LOS ANGELES, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- While bees are not typically considered vital in the growing of strawberries, a new study from The Cal Poly Strawberry Center and Beeflow will explore the use of managed honeybees in strawberry pollination. The first-of-its-kind research funded by the California Strawberry Commission (CSC) and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) hopes to harvest many results, including reduction of food waste by up to one-third.

Key Points: 
  • "We hope that this work will highlight the important role that bees can have in California strawberry production," said Angelita De la Luz PhD, Beeflow.
  • "The results will help growers produce more with less, while fostering a food system that is more in harmony with nature."
  • The year-long study, a partnership between the CSC and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, could substantially decrease food waste, improve shelf life and reduce pesticide use.
  • The research like this study with The Cal Poly Strawberry Center - aims to change the paradigm in pollination and improve crop yields.

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As Nebraska farmers brace for high corn rootworm (CRW) pressure following a major resurgence in the Corn Belt in 2021, Golden Harvest is releasing new Agronomy in Action trial data showing that Duracade™ traited hybrids paired with a soil-applied Force® brand insecticide provide excellent CRW control and yield benefits.

Key Points: 
  • Corn rootworm is often called the "billion dollar pest" as it can create huge problems for farmers throughout its life cycle.
  • Larvae feeding on roots can lead to reduced yield potential, root lodging, reduced stalk strength, among other concerns.
  • Adult beetles can clip silks, reduce pollination, and then lay eggs that create and worsen problems the following season.
  • The trials showed this approach offers farmers potential yield benefits of as much as 41 bushels per acre (bu/A) over untreated, non-traited options.
