Anyone working in #agriculture knows how important #timing is, but did you know that plants have internal #rhythmic biological mechanisms that can influence the effectiveness of #agrochemical applications depending on the time of day?
Understanding these mechanisms and how to apply this knowledge in the field is still a challenge. Together with Carlos Hotta and Antony Dodd, we decided to present some ideas in this new article published in The New Phytologist Foundation—my first as first author. ✨
I’m very excited to share these ideas because they’re part of the topic of my doctoral thesis, which focuses on #plant sensitivity to #herbicides at different times of the day.
#Chronobiology is a relatively recent science, but its discoveries have already earned a Nobel Prize in 2017. Personally, I believe that studies in chronobiology applied to agriculture could lead to the emergence of a new scientific field: #chronoagronomy.
Chronoagronomy could focus on studying the effects of time in agriculture—understanding all temporal factors and how they affect production systems, from soil preparation and crop rotations to the final product price in the market—with the goal of optimizing outcomes through process synchronization and the application of #chronoculture or circadian agriculture.
#Agronomy has always relied on knowledge of temporal factors, but has never studied them systematically in all their dimensions. Understanding the role of #time might be the breakthrough we need to produce more, produce better, and avoid environmental disaster.

#Roundup #Weedkiller Manufacturers to Pay $6.9 Million in #FalseAdvertising Settlement
Roundup Manufacturers Had No Evidence for Claiming Its Weedkillers Were Safe
#Agrochemical giants #Bayer CropScience and #Monsanto violated a 1996 agreement to stop making false and misleading claims about the safety of its popular weedkillers, New York’s attorney general found.

#China is overtaking and instrumentalizing the #UN s #Food and Agricultural Organisation #FAO.
- Prior to the election of general director Qu Dongyu in 2019 China cancelled 80mio $ debt for #Cameroon which then withdrew its candidate
-It became known that especially #african #states were asked to make pictures of their filled ballots, supposedly because they would get something in return for voting for china.
- After the election the new FAO-Website was not created by private companies but by the chinese ministry of agriculture. For 400.000$
-Under Qu the number of chinese directors increased from 2 to 6, they have many staff and budget under their control
-China rigorously tests "Officers" for political #ideology before delegating them to #Rome. There they are called #spies internally
-Under Qu the FAO partnered with chinese state owned #agrochemical corp. #Syngenta. There is no such cooperation with any other #pesticide producer. -
Who profits under #UPOV?
As UPOV has expanded, the global #seed market has been taken over by a cartel of #agrochemical companies. Today, just four of these companies control half of the US$47 billion seed market.
