In a review, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign professor Stephen Long describes potential methods for “future-proofing” crops against climate change. Higher temperatures, more frequent and ...

Your harvest data can be a treasure trove of information. However, without the proper approach, all that data can be overwhelming and a jumbled mess. Whether you have corn yield data or soybean yield ...

As the world’s population continues to grow and the area of arable land continues to diminish, the need to optimise crop yields becomes more significant. Moreover, this objective must be secured in ...

"We found that really wasn't the case. There was a significant negative impact of ozone on yield, regardless of drought," said study co-author Lisa Ainsworth, C.A. Ewing Chair of Crop Physiology and ...
