Butterflies and moths collect so much static electricity while in flight that pollen grains from flowers can be pulled across air gaps of several millimetres or centimetres. The finding, published […] Read more
Static electricity attracts pollen to insects
Science Notes: Butterflies, moths pull pollen to them without touching plants
Crop biological clocks show spraying success affected by time of day
Researchers found that biological processes in plants can determine spray success
The most efficient use of herbicides depends on their timing relating to weather – but it also may depend on the biological clocks of the plants being sprayed. Research at […] Read more
