Soybean fields provide habitats for many species of amphibians. However, the persistence and health of amphibian populations may be at risk from the increasing use of pesticides and other agricultural chemicals. We exami...

Abstract Heritage crops are recognized for their genetic diversity and naturally elevated antioxidant profiles, including polyphenols, flavonoids, and carotenoids. However, their nutritional value is highly sensitive to ...

Climatic risk zoning allows the identification of areas of low risk of reduced crop productivity due to climatic events. In Brazil, losses to agriculture due to climate are mainly caused by drought. The objective of this...

Vegetable intercropping has advantages over single cultivation in terms of less environmental impact. However, to convince farmers to adopt this production system, it is necessary to prove greater efficiency in the produ...

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...

Crop wild relatives (CWR) are plant taxa closely related to crops and are a source of high genetic diversity that can help adapt crops to the impacts of global change, particularly to meet increasing consumer demand in t...

Fruit tree production is gaining an increasing importance in the central Amazon and elsewhere in the humid tropics, but very little is known about the nutrient dynamics in the soil-plant system. The present study quantif...

Crop improvement has focused on enhancing yield, nutrient content, harvestability,and stress resistance using a trait-centered reductionist approach. This hasdownplayed the fact that plants are developmentally integrated...

Livestock production systems of Argentina show an ongoing process of change in the composition of their forage base, with a gradual increase in the proportion of their area assigned to forage crop sequences (FCS) −in p...

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...

Crops residues are an important source of maintenance of Fusarium graminearum inoculum in the soybean agroecosystem. Given that these populations can interact in the substrate through mechanisms of mycelial recognition a...

This study aimed at assessing the effect of hydrogel on irrigation water use efficiency and yield of Capsicum annuum crops. It was used the hybrid pepper variety El Salvador as the experimental material, with row widths ...

Abstract Tropospheric ozone (O3) is widely recognized as a threat to global food security due to its detrimental effects on crop productivity. Previous studies have determined exposure-response functions, e.g., yield res...

Sustentabilidade é tema atual e cada vez mais discutido no desenvolvimento agropecuário do Brasil. Este tem experimentado um grande desenvolvimento tecnológico e produtivo no agronegócio, ampliando as exportações, ...

The presence of Fusarium species in cultivated soils is commonly associated with plant debris and plant roots. Fusarium species are also soil saprophytes. The aim of this study was to examine the occurrence and distribu...

Increasing crop diversity in agricultural landscapes can increase biodiversity but it is unclear how different diversification strategies affect crop diversity across spatial scales. Here we compared different diversific...

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...

Precision agriculture has under delivered partially because it has been based on technologies focused on increasing the resolution of spatial variation in soil and yield and more recently automation, with less effort in ...
