Extractions: NEED Applied atrazine never reached the aquifer during this five-year study. Alachlor and metribuzin were never detected in ground water. Aquifer nitrate concentrations beneath cropped areas were indistinguishable from background levels. Since applied agrichemicals did not reach the aquifer that recharges adjacent wetlands, ater quality of these wetlands was not impacted by adjacent farming practices. Water distribution measurements showed that least water fell on the ridges (row) where herbicides and fertilizers were appliedgreatly reducing the potential of leaching applied agrichemicals. Atrazine is adsorbed ten times more tightly onto soil particles under field moisture conditions than is currently predicted using laboratory measurements and computer modelingsuggesting that pesticide leaching potentials are currently overestimated.

http://www.ers.usda.gov/Briefing/AgChemicals/

Extractions: Farmers combine land, water, commercial inputs, labor, and their management skills into practices and systems to produce food and fiber. To sustain production over time, farmers must make a profit and preserve their resource and financial assets. Society wants food and fiber products that are low-cost, safe to consume, and aesthetically pleasing, and wants production systems that preserve or enhance the environment. These often competing goals and pressures are reflected not only in the inputs made available for production, but also in how the inputs are selected, combined, and managed at the farm level. Increasingly, farmers are facing pressures to change from conventional production practices to more environmentally friendly practices that encompass critical aspects of crop production, including pest management nutrient management soil management , and sustainable production systems . ERS research examines the critical role of economic and environmental factors in the adoption of management practices and technologies, including the use of conservation tillage, integrated pest management, precision farming, nutrient testing, organic farming, and biotechnology.

Extractions: Kevin Potter, NC State News Services, 919/515-3470 or kevin_potter@ncsu.edu Sept. 21, 2000 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE According to conventional thinking, agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability are often at odds. North Carolina State University scientists, however, are uniting the two at one of the nation's largest centers for the study of environmentally sustainable farming practices. The Center for Environmental Farming Systems aims to develop agricultural practices that allow farmers to make a living while meeting two of society's inescapable requirements: the need for a clean environment, and the need for a safe, high-quality supply of food and fiber. "In our view, the health and prosperity of future generations depend upon the mutually beneficial partnership of agriculture, environment and consumers," said Dr. Nancy Creamer, director of the center and NC State associate professor of horticultural science. "Our goal is to protect and enhance North Carolina's environmental quality as we sustain the long-term productivity of its farms." The center has three major components: an organic farm that researches alternatives to conventional agrochemicals;

What industrial sectors have strong self-interest in furthering the transition to sustainable agriculture? How can owners of farm land best preserve the long-term value of their assets? How will investors in agribusiness cover the risks of a transition to new, sustainable farming practices? What mode of research will be be adequate for validating sustainable farming practices, given their systems complexity? Specifically, how will the public sector define an appropriate role and limits to the use of genetically modified organisms, given the huge capital investments in this area? How will we preserve and restore the viability of rural communities and family farming? One of the central challenges of sustainable development is providing increasing quantities of food and fiber to a growing world population. This issue is compounded by constraints on production that include urban development of farm land, competition for water, deterioriation of agricultural land, and projected impacts of global climate change. The negative environmental impacts of industrialized farming add another major constraint. Apparently we are facing an escalating food crisis and the subject is not yet on the front burner of public issues.

Traditional Practices For Plant Disease Management In Traditional Farming System
Traditional practices for Plant Disease Management in Traditional FarmingSystems. H. David Thurston. Professor Emeritus Department
http://www.tropag-fieldtrip.cornell.edu/tradag/default.html

Extractions: Traditional Practices for Plant Disease Management in Traditional Farming Systems H. David Thurston Professor Emeritus - Department of Plant Pathology, Cornell University , Ithaca, NY, 14850 ( hdt1@cornell.edu Scarlet runner bean This page is, at best, an introduction to the subject of traditional farming systems. Crop production began perhaps 10,000 years ago. Some ancient farmers developed sustainable agriculture practices that allowed them to produce food and fiber and manage plant diseases for thousands of years with few outside inputs. Many of their successful practices have been forgotten or abandoned in developed countries, but some are still used by traditional farmers in a wide variety of environments in developing countries. The term traditional is usually associated with primitive agricultural systems or preindustrial peasant agriculture. Traditional farming usually is based on practices that have been passed down for many generations. The objective here is to give an overview of the range of methods used by traditional farmers over time to restrict plant diseases without reliance on external or synthetic inputs. Traditional systems of Latin America, Africa, and Asia are considered. Most of the information on traditional agriculture pertinent to the management of plant diseases has never been recorded in a form easily accessible by today's farmers and scientists. With rare exceptions, those who have studied indigenous and traditional agriculture seldom consider or even mention plant diseases. Traditional agricultural practices should be understood and conserved before they are lost with the rapid advance of modern agriculture in developing countries. Plant pathologists and other agricultural scientists can learn much from traditional farmers to elucidate principles and methods useful in the future management of plant diseases. Traditional knowledge can be overvalued or romanticized, but that is better than despising or ignoring it. Combining the best of traditional agriculture methods with the best of modern agriculture should go a long way towards sustaining agriculture in the coming century.
