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 ...

Climate change poses significant challenges to agriculture globally, impacting crop yields and food security. Nigeria is highly climate-vulnerable, with over 70% of livelihoods rain-fed, increasing exposure to floods, dr...

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...

A field trail was conducted during the 2023–2024 season at two environmentally different locations, Telkaif 20 km north of Mosul and Jleokhan19 km southeast of Mosul, in Nineveh Governorate. The study involved three tr...

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...

The yield of maize (Zea mays L.) crops depends on their ability to intercept sunlight throughout the growing cycle, transform this energy into biomass and allocate it to the kernels. Abiotic stresses affect these eco-phy...

The study was conducted to determine the kinetic parameters of in situ DM and NDF and the passage of particles of forages produced from the intercropping of brachiaria grass with corn and soybean crops. Three experiments...

The genus Copitarsia Hampson (Lepidoptera. Noctuidae) includes agricultural pests of at least 48 crop plants and they are distributed from Mexico to southern South America. In South America, from Venezuela to Chile and A...

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...

In this study, the content of Pb, the physico-chemical and biological parameters in soils, and the metal transfer to vegetative and reproductive Sorghum bicolor plants were evaluated along with their relationship with th...

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 ...

Abstract Agricultural soils serve as an important frontier in the global efforts to sequester carbon (C), providing scalable opportunities to address climate change through improved land management. However, the C seques...

Agriculture in Iran operates under acute water scarcity, climate stress, and reliance on input-intensive practices that amplify environmental pressures. This study presents the first long-term, spatially explicit life cy...

This study aimed to determine the negative impact of volunteer soybean plants on bean crop yield and the tolerance of bean genotypes to the herbicides ethoxysulfuron and halosulfuron. To determine the impact of volunteer...

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...

Modern animal and crop production practices are associated with the regular use of antimicrobials, potentially increasing selection pressure on bacteria to become resistant. Alternative approaches are needed in order to ...

It has been reported for many soils that maize (Zea mays L.) has a higher soil-P critical level than soybean (Glycine max L.) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L). The objective of this work was to compare the rhizosphere...

IntroductionThe study was conducted to respond to the growing need for standardized and comparable tools for assessing the sustainability of farms in the European Union, given that the green transition, the reform of the...

Thiamethoxam (TMX) is a systemic pesticide that safeguards both perennial and annual crops from pests but presents environmental risks. Effective pesticide regulation requires a thorough understanding of farmers’ behav...

ABSTRACT Onion is predominantly grown under conventional management. Alternatively, the no-tillage vegetable system uses cover crops to form a residue layer, which improves soil physical, chemical, and biological quality...

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...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are a key soil functional group, with an important potential to increase crop productivity and sustainable agriculture including food security. However, there is clear evidence that lan...

How do alternative development programs, designed to diminish the presence of illicit crops, might cause unexpected consequences? This article studies how the announcement about an alternative development program, follow...

Seed-yield stability, frequently associated with drought-tolerance strategies, is one of the main breeding objectives for the development of crops for semi-arid mediterranean-type environments. Since breeding of new indu...
