Probiotics for tougher plants

Canadian researchers combine modern tech with ancient organisms to find solutions to mycotoxin-producing fungus. Ancestral varieties of modern corn and wheat might be the key to non-chemical mycotoxin prevention. More specifically, some of the strains of bacteria which naturally developed alongside those varieties have been shown by Canadian researchers to be highly effective against Fusarium head blight and Gibberella ear rot. Now these researchers are working with the private sector to develo
