THESE are difficult times for UK farmers. Food surpluses are forcing land to be taken out of food production. In many instances, farmers are being paid to leave their land idle - the system of "set-aside" payments - but this fails to compensate fully for falling incomes. Farmers have been …
THE JYAPU farmers use their own farming techniques, fertilisers and pesticides. And, though they have no formal training in genetics or plant breeding, they maximise yields. The process begins with digging and turning the soil. The land is ploughed with a crooked hoe called a ku. If the soil is …
OCTOPUSES, sting rays and other marine creatures may soon have their first encounter with a personal computer (PC).

OIL-EATING bacteria, useful in cleaning up slicks, will soon have water wings, helping to keep them afloat in water. Using gene-splicing techniques, researchers at the University of Massachusetts, USA, have isolated 13 genes responsible for producing air-filled sacs in a floating bacterium called Halobacterium halobium. This comes in the wake …
SCIENTISTS have recently discovered it took only 5 to 10 million years to create the immense diversity of life in the earth's oceans.
