Australian farmers should make significantly more money on their crops in 2024/25 than in the previous season thanks to a drop in fertiliser and chemical prices, with plantings likely to favour wheat over less profitable canola,Rabobank said on last Thursday. Australia is one of the world's b...
Development of agriculture in India so far has been synonymous with the development of the fertiliser industry and the situation today is no different.Long-term measures for development of fertiliser sector as one of the steps towards development of agriculture hold the key to rural prosperity.This...
With arable crops typically receiving greater amounts of nitrogen fertiliser, additional nitrate in the soil could act as an alternative electron acceptor for dissimilatory microbial respiration in poorly structured, carbon-deficient soils that generate greater volumes of anoxic pore space. Under this ...
During the past 2-3 years, the government has absorbed the impact of high global commodity prices and ensured the availability of fertilisers at stable retail prices. This has resulted in stable fertiliser consumption and a record agricultural output during these years, as compared to degrowth in ...
mostly as a result of better efficiency in using nutrients in the exporting and replacing chemical fertiliser on the importing farm (Kuhn et al.2018). Yet, this positive effect is only sustained if the exporting farms do not need to use manufactured nitrogen fertiliser as a consequence of manur...
From an agricultural point of view, agricultural biogas plants are particularly important because they enable the management of all waste biomass and its conversion into useful energy and agricultural fertiliser. This paper presents methods for assessing the economic effectiveness of an investment in an ...
In summary, in the dominant paradigm of contemporary industrial agriculture, the ability of crop plants to respond to their environment is reduced and optimised by selection to match a very specific environment, in which their development is directed (weed-free, fertiliser-supplemented, pest- and di...
(Fig. 6). However, data to understand the risks are very limited. For example, data from two of the New Zealand LTSP trials designed to investigate seedlot family performance (Kinleith and Golden Downs, terminated early) at age 5 years showed no effect of harvest intensity or fertiliser ...
China is one of the largest agricultural countries in the world. In the context of China’s efforts to achieve dual carbon goals (carbon peak and carb
As Wynnstay gained record full-year profits, boosted by acquisitions and fertiliser stockpiling by growers, it flagged changing dynamics in the UK feed market, and warned farmers over "pricing pressures". The UK-based farm retail-to-grain trading group said that its feed operations, which suffer...
