Plant breeders and genetic engineers keep working to give crops the strength to resist threats like insects, diseases, droughts or floods. But before you can resist a threat, you need to understand it.

We told you last week about a newly completed genetic map of the organism that causes late blight. That disease led to starvation in Ireland from potato shortages in the middle of the eighteen hundreds.

The Pi Wall: Each plant has its own purpose-built, patented 3.5 litre container, which is equipped with drainage holes and a basket to prevent blockages caused by the growing medium. The generous volume of these patented growing containers allows the plants to develop a strong root system. This improves the plants’ ability to absorb nutrients. This method results in larger and more robust plants than systems that use under-dimensioned containers. The built-in irrigation system waters each plant individually. There is no need to punch holes in hoses, feed hoses through convoluted spaces and fit a myriad of 90-degree elbows. No sprinkler pipes are required either, making it much easier to check the condition of the plants.
