With the progress of society and the increasingly developed science and technology, there has been a lot of pollution in the environment in which we live, and the land we live in is now devastated. Therefore, we must take measures to carry out soil remediation and control soil pollution. Soil problems will become an important part of the environmental protection cause in the future. Then there are problems...

Opulent Blends has possibly the best iron uptake for iron fertilizer, which is Green Optimizer and here's how. A major limiting factor on crop yields is imbalanced nutrient availability, especially iron. There are many essential elements that plants use, and it is important for each of those elements to be balanced. An element that is short in supply will determine the effectiveness of all the elements as a whole and in result lead to unbalanced nutrients within the plant negatively affecting the overall health and growth of the plant. In fact, a shortage of just one element within the plant can hinder an entire crop...

1-MCP is a product widely used in apples around the world to improve eating quality and storability. Ripening of the fruit is initiated by ethylene, and in some cases this is also true. To a certain extent, the ripening process's speed is regulated by its concentration in the fruit. Fruits generally soften, and apples soften more rapidly when the ethylene content is high, but ethylene is also volatile in the fruit needed to stimulate the formation of flavor-producing substances...

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... The latter climate is much drier and warmer than Zurich, which allows researchers to study how these crops grow under possible future climatic conditions. In their experiment, the researchers selected two or four different crops from eight selected crops, including wheat, oats, quinoa, lentils, lentils, flax, and pseudoflax (a rapeseed rapeseed) as well as coriander... These crops were sown in alternating parallel rows at 12 cm intervals. The researchers compared seed quality between mixed-cultivated crops and monoculture crops...

Recently, new progress has been made in the cloning and evolution of cold tolerance genes at the booting stage of rice completed by the Institute of Grain Making, Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences in cooperation with China Agricultural University and other units, and the research result article Stepwise selection of natural variations at CTB2 and CTB4a improves cold duration adaptation domestication of japonica rice was published online in full in New phytologist (IF: 8. 51). In this study, a new rice booting stage cold tolerance gene CTB2 was cloned, and the gradual selection of natural variants of CTB2 and CTB4a improved the cold adaptability of japonica rice. It was found that cold tolerance japonica rice originated in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China. Rice is a cold-sensitive crop originating from the tropics or subtropics, and encountering low temperatures during the booting stage can lead to the inability of rice to develop normally and severely reduce yield...

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... Understanding and using the dynamics of fungus colonization in plant roots has the potential to increase future crop yields in an environmentally sustainable way...

Looking at planting triticale with hairy vetch and cow peas for a cover crop next year for a cash crop or corn to be planted late May 2021 using a roller crimper to terminate the cover crop before plant. It’s October 18th, I won’t be able to plant until the 22nd. Night time temps have fluctuated from mid 30s to high 20s no consistency yet. Some nights stay closer to 40. Highs are in the 70s and 80s. Am I too late for any of my covers? Any suggestions on planting rates? Will triticale terminate properly if I follow the method used for Rye, waiting until the entire field is dropping pollen?
