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...

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 ...

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...

Waterlogging is a severe stress that constrains crop production. We studied ecophysiological traits related to waterlogging tolerance in wheat, barley oilseed rape and field pea. Outdoor experiments using canopies of whe...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Here, we show a unique crop response to intraspecific interference, whereby neighboring sunflower plants in a row avoid each other by growing toward a more favorable light environment and collectively increase production...

Abstract The premix formulation of fluopyram and trifloxystrobin is a broad-spectrum fungicidal combination that is widely used to manage foliar diseases in vegetable crops. However, concerns regarding its persistence an...

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...

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...

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 ...

Propiedades superficiales de los suelos como textura y materia orgánica, juegan un rol muy importante en procesos vinculados a la dinámica hídrica y a la degradación de las tierras. Los sistemas conservacionistas de ...

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...

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...

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 ...

Abstract This study investigated the impact of spatial variability in soil Cation Exchange Capacity and key macronutrients on soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) population establishment and yield across two distinct field...

Abstract Rice-based cropping systems remain dominant in Bangladesh’s agricultural landscape, yet their long-term sustainability and profitability are increasingly constrained by high input requirements, ecological pres...

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 ...
