Michigan State University scientists observed 8 to 30 percent yield increases in field trials, with field corn and wheat showing potential for further optimization. The compound occurs naturally in beeswax honey and various plants, and its use could help counter rising fertilizer costs.

Clyde Tombaugh, who found Pluto, notes it may be a large comet or asteroid and not a true tenth planet. Astronomer Charles Kowat of Caltech also questions its planetary status pending further study.
