Synergistic effects of maize defoliation and common bean relay cropping in Western Ethiopia
JSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 10, Page 430-439, October 2026.Abstract Background Maize defoliation is practiced to enhance crop management by improving light penetration, nutrient allocation, controlling weeds, and providing supplementary feeds for livestock. A rapid decline in soil fertility and low crop yields associated with maize‐based monocropping has prompted the recent introduction of maize common bean ...

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 16, Page 11777-11790, October 2026.ABSTRACT Land degradation threatens agricultural and forestry economies by lowering productivity, raising input costs, and increasing risk. This study examines whether Internet of Things applications moderate these losses in 1321 mainland Chinese counties from 2011 to 2024. Land degradation is measured separately through vegetation trends, modeled soil
