Many farmers do not have the resources to acquire the much needed fertilizers to top-dress both cash crops and staple foods. The result has been declining crop yields and continuous food insecurity among many rural households. Clarifier mud, a byproduct of sugar molasses, is an organic fertilizer that has been proved through research to improve deficient soils and boost maize yields.

Climate Impact Assessment for Philippine Agriculture August 2005 No. 8 / Volume 21 Overview A n overall normal harvest for upland palay and lowland palay as well as wet season corn are expected in most parts of the country. However, in Virac, Catanduanes, western Samar, northern Leyte and Agusan del Norte below normal yield is anticipated this season. D uring the month, analysis of rainfall distribution indicates that Central Luzon, Ilocos Region, most parts of Palawan and western Mindanao experienced below normal rainfall conditions while near normal rainfall were noted over most parts of the Visayas, Bicol region, and Mindanao. Above normal rainfall were observed in some areas of eastern Luzon, northern Samar, Mindoro Island and part of eastern Mindanao, attributed to the passage of tropical cyclones and the low pressure areas east of Bicol region. S ignificant weather systems that affected the country during the month were the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), the southwest monsoon and the passage of three tropical cyclones, Typhoon “Gorio” (Aug. 1-4), Tropical Storm “Huaning” (Aug. 10-13) and Typhoon “Isang” (Aug. 29 – Sept.1). Tropical cyclones “Gorio” and “Huaning” crossed the country through extreme northern Luzon, enhanced the southwest monsoon even after they left the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and brought continuous rains for days over some areas in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

Release and Potential Impacts of Biological Toxins Bt Genetically-Modified Corn Crops and Biopesticide Application F. Gagné, M. Douville C. Blaise, A. Marineau. St. Lawrence Centre, Environment Canada, Montreal, Quebec, Canada; B. Lachance and G. Sunahara, Biotechnology Research Institute, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Poster Communication Dec01 Abstract There is growing concern about the environmental impacts of products derived from biotechnology. The bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) produces an endotoxin that is highly toxic to insects from the Coleoptera Lepidoptera and Diptera Funded by Environmental Management of Biotechnology for Regulation and Research, Hull, Québec, Canada. Introduction Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a gram-positive facultative aerobic bacterium normally found in soils. It produces a proteinaceous crystal toxin called -endotoxin that is toxic to insects from the Coleopterus Dipterus and Lepidopterus orders. It therefore becomes possible to use this bacterium to control larvae infestation of crop-eating insects. Furthermore, the gene coding for this protein complex has been recently introduced into corn thereby allowing it to resist against crop-eating insects. This genetically-modified corn, so-called Bt-corn, is currently cultivated in the vicinity of the St-Lawrence River where many metric tons are produced each year. Cultivation of corn in this region is by far the most important culture in terms of biomass production. When these insects ingest the bacterium or leaves of Bt-corn, the crystal protoxin is hydrolyzed by the alkaline environment of the gut epithelium which eventually leads to the death of the insect by enteritis and septicemia.

RIVER STAGE: 8.63 FALLING Dow: 10557.63 STORY Corn crops may produce 40 bushels below average Tuesday, August 2, 2005 Whitney McFerron ~ Southeast Missourian Despite above-average rainfalls for July, area farmers are still clamoring for rain as the summer-long drought drags on. Hurricane Dennis drenched Southeast Missouri early last month, but local agriculture officials say the summer has been unusually dry on the whole. A four-member board composed of representatives from agricultural service agencies in the county predicts the drought will adversely affect local crop yields. The board, which reports local agriculture statistics to the state, estimates this year's corn crop will produce about 100 bushels an acre around 40 bushels below average. Soy beans in the county are projected to produce about six bushels below average at 24 bushels per acre. Terry Birk, who serves on the board and is the county director of the Farm Service Agency in Jackson, said the numbers could fluctuate, depending on the amount of rain that falls between now and harvest time. But if the estimates do come true, farmers of both crops will be hurt. "It means the farmer is operating at a loss," he said.

Z Tuesday September 4, 1838 From the Arkansas Gazette The crops of corn, which promised so favorably two months ago, have been seriously injured by the drought, in almost every section of the State-but in some much more than others. The probability is, that the average will not exceed half a crop. In this vicinity the injury is felt but little, and corn will be abundant; but we hear distressing accounts of the deficiency in most of the counties north, west, and south of us. In the counties east, and particularly those on the Mississippi, the crops are very fair. The cotton crop, considering the bad stand in the spring, we understand, generally looks very promising—the drought having been favorable to it.

This Week In Petroleum EIA Home Petroleum This Week In Petroleum Released on October 20, 2004 (Next Release on October 27, 2004) Nervous In the bottom of the seventh inning in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series, with the visiting Boston Red Sox leading the New York Yankees by a score of 4-0, television announcer Tim McCarver said, “Should the Yankees lose this game, this city [New York] will be very nervous tomorrow [October 20].” Just as there will be plenty of nervous baseball fans today, there are also plenty of analysts and traders nervous about what the upcoming winter might be like for oil markets, particularly heating oil. With crude oil and petroleum product prices at or near record high levels (unadjusted for inflation), there is little wonder why markets are nervous. Oil demand continues to grow, despite high product prices, and there is little excess production capacity to make up for lost production currently in the Gulf of Mexico (still amounting to over 0.4 million barrels per day) or perceived potential disruptions in Nigeria, Russia, Iraq, or elsewhere. But what may have oil analysts and traders most nervous (besides Game 7 tonight) is the outlook for heating oil this upcoming winter. Distillate fuel inventories, which include both diesel fuel and heating oil, have declined for five weeks in a row, while heating oil inventories alone have dropped in four out of the last five weeks.

Those examined are: the corn aphis, wheat midge, barley midge, ribbon-footed corn fly, lined corn fly, corn saw-fly, fruit fly, crane fly, wireworm, cockschafer, small chafer, mole cricket, thousand-legs, antler moth, corn thrips, ear cockle worm. Also included are those pests attacking corn in store (corn weevil, corn beetle, corn wolf moth) and those injurious to pulses and clovers (pea and bean beetles, weevils, pea moth, bean aphis, pea aphis, clover weevil and Dutch clover weevil). Most insects are represented in diagrammatic form, and along with a life history there is a description of the damage inflicted on plants and means of preventio.

The mammoth outpouring, vastly larger than 1999's crops, would be accompanied by the second-largest cotton crop on record, 19.2 m bales weighing 480 lbs each, and a moderate 2.26 billion bushels of wheat, the Agriculture Department said. Huge crops would mean a fourth year in a row of low grain and soybean prices. "There's no floor on how low it can go," said private consultant John Schnittker. Analyst Greg Doud of the firm World Perspectives pointed to the possibility that hot, dry August weather might reduce crop size, especially soybeans in a critical reproductive stage, but large crops seemed certain.
