Wheat research benefits producers
Producing plant cultivars is like releasing a new technology. Technology changes with the times and allows us to purchase the latest computer or smartphone. New varieties of plants (called "cultivars") are much the same - always changing.
Pecan research moves into the 21st century
For decades, scientists have used molecular markers for research and breeding purposes to increase yields and water and nutrient efficiencies as well as disease and insect resistance in agricultural crops. Recently, pecan scientists have looked at the development of new technologies used in this research and considered its use in pecan breeding and research.

New Toolbox to Help Develop and Grow Better Alfalfa
Scientists at the Noble Research Institute have developed the Alfalfa Breeder's Toolbox (available at: alfalfatoolbox.org) as a comprehensive, web-based portal to address practical challenges for alfalfa production and accelerate breeding to develop new enhanced cultivars with better performance.
How to Recognize Grafted and Native Pecan Trees for Best Management of Your Orchard
Management needs differ among pecan cultivars. Management between natives and improved pecans can differ dramatically as well.
Establishment of Perennial Cool-Season Grasses Depends on Controlling Winter Annual Weeds
Cool-season perennial grasses can improve seasonal forage, but successful establishment requires control of naturally reseeding ryegrass, rescuegrass and other winter annual weeds.
