Biochar-Dairy Manure Mixes with Dr. Touyee Thao | Field, Lab, Earth Podcast #119
Просмотров 20День назад
Dr. Touyee Thao discusses how waste from orchards and dairy farming can help improve soil properties and crop farming. Increasing food production needs can sometimes put a strain on the environment. Waste from crop and animal production can exacerbate this problem. But, when waste can be turned into a benefit, we can move closer to a world where both can thrive. In this episode of the Field, La...

Dr. Sanandam Bordoloi discusses the use of polymers made from fly ash for combatting drought in tomato. Drought can be a major problem for tomatoes, particularly in changing climates. Water-absorbant polymers can help water stay in the soil to help tomatoes thrive, but costs can make it hard for farmers to use them. In this episode of the Field, Lab, Earth podcast, Sanandam joins me to discuss ...
Plant physiologist Wendy Zellner: A Day in the Life
Просмотров 583 месяца назад
Plants have stress, too. Diseases, weather extremes, and fluctuating water availability can stress plants. This can cause lower yields and unhealthy plants. Silicon has been found to help plants combat the affects of stress. Zellner's research team has found that applying silicon to the roots helps plants the best. In this way, crop and plant physiologists can help feed the world with healthy f...

Plant breeders can help determine which plants will have the best yields. Dr. Bradish works to find types of clary sage - a relative of the spice - that have the most of a compound called sclareol. This natural, plant-based additive is further processed and goes into many household items. She looks deep within the genetic code to determine which varieties of clary sage producers should grow.

It's important for a farmer's seeds to germinate and grow healthy crops. But seeds that have a low germination rate can affect our food supply. Crops with good water have nice root growth for healthy plants. Crops exposed to drought have few. Understanding how to manage crops no matter what the weather conditions are is important.
