna.
The world’s largest meat, spinach and cheese ravioli measured 5 square feet and weighed 200 pounds! It included 32 9-ounce bags of fresh spinach.
Strawberries are a great source of dietary fibre, folate, and vitamin C.
Strawberries are exceptionally easy to grow. You can plant an individual strawberry bush in a 12 inch pot. If you choose to plant them directly into the ground leave about 15 inches in between each plant. Another great way to utilize space is to plant your strawberries in a hanging basket above your garden. The roots are generally longer so you may need to trim them back about 4 inches so you can make sure they are completely covered in soil. Be careful when watering to make sure you don’t over water. A watering can works best.
Strawberries are usually eaten fresh from the garden after washing. They are a nice addition to a colorful fruit salads, tarts, and even to top off a plate of funny face pancakes with whipped cream. Another favorite treat is chocolate dipped strawberries.
The world’s largest strawberry shortcake was 827 square feet and 6,000 pounds! .
The darker leafy lettuce, which is sometimes purple in color, is a great source of beta carotene. Lettuce is also a good source of folate and vitamin C.
Lettuce is a cool-season crops that perform best when planted in early spring or in the late summer.
Lettuce comes in wide varieties and are about 95 % water, making it a light and refreshing snack. Lettuce is most commonly used in salads with a wide range of mix ins and dressings. Its a nice addition to any sandwich as well.
The worlds largest lettuce salad weighed 22,572 pounds!
Beets are Rich in antioxidants, folic acid, calcium, and potassium.
Beets don’t take up much room. They’re happiest in deep, well-drained soil, and grow well in cooler weather. Beets grow from small pea sized seed clusters which consist of several tiny seeds.
Beets are sweet, and nutritious. They grow best in full sunlight and are most nutritious when eaten raw.
The Bright fuchsia color of beet juice is a great substitute for food coloring! Check out our recipe for Vivala Wee’s Pink Power Pancakes!
Potatoes are a great source of potassium, dietary fibre and vitamin C. They are also a fantastic boost of energy that comes from their starchy carbohydrates.
Potatoes may be grown in containers if you don’t have a large amount of space and they grow amazingly fast. It is very important that you keep the soil moist but not too wet. Sunlight is also essential to make sure your potatoes will grow properly. They need about 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. A good time to know when to harvest is when the plants have flowered in about 6 weeks time
Potatoes grow in all kinds of shapes and sizes. They can be baked and stuffed, mashed, chopped up, or thinly sliced and fried for your very own home made fries and potato chips!
The potato was the very first vegetable to be grown in outer space! | agronomy |

"I see little red things, those are the roots." "Vines on the bottom." "Roots." And, "My shell cracked open!" After looking at and examining them, everyone got to plant their seeds in a cup. Someone said we should put one scoop of dirt, the seeds, and then another scoop of dirt on top. Several children agreed saying, "Yes, so the seeds are in the middle." We got to work scooping dirt, adding water, and placed them on the window sill.
In the big room we played our usual tricycles, block building, dress up, food exchanging, and jungle gym climbing. There were families taking care of babies and each other, workmen building, speed-racers driving tricycles, and monkeys on the jungle gym. Right after cleanup everyone turned into puppies, kittens, joeys, a German shepherd, and one dragon with hard plates on his back for protection.
On our trip to the Prospect Park Zoo wesaw two peacocks, a python, turtles, an owl, baby sheep, goats, and seals. We got to feed the farm animals and pet the snake. The trip went off without a hitch.
Our seeds are still growing in little cups. We watered them two more times this week. Outside we took turns using two rakes, a hoe, and a shovel, to till the dirt. Everyone worked the land diligently clearing weeds, dead leaves, and discovering loads of crawling things in the dirt. After the rain, we found three slugs, two healthy and one no longer with us. There was also a "worm observation table".
We watered and observed our seeds a third time on Friday. There was a bit of excitement over the fact that some of our seeds had changed overnight.
Next week we will plant our seeds and begin our study of the ocean.
Have a great weekend, | agronomy |

In David Nteziyaryo’s home country of the Republic of Congo it is commonplace for people to grow their own food and work alongside neighbours during harvest.
His extensive knowledge of horticulture and collaboration has played an invaluable role in the new community garden, at the Sunraysia Mallee Ethnic Communities Council headquarters in Mildura.
Mr Nteziyaryo has led the creation of the garden by the Mildura Men’s Group.
The garden, which opened in May, offers a variety of free vegetables including silverbeet, cabbage, garlic and lettuce for multicultural community members to take home.
Mr Nteziyaryo said the garden was a source of fresh produce while also creating a sense of collaboration between the volunteers.
“We made this garden to help men from different countries to come together and share their knowledge,” he said.
“The vegetables are important for the community, it is necessary for people to eat and we can share the vegetables and they can take it home to eat.”
Mr Nteziyaryo said the group wanted to expand the garden and needed volunteers who would like to pick up a shovel and help.
“We want to make more (planter) boxes – we have five at the moment and we are hoping to make another five.”
SMECC’s Michael sang the praises of Mr Nteziyaryo for his hard work in bringing the project to life.
“David has been an absolute revelation his knowledge of the plants and his ability to bring people and add to that, he is very good on the shovel,” he said.
“He has been able to help not just here but in many areas around SMECC he has been a great asset to us.”

Understanding the difference between agricultural use and equestrian use and how to document a grazing arrangement.
Horses can be dangerous, as can the arrangements for keeping them!
The agricultural use of land and the equestrian use of land are two very different things as any planning enforcement officer will quickly explain to you. Grazing agreements, farm business tenancies and protected business tenancies are all very different too as any lawyer will tell you.
“Grazing” horses on land is classified as agricultural from a planning use perspective even where the horses are recreational rather than working horses. The key is that the horses are only on the land for the primary purpose of “grazing”. If the horses are given supplemental feed, kept in a field for exercise, covered with rugs or if they are provided with a field shelter then the predominant use of the land may no longer be regarded as agricultural. Any non-agricultural use will require planning permission for change of use although temporary use (up to 28 days a year) for events such as gymkhanas and cross-country competitions can be held on agricultural land without the need for planning permission.
If horses are to be kept for grazing then a grazing agreement or licence should be entered into and in such circumstances it may be possible to retain the benefit of farming subsidies. If the grazing arrangement has any link to a trade or business then provided it just relates to genuine grazing of an agricultural nature then a farm business tenancy is likely to arise but where there is any non-agricultural element along the lines of the examples outlined above then the arrangement may fall within the definition of a business tenancy within the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 which affords a degree of protection (security of tenure) for the occupier. It is very easy to document a grazing arrangement in the wrong way.
Cases will turn on their facts and problems with the local planning authority or with protected tenancies can prove very costly. Be aware and seek advice. | agronomy |

Ruderals, including annual and perennial plants, create many seeds that reproduce quickly. Circumventors, including both plants and trees, are less prolific in seed production, more tolerant of their surroundings than ruderals and have some protection against disease and pests. Stress tolerant plants and trees thrive with little water and no fertilizer. They also protect themselves from predators with bark and resins that kill certain insects and inhibit diseases.
Synthetic or chemical fertilizer is created from liquid ammonia. It is inexpensive to produce and has revolutionized American agriculture. Between 1950 and 1975, total farm product output increased by more than 50 percent and farm labor hours decreased by 60 percent. Mechanization, genetic improvement and increased use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers created this change. Environmental science now identifies atmospheric nitrogen overload from synthetic fertilizer as a primary cause of global pollution, according to a report by the World Resources Institute. | agronomy |

At this point, you may have figured out that the one similarity between natural turfgrass and synthetic is that they are green. Beyond this fact, they are quite different, and each is best utilized when a field is thoughtfully planned. If you are still not sure what type of turfgrass may fit your field, refer to our last blogs exploring the benefits of each type of turfgrass. However, if you are ready to take the next step into construction and field maintenance, you are in the right place.
If you are starting brand new, keep in mind the best sub-base for artificial grass is one that functions like soil. However, there are two main parts to an artificial sports field. First is the base, usually made up of stone and drain tiles. Depending on your location, your material and depth could vary.
Where there are harsh winters, at least 6-8 inches of the trench is needed to accommodate extreme weather that expands and contracts the drainage system. For synthetic turf systems, we even offer heating systems that are used to keep the field from freezing and acting as a snowmelt system. All these specifications make a project’s price range a bit unpredictable until you receive a consultation. At SCG Fields, we construct dynamic base systems and install synthetic turf from all manufacturers in the industry. As a result, we will be your trusted advisor to help you select a system that meets your expectations and needs.
The second process includes the infilled carpet. Infill normally refers to the products that are placed in between the blades or fibers of artificial turf, or the synthetic grass blades. It usually has fibers that are about two inches long and an infill material is brushed into the fibers, leaving about half an inch of exposed synthetic turf grass. Infill materials vary but usually consist of things like silica sand, and crumb rubber as well as many other alternative infills that provide other long-term benefits. The purpose of infill is to help the artificial turf grass blades to stand up or return to their intended upright position after they have been exposed to pressure. Infill also helps to shield the backing used on artificial turf from the damage that is caused by UV rays. For the synthetic turf to be laid down, construction takes place over several days. This is when a concrete border is built, and drainage is installed.
A properly maintained synthetic turf field can last upwards of 12 years. Specialized tools and knowledge are needed for turf maintenance. That is why it is best to invest in expert maintenance. Not only can managing a maintenance program be challenging, but it requires that you have the available time and professionally trained staff to keep your turf looking and performing at its best.A maintenance program consists of regular everyday routine maintenance, semi-annual and annual comprehensive maintenance. A maintenance person should walk the field daily and conduct more detailed inspections according to your field builder’s recommended schedule. To avoid permanent damage to your synthetic turf or safety hazards, check regularly for and address critical items. Along with conducting inspections and making minor repairs, routine maintenance also considers keeping the playing surface clean, maintaining infill levels, and grooming the surface. Regular brushing is an important function that must not be overlooked or neglected. Brushing helps to maintain uniform infill levels, keep the grass fibers upright, remove debris, and improve the field appearance.Over time, comprehensive maintenance should be expected. In these situations, you certainly want to consult your builder before moving forward because more than likely, you will need special equipment. It is important to prepare for special circumstances that might affect your synthetic turf. If you know your region is prone to certain circumstances you may need to complete specialty maintenance, as needed. Environmental changes such as heavy rain, snow, ice, lightning, and static electricity can all be combated with ongoing maintenance. Ensuring these events are taken care of in a timely matter promotes long-lasting artificial turf grass.A field owner needs to understand that certain activities, usage, and other circumstances may impact the field quality, wear and tear, appearance, warranty, and performance of a synthetic turf field. If any doubt exists, the field builder should be consulted. Whether you are looking for a pre-season kick start (30 or 60 days), semi-annual, or permanent maintenance program, let the experts at SCG deliver results that will make your organization proud. | agronomy |

Look no further – we’re diving deep into the realm of ponics. In this article, we’ll explore the definition of ponics, its incredible advantages, and the intriguing contrast between two of its popular variants: hydroponics and aquaponics. By the end, you’ll be equipped with knowledge to embark on your journey into sustainable and productive gardening practices.
Ponics, short for “aquaponics” or “hydroponics,” refers to revolutionary cultivation techniques that eliminate the need for traditional soil-based farming. These methods harness water as the primary medium for delivering nutrients to plants, promoting efficient growth and resource conservation. Ponics presents an innovative way to nurture crops, making it a game-changer in modern agriculture.
The Advantages of Ponics
Ponics offers a plethora of benefits that contribute to its rising popularity among gardeners and farmers alike:
- Water Efficiency: One of the most significant advantages of ponics is its water-saving potential. Traditional soil farming requires substantially more water, whereas ponics recirculates water within the system, drastically reducing wastage.
- Year-Round Cultivation: With ponics, you’re no longer at the mercy of weather conditions. You can cultivate your favorite crops year-round in a controlled environment, ensuring a consistent harvest.
- Space Optimization: Ponics systems can be set up vertically, allowing you to maximize your space. This feature is particularly valuable for urban gardeners with limited room.
- Nutrient Precision: By directly delivering nutrients to plant roots, ponics enables precise control over what plants receive. This results in healthier growth and higher yields.
- Reduced Pesticide Use: Controlled environments in ponics discourage pests, reducing the need for harmful pesticides. This translates to healthier produce and a safer environment.
Hydroponics: A Closer Look
Hydroponics is a subset of ponics that focuses solely on cultivating plants in nutrient-rich water solutions. Here’s what you need to know:
What is Hydroponics?
Hydroponics involves growing plants in a soilless environment, typically using water infused with nutrients. The roots are suspended in the nutrient solution, allowing plants to absorb what they need directly.
Key Components of Hydroponics Systems
- Nutrient Reservoir: A container holding the nutrient solution.
- Growing Medium: An inert material that supports plant roots, such as perlite or coco coir.
- Water Pump: Circulates the nutrient solution.
- pH Control System: Maintains the optimal pH level for nutrient absorption.
- Aeration System: Ensures roots receive oxygen for healthy growth.
Aquaponics: A Unique Twist
Aquaponics, another facet of ponics, combines hydroponics with aquaculture, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem. Let’s delve deeper:
How Does Aquaponics Work?
In aqua Ponics, fish are cultivated alongside plants. Fish waste provides nutrients to the plants, while the plants filter and purify the water for the fish. It’s a harmonious relationship that mimics nature’s balance.
Benefits of Aquaponics
- Natural Fertilization: Fish waste serves as an organic nutrient source for plants.
- Low-Waste System: The symbiotic nature of aquaponics minimizes waste production.
- Diverse Harvests: Enjoy both fish and crops from a single system.
- Water Conservation: The closed-loop system uses less water than traditional farming.
Q: Can I use any type of plant in hydroponics? A: While many plants thrive in hydroponic systems, some are better suited than others. Leafy greens, herbs, and tomatoes are popular choices.
Q: Do aquaponics systems require a lot of maintenance? A: Aquaponics systems are designed to be low-maintenance. Regular checks on water quality and fish health are essential, but the ecosystem largely regulates itself.
Q: Is aquaponics environmentally friendly? A: Absolutely! Aquaponics reduces water usage, eliminates chemical fertilizers, and minimizes waste discharge, making it an eco-friendly choice.
Q: Can I build my own ponics system at home? A: Yes, both hydroponics and aquaponics systems can be scaled for home use. Numerous DIY guides and kits are available to help you get started.
Q: Are the fish in aquaponics systems edible? A: Yes, many aquaponics enthusiasts raise edible fish like tilapia or trout. The fish can be enjoyed as part of a sustainable and diverse diet.
Q: How long does it take to set up a hydroponics system? A: The setup time varies depending on the complexity of the system. A basic system can be assembled in a few hours, while larger systems may take a day or two.
Ponics, encompassing hydroponics and aquaponics, presents an exciting avenue for cultivating plants and fish in innovative and sustainable ways. As you explore this realm, remember that ponics is not only about growing produce; it’s about fostering a connection with nature, promoting efficient resource use, and embracing the future of agriculture.
So, whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a curious beginner, ponics offers an inspiring journey toward greener, healthier, and more abundant harvests. | agronomy |

Fertilizing the lawn is a good way to green up your yard in a hurry. Grass is naturally nitrogen hungry so the little boost of nutrients will give your yard that nice green glow that everyone wants. Be careful, though because too much fertilizer or applications at the wrong time of year could do more harm than good.
2) Don't mow it too short
Mowing too short is a common mistake but is the easiest to remedy. All you have to do is.. well, nothing. Just let it grow! A good height for grass is in the 2.5 to 3 inch height. The longer roots that grow as the result of a longer blade will allow your lawn to stay greener later into the dry season.
3) water at the right time
It's sometimes easiest to just water when you have time but it's always best to do it at the right time. When is that? The best time to water is very early in the morning so that the water can get to the roots before it evaporates in the heat of the day. Also, it's better for the health of the plant because when the sun does come out the excess moisture on he green part of the plant dries off faster keeping away those nast fungal diseases that can get costly to remedy. | agronomy |

“The federal designation will aid Michigan’s farmers for crop losses due to the ongoing heat and drought conditions,” said Snyder. “This disaster designation ensures our farmers and producers have access to additional federal resources to overcome Mother Nature’s challenges.”
The counties designated by USDA as natural disaster or contiguous disaster areas means that qualified farm operators are eligible for low interest emergency (EM) loans from USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA), provided eligibility requirements are met.
“Although we are still determining the full extent of the damage, this year’s extreme weather conditions have caused significant crop losses for Michigan’s farmers,” said Jamie Clover Adams, Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Director. “Additionally, hay production has been impacted across the state which may greatly affect our livestock industry. This federal designation provides much needed aid to Michigan’s farmers and producers to overcome the weather related challenges.”
Farmers in eligible counties have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. FSA has a variety of programs, in addition to the EM loan program, to help eligible farmers recover from adversity.
In order for Michigan to receive federal disaster status, the original crop loss estimates must be verified from harvest yield data. If losses of 30 percent or more are confirmed, and the disaster request is granted, eligible state producers will have access to USDA-FSA’s low-interest emergency loan program for up to 100 percent of their weather-related agriculture production losses. USDA-FSA is the agency responsible for compiling the official crop loss statistics and administering the federal emergency farm loan programs. | agronomy |

Sue started her PhD in 2015 investigating the interactions between two parasitoid wasps (Encarsia formosa and Eretmocerus warrae) and a predatory Hemiptera (Nesidiocoris tenuis) as natural enemies of greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum). Greenhouse grown tomatoes are an important industry in the New England area. The use of biological control can minimise or eliminate the need for chemical control of these pests. Sue will undertake laboratory experiments to examine the feeding and oviposition preferences, the extent of multiparasitism, the level of competition and the outcome of interactions between these natural enemies. Greenhouse tests will then be conducted to determine the most effective combination for control of T. vaporariorum.

Their presence leads to loss of quality and, in many cases, not be able to commercialize the Walnut. Avoid them entails taking measures in the garden, harvesting and drying.
Mycotoxins in foods are an element of high risk to human health. And the nuts are not exempt from the problem, which leads to, While in the country have not been cases, in the field are looking for always prevent.
In nuts can be found Ochratoxin A and aflatoxin B1, two mycotoxins that can cause various diseases, and are colorless, odorless and that they do not lose toxicity with pasteurization.
“The greatest health risk is given by consumption during long time of food contaminated with small amounts of mycotoxins; i.e., by chronic exposure”, explains Claudia Foerster, doctor in veterinary and science Silvoagropecuarian, academic of the U. B. Or ’ Higgins and collaborator of the advanced Centre for chronic diseases (ACCDiS ).
To avoid their presence, the recommendation is to do a proper management in the garden, through irrigation, delivery of nutrients in the amounts and dates that correspond and weed control, Since, as explained Jean Paul Joublan, expert in nuts, This decreases the possibility of the fungi responsible for Ochratoxin A and aflatoxin B1 production affecting the fruit.
Another key moment is the harvest, where it is essential to define the maximum time that the fruit is on the ground, to avoid conditions environmental that occur in this, as moisture and insects, conducive to its emergence, raises Giovanni wolves, researcher at INRA Intihuasi. Why wolves recommends that the work of harvest, drying and storage are programmed so that each process is carried out in the shortest possible time.
The Council is that drying Walnut should be fast, in order that the fruit reaches a humidity of around 8% in a period of no more than 72 hours from the harvest. It is also essential that the wineries or places chosen by producer recorded a relative humidity of 70% and temperatures between 0 ° C and 10 ° C.
In addition, facilities must be well ventilated, protected from rain and from the entrance of rodents, birds and insects, also having a drainage of water from the soil system.
