Exotic Genetic Lineages Rapidly Replace Established Exserohilum turcicum Populations in the Swiss Rhine Valley

- A metagenomic survey of northern corn leaf blight in Swiss maize revealed a temporal shift from a dominant European clonal lineage to genetically diverse tropical lineages between 2016–2017 and...

Decoding the Temporal Effects of Climate Change on Crop Phenology: Cumulative and Lagged Impacts in China's Major Corn Zones (1990–2020)

21/02/2026 - AbstractUnderstanding how climatic change affects crop phenology is essential for climate adaptation and food security. However, past studies have not effectively separated the influences of...

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...

Analysis of the Maize?Legume Cropping System in the Lower Indo?Gangetic Plains of Eastern India: Energy Efficiency, Carbon Footprint and Farm Profitability

- ABSTRACTThe development of cropping systems that simultaneously enhanced farm profitability, reduce energy dependence and limit greenhouse gas emissions is central to climate smart agriculture in...

Automated quantification of fine root production from minirhizotron image time series

- AbstractPlant root growth accounts for a major part of the net primary production in grassland and forest ecosystems and influences the global carbon and nutrient cycles. Measuring the production of...

Multiple ortho?mosaicking software pipelines produce comparable imagery?derived wheat phenotypes

- AbstractUnmanned aerial systems (UAS) equipped with multispectral and RGB sensors offer valuable data for monitoring crop health and assessing disease severity. However, the wide range of available...

Use of an enhanced cultivar calibration framework for DSSAT to examine effects of ecotype and time-series data
