First observation of linkage between genes controlling resistance found in crop pests
Researchers at Clemson University, USA have found connections between resistance controlling genes in Heliothis virescens F (Tobacco budworm), a serious pest of cotton. `This linkage may contribute to the rapid evolution of resistance observed in this pest` said researcher Thomas M Brown. view more (2002-01-30)
Bacillus thuringiensis - Bacterial Insecticide
Microbiologists in Europe have played a major role in developing the Bacillus thuringiensis story, as they have in many areas of research. FEMS, The Federation of European Microbiological Societies, is now embarking on a series of major European Congresses bringing together scientists from all parts of Europe and providing a forum for the... view more...

Mustard - hot stuff for natural pest control
Researchers, growers and Industry specialists from 22 countries will share the latest research into the use of Brassica species, such as mustard, radish, or rapeseed, to manage soil-borne pests and weeds - a technique known as biofumigation. view more (2008-07-28)
Consumption of nuts, corn or popcorn not associated with increased risk of diverticulosis in men
Contrary to a common recommendation to avoid eating popcorn, nuts and corn to prevent diverticular complications, a large prospective study of men indicates that the consumption of these foods does not increase the risk of diverticulosis or diverticular complications, according to a study in the August 27 issue of JAMA. view more (2008-08-27)
Bioethanol's impact on water supply 3 times higher than once thought
At a time when water supplies are scarce in many areas of the United States, scientists in Minnesota are reporting that production of bioethanol - often regarded as the clean-burning energy source of the future - may consume up to three times more water than previously thought. view more (2009-08-06)
Szechuan pepper puts prairie voles off their food
Szechuan pepper can be used to deter crop-destroying mammals such as the prairie vole, without affecting non-targeted species, says research published in the journal Pest Management Science. Researchers discovered that compounds in the pepper probably repel prairie voles by stimulating pain receptors in the nose, mouth and eyes. The component... view more... (2004-04-05)
Study explores effects of herbicide drift on white oak
Herbicide drift, which occurs when pesticides "drift" from the targeted application area to a nearby non-targeted area, is a particular concern in Midwestern regions of the United States. view more (2009-03-26)
Are Organic Crops as Productive as Conventional?
Can organic cropping systems be as productive as conventional systems? The answer is an unqualified, "Yes" for alfalfa or wheat and a qualified "Yes most of the time" for corn and soybeans according to research reported by scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and agricultural consulting firm AGSTAT in the... view more...

AgriLife Research breeder develops drought-tolerant corn
At the end of the day, drought tolerance in corn has to equate to good yields and good quality, not just good looks, said a Texas AgriLife Research scientist. view more (2008-08-26)
Organic farming produces same corn and soybean yields as conventional farms, but consumes less energy and no pesticides, study finds
Organic farming produces the same yields of corn and soybeans as does conventional farming, but uses 30 percent less energy, less water and no pesticides, a review of a 22-year farming trial study concludes. view more (2005-07-14)
Midwestern ethanol plants use much less water than western plants, U of Minnesota study says
Ethanol production in Minnesota and Iowa uses far less water overall than similar processes in states where water is less plentiful, a new University of Minnesota study shows. view more (2009-04-15)
Bioinsecticide for controlling plagues in greenhouses
Developing a bioinsecticide that is more effective than pesticides for controlling pests in greenhouses is the aim of the project undertaken by a research team from the Public University of Navarre and commissioned by the Almer'a Fruit & Vegetable Exporters Association (COEXPHAL). Biological efficiaciousness The COEXPHAL Association of the... view more... (2004-06-16)
Feeding the World: New Method for Producing High-Vitamin Corn Could Improve Nutrition in Developing Countries
Scientists have developed a potentially powerful new tool in the fight against deficiencies in dietary vitamin A, which cause eye diseases, including blindness, in 40 million children annually, and increased health risks for about 250 million people, mostly in developing countries. view more (2008-01-18)
Heat forms potentially harmful substance in high-fructose corn syrup
Researchers have established the conditions that foster formation of potentially dangerous levels of a toxic substance in the high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) often fed to honey bees. view more (2009-10-15)
Cow stomach holds key to turning corn into biofuel
An enzyme from a microbe that lives inside a cow's stomach is the key to turning corn plants into fuel, according to Michigan State University scientists. view more (2008-04-08)
Feedstock makes a difference in feeding distiller's grains
When it comes to using distiller's grains in finishing rations of High Plains cattle, a Texas AgriLife Research scientist says the type of grain used makes all the difference. view more (2008-05-12)

Experts lay to rest long-held misconceptions about high fructose corn syrup at ILSI-USDA workshop
A supplement to be published in the June issue of the Journal of Nutrition encourages the scientific community and the general public to stop demonizing high fructose corn syrup as the culprit of obesity and to rethink the myths about high fructose corn syrup's impact on the American diet. view more (2009-04-27)
Technology is key for biofuel success
To make the conversion of biomass to biofuels more cost-effective, new technologies are essential, according to Dr. Richard Hess from the Idaho National Laboratory in Idaho Falls in the US and his team. view more (2009-07-17)
Shredding corn silage could produce more ethanol at less cost
A Purdue University researcher has found a way to get more bang for fewer bucks when it comes to processing cellulosic material to make ethanol. view more (2009-02-24)
