Uptake of GPS is more widespread, but this hasn't stopped them using precision agriculture services, which supplies field-level recommendation maps. [ 31 ] While digital technologies can transform the landscape of agricultural machinery, making mechanization both more precise and more accessible, non-mechanized production is still dominant in ...
Alfalfa seed production requires the presence of pollinators when the fields of alfalfa are in bloom. [5] Alfalfa pollination is somewhat problematic, however, because western honey bees , the most commonly used pollinator, are less than ideal for this purpose; the pollen-carrying keel of the alfalfa flower trips and strikes pollinating bees on ...
Rapeseed (Brassica napus subsp. napus), also known as rape and oilseed rape, is a bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family), cultivated mainly for its oil-rich seed, which naturally contains appreciable amounts of mildly toxic erucic acid. [2]
In video games using procedural world generation, the map seed is a (relatively) short number or text string which is used to procedurally create the game world ("map"). "). This means that while the seed-unique generated map may be many megabytes in size (often generated incrementally and virtually unlimited in potential size), it is possible to reset to the unmodified map, or the unmodified ...

Melampyrum arvense, commonly known as field cow-wheat, is an herbaceous flowering plant of the genus Melampyrum in the family Orobanchaceae. [1] It is striking because of the conspicuous spike of pink or purple terminal bracts which includes the flowers. The Latin specific epithet arvense means "growing in cultivated fields". [2]
Flowering big bluestem, a characteristic tallgrass prairie plant. The tallgrass prairie is an ecosystem native to central North America.Historically, natural and anthropogenic fire, as well as grazing by large mammals (primarily bison) provided periodic disturbances to these ecosystems, limiting the encroachment of trees, recycling soil nutrients, and facilitating seed dispersal and germination.
The Morrow Plots were begun in 1876 by Professor Manly Miles, [7] who established three half-acre fields with different crop schemes. These were expanded to ten plots in 1879 by George E. Morrow . At first, record keeping was not of the highest caliber, but by the turn of the 20th century it was clear that crop rotation was a useful component ...
