In fact, there are more microorganisms in a teaspoon of healthy soil than there are people on Earth. Roots, earthworms, bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, algae, protozoa, nematodes, mites and small insects work together to help build soil aggregates (sand, silt and clay). Some of the characteristics of healthy soils are inherent, while others are dynamic and can be influenced by management decisions... Dynamic soil characteristicsMany soil characteristics are amendable depending on the way soils are managed... Soil organic matter content, microbial populations, bulk density, infiltration rate, soil water and nutrient holding capacity are examples of dynamic soil characteristics that change over a shorter time period with or without human intervention...

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... Mixed cultures provide a potential option for single cultures... However, because there are few studies on this method, especially from an agricultural point of view, mixed cultures are rare in cultivable agriculture. A team led by Professor Christian at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich now reveals that mixed cultures actually produce higher yields than single cultures in cultivable agriculture... Mixed culture draws on the ecological principle that ecosystems can more effectively function in places where biodiversity is high...

Turns out that your roses have powdery mildew. What is Rose powdery mildew？Rose powdery mildew is a fungal disease... If your roses have powdery mildew,you would find out white or grey powdery spots on the buds,leaves, stems or even. When the disease is mild,the growth of rose would be weakened, the young leaves are distorted and deformed,and the flower posture grows irregular, which affects the growth and loss of ornamental value. When the disease occurs severely, it causes early deciduous leaves of rose, deformity or incomplete opening of flower buds, and consecutive diseases make the branches of rose wither or the whole plant die, seriously affecting its quality and yield...

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?
