Plant Health Monitoring: The 5 Most Important Factors to Check
As a hydroponic grower, plant health monitoring is a crucial aspect of ensuring your plants thrive and produce high yields. In this blog, we'll discuss the key factors to monitor and how to address common plant deficiencies.
Biological Seed Treatment Offers a Proactive Solution to the Rising Threat of Red Crown Rot in Midwest Soybeans
Originally confirmed in U.S. peanut production in the 1960s, Red Crown Rot was first detected in soybean crops in the southern U.S. during the 1970s. The disease has now been identified in 11 soybean-producing states.
MSU researchers develop low-cost sensors to help farmers irrigate more efficiently, manage diseases
With LOCOMOS, the in-field sensors measure soil moisture, leaf wetness and other environmental conditions. The data is then analyzed by software that generates precise irrigation recommendations and delivers them to growers via an easy-to-use smartphone app.
Disease in the field: The dilemma of choosing between fast and accurate tests
Drought, severe weather, fire - they all reduce yields, but disease is far and away the biggest barrier to achieving a more bountiful harvest. Worldwide, plant diseases and pests account for up to 40% of the yield losses in key crops.
