In recent years, there has been a growing interest in regenerative agriculture, a holistic approach to farming that seeks to restore and revitalize the land while improving crop yields and overall farm profitability. This means increased crop yields and reduced inputs like fertilizers and pesticides.

Overapplying readily available N can also interfere with the uptake of other nutrients and lead to yield drag and profit loss, just as underapplying can. This sets up a situation where a pesticide treatment may be needed, which knocks out beneficial biology that could keep pathogens in check, which leads to a downward spiral of degradation.

Healthy soil can mean increased yields (and profits) as well as fewer inputs like fertilizer or pesticides. One common method is the traditional or sequential crop rotation, where different crops are grown in a planned sequence over a period of years. Soil health is a holistic measure of soil function.

Suppressing pests and disease Much of pest management in conventional systems relies on synthetic pesticides, often alongside genetically modifying a single variety for resistance to sprays, in the case of herbicides. Rotating crops also significantly reduces pests and diseases.

And when nitrates are present, it’s inevitable that other contaminants, such as pesticides , are also polluting the water. The cost can be prohibitive, and it can be tricky to fit them into a conventional row-cropping system. Research shows that allowing cover crops to grow to significant heights can dramatically reduce pollution.

One way to reduce agricultural chemicals is planting cover crops in the Fall after the cash crop is harvested. Winter cover crops could mean using less fertilizer and herbicide in the Spring. The type of herbicide depends on which cover crop is used and the timing for spring planting. But the crop duster did.

He manipulates weather patterns to bring on drought and extreme temperatures, summons pests that are resistant to pesticides, and degrades the soil. A great example is Oerth Bio’s work to develop PROTACs that will help crops manage through environmental stressors without losing yield.
