Hawaii for centuries has been the last stronghold in the Coffee Belt to grow coffee without the added hardships caused by Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR). However, as of November 2020 the first cases of CLR were detected on Maui and the Big Island of Hawai i. With very little solutions to this coffee disease, our North American Area Manager Nicholas Machado presented CAFEDAK to the Hawaiian coffee growers of Kona, Ka u, and Hilo which will help them control the spread of this already economically important disease. #Cafedak organically activates the coffee plant s natural defense mechanisms, improves plant nutrition, and promotes better production and crop quality. Cafedak can be used as an additional tool in the fight against Hawaiian CLR ensuring that growers can keep their trees productive while also reducing the crop s pesticide load.

Easton, MD (September 1, 2021) – F3 Tech, an agriculture innovation accelerator program for early-stage companies supported by the nonprofit Eastern Shore Entrepreneurship Center and the U. S. Economic Development Administration, has selected five companies from the fields of crop and soil health, as well as clean energy storage, to participate in its 2021 program. The companies were selected from a pool of competitive applications and include:· Holganix, a manufacturer of proprietary plant probiotics that harness the power of microorganisms to optimize soils and grow healthier, more sustainable plants. This translates to improved yield on crops and a reduced need for fertilizers and pesticides...

Almost all crop plants are in contact with a special type of fungus called arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the soil, which greatly expands their root surface area. This mutually beneficial interaction promotes the ability of plants to absorb nutrients essential to growth. The more nutrients that plants naturally obtain, the less artificial fertilizers they need. Understanding this natural process, as the first step to potentially enhance it, is an ongoing research challenge. This progress may bring huge dividends to agricultural productivity...

"The specific knowledge gained from testing weed resistance can return value directly to the farm operation in the form of not spending money on products that will not work or are not necessary. For those renting land with resistant weed issues, testing could give the grower a strong, evidence-based argument to use when negotiating additional herbicide cost-share or even proposing a change in crop rotation or other management practices aimed at addressing the issue."

Nowadays, single cultivation occupies the dominant position of arable land, and large areas of land are occupied by single, promising fine varieties with high yield. However, arable land growing only one crop has its disadvantages: these areas can easily be targeted by fungi and pests and pose a threat to crops. In order to control pests, farmers have to use insect-resistant varieties and various insecticides. Mixed cultures provide a potential option for single cultures. Instead of planting only one species or variety on a large area of land, multiple species or varieties are sown side by side...

"Mechanical cultivation is one option to replace or to complement chemical weed control under the vines. A variety of vineyard under-vine cultivators are available on the market. Weed control efficacy depends on plant species and operation timing, but no single piece of equipment will control all weed species or be compatible with all vineyard layouts."

"Fusarium head blight, which is also commonly known as scab, is a fungal disease of cereal crops, particularly small grains like wheat, rye, barley, and oats, and this disease is caused by mini fungi in the genre of Fusarium. But the most important in North America is Fusarium graminearum. And to be very honest, this pathogen not only affects production problems but also affects the quantity, as well as the quality of the grain, by producing the mycotoxins, which poses a serious concern if ingested by humans and animals."
