Experts doubt FBI’s claim that crop fungus smuggled by Chinese students is a threat
A biological sample that a Chinese researcher was accused of smuggling into the United States and that prosecutors cast as a “dangerous biological pathogen” is a common type of fungus already widespread in U.S. crop fields that likely poses little risk to food safety, experts said.
Fungicide, glyphosate don’t hurt your hard red wheat quality
In terms of grain quality, this University of Manitoba-led research finds weather and variety matter most
The idea that weather and wheat variety do more to impact grain quality isn’t necessarily surprising, but new research offers up the good news that fungicides and glyphosate aren’t making the farmer’s crop worse.
