MITIGATING RESISTANCE: HOW AND WHY, YOU NEED TO DIVERSIFY
Herbicide Resistance poses a significant threat to agricultural productivity, profitability, and sustainability. Here are four ways how growers can help mitigate the risk of herbicide resistance:
NURTURING GROWTH: HARNESSING THE POWER OF MICROS
The key to thriving crops lies not only in providing essential macronutrients but also in harnessing the power of micronutrients. These trace elements, although required in small quantities, play a crucial role in supporting plant growth, development, and overall resistance to diseases. This blog post explores the importance and numerous benefits of micronutrient usage, highlighting how these essential elements can unlock the full potential of plants and protect them against harmful pathogens.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND PROTEC: PROTECTING YOUR INOCULANT INVESTMENT
PROTEC polymer coating extends the shelf life by feeding the rhizobia bacteria within the inoculant. As a liquid, PROTEC activates the rhizobia strain and provides the rhizobia bacteria with a food source.
The rhizobia are localizes near the young developing root of legumes, referred to as a pulse crop. Root hairs are virtually microscopic protrusions that grow out, seeking nutrients and rhizobia. Once a root hair comes into contact with a rhizobia, the two merge and begin performing a reaction in which the rhizobia produces an infection thread and the root hair starts to envelop the rhizobia. This is a symbiotic relationship, in which both organisms benefit from each other.
ENHANCING CROP HEALTH AND YEILD: THE BENEFITS OF SEED TREATMENTS
In the world of agriculture, growers face numerous challenges in ensuring healthy crop growth and maximizing yield. One crucial aspect that often goes unnoticed is the importance of using seed treatments to protect against diseases. Here are six significant benefits that growers can reap by incorporating seed treatments into their farming practices.
MAXIMIZING NUTRIENT EFFICIENCY: THE POWER OF FERTILIZER STABILIZERS
Fertilizer stabilizers play a crucial role in enhancing nutrient availability for plants. These additives are designed to prevent nutrient losses through leaching, volatilization, and denitrification. By inhibiting these processes, fertilizers remain in the root zone, allowing plants to access and utilize the applied nutrients more effectively. This leads to improved nutrient uptake, enhanced crop growth, and increased yield potential, ultimately maximizing the return on investment for farmers.
UNLOCKING THE SECRETS BENEATH: THE BENEFITS OF SOIL SAMPLING
Soil testing stands as a cornerstone of modern agriculture, providing farmers with invaluable insights into the health and fertility of their land. This essential practice offers a detailed analysis of soil composition, including nutrient content, pH levels, and the presence of contaminants, which can significantly influence crop growth and yield. By understanding the specific needs of their soil, growers can make informed decisions about fertilization, irrigation, and crop rotation strategies, tailoring their agricultural practices to the unique conditions of their land.
LEARNING ABOUT AG WITH MADY
What started as a series of videos to help educate her classmates about Agriculture, has grown into an opportunity to educated thousands. Showcasing her knowledge with videos of her family farm (@JadowayFarms) in West Central Saskatchewan on social media, Mady Adamson (@AboutAgWithMady) makes Learning about Ag both fun and easy. These posts have grown new opportunities for Mady to engage with the Ag Community including attending tradeshows, meetings with government officials, other social media influencers and becoming a key note speaker at ag events across the country. As Mady continues to share her knowledge and passion we are incredible honored to share her message with you and support her drive to raise funds for Stars Air Ambulance.
Ag with Mady Merchandise is available for purchase at tradeshows and through her online channels with 100% of the proceeds being donated to Stars Air Ambulance.
