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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

No Nordeste Paraense alguns agricultores familiares têm implantado pequenas áreas de pastagens e manejado pequenos rebanhos com o objetivo de aplicar eventuais ganhos obtidos com os cultivos, criando uma poupança a se...

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 Shade-tolerant forest species are among the most susceptible to habitat loss in agricultural mosaics, where a variety of croplands is connected to forests at different levels of anthropogenic disturbance. We aim...

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...

The agricultural sector of Colombia supports the national economy and food security due to the rich lands for cultivation. Although Colombia has a vast hydrological basin, climate change can impact agricultural productiv...

Abstract Background Agroforestry, the intentional integration of trees or other woody perennials with crops or livestock in production systems, is being widely promoted as a conservation and development tool to help meet...

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...

"Iron is an essential micronutrient for higher plants. Although abundant in most soils, Fe3+ is not available for plant uptake, because of its poor solubility. Ferrous sulfate is a fertilizer used for crops but, Fe2+ is...

Despite the effect of water content on radar backscattering is well known, isolating the contributions from soil, vegetation, and vegetation superficial water content (wetness) is still challenging. This work aim to char...

Cucurbitaceae family comprises of prominent vegetables like cucumber, squash, melon, watermelon, and pumpkin which are valuable from medicinal and nutritional aspects. The excessive use of chemical inputs caused serious ...
