A new stud showed that by following action thresholds to determine when to apply insecticides to control onion thrips, farmers made 2.3 fewer applications per season while maintaining yields and bulb size.

Plant-based dietary alternatives to animal products are better for the environment and for human health when compared with the animal products they are designed to replace, say the authors of a new study.

From soaked to dry, the variable state of U.S. soils has implications for farmers and crop production.

Through public-private partnerships, restoration banking restores resources affected by pollution in Oregon and helps habitats recover faster.

Researchers track the movement of charred detritus dispersed from Goleta Beach in the wake of the 2018 Montecito debris flow

Researchers found larger farms used fewer agroecological practices and that organic farming on large farms more closely resembled conventional farming

Researchers aim to develop peanuts with high oil content that could be used as feedstock for lower-carbon fuel production.

In their study, the team investigated various properties and the genetic material of 916 wild and domesticated rye plants from different regions in Europe and Asia.

Scientists have discovered how to design cereal roots able to continue growing in hard soils by altering their ability to penetrate, enabling roots to access sources of water deeper in soil, and helping ‘climate-proof’ vital crops in response to changing UK rain fall patterns.

While the benefits of pollinators to crop yield are well known, their effect on crop stability was poorly understood until now.
