Dogs are used to sniff out narcotics, explosives, and even disease, but what about agricultural pests?
Texas Tech professor Nathan Hall is using a $475,000 dollar grant from USDA to investigate a dog’s ability to identify and detect pests and disease through their nose.
Hall says that he will also evaluate the capacity of already scent trained dogs across the U.S. as a way to support farmers with an early detection tool for ag diseases.
