Do you take field records of your crops for herbicide use? If not… You probably should! 🌾 One of the earliest and simplest steps in implementing a herbicide resistance strategy in your crop is developing and maintaining field records. This can be done digitally or in a notebook. A dedicated record organizes all of the information related to a specific field and its management into one convenient document where it can be easily reviewed, used to correlate trends and used to make management decisions. It’s never too late to stars a field record! Even if a formal record has never been kept in the past, writing down as much detail as can be recalled from previous years to populate a new record will still provide plenty of valuable information to establish a baseline. These records can also highlight one-off events in the field history that may effect weed management and resistance strategies and management. Was this helpful?

Prof. Ferdi Meyer (BFAP) highlighted that the South African grain industry has seen massive percentage growth in production, outpacing its global competitors (Brazil, Argentina, USA). What has driven this increased growth? Prof. Meyer attributes it to the introduction of new cultivars, thanks to SACTA and various breeding and seed companies. Another important reason for the increase is the adoption of improved farming practices by South African farmers. One example he mentions in his presentation is the ongoing Data Intensive Farming Management (DIFM) project, a multi-stakeholder initiative involving BFAP, the University of Illinois, DSI, TIA, GSA, and precision agriculture farmers. While high yields have been the primary aim for farmers, there is a growing realization that the yields providing the highest return on investment (ROI) are becoming more important. This project tests over 2000 replicates on one farm, evaluating factors such as seeding rates and fertilizer application rates to determine what gives the best ROI. Once this system or practice is well understood, it will be rolled out to other commercial farmers and small-holder farming communities to use data to help improve production. #SACTA #SACTAInformationSession #GrainIndustry #Agriculture #SouthAfrica #CropProduction #FarmingPractices #Innovation #ROI #DIFM #BFAP #PrecisionAgriculture #Farming #SeedCompanies #AgriculturalResearch

Biologicals are increasingly being integrated into crop programs. In fact, a recent survey showed that 45 percent of farmers in the U.S. report having used one or more biological products in their row crop production methods and realized success metrics such as increased yield and profitability as a result. Boomer Cardinale believes this is "further evidence that biologicals are quickly becoming tools of the trade. We attribute this upswing to overall biosolution acceptance, increased field trials, integrated programs and expertise all delivered at the local farm level."  Read on to learn why interest in biologicals continues to grow.   #agriculture #crophealth #farming #biologicals https://lnkd.in/eXwv_gQE
