It is more difficult to control weeds in soybeans because of their compact foliage, which takes longer than grain crops to produce an interlocking canopy that shades inter-row area... (Image credits Joel Gruver)Cultural Weed ControlCultural operations help in preventing weeds, and in improving crop ability to compete against weeds. The cultural methods that increase the competitiveness of soybeans are increasing crop cover, variety selection, planting time, and improving soil conditions. Prevent weeds from establishing in the fields through good sanitation, crop rotation, and cover crops... Weeds come from seed banks present in the soil or are transported as contaminants of crop seeds into a farm...

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... Precautions of 1-MCP1) The harvest time should be at an appropriate maturity of crops...

But did you know that for many crops, those roots aren’t working alone?That’s because most plant species associate with mycorrhizal fungi... Although there are many different types of mycorrhizae, the only one crop farmers need to be concerned about is arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), as 65% of plant species associate with it... While this symbiotic relationship is often seen and discussed as a benefit to crop production, Cahill and Hart warn that’s not always the case. But there are steps farmers can take to help AMF be more of an advantage than a disadvantage for their crops... Benefits of MycorrhizaeOne of AMF’s benefits to crops, and perhaps the most significant, is phosphorus uptake...

18 years ago, we bought our first self-propelled sprayer and it revolutionized access to land, it was light and well balanced and made fertilizer and crop protection applications easy... Each year of zerotill these areas seemed to get smaller, the temptation to subsoil them was resisted in favor of a light late spring surface cultivation and cover crop mix established on any such bare patch or sticky headland, nothing repairs structure better than roots and the soil biology that surrounds them and it seems that if you can create a good natural structure it can go some way to making up for the failings of an ageing 1960’s drainage scheme... It’s not all positive however, tractors don’t have the clearance of a self-propelled machine and changes between row crops and low ground pressure wheel equipment would take longer and be more frequent, trailed machines are not as “handy” in the smaller fields, backing into corners and working around obstacles... 36m still fits with the harvest operation where we control the unavoidably heavy machinery and 12m base organic fertilizer and lime applications yet even when running wide tractor tyres all year around the area lost to uncropped tramlines and reduced ground clearance is not much more in percentage terms than that lost to narrow wheels on a 24m system... Often the first thing I am asked about our transition to zerotill is how do the crops yield? or what are gross margins like? Others are interested in the operational cost savings we have made like fuel and wearing metal...
