Mitigating heat stress in heifers to prevent stock losses
A three-year pilot project led by The University of Queensland has shown installing shade structures in largely treeless paddocks could increase calf survival rates.Led by Senior UQ Research Fellow Dr Kieren McCosker, the project evaluated the animal impact of feedlot-grade shelters installed close to water points in relatively treeless Mitchell grass-down country in the Barkly region

Fertiliser nitrogen in a net zero world - perspectives from broadacre cropping industries
Переглядів 4633 місяці тому
The nitrogen (N) required to grow crops is closely correlated to the yield potential of those crops, so higher yields require greater crop N uptake. Most cropping soils exhibit declining soil organic matter, with less organic N mineralised to meet crop N demand. Atmospheric N fixation by legumes and recycling organic wastes can meet some of this growing N deficit, but synthetic N fertilisers in...

    Have you considered chemical speciation of CO2 on your modles of increased CO2 in global warming? My forest doubled in hight with the smoke of the fires months before the fire arrived here. That indicated to me that carbon building molecules weren't accessible to the trees like they are from smoke from bushfire as opposed to fossil fuel emitions etc. Has this hypothesis been tested? Or assumed to be used/accessible to plants like historically.

    • @charlesmrader
      @charlesmrader Рік тому

      You mean Bayer because Monsanto doesn't exist anymore. I winder whether the glyphosate lawsuits represent fairness. At most two or three cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can be connected to glyphosate exposure. I've seen how this can work when people just believe what they have heard. Back in 1996, I got a flyer from Greenpeace detailing all sorts of problems with herbicide tolerant soybeans. I knew nothing then about genetic engineering or about glyphosate. I was a little surprised because back in 1975, scientists doing experiments on gene transfer in bacteria were extremely cautious and had actually stopped all experimenting for a whole year while they developed safety protocols, and I wouldn't have expected those researchers to tolerate Frankenstein science. But the flyer also said that glyphosate had been linked to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and there was a reference to a scientific paper written by two Swedish epidemiologists named Hardell and Eriksson. At that time I was trying to learn Swedish and I thought it would be cool to try to read their paper. In fact, it was in English. Here is what they had done. They identified two groups of people, 400 with nHL and 700 without that disease. They gave both groups a questionnaire. It had a list of several hundred agricultural chemicals and asked each participant to indicate whether he/she had been exposed to that chemical. Exactly four in each group had been exposed to glyphosate. For some of the chemicals, the relationship was much stronger. But for glyphosate, 1% of the nHL cases had any relationship to glyphosate and 0.57% of healthy people had been exposed to glyphosate . Hardell and Eriksson wrote specifically that this was NOT statistically significant. So how does this get referenced by Greenpeace as glyphosate "linked to glyphosate"? Here's the link - it was in the list of chemicals they studied! Greenpeace made a truthful statement but it was still a lie. Over the years, I have found many examples of the same trick in propaganda writing. I would be dishonest myself if I didn't disclose that Hardell and Eriksson over the next several years gathered a lot more data and with enough data they concluded that the link between glyphosate and nHL WAS statistically significant. But the data set quite conclusively says that most cases of nHL are caused by something else. Final comment - what children were killed by GMO crops?

    The WHO, EPA, EFSA AND 281 other agencies all say GMOs and glyphosate are safe. Full global consensus. All 284 global health and safety agencies agree. Yes, this is the mother of all GMO safety citations: www.siquierotransgenicos.cl/2015/06/13/more-than-240-organizations-and-scientific-institutions-support-the-safety-of-gm-crops/ On the linked page is a hyperlink of proof for each of those 284 agencies.
