A more holistic way of farming By Zunel van Eeden | Farmer's Weekly. Modern-day farming experiences immense pressure to provide the necessary food resources demanded by the growing populace. This pressure has ignited renewed attention to agricultural practices that promote food production in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. However, farmers are challenged by climate change, which not only has a major impact on the success of crop production but also influences the management of agricultural pests. Increasing temperatures directly affect a pest’s ability to reproduce, survive, spread and establish. While chemical control may have been a farmer’s first response in the past, insecticide resistance has led farmers to shift to more holistic farming practices, better known as integrated pest management (IPM). https://lnkd.in/dTqERSxG #farming #agriculture #holisticfarming

CSA practices aim to have a lower environmental footprint, are more resource efficient and support an increase in income and sustainable farm production. These include interventions like improved seeds, integrated nutrient management practices, crop residue management practices, direct seeding of rice, zero tillage farming, mulching, agroforestry. #climatesmartagriculture #sustainableagriculture #carbonfootprint https://lnkd.in/dpzQw-JS

Strip-till farming improves soil health, conserves soil moisture, and improves water infiltration. It is a compromise between conventional tillage and no-till farming that offers the best of both worlds. #striptill #farming #conservation #farmmanagement #agriculture #carbon #sustainability #sustainableagriculture #agnote AgNote https://lnkd.in/dRvPjEu3

In today's fast-paced agricultural world, the importance of efficient farming practices cannot be overstated. As time is a precious commodity and is influenced by severe climatic conditions, farmers constantly look for methods that streamline their operations without compromising yield. This is where the role of no-till planting shines as a beacon of efficiency. This approach enhances soil health and ensures crops get off to the best possible start. A vital component of this method is the effective use of closing wheels for no-till planters, ensuring seeds are ideally placed for optimal growth. #NoTillPlanters
