where farmers are allowed to pump as much as they want. And the Colorado river which waters much of southern California, has been suffering from 14 years of low flow.
Vinduino As California fourth straight year of drought forces farmers to cut back on water use,
"For example, we envision that synthetic fermentation could be used by farmers to generate and identify new antibacterial or antifungal molecules to treat plant diseases."
a farmer could identify a novel combination that treats plant infections. He adds that the next step is to determine the most efficient way to screen the thousands

#Sensor detects spoilage of food VTT has developed a sensor that detects ethanol in the headspace of a food package.
"The pumps make it possible for farmers to irrigate year round, which reduced dependence on seasonal rainfalls.
Producing food year round enables farmers to move from subsistence farming to commercial farming and also allows them to capture higher crop prices during the dry season,
so groundbreaking is that these genetic modifications look just like genetic variations resulting from the selective breeding that farmers have been doing for millennia.
between 10 and 17 days after the seed is pollinated. e believe that as early farmers selected larger seeds to eat and plant,

By nurturing watermelon seeds to maturity inside cube-shaped glass boxes Japanese farmers create cube-shaped mature melons that allow for densely-packed shipping and storage of the fruit.
A GPS SYSTEM with differential correction would cost an Argentine farmer about $10 000, Masiá said,
So, for example, a farmer could monitor conditions for his or her field using a mobile phone,
and usually require someone to monitor the soil on an ad hoc basis. Growflex can help farmers watering patterns based on other ambient factors,
Farmers are increasingly using drones to monitor crop health and gauge growth patterns. This is a job well-suited to drones,
and new airborne drones are providing farmers with high-resolution sensing ability (see gricultural Drones, although drone services can yet be offered commercially in the United states. Mike Schmitt, a professor in the Department of Soil, Water,
The question that farmers have pondered over is whether they will ever recoup the upfront cost of a brand-new system of lighting.
For the moment the strategy for greenhouse farmers seems clear: convert to LED lighting as quickly as possible.
LEDS give farmers greater flexibility at a lower cost and a smaller environmental footprint. These are surely goals worth aiming for r
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.

Tarsedi told me that oil palm is the crop of choice for Bungaraya farmers because it is more valuable than paddy rice.

. and State departments of Agriculture and state Board of Agriculture Chairman Scott Enright met Monday with farmers.
It was pretty clear to us that the papaya farmers took the highest amount of damage.
The farmers went through a tough spot about a year ago, fighting disease. They got their crops to where they were ready to pick.
Ha said a real problem that will hinder papaya farmers in their recovery is most don have credit.

and impose new restrictions on what pesticides farmers can use when commercial honeybees are pollinating their crops.
and computational technologies are giving farmers the ability to monitor their land better, to make decisions that can lower costs and increase crop yields,
farmers could find ways to use water, seed, and fertilizer more efficiently, lowering their costs enough to more than pay for the technology investment
Technology is not only helping farmers grow their crops but also aid in monitoring the health of their livestock.
which help farmers, like Keith Larrabee, make effective decisions. In her second article, Brynes tells Larrabee narrative,

It is nearly common knowledge that by 2050 farmers will struggle to feed the massive growing population;
Farmers now have the ability to make choices that are affordable, effective, and based on fact. arming is moving from being an act of intuitive decision making to an act of analytical decision making,

#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.
so that farmers can fix problems before yield is reduced. If Farmlogs detects crop health anomalies, then it will alert farmers by pinpointing the exact location of the threats.
Farmlogsmobile app will even guide farmers to the location that needs to be monitored. As a gift to its users, Farmlogs is offering the crop monitoring feature for free this year.
Based in Ann arbor, Michigan Farmlogs launched about three years ago and participated in the Y Combinator startup accelerator program.
Farmlogs is used by farmers in all 50 states and internationally in over 130 countries across six continents.

Farmers that are able to identify viruses affecting the health or yields of their herds might be able to halt the spread of those viruses,
Many farmers have abandoned their fields and harvests for fear of the disease. In Sierra leone for instance it is reported that up to 40%of farms were abandoned in the worst affected areas.

state officials the first cutback to farmers'water rights since 1977, and ordered cities and towns to cut water use by as much as 36 percent.
but some farmers are already ignoring the new rules, or challenging them in court. The drought shows no sign of letting up any time soon,
Arcane laws actually encourage farmers to take even more water from the Colorado river and from California's rivers than they actually need,
and federal subsidies encourage farmers to plant some of the crops that use the most water.
In addition to those crops, cotton is one of the thirstiest crops a farmer can grow, especially in a desert.
many of the crops that use less water entitle farmers to fewer federal subsidies, and so farmers don't have much of an incentive to switch crops.
Though cotton production has dropped steeply in California since 1995, California farmers have gotten $3 billion in federal subsidies to grow it.
On top of subsidies,"Use it or Lose it"clauses in state water laws actually encourage farmers to flood their fields with much more water than they need
lest they lose the right to that amount of water in the future. Urban development is also a big factor.
and creative ad campaigns are finding varying degrees of success. The state has cut deliveries of water to farmers through the state and federal aqueduct systems,

#Boutique bread just a gene away for Aussie farmers Australian farmers can look forward to growing a boutique,
Professor Henry and his colleagues are eager to produce new premium wheat varieties. he good news is that premium wheats attract better prices so this discovery potentially means more dollars for Australian farmers.
