Nighttime plowing shown to cut weed emergence in studies
Agricultural researchers report up to 80 percent reduction in weed emergence after plowing in darkness, with 50 percent common during trials. Tests in Minnesota and Iowa compared night tillage to daytime herbicide use, noting light exposure triggers weed seeds to sprout. Further work needed on light sensitivity and tillage depth.

Gene tinkering to guard crops eyed by US researchers
USDA Agricultural Research Service scientists in Raleigh North Carolina isolated and cloned a gene that shields fungi from their own toxins and may transfer it to corn and soybeans to inoculate against gray leaf spot and purple seed stain. Gray leaf spot can cut corn yields by half and is a major threat to production.
