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…
