Autonomous pest control vehicles could become a valuable asset to farmers in the future as they create an opportunity for new intelligence and a way of managing pests in crop fields. Kansas State University precision agricultural engineer Ajay Sharda says that small, robotic vehicles could identify sites of infestation, decide if it is beyond a critical level and whether it should be sprayed. Currently, this technology is not ready for farmers, he ...

Much has been said and written about the potential shortages of glyphosate and glufosinate that are expected in 2022. And because of that fact, I’m not going to try to add too much more to this discussion. After talking about this with growers and retailers around the state and after my (admittedly abbreviated) winter meeting season, I’m also not sure who will have a shortage of these herbicides in 2022 and ...

When plant geneticists find a gene that improves crop yields, they want to try to insert that same change into other crops. But Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Professor and HHMI Investigator Zachary Lippman cautions that just knowing what a single gene does is not enough. He discovered that it pays to know what other closely related genes might be lurking in the genome to block a hoped-for improvement. In research reported in Nature Plants, Lippman, former ...

A technological revolution in farming led by advances in robotics and sensing technologies looks set to disrupt modern practice. Over the centuries, as farmers have adopted more technology in their pursuit of greater yields, the belief that 'bigger is better' has come to dominate farming, rendering small-scale operations impractical. But advances in robotics and sensing technologies are threatening to disrupt today's agribusiness model. “There is the potential for intelligent robots to ...

OPEN INNOVATION TO DEVELOP A VACCINE THAT WILL HELP KILL SARS-CoV-2 The current Covid-19 vaccines aim at preventing illness and death. This is wonderful. But they are not designed to eliminate the virus itself, nor prevent its transmission. In themselves, they will not put an end to the pandemic. The reason is simple: injectable vaccines elicit systemic humoral and cell-mediated immune responses, but they do little if anything to induce protective immunity on ...
