  1. Crop protection’s next race is not biology vs chemistry. It’s a search for a broader toolbox. BASF’s AgBiTech deal, Bayer’s new herbicide push, and Bindbridge’s protein-degradation bet all point to the same shift. agtech.industryexaminer.com/cr #AgTech #CropProtection #TechNews

  2. Biologicals want to go mainstream.
    They may first have to earn it on the seed.
    Our latest #AgTech feature looks at why seed treatment could become the real proving ground for crop biologicals — with Ascribe Bio, Corteva, and the wider competitive context around Syngenta and BASF. agtech.industryexaminer.com/bi

  6. Scientists at the Danforth Plant Science Center and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, are conducting groundbreaking research on the plant immune system. They want to understand how plants communicate with each other and how they protect themselves from harmful viruses and other invaders. This research is important because it could help us find new ways to protect crops from diseases and pests.

  7. Ukrainian farmers are taking measures to protect their crops, with agrarians in Vinnytsia region using techniques to protect blossoming orchards from overnight frosts. #UkrainianAgriculture #CropProtection

  8. "Internal FAO documents show that the agency was aware of widespread environmental and public health problems that resulted from its distribution of #pesticides. The agency’s own assessment found that the toxic chemicals were handed to farmers without any protective equipment, such as gloves and coveralls, or adequate training on how to use them safely."
