Synopsis: 4.4. animals: Pest:

One reason for the cassava miracle has been the ongoing breeding of improved varieties that are more resistant to disease, pest, and drought.

the rugged bags provide an airtight seal for long-term, pest-free storage. The Gates Foundation estimates that by using them,

Starting in the 1970s, researchers in Nigeria successfully bred varieties of cassava that are more resistant to pests

or resist insect pests. This has allowed farmers to increase yields and spray less pesticide than they might have otherwise.

The key is an alarm pheromone that some species of wild plant have evolved to mimic the chemical warning signals put out by aphids#a major crop pest in the temperate zones

Unlike Bt cotton and other existing GM organisms, such a crop would need no insect-killing chemical for protection from pests.

or will those differences make them ultra-adaptable where they will thrive to the point of becoming a pest to their surroundings.

and even pest and disease resistance. There is potential for these multifunctional techno-greenhouses built around LED grow lights to increase the quality of the food we eat

Brown is among a growing number of farmers who use a suite of techniques to build soil's natural capacity to retain moisture discourage weeds and pests and nurture crops.

Evidence is emerging that specific wavelengths of light have distinct effects on crop yield quality and even pest and disease resistance.

And because there's no soil there's a lot less need to spray for pests. Fruits and vegetables including cherry tomatoes lettuce cucumbers

because the regulations for GM plants derive from the Federal Plant Pest Act, a decades-old law intended to safeguard against plant pathogens from overseas.

The Plant Pest Act was completely inappropriate for regulating biotech crops, but the USDA jury-rigged it, says Bill Freese, science-policy analyst at the Center for Food safety in WASHINGTON DC.

Now we can foresee this loophole getting wider and wider as companies turn more to plants and away from bacteria and other plant-pest organisms.

has stuck so far to a strict interpretation of a 1957 law designed to protect agriculture against plant pests that was coopted in 1986 to regulate GM CROPS.

a bacterial pest that can insert DNA into plant genomes. In 2011, APHIS regulators announced that a herbicide-tolerant Kentucky bluegrass would not fall under their purview,

or any other plant-pest DNA to engineer the grass. The company, Scotts  Miracle-Gro of Marysville, Ohio,

(i e. they don't die from) pest and herbicides that are sprayed on them. Tomatoes Tomahtoes I guess

Currently the GMOS on the market today have been given genetic traits to provide protection from pests tolerance to pesticides

covert wars and for only willy brown got shellno pest strip's!@.@and no jet boarding calls on 9-11!

Until five years ago the main fumigation technique and pest control inside warehouses and silos was the use of chemical substances such as aluminum phosphide and methyl bromide

and modifying the internal atmosphere of the room using this technique pest free grains are obtained during the whole purchase sale and storage cycle.

and engineers may have found a way to prevent the spread of the pests. Emerald ash borers (EABS) a type of beetle native to Asia first appeared in the U s. about 20 years ago.

They also ran a pilot test in Hungary with a related beetle pest that bores into oak trees.

what the U s. Department of agriculture Forest Service claims to be the most destructive forest pest ever seen in North america said Michael Domingue postdoctoral fellow in entomology Penn State.

Early detection of the pest in traps such as ours can help in coordinating management strategies to slow its spread

and similar pests in ways that can help to trap them and monitor where they might be doing damage.

and mitigation of invasive pests he said. The researchers said their next step will be to further improve the traps to maximize their potential as part of an early detection tool for emerald ash borers.

so that activity of the pest can be reported and assessed immediately by APHIS personnel rather than waiting days

and potentially invasive pest species effectively said Domingue. Story Source: The above story is provided based on materials by Penn State.

Some of the things that indoor growing environments don't have are pests, molds and infections.

It goes without saying that Mulligan's idea also ignores the actual services that various ecosystems render to us humans refreshing the air, cleaning water, reducing pests, and so on.
