Studying Internal Water Status in Trees

Researchers Dr. Yair Mau from the Department of Soil and Water Sciences at the Hebrew University and Dr. Gil Bohrer from Ohio State University are jointly studying the internal water status in trees in order to optimize irrigation strategies.

The understanding of dormancy and sprouting shape of seed-tubers is the key to optimizing potatoes yield and quality

Hot Potato Cold Potato

A BARD-funded American Israeli collaboration between Dr. Dani Eshel from ARO, Volcani Center in Israel and Dr. Jiming Jian from Michigan State University’s department of plant biology are studying potato physiology and genetics postharvest sweetening of potato seed tubers and effects on their yield performance

Consumer attitudes towards Local Produce

Food and AgroTech under COVID-19

We have to shorten the food supply-chain and come up with solutions that enable consumers to reach fresh produce at all times.

A BARD-funded study looked at the environmental fate of antiepileptic drugs and their metabolites.

Sampling Composted Biosolids

Many pharmaceutical compounds are active at very low doses, and a portion of them regularly enters municipal sewage systems and wastewater-treatment plants following use, where they often do not fully degrade.

B-Lever Academia-to-Industry

Breeding Taste Back into Tomatoes

The ever-growing demand of consumers for improved quality of fresh market tomatoes has led the industry to team-up with breeding research experts. BreedX is working together with American and Israeli researchers to produce better tasting tomatoes.

BARD-funded research projects offer a possibility for a non-antibiotic approach to treating Mastitis

Antibiotic Awareness

Although antimicrobials are vital to defend people, animals and plants against infections, their misuse and overuse can lead to their failure as microbes develop resistance to these life-saving treatments.
