With August being Women’s Month, we at the OPDT would like to celebrate our Women and their health … Make peanuts a part of your daily diet and take proactive steps towards better health!
Women face a higher risk of heart disease, hypertension, certain cancers, and Alzheimer’s disease. Incorporating peanuts and peanut butter into your diet offers exceptional health benefits for women. Peanuts are protein-packed, support muscle growth and recovery, and may help inhibit various cancers. They also support healthier skin, hair, and nails. Additionally, peanuts can lower the risk of death from serious conditions and reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s.

For many years, we have been searching for a food alternative that is not only healthy but will help sustain a growing population and food demand. The answer? SOY!
The protein content of soybeans is between 36–56% of the dry weight, resulting in nutritional value, minerals, and vitamins that can help feed a growing future. Visit our website and learn more about the bean that counts: https://www.opot.co.za/index.php?page=soy-and-general-health.

Canolafokus 127 | Julie 2026 | Waarskuwing: Verrassende Sclerotinia Stamvrot op Canola in 2026 … Die 2026-canolaseisoen is tot dusver gekenmerk deur aanhoudende mistige en vogtige toestande in groot dele van die Wes-Kaap.
In die Caledon-gebied was die verskil besonder opvallend, terwyl metings by Langgewens Navorsingsplaas ook 'n skerp toename in humiditeit sedert die begin van Julie toon.
Waarom is dit belangrik? 🤔
Sclerotinia-stamvrot floreer onder nat toestande met hoë relatiewe humiditeit. Gedurende die blomfase kan die swam die plant infekteer deur afgestorwe blomblare wat op die stam en blare beland. Met die huidige weerstoestande is die risiko vir infeksie dus aansienlik hoër.
👨‍🌾 Produsente word aangemoedig om lande gereeld te monitor, veral waar canola tans in die blomstadium is. Vroeë waarneming en tydige bestuursbesluite kan help om verliese te beperk.
