Modern agriculture faces numerous challenges, such as the ever-increasing population, development of biomass-derived feedstocks for greener industries, developing in a sustainable and rapid manner, the major climate change. All of them pose a major threat to global food and energy security. Synthetic biology can provide tools to address many of these challenges and the industry is likely to be a ...

In 2011, they announced a breakthrough: corn genetically modified to produce an RNAi that targets the western corn rootworm. This pest costs American farmers over $1 billion annually in damages and control measures. The RNAi-produced corn could resist the rootworm without the need for insecticides, reducing economic losses and environmental ...

Bt toxins are produced by the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis and have been widely used in organic farming and pest control. The mode of action of insecticidal proteins varies depending on the specific protein and the target pest. ...
In the past few decades, agricultural land has been largely lost, and increased salinity in soils around the world has received much attention. Nowadays, nearly 8% of the world's arable land can no longer be used for crop cultivation due to salt pollution, and more than half of the world's countries are affected. Wheat is the second largest grain grown after corn and grows more on Earth than any ...
1. The small-scale maize milling process equipment produced by ABC Machinery adopts dry-method corn dehulling and degerming technology, and the de-cleaning rate of husk and embryo reaches 90%. It is the flour mill with the smallest area, the highest degree of automation, the least investment, and the widest processing range in China. All corn processing procedures are completed at one time. 2. ...
Divecha: We align with local labor laws in all countries in which we work, so for the AgroVet company, this is in India. Forced farm labor is one of the most significant human rights issues in the agriculture sector in India, for example, so this is one aspect that we look into more intentionally there. ...
BiOWiSH Technologies, Inc. engaged Helena Agri-Enterprises, LLC as a thirdparty Contract Research Organization (CRO) to conduct a study to determine the effects of BiOWiSH Crop Liquid coated UAN on corn production in ...
Based in Gothenburg, Nebraska, Lewis and her husband manage their small cow-calf herd and grow corn, alfalfa, and prairie hay. Since they’ve acquired their farm, Lewis has been excited to prove the benefits precision technology can have on their operation. From her first collegiate precision ag class to her role now, Lewis has been ...
I sat down to talk with Greg and found that his love of farming is only matched by his love of technology. EM: Tell us a bit about your background in agriculture. GD: I grew up in Swea City, Iowa on a 2,000-plus acre corn and soybean farm. I graduated from Iowa State University (go Cyclones!) ...
In this study, the impact of inter-seasonal climate variability on rainfed maize (Zea mays) production over the Wami-Ruvu basin of Tanzania is evaluated. Daily high-resolution climate simulations from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment_Regional Climate Models (CORDEX_RCMs) are used to drive the Decision Support System for Agro-technological Transfer (DSSAT) to simulate ...
In Bowen, Queensland, in 2010, Hibrix was compared with a high NPK mineral fertiliser program for the production of maize cv. Hycorn 675IT on an alluvial sandy loam soil irrigated via sub-surface drip tape. At commercial harvest, cobs from 20 randomly selected plants per plot from were harvested, weighed and the length, girth at the cob base and length of tip not filled with kernels was measured. ...
A corn combine harvester is a machine used for the corn harvest which both improves the harvest efficient and saves labor cost. ...
On August 29, 2016, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) published a study on the result of land-use changes on North and South Dakota commercial honey bee colonies in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. USGS scientists found that grasslands and other landscape features favored by beekeepers were decreasing, with crops that are avoided by beekeepers, such as corn and ...
Application of low quality water for irrigation is compulsive in facing water scarcity. Use of a magnetic field is an approach to overcome this challenge. This study examined the impact of magnetic field technology on improving germination under water of different salinity levels. An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of saline water levels, i.e. (S1):0.5, (S2):2, (S3):4 and ...
Friday, January 29 was National Corn Chip Day. To celebrate, we took a closer look at this wonder of the snack world and are sharing the important role that moisture plays in the production of corn chips and snack foods in general. To get the scoop on corn chips, we spoke to Randy Rupprecht, QA Manager, and Mike Klein, Processing Manager, of Axium Foods. Every snack food has its own set of ...
Looking at what recycled phosphorus could do for corn in the United States, the country’s number one crop, the study’s authors found that we’d need just 37 percent of available recyclable domestic phosphorus to fertilize all of the corn in the country. ...

Around the world, researchers are working to create genetically modified crop varieties that can withstand severe drought, expected more often with climate change, or thrive on arid lands now considered unsuitable for farming. Engineered Resistance One crop genetically engineered for drought tolerance is already on the market in the United States: a corn ...
