Leatherjacket: Leatherjacket is the larva of the cranefly (Tipuda paludosa) which hatches from eggs laid on the ground and feeds on the young crop in spring. When grass is ploughed for cereal crops, the larvae feed on the seedling wheat, damaging the plants at or just below ground level. Managing leatherjacket infestations through pest control measures can protect crops and improve yields.
Ladder Farm: A ladder farm is a farm with a series of small long narrow fields. This type of farming layout can help optimize land use and improve crop management strategies.
Loose Smut: Loose smut is a fungus (Ustilago nuda) affecting wheat and barley.
