How Do Management Choices Impact the Performance of Cassava‐Legume Intercropping in Africa? A Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Intercropping can enable sustainable intensification. In Africa, smallholder farmers rely on Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a staple food. Nevertheless, the performance of cassava intercropping emerges from management choices such as legume species selection, planting density, sowing time, and nitrogen (N) fertilisation as well as soil ...

Shrubs inhibit plant diseases by intercepting light in alpine meadows

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1644-1655, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is disproportionately impacting mountain ecosystems, leading to widespread shrub expansion into alpine meadows. Shrub encroachment alters the albedo, carbon budget and warming rate in alpine grasslands, but it remains challenging to predict how shrub ...

Distinct Defence Mechanisms of Allelopathic Rice Against Quinclorac‐Susceptible and ‐Resistant Barnyardgrass: Involvement of Specific Metabolites and Rhizosheath Microbiota

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3876-3896, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Allelopathic rice is increasingly recognised as a promising strategy for sustainable weed management. Resistance to the herbicide quinclorac is widespread in barnyardgrass, but it remains unclear whether allelopathic rice exerts the same defence against herbicide‐susceptible and ‐resistant barnyardgrass. We conducted integrated transcriptomic,

Isolation of Allelochemicals from Rhododendron capitatum and Their Allelopathy on Three Perennial Herbaceous Plants

Plants
Rhododendron capitatum community expansion is a major threat to alpine meadow. Allelopathy is an important mediator in managing relationships between plants in natural ecosystems. However, allelopathy and specific allelochemicals of R. capitatum have not

Phytohormonal and Transcriptomic Mechanisms of Multigenerational Stress Memory in Wheat Under Weed Competition

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3436-3454, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Multigenerational stress exposure induces stress memory in plants, influencing resource allocation, defence mechanisms, and productivity. Weed competition imposes both resource‐based (abiotic) and allelopathic (biotic) stress, engaging overlapping hormonal pathways.

Grazing and cover crop effects on cover crop biomass and crop productivity during transition to organic production

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract We conducted a 4‐year organic transition field study to evaluate the effects of objective‐based cover crop mixtures and grazing on cover crop and forage biomass, residue, and carryover effects on the yield of the first organic certified crop.

Allelopathy and Allelochemicals in Grasslands and Forests

, 2023
Plants can produce and release allelochemicals to interfere with the establishment and growth of conspecific and interspecific plants. Such allelopathy is an important mediator among plant species in natural and managed ecosystems. This review focuses on

Artemisia argyi allelopathy: a generalist compromises hormone balance, element absorption, and photosynthesis of receptor plants

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Allelopathy is expressed through the release of plant chemicals and is considered a natural alternative for sustainable weed management. Artemisia argyi (A.

Partitioning of Major and Trace Elements in a Stand of the Nickel Hyperaccumulator Rinorea cf. bengalensis in Borneo

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
Rinorea cf. bengalensis is a tropical nickel hyperaccumulator plant that can be dominant in forests locally. We investigated the partitioning of major and trace elements in a stand of R. cf. bengalensis in Borneo. Hyperaccumulators have a large impact on the cycling of Ni and other elements in their ecosystem. ABSTRACT Rinorea cf.

Biological activity of Gomphrena elegans Mart. Var. Elegans (Amaranthaceae)

, 2011
In this study, we evaluated the allelopathic, insecticidal and fungicidal activities of 16- extracts (different polarities) of Gomphrena elegans Mart. (Amaranthaceae). The potential allelopathic of extracts of G.
