New wheat yield analysis method separates disease impact from natural senescence
The yield of wheat crops is influenced by sink strength (grain number and nutrient absorption capacity) and source capacity (photosynthetic tissue efficiency). While sink limitations are widely reported, source limitations due to diseases like septor.....»»
Study: Extreme rainfall increases agricultural nutrient runoff, conservation strategies can help
Nutrient runoff from agricultural production is a significant source of water pollution in the U.S., and climate change that produces extreme weather events is likely to exacerbate the problem. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champ.....»»
Soybean oil production residue can be used to make product that treats symptoms of menopause
Consuming soy foods is often said to be good for women's health, and much research has been conducted in recent decades to find out whether it can explain why Asian women, whose diet contains plenty of soy foods, have few or none of the usual symptom.....»»

Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda is warmer and more acidic than ever, 40 years of observation show
Decade-long ocean warming that impacts ocean circulation, a decrease in oxygen levels that contributes to changes in salinification and nutrient supply, and ocean acidification are just some of the challenges the world's oceans are facing......»»
"Forever chemicals" found in freshwater fish, yet most states don"t warn residents
Bill Eisenman has always fished. "Growing up, we ate whatever we caught—catfish, carp, freshwater drum," he said. "That was the only real source of fish in our diet as a family, and we ate a lot of it.".....»»
