What are heirloom tomatoes? There are several definitions. Heirloom tomatoes could be passed down for several generations through a family, or are commercially open-pollinated varieties introduced before 1940. They are also created by crossing two known parents and dehybridizing the resulting seeds for however many years or generations it takes to eliminate the undesirable characteristics. Dehybridizing is where a tomato plant is only allowed to self-pollinate. This process may need to be repeated for up to 8 years. Additionally, they may be selected "mystery" varieties that are a product of natural cross-pollination of other heirloom varieties.

The scale of capacity offtake (or the volume of electricity purchase from the plant) had not been divulged by the relevant parties — including the cost-per-kilowatt hour of the procured power supply.

Each year, throughout the world, a number of new technologies are patented which enable architects to design increasingly taller buildings, and there are also a number of new technologies which enable construction contractors to build houses, apartment buildings, office buildings and mixed-use buildings faster than ever.  

“Raven integrates the entire application process from the top of the cab to the spray tips,” Esselink says. “All of these components interact with other ISO-certified displays and task controllers in the industry. In the long-run, total integration of these products in one package provides the best experience and most features available. The ultimate goal is to ensure that ag retailers and their operators achieve the best possible sprayer application for maximum results.”

“We’ve got a pretty unique experience of being done with one side of construction and still here working on Bean East. So we’ve actually been working with the students to get their preferences,” Mau said.

Wahalajara is set to come online in May, according to the Sener document, though permitting issues continue to hold back progress meaning that the speed at which red-tape advances will ultimately determine the progress of this and other pipeline projects in the country.

This applies water using sprinklers of one form or another, offering completely coverage of larger areas. This method works well for direct seeded crops, when uniform moisture across an entire bed or field is required. It can also have a cooling effect, which can be advantageous in the heat of summer. It does typically require higher pressure and flow rates, meaning it may not be possible in all applications. Overhead irrigation is also affected more by wind and has a higher rate of loss due to evaporation and application in non-target areas. In some instances, excessive leaf wetness can lead to disease outbreaks, so drip may be favored. Examples include metal or PVC hand lines (solid set), portable sprinkler lines and water reels (traveling guns).

Raven’s platform of services that work seamlessly to integrate boom height, rate control, and speed to consistently deliver accurate results. This includes Raven’s patented Hawkeye Nozzle Control System, which has smart nozzles that intuitively deliver spray at the correct rate in a consistent pattern, no matter the variables at play in the field.

Whether you are using a well or surface water to irrigate, the components of an irrigation kit are often similar, if not identical. The primary components of a system are:

Results were better than expected with good porosity and oil saturation. Clean-up operations confirmed the well could achieve the anticipated peak rates of more than 10,000 b/d.
