Conservation tillage in US corn production: Implications for pesticide use.Discusses the of a study entitled 'Conservation tillage in US corn production: Implications for pesticide use,' by John C. Day, C. Hallam et al, presented at the 1998 Soil and Water Conservation Society Annual Conference....
We also find that the total annual environmental cost associated with GM corn production is $179 per hectare or $557.65 million within Minnesota. The use of the evaluation framework can help to improve decision making at farm and policy level to develop sustainable agriculture in order to ...
For corn, the threshold varies from 27 °C (ERA5-Land) to 30 °C (GMFD). For soybeans, the threshold varies from 28 °C (ERA5-Land) to 30 °C (PRISM). Table 1 shows the effect of changes in the temperature exposure on annual crop yields. Specifically, it gives the ...
Here is a breakdown of the most exported products from the US with total annual amounts in USD: CommodityAnnual Amount Refined and Crude Petroleum$71.32 billion Soybeans$22.3 billion Gold$17.7 billion Corn$9.82 billion Wheat$5.13 billion
We found that a switch from continuous corn production to perennial-grass production decreased annual income provisioning by 75%, although it increased annual energy provisioning by 33%, decreased annual phosphorous loading to surface water by 29%, increased below-ground carbon sequestration by 30%, ...
worth of annual global food production relies on direct contributions by pollinators.1 See the benefits of biodiverse ecosystems Under the Good Growth Plan, Syngenta has committed to enhancing biodiversity and soil health on 7.4 million acres of rural land every year through 2025.

Major farming operations in the US are getting larger, while growers planting on fewer than 1,000 acres are diminishing in number and losing their share of annual domestic production. The number of farms operating on more than 1,000 acres has progressively expanded during the last 35 years desp...
Arboreal soft scales are its main prey; it is an effective natural enemy of cottony maple scale [Pulvinaria innumerobilis (Rathvon)], terrapin scale [Mesolecanium nigrofasciatum (Pergande)] (Simanton, 1916), and pine tortoise scale [Toumeyella parvicornis (Cockerell)] on jack and Scotch ...
soybeans will drive continued growth in the US' soybean trade. From the 2024 marketing year to the 2033 marketing year, China's total soybean imports, including those from the US, are expected to rise from 101.5 million tons to 134.1 million tons, an average annual growth rate of 3.1 ...
at 30 m spatial resolution across the 48 conterminous US states2. While it was created primarily to aid the USDA’s annual crop area estimates, CDL has enabled a multitude of downstream research and operational work in the past decade3, chief among them forecasting food production4, ...
