Effects of deficit irrigation and biostimulants on melon productivity and quality in semi‐arid conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 11, Page 6348-6364, 30 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Water scarcity and soil salinization are major constraints to irrigated agriculture in semi‐arid regions, affecting crop productivity and fruit quality. Combining deficit irrigation with biostimulant application has emerged as a promising strategy to improve water use efficiency and plant stress tolerance.

Chitosan‐induced modulation of secondary metabolism and stress tolerance in Salvia rosmarinus under combined drought and heat stress

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5989-6001, 15 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Abiotic stresses, particularly drought and elevated temperatures, negatively affect plant physiological and metabolic processes. This study investigated the effects of drought, heat, and combined stress on Salvia rosmarinus (rosemary), and evaluated foliar‐applied chitosan as a biostimulant.

Valorization of Ficus carica Pruning Residues as Selective Botanical Insecticides: Optimized Furanocoumarin Extraction, Efficacy Against Neotropical Stink Bugs, and Mechanistic Insights via Molecular Docking

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 4, August 2026.
Optimized extracts from Ficus carica pruning waste exhibit strong biological activity against major stink bug pests. Complementary in silico analyses suggest this efficacy relies on pest‐specific acetylcholinesterase inhibition, predicting a promising, pollinator‐safe alternative for sustainable agriculture.

Characterization of rust, early and late leaf spot resistance in wild and cultivated peanut germplasm Caracterização da resistência à ferrugem, mancha preta e mancha castanha em germoplasma silvestre e cultivado de amendoim

Scientia Agricola, 2009
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) has an AB genome and is one of the most important oil crops in the world. The main constraints of crop management in Brazil are fungal diseases. Several species of the genus Arachis are resistant to pests and diseases.

New canopy legume species highlight liana gap sampling across Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Lianas are a key component of the Neotropical flora, accounting for 10% of angiosperm richness and playing important ecological roles. However, the canopy preference of some species often leads to their underrepresentation in herbarium collections, thereby exacerbating Linnaean, Darwinian, and Wallacean shortfalls. The papilionoid legume genus

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 1121-1144, August 2026.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

A new pest recorded in Italy: The South African citrus thrips, Scirtothrips aurantii (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 56, Issue 2, Page 309-316, August 2026.
Abstract The South African citrus thrips, Scirtothrips aurantii Faure, 1929, has been recorded in Italy for the first time. This species was recently reported in Spain and Portugal. Its presence has been confirmed in the major citrus‐growing area of Catania province (Sicily), infesting citrus trees. S. aurantii is currently included in the EPPO A1 List
