Tar spot was a little late arriving in Ontario cornfields in 2023, but the leaf disease ramped up post tasseling, and with an extended fall, took a late-season bite out of grain yields in southwestern areas of the province. Growers who sprayed fungicides to defend their crop against disease were rewarded with higher yields, reports.

I like sweet foods as much as anyone (maybe more), but I do try to keep sugar intake within reasonable limits. For one thing, sugars have no nutritional value beyond calories (which hardly anyone needs more of). For another, it encourages overeating whatever foods in comes with, many of them ultra-processed. Thus, I cannot understand why my nutrition colleagues would do anything to imply that eating more sugar is OK.

Humans are attracted to symmetry: in our buildings, our gardens, in our potential partners. For plants, the symmetrical shapes of organs are a matter of survival because the form directly impacts the function. If we can unravel the mechanisms underlying the shapes of leaves, petals, or the complex reproductive parts of plants, then it may be possible to fine tune this physiology to make our crops.

Tim Kohlhauff remembers the days when his hometown of Spokane, Washington was in zone 5b on the Plant Hardiness Zone Map. When he was growing up, daisies, rhododendrons, and azaleas were always teetering on the edge of viability, the winter conditions often just a bit too chilly for their liking. But all that has changed in recent decades, says Kohlhauff, a Master Gardener and a Horticulture Coordinator at Washington State University.
