Reschke: World events are ‘unprecedented’ only from our perspective
Peter Reschke Share Adjust Comment Print I hear a lot of people referring to the current health crisis enveloping us as “unprecedented”. That’s true, of course, from our perspective because most of us younger than 75 have never really experienced a significant hardship. We have been amazingly fortunate. But if we look back just one or two generations we find individuals who endured times that were so much more difficult than what we’re facing right now.
Tissue testing can reveal the ‘hidden hunger’ that sets plants back
Jack Legg: “The more material we have, the higher the accuracy.” When you want to know how much in the way of nutrients the soil can provide, you take a soil test. But to determine how much of that fertility actually made it into the plant you have to look a little higher. That’s where a tissue test comes in. It can be a valuable diagnostic tool but “not enough growers are taking advantage of it,” Jack Legg of SGS Agri-Food Labs in Guelph told the recent Southwest Ag Conference at Ridgetown.
Pesticides banned due to impact on bees
Share Adjust Comment Print French regulators have banned a couple of pesticides that are still widely used in the United States because of their impact on bees. According to a Farm Journal article, the ban followed a court case that rules the pesticides, which contain sulfoxaflor, pose a major toxicity risk to pollinators. The Transform and Closer brands had initially been cleared by France’s food and safety agency but have not been sold since a court ruling in 2017.
New vaccine will stop the spread of bovine TB
Share Adjust Comment Print Badgers all over Britain are applauding after researchers at the University of Surrey developed a novel vaccine and complementary skin test to protect cattle against bovine tuberculosis (bovine TB).
Scientists use agricultural waste to develop new road deicer
(Getty Images) Share Adjust Comment Print Traditional deicers keep our roads safe for winter travel but they’re hard on infrastructure and the environment. Now, a group of Washington State University researchers believe they’ve come up with a safer alternative that’s just as effective – an extract made from grape skins and other agricultural waste. Their work is published in the December issue of the Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering.
U.S. farmers move away from wheat as profits plummet
(File photo) Share Adjust Comment Print U.S. farmers are turning away from wheat amid poor prices and low profit margins, according to an AgWeb report. The report quotes Oklahoma State University Extension economist Kim Anderson as saying profits are virtually “non-existent.” The result could be the lowest wheat acreage in 110 years. In 2019, all wheat acres totalled 45.2 million, a five per cent drop from 2018. That compares to 65 million acres just a decade earlier.
New research offers promising start on combatting leaf rust infection resistance
Share Adjust Comment Print Researchers in Saudi Arabia have identified genes that offer resistance to leaf rust infection in cereal crops. The work, headed by scientists at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), could mean greater food security as more durably disease-resistant varieties hit the market. The cereal-rust relationship is complex since, although all cereals belong to the grass family, each crop species is infected by only one specific type of rust.
Why is corn dropping test weight?
Share Adjust Comment Print Weather has once again thrown a damper on Ontario’s long drawn-out corn harvest. A weekend storm that brought heavy snow to some areas, freezing rain to other, brought combines to a halt and brought down already weakened corn stalks. Added to the list of issues is the fact that the remaining crop, while slowly drying down, is also losing test weight. It’s an unusual phenomenon that has agronomists puzzled.
