Toxin that boosts the virulence of Metarhizium anisopliae discovered by scientists
Researchers from the Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Department of Entomology at the University of Maryland in the United States have discovered a neurotoxin that can enhance the virulence of an insecticide, providing important material for the application of this insecticide, as well as for studying the mechanism of action of fungal insecticides and the molecular mechanism of fungus-insect interactions. The results of this study were published in Nature Biotechnol

Why does agriculture need more scientists who stay close to industry?
Compared with most researchers, Zhang Chunhui's path in scientific research does indeed seem somewhat unconventional. Yet it is precisely this unconventionality that gave him a comprehensive and deep understanding of China's meat processing industry, and enabled him, after returning to a research institution, to carry out research tackling key problems according to the needs of industrial development

Chinese scientists discover that the dominant wheat aphid species is changing due to climate change
Recently, a team led by researcher Ma Chunsen of the Institute of Plant Protection, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, after 6 years of research, found that climate change has broken the original balance of agricultural pest communities, changed the relative dominance among species in pest communities, and caused succession of the dominant species. It can

Chinese Scientists Combat Soil Disease to Protect 45 Million Mu of Greenhouse Crops
"In the past, when the fields were hit by disease, the yield per mu was no more than 8,000 jin, and crop rotation and fallowing didn't help either. Now with soil fumigation technology, the annual yield per mu can reach around 13,000 jin." Wang Wengang, a farmer from Shidui Town, Anqiu, Shandong, who has grown ginger for ten years, told reporters. Old Wang's story of increasing income
