🌿 Comprehensive Guide to Fungicides: Classification and Applications 🌾 As a plant pathologist, I understand the importance of selecting the right fungicide for effective disease management. To help fellow agricultural professionals, I’ve compiled a detailed classification of fungicides, organized by: ✅ Chemical Groups (e.g., Azoles, Strobilurins, SDHI Fungicides, etc.) ✅ Trade Names for easier identification ✅ Target Diseases to ensure precise application ✅ Mode of Action to understand how each fungicide works ✅ Mechanism of Action to manage resistance effectively 🔬 Why is this important? This classification serves as a valuable resource for agronomists, researchers, and farmers, enabling informed decisions about crop protection strategies. By using fungicides judiciously and in rotation based on their mode of action, we can promote sustainable agriculture while combating resistance issues. 💡 I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Let’s work together to support innovation and sustainability in agriculture. #PlantPathology #Fungicides #CropProtection #SustainableAgriculture #Agronomy

Here’s a tale of two #hemp plants/crops: One grew to a huge 288cm (113 inches) plant while the other one (on the right) only at a modest 98cm (38.6 inches), both photos taken at the male flowering stage. The secret behind their growth? Only timing may be one of the reasons for the success or failure of a #hemp #crop. Guess the #Time of #Sowing (#TOS) difference for these two in number of days – the closest guess wins a shoutout on our page. But that's not all. This is about the power of GxExM (#Genotype x #Environment x #Management). Each factor plays a huge role in crop development and #yield. What do you think contributed to their #height difference? Comment with your best guess, tag a #friend who loves a good Ag mystery, or share this post to #challenge others. The more the merrier – the top commenters will be featured in our follow-up post revealing the answer and discussing the incredible GxExM of hemp cropping. #Hemp #Cannabis #Challenge #Agriculture #Genetics #Agronomy #Environment #HempGenTech #HGT

A few days ago, I shared a tale of two #hemp plants, one towering at 288cm and another at 98cm at the male flowering stage. Many of you joined the challenge to guess the difference in the Time of Sowing (TOS) and shared your thoughts on the possible reasons for their height variation. The two crops were planted less than 20 days apart. Yes, you heard that right, less than three weeks made all the difference. But there's more to the story, as many of you guessed. The Bigger Picture: GxExM (Genotype x Environment x Management) Apart from the sowing time, a key factor contributed to the significant difference in biomass was the timing of a custom blend of our #fertiliser applied at intervals of just two weeks. Time management shows how crucial every single decision is in agricultural practices and definitely in #hemp #cropping. A special shoutout to everyone for their comments and those who guessed it right AND on the importance of #inputs and #timing. This example shows the power of GxExM in determining the success of our crops. Each factor plays a critical role, and understanding their interaction can lead to breakthroughs in #agricultural #productivity and #sustainability. What's Next? What are your thoughts on the sustainability impacts of using increased N-based #fertilisers in #hemp cropping? These fertilisers typically increase #biomass, enhancing #carbon #sequestration, yet they also increase the risk of #nitrous #oxide #emissions. How do you view these trade-offs? In light of these trade-offs between increased biomass, higher greenhouse gas emissions (#GGE), and enhanced carbon sequestration, what strategies would you suggest striking a balance in sustainable hemp agriculture? Comment below, tag a friend who loves a good agricultural practice or share this post with others. The conversation continues, and your thoughts make it richer. #hemp #agriculture #GxExM #sustainability #farming

🌱 Questioning Nature’s Nitrogen Puzzle 🌱 We know that pulses and legumes have a unique partnership with Rhizobium bacteria, allowing them to fix nitrogen directly from the atmosphere. Other crops also tap into nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Azotobacter and Azospirillum. But here’s a thought—if nitrogen is one of the most vital nutrients for plant growth, could it be that nature has equipped more plants with ways to tap into this resource? 🤔 It’s hard to believe that other plant species would be left out of this incredible biological advantage. Perhaps the mechanisms are there, just beyond our current understanding. If we keep pursuing this, we might discover new insights into nitrogen uptake across different plants, potentially reshaping sustainable agriculture. 🌍 Could there be undiscovered pathways for nitrogen supply in non-leguminous crops? I’d love to hear thoughts from the community—researchers, agronomists, and curious minds alike! #SustainableAgriculture #NitrogenFixation #PlantScience #Agronomy #FoodSecurity #FutureOfFarming

How does Domalin a biostimulant, benefit apple crops by improving shape, increasing size, and protecting them from frost? Domalin is a mixture of naturally occurring biostimulants: gibberellic acid, which causes cell enlargement and elongation, and 6-Benzyladenine (6-BA) which promotes cell division. These effects only take place in plant tissues and only during the very early development of the fruitlet. The result is a larger fruit with more cells and larger cells. #SustainableFarming #CropProtection #HealthyHarvest #peptech #peptechbio #micronutrient #peptechbiosciences #agriculture #farming #micronutrients #farmers #cultivation #fertilizer #biosolutions #biostimulants #agronomy #trialresults #sustainableagriculture #micronutrient #agronomist #micronutrients
