Plant cuticle plays an important role in plant water and plant pathogen relations and has a great potential to become a crop breeding target for broad-spectrum abiotic stress tolerance. This paper identifies key tomato leaf wax and cutin monomers involved in nitrogen and salinity stresses and root suberin monomers involved in tomato salinity tolerance. https://lnkd.in/gNi_NJ46

How did we discover the need for crop nutrition? How did the modern fertilizer industry begin and how does it impact farming today?

Happy to share this new publication in the Brazilian journal Advances in Weed Science with my former Argentine colleagues from Universidad de Buenos Aires. What are the most troublesome weeds for growers in Argentina? Which herbicides are most used in summer crops (soybean, maize and sunflower) and which in winter crop (wheat)? Where do Argentine growers stand in terms of adopting integrated weed management practices? The publication discusses major weed problems, management practices, and herbicide use in the most important extensive row crops in Argentina, highlighting the reliance on chemical control and the need for integrated weed management strategies.

Corteva Agriscience introduces Hector® (Dicamba + Nicosulfuron + Rimsulfuron), its latest corn herbicide, now available in Spain Corteva Agriscience Introducing Hector®, the latest corn herbicide designed to tackle post-emergence control of both broadleaf and narrowleaf weeds. With corn playing a vital role in Spain's agricultural landscape, particularly in key regions like Castilla y León, Aragón, and Galicia, where it constitutes a significant portion of total production, effective weed management is crucial. The current challenges facing weed control in corn cultivation, including the decline of essential active substances and stringent restrictions on others, underscore the importance of Hector®'s arrival. Its broad spectrum of control, flexible application, high selectivity, and compatibility with crop rotation practices make it an appealing solution for farmers and agronomists alike. Hector® boasts a unique formulation comprising three active substances, enabling dual modes of action for weed control: ALS inhibitors (nicosulfuron and rimsulfuron) belonging to HRAC group 2, and synthetic auxins (dicamba) categorized under HRAC group 4. Additionally, to enhance its selectivity, Hector® incorporates Isoxadifen-ethyl as a safener, bolstering the crop's tolerance to the herbicide by augmenting the activity of GSTs and P450 enzymes. This innovative safener not only improves the herbicide's effectiveness but also facilitates its compatibility with Vivolt®—a non-ionic wetting agent—ensuring a harmonious integration without compromising the crop's productivity potential. With Hector®, Spanish corn growers can confidently combat weeds while safeguarding their crops' health and yield. #herbicide #weed #Dicamba #Hector #Nicosulfuron #Rimsulfuron #corn #broadleaf #narrowleaf #Spain #Castilla #Aragón #Galicia #cultivation #broadspectrum #Isoxadifen #HRAC #Vivolt #pesticide #cropprotection #cornhelth #farmers #agronomist #corteva

Combating Wireworms: Insights from the Inaugural European Wireworm Research Network Meeting On 7 July, Europatat participated in the inaugural meeting of the European Wireworm Research Network (EWRN) held in Oslo, preceding the EAPR conference. This gathering brought together a diverse group of professionals dedicated to tackling the persistent issue of wireworms in potato cultivation. Despite extensive research, no definitive solution has been found to control wireworms, highlighting the need for ongoing collaborative efforts. Understanding the Wireworm Challenge Wireworms, the larvae of click beetles (Elateridae family), pose a significant threat to potato crops, causing substantial economic damage. These pests are notoriously difficult to manage due to their prolonged larval stage, which can last several years underground, damaging tubers and reducing crop yield and quality. The economic impact of wireworm infestations is substantial, with millions of euros lost annually in the European potato sector.

In previous day, Syngenta Seeds launched a very interactive campaign to manage high temperature when it was raised to 41 to 43°C during the pollination process of Corn. Each and every Syngenta representative looking field crops added marvellous share in his vernacular language to highlight devastating effects of high temperature and its management with light and frequent irrigation along with application of urea and K²O⁵ when we have a elite genetics in shape of Sy Bambus offered by Syngenta. High yield of Corn or any other crop exclusively revolves around three factors or theory of GEN. 1. GENETICS 2. ENVIRONMENT 3. NUTRITION If any one is missing, we can't achieve our yield goals. #Bambus #Syngenta
