Doing what I love most: helping farmers understand that working alongside Nature has the capability to drastically improve the bottom-line of their activities. When the focus shifts from pumping EC towards grooming a healthy soil habitat, costs of production start dropping significantly, diseases disappear and the crop quality and quantity most likely start a journey of continuous improvement. Soil Health results in improved photosynthesis and higher return of investments for the farmer. #profitablefarming #regenerativeagriculture #respect4nature

🐝 Bzzzz. It's #PollinatorWeek! 🐦 #DYK that pollinators play a vital role in our ecosystems, economies, and agriculture? ⚠️ Unfortunately, wild pollinators are threatened by multiple external factors, such as land use change, pesticides, and climate change. With the 1-2% decline in insect populations every year, successful crop yields can diminish, thus putting human health at risk. 💡However, by taking a #OneHealth approach, we can help develop solutions that not only preserve our pollinator populations, but also the health of humanity, by promoting abundant and successful crop yields!

Efficient use of water for crops is becoming more important every year as we see climate events affect our planet. For example, Mexico is facing severe struggles with water due to current drought conditions. Our own Dr. Holly Little weighs in on using Acadian technology to improve water use efficiency in crops in this episode of Ask APH. Check out all past Ask APH episodes here: https://bit.ly/3znFa8k #Agriculture #Sustainability

💧#Water is one of our most valuable resources, and one that presents an even greater challenge for growers as we experience climate change. Having an agronomic program that incorporates solutions to optimise water use can be what saves your harvest for the year. At Rovensa Next, we have a range of water conditioner solutions, like Transformer, that are specifically designed to optimise the water dynamics in soil and improve crop growth. 🔎🔗Learn more about the role of a strong agronomic program in mitigating #abioticstress ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/d8Xcbws3 #LetsGrowGreener #CropManagement #sustainableagriculture #abioticstress

Are nematodes the most underrated creatures on earth? Key facts about them: 🪱 Nematodes are simple, worm-like creatures that are microscopic or just visible to the naked eye. 😳 They are the most abundant multicellular organisms on Earth, inhabiting diverse environments from deserts to rainforests. 🦠 Nutrient Cycling: certain nematodes feed on bacteria and fungi, helping to release nutrients locked within these microorganisms, making them more available to plants. 🪳Biocontrol Agents: Some nematodes can be used in agriculture to control pest populations by infecting and killing insect pests, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Overall, nematodes contribute significantly to soil health by aiding in nutrient cycling, controlling pest populations, and maintaining ecological balance. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Don't miss this brilliant conversation I had with Adam Swan about soil microbiology and compost on the latest Deep Seed episode, recorded live from Groundswell Agriculture a couple of weeks ago! · Search for ‘Deep Seed’ on streaming platforms · (or) click the link in the comments below ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ #soilmicrobiology #soilfoodweb #nematodes #compost #regenerativeagriculture

One of the six soil health principles we often talk about is to maximize diversity. If there's ever a time for maximum diversity in a cover crop mix, now is that time. The hot summer temps are still dominating, yet days are noticeably shorter, and warm night temps will quickly give way to cooler crisper evenings. This weather pattern creates a perfect environment for a highly diverse mix of warm and cool season cover crops.

On #WorldSoilDay, let's reflect on the paramount importance of soil fertility. Beyond being a mere substrate, soil is a dynamic ecosystem that plays a vital role in sustaining life. From agriculture 🌱 to environmental balance, healthy soil is the bedrock of a resilient planet 🌍.

1moIt was fascinating to hear about his grain bins being overweight for transport. I've heard Ian and Di Haggerty having similar experiences in low rainfall Western Australia as well as the late Eugenio Gras seeing citrus bins in Mexico being heavier than normal following a change to regenerative practices. I wonder if this is simply a case of looking at the periodic table and seeing micro/macronutrients that are heavier than nitrogen and water?
