𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐗-𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞® 𝐂.𝐆.𝐎.? 🍋 To effectively manage CFM, it is crucial to interrupt the life cycle of adult moths before they mate, thus preventing the need for chemical treatments. X-Mate® C.G.O. is the only biological product that can control the adult CFM stage.     Its long-term use controls overlapping generations, resulting in a significant reduction in pest population numbers. #citrusflowermoth #prayscitri #citruspests #responsiblepestmanagement #IPM #InsectScience

𝘊𝘳𝘺𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘦𝘮𝘶𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘻𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘪, also known as the mealybug destroyer, is a vital component of biological control against mealybug outbreaks in grapes 🍇🐞. As a natural predator, it actively consumes mealybugs, reducing the need for chemical intervention. By introducing 𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗯𝘂𝗴 into the crop, growers can manage mealybug populations effectively: https://lnkd.in/gXHsZAb #biocontrol #crops #WeworkforGrowers

Foaming filamentous organisms can be a problem and become a greater challenge during winter months. Running longer sludge ages to maintain slow growing AOB/NOB populations in winter months, also opens the door for the foaming filamentous bacteria. https://lnkd.in/ghKwZeS2

🌱 Celery Trial in Santa Maria 🌱 We’re excited to follow our latest celery trial in Santa Maria, where we’re using RDX-N with a reduced nitrogen program—approximately 20% reduction through the crop cycle. With an initial application at transplant, we’re aiming to show how bio-stimulant technology can support nutrient uptake, crop quality, and resilience with a reduction in synthetic nitrogen. RDX-N is the latest Redox breakthrough, allowing growers to cut nitrogen use by up to 50% while maintaining or even improving crop yield and marketable quality. Stay tuned for harvest results! #Redox #SustainableAg #Biostimulants

Is it necessary to add water to ProvaStride in order to activate its ingredients? Our TAC team is asked this question weekly, so we decided it was time to address it.

Hi, my LinkedIn friends, Since the time we started working on the sensor technology for soil nutrient monitoring, we have been reading about various protocols, methods, soil extractants, etc, for different soil parameters. Today I thought to get some insights on the widespread nitrogen testing Kjeldahl method. The Kjeldahl method, named after its Danish inventor Johan Kjeldahl, is a classic technique for determining nitrogen content in various samples. It involves digestion, distillation, and titration. Could you tell me why it continues? Perhaps because it’s like an old library—full of wisdom, meticulously cataloged. Its accuracy and versatility make it a stalwart companion for scientists and food analysts. Question: What is the Kjeldahl method, and why has it stood the test of time? What is the future? #soiltest #organicfarming #precisionagriculture

Interesting news Article on BBC Breakfast this morning. I think it goes someway to answering the question "When can producing Blueberry Muffins be R&D for tax relief?" When they are being developed from converted Green Algae, that has been through a proprietary biological engineering process to convert into a protein rich powder, that can be used as an egg and milk substitute!! #BlueberryMuffins #RandD #RnDTaxCredits
