Chickpea, also known as chana, is a highly nutritious pulse crop that ranks third on the list of important food legumes grown worldwide. With 25% proteins and 60% carbohydrates, it boasts the highest protein content among any pulse. Chickpea is used for making flour and as an edible seed across the globe. There are two main types of chickpea produced: Desi and Kabuli, both of which require cooler climatic conditions and a low level of rainfall for optimal growth. This crop is sensitive to excess water availability and yields best when grown on sandy, loam soils with appropriate drainage systems. In India, chickpea is seeded during the Rabi season (September to November), with the maturity period ranging from 95-110 days depending on the type. Harvesting is done when the leaves start drying and shedding and can be done with or without the help of a harvester. As a versatile and highly nutritious crop, chickpea is an important food source around the world.

Hello friends family and acquaintances today is NATIONAL PEANUT DAY | September 13! On September 13, National Peanut Day pays homage to mighty and tasty peanut. We may drive you nuts after we share some compressed information about peanuts! Likely originating in South America around 3,500 years ago, this legume is not a nut. They grow underground, like potatoes. Since they are an edible seed that forms in a pod, they belong to the family Leguminosae with peas and beans. When it comes to plants packing protein power, peanuts provide a whopping 8 grams per ounce, more than any other nut according to The Peanut Institute. And remember, it's not a nut! Nuts grow on trees. The peanut is also high in antioxidants. Not only are peanuts high in vitamins E and B6, but they're rich in minerals such as magnesium, iron, and zinc. Studies also show when paired with other nutrient-rich foods, this wonderful legume helps us absorb nutrients better, too. For the longest time, livestock gained the most significant benefit from all these nutrients. Until modern methods came along, planting and harvesting peanuts were labor-intensive and risky endeavors for farmers. Gradually their popularity grew. Civil War soldiers found a fondness for them, and so did fans of PT Barnum's traveling circus. But what made it possible for peanuts to be grown in abundance was an advancement in farm technology. Just like the cotton gin revolutionized the cotton industry, planters and harvesters transformed not only the peanut farm but farming the world over. With the rise in peanut production, there also brought an increase of curious investigation into its possible uses. When the boll weevil wreaked havoc on the South's cotton crop, Dr. George Washington Carver, made a suggestion. He had been researching this amazing groundnut and suggested farmers diversify into peanuts. It was an economic boon to Southern farmers. He published his research "How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption" in 1916. His continued research resulted in more than delicious uses for this goober, groundnut or ground pea. From shaving cream to plastics and cosmetics and even coffee, Dr. Carver's appetite for the peanut seemed to be unending. Many of the peanut discoveries Dr. Carver made 100 years ago are still being used today. #NationalPeanutDay #dallasharristips

Fruits and vegetables are important food crop worldwide. Pectobacterium carotovorum is an extremely polyphagous bacteria. Soft rot disease caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum leads to significant post-harvest losses. As example economically important crops such as tomato, potato, carrot, cabbage, cucumber, eggplant, garlic, onion, pepper, radish, and sweet potato are affected Soft rot is a predominant progressive decay characterized by tissue maceration, such that the entire fruit is damaged.

🌎📝I have a piece of farmland where I planted sweet potatoes, but unfortunately, they are not doing well. The soil is compacted, and there hasn’t been consistent rain in that area. However, I noticed something interesting: in a spot where charcoal is produced, the potatoes planted in the heaps are thriving. After some thought and research, I realized that the potatoes are flourishing in the charcoal area for a few key reasons. The ash and charcoal left behind help loosen the soil, making it easier for the potato roots to grow and access the nutrients and water they need. This also helps the soil hold moisture better, which is really helpful when it doesn’t rain regularly. Moreover, the ash provides important nutrients like potassium and calcium that support healthier plant growth. It also balances the soil’s pH, creating a more favorable environment for the potatoes to absorb nutrients. In simple terms, the leftover charcoal and ash are making the soil more fertile and easier to work with, which is why the potatoes in that area are doing so well. If I want to see similar results across the rest of my farmland, adding organic matter, ash, or biochar could help loosen the compacted soil and improve conditions for my crops. ©®📠✉️ agricconsultant995@gmail.com #EnsuringFoodSecurity #YourFavouriteFarmer 24/7 👑

Bloom is finished or nearly finished here in Texas! Setting up to be a good vintage so far! This Tempranillo is on the very edge of our vineyard in Lamesa (Canted County Vineyards) and typically is one of our earliest red varieties. Being on the windward edge also means if any herbicide has volatalized locally it is the first to show signs of it! The synthetic auxins (a plant growth regulating hormone) in the herbicide cause strange leaf formation at the shoot tips right after exposure. Typically elongation of the leaf in a “spidery” look, or “cupping” where the outside edges of the leaf curl downwards and have stringy looking tips to them. This amount of impact is not concerning to us, but it is something we have to farm accordingly to as it is an additional stressor on the plant! A bit of extra water (rain is even better) and a small hit of fertilizer usually do the trick. Some varieties are also more susceptible to showing symptoms than others! Mourvèdre can be particularly sensitive and sometimes wants to shut down vegetative growth if exposed early, so it’s wise to plant it father to the leeward side of your vineyard. Cabernet Sauvignon shows leaf symptoms, but is so vigorous it will push right through it with minimal help! Another anecdotal side affect of exposure is the potential to reduce berry sizes. This has several impacts to consider, as more bunches must be left on the vine to achieve your target yields than most would anticipate. The second is that the smaller berry size can also lead to more concentrated and intense flavors, especially in red grapes. Not to say the herbicide is a good thing, but this may be a more “neutral” side effect that must be managed to accordingly. Lastly we are working on de-suckering! This removes all the “suckers” that have grown from the base or trunk of the vine. Removing these concentrates the plant’s energy and growth into the canopy above and the fruit it is ripening, helping to keep the plant “focused” on vegetative canopy growth and fruit set/ripening through the season.

Beans seeds, the edible part of bean plants, are vital for their nutritional value and agricultural significance. Scientifically classified as legumes, bean seeds are produced within pods after successful pollination and fertilization of the plant's flowers. Structurally, bean seeds are typically kidney-shaped or oval and vary in size and color depending on the specific bean variety. #Crops
