BrianEshenaur, associate director of New York State Integrated Pest Management at Cornell University, is available to discuss the discovery of a population of the invasive spotted lanternfly in the Finger Lakes grape-growing region of New York for the first time.
New research confirms glyphosate-resistant waterhemp for the first time in New York state, with significant consequences for soybean growers, many of whom use the herbicide as their primary method of weed control.
Knowing the duration and timing of when migratingmallard ducks – natural carriers of avian influenza – stop and rest can help predict the probability that they will infect backyard poultry flocks.
The United States and Canada have been fighting about milk for years, but new Cornell research suggests recent Canadian trade concessions removed some barriers to U.S. dairy exports.
In response to dairy industry needs, a team of researchers found that avian flu persisted in raw milk for as long as eight weeks when refrigerated - but also that it did not survive pasteurization and even some subpasteurization temperatures.
In collaboration with farmers, researchers found that emission intensities from New York state dairy farms were lower per gallon of milk than national estimates and among the lowest reported across continents.
In the U.S., strategically converting a small fraction of land used to grow corn for ethanol to solar facilities could vastly increase energy production per hectare, as well as provide ecological benefits and financial resiliency for farmers.
