Scientists Don Ort (right), Paul South (center) and Amanda Cavanagh (left) study how well their plants modified to bypass photorespiration perform beside non-modified plants in real-world conditions. They found that plants engineered with a synthetic shortcut are about 40 percent more productive.

Succesful first year for NPPL precision ag project

epa05249160 (FILE) A file picture dated 31 March 2014 shows machines during the beginning of the harvest of soy in farm Delta in Correntina, Bahia, Brazil. Brazil, one of the world's leading food producers, is projected to harvest 210 million metric tons of grain this year, down 0.6 percent from the March forecast, the government said 07 April 2016. Even with the lower forecast, Brazil's 2016 harvest would still exceed last year's record total of 209.5 million metric tons. The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) projects that soybeans, rice and corn, Brazil's three leading crops, will account for 93 percent of farm production this year and occupy 86.9 percent of the harvested area.

2014-06-17 21:37:49 TO GO WITH AFP STOY by Rob LEVER, US-farm-IT-Internet-environment A global positioning receiver is seen on the top of a combine harvester at the Little Bohemia Creek farm on June 17, 2014 in Warwick, Maryland. The farm on Maryland's eastern shore is part of a growing "precision agriculture" movement that uses high-tech tools to replace seat-of-the-pants farming. GPS auto-steered tractors cut down or eliminate overplowing and overlap that wastes fuel and time. Other technologies can sense just how much water is needed in a field to cut irrigation costs. At Little Bohemia Creek, the tractor's sensors gauge the health of various segments of a field to deliver fertilizer and other chemicals more efficiently, which has an environmental benefit.
