Cows don’t just moo – they also talk about the weather, say scientists
A new study says that cows have their own language and can talk to each other about food and the weather. Researchers, led by a Ph.D. candidate from the University of Sydney, discovered that dairy cows have their own individual voice and they respond to positive and negative emotional situations. The team of researchers created a […]

Bee massacre: Pesticide use decimates Brazilian bee population
More than 500 million bees in Brazil died in just three months. Scientists are linking these mass deaths to an increased use of pesticides. Beekeepers reported mass die-offs of bees in four Brazilian states from October 2018 to March 2019. The state of Rio Grande do Sul, in particular, recorded the highest losses. But Brazilian bees […]

Plants redirect electrons to an alternative route to prevent damage caused by oxidative stress
It may not seem like it, but plants can also experience stress – oxidative stress, that is – from absorbing too much light. Now, scientists are looking into the process by which plants manage oxidative stress. Researchers from Kobe University have recently released the results of a study that looked into how plants manage oxidative stress. The study focused […]

Researchers “shed light” on plants’ circadian clocks: Findings could be used to improve future crops
Every person has a circadian clock, an invisible internal mechanism synchronized with solar time. This “clock,” according to the National Sleep Foundation, drives a person’s circadian rhythm, which regulates daily sleep-wake cycles. As it turns out, even plants have one, too. First discovered in 1729 by French geophysicist and chronobiologist Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de Mairan after […]

The grass is always greener (and the soil is healthier) on the side of conservation agriculture
Conservation agriculture (CA) practices are adaptable and can be customized to the requirements of crops and local conditions. While this farming system considers soil health and the impact it has on the ecosystem, it is not without its disadvantages. The early days of CA implementation may present various problems, such as nitrogen immobilization and weed interference. Both […]

Glyphosate and its byproduct AMPA found to heavily contaminate farms, rivers, cities and rural areas across America
Natural News and other members of the independent media have been warning about the dangers of glyphosate – the primary ingredient in Roundup, the world’s most popular weed killer – for many years. Not so the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or any other American governmental authority. In fact, while country after country banned glyphosate or […]

Natural soil amendments: Wood ash and crushed rock effectively increase nitrogen bioavailability in soil, acting as a non-chemical fertilizer
In a recent experiment, scientists analyzed whether adding wood ash or crushed rock to a low-fertility soil, as compared with an unamended control, will result in a fertilizer effect. The results showed that the wood ash created the highest accumulated clover biomass over two cuts, followed by the crushed rock. The circular economy concept focuses […]

Scientists: Long history of fertilizer use on land is threatening our water quality today
Imagine you’re driving down a long, straight road through rural farmland. One either side of you are beautiful green farms. The produce being grown on these farms looks healthy and appears to be thriving. Now picture the land beneath those farms as massive sponges. Like all sponges, put enough liquid in and eventually the absorption […]

How carbon dioxide benefits the planet with accelerated reforestation, improved crop growth and re-greening
One of the quintessential doctrines of the Cult of Climate Change maintains that carbon dioxide, or CO2, is a harmful “pollutant” that’s destroying our planet. But as revealed in an in-depth report on the benefits of CO2, nothing could be further from the truth. In his paper, independent scholar and author Indur Goklany explains how […]

Manure-based fertilizers are ideal alternatives to conventional varieties, according to a study
A seven-year-long study conducted by Spanish researchers in a farm under the Mediterranean sun has concluded its comparison of natural and synthetic fertilizers. The researchers reported that manure-based fertilizer greatly improved the crop yield, both on its own and when added to chemical fertilizer. The goal of the Universitat de Lleida (UDL) research team was […]
