Selective spraying is the technology of detecting weeds in a crop or on fallow ground and only spraying the weed. The reduction in herbicides can be between 60% and 90%, depending on the weed density ...

(a) Crop breeding driven by the next generation of AI and big data technologies will be revolutionized in four areas: (i) high-throughput phenotype acquisition and analysis; (ii) biological big ...

The already sophisticated breeding systems for major commodity crops like Corn and Soybeans are being synergized through the use of genome editing technology Genome editing with CRISPR and other tools ...

Since the dawn of farming some 10,000 years ago, the health of agriculture has been inextricably linked to the health of the planet. Now the climate crisis is disrupting farming across the globe. Yet ...

Maize is a globally cultivated staple crop and one of the most successful examples of heterosis utilization in food production. The development of elite inbred lines is critical for breeding hybrid ...

In a major step toward securing global food supplies and advancing sustainable agriculture, a team of scientists has proposed an integrated framework that combines biotechnology and artificial ...

For millennia, developing resilient crops relied on pollination by nature or humans—making the process long and often costly. Now, scientists from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology ...

With global population growth and climate change posing escalating threats to crop production, the current food system is unlikely to be sufficient to meet future demand. Although more than 12,000 ...
