  • DROUGHT (WATER DEFICITS)!
    May 6 2025

    Welcome back to Cereal Killers, the podcast dedicated to exploring the challenges faced by arable crops, including pests, diseases, and environmental stresses. In this episode, we delve into the intricate topic of water deficits, debunking the common association with drought and focusing on the scientific perspective. Discover how water deficits affect plant yield and growth and learn about innovative irrigation techniques used to manipulate horticultural crops for optimal results.

    Our discussion extends to the broader agricultural landscape, examining soil water deficits in arable and field vegetable crops and their impact on crop resilience. Explore the fascinating contrast between traditional farming methods and regenerative practices, highlighting the potential benefits of incorporating organic matter and using advanced measurement tools like thermal imaging cameras and dielectric sensors.

    Join us as we explore practical strategies for mitigating water deficits and maintaining healthy crops, such as stress-resistant bioactives and seaweed extract applications. This episode provides valuable insights for both traditional and hydroponic farmers looking to enhance crop resilience in the face of prolonged dryness and drought-like conditions.
