Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop production requires considerable chemical inputs that result in significant greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental costs. Biostimulants are natural agents, such as microorganisms or seaweed, applied to plants and soil to stimulate plant growth and reduce chemical inputs. Biostimulant use is rapidly increasing globally, but hurdles remain,

More sustainability in Europe's vineyards – Using resistant grapevine varieties to reduce the input of pesticides

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Widespread adoption of disease‐resistant grapevine varieties presents a significant opportunity to revolutionize viticulture and address pressing environmental concerns. By reducing reliance on chemical pesticides, these varieties align with the European Commission's Green Deal objectives, striving for sustainable agricultural

Harnessing entomopathogenic fungi: A meta‐analysis on their role as plant growth promoters

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Our meta‐analysis highlights the potential of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) as sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides and fertilisers. By promoting plant growth and reducing reliance on agrochemicals, EPF can support healthier crops, minimise environmental contamination and improve profitability within food production systems.

The serine palmitoyl transferase of plant pathogenic fungi: a promising new target for the development of novel crop protection solutions†

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
High biological activity of pyridazine carboxamides against a wide range of Ascomycetes led to identification of a new biochemical target for agrochemical fungicides – serine palmitoyl transferase. Abstract BACKGROUND Plant pathogens pose a significant threat to global agriculture and, thus to world food supplies, requiring the development of ...

Weed biodiversity and herbicide intensity as linked via a decision support system

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A high Shannon diversity of weed species leads to low herbicide intensity. The decision support system reduces herbicide intensity at low weed densities and thus supports biodiversity. Abstract BACKGROUND Extensive herbicide use is one reason for the declining biodiversity of arable weeds. This study aimed to investigate (i) whether herbicide decisions
