Genetic Technology Agriculture has historically benefited directly from advances in genetic research. Crop productivity increases at a rate of 3% per year. About half of it is driven by enhanced genetics, with genetic gain rates expected to more than double with the implementation of emerging molecular technologies. For instance, more than 110 and 195 million tons of additional ...
Meanwhile, synthetic biology also helps with production of biosynthetic chemicals. Genetic Technology Agriculture has historically benefited directly from advances in genetic research. ...
Agriculture stands at the precipice of an escalating crisis. Pests and diseases threaten global food security, with the UN estimating that up to 40% of crops are lost annually. Our reliance on chemical pesticides only compounds the problem, with these toxins polluting ecosystems, harming beneficial species, and human health. However, an innovative technology offers a beacon of hope: RNA ...

Pests, such as insects, pose a significant threat to agriculture and public health. Traditional methods of pest control, such as chemical pesticides, have raised concerns about their impact on the environment and human health. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the development of alternative pest control strategies, and one promising approach is the use of insecticidal ...
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. ...
This interview is part of a deep-dive series from WBCSD’s Global Agribusiness Action on Equitable Livelihoods Project (GAA-EL) featuring perspectives from human rights experts in the NGO sector, government, WBCSD member companies, and more. The series aims to raise awareness about the challenges, opportunities and lessons learned across the sector. The GAA-EL project works with its ...
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 ...
Hope Lewis has been with Ag Leader sales team for 7 years, serving as a Territory Manager for Wyoming, Nebraska, and Western Iowa. 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 ...

Whether we need to wake up in the morning, order a cup of coffee or navigate to avoid traffic—all while listening to our favorite podcast—apps have made everything just a click away. FieldView™ continues to lead the industry with the most compatible real-time data cab monitoring app, reshaping agriculture for present and future ...
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 ...
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. ...
A corn combine harvester is a machine used for the corn harvest which both improves the harvest efficient and saves labor cost. Currently there are a variety of corn harvesters in the market, then how to choose a suitable corn combine harvester becomes an important question. In the following, we will give you some suggestions: 1. You should take the the regional applicability into ...
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 ...
The world has a problem. A phosphorus problem. Needed to fertilize crops, the bulk of phosphorus comes from nonrenewable phosphate rock. While China mines the most — producing almost half the world’s phosphorus — Morocco alone controls three-fourths of global phosphate rock reserves. Year by year those global reserves dwindle, leaving phosphate rock that’s ever lower in ...

Researchers around the world are exploring how GMO technology might boost food production under hot, dry conditions. Roger Deal is trying to figure out how plants remember drought. An assistant professor of biochemistry and genetics at Emory University, Deal says most plants have a kind of memory for stress. When experiencing water shortage, for example, plants close the holes in their leaves, ...
