They are so small that Nihat Yildirim, pepper farmer from Turkey, cannot see them with his naked eye. But worldwide the worms destroy more than ten percent of the yield every year. Nihat Yildirim is placing his hopes on a new product from Bayer, which is currently being introduced into the market in
Plants have developed responses called tropisms. A tropism is a growth in response to a stimulus; so light and water in the plant’s case. There are different types of tropisms: Positive tropisms are when growth is towards the stimulus - so the plant growing towards the light to maximise the stimul
If a plant has enough water, minerals and energy it will grow right? Well sort of… but there is more to it - like why do plants bend towards the light and not just grow straight? And how come the stem grows up but the roots grow down? It isn’t as if a plant has eyes to tell it where the sun is. Pl

Earthworms & leeches, parasitic nematodes, bristle worms, velvet worms, bobbit worms! Dr. Anna J. Phillips, Curator of Parasitic Worms and Protozoa at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History took us back into the invertebrate zoology collection to help shed light on these complex and re
Not even a millimeter long but still able to destroy complete harvests - the nematode. These harmful worms infect the roots of plants and suck nutrients and water out of them. A biological product from Bayer can help the crops. What nematodes mean to farmers is explained by Nihat Yildirim, a sweet
My forest needs insects, and to attract them I need to get busy again. To do this, I got myself a few shrubs I want to plant today. In this video you'll learn how to do it and what you need to keep in mind.
In this video we are going to look at a few different ways in which plant hormones can be used. Plant growth hormones (auxins) can be used as selective weedkillers. The selective weedkillers contain growth hormones, that cause the weeds to grow really quickly. This means the weed is absorbing nutr

Carbon nanotubes, or CNT, are being used to make products stronger, lighter, faster, and more efficient. But are they safe? A growing body of research is raising concerns over the hazards presented by some forms of the material. As ever though, the risk to health depends on who is exposed to what
