Nous savons tous que la lumière du soleil est essentielle à la croissance des plantes. Celles-ci tirent parti de l’énergie lumineuse pour transformer le dioxyde de carbone en énergie qu’elles peuvent utiliser pour leur croissance.
Mais qu’advient-il de ce processus par temps nuageux? Quelle quantité de rendement est perdue en raison des fluctuations de la lumière?
When resistance is confirmed on farm, we often think only of the increased herbicide costs. There are a number of other costs growers might incur, however. These can include:
Using glyphosate over and over again is asking for trouble. Layering in novel modes of action is an excellent resistance management strategy. Here's a plan to make that happen pre-seed and pre-emergent in wheat and lentils.
A weed scientist looked at managing kochia through the span of a four-year crop rotation. Learn the chemical and cultural practices that can manage the worst impacts of this weed and help contain its spread.
Wheat midge is sneaky. Sometimes damage from wheat midge gets blamed on frost damage or drought stress. Don’t be fooled. Read how to scout and count wheat midge and protect your crop’s grade and yield against this nasty pest.
Controlling three of the worst yield-robbing insects takes vigilance. Listen to reports from monitoring networks, scout fields, and do a timely application of an effective insecticide when economic thresholds are reached.
Vous avez peut-être remarqué que le soya a un aspect un peu différent lorsque le soleil se couche. C’est parce qu’il dort.
Multiple modes of action take glyphosate to the next level
Prairie farmers depend on glyphosate for pre-seed, in-crop (for glyphosate-tolerant crops), chemfallow and post-harvest herbicide applications.
Kochia pressure used to be limited to Southern Alberta. Not anymore. A number of factors, including a higher number of growing degree days across the Prairies, are driving the spread of kochia. Here's what you need to know about kochia -- and why increased glyphosate use isn't the answer.
