Different Tylage Methods for Treflan Herhicide Controlling Weed

There are not many workers to cut acres full weeds to make the farm look organized. So to fix the solution, farmers use chemicals to kill the weeds. This solution makes it easier for the farmers to use because the process is fast. Another problem is that there are pest such as rats, birds, and other creatures that ruins farmers product. Pest tends to enter the farm and eat the products and will come back for more. Pest can also enter the farm and ruin the farm. Killing or removing the pest is the only way to fix the solution. But removing one by one is difficult. Using chemical to remove all the pest is the best way. Same method goes to removing all the insects and bugs. Insects and bugs are feeding on vegetables and fruits. Insect and bugs can ruin vegetable and fruits because when they are feeding on the product they tend to ruin the quality of the product. No one is going to buy a lettuce that is eaten by insects or fruits that has black spots. This causes the increases of all the products from being

Since prehistory, plowing has been seen as a required practise for farmers everywhere, and there is good reason for its ubiquity. Traditional farming can benefit the environment, health of consumers, and economy. Conventional tillage pairs easily with organic farming, which is potentially better for the environment and for the health of people or animals eating the crops. Organic farms limit the concentration of herbicides on the crops by using plows to cut down on weed populations without synthetic chemical treatments. Organic

his experiment showed the effect of the active ingredients of the weedkiller Roundup and the effect that it has on Daphnia at different water temperatures. At the conclusion of this experiment it was found that the active ingredients in the weed killer did indeed have an effect on the Daphnia but 26 degrees Celsius its effectiveness doubled

The total sample size would be 300 including vegetable growers (community gardens and allotment gardens), policy makers, managers/owners of ethnic stores, formal seed stores and the planned sample size would be 168 at 2% significance level. However, the sample size could be varied due to some restrictions such as limited amount of time and the unavailability of stakeholders and natural calamities. The findings from this sample, therefore, will be generalized to the population.

A farmer grows these soybeans which then only require one application of weed killer instead of multiple applications, reducing production cost and limiting the dangers of agricultural waste.

To prevent resistance to herbicide, farmers are required to vary herbicide use and practice crop rotations.

Bt(bacillus thuringiensis) cotton, is used by many farmers and producer as a pesticide. It is a genetically engineered cotton created by scientists by altering the genetic code of cotton seeds. It’s competency is still to be determined. Bt cotton is the most efficient pesticides being that it kills insects without the use of spray which saves us fuels like water and more importantly oil. A cheap cost and the lessening need for pesticide helps farmers, both expense wise and time wise.

One concern about pesticides and herbicide usage is the amount of residues left on the end product of crops sprayed with the chemicals, and their effects on human health. (Williamson, 2007, p. 184). However, these effects are closely tested and levels are strictly regulated to ensure there is no danger from possible pesticide residues. Since 1910, many rules, regulations, and agencies have been formed to monitor the safety of the pesticides and herbicides used in conventional farming. These chemicals must meet specific safety standards in order to be registered for use, and regulations on levels of each product safe for use are also put in place. (Tafel et al.,2007, p.184). All pesticides are rigorously examined to ensure they have no significant effects on human health, or the environment. The residues in the food chain are closely monitored, and regularly tested, to ensure they are below legal limits. In a recent survey of residues

Herbicides tolerant crops are made to tolerate certain a large variety herbicides, which kill the surroundings and crops of farmers. Another reason why is because make it easier conventional plant breeding

Many varieties of genetically engineered crops have been designed to decrease the need for chemicals, particularly pesticides. Herbicide-tolerant varieties are among the most widely used type of genetically-modified crop, which enables farmers to use a single herbicide to eradicate weeds rather than rely on a cocktail of pesticides and herbicides. Eliminating weeds in this fashion also decreases the need for soil tillage, which can negatively impact soil ecology. (Ford,

Companies and researchers alternate the genetic structure of crops to withstand pesticides, non-GM weeds and insects can gradually develop a resistance to the chemicals. At this point farmers actually have to increase their use of pesticides. These practice causes weed populations to adapt to the herbicide and eventually become resistant to it. Once these superweeds emerge farmers must find a new herbicides and more potent products.

In this reference work by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Community Outreach & Education Program, I gathered information mostly about pesticides used in conventional farming techniques. With their concentration on pesticides the EHP gave information about the different effects of pesticides on organic and conventional foods. Providing even

The “busts” occur because, by forcing a plant to have the highest yield it cause most of the energy to go into growing and not natural defense. To counteract the lower defenses, farmers heavily utilize pesticides. The Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources dubs heavy pesticide use as the “kill ‘em dead” approach which does kill non resistant pests however, pesticide usage selects the resistant strains (Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources). By using pesticides a feedback loop comes to fruition as pesticides increase resistance among pests while farmers find different pesticides in the hopes of staying one foot ahead. Trap cropping has been shown as a solution to the pesticide usage problem. While working towards a PhD in horticulture Jude Boucher, from the Tolland County Extension Office at the University of Connecticut, he experimented with trap cropping (SARE). Boucher set up a system where hot cherry pepper plants were planted around a crop of sweet bell peppers creating a “poisoned fence” protecting the bell pepper crop. By using trap cropping Boucher could use small and well-timed applications of pesticides resulting in a 90% decrease in pesticide use (SARE). Other farmers have also used trap cropping and have found an 18% increase in vine crop yields, a 96% decrease in pesticide use,

Genetically Modified insect resistant crops produce the toxic substances as a results it effect non-target organism and entire ecosystem. Biodiversity has significant role to balance environment as biodiversity decreases interaction between species decrease and ecosystem and food chain affect adversely.
