A new study suggests that decades of reported gains in crop yields from plant breeding may be significantly overstated, challenging a common method used worldwide to measure genetic progress. The ...

Cleaner air may do more than protect health - it could also improve crop growth and increase the food supply for millions by ...

The continued increase in global food demand and the pressing challenges posed by climate change have spurred significant advancements in both crop and pasture improvement. Researchers are designing ...

As climate pressure mounts, new platforms tackle delivery, regulation, trait stacking, and data bottlenecks limiting agricultural genome editing.

A team of researchers from the Spanish National Research Council, an entity attached to the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities, has made a significant advance in plant ...

For four days this past week, more than 100 crop scouts sampled 2,000 to 3,000 fields in seven Midwest states as part of the one-of-a-kind Pro Farmer Crop Tour. Building on the boots-on-the-ground ...

When it comes to upper Midwest crops, sugarbeets are one of the younger siblings. According to a history of sugarbeets on the American Sugarbeet Growers Association website, precursors to modern ...

How will future climate change affect nitrogen loss, and will cover crops still be effective in removing nitrogen from drainage water? A new study investigating near- and far-term climate change in ...

August is typically the month when we get the first producer survey yield estimates from USDA, as well as yield projections from major private firms. This yield data is gathered in different formats ...
