Quantifying the Impacts of Excess Water on Agricultural Losses and the Role of Adaptive Infrastructure
20/10/2026 - AbstractExcess water during the planting season is a growing source of production and income risk for agriculture. Yet its impacts remain poorly quantified. Existing studies typically rely on...
Explaining Climatic Drivers of Yield Anomalies in Global Crop Models Through Metamodel?Based Attribution
19/10/2026 - AbstractGlobal gridded crop models (GGCMs) are important tools for assessing climate impacts on agriculture, yet significant divergence in their projections limits interpretability, and impact...
A centralised platform to boost access to Earth observation data
- The global space data industry is booming, but accessing and combining datasets remains complex. The EU-funded LEONSEGS project built a service that searches and synthesises multiple sources,...
Water quality for agricultural reuse: integrating risk assessment, governance, and sustainable implementation for resilient food systems
- Global freshwater scarcity, climate change, and rising food demand have intensified the need for sustainable agricultural water management. Wastewater reuse has emerged as a strategic solution,...
Green Manure Effects on Soil Microbiota Depend on Seasonal Cropping Cycle, Manure Species, and Kohlrabi Cultivar
- ABSTRACTIntroductionGreen manure application is widely used to improve soil fertility, but its effects on soil microbial communities are context?dependent. This study examined how green manure...
Legume Residue Configuration Modulates Topsoil Moisture and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Under Contrasting Wetting Regimes in a No?Till Fallow
- ABSTRACTCrop residues provide agronomic and environmental benefits under no?till systems, but decomposition can increase greenhouse gas emissions, particularly from legume residues. Rainfall events...
Comparative performance of Sarcocornia fruticosa ecotypes in two systems: Traditional hydroponic versus integrated multi?trophic aquaculture
- AbstractHalophytes like Sarcocornia fruticosa offer a sustainable solution for managing nutrient?rich aquaculture effluents. This study compared the performance of three S. fruticosa ecotypes (BGU,...
Advances and Challenges in Research on Spot Blotch of Wheat—A Major Threat in South Asia
- Spot blotch, caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana, is an emerging disease of wheat in South Asia, occurring in an area of 25?mha globallyThis review highlights the advances in research, along with...
A data?driven image extraction and analysis pipeline for plant phenotyping in controlled environments
- AbstractAdvances in automation, imaging, and artificial intelligence have enabled large?scale plant phenotyping, but image analysis remains a critical bottleneck for crop improvement and biological...
Carbon sequestration strategies for climate resilience: Sorghum?based innovations for sustainable agriculture in dryland regions
- Climate change is intensifying heat, drought, and food insecurity, threatening dryland farming and carbon management worldwide. We reviewed research on sorghum, a drought?adapted C4 crop, covering...
The Future of Crop Protection: Is Europe Falling Behind?
- Olivier de Matos, Director General CropLife Europe (CLE), which is a group in the EU who lobby on behalf of chemical companies, joins this week’s Tillage Edge to discuss the latest EU legislation...
Soil carbon dynamics in temperate urban and peri?urban agriculture
- AbstractUrban and peri?urban agriculture (UPA) is an increasingly popular approach to support regional food systems. UPA can reduce greenhouse gas emissions via reduced food miles and through soil...
Effects of threonine on broilers: an in-depth review on growth, gut health, and immune function
- This review examines the pivotal role of threonine (Thr), the third limiting essential amino acid, in optimizing broiler nutrition, particularly with corn–soybean meal-based diets, based on recent...

Canopy Management Across Asian Cotton Production Systems: A Cross?Regional Synthesis of Physiological Responses, Agronomic Practices, and Mechanization Readiness
- Graphical abstract illustrating cross?regional differences, canopy management interventions, physiological responses, and mechanization readiness across Asian cotton production systems.ABSTRACTCotton...
Crop diversification as a climate-smart agriculture strategy and household welfare in Nigeria: evidence from living standard measurement survey
- Crop diversification is a climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practice with well-documented yield and agroecological benefits, but rigorous, nationally representative evidence on its welfare impacts in...
Extreme temperature, digital rural development, and grain production resilience in the Yellow River Basin
- IntroductionSevere temperature extremes are an increasingly dangerous threat to the resilience of grain production and sustainable food systems, particularly in climate-sensitive river basins and...
