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...

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,...

Abstract Background Accurate and timely estimation of nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) is critical for assessing crop nitrogen (N) status and implementing precision N management. While machine learning (ML) techniques comb...

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...

Abstract Agricultural management is critical in shaping soil carbon (C) stocks, pools and fluxes. The soil priming effect (PE) is known as a key component of the global C cycle that reflects alterations in soil organic c...

Abstract Background Rapid and accurate pest diagnosis is essential for reducing crop losses and improving agricultural productivity. Most existing methods rely on deep learning-based object detection to classify pests in...

More sustainable practices involving biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and the use of portable chlorophyll meter in fertilization management are promising to increase nitrogen (N) use efficiency in the common bean crop....

Brassica oilseeds are important protein crops for Nordic agriculture. Oilseed production is challenged by multiple insect pests, most importantly the pollen beetle (Brassicogethes aeneus). Concerns about pyrethroid resis...

ABSTRACT Soil, water, and nutrient loss by water erosion are among the main factors leading to land degradation, decreasing soil productivity and the provision of ecosystem services. The Cerrado-Amazon ecotone in western...

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...

ABSTRACT We surveyed parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) in two guarana plantations in the central Brazilian Amazon (one conventionally, and one organically managed), as well as in adjacent forest and edge areas between crop ...

Modern agricultural systems face increasing uncertainties, rare risks, and complex dynamics that make traditional decision-making ineffective. This research presents an innovative digital twin–based framework for proac...

To date, control strategies used against insect pest species are based on synthetic insecticide applications. In addition, the efficacy of these treatments could be decreased due to insecticide resistance in insect popul...

Puccinia sorghi Schwein., the causal agent of maize common rust, is an endemic disease in the Argentine Corn Belt region. Virulence surveys of the pathogen population within the region have not been performed; thus, the ...

Abstract Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important staple food in sub–Saharan Africa. Over 60% of the global cassava production occurs in Africa, with the southern African region contributing approximately 15% to thi...

Nanotechnology holds significant interest across various domains, including agriculture. The green synthesis of nanoparticles offers environmentally friendly solutions. This study aimed to synthesize copper nanoparticles...

Abstract Soil acidity is a critical constraint limiting crop productivity and nutrient availability in upland cropping systems. Acidic soils impede plant growth by reducing nutrient solubility and disrupting key soil pro...

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...

The objective of this study was to implement an indicator system that allows an overview of the performance at all levels of the company and to evaluate its overall performance using a consolidate general indicator. In t...

Smallholder farmers in the Northeast India are vulnerable to climate risks due to subsistence based rainfed farming, fragmented landholdings, fragile ecosystems, and limited institutional support. This study aimed to ass...

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...

Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is a vital cash crop and a cornerstone of rural economies in South Asia, yet its cultivation remains highly resource-intensive, with heavy demands for irrigation and nitrogen...
