Abstract Flower plantings in agricultural landscapes can contribute to sustainable crop production by enhancing pollination and biological control services. However, selecting plant species that promote multiple ecosystem services is challenging, since plants that favor pollinators may not equally foster natural enemies, and potential trade‐offs, such ...

Production Status, Breeding Priorities and Genetic Resources of Cowpea in Post‐Civil War Somalia
ABSTRACT Over the past three decades, Somalia has experienced recurrent civil conflic and prolonged droughts. These crises have displaced farming communities, weakened traditional seed systems and disrupted local crop diversity. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) is Somalia's most important food crop after maize and sorghum, where it provides ...

Intermittent Sequential Herbivory Affects Herbivore Growth Traits but Not Plant Fitness in Soybean
A Soybean looper caterpillar feeding on soybean (Picture credit: Rupesh Kariyat). In this study we show that sequential herbivory by Soybean looper and Fall Armyworm has strong effects on soybean physiology, but limited effects on yield. ABSTRACT Plants are often attacked by multiple herbivores.

Agro‐biofortification using micronutrient‐rich organic waste products combined with local beneficial microorganisms and mycorrhizal fungi substantially enhanced iron and zinc concentrations in cowpea. Across contrasting seasons, this integrated approach increased Fe by up to 48% in grains and 259% in haulms, and Zn by up to 28% in grains and 265% in ...
