                    [Summary] => A corn plant normally yield only one ear.


Thus, one that turns out two is a big boon to the corn industry.


Now, it is no longer a wonder for corn plants, particularly hybrids, to produce doubled-eared corn, a headway in R&D that could boost corn production.


Take the case of Hendrito Revamonte of Baungon, Bukidnon, who harvested an average of 10 tons per hectare in last year’s wet season using Pioneer R hybrid 30M50. The national average for corn production is only 3.5 t/ha.

                    [Summary] => In unprecedented space research, DuPont scientists have discovered that soybeans grown in space are similar to Earth-grown crops – unleashing the ability to sustainably grow vegetation to support long-term human presence in space. Soybeans are one of the most consumed crops in the world today.


During a DuPont research mission that concluded with the return of Space Shuttle Atlantis last October, soybean seeds planted and nurtured by DuPont scientists germinated, developed into plants, flowered and produced new seedpods in space aboard the International Space Station.
