Flooding isn’t strictly necessary for rice to grow – it’s an efficient way of preventing the spread of invasive weeds. It’s so fundamental to how many rice farmers operate that it’s not easy to imagine it being grown any other way. IPM involves the use of multiple strategies to manage pests, diseases and weeds in a way that minimises harm to human health and the environment. These strategies may include biological controls, crop rotation, the use of resistant varieties and cultural practices. IPM can reduce pesticide use, improve crop yields and protect natural ecosystems. Food producers face uncertainty as droughts, floods and storms become more frequent and rising temperatures lead to more disease, pests and weeds. Here are five examples from around the world. 1. 1. Alkama: uses a biological crop treatment called FITS (Factory-In-The-Soil), a complete liquid ecosystem of soil microbiology designed to produce high-yield-crops that are cost-efficient for farmers without fertilizer, pesticides, or fungicides: but instead uses fungi, bacteria, nematodes and protozoa in the production of plants, wheat and barley to overcome crop stress. Robotics is another game changer for smart farming. Being able to programme a robot to sow and remove weeds automatically across many acres of fields – some tools can kill 300,000 weeds per hour – saves farmers considerable time, stress and physical strain, for example. Regenerative agriculture can improve the health, nutrition, biodiversity, and carbon storage of soil and land that has been degraded by intensive agriculture. I’m very much against neat lawns because they have very little benefit for biodiversity. They’re usually dominated by just a few grass species. Any flowering plants that pop up in the middle of the lawn are considered weeds, and they're removed. Weeds can be nutritious and tasty, if we know which ones to pick. As the global population grows, they can be a reliable food source. Their ability to capture carbon can help tackle climate change. Weeds can also assist farmers by identifying soil problems to boost yields. Drought not only threatens crops directly, but also creates a welcoming environment for weeds like Palmer Amaranth — known as “the king of weeds.” To tackle this, researchers are using AI to unearth crop protection that is safer and more effective than what’s available on the market today. More than 1 billion data points (vision, weight, temperature, development, speed, weather, composition) are captured daily and fed into a proprietary predictive model to optimize insect breeding and rearing conditions.

2025.01.18 23:51 cucudas 2024 rx350 wireless charger
My car charges consistently without disconnecting, but it’s incredibly slow, only about 1% every 30 minutes. Is that normal? Why haven’t they addressed this issue, especially considering they charge hundreds for adding this feature? I can’t tell if they’re cutting costs by installing subpar chargers or if they simply don’t understand how it should work. Should I email them about it? I imagine others have already complained.

Has anyone used Softacort for dry eyes? What experiences has light steroid helped to eliminate dry eyes? I'm afraid to use it because I read that it causes an increase in eye pressure. I think it's a bit high for me because it was 19 and 20 during the examination. Thanks for the answers!

2025.01.18 23:51 Appropriate_Bake396 I UPLOADED A YEAR WORTH OF UPDATES INTO CHATGPT
For anyone wondering what’s going on with the company, this is what I got ChatGPT to distil it down to in an easy to read format:
So, GlucoTrack is a biotech company working on something potentially game-changing: a long-term implantable glucose monitor for people with diabetes. Imagine a device that can track blood sugar levels continuously without needing wearables or daily calibrations. If they pull this off, it could make a huge impact in the diabetes care market, which is worth billions.
Now, their stock is trading at a really low price right now, and here’s why:
Dilution: They recently issued a lot of new shares through warrant exercises. While this caused the price to drop, it also gave them much-needed cash to fund their clinical trials. In the short term, it hurts shareholders, but in the long term, it’s actually a sign they’re securing the resources they need to succeed.
Nasdaq Compliance: The stock is under $1, and they need to get back above that to stay listed on Nasdaq. A reverse stock split is likely coming soon, which would consolidate shares and increase the price. That might sound scary, but it’s a common move for companies in their position, and it could bring back confidence and even attract institutional investors.
Strengthened Leadership: GlucoTrack is making all the right moves to prepare for FDA approval. They’ve just brought on an industry veteran as their Vice President of Regulatory Affairs. This person has decades of experience navigating the complexities of FDA regulations. Combined with the recent addition of John Ballantyne (who co-founded Aldevron and is an expert in biotech innovation), their leadership team looks well-equipped to handle the regulatory challenges ahead.
Clinical Trials Are Happening NOW: This is huge—the company has already started its feasibility study to evaluate their implantable glucose monitor. The trial will assess how well their device performs in a real-world setting, which is the first big step toward proving the tech works. You can even check out the trial details on Veeva Clinical Trials (see post form this morning) Positive results from this study could be a big catalyst for the stock.
Future Catalysts: Alongside the ongoing trial, we could see announcements about partnerships or strategic moves to further strengthen their position. These would not only boost the stock price but also validate the company’s potential in the market.
Why am I optimistic? Right now, the price is low because of short-term challenges, but the fundamentals—like their innovative tech, funding progress, a critical trial underway, and their newly strengthened leadership team—are strong. If you’re willing to take on some risk for the potential of high reward, this might be the time to jump in. Just know it’s not a sure thing, but the upside could be significant if they execute well.

2025.01.18 23:51 lizzooo69 RHOBH would be boring if Kyle had left recently
I am a kyle apologist but I won’t get into that LOL. I’ve seen a lot of people saying they want her to leave but honestly Kyle has a complicated storyline to me that I think could become really interesting (given that yeah, she’s secretive and at an obviously weird moment of her life). I think her part of the show is more interesting than the other wives rn bc of her imperfections. Say what you want about her but I think it’s good TV!
Also, I think as on OG cast member, a bit of the structural integrity of the show is on her a little since the show has obviously been not as good as it used to be in my opinion.
Idk! Anyone get what i’m saying? I am just hoping she explodes at some point and explains the down and dirty details of her life!

2025.01.18 23:51 OctoAmbush Should I get the PC version and the DLCs?
I've had Rebirth on 3DS for a bit and just beat Mom's Heart for the first time, and I was wondering if the PC version and DLC are worth it. I enjoy the game a ton but the aiming with ABXY is not very fun and I'm sure there's a ton of more content with the DLCs. I can't afford the full $50 bundle right now but I need to know if I should save up for it.

2025.01.18 23:51 Captain-Speed [android][2012] Mobile game about fish with tail whip
This game had you playing as an orange fish-like creature with a whip like tail in a pond. The goal of each level was to collect a certain number of smaller fish before you could move onto the next level.
Enemies would approach you, and you'd die if they hit you head on, but you're able to use the end of the fish's tail to hurt and kill them (you could only input the direction you'd want to go, but turning would allow you to swing your tail).
If I can recall correctly, the pond was relatively dark and the fish's body and tail would brighten the surrounding environment.
The game was available in the AppStore in the late 2000s/early 2010s, but I don't know if it got removed or not.

2025.01.18 23:51 colt_katie AGE GAP IN A LESBIAN RELATIONSHIP. WEIRD OR NAH?
I'm currently writing a book between two characters that meet at 18 and 27 respectively, and begin a romantic relationship at 20 and 29. The story only makes sense if they're individually at their respective ages, otherwise there'd be no story between them. Is there a good way to execute this narrative without coming off as predatory or even tabboo? I've heard many people say age gaps between two women together is weird. I've never thought so but I'd like more clarity from the people that think otherwise. Thank you!
