Agroecology is about using biodiversity and boosting soil health in order to make farming systems more resilient. How can we apply these principles to crop protection? Can we do without pesticides? What sort of research…
A new study has found the best time to apply safer-to-use and more environmentally friendly biopesticides to fight the Oriental migratory locust pest. The study was led by scientists from the Chinese MARA-CABI Joint…
An international research team recently demonstrated that it was possible to reproduce a hybrid rice variety identically from seed. In other words, such a variety could be cloned infinitely while retaining its original…
Extreme climate events pose an ever-increasing threat to savannahs around the world. However, the ability of these mixed woodland-grassland ecosystems to resist periods of drought can be improved with a higher number of…
Researchers at ETH Zurich/Switzerland have been able to show which genes inhibit self-fertilisation in grasses. Plant scientists can now use this mechanism in a more targeted way to breed new varieties of forage grasses…
A survey at Leibniz University/Hanover, Germany focuses on common features of insect-resistant plant species which could provide the basis for new breeds.
Researchers at ETH Zurich and the Carnegie Institution for Science have shown how nitrogen fertiliser could be produced more sustainably. This is necessary not only to protect the climate, but also to reduce dependence…
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) launched seeds into space last November as part of their joint efforts to develop new crops able to…
The growth rates for fish and seafood production in aquaculture are limited and have already passed their peak, a study says. Scientists say that without wild fish, the world would face an annual shortage of fish food of…
A CABI-led study involving 57 scientists from 46 different institutions has provided a comprehensive review of the devastating fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) including details on its invasiveness, biology, ecology…
