Tillage intensity and cover crop affect yield, energy efficiency, and sustainability of rainfed finger millet and pigeon pea cropping system in semiarid tropics

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Little is known about the sustainability of an intercropping system comprising finger millet (Eleusine coracana) and pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan). We therefore sowed both cover crops and the above crops over 3 years in a seed mix of 8:2 by weight to assess their effects on soil properties, yield potential, and energy‐use efficiency.

Complex Mechanical Loading and Pro‐Inflammatory Cytokines in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
This study investigated the combined effects of dynamic compression and torsion with major pro‐catabolic cytokine interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β) and its inhibitor: interleukin‐1 receptor antagonist (IL‐1Ra), on bovine IVD in an ex vivo organ culture system and further evaluated the mechanical effects using a subject‐personalized finite element model based ...

Gene Editing and Transformation Strategies for Engineering Drought‐Tolerant Legumes

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Legumes play a vital role in agriculture, nutrition, and the economy, but their production faces significant threats. Among these, drought and its unpredictability will be the most damaging constraint in the coming decades. Enhancing drought tolerance is essential for resilient and sustainable legume cultivation, and genetic engineering ...

Assessing the Impact of Agrivoltaic Systems on Pasture Plant and Soil Microarthropod Communities

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Agrivoltaic systems (AVS) integrate renewable energy production with agricultural use, creating novel microclimatic gradients that can affect ecosystem structure and function. However, the ecological consequences of these gradients on vegetation composition and soil biological quality remain poorly understood, particularly in pasture‐based AVS
