Integrated vs. Standalone POS: Boosting Retail Efficiency

Lucerne seed wasp (LSW) is a stealthy pest, with larvae feeding inside developing alfalfa seeds, making damage invisible until harvest or processing. This hidden threat can lead to substantial financial losses for growers. Research indicates that DNA-based monitoring, integrated with existing seed testing protocols, offers an effective way to quantify LSW presence and inform management decisions.

Unpredictable weather is forcing wheat growers to rethink planting dates. Virginia Tech's research uses drone-based remote sensing and regional data platforms to provide actionable insights for optimizing planting strategies, leading to potential yield increases and reduced risk of freeze damage.
