Unlocking Potato Storage Potential: How the StSN2-StBIN2 Interaction Could Revolutionize Dormancy Control For the potato industry, managing tuber dormancy is crucial to maintaining both the quality and longevity of stored potatoes. Dormancy, the natural phase that delays sprouting after harvest, is essential for preserving seed viability and ensuring potatoes remain market-ready. However, premature sprouting remains a significant challenge, causing post-harvest losses that impact farmers and producers worldwide. […] https://lnkd.in/eHKcVqcY

Bioplan trials in sugarcane plantings in North Queensland. We have been working with growers to devise measureable solutions to improve crop growth parameters and improve nutrient use efficiency. This integrated approach utilises nutrients, biologicals, and improving plant growth. The end results should result in agronomic, economic, and environmental benefits. We'll keep you all in the loop as we get the data. #bioplan #measuremeasuremeasure

Improving nutrient use efficiency and environment impacts of agriculture is not a silver bullet solution. Yet the government and many suppliers are looking for one. Look at the inefficiencies of a process, measure them, and understand how they interlock. It's only then will an integrated solution present itself. In this case we are looking at the most efficient form of nutrients for the paddock, utilising biology to help solubilise nutrients and improve plant parameters, then getting the plant to increase root mass so that it can access all of the inputs more efficiently. Now you have an integrated solution that has the best chance of success. #measuremeasuremeasure #dataisking #nosilverbullet #bioplan #takingthebsoutofbiology

Want Consistently Sweet Watermelons? Syngenta has the answer! Pre-harvest Brix testing, conducted 2-3 weeks before harvest, provides a scientific approach to measuring sugar content, taking the guesswork out of a perfect watermelon harvest. Benefits of Pre-Harvest Brix Testing: Informed Harvest Decisions: Testing allows you to plan harvests at the perfect moment for optimal sugar content. Consistent Sweetness: It promotes a consistent level of sweetness across your watermelon crop. Improved Fruit Quality: Testing helps identify watermelons that have reached peak quality for superior taste and marketability. Watch the full video to delve into the science of Brix testing and how it can revolutionize your watermelon harvest. https://bit.ly/4aqGNPp #SyngentaVegetableSeeds #Watermelon #Agriculture #BrixTesting

Did you know that the wheat genome contains around 17 billion base pairs and more than 100,000 genes? This complexity makes research into this important cereal particularly challenging, yet it also offers a huge opportunity 🌱. Baking wheat 🥖 needs nitrogen to develop the proteins necessary to attain high quality. In conventional farming, this nitrogen is supplied through mineral fertilizers. The aim of plant breeding is to develop nutrient-efficient wheat varieties that deliver high-quality baking results even with a lower protein content or with reduced fertilizer use 🚜. For a research project on the development of sustainable baking wheat varieties, Cem Özdemir, German Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture, formally presented KWS and other project partners with the grant approval.
