University of Idaho researchers are working with counterparts at the University of Kentucky and Clemson University to breed stronger plants as part of a four-year quest to increase grain yields and reduce crop loss.

The problem arises as a result of factors ranging from high nitrogen levels to storm damage to disease and seed type. Read more
