Western Region Certified Crop Advisers’ Post

Another chapter in Advances in Agronomy (Elsevier; Q1, Impact Factor = 9.265) Congratulations to all authors for successful publication and gratitude for the uncounted sleepless nights and care during this whole publication process. Article DOI: https://lnkd.in/gDkApcaS

New paper Congratulations on the acceptance of your manuscript, and thank you for submitting your work to Agronomy: Title: Beauveria bassiana and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strains as Gossypium hirsutum seed coatings: Evaluation of Bioinsecticidal and Biostimulant Effect on Semi-field Conditions

Can High Humidity Disrupt Pollen Shed in Corn? This is a question that I got in 2023. Theoretically yes, but the actual likelihood of this happening is a little harder to pin down. I tackle this question on Page 114 of the Pioneer Agronomy Book. https://lnkd.in/gS4ikktH

Alhumdulillah! My recent published article, which delves into the intricate relationship between greenhouse conditions and inflorescence development, has been published in the journal of agronomy (impact factor 3.7 and citation score 5.2). Link to the article. https://lnkd.in/d-QSFpXv

Introduction to the Plant Microbiome on Page 91 of the Pioneer Agronomy Book – admittedly a somewhat dry, academic title. But with the wave of new biological products on the market, it’s important to understand some of the basics of how plants and microbes interact. https://lnkd.in/gS4ikktH

Interestingly I have noticed the right side orientation in one of our testing fields last season while flying the drone for plot quality trait. Almost the entire fied have shown same pattern as shown in the right side picture, the right side orientation is very much helpful for V2 stage plot quality flights, with no overlapping of neighbour seedlings, therefore the PQ trait data quality will improve tremendously. Feeling nostalgic while looking at the below pictures.

Does Corn Seed Orientation in the Furrow Matter? I get this question every year. It’s one of those fascinating agronomic questions that so far has defied a conclusive answer. I review what we know on Page 16 of the Pioneer Agronomy Book. https://lnkd.in/gS4ikktH

The engineers need to build us crop scientist a planter capable of seed orientation so we can understand genetic x management x environment interactions. Seed orientation my have a fit in some management systems/environments but we won’t know until we can run experiments at scale.

happy to share my certificate of reviewing for MDPI publisher, specifically, for Agronomy journal
