With wheels no bigger than a go-kart and a squat square chassis that weighs 200kg, the future of farm robotics looks like a midget by the standards of modern tractors. Yet the diminutive platform, called Thorvald, is the size of things to come, according to British scientists pioneering autonomous farming. Smaller robots are safer in the event of a malfunction and they do not compact the soil ...
For the 193 national delegations gathering in Copenhagen for the U.N. Climate Change Conference in December, the reasons for concern about climate change vary widely. For delegations from low-lying island countries, the principal concern is rising sea level. For countries in southern Europe, climate change means less rainfall and more drought. For countries of East Asia and the Caribbean, more ...
Gibberella zeae is one of the most devastating pathogens of barley and wheat in the United States. The fungus also infects noncereal crops, such as potatoes and sugar beets, and the genetic relationships among barley, wheat, potato, and sugar beet isolates indicate high levels of similarity. However, little is known about the toxigenic potential of G. zeae isolates from potatoes and sugar ...
