Sorghum and sorghum-sudangrass are often used in crop rotation systems in Florida. They produce a source of forage or silage for animal feed, and many cultivars are effective in reducing population levels of root-knot nematodes, which are key nematode pests in Florida as well as many other parts of the world. This article is intended to guide agricultural professionals in making decisions about producing sorghum and its relatives for nematode management.

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and sorghum-sudangrass (S. bicolor x S. sudanense (Piper) Stapf) are often used in crop rotation systems in Florida. Not only do they produce a source of forage or silage for animal feed, but many cultivars are effective in reducing population levels of root-knot nematodes, which are key nematode pests in Florida as well as many other parts of the world. Sorghum-sudangrass (S. bicolor x S. sudanense), also known as sorghum x sudangrass, sudax, or sudex, is a hybrid between sorghum (S. bicolor) and sudangrass (S. sudanense). Specific cultivars of either sorghum, sudangrass, or sudex provide a potential for nematode management, with the hybrid having more advantages over either one of its parents. This document is ENY-716, one of a series of the Department of Entomology and Nematology, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Agronomic Crops

In Florida, nematicides are the most viable nematode management option because many growers only produce monoculture cotton and the low prices of other agronomic crops in the state make crop rotation expensive. The two primary nematicides used and recommended in Florida are Telone II and Temik 15G (Kinloch and Rich, 2000). This is EDIS document FE 318, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

Abstract This review is focused on the utilization of insects as a new opportunity in food and feed products, including their commercialization both in traditional and new markets. It has been suggested that insects are considerably more sustainable when compared with other sources of animal protein, thus alleviating the pressure over the environment and the planet facing the necessity to feed the world population, constantly increasing. Many chefs have adhered to the trend of using insects in their culinary preparations, bringing insects to the plan of top gastronomy, highlighting their organoleptic qualities allied to a recognized high nutritional value. However, in some markets, insects or insect-based products are not readily accepted because of neophobia and disgust. Moreover, the insect markets, farming, and commercialization are experiencing a huge growth, in which the domain of animal feed is undoubtedly a very strong component. The future of insects as human food and animal feed seems promising in view of the recent trends and challenges.

Research Findings

The global demands for various grains, including durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum (Desf.) Husn.), are expected to increase substantially in the coming years, due to the ever-growing human population’s needs for food, feed, and fuel. Thus, providing consistent or increased durum grain to the world market is one of the priorities for policy-makers, researchers, and farmers. What are the major achievements in agronomic advancement for durum wheat cultivation in recent decades? How might the current cropping systems be improved to increase crop yield and quality and improve resource use efficiencies while minimizing input costs and decreasing negative impact on the environment? Canada is one of the major durum wheat producers in the world, as Canada contributes about 50% to global trade of durum grain. Canada’s research achievements in durum wheat might serve as a guide for advancing the cultivation of the crop in other regions/countries on the planet. This review summarizes the major Canadian research findings in the aspects of durum wheat agronomics during the period 2001 to 2017 years. It highlights the main advancements in seeding and tillage, crop rotation and diversification, and use of pulse-induced microbiomes to improve soil health and feedback mechanisms. The genetic gain and breeding for resistance against abiotic and biotic stresses are discussed. Finally, we identified the main constraints and suggested some near-term research priorities. The research findings highlighted in this review will be of use for other areas on the planet to increase durum wheat productivity, improve soil fertility and health, and enhance long-term sustainability.

Underlying human-caused extinctions, past and present, is a vast biomass reallocation program. Before our Neolithic forebears began changing the world, biomass was distributed quite evenly among species of animals and plants. The tenure of humans has seen a marked change in this, as biomass became progressively concentrated into a small number of species—us and animals we eat. Today, 96% of all mammalian biomass consists in humans and the mammals that humans farm. An additional 70% of all avian biomass consists in domestic fowl. This biomass reallocation is the most significant driver of species extinction. The number-one driver of species extinction today is change in land use. The most significant driver of change in land use is agricultural expansion. By far the most prominent form of agricultural expansion is pastoral farming and the growing of animal feed crops. Eating animals is, therefore, the most important driver of species extinction.

Thirty crop species and cultivars were assayed in the greenhouse for efficiency as hosts of Pratylenchus neglectus and P. thornei. Hosting ability ratings were assigned using the ratio of final versus initial nematode density and also by comparing the final nematode density to that of a susceptible wheat control. Good hosts of both Pratylenchus spp. included oat ‘Monida’, chickpea ‘Myles’, and lentil ‘Athena’ and ‘Morton’. Good hosts of P. neglectus but not of P. thornei included 10 Brassica spp. (5 canola, 2 mustard, and 3 camelina cultivars), chickpea ‘Sierra’, sudangrass ‘Piper’, and sorghum/sudangrass hybrid ‘Greentreat Plus’. Good hosts of P. thornei but not of P. neglectus included lentil ‘Skyline’ and pea ‘Granger’, ‘Journey’, and ‘Universal’. Poor or minor hosts of both Pratylenchus spp. included chickpea ‘Dwelley’, pea ‘Badminton’, safflower ‘Gila’, ‘Girard’, and ‘KN 144’, sunflower ‘2PD08’, flax ‘Pembina’, eastern gamagrass ‘Pete’, and switchgrass ‘Blackwell’. Results of these assays will provide guidance for improving crop rotation and cultivar selection efficiencies.

Organic agriculture consists of environmental and human friendly productionsystems in order to reestablish the natural balance which is lost as a result ofinaccurate and excessive farming practices. In others words, instead of usingsynthetic chemical pesticides and fertilizers, organic agriculture promotes organicand green fertilization, crop rotation, soil conservation, increasing plant resistanceas well as benefitting from parasites and predators. In addition, organic farmingrefers to improving not the amount of production but the quality of it. Due to thespread of diseases caused by pesticide and hormone residue on the products, peopleshow great interest in organic agriculture so as to lead a healthier life. Total organicagricultural production in the world is 4.516.810 tons, while in Turkey it is 353.173tons. As for Turkey’s organic agriculture, Uşak province has little share in itdespite its favourable climate and location. In this study, as a methodology, weanalyzed the existing data on organic agriculture in Uşak province and in Turkey aswell as in the total production in all over the world. And then, we compared thosestatistics with each other, finding that Uşak province, however great potential ithas, hasn’t been able to reach the desired level in terms of organic agriculture. Wefocus on determining the potential of Uşak province for organic agriculture.Furthermore, we aim to define the problems of organic agriculture and to findsolutions to them in order to make organic agriculture more widespread and morepracticable.
