Unmanned-aerial vehicles have become integrated into a variety of research activities but have arguably been the most impactful in agricultural research. Researchers at South Dakota State University have been using the technology in the past few years for early diagnosis of crop-related challenges.
Flavonoids produced by sorghum leaves have shown promising results in combating fall armyworm larvae. When sprayed on corn leaves the flavonoids stunt growth of fall armyworm and often kill the pest, Pennsylvania State University researchers report in a new study.
Soil temperature used for pest prediction
ST. LOUIS – Average annual global greenhouse-gas emissions from 2010 to 2019 were at their greatest levels in recorded human history. Without immediate emission reductions across all sectors, limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is beyond reach. That’s according to a report publish…
Farmers in four watershed councils across northwest Wisconsin recently volunteered to participate in a light-hearted competition aimed to turn some heads and crudely measure soil biological activity.
A chemical that disrupts “evil” weevils’ mating and prevents them from destroying avocados is being sought by scientists at the University of California-Riverside. Avocado weevils are small beetles with long snouts. They drill through fruit to lay eggs. Weevil grubs or larvae bore into avoca…
ASHLAND, Wis. – Quiet pride is most impressive. No loud boasting is needed because its reason is self-evident. We see quiet pride when a team excels but nobody takes credit. There is no need because impressive accomplishment speaks for itself. The glow of accomplishment is enough. And on occ…
Researchers at Michigan State University have been forecasting monarch-butterfly population sizes throughout the Midwest to show where conservation efforts could have the most effect in the face of climate change
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — When plants sense environmental challenges such as drought or extended periods of extreme temperatures, they instinctively reprogram their genetic material to survive and even thrive. The chemical code that triggers those changes can be deciphered and then duplicated t…
OPINION Tesla has sold more than 3 million cars worldwide. There’s no doubt automotive manufacturers are shifting research and development dollars toward making more electric vehicles to capture some of Tesla’s growing market dominance in the space. If you – like me – love cars, trucks and o…
MADISON, Wis. – Richard “Dick” Straub is receiving the Distinguished Service Award from the University of Wisconsin-College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.
Combine and tractor fires cause more than $20 million in property losses each year and millions more because of lost time and downed crops during the busy harvest season. Fires also cause 40 or 50 serious injuries each year, and occasionally a person is killed because of a farm machinery fire.
Research aimed at improving pig health and advancing the understanding of beneficial viruses drew a visit Aug. 18 from a foreign minister to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Martin Heydon – a Minister of State at Ireland’s Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine – learned about re…
Drought conditions since the 1980s have cost the United States $249 billion. One potential solution to enhancing crop resilience is the inoculation of seed with bacteria. While scientists have identified many microbes that show promise in the laboratory, replicating their efficacy in field s…
LA FARGE, Wis. – How dairy farmers farm and manage their herds has profound effects on climate-change mitigation. Erin Silva said that’s one of the main takeaways from a new study she co-authored with researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Organic Valley.
Multigene bioengineering of photosynthesis recently was shown to increase soybean yields. After more than a decade of working toward that goal, an international research team has genetically altered soybean plants to increase the efficiency of photosynthesis.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – With the war in Ukraine entering its seventh month and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic still being experienced, growing challenges threaten the world’s economic and food security. Purdue University-College of Agriculture experts in the areas of food and economic se…
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The functions of plant genes responsible for regulating acquisition and use of nitrogen and phosphorus in corn hybrids are being studied by researchers at Pennsylvania State University.
"Nano robot" explores cells
Organic meat is more expensive than non-organic meat. But does it taste better too? Hans Spoolder, a senior scientist in animal sciences at Holland’s Wageningen University and Research, plans to answer that question and more in the mEATquality project. He’ll be collecting data from consumers…
