Shielding Crops From Pests With Cutting-Edge Compound Solution

Agricultural, Industrial & Military, Tech /

Researchers came up with a novel chemical solution based on the scents of predator bugs to repel herbivorous pests and safeguard crops. Herbivorous insects are currently a major danger to farmers’ crop output. Predator insects that feed on herbivorous insects emit smells that the insects can detect. To escape being eaten, bugs change their behavior

Benefits of Focused Farming Over Eco-Friendly Agriculture

Agricultural /

Researchers at the University of Cambridge decided that concentrated farming that allows for natural habitats is preferable to environmentally friendly agribusiness. Based on the study findings, concentrated farming with the highest possible yields is the most effective agricultural method. This means that farming can be limited to smaller regions, allowing more space to be left
