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...

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 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...

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...

Climate-smart agricultural (CSA) technologies are vital for enhancing the climate resilience of high-value, climate-sensitive crops like vanilla in Sub-Saharan Africa. While institutional support through agricultural ext...

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 ...

Spatio-temporal evaluation of agricultural water use under both observed and future climate conditions is essential for identifying opportunities for water conservation and supporting sustainable farming practices. Howev...

Abstract Background Passiflora germplasm, characterized by rich genetic diversity, play a pivotal role in the evolutionary history of tropical crops. With the expansion of commercial passion fruit cultivation, germplasm ...

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...

Carabids are important natural biocontrol agents for pest regulation in agricultural landscapes. Their role in the ecosystem is related to functional traits, which are themselves filtered by both the degree of habitat di...

IntroductionPennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) is an emerging intermediate oilseed crop grown in the offseason between primary summer crops to produce three cash crops in two years. Previous efforts to improve seed oil qual...

Abstract Crosscutting technologies to resolve several stress factors should be exploited to address multiple nutrient deficiencies in standing crops. Executing translational research is vital for the long-term sustenance...

The corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), was considered a secondary pest in Brazilian corn crops. However, from 2015 onwards, there was a significant increase in its population a...

OBJECTIVE: There is epidemiological evidence of an association between occupational pesticide exposure and cognitive impairment, but studies on the link with Alzheimer`s disease are scarce. We explored the association be...

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...

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...

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...
