The integration of underutilised orphan crops into food systems can reduce the reliance on major crops for global food security and support adaptation to climate change. Major crops are increasingly susceptible to climat...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represent a key biological strategy for enhancing agricultural resilience under extreme climatic events such as drought. However, how AMF interact with drought-tolerant plant genotypes ...

The Tunas Formation crops out in the eastern sector of the Ventania System (southwestern Buenos Aires Province, Argentina) and represents the last unit of the Pillahuincó Group (Pennsylvanian–Cisuralian). This work in...

Glyphosate is the most used herbicide in Argentina, accounting for 62% of the commercialized pesticides in the market. It is used as a weed controller in no-till systems, and it is also applied in various genetically mod...

The application of organic liquid manures is deemed a viable alternative to the application of inorganic fertilisers in vegetable production. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of different types of liquid...

Abstract Background Induced mutation through physical mutagens, such as gamma irradiation is an effective and complementary breeding tool to enhance crop improvement by increasing genetic variation and creating heritable...

This article focuses on the global and Chinese issue of hidden malnutrition， analyzing its causes including nutrient loss in crops， nutritional depletion during food processing and storage， and imbalanced dietary s...

The aim of the study was to characterize halotolerant bacteria and to evaluate their plant growth promotion potential on chia and quinoa seedlings under saline stress. Isolated microorganisms were evaluated for nitrogen ...

Abstract Acquired immunity in plants, including systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and induced systemic resistance (ISR), plays a central role in protecting crops against a wide spectrum of pathogens and pests, ranging f...

Abstract This study analyzes four decades (1980–2019) of cultivar registration in Argentina and its relationship with agricultural production trends, with focus on the complementary roles of the private sector and publ...

In the context of climate change and the need to reduce pesticide and agrochemical use, the development of sustainable crops is becoming increasingly important. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as histone modifications, allow...

Kacang kedelai merupakan tanaman pangan yang dapat diolah dalam berbagai olahan, seperti tempe & tahu. Indonesia mempunyai banyak varietas kedelai, varietas lokal atau impor. Meningkatnya konsumsi kedelai tersebut sangat...

Background and Objectives: This study investigates the effects of land management practices and vegetation cover on soil erosion rates in the Mashhad Plain, Northeast Iran. Methods: By employing the Universal Soil Loss...

The challenge to increase agricultural production with a minimum environmental impact requires to reach the maximum efficiency in the capture and use of resources such as photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), water,...

Drought is a common phenomenon that affects more people within the context of Africa than any other disaster. Likewise, drought is an extreme and common occurrence within the lowland areas of Chipinge district in Zimbabw...

Water-scarce smallholder regions require irrigation strategies that are both biophysically credible and socially legitimate. We propose an integrated hydro-economic decision-support framework for the Cesar Department (Co...

Agricultural production necessitates sustainable practices to ensure long-term and sustained food security. Water is a key ingredient for food production. Ensuring sustainable water management in agriculture is thus esse...

Microplastic (MP) contamination in agricultural soils is an emerging environmental hazard with poorly understood impacts on crops. Here, we investigated concentration-dependent effects of polyethylene MPs on tomato (Sola...

Rachiplusia nu (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is an important pest of vegetable crops widely distributed in South America. At present, its control is based on the use of broad spectrum chemical insecticides. In order...

ABSTRACT Cassava bacterial blight (CBB), caused by Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis, is one of the most important diseases affecting cassava production worldwide, including regions of Brazil in the eastern Amazon. The ...

Land evaluation is an essential step in determining the potential use of marginal areas where agricultural productivity is limited by poor soil conditions. Coastal lands represent one of challenging environments, however...

ABSTRACT The effectiveness of a program of payment for environmental services (PES) in the Brazilian Amazon was analyzed through an accurate mapping of deforested areas. The Bolsa Floresta Program (BFP) in Amazonas state...

Here, we show a unique crop response to intraspecific interference, whereby neighboring sunflower plants in a row avoid each other by growing toward a more favorable light environment and collectively increase production...

Agricultural production is vital for income and food security in rural areas. However, in Manyaran District, Wonogiri Regency's rice farming livelihoods are increasingly threatened by climate change, environmental pressu...
