Soilcraft 2025: Dr. Thomas Dykstra | Taste in Aphids a Chemoreceptive Protein analysis. (Part 4) 🚀

🌱 Soilcraft Conference 2025: The Science of Aphids & Plant Health w/ Dr. Thomas Dykstra 🎙️ Join us at the 6th Annual Soilcraft Conference as we uncover the latest insights into regenerative agriculture, plant health, and pest resistance. In this eye-opening session, Dr. Thomas Dykstra dives deep into the biochemical and chemoreceptive mechanisms that drive aphid behavior, plant susceptibility, and natural pest resistance. 🔬 Key Takeaways from This Session:✅ Aphids & Nitrogen – Why aphids ignore sugar and instead seek ammonia & nitrogenous compounds.✅ Low BRIX & Pest Attraction – The connection between plant health and insect infestations.✅ Calcium & Resistance – How calcium plays a crucial role in stopping aphid feeding.✅ Glyphosate & Nutrient Deficiencies – The impact of modern farming on insect susceptibility.✅ Foliars vs. Root Uptake – Why foliar feeding is a temporary fix and how to build true plant resilience.✅ Aphid Chemoreceptors & Glucosinolates – How insects detect weak plants and why secondary metabolites matter. 🌾 This is just one of many knowledge-packed sessions from Soilcraft’s annual conference! 📌 Watch, learn, and take action!
