신선 토마토 인사이트

Bayer has announced the launch of new tomato varieties that offer enhanced resistance against the Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV), one of the greatest threats to global tomato production. The new cultivars will be available later this year and are especially indicated for greenhouse cultivation, promising more lasting protection against the mutations of this virus that has been causing significant losses to producers.

Not all single-use plastics have to be a bad word, at least when it comes to tomato and vegetable production. That is what specialist Martha Mirassou, who is a physicist by training, is trying to demonstrate, having found a way to create mulching for intensive crops using biodegradable materials that can yield the same—or better—results as conventional material. The great advantage is that this bioplastic integrates into the soil and disappears. It does not remain endlessly circulating in the field. During a tour that Bichos de Campo made through the INTA La Consulta site, where the annual Tomate 2000 meeting was held, Mirassou was presenting a trial to show producers that they can avoid damaging the planet and also produce more efficiently by choosing the right material. What she is promoting is the use of mulch identical to the traditional one, which is made of polyethylene, but biodegradable. In both cases, they are single-use materials, but in one there is an environmental ...

In response to the increasing density of outbreak pests such as tomato moth and brown-winged leafhopper due to global warming and abnormal climate conditions, Jeollanam-do Province is conducting an additional demand survey for pest trap support projects to minimize damage to fruit and facility horticultural crop farms. The pest trap support project aims to attract and capture pests, reduce pest density, and minimize crop damage while alleviating farmers' financial burden. In April, the province initially supported sticky traps capable of controlling pests in 387 hectares of open fields and over 3,100 facilities across 17 cities and counties, with a total project budget of 500 million won. Through this demand survey, the province will continue to support the same scale of pest control measures.
