In 2024, California grape growers are making tough decisions. With a surplus of grapes in the state, many are choosing to remove vineyards instead of farming them. With consumer preferences changing, growers are trying to adapt and meet market needs. This means a greater emphasis on profitability with whatever it is they choose to farm. 🌱 FarmX offers a range of tools to assist with this. From irrigation optimization and control to individual vine health scoring, there are tools to help growers navigate these times. 🌱 Recommended Article: https://lnkd.in/g-kYsGK7 See what we can offer at www.farmx.ag/growers #AgTech #FarmX #Vineyard #SustainableFarming #SmartAgriculture #FutureOfFarming #PrecisionAg #FarmersFirst #Agriculture #Farming #CaliforniaAgriculture #grapes #grapesfromCA

A few weeks ago, we embarked on a crucial process in our soilless farming journey at SOILESS FARM LAB. We began with the laying of our weed mat and we also continued with the process by meticulously drenching the rice hulls, our carefully selected growing media, and filling the grow bags with the saturated rice hulls after which we sterilised the media. This step was critical in creating an optimal environment for our seedlings to thrive. We then augmented the rice hulls with Coco peats, a vital addition that enhances water retention and aeration, ensuring our seedlings receive the necessary support for healthy growth. Next, we expertly installed the drip tape irrigation system, a precise and efficient method of delivering water directly to the roots of our plants, minimizing waste and maximizing yields. Finally, we secured the pipes with sturdy poles, guaranteeing a stable and reliable water supply to our crops. Each of these steps was pivotal in setting the stage for a successful harvest.#EYiAElites #EYiA #SoilessFarmLab #SoilessFarming #Hydroponics

Agree, Val. When I got more involved in the climate smart ag technology space, most of the converations were about the benefits of precision fertilizer and chemical application. Lately, much more of the discussion is about precision application of water. Now that the MINS measurement technology can collect simultaneous volumetric carbon and moisture data from the 30cm soil layer it will be interesting to see what conclusions we can draw, and how these precision irrigations sytems can be optimized. Here's hoping your programs get approved!

Benefits of Drip and Mulch Paper in Maize farming. ●Using mulching paper prevents evaporation of water. ●Growth of the plant is improved as the roots of the plant grow only up to a certain area. ●Since mulching paper is used, the water requirement of the plant is greatly reduced, thereby saving water. ●Fruit size and production is increased. How to cultivate Maize with drip irrigation and Mulch film method? ●The distance between row to row should be 1.22 m, So that air circulation increases. ●Plants need moisture, so water only when needed. ●If water is given in excess, the soil remains waterlogged, so there is no movement of air in the soil. ●If there is no air movement in the soil, plant growth stops. ●Two rows should be planted on a bed of mulch paper.

edible bentonite soil properties of edible bentonite soil: water absorption: one of the important properties of edible bentonite soil is the ability to absorb and retain water. air conditioning: edible bentonite soil also has the property of air conditioning, which helps to keep fresh air entering the soil. applications of edible bentonite soil: improvement of soil properties: using edible bentonite soil in farms and ranches improves soil properties. this soil has the ability to improve soil structure, maintain organic matter and fertility. water level reduction: edible bentonite soil has a positive effect on the soil water level. the properties of this soil are used as an absorbent to help absorb and retain water and reduce evaporation and crystallization of water in the soil. water management: edible bentonite soil is used for optimal water management. this soil can be used in placing irrigation systems under pressure using diagonal pipes and used to increase the distribution of water in the soil and reduce water waste. edible bentonite soil is a natural resource that can help improve soil and improve plant growth. by exploiting the positive properties of this soil, farmers and farmers can improve their current performance and efficiency. as a natural absorbent for water and mineral elements, this soil can play an important role in creating optimal conditions for plant growth. in addition to farm and agricultural applications, edible bentonite soil is also widely used in livestock and poultry industries. >clay_bentonite #earth_well_bentonite #sodium_bentonite #micronized_bentonite #bentonite

Building on yesterday's post about Rattan Lal's presentation at the Carbon Asset Solutions 6/27 event, one of his slides was a proposed timetable (pictured below) that calculated the time humanity has to return land and other resources to nature with this statement "By 2100, we must return half of the current land under agriculture to nature by reducing food waste, narrowing the crop-yield gap, eating a healthy diet, and promoting urban farming along with soil-less production systems." Note the trends below: 1) Fertilizer use decreases 2) Irrigated area increases 3) Cropland area decreases 4) Conservation agriculture increases 5) Grazing/rangeland decreases 6) Water use for agriculture decreases 7) Global cereal yield increases One key component he states is "by using drip irrigation (not flood or sprinklers), we can decrease water use for agriculture by increasing irrigated areas under drip irrigation." #agriculture #food #climate #water #drip #irrigation Netafim USA

How does #drip #irrigation fit into #regenerative #agriculture? Through precision water and nutrient management (fertigation), drip irrigation supports other regenerative practices. Here’s how: 1) Soil Health: Minimization of soil disturbance and erosion helps maintain soil structure and microbial communities. 2) Cover Cropping: Drip makes it easier to establish and maintain cover crops, even in drier periods. 3) No Till Farming: Drip lines can be installed with minimal soil disturbance, complementing no-till practices. 4) Crop Diversity: Drip system flexibility allows farmers to more easily grow diverse crops with different water needs in the same field. 5) Reduced Chemicals: Precision application of water and nutrients at the root zone reduces weed growth and plant stress which can decrease the need for herbicides and pesticides. 6) Agroforestry: Drip can effectively water trees integrated into agricultural systems. And of course the most well known one...Nutrient and Water Use Efficiency: Targeted nutrient and water delivery at the crop root zone reduces excess fertilizer and water application. Netafim USA

The Greenhouse Fogging or Misting system is commonly used to create an optimal growing environment for various types of plants, especially those that require high humidity levels. It is particularly beneficial in arid or dry regions where maintaining proper moisture levels can be challenging. The misting/fogging system offers precision control over humidity and temperature, helping to promote healthier plant growth, increased yield, and improved overall plant quality.
