Sensors developed by SMART researchers are capable of detecting pH changes in plant xylem enable farmers to detect drought stress up to 48 hours before visible physical symptoms manifest. […]
Researchers across MIT are working on ways to boost food production and help crops survive drought. […]
Membranes based on natural silk and cellulose can remove many contaminants, including “forever chemicals” and heavy metals. […]
Fake seeds can cost farmers more than two-thirds of expected crop yields and threaten food security. Trackable silk labels could help. […]
Researchers have developed a biodegradable system based on silk to replace microplastics added to agricultural products, paints, and cosmetics. Microplastics, tiny particles of plastic that are now found worldwide in the air, water, and soil, are […]
New study shows Egypt will import more water than water supplied by the Nile if changes are not made Egypt will import more water (virtual water) than the water supplied by the Nile, if the population […]
A new seed-coating process could facilitate agriculture on marginal arid lands by enabling the seeds to retain any available water. As the world continues to warm, many arid regions that already have marginal conditions for agriculture […]
