Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Know-how (KIT) have now developed this technique additional to remove the entire DNA of particular cell sorts and, thus, forestall their formation throughout plant growth. This can even assist scientists higher perceive growth mechanisms in crops. The findings are introduced in Nature Communications.
By the use of molecular scissors, the DNA — the provider of genetic data — will be modified in crops. Up to now, the CRISPR/Cas technique co-developed in crops by Professor Holger Puchta, molecular biologist at KIT’s Botanical Institute has already been used to particularly insert, alternate or mix genes. The objective is to extend the plant’s resistance to illnesses and environmental impacts. CRISPR (stands for Clustered Often Interspaced Brief Palindromic Repeats)/Cas are molecular scissors that may particularly acknowledge and minimize DNA sequences. “We’ve got studied molecular scissors for plant use for 30 years now. At first, we utilized them to switch particular person genes. Two years in the past, we had been the primary worldwide to restructure full chromosomes,” Puchta says. For his analysis, the pioneer of genome enhancing twice acquired the Superior Grant of the European Analysis Council (ERC). “We had been capable of optimize this technique. With CRISPR-Kill, now we have reached now a wholly new stage of growth: We will remove sure plant cell sorts and forestall the formation of particular plant organs.”
Eliminating Secondary Roots and Petals with CRISPR-Kill
The experiments carried out by the scientists targeting secondary roots and petals of the mannequin plant thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana). “These are classical examples in biology. Right here, we all know the genetic program and the cell sorts which can be essential for the formation of those plant organs,” the molecular biologist explains. After the elimination of those cells, CRISPR-Kill crops now not fashioned any petals or secondary roots, whereas the management crops exhibited regular progress.
Opposite to different strategies that remove cells with cytotoxins or laser radiation, CRISPR-Kill induces a number of cuts within the genome. A genome consists of a sure variety of chromosomes, on which the person genes are organized in mounted order. “Up to now, CRISPR/Cas has aimed for precisely one location and has minimize a few times to switch a gene or chromosome,” Puchta says. “Now, now we have reprogrammed our molecular scissors. They now not deal with the genomic DNA solely as soon as, however intention within the respective cell kind for a sequence that’s encountered usually within the genome and that’s important for the survival of the cell. On this method, many cuts are induced on the similar time — too many for the cell to restore them. The cell will die.”
Higher Understanding Improvement Processes in Vegetation
The work of the KIT researchers will be categorised as elementary analysis. “By learning what occurs when a sure cell kind is eradicated, we study extra in regards to the growth processes in crops. How does the plant react? How versatile is the plant throughout growth? Can we take away components of crops that aren’t essential in agriculture, as an illustration?,” Puchta provides. In the long run, meals manufacturing and pharmaceutical functions would possibly revenue from this expertise when the plant is prevented from forming cells that produce toxins, as an illustration. Furthermore, the expertise may be utilized in multi-cellular organisms for the precise modification of tissues.

This was a wonderful evening of music, stories, good food, fellowship and raising funds for sponsorship and projects up at Daybreak. We raised over $100,000.00 in one night, thanks to the generosity of our guests!
The theme for the night was “planting seeds for the future” and every guest left with a little packet of seeds to plant, watch grow and pray for the camp as the seeds mature into plants. In the same way we hope that the seeds we plant with the campers up at Daybreak will grow and flourish once they are off the Island.
Thank you so much to each and every one of you who came out and supported the camp on this night. We had amazing volunteers who put in countless hours before the banquet and who worked tirelessly all day at the venue to make the evening a wonderful success.
Enjoy these pictures taken by Sarah Pothecary of Alba Photography of our event.
Thank you to everyone who did such a wonderful job of preparing for and running this event. Thank you to Bethany Baptist and Sisters Act catering and their staff. Thank you to West Coast Seed Company for donating all the seeds for our guests. Thank you to Nicole Chong for designing our centerpiece verses and Danny Edgecombe and Ian McDouall for creating and cutting the wood for the centerpeices. And a very big thank you to Kayla Elderton for doing the lion’s share of work on the Banquet this year, and our wonderful volunteers for all their work setting up and organizing this event.

Mitsui & Co., Ltd. ("Mitsui", Head Office: Tokyo, President & CEO: Masami Iijima) entered with Yanmar Co., Ltd. ("Yanmar", Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka, President: Takehito Yamaoka) and Coromandel International Limited ("CIL"), which is a member of the Murugappa Group, a mid-tier conglomerate in India, into joint venture agreement on April 25, 2014 to establish Yanmar Coromandel Agrisolutions Pvt. Ltd. ("YCA", provisional name) to manufacture, distribute and provide aftersales service of rice farming machinery in India. Mitsui will acquire a 20% shareholding in YCA through Mitsui & Co. (Asia Pacific) Pte. Ltd.
With around 60% of its total population employed in agriculture, India is a major farming nation and is ranked largest in the world in terms of the area used for paddy cultivation. However, the trend toward urbanization is causing a gradual decline in the agricultural population as more and more small farmers leave the land. At the same time, the expansion of food production has become an increasingly urgent priority as India's population grows. Rice cultivation is a labor-intensive activity, and it will be necessary to achieve sustained production growth by using machinery to offset labor shortages.
The Murugappa Group is a mid-tier conglomerate involved in such areas as fertilizers, agricultural chemicals and sugar production. CIL is the Group's flagship company and accounts for approximately 38% of its sales. Its business activities focus mainly on agricultural regions in Southern India. Yanmar's Indian subsidiary is involved mainly in the importation and distribution of farm machinery manufactured in Japan and China.
Mitsui has strengthened its relationship with the Murugappa Group and CIL through transactions in fertilizers and agricultural chemicals. This relationship has now resulted in the establishment of YCA in partnership with Yanmar to manufacture, distribute and provide aftersales service of rice production machinery. Mitsui aims to strengthen the three-company partnership through this business, by working to expand sales of rice transplanters and combined harvesters manufactured by Yanmar and YCA, while also contributing to the mechanization of agriculture in India.

Ethanol is alcohol fuel derived from sugars found in crops such as rice, potato skins and sugarcane and it is commonly made from corn, sorghum and wheat. Corn is commonly the base material in the United States due to its affordability and availability. But in Brazil, sugarcane is widely used. Since it is produced from plants, it is considered biodegradable and renewable. It is definitely a clear, colorless alternative alcohol fuel. Presently, various methods are used in making ethanol from biomass – an organic material. The fermentation of sugars and starch in corn with the use of yeast is the most frequently method utilized. From starch, it is fermented into sugar, afterwards it is fermented again into alcohol.
A variety of procedures can generate fuel-grade ethanol. But the most widely used is the dry-mill method. Below is the brief step by step process.
1. Let the base organic material (corn, sugarcane, wheat, etc) pass through a grinding meal to pulverize the selected material.
2. Then, liquefy it by placing the blend of water, grain powder and an enzyme that facilitates the breakdown of the grain compound into a high-heat cooker.
3. Cool it afterwards. Add another enzyme that will facilitate the conversion of starch into sugars which are then fermented, producing alcohol from the cooled mash.
4. Start the fermentation by adding yeast to the sugar mixture. The sugars will be broken down to ethanol (a form of alcohol) and carbon dioxide.
5. Distill the fermented mixture in order for the ethanol to separate from the solids.
6. Get rid of the water from the separated ethanol through a dehydration process.
7. To make it undrinkable, add a small amount of gasoline. The ethanol should be non potable to be used as an alternative fuel.
The carbon dioxide and distiller grain which are both byproducts of this method can be use in the ranching and farming industry. Ethanol-producing plant also buys these by-products for a variety of purposes.
Utilizing ethanol means using less of the nonrenewable fuel to produce gasoline. Ethanol is safe, nontoxic and biodegradable. It is not detrimental if accidentally spilled because it breaks down very quickly. It is considered clean for the main reason that it lessens toxic pollutants such as carbon monoxide from the pipelines of vehicles. It does not require lead or other derivatives to keep the engine running smoothly. It has a great probability of decreasing the greenhouse gas emissions because of the fact that biodiesel is primarily derived from crops which absorbs carbon dioxide. Thus, the balance of carbon dioxide is sustained and maintained in the atmosphere.
On another note, ethanol as a transportation fuel can be utilized as a partial or total alternative for conventional petroleum diesel. For urban regions that don’t meet the standards of a clean air, gasoline containing 10% ethanol (E10) is utilized. The extensive use of E10 is encouraged in some states. The use of E10 can be used on all gasoline operated vehicles without making massive modification to their engines. In the United States, almost 99% of ethanol produced can be blended with gasoline to make E10. | agronomy |

We have tried to make the area around us more habitable and attractive to wildlife. Loving the idea, as it means enjoying what is there and not fighting against it.
Previously we have left verges and drive edges to run wild, generally due to time pressures but I have always loved how the untended areas have often looked better than those that have been planned, obviously nature knows best.
This April, after years of talking about it and after being gifted several packets of wild flowers, work has started and a selection of flowers have been added to part of our front lawn and a large area has been allowed to go it’s own way.
We started the process of clearing an area of grass and moss back in April, the seeds were scattered and with a little bit of initial watering, plants have flourish.
We have enjoyed the colour and increase in wildlife that it has brought. It has cut down the amount of mowing needed, with the odd weeding when required, to remove anything that is not desired.
September will see us cut the area, ready to sow ‘yellow rattle’ to hopefully, help subdue the grass further and increase the chance of more flowers being able to dominate a larger area of lawn, next year. | agronomy |

Perhaps it’s too painful for you to spend your days turning over soil ready for flower beds, perhaps the cost of all the soil, mulch and equipment you’ll need is way too high or perhaps – like me – you have a small terraced area rather than a garden. Whatever your reasons are, we’ve found you an easier, more cost effective solution that will make gardening simple. The TruggyWug MKII.
At just W0.7m x D2.0m, the TruggyWug MKII is the perfect size for terraces and balconies as well as larger gardens. You wouldn’t guess by looking at it but the 0.42kg planting depth gives you more freedom over what you plant than the entirety of your garden space. Commonly, in domestic gardens, you will find one type of soil: clay, sandy, silt, loams, peat and chalky soils. These types of soil dictate what will thrive in your garden and what will wilt, this can make it particularly difficult to grow your favourite plants. The TruggyWug MKII can be filled with the soil of your choice (if you opt for multiple, you could put different soils in each), meaning that no plant, fruit or vegetable is off limits. Preparing your soil for planting will be a breeze as it is a lot easier to turn over 0.42kg of soil rather than an entire garden. You can spend time really tending to your plants, ensuring no bugs are eating away at them and giving them the best environment to grow. Two platforms, one positioned on either side, act as trays for your tools so you don’t have to repeatedly bend down to get watering cans, seeds, plants, trowels or anything else you may need.
The TruggyWug MKII has been designed to make gardening a breeze and ensure that those with mobility restrictions or who suffer with bad backs or knees can still have a wonderful garden. The height of our TruggyWug MKII is intentionally specific, making it easier for wheel chair users to use. Tennyson Wharf Care Home experienced the benefit of this feature when they installed our TruggyWug onto the terrace:
I am very happy with the TruggyWug MKII that I’ve bought from you. It was very easy to build and all of our residents, relatives, staff and visitors loved the effect it has given to our courtyard. The height of it makes also perfect for people in wheelchairs as it encourages them to joining in planting. Thanking you so much for such a wonderful and useful product that I am happy to recommend to any of my colleagues and friends.
Being in your garden, your TruggyWug MKII will be exposed to a variety of elements, often in a single day. In order for it to keep its high quality, the TruggyWug MKII has been pressure treated. This process forces non toxic, arsenic free, copper chrome treatment deep within the timber and protects it against rot and fungal decay. This protection means you don’t need to treat it annually or worry about chemicals in the treatment damaging your plants (I know, I researched it here).
In a world of fast food, supermarkets and convenience, many children don’t really know where there food comes from or the work that goes into growing it. Turning your TruggyWug MKII into an allotment, like Pat did, encourages your children to get involved in the garden as well as educating them about their health and nutrition. I know from my niece and nephew that they will become very excited when it’s time to harvest the food they’ve grown! To order one of these brilliant garden structures today, and inject life and colour into your garden again, visit our website (direct link to TruggyWug MKII product page here) or call our sales team on 01234 272 445.

Analysts predict the hemp market will be worth $1billion by 2023, but there is a general consensus that this is too conservative.
The rush by manufacturers to develop CBD-infused products is on as they prepare for their legal sale by the Fall of 2019.
Canada has had a licensing system for the cultivation and processing of industrial hemp for commercial purposes. That year, Health Canada issued licences to 259 farmers to grow on 6,000 acres. By 1999, that number had grown to 674 farmers and 35,000 acres.
Today more than 120,000 acres is in production.
Cultivators were permitted to produce hemp derivatives as long as the sprout, leaves, flowers and bracts of the plant were excluded from the production process. Only the hemp seeds could be used. | agronomy |

With peppers hot, all in a pot — and three stories above street level on a city hall balcony.
It turns out asparagus isn’t the only vegetable at Orlando’s city hall. The next time you’re stopped at the traffic light at South Street and Orange Avenue, look past the glass and steel sculpture that locals have derisively name the asparagus, up at the third floor balcony that is outside Mayor Buddy Dyer’s office, and you’ll see the leafy green tops of a few banana trees. They’re part of Dyer’s “garden,” a few pots planted with vegetables, fruits and herbs that, um, grew out of the city’s start of a community garden project. The few pots, which have a tiny footprint on the huge wrap-around balcony that overlooks the municipal plaza, used to be planted with flowers, the mayor said. “We’ve started a movement toward having community gardens,” Dyer told me. The gardens are in the Colonialtown neighborhood at 1517 Lake Highland Drive, and Parramore, at 654 W. Robinson St. “We’re wanting to expand that program,” Dyer said, “so I thought it would be fun to have a garden on the third floor balcony of the mayor’s office.”
Earlier this summer Dyer took me on a tour of the garden, an expedition that decidedly does not take a tremendous amount of time: it’s just three pots, after all. It was made even shorter by a summer storm that blew in rather ferociously as we inspected the crops. There were tomatoes, hot and sweet peppers, rosemary, mint, the banana tree and, “To make sure it has a nice Gator feel to it,” said the mayor, “we have orange and blue marigolds.” His favorite plant, however, was the one he was expecting to produce a bumper crop of baby corn, up to 60 little ears, he said. He has told people in city hall that they are welcome to help themselves to the bounty, but he has made it clear that the harvesters are to keep their hands off the baby corn. Those are his.
Back inside, out of the now pouring rain and in the relative warmth of a fluorescent lit conference room, city hall staffer Selenia Roldan had been called on by Dyer to demonstrate that the garden wasn’t just for show. She had prepared an array of drinks and nibbles using items gleaned from the garden. There was a hot tea brewed with sage and mint iced tea; a cool mango-berry salad with mint (mint from garden, yes; mangos and berries, no); rosemary infused olive oil; herb baguettes; and bruschetta featuring fresh basil leaves. Oh, and the table was set with the marigolds, Roldan also being of the Gator persuasion. It was a nice demonstration of how to make use of the garden’s produce, and that the planted pots are more than just for show.
By the way, when you’re looking up from down below, if you happen to see someone tending to the pots, it probably isn’t the mayor. Robert Bowden, horticulturist and manager of Leu Gardens lends his expertise to keep the garden going. | agronomy |

Aquaponics may be still largely unknown by the general public, but it’s a growing trend which has the potential to feed the growing world population.
This green technology couples aquaculture and horticulture whilst saving water, energy and nutrients. In an aquaponic system, the used water from the aquaculture sector, which is rich in nutrients, is used to grow the plants. Aquaponics is a highly efficient way of producing food, but, large scale installations lack stability, standardisation and economical profitability.
The EU-funded project INAPRO aims to overcome these limitations by innovating and improving aquaponics in order to respond to the global challenge of sustainable food production. The INAPRO system optimises aquaponics through the integration of cutting-edge technologies and by providing a modular solution for the management of water, energy and nutrients. The final goal of the project is the commercialisation of an innovative model-based aquaponic system.
The main innovation provided by INAPRO is the double recirculation aquaponic system (DRAPS) for water, consisting of a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) for the fish section and a recirculating hydroponic system for the plants section. These two systems run independently and are linked only through a one-way valve. In the INAPRO system, the wastewater from the aquaculture sector is used as fertiliser for the hydroponically grown crops and then, thanks to a cooling trap system, the evapo-transpirated water is captured from the horticulture sector and reinserted into the aquaculture sector. This system allows to establish and maintain optimal conditions in both parts, avoiding negative interactions between the fish and the plants.
Thanks to this innovation, the INAPRO system allows the production of fish and vegetables with almost no external water input. Indeed, INAPRO needs a daily water input representing only 1-3% of the total amount of water circulating in the system. INAPRO has been developed to be scalable to greenhouses of different dimensions and under different climate conditions. Moreover, depending on where the greenhouse is located, the system can use different sources of water (including rainwater) and can be powered by different sources of renewable energy, cutting both costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
INAPRO allows the production of local, healthy and sustainable food that is free from contaminants and chemical residues. In fact, INAPRO does not require fish drugs and antibiotics and employs only a minimal amount of fertilisers. Since the food is produced in a closed system, no pollution is dispersed in the surrounding environment avoiding any negative impact on soil and groundwater.

The Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Food & Beverage staff prides themselves on supporting the farm-to-table movement of minimizing the distance between harvesting and consumption--primarily by limiting food processing, packaging, storage and distribution steps.
Food Service Director Jay Brewer and Executive Chef Wes Hamilton have developed a proprietary grading system of over a dozen different factors to choose their food vendors, including not only food quality, food cost and supply reliability, but also production location within 500 miles and environmental sustainability demonstrated by organic certification.
One result of the grading system has been limiting fish purchases to fresh and wild types approved as "sustainable seafood" by the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Another result has been that over 10% of JHMR's annual half-million dollar food budget goes to local vendors, most of whom are represented by a logo on this page. With a growing local farmer's market and the development of a vertail harvest greenhouse in the town of Jackson, the percent of the annual food budget going to local vendors could double in the next few years.
In 2016, JHMR donated $25,000 as part of our 50th Anniversary season to Vertical Harvest Jackson Hole, our new local greenhouse in the town of Jackson. In addition to donating, we have formed a partnership with Vertical Harvest that brings in their great locally grown produce that we serve at food and beverage locations across the resort..
Fewer food miles may not always translate into lower greenhouse gas emissions, since local transportation inefficiencies, as well as lower local agricultural productivity may cancel out emission savings from averted long-distance transportation. However, the use of local foods encourages regional self-reliance, promotes the Wyoming agricultural heritage, and allows for creative seasonal menus using the freshest ingredients. | agronomy |

Since I’ve already had my summer holiday, I had resigned myself to the fact that I’d be spending my summer in the North East, but hey, that’s okay because I had my summer to-do list. One of my must-not-miss things to do was go strawberry picking and happily, I can say I ticked that off my list this weekend with a visit to Brocksbushes.
Just 20 minutes or so along the A69 from Newcastle, Brocksbushes is super easy to find and such a fantastic North East tourist attraction. I love the story behind the business most of all; now a thriving PYO fruit farm with its own cafe and award-winning farm shop, Brocksbushes was once upon a time was a soft fruit farm only open eight weeks of the year to those in the know.
After paying a £1 deposit per basket, you’re let loose into the fields to pick your own fruit, so off we went in search of strawberries, raspberries and some early blackberries. It took us a couple of rows to find the good’uns but once we did we were on a roll!
The sun was shining, the berries were beautifully fresh and we had a lovely old time.
There’s no pressure to hurry so after scouring the field for as many berries as we could fit in our baskets, Ashleigh and I couldn’t resist sitting among the trees and grass enjoying the sun, before heading for an ice cream and some goodies from the farm shop.
Happy with our horde, we headed home where I made Eton Mess with these gorgeous fruit meringues I spied at the farm shop. If you’re looking for a fun day out on a budget, then I definitely recommend Brocksbushes – I spent less than £10 and had a fantastic time. Who couldn’t use more days out like that?!
Next up on my summer to-do list… an afternoon at the Boilershop Steamer!

Cabbage, and yes, we’re talking about the vegetable here, is a great addition for an autumn arrangement. No, but seriously, despite their less than exotic origins, Cabbages have layers of leaves that overlap in a spiral pattern from the center of its head. The leaves can be either smooth or ruffled, open and large or tightly furled and resembling a rose. The alternating leaves can be lobed or wavy and even highly vained. There are varieties that feature a waxy coating on the leaves. And all of those great attributes come in a variety of colors. From the clean and classic white and green cabbage to the fancy purples and reds there’s a cabbage for all occasions. And while the cabbage plant grows really sweet, little yellow flowers, we don’t bother with them in arrangements. The big, bold, and hyper textural cabbage heads are far more our style.
Native to Britain and continental Europe, today’s cabbage were developed as a crop way back in before 1000 BC. As a food staple, cabbage made its way around the classical world and was greeted with either great devotion or great antipathy. Great people including Cato the Elder and Diogenes considered cabbage superior to all other vegetables. In Europe, cabbage found great popularity during the High Middle Ages, when other crops were in short supply. From Europe the crop spread to Mesopotamia to Egypt as a winter crop and from there it followed the trade routes and continued to spread. There isn’t a lot of evidence that the colorful crop was used in a decorative manner, but here at Starbright, we can imagine that the purples and greens that last well after most flowers drop, have always been a sight for tired eyes. It isn’t a surprise that at some point, someone started cutting the smaller heads for filling vases.
Inside Info /
- Babe Ruth used to place a cabbage leaf under his hat before each game.
- The world’s largest cabbage was grown in 1865 in Durham, England by William Collingwood – it weighed in at a whooping 123 pounds!
- At one time, Russian princes paid tribute not only with racing horses and jewels, but also with potted cabbage plants. | agronomy |

- Weed infestation is one of the major biotic constraints in wheat production. Wheat is infested with diverse type of weed flora, as it is grown under diverse agro climatic conditions, different cropping sequence, and tillage and irrigation regimes. For controlling weeds in wheat, growers mostly rely on herbicides due to cost and time effectiveness. For control of diverse weed flora in wheat combination of herbicides or as sequential, if not compatible are required. However, sole dependence on herbicides is also not desirable as it contributes to shift towards difficult-to-control weeds and the rapid evolution of herbicide resistance, which is a threat for sustainable wheat production. For efficient weed management, the non-chemical weed management tactics should be adopted in conjunction with chemicals (like herbicide mixture and rotation, optimum spray time, dose and methods). Some of the non-chemical agronomic strategies like tillage, sowing time, sowing methods, competitive crop cultivars, higher crop density, closer spacing, irrigation, fertilization and crop rotation can be adjusted and adopted in such a manner that they provide the competitive edge to the crop over weeds.

Across the 16-nation southern African region, 45 million people are “gravely food insecure”, the World Food Programme (WFP) said on January 16. In some regions, the drought is three years old — in others, five.
Zambia: Children absent due to hunger
In the Zambian village of Simumbwe, hundreds waited for food to be distributed by the NGO World Vision and the UN.
“The children ask me: ‘What are we going to eat?'” said Loveness Haneumba, a mother of five.
“I answer: ‘Just wait. Let me look around’.”
A teacher, Teddy Siafweba, said about 15 children in his class were absent that day because of hunger. In the classroom next door, about 30 were missing — nearly half of the roll-call of 70.
South Africa: Mass graves for animals
In South Africa’s Northern Cape province, at the gateway of the Kalahari Desert, the wild animals are used to extreme temperatures, but even they are succumbing to the conditions.
According to Wildlife Ranching South Africa, two-thirds of wild animals in the province have died in the last three years.
In two years, half of the 4 500 buffaloes, hippopotamuses and kudus at the Thuru Lodge game farm near Groblershoop have disappeared.
The average rainfall here is 250mm a year.
“But 250mm, that’s what we have had in five years,” said its manager, Burger Schoeman.
At the top of a hill that overlooked the 22 000ha private reserve, two huge holes served as mass graves.
The drought represents a financial black hole for the lodge, which spends R200 000 per month to feed the animals while cancelling the reservations of tourists on the lookout for “trophies”.
“We need to offer a fair hunt. Hunters can’t shoot weak animals,” said Schoeman.
Drought: Farmer loses 70% of stock
Johan Steenkamp, a 52-year-old farmer with a spread of 6 000ha, said he had lost up to 70% of his stock.
Sheep still give birth, but they abandon their newborn lambs.
“They have no milk,” Steenkamp said. “They leave them there.”
Clever crops the answer to ‘climate shock’
Hand-in-hand with the desperation are signs of hope as some farmers adapt to climate shock.
Three years ago, Imelda Hicoombolwa, a single Zambian mother and small farmer, gambled on agricultural diversification, opting for nutritious vegetables and using techniques adapted to climate change.
“Food is not a problem. I have it,” she beamed.
Before 2017, Hicoombolwa cultivated almost only maize. Today, she harvests cowpeas, which need very little water, as well as peanuts, pumpkins and sunflowers.
“I can make 18 000 kwacha (R18 229) a year. Before, I was making 8 000 kwacha (R8 101) a year,” she said. “Before, the children were missing school because I could not always pay the tuition fees. Not any more.”

Sustainability Education and Collaboration.
We will continue to work with students, faculty, staff and the administration to find and implement sustainable solutions. We will also build on our marketing campaigns to increase engagement on issues of nutrition, eco-friendly products, local food, and overall sustainable living.
Build Gourmet Campus Gardens on each campus.
Our garden program was a big success in 2010. With garden workshops and tastings, we connected with over a hundred students across our campuses to share our appreciation for local, organic food and connecting with nature. We have installed gardens on the Fairleigh Dickinson Madison campus, the NJIT campus in Newark, and have collaborated on the Kean garden in Union.
In 2011 we have created a Gourmet Campus Garden on the Seton Hall campus, and our next site is the Manhattan College campus.
Compost more on each campus.
We will continue to work on finding composting solutions on all of our campuses. In 2010 we have composted over 200,000 pounds of food waste from our kitchens. We now compost food waste on five campus: Seton Hall University, Kean University, Bergen Community College and now in 2011, both Fairleigh Dickinson Madison and Teaneck campuses. The compost we create will be used to fertilize the campus landscapes and build soil.
Purchase more local food.
By growing food on campus and sourcing food from NJ farms, we will serve more local food to our campus communities. We will continue to build stronger and tighter relationships with local farmers, relationships that are mutually beneficial. We will create and maintain organic vegetable and herb gardens on all the campuses we serve and integrate more perennials (berries and fruit) in the gardens over time.
We will continue to recycle cardboard, paper and aluminum on every campus. We will increase the amount of plastic we recycle by at least 10% every year. We will also source alternative materials to replace the plastics used in our operations. | agronomy |

The farm is a third generation family farm including Ryan and Sarah Boyd, their daughter Piper and son Bingham, and Jim and Joanne Boyd.
Our family has a long history of farming and conservation. We are focused on embracing the principles of agroecology to create an extremely diverse and resilient farming system.
The farm consists of approximately 300 black Angus beef cows, calving in June and a diverse crop rotation including spring and winter wheat, oats, canola, flax, peas, soybeans, corn, perennial forages and diverse annual forages for grazing and greenfeed.
Several different management practices have been used to enhance soil health including adaptive grazing, high stock density grazing, no-till, a diverse crop rotation, intercropping, winter grazing corn, bale grazing, and stockpile grazing.
Recently, we have added the grazing of diverse mixtures of annual forages to the crop rotation with rapid improvements to soil health.

Our farming is a great learning experience for the children in our care and support and the community at large. Both the community members and children learn how to plant and harvest according to our sessional cycle, with respect for the land. With this knowledge, the children and community members will be able to learn how to do farming on a small scale and the crops can be used for both nutritional and financial support to the families. This will enable the parents be able to get basic needs of life and also send children to school.
With the additional purchase of more acres of land in the future, we will increase the cultivation of crops inclusive of foods, fruits and also rearing animals like goats, pigs, cows and poultry. This will not only provide food for the children under our care and support, school, but also help poor families in the community and will generate much needed income for running the organization programs. Currently, the land is producing crops such as corn, sweet potato, cassava, banana, and beans which are used for feeding and also selling to get money for running day today errands for the organisation
Bark Yard Sustainable Agriculture
This is set at the farm and it is used as a demonstration site during training on how to set up small gardens near homes. It is also used to train about promoting small-scale irrigation farming and organic farming. RCU also uses plastic containers as vegetable gardens and these can be placed on house verandas or in the compounds. These can be able to provide vegetable foods all around the year hence improve nutrition for all. Women and youth groups are empowered to practice this farming due to the fact that they are also able to sell some of the vegetables so as to earn some financial support hence purchasing other basic needs in their homes.
Small groups of people are also provided with a few animals like pigs, goats and chicken after being empowered on how to look after them. When they give birth, we also give other members of the community to do the raring. This project has helped many live out of the poverty cycle as many are now able to save money hence being able to access basic needs and also send children to school | agronomy |

They are often grown as ornamental plants, but can also be used for their fruit in warmer climates. Here’s a guide on how to care for banana trees, including information on propagation, fertilization, optimal soil and sun conditions.
Caring for Banana Trees Banana trees need warm temperatures and lots of sunlight to thrive. They prefer temperatures between 60-90 degrees Fahrenheit and should be placed in an area with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. They also require high humidity and regular watering. The soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. It is also important to protect banana trees from frost and freezing temperatures.
Propagation Banana trees are propagated by rhizomes, also known as “suckers” or “pups” that grow from the base of the mother plant. These pups can be removed when they are about 6 inches tall and planted separately. It’s important to use a well-draining potting mix for banana trees, such as one made up of equal parts peat moss, coarse sand, and perlite.
Fertilization Banana trees are heavy feeders and require regular fertilization to promote growth and fruit production. A balanced, water-soluble fertilizer should be applied to the soil every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. It is important to use a fertilizer with a high nitrogen content to encourage leaf growth and a high potassium content to promote fruit development.
Optimal Soil Conditions Banana trees prefer a well-draining, rich soil with a pH between 5.5-7.5. They also require a high level of organic matter in the soil. A mixture of equal parts peat moss, coarse sand, and perlite is a good option for banana trees.
Sun Conditions Banana trees need full sun to thrive, at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day is optimal. They can be grown in partial shade, but it may reduce fruit production. If you live in a colder climate, it is best to grow banana trees in a greenhouse or indoors where they can receive the necessary sunlight and warmth. Banana trees are a beautiful and unique tropical plant that can be a great addition to any garden. They require warm temperatures, high humidity, regular watering, and lots of sunlight to thrive. They should be fertilized regularly and propagated by rhizomes. With proper care, these plants can bring a touch of tropical beauty to your home and delicious fruit to your table. | agronomy |

But this is not true.
What you see in this video is a calculated attempt to intimidate the Christian population from their ancestral lands and dissuade other Christians from returning home.
Khalil told me that no-one was killed in this attack, but there was significant damage to farm equipment and the irrigation network, which is vital to their crop survival. He asked if we could help him, and I said I would do everything possible! That’s why I’m asking you, today, to make a special gift in solidarity with the Christian farmers in Northern Iraq.
Help us, help them rebuild their farms and stand up to intimidation. Please give what you can. Thank you | agronomy |

Known as the fruit tree kingdom, it is famous all over the country as a cherry, La France pear and grapes producing area. Also, along with each Tohoku prefecture and Niigata, it is a prosperous rice-growing area. I am pleased to introduce some popular wagashi of Yamagata prefecture. The largest part of Yamagata prefecture area is occupied by mountains. Most of the people live along Mogamigawa River flowing through the middle of the prefecture.
Presenting Yamagata Prefecture Local Souvenirs of Wagashi
“Noshi Ume” , produced by Satouya
The balance of the plum’s original sourness and sweetness makes an exquisite jelly-like cake. Using only full-ripened plums from Murayama city, Yamagata prefecture. Using only sugar and agar-agar, the artisan carefully crafts the cakes following the traditional confectioning method.
Popular souvenirs Nippon Wagashi from Zao Onsen. A small white rice cake placed on a real bamboo leaf. Decorated with a yellow-dyed rice grain. Inside the rice cake there is strained bean paste, with a sticky, chewy texture. The bamboo leaf’s original flavor slightly passes in the rice cake and its fragrance can be enjoyed too. | agronomy |

Anyway...we've had to replace a large part of the subflooring and the flooring. Now we're going to lay concreteboard and tile the thing.
In the midst of all this fun and excitement, my mom called to say the corn was ready. (Okay... all you from the north, don't yell at me because the corn around y'all is only two inches high and we're already harvesting...Marianne already took care of that job). We don't grow corn because it takes up too much space, but we have friends who do. And...$2/dozen. Can we say happy?
So, we bought ten dozen (which actually worked out to more like twelve dozen, because they are firm believers in the concept of the baker's dozen, and more. So... last night we put up corn.
After washing the corn and removing the last few silks (and I know I missed some, but.. ),
And .... because of a hard evening's work, we'll be able to enjoy fresh corn all year. After all, you can't get much fresher than on the stalk at five and in the freezer before eleven!
So... how was your day? | agronomy |

Small scale wine making exposed Dustin to the vibrant regional community of people developing and fostering a strong wine industry based on cold hardy grape varieties. This experience led Dustin to a new vision for what to do with his small, former dairy farm outside of Rochester, Minnesota. In 2004, with the help of family, Dustin planted what would be the first two blocks of 300 cold hardy grape vines. By 2006, after working several years with available grape varieties, Dustin and family took the leap and started Salem Glen Vineyard & Winery. The winery opened the tasting room doors in July 2007, and expanded in 2009 to add a new tasting room and event space. Salem Glen's focus is producing world class wines made from cold hardy grape varieties and introducing these wines to visitors from near and far. | agronomy |

After all, a greenhouse doesn’t necessarily have to be a huge glass structure like they have in botanical gardens. You can make a greenhouse work in almost any setting, given the right materials and the desire.
Not so sure you even have the desire yet? Maybe you’ll change your mind after checking out these top five reasons for having a greenhouse.
1. Greenhouses Can Be Very Economical
Inflation is making a serious dent on household budgets across the nation and the globe. Food prices have surged 30% in the last year, due to increased demands, a broken supply chain, extreme weather, and worker shortages.
And unfortunately, this is not a trend that seems likely to break any time soon.
The fact that growing your own food can be much more affordable than buying from your local supermarket is one of the primary reasons greenhouses are trending right now.
When you have your own greenhouse, you can worry less about rising prices at the grocery store. You can even sell your own goods to friends, neighbors, and at a farmers market if you get a knack for it!
That would certainly be a smart way to earn a monetary gain on your investment.
2. Greenhouses Let You Grow What You Want
As mentioned, the broken supply chain is affecting the price of the food you buy. And it’s also affecting the availability of what you usually buy.
However, when you have a greenhouse, you choose what to grow. You can grow incredible heirloom tomatoes for salads and galettes, fresh herbs to season your meals, carrots for stews and snacks, and even plants and flowers to adorn your home.
If you live in a medical or recreational marijuana state, you can even grow cannabis to make healing salves and tinctures. If this all sounds impossible, believe us, it’s not so challenging! On that note, check out this quick guide to growing your own cannabis indoors if your local laws allow it.
3. Greenhouses Can Help You Eat More Fruits and Veggies
With all the hustle and bustle of the daily grind, it’s near impossible to eat the recommended daily amount of fruits and vegetables.
But having your own greenhouse makes that so much easier. And satisfying!
Since you’re growing your favorite vegetables and fruits by hand in your private greenhouse, your desire to eat healthier increases.
You’re certainly not going to let all that fresh produce go to waste when you’ve invested so much time and energy in growing it! This is just another top reason for having a greenhouse.
4. You Know What You’re Growing in Your Greenhouse
Let’s face it: most of us have no idea where our produce comes from or how it was made. We don’t even necessarily like to think about that aspect of the food chain!
But with your own greenhouse, you know exactly what is in your food and you grew it. This is not only about having peace of mind (though that’s a huge part of it!) It’s also a wonderful way to take pride in the items you nurtured, tended to, and grew with the utmost care.
5. Greenhouses Maximize Your Green Thumbs’s Potential
If you are thinking about having a greenhouse, odds are, you already have some level of gardening proficiency. And a greenhouse is a surefire way to make the best use of your skills.
First of all, consider a greenhouse’s design. They are classic glass structures that magnify natural sunlight (or in the case of indoor greenhouses, grow lights) while protecting your plants from overexposure to the elements.
While the structure itself is incredible, you have to put in plenty of work, too. You’ll have to constantly measure the temperature and humidity levels while gauging the overall health of each plant.
Owning and maintaining a greenhouse is unbelievably satisfying work. And the more you commit to it, the better at it you’ll become. Sure, you’ll have to overcome a learning curve and there will be ups and downs, but you’ll conquer these and have a beautiful bounty to show for it.
These are just five of the top reasons for having a greenhouse.
You may have your own reasons for doing so, too.
But overall, when you have your own greenhouse, you can expect to:
- Save money
- Grow what you love
- Eat more nutritious foods
- Understand how you grew each crop
- Enjoy a better sense of self-reliance as your gardening skills develop
With the right tools and equipment, and an unbeatable can-do attitude, these are all the things you can have along with your greenhouse. | agronomy |

When my father-in-law learns that all the grandchildren have more than a week off, he immediately plans a trip!
This particular trip a couple of years back started off in the US east coast and we were able to catch the last week of pumpkin picking at Hacklebarney Farm in Chester, New Jersey.
Definitely a new experience for us who come from the other side of the world.
While we do celebrate Halloween here with trick or treating, costumes and all,
we don't have pumpkins to pick or jack-o-lanterns to carve!
The fields were already withered and there were only a few pumpkins left. But that didn't matter--we never saw a pumpkin patch before so we were so excited.
The G was not a happy camper as it was too cold for her
but she agreed to pose with some pumpkins.On the other hand, C who loves the airconditioner always on full blast happily went about picking
all the pumpkins she could get her hands on, even if they were quite heavy.
After picking pumpkins outside for about twenty to thirty minutes, we went into the farm store to buy the pumpkins and to and warm up with hot mulled cider.
We would've loved to try the cider dog, but the kiosk was closed for the day. That's what happens when you have a whole household of kids and you need to get everybody out the door...late for everything!
If you noticed, we were the only ones picking pumpkins at this late time of day.
They were also selling apples at the farm store.
They had them separated by variety in little buckets, with some buckets marked "pie blend".
I was tempted to buy a couple of buckets and make some pies, but we were traveling with the whole extended family, and this was definitely no time to be a "Martha"!
Here in Manila, I've only come across Fuji, Granny Smith and Red Delicious apples. Maybe a couple of more varieties or so. But the varieties in the States confuse me. Sometimes I just want a plain apple and I don't know which one to pick. Here is an apple chart and list which I got off this blog.
- Macintosh - smaller red apples, juicy, slightly tart and softer, best for baking and applesauce; harvest: Sept.
- Granny Smith - bright green, firm, juicy and tart, perfect for eating, in salads and baking; harvest: late Sept-early October
- Empire - a NY developed variety is a cross of Macintosh and Red Delicious, semi-crisp, sweet and tart, good for eating, baking and desserts, cider; harvest: late Sept.
- Red Delicious - dark red, sweet, med-crisp, great for anything, most popular apple sold in US; harvest: late Sept./early Oct.
- Ida Red - big red apples, juicy and sweet, good for cooking/baking, desserts, applesauce; harvest: early-mid Oct.
- Mutsu (Crispin) - one of my favs is yellowish-green, crisp and sweet, great for eating, applesauce and cider; harvest: mid-late Oct. for sweeter apples
- Honeycrisp - my ALL TIME fav is medium red and yellow, very crisp and very sweet, just a little tart; harvest: mid Sept. and have a long shelf life; These are mostly grown in the midwest (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan) as they were developed in Minn. I have found that these are more expensive than other apples but in my opinion, well worth the price!
Back to Hacklebarney now--they also had all these homemade (farm-made) goodies too.
Back outside, C spied a few ears of corn...
She was thrilled that she was the only one who found corn in a farm that
(she thought) had only pumpkins and apples. I found out belatedly that there is an amazing corn maze on this farm, but I think finding the maize was the closest we got to the maze. lol.
It was an amazing "stateside" fall day for all of us,
and these city-slicker kids had the thrill of adding "pumpkins" to their
Happy Halloween to all! | agronomy |

Farming is a long-established, familial way of life, where customs, toil, and love of the land turn over through generations. This steadfast commitment to agriculture is the best example by Sonne Farms, which encompasses a wide range of initiatives that express their support for this crucial sector of the economy.
The production of grain, the breeding of livestock, and the sowing of soybeans form the basis of their agricultural endeavors. The family’s farm and community are on core procedures, including:
They are proud to continue these practices and strive to improve the quality and production of their farming operations, demonstrating their dedication to these essentials.
As part of its holistic approach to farming, Sonne stresses sustainability by maintaining lush grasslands and growing alfalfa because it understands how crucial a healthy environment is to the long-term viability of its operation.
Grasslands enrich soil, support wildlife, and provide cattle with forage.
Sonne grasslands, a vibrant green landscape, enhance soil fertility and develop the surrounding area’s appeal, promoting a healthy coexistence between agriculture and the environment. They provide habitat for various animal species and vital fodder for livestock, resulting in healthier, happier animals that supply the community with premium steak.
Alfalfa enhances sustainability, enriching the soil and benefiting cattle health.
Legume crop alfalfa strengthens their dedication to sustainability. The plant is well-known for its capacity for nitrogen, such as:
- Enhance soil fertility
- Lower the demand for synthetic fertilizers
Alfalfa helps farming operations, promotes environmental sustainability, and benefits crops. Its high fodder quality benefits cattle and enhances their well-being and production.
Purebred Black Angus Bulls: Elevating regional cattle genetics, fostering quality.
The distribution of purebred Black Angus Bulls to the South Dakotan agricultural community is one of the finest achievements. These bulls are the outcome of careful breeding and genetic selection to produce cattle of the highest caliber. They contribute significantly to improving the genetic variety and caliber of the local cattle herd by imparting their knowledge and these remarkable bulls to other farmers and ranchers.
Sonne purebred Black Angus bulls, with their excellent genetics, produce more and healthier cattle, influencing other ranchers’ herds and raising beef standards in South Dakota, thereby enhancing the state’s standing as a leader in agriculture.
In conclusion, Sonne is a family-run company dedicated to agriculture, pursuing excellence, including:

Looking forward to the new "workforce" (left to right): Jung's managing directors Dennis Dennig and Arne P. Bender together with beekeeper Markus Sautter.
Two new bee colonies were settled on the roof of the company building of JUNG since 1828 at the beginning of September 2019. This bee sponsorship in cooperation with the award-winning initiative "nearBees – honey from next door" is the latest contribution of the renowned manufacturer of tasty promotional products in its systematic commitment to more species protection and sustainability. The two managing directors Arne P. Bender and Dennis Dennig warmly welcomed their new "workforce". "We are very pleased to welcome our new 60,000 hard-working employees and thus make a valuable contribution to the preservation of the local honeybees," says Managing Director Dennis Dennig. "The global importance of honeybees is huge: As pollinators for more than 70 percent of all plant species, they are the guarantors of the diversity of our blossoming nature and thus the food base of humans and animals worldwide. In return, we humans should protect, support and ensure that they thrive. The settlement and care of new native bee colonies is an important step to ensure that the bee population in Germany can grow again. JUNG has been committed to this goal since 1828," says Managing Director Arne P. Bender. We have started with two new beehives on the JUNG company premises. There are plenty of meadows, fields and orchards for a fertile bee pasture in this area. With the help of an experienced beekeeper, everything is done to ensure that the zestful nectar collectors feel well and develop well. "As a positive side effect, JUNG will also be making its own delicious and naturally sustainable honey. We are looking forward to this very much," says Dennis Dennig. www.jung-europe.de | agronomy |

David September 12, 2014 Home Inspiration, Home Styling, Small Home Living, Sustainability In the modern housing market, a backyard can be something of a luxury. Accordingly, most modern townhouses and smaller homes have tiny backyards with little room for a garden or anything else. Luckily, there are few easy ways to maximise your space and make the most of a tight situation… Grow flowers along a wall. Pick a species that grows along a wall for the illusion of more space and a larger garden. Jasmine is particularly lovely and grows quite easily. Wall-climbing flowers require only a small amount of space for the root structure to grow and occasional watering, so they’re ideal for small, urban spaces. Use a few small gardening pots for herbs and flowers. You’d be amazed what you can grow in a small pot, so buy a few and get started! Herbs like basil, thyme, mint and many more can be grown in small pots in almost any climate. There are also dozens of strains of flowers perfect for growing in a pot. Just make sure they have a little bit of sun and regular water and you’ll have a portable garden in no time. Try vertical gardening. If you’re short on floor space, vertical gardening can offer homeowners a cheap and efficient way to grow vegetables and other plants. Most DIY vertical gardens use old shoe racks or wooden pallets as their basis, but feel free to choose your own basis for the design. Essentially, vertical gardening requires that plants are grown in spaces on top of one another, so there are many possible alternatives! Consider expanding into the front yard. Some smaller, suburban houses will have more yard space in the front part of the house. Owners and occupants should be encouraged to use this space for their gardening purposes as well. There are also common spaces in developments which are sometimes given over to community gardens or planting. Consult with your Owners Corporation or have a chat with neighbours to see if such a place exists. With these simple tips in mind, inhabitants of small houses can have a luscious garden of their own all year round! Melbourne’s Swanston Hotel, Grand Mercure, the laneway city’s premier hotel.

As our planet gets more and more densely populated, not everybody has access to their own private garden for growing plants, flowers or vegetables. Despite this fact, there are many people who have a desire to grow their own plants and will go to great lengths to achieve this. Container gardening is the new phenomenon to combat lack of space. This is often accomplished by using lightweight plastic containers, however, we are told more often these days of the concerns of using plastic in our everyday lives. So, the question is, are plastic containers safe to use? The safety tests have been completed and it is now proven that it is very safe to grow produce and plants within plastic containers. They also offer the extra benefits of being sturdy, lightweight and durable.
Advantages of Using Plastic Containers
Plastic containers are flexible, strong and lightweight. They are also available to purchase in every imaginable colour so they can easily be matched to whatever décor is already present in the garden or patio. They make for a very bright and uplifting colour backdrop to any environment. They also have a huge advantage over clay containers in that they hold moisture for a much longer period of time. This greatly benefits moisture loving plants and flowers and is also good for the forgetful gardener, not all gardeners remember to give the flowers a regular drink. Many plastic pots are now made from recyclable plastic so when they are no longer needed they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. The different colours available make it much easier for reliable growth of particular plants. For instance, flowers and plants that need a lot of heat should be placed in a black container as this will attract more sunlight than a white pot. On the other hand if the gardener needs to grow a delicate plant then the choice would be a light coloured pot.
Considerations when Purchasing Plastic Containers
When a gardener is looking for a plant pot that will last the test of time then it goes without saying that plastic is the way forward. If time is an issue for let’s say the busy lifestyle and not much time to dedicate to gardening then again plastic is the best option as it requires less care than conventional clay pots. Many people live very busy lives and yet love to have that splash of colour outside their windows so plastic containers are the answer to make their dreamlike garden come true. Plastic containers are ideal for the not so clued in gardener as they require little knowledge. They will heat and cool down quickly so that fragile roots rarely get damaged even when in a sunny position. It is also very easy to drill additional holes for extra drainage if needed.
Colourful Flowers in Colourful Pots
Flower are said to help place an unrestful mind at ease. This is why a lot of people enjoy a relaxing break in a colourful garden or patio. Flowers are nourishment for the mind and soul. Flowers will give an even greater result when matched with a beautiful coloured plastic pot. | agronomy |

Allelopathic potential of Citrus reticulata peel extract for weed control
The potential use of tangerine orange (Citrus reticulata) peel extract for controlling barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) was investigated. Crude extracts of dried powdered peel with 70% methanol before and after chlorophyll removal were compared. The crude extract without chlorophyll showed greater inhibition efficiency of seed germination than the extract containing chlorophyll. Moreover, the extract of chlorophyll-lacking fraction was shown to contain ABA, a known growth inhibitor in various plant species. This fraction also showed higher concentration of ABA than before chlorophyll removal which greatly correlated to the weeds germination inhibition test. This work suggested the ability of the crude extract of Citrus reticulata’s peel to control weed growth could be enhanced by chlorophyll removal. | agronomy |

Further, the efficiency of protoplast change was optimized threefold over prior strategies, despite a fourfold decrease in DNA volume. The methods created in this function remove the price barrier previously restricting high-throughput testing of genome-editing and gene silencing goals in switchgrass, paving the true way for better development of transgenic plant life. L.) was selected for further research. Previous research provides demonstrated the financial viability of switchgrass as both an agricultural and biofuel crop (McLaughlin and Kszos 2005). However, a major financial barrier towards the broad usage of switchgrass being a lignocellulosic feedstock may be the recalcitrance of cell wall space to digestion. To be able to decrease recalcitrance, numerous research have centered on the era of transgenic plant life with changed lignin and cell wall structure destined phenolics (Fu et al. 2011; Ragauskas et al. 2014; Shen et al. 2012, 2013). Furthermore, since switchgrass is certainly a non-model crop, it’s been necessary to recognize promoters that may successfully regulate the appearance of transgenes in switchgrass (Mann Wortmannin price et al. 2011, 2012b). Although some success continues to be accomplished in the era of transgenic switchgrass with changed cell wall structures, the existing route from id of focus on promoters and genes, through callus change, accompanied by phenotypic characterization in Wortmannin price the greenhouse is extremely laborious and slow (Burris et al. 2009; Li and Qu 2011). While previous research has attempted to utilize switchgrass protoplasts for transient screening, the procedure was cost prohibitive, slow, and not very efficient (Mazarei et al. 2008). Considering the importance for quick testing of promoter efficiency, genome-editing and silencing targets, and gene expression in switchgrass, the development of a rapid, low-cost protoplast isolation and transformation system was the primary objective of this work. Methods and Materials Herb materials cv. Alamo seeds had been extracted from Bemert Seed (Muleshoe, Tx, USA). For preliminary optimization, Alamo seed products had been planted at an approximate thickness of 20?mg/cm2 in Fafard? 3B earth mix (Sunlight Gro Horticulture, Agawam, Massachusetts, USA), and harvested using a 16?h light, 4?h dark cycle at 22?C to create lawns of switchgrass plant life in flats.

Due to its mild onion flavor, this aromatic plant has been used for centuries as a culinary herb and an excellent source of vitamins and minerals.
Chives are tasty and nutritious and can also be used for pest control. Studies have been conducted to determine whether or not chives contain compounds that repel certain types of pests; the results may surprise you!
In this article, we will discuss the following:
- How chives can deter pests
- What types of pests can be repelled with them
- How to use them effectively in your garden
Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are a perennial herb in the Allium family, closely related to garlic, onions, and leeks. They are native to parts of Europe and Asia but have been naturalized in North America for centuries.
Their long, thin stems grow up to 18 inches in length and feature grass-like foliage that produces attractive lavender flowers. Both the leaves and flowers are edible and often used as culinary garnishes or as a flavorful addition to salads and other dishes.
Chives contain sulfur compounds that emit a pungent smell when their leaves are crushed. This can help scare off certain pests like beetles who avoid the scent of Moluccan chive plants due to their sensitivity to the smell.
Additionally, chive extracts have been studied for their anti-fungal properties, suggesting that they may be effective at deterring some types of fungi on plants.
Furthermore, growing chives around vegetable plants may help attract beneficial insects like bees, which pollinate food crops while further fending off unwanted pests from invading gardens.
Chives as a Natural Pest Repellent
Chives are a natural pest repellent and have been proven effective at deterring certain pests from your garden. As a garden herb, chives can help keep away insects such as beetles, slugs, aphids, and caterpillars.
This makes chives an excellent natural and organic way to protect your garden from unwanted pests.
This article will explore the benefits and drawbacks of using chives as a pest repellent.
How Chives Deter Pests
Chives are a perennial herb that can be used both in the kitchen and in the garden. Not only are they deliciously oniony, but chives have long been a popular companion plant due to their natural pest-repellent qualities.
Many home gardeners use chives as part of an organic pest control strategy, as the herb’s pungent odor is known to keep away a wide variety of insects and other pests.
So how do chives deter pests? Allium schoenoprasum – commonly known as chives – produces vital sulfurous compounds that repel pests such as aphids, beetles, carrot leaf miners, slugs, and other annoying visitors.
While this pungent smell helps to keep unwanted bugs from the garden, it has little impact on beneficial species such as ladybugs and bees.
Additionally, companion herbs like thyme or oregano can help to act further as insect repellents when planted near other flowering plants, where they can spread their scents even more effectively.
Chives also offer some additional advantages:
- Their thick clumps of grass-like foliage add texture to your flower beds.
- Their hollowed stems make them ideal for harvesting seedling onions.
- Their pretty purple blooms offer nectar for bees and butterflies.
- Finally, because they increase without too much care or maintenance, they’re perfect for busy gardeners who don’t have time to fuss over every plant in their garden!
Benefits of Chives as a Pest Repellent
Chives, or Allium schoenoprasum, are widely used by gardeners as a fertilizer and natural pest repellent. Chives contain the natural composting agent allicin, which is responsible for their garlic-like smell.
When chives are crushed, the allicin is released, creating an odor that repels garden pests.
Additionally, chives have been known to help add nutrients to the soil and break down organic matter into more simple forms of nutrition for access by other plants in the garden.
Regarding pest control, chives are especially effective at deterring aphids, leafminers, and ants. Other insects, such as slugs, caterpillars, and beetles, may also be affected. Since chives tend to bloom in late summer or early fall, so they are an excellent deterrent against last-minute pest attacks before winter.
Additionally, many other higher plantings (such as grapevines) can benefit from the presence of chives: placing cuttings near higher growths tends to create an effective barrier against pests or larger animals attempting to feast on vines or other vegetable crops.
Using chives in your garden can help keep pests away and aid your plants’ health! If you think your garden could benefit from an all-natural solution to pest control problems, consider researching how natural ingredients such as chives can enhance your gardening experience!
How to Use Chives as a Pest Repellent
Using chives to repel pests naturally can be an effective and ecologically friendly method of keeping unwanted critters away from your home and garden. Chives are not only a tasty herb that can be used in cooking, but they can also provide a natural pest repellent that works on various creatures.
Let’s explore the ways that chives can be used to deter pests from your property:
Choosing the Right Chives
Chives are a crucial pest deterrent and come in several varieties, all of which help to keep unwanted insects away. When selecting chives for your garden, you should consider the following:
- Garlic chives (Allium Tuberosum): the flavor is slightly milder than the more common onion chives and is described as having a subtle garlic taste. Garlic chives have flat leaves that are wider than onion chives, and they have white flowers. Garlic chives are known to deter aphids, Japanese beetles, and slugs.
- Onion or common chives (Allium Schoenoprasum): this variety is the most popular among home gardeners; it has a mild onion flavor and purple flowers that bloom in late spring or early summer. Onion or Common Chive plants have round leaves and tend to spread quickly when planted in ideal conditions. Common Chive plants can repel many pests, including aphids, carrot weevils, leaf miners, caterpillars, beet armyworms, potato bugs, snails, slugs, and Mexican bean beetles.
- Giant Siberian Chive (Allium Ledebourianum): As its name implies, this plant can grow quite large with leaves up to 8 inches long, creating an attractive layer of foliage in the garden setting. The Giant Siberian Chive produces a mild garlic flavor similar to Garlic Chives but with larger blooms that range from white to pinkish purple that will attract pollinators like bees and butterflies! These make intelligent choices for plantings along perimeters that need additional protection against unwanted guests like grasshoppers, aphids, or crickets.
Chives are one of the most valuable plants for controlling garden pests because they repel insects and larger animals. Planting chives around the perimeter of your garden or near other choice plants can help protect them from pest damage.
To begin, choose an area with full sun and well-drained soil. Add some compost to the soil to make it exceedingly indulgent for your growing chives.
Plant the chive bulbs 4-5 inches apart, with each bulb about 2 inches deep in the soil. After planting, water regularly to keep the soil moist. When you harvest chives seasonally, be sure not to take more than a third of the plant’s height, as this can weaken it significantly.
Once your chives reach a mature size and begin flowering, cut off spent blooms whenever possible to encourage more flowers. Chive flowers are edible, too – as well as being beautiful in salads or desserts!
The long leaves of established plants can also be harvested and used like scallions in salads or any dish needing an onion flavoring; snip off what you need from the bunch when harvesting.
When growing chives for pest control purposes, it is essential to know that their repellent qualities will diminish if undisturbed areas of land exist nearby where these pests may move around without obstacles, such as fences or borders offering resistance or protection from predators or weather conditions such as direct sunlight, rain and so forth.
The best way to ensure strong repellency is by planting them in dense amounts near anything that needs protection – like vegetable patches! Additionally, adding other plants known to repel pests (such as marigolds) will help further reduce unwanted visitors your garden might experience.
Other Uses for Chives
Chives not only act as a natural pest repellent, but they can be used in various ways. Here are some additional benefits of adding chives to your garden or kitchen:
- Culinary Uses: Chives are one of the most popular and versatile herbs in cooking. Chive flowers and leaves can be used fresh or cooked to add flavor to salads, soups, and pasta dishes.
- Aesthetic Benefits: Since chives come in purple and green varieties, they provide an attractive contrast against other plants in the garden and can also be used as edging plants or ground cover. They also fill out a container planting nicely with their soft textured foliage.
- Medicinal Uses: The active ingredient allicin makes this herb a potent anti-inflammatory and natural antibiotic that helps fight bacteria, fungi, bladder infections, colds, bronchitis, shingles virus, as well as worms like pinworms and roundworms if ingested regularly. Chive extracts have also been used to treat skin wounds infected with MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus).
- Can Chives And Oregano Be Planted Together?
- Can Chives And Parsley Be Planted Together?
- Can Chives And Rosemary Be Planted Together?
Overall, chives are a viable option for deterring pests from gardens, as many species of pests reportedly do not like the smell or taste of garlic or onion, which are present in chives.
Since there are no reported adverse side effects of using chives, and they are relatively easy to propagate, they may serve as an effective pest control method.
Other herbs and plants can also help repel or distract certain garden pests while encouraging beneficial species, making them another viable option to consider alongside chives.
By providing an inhospitable environment for pest species and beneficial habitats for beneficial predators, gardeners may enjoy healthier harvests and an improved garden environment. | agronomy |

Today, advances in agronomy combined with smart agriculture technology have improved crop yields and sustainability. Enhancements in animal husbandry technology, improved breeding, nutrition and disease management help ensure optimal growth and performance of livestock. In spite of these innovations, the agricultural industry still faces significant challenges in producing enough food and getting it safely to market. These include changing weather patterns, water shortages, urbanization, population growth, complex environmental regulations, and dwindling available agricultural land, among others. In addition, food waste is a significant drain on the global food supply. Food insecurity is still a worldwide problem, with 821 million people malnourished 1 and approximately one third of the food that’s produced being wasted.2 With the world’s population expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, according to United Nations estimates,3 food security and malnourishment challenges could worsen. To feed this growing population, the agricultural industry will have to produce 70% more food than it’s currently producing4 and will need to deliver it more efficiently and safely to the end consumer. There is also an increasing focus on animal well-being, which can be improved by effectively tracking and monitoring animal behaviour, feed intake and early signs of illness or discomfort. The industry needs a holistic approach that can increase productivity while improving environmental impact, sustainability and efficient utilization of resources.
To succeed, the industry must make improvements at every point of the value chain — from production and harvest to transportation, distribution and storage — to optimize output and reduce waste. In addition to improvements across the individual functions of the value chain, digital technology enables enhanced integration across these silos of innovation. Digital technologies and the internet of things (IoT) are driving a transformation through smart agriculture solutions that help farmers do more with less. For example, sensors and other IoT-enabled devices gather volumes of critical data in real time. These devices include video solutions that gather data for animal monitoring, drones and robots that assess crop quality and growth, and more. New technologies are also being developed to enhance and automate processes traditionally performed by people, especially in food processing, where it is essential to prepare food products safely for storage and distribution to market. With IoT devices and agriculture automation, immense amounts of data can be collected quickly and accurately. The rapid analysis of this real-time data can then be used to make decisions faster, and to guide precise adjustments to operational processes. Additionally, data analytics can lead to the discovery of patterns and longer-term opportunities for fundamental optimization of these operational processes. When farmers have accessible, complete and accurate real-time data and analytics-driven insights, they can make informed decisions quickly on a broad level to drive improved outcomes in food production across every aspect of the agriculture ecosystem.
The opportunity to address the increasing demand for sustainable food production lies in integrating the silos of innovation across the agriculture value chain. The individual links in this chain include crop management, animal life cycle management, logistics and supply chain, processing facilities, environmental management, sustainability and more. At Hitachi, we call this the Internet of Living Things, an integrated ecosystem that uses digital technologies to implement smart farming systems reducing the overall cost of producing and delivering food to consumers while improving environmental sustainability and animal and worker well-being. Some smart farms now track and monitor livestock across geographically distributed operations using drones and sensors in combination with radio-frequency identification (RFID) tagging, Lidar and video cameras to keep track of the growth and health of the animals. That information could be integrated with other data, such as weather forecasts, feed and water consumption, and environmental conditions like temperature and humidity in the barns, to optimize animal health and growth. By integrating these systems, farms can ensure animal health, for example, by adjusting the operating parameters for equipment such as fans and ventilation controls.
A farm could also integrate and analyze data from weather predictions, animal growth and eating patterns to deliver predictive guidance for selecting the appropriate feed recipes. This can ensure that the farm is meeting the nutritional needs of its animals while at the same time reducing waste and improving efficiency. This approach would optimize resource utilization, environmental impact, waste management and supply chain efficiency. Over time, these analytics can drive cost-effective commodity procurement processes and improvements across the entire supply chain. The benefits of the connected value chain include better planning, scheduling and capacity management. In the U.S., farmers are less than 1% of the country’s population, and the agricultural industry is experiencing ongoing labor shortages.5 Technology will help fill that gap. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are providing increasingly sophisticated analytics that supports faster and better-informed decision-making. The Internet of Living Things helps farmers solve challenges such as:
At Hitachi, we work with our agriculture customers, blending solutions from our own portfolio and the broader technology ecosystem to drive the Internet of Living Things. As a trusted advisor to our customers and governments around the world, we anchor an ecosystem of innovative partners across the value chain to create and connect the technologies that improve food security and environmental sustainability. Through the Internet of Living Things, we can bring these solutions together in an integrated ecosystem that creates interconnected, sustainable, efficient and profitable agriculture systems. Smart agriculture is more than just farms or animals or food processing facilities. This is an initiative Hitachi is driving in support of our commitment to powering good in the world.
Across the globe, Hitachi is developing solutions and working with companies to use digital technologies in the agricultural industry to address the challenges of individual farms in a way that will benefit all of society. Here are a couple of examples. Meat & Livestock Australia. Australia is a leading exporter of beef, sheep, lamb and goat meat. Factors that impact one participant in Australia’s agriculture sector, such as severe weather or current market prices, can easily impact all participants. Hitachi is helping Australia’s meat industry transform its value chain through an integrated IoT digital strategy based on data-driven, cross-industry decisions.6 Our solution captures data at the micro level that can be rolled up to the macro level to create an integrated view of the industry as a whole and drive best practices that benefit every farmer through greater efficiency, productivity and quality. Maple Leaf Foods. Canada’s largest provider of prepared meats and poultry is Maple Leaf Foods. As the first major carbon-neutral food company in the world,7 Maple Leaf Foods is committed to both environmental sustainability and to creating efficient operations that maximize food production. Hitachi is helping Maple Leaf Foods meet these goals with myriad integrated digital technologies that deliver crucial insights for driving the best decision-making regarding every aspect of operations. Farming is a complex landscape with many stakeholders. Though there are exciting new possibilities for integrating digital technology into agriculture that will benefit both the individual farm and society, it will require careful planning. At Hitachi, we focus on co-creating best-of-breed solutions with our customers that meet their needs and those of everyone on the planet. In this way, we can help the agricultural industry achieve its goal of driving food security through supply chain integration ― and help put enough nourishing food on everyone’s table.

The framing and academia representatives participated in this group which is run under EIP-AGRI. The representatives were charged with generating an alternative sources and strategies for feeds for poultry and feeds, including both underused and new ones.
According to Lars Henrik Heckmann, the head of section, insect and protein technology at Danish Technological Institute, in terms of the algae, the group has not highlighted a species but have narrowed down to microalgae from accessing both micro and macro algae. Meanwhile, in relation to the insects, the group was very specific about species.
The feed ingredient that has been focused by the group have various advantages and disadvantages, which depends on the development stage. The proposal by focus groups on feed is likely to be taken to the operational groups that are operated regionally across Europe and funded by the Rural Development Program. Meanwhile, in terms of the production of these new feed components, there is a need to close the knowledge gap between academia and industry groups in order to ensure progress.
The lack of data on the nutritional requirement of Black Soldier Fly was described as one of the research gaps by some of the stakeholders. There is no nutritional norm for BSF, as there are for poultry and pigs. Hence, it is important to know what micronutrients, and amino acid requirements are of the Black Soldier fly. Moreover, according to some stakeholders, reliable tools to provide quick identification of the nutrient value of the new feedstuffs is also needed. Both the groups in the context of identifying and predicting the nutritional value of the feed sample mentioned NIR technology that uses near infra-red light.
The group also found it necessary to conduct research to get an idea on the optimum inclusion level of the novel products in poultry and pig feeds and to qualify gamut of the nutritional effects provided by new feeds. Pricing is considered as an important part in the feed innovation. Thus feed materials with a high level of micronutrients or various health benefits are being priced at a higher level as compared to the feed materials rich in protein. However, the starting paper by EIP-AGRI highlighted that the feed material with high or moderate protein will have to be priced at the level of fishmeal or soybean meal price in order to gain a competitive advantage in the market.

Growing awareness among livestock business is driving the demand for animal feed micronutrients. Feed micronutrients are also being used on a large scale to ensure optimal growth of the animal and to obtain high quality products. In recent years, animal feed micronutrients market has witnessed increasing demand in aquaculture practices owing to the increasing global consumption of fish and seafood. The animal feed micronutrient market is projected to provide incremental opportunity of US$ 477 million by the end of 2026. Increasing initiatives by organizations in improving livestock farming and high production of the animal feed compound in Europe is driving the growth of animal feed micronutrients in the region. Moreover, ongoing research on the new feed micronutrients in the region is also contributing significantly to the growth of the animal feed production in Europe. | agronomy |

Increasing fragmented holdings by farmers across India provide only a limited space for technology usage. In light of this, the advantage of using a power tiller compared to a tractor are many. A major reason behind the problems faced by the Indian agriculture sector like low yields and unscientific farming is the small and fragmented landholdings which makes use of technology expensive and not very beneficial for small and marginal farmers. CSIR-CMERI developed electrical motor operated e-Power Tiller has been designed for the purpose of performing ploughing and rotavating applications. Power tillers are primarily used for rotary, puddler, leveller, trailer, plow disc, cultivation, sowing, weeding and tillage etc. A power tiller is a two wheeled agriculture implement fitted with rotary tillers which gives a smooth resistance to farm activities.

But in Africa, digitalisation is on the cusp of sparking a far more important revolution.
Across a continent where 80% of food is produced by smallholder farmers, digital technologies and innovations are a game changer in transforming African agriculture.
Digital services that provide targeted advice, including weather information on mobile phones or link farmers to markets, are helping smallholders feed a growing population in the face of a changing climate while also attracting more young entrepreneurs to agriculture.
A new report, which surveyed the market in Africa for the first time, found more than 33 million smallholder farmers were already registered with agricultural-related digital tools and services.
And with annual growth of around 45% since 2012, digitalisation for agriculture (D4Ag) in Africa will likely reach all farmers on the continent by 2030 as more farmers adopt technology such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, drones and the Internet of Things.
Yet, digitalisation in African agriculture is still in its nascent, competitive stages.
As revealed in The Digitalisation of African Agriculture Report, a large number of players make up this young market, with at least 390 distinct digital ventures in operation across sub-Saharan Africa. Of this, only 15 companies have reached a million users or more, with the majority finding the most success in bundling multiple services together.
Moreover, investment in digitalisation for agriculture to date has been isolated, scattered and piecemeal, with efforts to scale-up being unnecessarily duplicated, causing inefficiencies and hampering large-scale, long-term growth.
There is enormous potential for digitalisation to help achieve food security, nutrition and resilience to climate change in Africa.
Initial figures suggest that farmers can increase their yields by up to 70% with support from digital tools that provide agronomic advice while others have seen their incomes improve by 20 to 40% by better linking them to markets to sell their produce or buy agricultural inputs.
But this potential will not be fulfilled by chance. At such a defining moment for this burgeoning market, we will only realise the true benefit of digitalisation in African agriculture with strong, coordinated leadership.
This is why there is a need for those of us working for Africa’s development to collaborate and support the sector as it grows, and set the long-term agenda for the imminent digital transformation.
Digitalisation for agriculture in Africa needs an alliance of governments, donors, farmers, agribusiness and international bodies partnering with big tech to support organisations on the ground that are well positioned to design products that directly serve the needs of farmers.
This would provide a set of best practices to help the broader sector understand what works and what does not, becoming the “go-to-place” for expertise across the continent. This would include gathering evidence of their impact to help direct investment priorities.
It would also support the shared goal of increasing awareness of digitalisation for agriculture and digital literacy among smallholder farmers to increase the pace of uptake and adoption of these solutions.
And, finally, it would also tackle industry-wide issues and risks associated with the rise of proprietary technology.
From trust and privacy to accessibility, a collaborative approach from all interested parties would not only protect users and ensure fairness and transparency, but ensure that technology is a force for good in Africa.
They say data is the new oil, which may be true in some parts of the world. But in Africa, we must work hard to ensure that data is the cleaner fuel for a more sustainable transformation, keeping the continent on track to meet its food and nutrition demands in this century and beyond.
All the indicators point to a market that is ripe for investment now. And as long as we learn from the past, manage risks and take into account data sovereignty, inclusivity, sustainability, then we can all benefit.

Coconut is the large hard fruit of the coconut palm tree, brown in
color, which has husk like fiber surrounding a large seed. The
fruit is known by the name of Cocos nucifera botanically. Unlike
the name suggests, coconut is actually a fibrous drupe and not a
nut. The inner seed has coconut meat inside it that is consumed as
an important ingredient in various cuisines of the world. The
fluid in the seed is drunk throughout the world as it is
considered to be a healthy drink. As a matter of fact, coconut is
the largest seed known.
The coconut palm tree belongs to the palm family of Arecaceae
and is the only tree under the genus Cocos. The tree grows to a
height of around 30 meters and has feather shaped leaves. The
coconut palm is multipurpose tree like many other palm trees as
every part of the tree is used in vast number of products.
Coconut is the one of the fruits that has a high economic value.
This is because of the fact that the fruit as well as the tree,
both have a numerous uses. Several other products are derived from
the coconut palm and they too are used in many applications. Copra
is used to extract coconut oil and coconut meal in the ratio 3:2.
The products like hair oils, soaps, shampoos and medicines require
coconut oil as an important ingredient. Also the fruit is quite
popular in a vast number of cuisines. It is so much attached to
the emotions of the people in the Southeast Asia that it forms a
part of the mythology and culture in here and is also considered
auspicious in various ceremonies. That is the reason that coconut
tree is ranked among one of the 10 most useful trees of the world
and is often termed as the “tree of life”.
The world production of coconut currently is around 55
million tons, Indonesia having the highest production figures
accounting up to around 30% in world figures. The nut is
cultivated on around 26 million acres of land throughout the world
in more than 90 countries of the world. The production of coconuts
has increased significantly during the last decade with the
increase in the world demand. The world consumption figure in
context of coconut oil is around 3.8 million tons.
World trade in coconut complex is limited as
most of the produce is consumed at the place of its production.
The countries that have demand supply mismatch usually indulge in
the trade of the fruit. The exports of coconuts fluctuates
depending upon these factors and hovers around 1800000 tons per
year. The major exporters of coconut complex to the rest of the
Coconut has a long and varied history due
to a fact that coconuts can float on water. This
fact helped these fruits to disperse easily and
spread throughout the world. The exact origin of
coconut is subject to controversy, as some
historians believe that the coconut palm came
into existence in regions of Southeast Asia and
some believe that it originated in the southern
American region. The oldest fossils of coconut
had been recovered from Indian states of
Rajasthan and Maharashtra and some other fossils
from New Zealand dating back to around 15
million years ago. With the help of oceans and
humans who knew their value early on, like the
Polynesians who are considered to have played a
great role in human dispersion of the fruit,
coconut got spread in the tropical regions of
the world. The seeds of the fruit are able to
germinate even after being in water for 3 to 4
months and that was the reason that it got
spread much before it was domesticated.
Coconut became popular throughout the world and at some
areas it was the only source of food and water.
In Southeast Asia, it became a part of life and
culture and also gained significance in their
mythology. Indian writings as old as more than
2000 years include information about coconut.
With time, more and more uses of coconut palm
and their fruits were developed. In the end, the
coconut was brought to the western African and
the Caribbean region by the European intruders
in the 16th century.
Coconut palm is a tropical plantation that
requires hot and humid climate to prosper. It is
very good tolerant of salinity in the water and
soil and that is why it is generally found in
the coastal areas. The soil type that is
appropriate for the production of the coconut
palm is the sandy soil type. Also, consistent
rainfall and ample sunlight are also the key
factors for the effective growth of the coconut
palm. The creation of plantation is considered
to be difficult to establish and the propagation
of the trees is done with the help of its seeds.
The palm takes a long time to get mature i.e.
the flowers of the tree may appear within two to
seven years of the germination.
After 8 years, the tree starts to produce the fruits
and it is harvested according to the purpose for
which it is has to be used. If the nut is needed
for its water, it is allowed to ripen for just 5
to 6 months and then it is harvested. If copra
is required from the coconut, 8 to 10 months old
fruits are harvested. For the dry copra, the
coconut is allowed to ripen fully for 10-12
months and then harvested. The fruits are
harvested in bunches manually by the tree
climbers. Also the mature fruits that fall off
from the trees are also gathered.
Coconut fruit is categorized into two basic
categories according to their palms trees
Tall variety – Tall
variety of coconut is a slow growing variety.
The tree produces the fruit 6 to 10 years after
plantation, which is comparatively late as
compared to the other variety. The tree remains
productive even at the age of 80 to 120 years
and produces good quality of copra, oil and
other products. The fruits of the palm get
mature in 12 months duration.
Dwarf variety - The fruits
from the dwarf or short variety of trees are
fast growing variety i.e. the tree starts to
produce fruits in 4 to 5 years. This coconut
palm has a relatively short productive age. The
fruit may be of variable colors such as yellow,
red, green and orange.
Coconut is a popular plantation and is grown in
more than 90 countries of the world. Though, it is
quite hard to establish a coconut plantation but
once it is done, it proves to be quite beneficial
as the coconuts are harvested throughout the year.
The world production of coconut sums up to around
55 million tons annually. Indonesia and
Philippines are the major countries that produce
the maximum coconut fruits in the world. The
leading producers of the crop in the year 2005
with their production figures are mentioned in the
- Indonesia (16300000 metric tons)
- Philippines (14500000 metric tons)
- India (9500000 metric tons)
- Brazil (3033830 metric tons)
- Sri Lanka (1950000 metric tons)
- Thailand (1500000 metric tons)
- Mexico (959000 metric tons)
- Vietnam (940000 metric tons)
- Malaysia (710000 metric tons)
- Papua New Guinea (650000 metric tons)
The top most two countries
are serious competitors for the first position in
the list. But since last few years the production
in Philippines is decreasing gradually. The area
covered under the cultivation of coconut in the
world is around 26 million acres. The overall
production rate is in up trend since the last
decade as the production has risen around 25%. The
production level in context of coconut oil hovers
around 3.5 million tons per year and in context of
coconut oil cake is around 2 million tons.
coconut in India
Coconut has been a part of
the Indian culture and has been produced in India
since a very long time. Currently India stands
third in the list of the maximum coconut producing
countries of the world. The coconut produce in
India was. 14811.1 million
nuts in the year 2006. The area under the
plantation cultivation sums up to around 1.78
million hectares in the country. The states in
India that are indulging in the production of this
fruit with their annual average production figures
Kerala (6326 million
Tamil Nadu (4867.1
Karnataka (1209.8 million
Andhra Pradesh (892
West Bengal (323.5
Orissa (274.6 million
Assam (204.9 million
Kerala is the largest
producer of coconuts in India contributing to
around 45% share in the country’s produce.
Coconut oil is obtained from the copra with 65 to
70% recovery rate. Regarding the area covered
under the production of coconut, Kerala again
stands first among the other major states
indulging in the production.
Coconut has the Indian link since a long time in
history. The southern part of the country literally
thrives on coconut, it being a staple food there. It
also forms part of the Indian culture and also has
importance in numerous old rituals. India had been a
competent producer of coconuts in the world and
currently places on 3rd rank in the list of the major
coconut producers of the world. India produces 95
lakhs of coconut annually, Kerala being the largest
producing state. In the context of coconut
productivity, Maharashtra leaves all its competitors
behind with a rate of 914548 nuts per hectare.
The consumption of coconut is dominated by the food
sector and a significant part is also utilized in
obtaining coconut oil. The oil is further used in
industrial applications like hair oils, soaps,
shampoos etc. this demand in the country is much
higher than the current production which turns one of
the major coconut producing country into a net coconut
importer country. India imports the coconut in oil
form annually at over 150000 tons. The country also
exports small quantities of coconuts but it depends
upon the domestic yield.

Feeding protein patties in the spring will ensure colony health, good build-up of brood and produce large honey crops.
Patties ensure a balanced diet when bees are unable to forage due to weather, when there is a shortage of stored pollen, in monoculture areas where only a few pollen sources are to be found, are subject to competition from stronger hives in the yard or stressed by weather, pesticides, mites and diseases.
In the Spring, we recommend 15% for a faster build-up so that the hive is strong and ready for the honey flow. However, if you start feeding early then 4% would be sufficient for a steady-build up until natural pollen is available.
In the Fall, 4% patties is a sufficient amount of pollen to have a steady consumption rate to build up strong winter bees. | agronomy |

The snow is melting, not accumulating, which is a mixed blessing here in March. Snow lasts longer than liquid water, seeping into the soil instead of running off the surface. But any moisture is welcome after four weeks of hot, dry winds that have dried the soil surface to dust and evaporated the snowpack on the peaks - our summer water - like a blow torch.
The green and crinkly leaves of spinach in my kitchen garden are now dotted with white clumps of snow. The new leaves on the golden currant shrubs along Ditch Creek just below our yard, the first trace of spring green in the wild except for big sagebrush, which keeps its gray-green and pungent leaves all winter long, stand out brilliantly against the rain-darkened stems. I haven't been outside to look, but I bet that the mosses and lichens that dot the surface of the soil in our restored bunchgrass and wildflower grassland are plumping up and turning green. They respond within minutes to even the smallest amounts of water, "waking up" from dormancy to make food and go about their lives in the brief periods of moisture that infrequently grace this arid environment.
It's spring in the house too. The seed trays that I planted last weekend with six kinds of tomatoes, four kinds of basil, oriental eggplants, and baby butterhead lettuces (thank you Rene Shepherd of Rene's Garden Seeds!) are dotted with tiny green sprouts. The flat with the tomato and eggplant seeds sits on a heat mat, and that extra bit of gentle warmth 24/7 means that the seeds began sprouting just four days after I planted them, and will grow larger, sturdier root systems, a distinct advantage when I put them out in the garden and they have to deal with spring weather here at 7,000 feet elevation in the south-central Rockies: hot days, nights below freezing until at least mid-May, and those blow-torch-like chinook winds. Spring here is not the least-lamb-like, but it's always interesting! | agronomy |

- Basically, the goal is to create a geospatial map that farmers can use to better monitor crop yields and productivity.

Drones, robots, and now satellites.
John Deere CTO Jamie Hindman told CNBC that the world's largest farm equipment manufacturer is finalizing its search for a satellite partner.
“We are really focused on solving communication problems on a global scale. We look at the new efforts being made on satellites in low Earth orbit as an example – potentially – of solving some of these communication problems."
The goal is to create a geospatial map that farmers can use to better track productivity and yields.
“There is a lot of disorganization and moving this data from the field to the cloud, you can do something useful with it that is not used very effectively.” As for when satellites will be used, Hindman said Deere is "on the verge" of solving farmers' communications problems.
Currently, farmers can use the information collected by the See & Spray device to understand how much of the field still needs to be fertilized. It's one of the technologies showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Thursday.
Although the global economy is slowing down, the agricultural market is still hot. Crop prices, while volatile, are still double-digit percentage points higher than they were three years ago. Rising prices for crops, including wheat and corn, have boosted farmers' incomes. In fact, Dr. Davidson cited USDA data that showed a 32 percent increase in corn revenue in 2022 compared to last year. Cash flow is expected to be higher in 2023, DA Davidson Senior Analyst Michael Schlisky wrote in a note to clients. An added bonus: Fertilizer and chemical prices have fallen in recent months, boosting farmers' prospects this year.
With more money in the bank, farmers should continue to spend on farm equipment, but John Deere remains the leader.
Derr shares are up 20% in 2022, well ahead of the XLI Industries ETF, which is down 7%. Gabelli Fund is a long-term investor in the agricultural equipment manufacturer and is optimistic.
“We expect the stock to perform well as the year should be good for the sector. Limited supply increases the price of used items and extends the cycle. At the same time, the company continues to offer technologies that make farmers more productive than the machines used in each of the previous editions,” Brian Sponheimer, Gabelli Fund portfolio manager, told CNBC.
Supply chain issues continue to plague Deere and the industry as a whole, but Hindman is betting that a reopening in China will ease some of the problems in 2023.
“In addition to being a major consumer of agricultural products, they are also one of the world's largest producers of what we all need to fill our supply chains. China in 2010 We hope to open in 2023. The supply chain is starting to normalize and stabilize. Not much,” Hindman said.
Big joke: The ongoing war in Ukraine has caused a sharp rise in agricultural prices. According to Méliès Research, grain prices rose 40% in the six months after the war and are now 20% above pre-war levels.
“The war has definitely increased crop price uncertainty,” Rob Wertheimer, founding partner of Melius Research, told CNBC. | agronomy |

Mostly the fields are mixed, so that different types of plants standing next to each other.
Often the fields, which are used for the agriculture projects are church land and the group can use the area for free, or for small charges. The fields are divided among the members, so that every member is responsible for one part. The ones, who are not working on the field, support the Project by giving money. Primary the food which they get from the work goes to the members, the remains are sold on the market and the earned money goes into the group found.
The biggest challenge are the, especially in the last years, changing climate conditions, e.g. long droughts. Also when it rains, it can rain very heavily and for a long time which can destroy the fields. Another Problem is a lack of expertise. | agronomy |

The term SAFARI means expedition, journey or voyage. PRIDE represents the joy of selecting only the best coffees from throughout Africa.
Safari Pride Coffee was founded on the premise of providing a better price for the coffee to those growing the coffee by simplifying the supply chain from the Growers in Africa to the end consumers. Our founder, Samuel Ngwa is an immigrant from the NW region of Cameroon in Western Africa where his family has cultivated coffee for generations. As a child, he helped to hand-pick ripe coffee cherries which were then processed and prepared to be sold to the Bamenda Area Cooperative Union Ltd. The earnings from this work helped pay for the family's needs, including fees for school.
Our mission is to bring delightfully tasting African coffees to the world while connecting the hands that harvest the coffee with the community that consumes it. Our work involves traveling the continent of Africa and collaborating with reputable partners to source single origin coffees with exceptional quality and ethically sustainable farming practices. | agronomy |

The Challenge with Phosphorus
Phosphorus is the foundation for maintaining high quality yields in all soils. It's also very complex. When soil doesn't have the right pH level, phosphorus can become less accessible to plant roots, resulting in lower utilization and lower yields.
MicroEssentials creates a more acidic environment within each granule. By lowering the pH, phosphorus converts to a form that is more available to the plant, providing increased uptake.
See the proof
MicroEssentials consistently outperforms MAP and DAP in phosphorus uptake per plant, resulting in higher yields and an improved ROI.View MicroEssentials Vs:
The Challenge With Sulfur
With traditional blended fertilizers, the particle size in sulfur granules is larger and more difficult to break down, making it less readily available to the plant.
The Challenge With Zinc
Zinc is a critical micronutrient, but needed in very small amounts. With blended fertilizers it's difficult to distribute properly without overapplying or ending up with uneven or inefficient application, resulting in plants getting too much or too little zinc, not to mention, costing you extra money.
MicroEssentials SZ integrates the optimum amount of zinc in each granule, providing even distribution, every time. This allows Zinc to reach the roots system of every plant.

Estimates suggest that we’ll consume 50% more energy by 2050 than we do today. The combustion of fossil fuels constitutes nearly a third of this increase. As a major contributor to greenhouse gases, this growing demand for energy is changing our climate in unpredictable and dangerous ways.
Progress has been made in the transition to renewable energy, such as with solar and wind power. But these can’t address the high-energy density requirements for heavy transportation, such as aviation, commercial trucking, rail, and marine shipping. Liquid fuels will remain the predominant energy source for these industries for the foreseeable future.
With no viable solution for decarbonizing these industries, finding a sustainable path forward is critical to meeting climate-change mitigation goals. The dilemma is how to slow and ultimately halt rising atmospheric temperatures and air pollution while at the same time meeting the energy needs of a growing global population.
We believe that high-energy density algae biofuel for heavy transportation is part of the answer. By establishing this non-resource intensive, breakthrough solution deployed at a global scale, we can recalibrate heavy transportation toward a more sustainable future and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 70%.
We are developing an advanced algal strain and agronomic platform to produce algal biofuels for deploying at scale. By capitalizing on well-established regulatory programs that incentivize adoption, such as the RFS and LCFS in the US, and the Renewable Energy Directive in Europe, we can make the adoption of algal biofuels more attractive and establish a more level playing field.
Most gasoline sold in the US today contains some level of first-generation biofuel (ethanol from corn or biodiesel from soy). But yield improvements and productivity gains of these terrestrial crops are plateauing. And as energy demands increase, food security and resource constraints (land and water) pose significant challenges for continued production of first-generation biofuels.
This is where the advantages of microalgae kick in. Microalgae are excellent at converting CO2 and sunlight into oil-rich biomass, especially when compared to land-based crop plants like oil palm and soy. By adapting microalgae to function as cell factories producing energy-dense oils that can easily be refined into renewable diesel and jet fuel, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70%.
We utilize sunlight and atmospheric CO2 to grow the algae for oil as a replacement for burning fossil fuels (which release new carbon previously stored underground). Additionally, by farming in saltwater on marginal land, we avoid competing with resources required for food production, such as arable farmland and freshwater. We estimate that at commercialization, the productivity of engineered microalgae will be 20x times greater than any existing terrestrial crop. This dramatic advantage underpins the scalability of our technology.
The road to developing algae into fuel has been challenging and many initial efforts struggled to demonstrate the feasibility of scaling. The two fundamental issues that have been holding the field back are oil productivity and scalability.
1. Oil Productivity. To account for economic cost to build algae farms, the algae deployed have to be extremely productive. We need as much oil output for a given surface area as possible.
2. Scalability. Productivity improvements start in the lab. But having highly productive lab strains doesn’t matter if they cannot be grown outdoors under the harsh conditions of desert environments with high temperature fluctuations, storms, and environmental factors that can severely impair crop yields.
At Viridos, we have been systematically addressing both issues and achieved many breakthroughs along the way. With the help of ExxonMobil, we conducted an extensive basic algae biology research program that allowed us to understand the genomics, metabolism, and regulation of algal physiology that is fundamental to designing the high performing strains needed to reach commercial scale.
One breakthrough was our discovery in 2015 of the gene that is a lipid switch, subsequently published in 2017 in Nature Biotechnology, allowing us to modify microalgae to grow both biomass and enriching the oil content of the algae – something never achieved before. That laid the foundation: producing high oil yield algae.
Subsequently, we realized that this breakthrough alone is not sufficient. We need to incorporate multiple traits of interest that add stepwise improvements. This led us to develop our genome editing and marker recycling technologies, which allow us to add traits of interest in microaglae without limitation, published in PNAS in 2018
With these technologies in hand, and as we learn more about the microalgae we work with, we have been able to drive oil productivities to new highs year after year. Our breakthroughs have paved the way to achieve a promising trajectory of productivity improvements we believe will not stop anytime soon.
With improvements in our oil productivity, the next step was taking the algae out of the lab to face the harsh conditions of the real world and address the scalability challenge. Many earlier outdoor algae farming efforts, including our own, were besieged by failure. Unpredictable environmental conditions and predation of outside organisms led to decimation of algae cultures and have been the bane of many algae farming efforts. We recognized those barriers and therefore screened thousands of microalgae from our collection to find a naturally occurring robust microalgae that had no impact on the environment. Using this robust natural strain as a foundation, we engineered traits of interest into it and tested multiple improved versions at our California Advanced Algae Facility (CAAF) over the years – with remarkable success.
We have extensively validated the algae strains of interest at CAAF with our comprehensive sensor network, data analysis, and scaled down systems, and have demonstrated impressive productivity increases. In our open ponds, we have achieved 7 times the oil productivity compared to where we started, these accomplishments give us a lot of excitement for future progress and lay the foundation for scalability.
Viridos’ vision is to provide scalable algae biofuels through higher algae oil productivity and advanced agronomy. As we move closer to commercialization, we are developing the systems and processes that will enable us and our partners to deploy farms thousands of acres in size. This will be the tipping point at which algae biofuel becomes an essential, scalable, and cost-competitive tool to mitigate climate change.
Over the last five years we have grown our top producing algal strains at our California Advanced Algal Facility (CAAF). The environmental conditions of CAAF allows for a realistic outdoor testbed/pilot facility that tests the limits of our strains and operational processes. Testing strains at CAAF enabled the following critical achievements and insights that now drive our progress forward.
We are now applying the lessons learned from CAAF to guide our research teams in their development of next generation strains and technology to increase algal bio-oil productivity. Using our state of the art algal engineering, bioinformatics and system biology tools we continue to iterate on our top producing algal strains by stacking new traits and modifying key metabolic pathways. The data collected from SNAP drives our pond simulator capability, which allows us to mimic CAAF systems and operations and evaluate a strain’s outdoor cultivation potential more efficiently. Our fleet of pond simulators yield enough biomass to allows us to work on down-stream refine processes.
Viridos’ algal biofuel delivers a 70% reduction in GHG emissions over the fossil fuels it displaces. And sourcing renewable energy for the operations lowers the carbon footprint of algal biofuels even further.
Viridos’ algal strains are grown in salt water, minimizing the need for freshwater. Avoiding competition for valuable freshwater resources reinforces the sustainability of the algal biofuel production process.
Arable land in warm climates with adequate water supply is increasingly scarce. Viridos’ deployment partners will farm microalgae without the use of freshwater in locations preserving valuable land for food and feed production, reinforcing global food security.
When Direct Air Capture (DAC) becomes available, it could be used synergistically with Viridos microalgae farming. This may even enhance the adoption of DAC, since Viridos microalgae can thrive on less enriched CO2 than typically required for efficient carbon sequestration, thus making DAC more economically viable when coupled with Viridos algae biofuel production.
Our algae are natural strains that we precisely genetically engineer to enhance biomass and lipid productivity. We use cutting-edge science to select and develop the strains and then carefully monitor how they fit in the natural ecosystem, ensuring ecological harmony. The algae are grown in contained aquaculture and efficiently utilize the nutrients provided. This minimizes nutrient run-off into the environment and prevents eutrophication . With advance sensor technology and data processing we can use safe proactive pest management strategies to achieve a more favorable environmental footprint compared to conventional farming.
The CO2 algae thrive on can come from a wide range of sources, including industrial polluters that have few options to reduce or eliminate CO2 emissions. This creates a CO2 recycling opportunity for emissions from gas processing facilities, cement factories, refiners, power generators, and other heavy industry as we can convert their waste CO2 into valuable algae oil while lowering overall GHG emissions
The acreage required for growing microalgae is less than a tenth of that needed for other crops used for biofuels, such as corn, palm, and soy, making the scalability of producing biofuel more viable.
By creating a "drop-in" algal biofuel that can be blended with or used instead of fossil fuel, we can achieve rapid adoption while dramatically reducing carbon emissions. End users can switch to a low-carbon fuel without having to replace their equipment.
Crude oil is a complicated mixture of hydrocarbons with varying composition, heavy metal, and impurities that require extensive refining. Our microalgae produce clean plant oils that can be easily converted to fuel without extensive processing and clean-up.
Heavy transportation requires diesel or jet fuel which is only a small fraction of the composition of crude oil. Our algae oil is predominantly comprised of carbon chain lengths that can be converted with minimal undesirable refining byproducts into the desired drop-in jet or diesel fuel.
In addition to oils, farming microalgae also produces protein and carbohydrate co-products. Capturing and converting these valuable outputs enables us to minimize waste, seed other sustainable business opportunities, and generate additional revenue. | agronomy |

According to The Irrigation Association, smart irrigation involves the use of landscape irrigation controllers and devices that reduce water use and save money by monitoring and using real-time information about the site conditions as a basis for irrigation scheduling. This technology has been used in agriculture, on golf courses and parks for decades but has only recently become available and affordable for landscape irrigation.
Types of Systems
Weather-based systems use the daily loss of water from evaporation from soil and transpiration from plants to schedule watering. Smart controllers use data from sources such as the California Irrigation Management Information Systems and from weather station networks to apply just the amount of water needed to replenish what is lost to nature. Key factors include air temperature, humidity, wind speed, and soil and foliage density.
Soil-moisture-based systems measure the moisture level in the soil using sensors buried in the root zone of turf, trees or shrubs and transmit the readings to the controller. The owner sets the “moisture threshold” like a thermostat and the controller maintains it.
Suspended-cycle systems are set like traditional timer controllers, with watering schedules, start times and durations, and will only permit the scheduled watering if its readings show that the soil needs water. If the moisture level is at or above the moisture threshold, the controller will suspend the watering program until the moisture level falls below the threshold.
Water-on-demand systems are the most efficient irrigation method and require no programming of irrigation duration, only start times and days to water. Using a smartphone or touchpad, homeowners can set the lower and upper thresholds for watering, and the system maintains the soil moisture level in a constant range.
There is more to an effective water-saving solution than having a good smart controller. Other critical factors include using the most efficient and pressure-sensitive spray heads, rotors or other emitter devices and running specific cycles to prevent runoff and allow deep soaking with longer irrigation intervals for well-established, drought-resistant plants. Rainwater and graywater reclamation systems are also at the forefront of smart irrigation technology.
Since irrigation can be complicated and involve plumbing, electrical and automation systems, both indoors and outdoors, builders will find the greatest success and customer satisfaction by partnering with a reputable irrigation or sprinkler system contractor in their local area.

With the “digitization” of farming and agriculture sure to be a major part of this trend the complexity and volume of hardware and software data is sure to see a exponential growth. Growers, service providers, hardware manufacturers and facility/farm operators are going to be in need to tools to combine this data to help analyze and operate their farms, enter Leaf Agriculture.
Leaf Agricultures’ API helps provide data infrastructure for disparate AgTech systems and then allows service providers and operators to pull in that data from a single set of APIs that their systems can call to pull in machine, field and imagery data to be combined to help run their farm. As indoor, connected and tech-enabled farming continues to grow, the back-office task of managing the data that all the systems produce would become a bottle neck from most of these farm and growing facility operators.
Leaf Agricultures platform could also become for a tremendous resource for emerging AgTech startups that are looking to build products and services that need to integrate with existing hardware and software to help provide new generations of tools. Their platform could save time and money for these emerging companies as they bring their product/service to market.
Given the need for future innovation in farming/growing to meet our global food demands I am extremely bullish on Leaf Agriculture’s future. Having recently raised a $2M seed round from Cultivian Sandbox Ventures, SP Ventures and Radical Growth, the Leaf Agriculture team is poised to continue to expand the platforms capabilities and supported data sources. The impact of their work will be exciting to follow. | agronomy |

Abbott Farms CSA program is a 18 week membership share. Our season begins mid June and goes through the end of October, weather permitting. Click here for some recipes made from our crops!
Abbott Farms 2022 CSA- Guidelines & Contract
Please be sure to read through our guidelines very carefully before submitting your application.
The Abbott Family Farm has been producing quality produce for 5 generations. What started as a dairy farm back in the 1800’s is now a full service U-pick farm offering families a fresh, nutritional variety of fruits and vegetables harvested weekly at their peak. We pack the produce into boxes for every member and have them ready for pick up on appointed days and times. Our harvest season runs 18 weeks from June through October.
CSA is a partnership between the members and the farmers. At the core of CSA is the idea that members support their farmer by sharing in the inherent risks of agriculture (poor weather, drought, disease, early frost, crop failure, and so on) and rewards (the bounty from a good season!). Therefore while Abbott Farms will act in good faith to provide fresh produce for the 18 weeks, there is a no guarantee of quantities or contents of weekly shares.
Stay Informed! The single most important responsibility of all members is to educate themselves about the working of the CSA program by thoroughly reading through the website and reading the weekly Abbott Farms newsletter sent by email and posted on our Facebook page. You will find a harvest schedule, tips on storage and care of produce, and much more information about how to get the best use of your share.
Pick Up Your Share
As a CSA member you must pick up your share on your chosen pick up day and time at your chosen location. To ensure the freshest produce we will only harvest prior to your designated pick up day. Please choose from one of our two available pick up days and locations. If you are unable to pick up that day you may designate an alternate to pick up your share that week. Please just email or call us with their name. Our goal is to have you enjoy your share each week; we will work with you if you give us enough advance notice. If you do not pick up your share and do not designate an alternate to do so for you, you then forfeit your share that week and it will be donated to the local food bank. There is no refund for unclaimed shares.
Pick up days are: Tuesday or Wednesday 3-7pm We can not accommodate a Saturday or Sunday pick up between August 25th and October 31st

Simple Composting at Home
Bokashi Organko is a sophisticated and practical composter for organic waste disposal which eliminates inconveniences with collecting organic waste. Waste decay is the most frequent reason for unpleasant odor. The use of bran with beneficial micro-organisms ensures the fermentation process occurs properly and thus prevents decay. As a result, fermented organic waste is an excellent basis for first-rate compost.
Without Unpleasant Odour
Bokashi Organko has an airtight container that prevents the inflow of the air. This and the use of the bran with effective microorganisms that we put on the bio-waste we ensure that during the whole process the food does not rot, but ferment. During the whole fermentation process, there is no unpleasant odor of rotting even when opening the container.
Effective Bran and Tap
Bokashi bran consists of bran meal, molasses, and useful micro-organisms. The presence of natural micro-organisms in the Bokashi bran initiates the fermentation process and prevents decay. Fermentation liquid produced in the process can be used as an excellent fertilizer for plants or as a natural drain cleaner.

We are located in the Huon Valley, Tasmania – one of the most pure and untouched places on earth.
The air in Cape Grim, in north-west Tasmania, has been measured and is officially recognised as the cleanest air in the world. With prevailing winds being westerly, our air is similar and travels over one of the largest expanses of virgin forest wilderness in Australia before reaching the valley.
The valley collects on average 700mm of rain each year. When required, additional water is available to our orchard from the plentiful Mountain River flowing from the Sleeping Beauty mountain range.
30 mins from Hobart in the Huon Valley
Situated on 115 acres, our farm is 30 minutes south of Hobart in the Huon Valley, a once thriving apple-growing region that exported apples all over the globe and earned Tasmania the title of the ‘Apple Isle’.
Our farm went organic in 1997, thanks to the innovation of current orchardist, Andrew Smith. It was a bold move, transforming the orchard to organic, and involved a lot of new techniques and training to achieve. With a new focus on organic farming and the use of the apples in our cider, we hope to bring back the glory of the ‘Apple Isle’ days once more
Ian and Andrew share their journey farming in the Huon Valley
With a new focus on organic farming and the use of apples in our cider, we hope to bring back the glory of the 'Apple Isle' days once more.
We choose organic because we believe that making things the traditional way, with more care and less of the artificial bad stuff, is better for you and better for Tassie.
A study conducted by the French Agency for Food Safety concluded that organic plant products:
- Contain more dry matter and are therefore more nutrient dense
have higher levels of minerals
- Contain more anti-oxidants, such as phenols and salicylic acid (known to protect against cancers, heart disease and many other health problems)
Most of all, organic produce just makes us feel good!
The Smith family know orchards like they know their apples. Through the thick and thin of the industry and a crisis or two. It’s a story of determination, spirit, and most of all; family.Read More

The members of Pullet Growers of Canada (PGC) are the provincial egg boards that represent the interest of pullet growers and egg farmers. Currently, three provincial egg boards are active members of PGC. They include:
WHAT ARE THE MEMBERS’ ADVANTAGES?
PGC’s members benefit from many advantages such as:
“Convinced of the importance to have an organization that takes care of the development and the structure of the pullet production at the national level in close collaboration with provincial egg boards, the Fédération des producteurs d’œufs du Québec is proud to support Pullet Growers of Canada (PGC). PGC’s actions enable pullet growers to assert their concerns, to build on several important issues and to have an effective communication channel between growers and their organization. As an essential link in the poultry industry, the pullet plays a front-line role in the production of quality eggs for consumers.”
“Egg Farmers of New Brunswick supports Pullet Growers of Canada because it fills a gap at the national level between the day-old chick and the 19-week layer. The egg industry benefits from having an organization that represents this integral part of our production chain and communicates directly with Egg Boards and Egg Farmers of Canada on issues of concern to pullet growers.”
HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER?
All provincial egg boards are welcome to be members of Pullet Growers of Canada. Membership is based on a financial contribution and the designation of a provincial representative on the Board of Directors. The financial contribution is based on the provincial quota allocation for the regulated sector for layers and excludes eggs for processing. The contribution rate is $0.0075 per layer.

Peas blossoms!
Frost 3 nights ago. 80 today. Yikes. Connecticut weather is nuts. Never thought I would see a last frost date this far into May.
So there is a good reason I have held off on tomato planting. I am only doing a few Roma plants this year anyway, but there is no benefit to planting tomatoes (or peppers) too early.
This weekend will be the right time. I will also getting corn planted and all the pepper transplants in. For now, lots of greens, beans coming up, peas climbing, romaine ready, carrots sprouting.
And one child hoeing!
Peas are among my favorite things to grow. They go in early, they have gorgeous flowers, they are delicious.
And they feed the soil! Peas and beans are nitrogen fixers and will pump your soil full of great stuff that your other plants need.
The thing is, it actually takes friendly rhizobium bacteria to make it happen. Pull some happy pea plants up and you’ll see white nodules on the roots. That’s the magic!
Hitting your peas with some inoculant will help them get a good start. The inoculant is safe bacteria tuned to your peas. Beans too.
When I am getting ready to plant my peas, I create a little inoculant slurry. It’s easy. Buy some pea inoculant, put some in a bowl, add your peas and some water. Let it soak in the thickish slurry. Done.
In some cold seasons, like this one in Connecticut, I will soak in the slurry and then lay the peas on a damp towel to sprout them before planting.
Here’s a shot of the peas in the slurry.
I am not a handy man. I can not fix things or make things. I do not understand cars. Or electrical things. Or tools. Or wood. I lack the vision to see how things should be structured to work or look good.
My neat little garden beds? Simple as can be, right? Well I had help. That’s right. I needed help to figure out how to make big rectangles.
So when I’m telling you that you can make a potato bed with big ol’ removeable slats for potato growing/harvesting, you need to dig on my simpleton bona fides.
Okay here it is.
- Build a big rectangle using 2 x 10 wood plank thingies. Mine is 12 feet long by 2 feet wide.
- Put some soil in that thing.
- Plant your taters.
- Now, take some railing spindles and drive a few on the inside of the bed up against each side. Drive a few more on the outside. These will be where you slide down additional wood planks to make the bed higher as the potatoes grow.
- Hill up your potatoes as normal. When they are big enough (in my picture they are too big… what can I tell you… I waited too long. It will still work.) drop in another 2 x 10 on all four sides. You just doubled the height of your bed.
- Hill up more soil.
- You’re done. Or you can keep on building higher. Whatever floats your boat.
- When it’s harvest time, you can either pull the big slat away or just dig down.
Gorgeous weather here in Connecticut and I was able to get every bed planted. Tomatoes are in. Peppers are in. And I built a little cucumber bed and trellis and got some picklers in.
Things are growing, but a bit slowly. Oddly I’m having some trouble getting spinach going. I’m guessing that there’s something a tad off in my new soil. I haven’t tested it, but it’s all new soil and compost and most of it is not of my own creation. We’ll see.
Here’s what we’re looking like.
Well holy cow! I didn’t put a single blog entry up last gardening season. It’s like I disappeared from April on.
Many people sent messages asking if all was well.
Yes all was well and is well. It was nice to hear from so many of you wondering if I was okay!
Why wasn’t I writing? I’m not sure. It wasn’t the best gardening year for me, but it wasn’t a total disaster. I had wonderful luck with beans and the garlic was the best ever.
Still, there was no question that my soil is very, very, very tired. You could practically feel it wheezing. To compensate heading into next year, I have made the most compost ever. For me anyway. I need to get that soil nutrified. (yes that is a word that I made up.)
My plans for next year are (for me) ambitious. I’d like to add some space for at least another row. I’d like to dig out a better and more permanent fence that will angle into the ground with chickenwire. The voles… must… be… kept out! I can’t stand my garden without carrots and potatoes.
For the extra row, I’d like to do more with my kids and devote some extra crops for our food bank. Seems like a good thing to do and a nice thing for my kids to participate in.
Otherwise… things are great!
I do have another blog going if you are interested. I’ve been working with a bunch of my lifelong friends on a comedy improv group we call The Sticks… since we’re way out in the sticks.
And I sure do tweet a lot on my personal account. If you’d like, you can get pretty regular updates from me here.
My goal this gardening season is to get some small hoops up over at least one of my garden beds. I’ve been reading about how to grow greens through the winter and it’s really about two warm and comfy layers – a warm row cover and a greenhouse. It’s simple enough to create a small hoop house covered in greenhouse plastic. Even I should be able to construct that!
And it’s equally easy to use row covers. You can see a couple of my garden sections covered with a light row cover in this picture. These row covers add some protection against the cold. It’s not a lot of protection (these are very light row covers) but it’s enough to protect against the cold nights for my lettuce and broccoli.
Using these light row covers at this time of year is a good idea – mostly because they keep out pests and blowing weed seeds. If you’re not using row covers, give it a shot. There’s nothing to it. They allow in water and sunlight and keep out the bad stuff!
We’ll see how it goes this winter when I build the layer system. But for now, the light row covers are helping my plants get a jump start.
Many of the people that I respect and follow in the gardening world make it clear that you should dig out your lawn completely and just plant vegetables. I wish that I could go there. I wish that I was not hypocritical. But… alas.. I am shallow. And I like a nice green lawn.
Why? Why do I like this symbol of the suburban chemical warrior? Why do I aspire to a lawn like Augusta?
I don’t know. I just do. I like to walk in my lawn and feel the thick grass. I like to see the sprinkled (and NECESSARY NITROGEN-FIXING) clover. I like to watch my dippy dog roll in the dew. I like to wallow in the gorgeous green.
But, after many years of not knowing better, these days I most certainly do not like using the vile, evil, soul-stealing rotation of Scotts fertilizers.
Before I knew any better, I believed in the petrochemical miracle of seasonal fertilizing. How could you not think that weed killing, bug killing, summer stabilizing, fall fertilizing was a good idea?
Well, those fertilizers require tons and tons and tons and tons of gasoline to happen. Creating that magic mixture of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. And the weird pseudo ecology that they create in your lawn… well, it turns out that it’s not so good. Back in the day, I wanted to believe that I was doing the right thing – especially when suppressing (gasp) weeds and (holy shit!) ticks and fleas.
But, and this is important, it’s not doing the right thing. There are better, easier ways to get a good healthy, green lawn. Paul Tukey and the SafeLawns.org have been showing the way for a long time now. I follow a few of the simple things that they suggest:
- Compost in the Fall. A good spread of compost works wonders.
- Aeration every other year or so. My soil is pretty compact. Aeration helps a lot and is great thing to do when overseeding.
- Cut it high. Most people cut their lawns way, way too low. Let the grass come up. It stays healthier and can smother out the growing weeds.
I do feed the lawn as it is waking up. For this I use corn gluten meal. It is a crazy source of nitrogen and is very safe – no crazy pesticides or petrochemicals. If you watch carefully, you can tell the right time to apply it. Here in Connecticut, when the crocus come up and when the forsythia start to bloom, I spread it. It has a component that will inhibit new seedlings from establishing sufficient roots and will therefore prevent many common weeds from getting started. Just be careful not to spread it near your garden starts until they are established.

The small farms of Liwa, thanks to sustainable agriculture based on drip irrigation and greenhouses, represent protection from the progress of the Rub’ Al Khali sand dunes and a real wall against desertification.
“Through the use of space-based technologies, precision farming can improve the yield and quality of crops. This is important for both economic and climate reasons, enabling more efficient and sustainable farming practices while at the same time reducing their environmental impact,” said Luigi Pasquali, space activities coordinator for Leonardo, adding:“By working together, the agriculture and aerospace industries are allowing farmers to produce more while accurately targeting their use of resources, optimising output while respecting the biodiversity of the environment.
For instance, integrated data analysis can help to calculate the right time to irrigate crops, when to sow and harvest and when it really is necessary to use pesticides.
In addition, this can also support productivity by predicting bad weather and allowing the farmer to make plans to avoid damage and reduce waste, such as irrigating before a storm, saving water which is very precious in regions like the Middle East, increasing the farming environmental and economic sustainability.
These factors can reduce the costs of farming and save resources while sustainably increasing the yield and quality of crops, all while respecting the environment.” | agronomy |

We don't have grow lights or a heating mat or anything fancy, but we can still grow sprouts. In fact sprouts are a little easier to grow in the winter because they're less likely to mold.
Even in summer when produce is plentiful, I usually have some sprouts growing. I love how in just a few days, a tablespoon of seeds can turn into a whole quart of food. But we didn't have enough space to grow more than one jar at a time...until now! Check out the sprouting shelf that Jake built:
Sprouts are easy, easy, easy to grow. My rabbits could grow sprouts if rabbits had opposable thumbs. All you have to do is soak a tablespoon or so of sprouting seeds overnight. Then drain them, add some more water, swish them around, and drain them again. Wash and drain them twice a day and...that's it! You'll have sprouts in less than a week. I use the plastic mesh lids on my mason jars for washing and draining my sprouts, but lots of people use cheesecloth, and one of my regular readers uses a different system with coffee filters. (Maybe she'll explain in the comments?) I always keep my jars at a 45 degree angle so all the water drains out and the seeds don't rot.
I'm lucky because the co-op has a huge assortment of sprouting seeds: alfalfa, broccoli, radish, oats, clover, and lots of seed mixes with interesting items like cress and fenugreek. I'm currently growing a French blend, a salad blend and a legume blend. I'll post pictures when I get a full jar.
Another side effect of colder weather is that Trilby doesn't get to go on many excursions, so he needs more toys.
I did do a little driving and shopping today. I went back to Connecticut College's library for Black Jacks: African American Seamen in the Age of Sail. And because the college is so close to the supermarket, I bought twelve cans of cat food, four organic pears and one bunch of organic celery. I didn't need apples today, but while I was there I noticed that the price of conventional apples is hardly any cheaper than the organic apples at the co-op. I was relieved, because I wondered if buying organic was a big splurge. Nope, not really.

Welcome to Brian Noy - new Campus Kitchen coordinator
Brian Noy is the new coordinator of the Campus Kitchen program at Augsburg College. Noy started Aug. 16 and is taking over for Rachel Vallens, who left to attend graduate school in Wisconsin.
Noy is originally from Vernon Center, Minn., a small farming community south of Mankato. He graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2006 with a degree in Sustainable Agriculture. After graduation, Noy worked with the Institution for Agriculture and Trade Policy, which is a non-profit think tank research and policy institute. While there, he was instrumental in starting several small-scale farmers’ markets, including the one at the Brian Coyle Community Center.
He came to learn about the Campus Kitchen program through Mary Laurel True, who met him at what Noy describes as a “local foods happy hour.” Given his interest in food and education around community gardens, he thought Augsburg would be a great fit for him.
Noy said he is very excited and looking forward to getting the community garden off the ground next year. As a matter of fact, Noy said that four years ago he spotted this piece of land and thought then what a great spot this would make for a community garden.
“I’m excited that I can be part of creating what I only dreamed about four years ago.” | agronomy |

That of 1614 is legendary, lasting ten years and the longest ever recorded, halting just on the border of the vineyards of Sciaranuova. A name strongly evocative of our Cru dell’Etna; Carricante with a small addition of Riesling. High altitude black soils confer a fresh, savoury and mineral style.

5.000 vines per hectare
ClimateThe seasonal pattern showed a fall and a cold winter and little rain, while the spring period was characterized by heavy rains even in the pre-summer. The vineyard went into the summer and maturation in perfect health. The average summer temperatures has been excellent: pleasantly cool, regular, without peaks of heat, never above the seasonal average. Balanced solar radiation. The harvest began with a delay of about 10-14 days (August 17). Temperatures have increased markedly since August 20, while maintaining the proper level of humidity and avoiding dehydration and concentration of the fruit. Harvesting grecanico ended the last days of September.
ClimateThe climatic conditions prevailing during the 2010 harvest were particularly favourable. In 2009 the autumn finished with abundant rainfall, ideal for setting the vines to rest. The winter had normal temperatures and not too much rain. The spring was also average, with rain at the end. The summer began with cooler temperatures until the middle of August, when the temperature then rose to assist perfect ripening. Around 20th September rain assisted the harvest at Vittoria. On the other hand the beginning of summer on Etna was fairly dry but the rains at the end of September were useful and prolonged the harvest until 21st October. Might 2010 be one of the best vintages out of the previous ten? It is early to say but it is certainly a super vintage.
ClimateThe climatic indicators of 2011 had forecast, on a global level, a classic winter with precipitations below average, which after the last few winters with their copious rainfalls had us a little worried. But then in the spring the situation changed; copious rain fell even relatively late in the season and prepared the vineyards to perfection. The summer was hot without being excessively so, and the grapes were able to ripen without a flaw. The 2011 vintage yielded perfectly healthy grapes, if in noticeably diminished quantities. Indeed quantity as well as size of the harvested fruit was reduced by 15% on the average, which means also a decrease in total weight. In any case this resulted in an exceptionally high overall quality, especially of the red grapes which profited greatly by this natural and thus perfect thinning out. The temperatures stayed in the average range and, more importantly, showed no heat spikes. Both September and October were mild, and sporadic rainfalls at the end of the season accomplished the vintage.
ClimateMount Etna The harvest seems to have a tremendous potential and we will be able to know more next year. Undoubtedly, this year the usual elegance of these wines grown on the volcano will give way to the power of the alcohol and tannins. However, this vintage seems to be characterized by wines with an above-average quality. The grapes are healthy and perfectly intact. This is definitely important for a mountain harvest, which by its very nature tends towards the rainy season.
It would be hard to imagine two harvests more different than those of 2012 and 2013. After the hot wines of last year, we have perhaps returned to a vintage more in the ‘Etna style’. A long dry summer, but not too hot, just perfect. However we did need the September rains, and the rain arrived and never seemed to finish! We waited patiently, and then a miracle arrived. On 15th October a sort of Indian Summer arrived and completely turned the vintage around. On Etna it is essential to harvest late to ensure the quality of the reds. It seems early to say but it seems that the whites indicate minerals and Nerello its variety.
Time of Harvest
The grapes are picked into crates and immediately refrigerated at 8⁰C, selected by hand and sent for light destalking and soft pressing; the decanted must is racked, inoculated with yeasts and fermented at 15⁰C in inox stainless steel; the wine thus obtained remains on the fine lees until March with continuous stirring
Great potential, from 7 to 10 years | agronomy |

Where else would you find such a range of knowledge from the most influential people in the industry sitting alongside alternative uses for welly boots?
With more than 120 lists to enjoy, there is something for everyone with little pieces of history sitting alongside futuristic predictions.
The author: Andrew Arbuckle was born and brought up on a family farm in North Fife later taking over the tenancy of the unit from his father. The farm specialised in growing seed potatoes and malting barley with cash crops of sugar beet and strawberries. On giving up the tenancy, he moved into full time journalism working as agricultural editor with the Courier in Dundee. A spell as a Member of the Scottish Parliament followed before once again picking up his pen and writing about the agricultural industry he loves.

At Nature’s Gold, our number one priority has always been to produce high standard products with elite natural ingredients. Manuka Honey
is a featured ingredient in all of our products, and we are always researching initiatives to ensure the Manuka Honey in our products is the best quality around. In March 2018, Nature’s Gold helped to incorporate the Australian Farming Together/ABC Honey co-op initiative, which allows beekeepers to share in the profits from the entire chain of the hive to the consumer. Beginning with production right up to the end user, beekeepers benefit.
Forming a co-op and undertaking a joint venture with Nature’s Gold
has helped apiarists invest in technology to create the highest standards of Australian honey for the world to enjoy.
By collaborating with ABC Honey and Nature’s Gold, the co-op has been able to create a stand-alone packing house, and install a sophisticated honey aeration plant to secure a major supply contract. The co-op also offers packing services to all members of the co-operative under their own labels. The co-op is also preparing to introduce mobile extraction units for the honey, which creates a natural process for preventing raw honey from crystalizing. Aeration plants are used extensively overseas, but are an Australian-first.
Working collaboratively allows beekeepers to save money, potentially make more money, and ensure their honey stays at a high-standard from the hive all the way to the end customer, whether those customers are local or overseas.
“Co-operatives are the building blocks of all great economic activity, they formalize loose partnerships and make them work for the benefit of all the members,” - Richard Symes Cooperative Co-founder.
This exciting new collaboration for Nature’s Gold means that we can ensure we maintain healthy relationships with the elite beekeepers across Australia, whose quality standards are only the best.

About 50 full-time employees and 250 seasonal workers will lose their jobs as family-owned Uesugi Farms winds down operations in more than 5,000 acres in California, Arizona and Mexico, where it grows cabbage, corn, pumpkins and peppers.
But the company Wednesday announced it would continue to operate the annual festival from Sept. 28 through Halloween on Monterey Road in San Martin.
“The Pumpkin Patch is going to be open this fall,” said Uesugi’s general manager, Pete Aiello, whose father Joe Aiello bought the operation nearly 40 years ago.
The festival includes a pyramid of about 4,000 pumpkins, a petting corral, carousel and corn maze, as well as train and pony rides.
Pete Aiello declined to comment on the circumstances that drove the family to make the 2018 season its last. But he said the company was not declaring bankruptcy, though a bank was helping handle the sale of much of its machinery.
“We’re still winding down the situation,” he said.
A source familiar with the operation said the costs of renting the land, buying fuel, pumping water and paying field hands had eaten up profits to the point where it was no longer feasible to continue.
“They quit because they had to, not because they wanted to,” the source said.
A recent statement on Uesugi’s website said that “due to market conditions and factors outside of its control,” the company would “wind down” its operations once the current harvest season ends.
“Uesugi’s priority is to maximize the value of its assets and implement plans to work with customers, vendors, lenders, employees and others to obtain the best outcome possible for all its stakeholders,” according to the posting.
Despite such market forces, about 20,000 acres in Santa Clara County remain under cultivation by other farmers and the local county Farm Bureau has about 300 active members.
While the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival draws thousands every season, the most common crops in the county are actually peppers, including bells and jalapenos, and cherries, wine grapes, lettuce and tomatoes, said bureau president Paul Mirassou of B & T Farms.
Mushrooms were the top single crop with a market value of $74 million in 2017, according to the most recent Farm Bureau report. | agronomy |
