Crop lodging, also known as lodging or falling over, refers to the bending or breaking of the stems or stalks of crops near the base, often due to adverse weather conditions or inadequate plant support. This phenomenon can significantly reduce crop yields and quality. Several factors contribute to crop lodging: 1. Wind: 2. Heavy Rainfall: […]

Sugar transport and grain fill are crucial processes in plants, especially in cereal crops like wheat, corn, rice, and barley, where sugars produced during photosynthesis are transported and utilized to fill and develop grains. This process is fundamental for achieving optimal grain yield and quality. Here’s an overview of how sugar transport contributes to grain […]

Fusarium Head Blight (FHB), also known as scab, is a destructive fungal disease that affects cereal crops, including wheat, barley, oats, and rye. The disease primarily affects the heads (spikes) of these plants, leading to reduced yield, poor grain quality, and the production of mycotoxins harmful to humans and livestock. Effective management of Fusarium Head […]
