            • Lauren Quinn University of Illinois

            Few pests eat away at farm profitability as much as soybean cyst nematode. Causing at least $1.5 billion in yield losses annually, it’s soybean’s single biggest threat. Unfortunately, soybean’s most effective tool, genetic resistance, is starting to fail.

              In-depth new synthesis confirms prairie strips' value for pollinators

              • Cindy Hicks Iowa State University

              Pollinator declines are a global concern, and agriculture sits at the center of the challenge. As farms grow more efficient and landscapes become increasingly simplified, bees, butterflies and other pollinators are losing the varied habitats they depend on. One widely promoted solution is pl…

              An egg, a seedling, an eaglet, a fawn, a tadpole, a flower bud or a fungus mycelium are all the start of something great outdoors. Embryonic stages of plants, animals and fungi often have little resemblance to the adult species they grow to become. It’s exciting, helpful and great outdoors f…

              • Marianne Stein University of Illinois

              Antibiotic resistance in human and animal health is on the forefront of public debate, but it’s a less well-known issue in plant agriculture. However antibiotics are important tools in fruit production, and their efficacy hinges on avoiding resistance in disease-causing bacteria.

                      For many people, weather is the ultimate small-talk topic. But for the farmers who feed the world, weather is huge – it can be the difference between a bumper crop and a total loss – so weather talk is anything but small. And Eric Snodgrass, Nutrien’s principal atmospheric scientist, says he…
