”The more the trees struggled with pine twisting rust, the more Diplodia we found in the shoots over the summer”, says Matilda Stein Åslund. There is likely a genetic component to this that can be used in pine breeding. slu.se/en/ew-news/2024/11/se…

If you release hoverflies in cultivation tunnels to combat aphids, do they stay and protect the crops or fly away? Paul Becher and his research team investigated this in tunnels with commercial raspberry and blackberry production: slu.se/en/ew-news/2024/10/fl…

For the first time, scientists have shown that a crop can control what a beneficial fungus does by sending sRNA molecules into the fungal cells. A big step forward for research into environmentally friendly pesticides in agriculture, says @MukeshDubey78 slu.se/en/ew-news/2024/10/wh…
