2013-07-11 10:42:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ecologist: Global statistics point towards an increasing exodus of people from the countryside into urban areas. Currently, just over 50% of humanity lives in cities, but the impact of these cities on the planet is devastatingly unsustainable. In an urbanizing world, we have to redesign our cities and their systems of resource use in order to survive. Thankfully, Professor Herbert Girardet has spent much of his working life on this issue and has come up with the concept of 'regenerative cities' that aims...

Soil Residual Herbicide Options After Soybean, Corn Emergence
2013-06-05 21:16:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
By Lizabeth Stahl and Jeff Gunsolus, University of Minnesota Extension With very tight windows of opportunity to plant this year, pre-emergence herbicides may not have been applied as planned.
