“Macadamia intercropping into an inefficient adult coffee plantation is economically advantageous” with Rogério Soratto. Macadamia nuts are a lucrative crop for Brazilian farmers, but long wait times from planting to production can cause financial strain when first planting them. This episode, Rogério Soratto discusses his work researching intercropping coffee and macadamia nuts, which can help ease financial stress and lead to higher economic efficiency for both crops. Tune in to learn: What are the barriers to macadamia nut farming How can intercropping these two plants ease financial strain How can intercropping these two plants benefit both crops How pruning patterns and planting arrangements can affect future growth If you would like more information about this topic, this episode’s paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/agj2.20555 It will be freely available from 15 October to 31 October, 2021.

Regenerative Agriculture and The Living Soil Handbook with Jesse Frost

Integrated pest management, or IPM, is a system by which pests are controlled using informed decision-making techniques. Regenerative agriculture is an approach to farming that focuses on soil health and environmental recovery. In this episode, Tom Green finishes out our five part mini-series on IPM by walking us through how these two systems can work together to improve soil health, reduce pests, and help improve farmer profits. Tune in to learn: What are some of the main tenets of regenerative agriculture? What are some of the obstacles regenerative ag researchers face? How can regenerative ag boost natural pest control techniques? Why are there both pros and cons to increased flexibility in applied techniques?

Regenerative Agriculture and IPM with Dr. Thomas Green

“Assessing the Effects of Lake-Dredged Sediments on Soil Health: Agricultural and Environmental Implications on Northwestern Ohio” with Angélica Vázquez-Ortega and Russell Brigham Shipping accounts for a large portion of the Ohio economy. Channels therefore need regular dredging to keep shipping channels clear. In the past, such sediments were often released back into Lake Erie. However, as this can cause environmental problems, the Ohio legislature banned the practice of open dumping in Lake Erie in 2020, creating quite the sticky situation for dredging teams. Enter Dr. Angélica Vázquez-Ortega and Russell Brigham, two researchers working to find new uses for these sediments. In this episode, we discuss their work testing the efficacy of lake-dredged sediments as farm amendments. Tune in to learn: How lake-dredged sediments are processed for further use Ways in which sediments can improve soil health The relationship of sediments with Legacy P Future research areas for sediment use If you would like more information about this topic, this episode’s paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/jeq2.20199 It will be freely available from 2 July to 16 July, 2021.

“Earthworm density differences over time among a native tallgrass prairie and chronosequence of tallgrass prairie restorations in the Ozark Highlands” and “Seasonal earthworm density differences among mound positions and soil moisture regimes in native tallgrass prairies in the Ozark Highlands” with Dr. Kristofor Brye Earthworms are praised as environmental engineers and their health can be tightly linked with both soil health and soil benefits like carbon sequestration, attributes which are of crucial importance when taking on projects like prairie restoration. It is therefore key to understand the soil properties and environments which are most beneficial to earthworm health. In this episode, Kris will walk us through his research, including how he got started in prairie restoration, the role of earthworms in soil health, and just what kinds of conditions these underground allies crave.

Sustainable farming systems are critical for all of us, from producers to consumers. It’s therefore important for the full supply chain–from food companies and ingredient suppliers, to farm service providers, to CCAs, and farmers–to support sustainable agriculture practices, many of which can have a beneficial impact on pest management. This episode, we dive into the partnerships and work being done towards these goals between The Nature Conservancy, Star of the West Milling Company, the Kellogg Company, and producers in Michigan’s Saginaw Bay region. Tune in to learn: The differences between Pay for Practice and Pay for Performance conservation programs in US agriculture Why flexibility is so crucial for farmers’ success in adopting new practices How conservation agriculture practices can benefit integrated pest management How partnerships across the supply chain can support sustainability If you would like to find transcripts for this episode or sign up for our newsletter, please visit our website: http://fieldlabearth.libsyn.com/ Contact us at podcast@sciencesocieties.org or on Twitter @FieldLabEarth if you have comments, questions, or suggestions for show topics, and if you want more content like this don’t forget to subscribe.

“Varietal Timelines and Leadership Challenges Affecting the Legacy of Nikolai Ivanovich Vavilov” with Dr. Joel Cohen Nikolai Vavilov was an agronomist and seed collector whose life spanned the regimes of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin. These were years plagued by extreme famine, especially in the Ukraine. Vavilov strove to follow Mendelian science and practices to improve plant breeding programs, seed conservation, and food security. He travelled to and collected seed from over 50 countries in his lifetime and was the founder of one of the world’s oldest seed banks; however, he died defamed and imprisoned, with his name struck from the history books. This episode, in honor of seed week, Dr. Joel Cohen joins us to discuss Vavilov’s work, the ongoing work to restore his reputation, and why his legacy matters today. Tune in to learn: What the four phases of Vavilov’s life were What challenges he faced during his lifetime The fate of several of his colleagues during the siege of Leningrad How Vavilov has been honored and rehabilitated since his death If you would like more information about this topic, this episode’s paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/csc2.20425 It will be freely available from 22 March to 5 April, 2021.
