Italy and Estonia, using crops like lettuce, courgettes, and berries. In The british trials, on Maris Piper potatoes, Waterbee used 56%less water than the local irrigation system in use.

or biochar to soil to both boost crop yields and counter global climate change the study offers the first detailed explanation for this mystery. nderstanding the controls on water movement through biochar-amended soils is critical

Crop growers wine grape and other fruit growers food processors and even concrete makers all benefit from water sensors for accurate steady and numerous moisture readings.

While growers can use the sensors to monitor water in soils for their crops civil engineers can embed the chips in concrete to determine optimal moisture levels as the concrete cures. ne of our goals is to try

and around crops could pay huge dividends for farmers in the near future thanks to advances in genetic sequencing.

The sheer complexity involved in making sense of the virtually countless microbes that interact with crops made such an ambitious goal seem outlandish in the past.

When crops are optimized with the right genetics and colonized by the right microbes both organisms can flourish.

#Robobees will pollinate crops instead of real bees As soon as 10 years from now these Robobees could artificially pollinate a field of crops.

The researchers believe that as soon as 10 years from now these Robobees could artificially pollinate a field of crops,

Honeybees alone contribute more than $15 billion in value to U s. agricultural crops each year. But Robobees are not yet a viable technological solution.

Will robot bees eventually be able to operate like honeybee hives to pollinate commercial crops? Ma:

and energy and improve crop yield. It takes advantage of the vertical space of city buildings rather than turning over wide expanses of land to agriculture and uses advanced greenhouse technology:

and environmental controls that regulate temperature, humidity and light to produce vegetables, fruits and other crops year-round.

Evidence is emerging that specific wavelengths of light have distinct effects on crop yield, quality, and even pest and disease resistance.

Sensors help agriculture by enabling real-time traceability and diagnosis of crop, livestock and farm machine states.

and maintain crops at the plant level. Engineering involves technologies that extend the reach of agriculture to new means, new places and new areas of the economy.

Crop sensors: Instead of prescribing field fertilization before application, high-resolution crop sensors inform application equipment of correct amounts needed.

Optical sensors or drones are able to identify crop health across the field (for example, by using infrared light).

Scientifically viable in 2015; mainstream in 2018; and financially viable in 2019. Infrastructural health sensors:

Further understanding of crop variability, geolocated weather data and precise sensors should allow improved automated decision-making and complementary planting techniques.

including year-round crop production, protection from weather, support urban food autonomy and reduced transport costs. Scientifically viable in 2023;

Unfortunately about half of the world's food is consumed never due to inefficiencies in the harvesting storage and delivery of crops.

Certainly weather-related events like the current and long-lasting drought in portions of the U s. add further complexity to the science of farming as resultant crop damage food supply shortages

While collecting real-time data on weather soil health of crops and air quality is important as is the availability of equipment

Precision agriculture can help farmers from Brunei to Brazil pinpoint the best time for harvesting to mitigate crop damage and loss;

and show how and when to deploy delivery trucks to ensure immediate shipment an especially important factor in farmlands where the lack of paved roads can paralyze distribution.

Those and other smarter farming methods including techniques used early in the growing cycle are reducing weather-related crop damage by as much as 25 percent in some areas ensuring that fewer crops are wasted

According to the U s. Department of agriculture weather-related incidents cause 90 percent of all crop losses. Precision agriculture helps address that problem by improving weather forecasting

Getting more crop per drop not only improves farm productivity but provides enough return on investment to fund additional high-tech solutions.

Jalas and the way he works represent a new and mostly untapped market for a new crop of genetics interpretation and analysis firms,

Today, hundreds of companies worldwide are making drones for infrastructure inspection, crop-and livestock-monitoring,

If a company decides to use a surveillance drone for crop management, for instance, it can easily add software that stitches together different images to determine which areas of a field are overwatered

viewing companies that monitor crops and infrastructure with drones that require specific cameras and sensors as potential early customers.

That's the case for crops, which are plentifully regrown. On the other hand fossil fuel-produced carbon dioxide is considered different

When ants came, crop yields often improved, the team concludes online today in the Journal of Applied Ecology.

which could have applications such as spraying on crops or disinfecting food, as well as treating human disease.

farmers could send machines into their fields to inspect the crops, said Georgia Tech doctoral candidate Yancy Diaz-Mercado,

the way poppy crops are--allowing millions of people around the world who do not have sufficient access to painkilling drugs to get the medications they need.

"In the future, farmers could send machines into their fields to inspect the crops, "said Georgia Tech Ph d. candidate Yancy Diaz-Mercado."

(which makes water unusable for crops and for drinking), the team also applied UV LIGHT to disinfect some of the water as it passed through the system.

even those who grow crops with relatively low water needs like wine grapes are feeling the pinch.

"We may also apply this to agriculture for predicting crop yield, drought condition, or insect outbreak."

#Weather history time machine created During the 1930s North america endured the Dust bowl a prolonged era of dryness that withered crops

#An innovative way to increase flower, seed and fruit production A scientist from UPM has developed a method to enhance crop yield by the contact of roots aerial parts or even the substratum of the plant fungus'Colletotrichum tofieldiae'.

because they have a large amount of crop pathogen. However this species has other subspecies that does not harm their host plants

This method can help increase crop yields its application is similar to use a fertilizer but having better results

The biochar has a one-two punch in that it can be used to both increase crop yields

The scientists found that controlling irrigation using data from moisture sensors led to substantial reductions in both production time and crop losses.

the readings it takes are more scientifically rigorous than those achieved by the current crop of Android Wear-powered devices,

Researchers have completed the second of three major steps needed to turbocharge photosynthesis in crops such as wheat

But 75 percent of the world's crops (known as C3 plants) use a slower and less efficient form of photosynthesis. Researchers have been attempting for a long time to change some C3 plants-including wheat rice and potatoes-into C4 plants.

However Price says there are genetic workarounds that could quickly make it possible in a wider range of crops s

So an important question is how to minimize the energy it takes to grow these crops.

Today most farmers typically overwater crops by up to 20%just to be on the safe side.

Optimal irrigation can improve quality and quantity of crops and increase farmers incomes and profitability.

SWP is recognized a scientifically highly accurate parameter for determining water status in crops but today SWP can only be measured in a labor-intensive procedure.

The Saturas sensing system tailors irrigation to the crop's real-time water needs resulting in more efficient water use

#Farmlogs Is Now Able To Alert Farmers About Crop Threats Farm management software company Farmlogs is used by over 20%of the farms in the U s. with over $15 billion in crops under management.

Now Farmlogs has launched the only crop health monitoring service in the industry that can pinpoint the exact location in the part of the field that needs attention.

Farmlogs monitors crop health by utilizing multi-spectral satellite imagery to build performance baselines from over five years of field-specific crop health data.

The crop health is tracked throughout the season against the performance baseline to detect subtle cues

The crop health monitoring imagery utilized by Farmlogs shows information that is actionable and eliminates guesswork

As a gift to its users, Farmlogs is offering the crop monitoring feature for free this year.

so it kills only those bugs that threaten crops and avoids collateral damage to beneficial insects.

Crop protection RNA, ribonucleic acid, is present in all living cells. Mainly, it acts as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins.
