Evolution wheat is the key weapon in Danish invasion

摘要

Selecting for varieties against a backdrop of low crop inputs is helping Danish breeders identify cereals with robust disease resistance and better nutrient use efficiency.Farmers in the Scandinavian country are subjected to some of the tightest regulation in the world, limiting their nitrogen use to sub-optimal levels and pesticides are taxed heavily to discourage overuse.Depleted oxygen in the inland waters on the Danish peninsula was blamed on agricultural nutrient pollution and triggered an environmental water plan in 1987, which has been reviewed and tightened numerous times.
