Most seedless grapes in NH travel thousands of miles to get to your grocery store, but UNH is working to change that. UNH researchers spent years testing seedless table grape varieties to see which could thrive in our climate. the results are promising. https://t.co/GHXunRx4MH

Ever heard of a plant that can help with toothaches? 🦷🌼 Meet the toothache plant—also known as buzz buttons or Szechuan buttons (Acmella oleracea). Used in medicine for thousands of years, it contains an enzyme that causes a tingling, numbing sensation when consumed.

Check out the oak trees grafting project in collaboration with @nhdfl! We are using grafting to support the development of a seed forest of eastern white oak. The process involves attaching grafts from mature eastern white oak onto young swamp white oak rootstocks.

As New England’s coastal waters warm, more and more species are under stress, including lobster. UNH researchers are looking to a lesser-known (but still delicious) alternative: the channeled whelk. Read more about these nocturnal, carnivorous snails: https://t.co/05BUQzSqOh

Managing colostrum quality in cows can be a challenge in New England. UNH Researchers have developed data-driven models to pinpoint three key factors that affect colostrum yield and quality: timing, environment and nutrition. ➡️ https://t.co/TbDzWiIqDa @AgIsAmerica @USDA

Arthropods help keep farms healthy by controlling pests and managing weed seeds. Research shows that high-intensity tillage—where soil is completely turned over to prepare for planting—negatively affects these beneficial insect communities even more than pesticide-treated seeds.
