#Solar and #RenewableEnergy on #Farms - #UMassAmherst Excerpt: "What Works Under Solar Panels Sheep and Poultry: #SheepGrazing is well-established at solar sites, they benefit from shade, don't damage equipment, and manage vegetation. #Poultry also do well. Larger animals require reinforced racking; goats and pigs may interfere with wiring. #Hay and #Pasture: Shading reduces yields, but shade-tolerant species (#orchardgrass, #WhiteClover) maintain reasonable productivity. #Vegetables: #LeafyGreens, #brassicas, and some #herbs tolerate #PartialShade. Sun-loving crops should be planted between panel rows. Fruit: Most fruit crops need full sun. Currants and gooseberries are more tolerant. Start small to observe actual impacts." [Raspberries do well in partial sun]."

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🍄🌱 Dr Jennifer McGaley and her team recorded a #timelapse of arbuscular mycorrhizal #fungi growing inside living plant root #cells for the first time. The ancient #underground partnership helps #plants exchange #minerals for sugars. The #research could eventually help #farms reduce their reliance on #synthetic fertilizers. 👉 Learn more: https://seethis.tv/post/mycorrhiaza-in-motion-a-56-hour-film-first #agriculture #biodicersiry #biology #carbon #computers #ecology #farming #food #growing #microbiology #microscope #nature #networks #nitrogen #phosphorus #rice #mushrooms #mycology #science #soil #symbiosis #technology #tech #cambridge #womeninstem #tksst #video
