Agricultural intensification has reduced biodiversity and leads to fundamental trade-offs between food production and conservation. Conventional approaches to food production are thus no longer suitable. In the present w...

Weed species present high competitive capacity, rapid adaptability and herbicide resistance, hindering their effective control across worldwide cropping regions. Since field-conducted experiments are very time-consuming ...

Abstract Many pests and diseases affect agricultural and commercial crops, resulting in potential yield losses. It has been shown that microbial biocontrol agents, such as Bacillus species, are efficient alternatives to ...

Precision agriculture plays a crucial role in sustainable food production and resource-efficient land management. A key component of precision agriculture is the semantic segmentation of crops and weeds that enables auto...

Plant communities fragmented by agricultural activities were analyzed in a 250-ha area in eastern plains of Montecaseros, Gral. San Martín Department, Mendoza, Argentina. A phytosociological method assessed different si...

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...

Ecological security (ES) is a crucial indicator of regional ecosystem health and integrity, serving as a fundamental basis for formulating sustainable ecological management strategies, particularly in ecologically fragil...

Biotic and abiotic stresses reduce crop yields, yet existing image‑based diagnostic models are often crop‑specific, computationally intensive, and poorly interpretable. This study present: (i) a multi-crop diagnostic...

Despite the importance of mycorrhizal symbiosis, we understand little how different soil managements affect arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities. Crop rotation is recommended in sustainable agriculture because ...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple crop feeding over half of the global population, especially in Asia where it contributes 90% of global production. Weed infestation remains a critical constraint in rice ecosystems, sig...

This research develops a water-centric nexus assessment framework for Thailand's major crops: rice, sugarcane, and cassava, within shared cultivation areas. The framework examines interaction among water use, agricultura...

In this research, we address a critical problem for strawberry growers in Lima: the management of phytosanitary diseases. Traditionally, these farmers relied on time-consuming, imprecise, and error-prone visual observati...

Abstract Agroecological transitions face a dual imperative: reducing pesticide reliance and minimising soil disturbance for climate mitigation. However, the blanket promotion of no-till practices may hinder ecological in...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the sustainability and agro-economic viability from two croppings of coriander (C) and two of arugula (A) intercropped with beet (B) as a function of roostertree amounts added ...

The limited availability of herbicides for weed management, coupled with the rapid expansion of herbicide-resistant weed populations, has intensified the need to explore alternative weed management strategies, particular...

ABSTRACT Adopting conservationist soil use and management practices, such as the no-tillage system and cover crops associated with organic agriculture, can improve the quality of fragile soils. This study aimed to evalua...

Abstract Potato crops in Bangladesh are significantly threatened by viral diseases, underscoring the need for comprehensive virome profiling to inform sustainable management strategies. In this study, we employed high-th...

IntroductionEffective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) is a key indicator of soil fertility and sustainable soil management assessment in coffee-growing systems.MethodsThis study aimed to identify the principal edaphic an...

In the Pampas region of Argentina agriculture is dominated by intensive no-till (NT) soybean cropping which produce negative consequences on soil quality. A group of farmers started to use the Good Agricultural Practices...

Abstract Climate change is driving increased incidence and severity of Phytophthora diseases in Tanzanian vegetable production systems, threatening food security and smallholder livelihoods. Field assessments were conduc...

Late leaf spot (LLS), caused by Nothopassalora personata, is the most devastating peanut disease in the world. In Argentina, peanut smut (Thecaphora frezii) has increased significantly in recent decades. LLS is mainly ma...

Abstract Grapes (Vitis vinifera) are a globally important high-value crop produced for fresh consumption, wine, and processed derivatives. Growing pressure from labor shortages, climate variability, and sustainability de...

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...

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...
