You know you’re on the right path when one of the leading world soil experts gets really excited about LOXSOIL because one of the biggest worldwide agricultural soil problem is the lack of soil oxygen. LOXSOIL is a slow release source of oxygen for the soil that will help to improve soil conditions, help to break down hardpans, soil crusting and stimulate crops to have much bigger yields…. 👍

Understanding Pyrilla perpusilla: A Significant Threat to Sugarcane Production As agricultural professionals, it's crucial to be aware of pests like Pyrilla perpusilla, the sugarcane leafhopper. This small yet destructive insect feeds on sugarcane sap, weakening plants and leading to decreased yields and sugar quality. In regions where sugarcane is a primary crop, such as South Asia, the economic implications are substantial. Farmers face not only reduced harvests but also increased costs for pest management strategies. Effective control measures are essential to protect farmers' livelihoods and ensure a stable sugar supply. By understanding the biology and behavior of this pest, we can develop more sustainable and effective agricultural practices. Let’s work together to raise awareness and implement strategies to combat the challenges posed by Pyrilla perpusilla. #Agriculture #PestManagement #Sugarcane #Sustainability #BioByPriti

Certain farming practices, such as tilling, can disrupt the soil's natural structure, killing vital bacteria and fungi and leaving it vulnerable to erosion. To ensure we continue to reap the benefits of healthy soil in the future, urgent action is needed. EcoGEM’s Soil Enhancer is a natural product that offers multiple solutions to improve soil health:  ✅ Eliminates salt and other toxins  ✅ Prevents crusting and compaction  ✅ Enhances water and fertilizer infiltration  ✅ Removes aluminum and heavy metals from the root zone EcoGEM’s Soil Enhancer also improves sodic and saline soils, reduces crusting and compaction, sequesters heavy metals, and eliminates aluminum toxicity.

🌾 Today, during our DSR field visit in a village in Ropar district, we encountered a farmer’s motor pump. Surprisingly, despite the village having 24-hour agricultural electricity, the ground water levels have dropped significantly due to high water consumption during the paddy transplanting season. As a result, the motor’s discharge was noticeably low, with water barely trickling out. Speaking with the farmer, we learned that this situation is common in the village during paddy planting season. Some farmers dig deeper borewells while others struggle with the limited water supply. Currently, they are relying on the hope of good rainfall to adequately water their paddy fields. We are proud to see this farmer taking the initiative to save water, soil, and the environment by adopting Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) practices. This issue demands our attention and collective action. The Corteva Arcenext team is always here to support you. #SustainableFarming #DSR #WaterConservation #Cortevaagriscience #Acrenext

Through its ability to buffer against pH changes and prevent aluminium toxicity, dolomitic lime improves the availability and longevity of nutrients in soil, thus promoting sustainable, high-yielding agricultural systems.

Ever heard of 'double cropping' versus 'multicropping'? Double cropping involves growing two commodities in the same year consecutively, while multicropping entails growing them simultaneously. Recently, I had the opportunity to witness a research field where koi fish and rice were multicropped together. In this approach, both the fish and rice serve as revenue streams. Additionally, the fish play a crucial role in adding nitrogen to the soil, controlling weeds, and potentially managing harmful insects. It’s by no means a new concept but not one widely used in the U.S. It was a lot of fun to watch the harvest in Arkansas. #Agriculture #Sustainability #Rice

The Importance of Zero Tillage(No till) Zero tillage offers numerous advantages for soil health and is a highly recommended agricultural practice. In this practice , the soil remains undisturbed(not tilled), allowing the residue from previous crops to play an important role during prolonged dry spells. This practice also helps retain soil moisture for longer, which in the end benefits crops by reducing stress and promoting growth. Additionally, zero tillage helps in suppressing weeds, making weed management less of a challenge. As the crop residue decomposes, it enriches the soil with organic matter, leading to overall improvements in soil. #InnovationInFarming #OptimistFarmer

You can feel a potato harvest cheering in the video, this farm is located in Yulin City which is also the AguaRetence used in. Through water management and regulation, Aguaretence has improved user income and cost optimization. We believe that in the future, AguaRetence will play an even more important role in contributing to the sustainable development of agriculture. #drought_resistance #water_retention #WUE #yield_increase

Where Do Soil Nutrients Go During Harvest? As we approach harvest season, it's important to consider the impact on our soil. When crops are harvested, essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and many micronutrients are removed along with the plants, leaving the soil depleted and its pH balance disrupted. Why It Matters: - Nutrient Depletion: Vital elements are stripped from the soil, affecting future crop growth. - pH Imbalance: The soil's pH can become unbalanced, impacting nutrient absorption. - Soil Health: Healthy soil is crucial for sustainable farming and bountiful harvests. Our Solution: Let's help prepare your fields now for a successful next season!
