"The community's sole source of water, the Byron-Bethany Irrigation District, was one of 114 senior water rights holders cut off by a curtailment notice from the state on Friday,"reports CBS. And just like that,
They become as safe as fertilizer.""It will be years before computers containing wood-based computer chips hit store shelves,
but computers as fertilizer isn't a totally crazy idea. Society tends to treat electronics as disposable commodities.
Many of the mosquitoes that carry the disease are also resistant to pesticides, which meant that Brazilians were left with few options to decrease dengue prevalence.
The researchers hope this will enable the breeding of bespoke poppy varieties including those that produce the anticancer compound noscapine.
he discovery of the STORR gene provides us with a new tool for molecular plant breeding,
uses hydroponics systems and LED lighting to produce a range of vegetables and herbs including celery, rocket, parsley, radish,
A pesticide free farming process-the results of 18 months of research and preparation-has been designed to produce crops with the least amount of energy expenditure possible.
The operators claim the hydroponics and looped irrigation system they use requires 70 percent less water than open-field farming
and can produce crops all year round, but perhaps Growing Underground greatest asset when it comes to low-impact farming will be its location.
this facility is expected to produce up to 1 million kilograms of pesticide free produce annually. With food supply management and security looking to be an increasing concern this century due to all sorts of environmental and economic factors,
and fertilizers and adopt improved technology to address labor shortages. Africarice is involved actively in discussing

#Insights into a rare genetic disease Recently a grassroots effort initiated by families and clinicians led to the discovery of a human genetic disorder with severe consequences that is linked to a mutation in the human NGLY1 gene.
The process could be applied in plant breeding as a way to create haploid plants with genetic material from only one parent,
They become as safe as fertilizer.""Nowadays, the majority of portable electronics are built on nonrenewable, non-biodegradable materials such as silicon wafers,
Several PCBS, the pesticide Mirex and ß-hexachlorocyclohexane, a by-product of the pesticide Lindane, were linked also strongly to earlier menopause.
and nitrous oxides from fertilizers and other soil treatments rose 13 percent after 1990, the study concluded.
Reducing the overuse of fertilizers, protecting the organic content of soils by changing farming practices,

The severe shortages of rain and snowfall have hurt California's $46 billion agricultural industry and helped raise national awareness of the longer-term shortages that are affecting the entire Colorado river basin.
and the state's agricultural industry is suffering. A recent study by U. C. Davis researchers projected that the drought would cost California's economy $2. 7 billion in 2015 alone.
They become as safe as fertilizer. Zhiyong Cai project leader for an engineering composite science research group at FPL,
In a world first, Professor Wallace Cowling from The UWA Institute of Agriculture and his team have taken the breeding model commonly used by animal breeders,
Animal breeders have developed a method of breeding that takes into account information from all relatives across all generations.
the new breeding method could speed up genetic improvements for desirable traits such as grain quality and yield.
In their broader uses, microbial polymers are used for food production, chemical production, detergents, cosmetics, paints, pesticides, fertilizers, film formers, lubricants, explosives, pharmaceutical production and waste treatment.
Two of Hinestroza students created a hooded bodysuit embedded with insecticides using metal organic framework molecules,
While insecticide-treated nets are common in African homes the antimalarial garment can be worn during the day to provide extra protection
Alexander Richter, the paper first author and an NC State Ph d. candidate says that the particles could be the basis for reduced risk pesticide products with reduced cost
#RNA insecticide could target specific pests A novel insecticide targets a specific gene in a pest,
killing only that bug species on crops and avoiding collateral damage to beneficial insects caused by today pesticides.
a Cornell study published online in Pest Management Science describes how the RNA-based insecticide can be effective for at least 28 days
whether an RNA-insecticide spray would be stable enough to use in agriculture. The researchers matched double-stranded (ds) RNA to an actin gene in Colorado potato beetle
the ds actin-RNA insecticide was highly effective on potato beetles that ate the leaves. he major problem with conventional insecticides is they affect non-target organisms,
the manager in Scott lab. his is an insecticide that is based on a specific gene. Thus, you might be able to kill only that specific insect,
and the stalk is placed in solution with RNA insecticide, and potato beetles ate that leaf, mortality occurred but it wasn as high.
Before such an insecticide is ready for market, it needs more work, Scott said. For example, the cost of making RNA insecticide is currently much higher than conventional insecticides.
Also for the insecticide to work, insects need to eat the leaf, which means the spray will not affect insects that don eat leaves, such as houseflies,
or those that suck sap, such as aphids. Also, some insects are unaffected simply, perhaps due to gut enzymes that break down the ds RNA. he technology is really at its infancy,
They become as safe as fertilizer, "said Ma. He added:""Mass-producing current semiconductor chips is so cheap,
For example, companies that perform these releases have no way of breeding only males.""They're throwing away half of the mosquitoes that they rear because theye females,
