Poor soil quality and low-water conditions significantly impact crop performance. This problem is exacerbated by the increased human activity and frequency of extreme weather events, both of which damage soil health and lead to reduced crop yield. Researc...
USU researchers have identified specific genes that promote apomictic seed set in plants. This allows crops to propagate themselves asexually, creating cost effective, efficient, and high yielding plants.
Compared with conventional methods, dehydrating foods using UV-A light requires less energy and maintenance, decreases environmental impact, and minimizes degradation of food quality while remaining safe for human operation.
Aggie Feed contains Mesobiliverdin (MBV) an anti-inflammatory agent that can be used as a probiotic to prevent/treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in animals while at the same time acting as a calcium supplement. Testing has been successfully proven on...
The Tart Cherry Yield Monitor makes yield monitoring affordable for shake and catch harvesting processes and allows growers access to the economies of precision agriculture.
USU researchers have designed a one-step, inexpensive synthesis of amphiphilic alkyl kanamycins (AKs) that uses all-natural components. The result is a new antifungal compound, KI07, which has in vitro activity against fungal pathogens.
