New Research Alert!! 🌱 🔬 We’ve just cracked a new way to fight the Diamondback Moth (Plutella xylostella)—one of the biggest threats to crops worldwide! Our team at Telluris Biotech has developed an innovative lab-based screening method to identify host plants that can resist this pest, and it’s a GAME CHANGER for sustainable agriculture! 🌱 This revolutionary screening method drastically shortens the time to identify pest-resistant plants, meaning faster, more sustainable solutions for farmers around the globe! 🌍 👉 Dive into the full study here: DOI: https://lnkd.in/gC8FqfK9 Huge thanks to my amazing team and co-authors for pushing the boundaries of #agriculture and #biotech! Together, we’re creating a healthier, more resilient future for crops. 🌾 Yogiraj Zirwal Venu Polineni #InnovationInAgriculture #SustainableFarming #PestControl #CropProtection #DBM #TellurisBiotech #ScienceForGood #Research #BiotechRevolution #DiamondbackMoth #HostPlantResistance #AgricultureScience #GlobalImpact #FarmingFuture

Exciting news for Aussie ag researchers & regenerative farmers! MADE has kicked off field trials for our novel biofertiliser strategies across 5 locations in Victoria! 🇦🇺 This project is a culmination of over 12 months of research, including a global review across agriculture, hydroponics, human health & cosmetics! We then conducted 300+ seed germination tests and extensive pot trials to refine our biofertiliser approaches. To ensure real-world relevance, we partnered with 5 curious farmers. Our trials incorporate diverse soil conditions, microclimates, and baseline analyses. We're testing a range of biofertiliser solutions: - Seed treatments - Biological treatments (including digestate!) - Precision ag for enhanced monitoring Early observations show promise, with some farmers reporting earlier emergence in bio-treated crops! Researchers & regenerative farmers: - Stay tuned for regular updates & demonstration days! - Sign up for our newsletter for detailed trial progress reports. Let's revolutionise Australian agriculture together!

"It has been eye-opening to be a part of the research community and experience the trials and tribulations that come with it!"   As part of their biotechnology course, BSc students Marie Rosenkrands, Helena Kaagaard, and Sara Kristine Hagen joined a project aimed at finding new sustainable solutions to global agricultural challenges.   The team investigated a biocontrol method to target agricultural pests, especially the Western flower thrips, which cause significant damage to crops worldwide. Here’s what they discovered:   "Our goal was to determine whether symbiotic bacteria on the Western flower thrips contribute to resistance against the biopesticide Beauveria bassiana, a fungus used to kill insects. Our findings revealed that these bacteria can influence fungal growth, which has important implications for developing more effective and sustainable pest control strategies."   "This project not only advanced our understanding of bacteria-fungi interactions but was a step toward more environmentally friendly agricultural practices. We believe that exploring these natural relationships can lead to safer, more sustainable pest management solutions that benefit both ecosystems and global food security."   “We would like to thank our supervisor Laura V. Flórez for guiding us through this exciting project. We are grateful for all the knowledge and experience we gained!" 🌱🔬   #SustainableAgriculture #Biocontrol #PestManagement #Research #Agriculture #EnvironmentalScience #UniversityOfCopenhagen #WesternFlowerThrips #Biotech #Fungus #FungiMoreLikeFunGuy

The hottest sector in agri inputs is unarguably Biologicals. But as many companies plan to hop on this trend and are looking to add biologicals to their portfolio, there seems to be a huge knowledge gap. Biologicals afterall are very complicated, spanning a wide range from molecules to microbes and from stimulants to crop protection. Interestingly there are some modes of action that are only possible with biologicals, and not possible with chemicals. With so much to unpack, Bioprime™ Knowledge Camp is our way of building and sharing information. So make sure you follow Bioprime™ as we unveil nuances of Biologicals starting with the fastest growing segment Seaweed Biostimulants. Stay tuned.

✨ It’s World Soil Day ✨   Sustainable agriculture can only be achieved with heathy soils. At Aphea.Bio, we strongly believe in the power of biostimulants and their potential to enhance soil health and ecosystem services. We are committed to establishing reliable methods to measure soil health. In collaboration with Faculty of Bioscience Engineering UGent / Ghent University and CropFit we are working on a framework to assess the impact of microbial biostimulants on soil ecosystems. Providing reliable measurements will play an important role in achieving our goal of a more sustainable future – from reducing the CO2 footprint to providing healthy foods! #WorldSoilDay #sustainability #agriculture
