The life of a farmer is a life of uncertainty. Farmers frequently need to reevaluate their current production practices in light of new recommendations to determine if changes would be beneficial. New production practices might be more economical or more sustainable…

Coccidiosis is the most prevalent disease in commercial poultry production. As an enteric disease, it directly impacts how efficiently the bird can use nutrients. The most effective anticoccidial drugs also have some antibiotic activity, so as producers move…

As U.S. consumers continue to explore world cuisines, many have developed a taste for the fragrant jasmine-type rice used in many southern Asian dishes. However, Arkansas, the leading rice growing…

While crop damage from drift of auxin herbicides such as dicamba has received a lot of attention, there isn’t much information about what might happen if a susceptible plant absorbs those herbicides ….

Vein necrosis is the most widespread soybean virus disease in North America during hot, dry summers. Soybean vein necrosis virus, or SVNV, reduces seed oil content and is seed-borne, affecting international movement of seed…

Gluten-free products are increasingly popular, however, creating gluten-free foods that offer the same taste, texture and appearance as baked goods with gluten is challenging. Gluten-free baked goods tend to be harder, denser and …

Rice is a staple food for billions of people around the world. However, people relying on rice as their main source of energy are most likely to suffer from nutrient deficiencies such as iron and calcium. Additionally, potassium deficiencies are of concern….

Chlorides, or salts, occur in soils and water sources in many areas of the United States, including much of eastern Arkansas. Soybeans grown in high chloride environments are subject to salt stress …

Every year, drought impacts agricultural yield in some part of the world. Soybean, one of the most widely-grown crops on earth, is no exception. When drought conditions strike and yield falls, growers suffer economically…

Variety development is a core effort in the Division of Agriculture research. The need for new breeding material with important genetic traits in environmental tolerances, disease resistance and food quality and yield is never-ending. But it can take …
