Organic farming, agricultural system that uses ecologically based pest controls and biological fertilizers derived largely from animal wastes and nitrogen-fixing cover crops. The ecological benefits of organic farming are counterbalanced by higher food c
Precision agriculture has become a popular topic in recent years, and the development of nondestructive estimation technologies have provided new methods and means for crop growth estimation, presenting good application prospects. Previous studies have shown that images collected by sensors such as an RGB...
Evapotranspiration Process And Methods Of MeasuringUnderstanding the various processes that drive plant growth is critical for successful farming. Evapotranspiration (ET) is one such process that has a major impact on agricultural productivity. Often overlooked, ET plays a pivotal role in maintaining soil...
A large number of samples are being tested by organic certifiers, but the sampling methods often do not allow to determine if such residues stem from prohibited pesticide use by organic farmers, from mixing organic with conventional products, from short-range spray-drift from neighbour farms, ...

It seems that, in most cases, weed infestation level and duration may enhance by the use of organic fertilizers. However, the other beneficial aspects of these fertilizers should not be ignored. 6.3. Critical period of weed control in response to nutrient management The critical pe...

Disclosed are methods for forming ammonia and ammonium that can be utilized in certifiably organic farming productions according to most if not all known certification standards. Al
Thus, for example, a drug-like compound may be a molecule that may be synthesised by the techniques of organic chemistry, less preferably by techniques of molecular biology or biochemistry, and is preferably a small molecule, which may be of less than 5000 daltons and which may be water-...
At least one exemplary system comprises a tubular mesh enclosure formed from a mesh material having a nominal opening size of less than 0.5 inches, said tubular mesh enclosure havin
