Food and Agriculture Organization calculates—which makes the problem of soil erosion so much more concerning. About a third of the world’s soils are currently degraded, the FAO says , and poor land management practices and hyper-industrialized agriculture is pushing that number higher. If we want good food, we need good soil.

Herbicides are essential tools in modern agriculture, helping farmers manage weed infestations and maximize crop yields. However, it’s important to ensure that the mixtures are compatible and won’t harm the crop. This strategy helps prevent weed populations from becoming resistant to specific herbicides.

Measuring a farm’s carbon footprint is not as simple as saying, “Cover crops were used, so that grain’s sustainably grown.” Different agricultural practices emit or sequester different amounts of carbon, so multiple farming practices must be considered when determining a farm’s environmental impact. Consider this scenario.

A recent study at the University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment found that replacing 40 pounds of synthetic nitrogen with Pivot Bio PROVEN® 40 can increase corn yields while reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizer. Other results from the studies indicated higher corn yields.

This includes recording weather patterns, soil conditions, irrigation practices, crop yields, and any other relevant metrics. As weather patterns become increasingly unpredictable, it's more challenging to plan crop rotations, planting, irrigation, and other tasks that depend heavily on the weather.

In agriculture, growers must work with quality earth that contains healthy levels of soil nutrients. When striving to grow lush, healthy plants that produce favourable yields, soil nutrient quality must be high. Agricultural chemical products can also speed up natural processes that further deplete soil nutrients.

Farmers widely use pesticides for controlling pest populations and diseases in agricultural production systems. However, resistance to pesticides is a significant problem in agriculture, resulting in lower crop yields and increased pesticide use, which can have negative environmental and health impacts.

Integrated pest management, or IPM, is a sustainable and environmentally-friendly approach to controlling pests in agriculture. Cultural practices that can be used in an IPM program include crop rotation, selecting pest-resistant varieties, proper irrigation and fertilization, and maintaining proper soil pH.
