Kansas seeks broader permethrin use to fight corn borers
Kansas farmers stand to gain millions as state officials secure an EPA exemption for permethrin use on field corn to control southwestern corn borer, with potential expansion to the European corn borer.

Prehistoric Eating Habits Boost Science at Kansas State
Kansas State geologist Page Twiss presents a method to identify microscopic grass skeletons from ancient diets. The system classifies hundreds of grass species to reconstruct past climate, plant life, and soil up to 20 million years, aided by durable opal-silica fossils in leaves.
