Smart farming trying to find its feet in EU agriculture
The EU Common Agricultural Policy after 2020 should mobilise both direct payments and rural development pillars, in order to pave the way for the introduction of much-needed digital technologies in the farming sector, experts in precision agriculture told EurActiv.com.

Yara App Store
Yara has a suite of applications designed specifically for smartphones and touch-screen tablet devices. These applications (or Apps) cover a range of services that Yara provides. Some applications are available only in specific countries; others are universally available.
See: http://yara.com/media/apps/


Yara Support tools

See: http://yara.com/products_services/fertilizers/support_services/support_tools/


Yara TankmixIT app
Yara TankmixIT is based on a database of results from thousands of individual two-way or multi component tank mix tests of YaraVita™ products with other spray materials.

Access is freely available to everyone and allows better planning of spray programs and spraying opportunities with most of the YaraVita™ range. Each tank mix test is carried out under controlled conditions in our product development laboratories following BS EN ISO 9001:2000 guidelines and represents a fair measure of the performance of each mixture made.

Of course, there are many variables in making tank mixes under field conditions that can influence the mixability of any mixture made. Yara TankmixIT is just a guide, not a guarantee of either physical or biological compatibility.

Gene Drives on the Horizon: Advancing Science, Navigating Uncertainty, and Aligning Research with Public Values
Research on gene drive systems is rapidly advancing. Many proposed applications of gene drive research aim to solve environmental and public health challenges, including the reduction of poverty and the burden of vector-borne diseases, such as malaria and dengue, which disproportionately impact low and middle income countries. However, due to their intrinsic qualities of rapid spread and irreversibility, gene drive systems raise many questions with respect to their safety relative to public and environmental health. Because gene drive ...

When Women Win, Men Win, Too
A glass ceiling was shattered at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, and some American men are afraid that they’ll be injured by the shards. My column argues that whatever one thinks of Hillary Clinton, advances for women benefit men and women alike.

Two friends are fishing near a bridge

Suddenly a Hearse and two Funeral Cars go over the bridge so one of the men stands up, takes off his cap and bows his head.

When the cars have gone he puts his cap back on, sits back down and carries on fishing.

His mate turns to him and says," Dave, that's one of the nicest most respectful things I've ever seen. ".

Dave replies," Well we were married for nearly 20 years. ".
