Biochar effects on soil organic carbon sequestration and acidity amelioration persist after 10 years

- Intensive cropping and long-term ammoniacal nitrogen (N) fertilization have degraded soil health in eastern Oregon dryland wheat systems, leading to soil acidification and declining soil organic...

Optimizing phosphorus management in wheat-based intercropping systems for enhanced productivity, profitability, energy efficiency, and soil health in Indian Inceptisols

- Phosphorus deficiency in Indian Inceptisols limits crop production due to high fixation, low availability and poor fertilizer use efficiency. Even with recommended fertilizer dose, much of the...

The Recycling of Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor L.) Frass as Biofertilizer—Effects on Soil Fertility, Biomass Growth and Nitrogen Uptake of Spring Wheat

- ABSTRACTAn important by?product of insect rearing is the frass, a mixture of excrements, shed exoskeletons, and undigested feed. The recycling of frass as biofertilizer in agriculture is gaining...

Crop genotypic richness enhances biomass production and phosphorus acquisition in maize?mycorrhiza symbiosis

- Our study tests how soil and plant biodiversity can enhance sustainability of crop production in Kenya. We tested whether mixtures of maize varieties performed better than monocultures and tested...

Treated wastewater irrigation: unlocking sustainability in agriculture and food security—a comprehensive review

- Water scarcity caused by high population growth and climatic change has been a significant challenge particularly in arid regions. This current review explores the potential of treated wastewater...

The future of resilient food production—Current challenges and future opportunities

- The climate crisis is heating up, storms and droughts are hitting harder, deserts are growing, fertile land is fading, pollution is everywhere, and resources are running out—sparking mass migration...

Comparative impact of bio-organic and inorganic fertilizer application on soil health, grain quality and yield stability in nutrient deficient regions

- Soil fertility limitations in arid regions restrict wheat productivity and grain nutritional quality, with zinc (Zn) deficiency being a major concern. Sustainable soil amendments combining organic...

Why raw yield data are better than relative yield in informing agronomic and economic decisions

- AbstractWhile relative yield is widely used for its comparability, normalization can cause significant information loss. This study reframes yield metric selection as a model evaluation problem to...

Enhancing Cropping System Productivity and Soil Properties Through Cotton/Peanut Intercropping With Optimized Row Configurations

- Compared to monoculture, the cotton?peanut intercropping system outperforms in improving the SQI (soil quality index) and crop productivity through enhanced soil physical, chemical, and biological...

Comparison of Uptake of Cadmium at Low Concentrations Under Hydroponic and Soil?Based Agriculture Systems for Lettuce, Indian Spinach and Methi

- ABSTRACTUsing recycled water for agriculture offers a sustainable approach by adding inherent nutrients and moisture to the soil. However, it contains unwanted contaminants such as heavy metals like...

Efficacious Role of Biogenically Synthesized Silica Nanoparticles for Promoting Growth and Reducing Leaching in Wheat

- ABSTRACTIntroductionSilicon, as a nutrient, has been widely studied for its role as a nano?fertilizer and in other innovative agricultural applications. The increasing use of silica nanoparticles...

Co?Application of Biochar and Organic Matter With Synthetic Fertilisers Improves Nitrogen Use Efficiency, Rice Yield and Benefit–Cost Ratio: A Meta?Analysis

- Co?applying biochar and organic matter with synthetic fertilisers improves nitrogen use efficiency, nitrogen uptake, crop yield, and economic return.ABSTRACTOptimising the efficiency of applied...

Which indicators are most effective at detecting rapid shifts in soil health?

- AbstractFarmers are showing a growing interest in soil health. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how and when indicators respond to changes in land management. Measurements of soil carbon (C)...

Exogenous Dopamine Promotes Tolerance in Rice Under Iron Excess by Improving Root Anatomy, Ionic Balance, Photosynthetic Performance, and Biomass

- Exogenous dopamine is a molecule capable of minimizing the effects caused by Fe excess in rice plants, protecting the root anatomy and photosynthetic apparatus, promoting antioxidant defense, and...

Wheat Yield Response to Organic Fertilisers Depends on Drought Timing in a Sandy Soil

- ?ABSTRACTOrganic fertilisers enhance crop drought resilience by improving nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) use efficiency and soil?plant water relations. However, the underlying mechanisms governing...

Agro ecological variability, technology adoption, and livelihoods in the Sundarbans delta: evidence from a baseline study

- This research investigates the socio-economic profile, land resources, cropping patterns, livelihood strategies, and technology adoption of farming households in two contrasting agro-ecological...

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

- Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as...

Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

- Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant...

Quantifying the environmental and economic impact of municipal biosolids use in dryland wheat in Washington state
