The World Vegetable Center Amaranthus germplasm collection: Core collection development and evaluation of agronomic and nutritional traits

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 1173-1187, May/June 2022., 2022
Abstract Amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) is an underutilized crop increasing in popularity as a grain and as a leafy vegetable. It is rich in protein, minerals, and vitamins, and adapts well to a range of production systems. Currently, the lack of improved cultivars limits the use of the crop. Breeding‐improved cultivars requires access to large collections

Predicted climate conditions and cover crop composition modify weed communities in semiarid agroecosystems

open access: yesWeed Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, Page 38-48, February 2022., 2022
Abstract The US Northern Great Plains is one of the largest expanses of small grain agriculture, but excessive reliance on off‐farms inputs and predicted warmer and drier conditions hinder its agricultural sustainability. In this region, the use of cover crops represents a promising approach to increase biodiversity and reduce external inputs; however ...
