This document discusses the increasing popularity and benefits of using cover crops in agriculture. It notes that farmer interest and communication, as well as support from seed vendors, have driven a cover crop revolution. While cover crops provide benefits like erosion control and nitrogen fixation, they also require additional management and can interfere with equipment or crop growth if not implemented properly. The document provides answers to common questions about selecting and establishing cover crops and evaluates the costs and returns of different cover cropping programs.

Crop planning for sustainable vegetable production 2016 Pam DawlingPam Dawling
A step-by-step approach to closing the planning circle, so that you can produce crops when you want them and in the right quantities, so you can sell them where and when you need to and support yourself with a rewarding livelihood while replenishing the soil. Never repeat the same mistake two years running!
Cover crops for vegetable growers Pam DawlingPam Dawling
Using cover crops to feed and improve the soil, smother weeds, and prevent soil erosion. Selecting cover crops to make use of opportunities year round: early spring, summer, fall and going into winter. Fitting cover crops into the schedule of vegetable production while maintaining a healthy crop rotation
Bangladesh is situated in the subtropical region of the world and has enough opprtunities for commercial vegetable cultivation. Near about 65-70 vegetable crops are grown here. Besides domestic consumption Bangladesh is now exporting fresh vegetables in the European and Middle East countries. Therefore,utilizing breeding techniques a lot of more productive, disease resistant, good quality varieties of different vegetable crops can be developed here in Bangladesh. These new varieties can promote the Agro-Industry sector as well. Here brief descriptions of two important crops Tomato & Hot pepper which has the potetiality to provide support to the industry sector has been elaborated. AVRDC- The World Vegetable Centre has kindly supplied the germplasms and utilizing breeding techniques new tomato hybrid has been developed at BRAC while through adaptive trial one promising hot pepper hybrid has been identified in the BRAC Agricultural Research & Development Centre. #suggested link of my you tube video on research activities on eggplant at BARDC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ3P5fTr7GU&t=1s

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

21. Cover crop FAQ on FARMWEEKNOW.COM
Q. Which cover crops collect/remove nitrogen (N) the quickest or most efficiently?
Q: How do I determine which cover crops are best suited for my soils and typography?
Q. What is the carbon-nitrogen penalty, meaning how many units of carbon to how
many units of nitrogen? How do I account for that?
Q. I am just starting to grow cover crops. Which ones are easier to start with? Which
ones should I stay away from?
Q. Can I plant cover crops on fields in continuous corn?
Q: Which cover crops are better for weed control?
Q. We’ve had trouble getting a good stand of cover crops the last two years. Last year,
we planted cereal rye and radishes on the corn ground going into soybeans. We
planted cereal rye, radish and crimson clover with a plane on ground going into corn.
Our fields are in northeast St. Clair County.
Q. A Monmouth farmer asks, “Is there a better product and/or faster working product
than what I’m doing if the rye has any size to it? Burndown of annual rye is frustrating
and slow. I was told to always use Roundup 32-44 oz., 1 pt. 24-D, A.M.S. on the first
trip. Then the second trip put down my residual. Sometimes with the wet and busy
spring, it is tough to fit in. I want to keep a cover crop on in the winter.”
Q: When cover crops decompose, what amounts of nitrogen do they contribute back
into the soil?
Q: What should I consider about reliability of cover crop seed sources? What about
seed mixes?

52. Opportunities for planting cover crops
• Dormant seeding early or late winter
• Frost seeding
• In the spring
• When planting summer crops
• Prevent plant scenarios
• Before canopy closure
• After small grains
• After vegetables
• After seed corn or silage corn
• Aerial or high clearance seeding into standing crops in late
summer/early fall as canopy opens
• After early corn/bean grain harvest
• After full season corn/bean grain harvest
57. I run a delayed burn down..... Usually mid to late May.
I have switched back to older chems..... I miss the Callisto, we’re supposed to
only get a few weeks residual, but 2yrs ago I seeded some clover every week til
August..... In August, still fried clover after emergence. With that said, I did
have a bunch of clover pop the next spring, just doubt I got much benefit from
it..... Since it showed up about the week I sprayed.

65. With hairy vetch, a rule of thumb is to cut a
4-foot-by-4-foot area and weigh it. Then
multiply the weight by 25 to calculate total
nitrogen produced. Figure half of that is
available to crop in next 60 days. If the vetch is
tilled into soil, more nitrogen is available sooner.
