Two new studies suggest that devoting a small fraction of U.S. farmland to solar power would be a boon both for the energy system and for farmers themselves.

Scientists developed a machine-learning tool that can teach itself, with minimal external guidance, to differentiate between aerial images of flowering and nonflowering grasses — an advance that will greatly increase the pace of agricultural field research, they say. 

High-starch algae are important in biofuel production, as a feed supplement in agriculture and as an efficient way to bind carbon dioxide. 

Gene editing tools like CRISPR are revolutionizing plant science by allowing precise and targeted improvements to plant traits, such as wood quality, disease resistance, or drought tolerance.

With droughts in the United States increasingly impacting wheat production, many producers are looking for more durable alternatives.

Lake Okeechobee, Florida’s largest freshwater lake, plays a vital role in the state’s ecosystem and water management.

As farmers debate whether fields should be used for agriculture or solar panels, new research from Michigan State University says the answer could be both.

Insects are disappearing at an alarming rate worldwide, but why?

University of Florida researchers are testing a new type of cattle feed that could help dairy cows release less methane gas from burps and flatulence and use nutrients more efficiently. 

Using spill treating agents to clean up oil spills does not significantly hinder naturally occurring oil biodegradation, according to a new study.
