Unlocking Kenya’s Pyrethrum Potential: A Breeding Review for a Competitive Future

open access: yesAdvances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Pyrethrum (Tanacetum cinerariifolium) is a strategically important industrial crop underpinning the world supply of organic pesticides. Despite Kenya’s past dominance in global pyrethrum production, the genetic improvement of the crop has lagged. This has led to having varieties of low yields, variable pyrethrin content, susceptibility to biotic and ...

Ecological Diversity of Summer Maize Weed Species in the Western Mid‐Hills of Nepal

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Maize (Zea mays L.) cultivation in the mid‐hills of Nepal is vital for food security but faces significant yield losses due to weed competition. The two‐year (2023–2024) phytosociological study on summer maize was conducted to assess weed diversity and dynamics in randomly selected 40 farmers’ fields of Puranchaur, Dhikidada, Gharmi, and Lamachaur at ...

Artemisia frigida (Asterales: Asteraceae) Improves the Growth of Grasshopper Calliptamus abbreviatus and Increases the Risk of Damaging Populations

open access: yesJournal of Economic Entomology, 2020
AbstractThe grasshopper Calliptamus abbreviatus Ikonn is a significant pest species distributed across the northern Asian grasslands. Grasshopper plagues often result in significant loss to plant biomass and subsequent deterioration of grass quality that leads to economic depletion. To better understand the close relationship between C. abbreviatus and

Mixed effects of urbanization on pollination services among four native plant species

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1184-1195, December 2025.
We tested urbanization and fragmentation effects on pollination services using four native phytometer species that were deployed across 10 community gardens located in suburban and densely urbanized areas Landscape context generally did not influence pollination; however, for one of four phytometers (Lobelia siphilitica, pictured above) urban cover ...

The Leaf Length-Width Method Is Applicable to Compound Leaves of Diverse Forms

open access: yesAgriculture
To estimate leaf area, the length-width method, also called the Montgomery equation, has been widely used. It is an empirical formula stating that within a given species, the area of a leaf is proportional to the product of its length and width. Although

Diversity of Arthropods Associated withMikaniaspp. andChromolaena odorata(Asterales: Asteraceae: Eupatorieae) in Florida

open access: yesFlorida Entomologist, 2015
Summary Field surveys revealed that in south Florida the recently established Mikania micrantha Kunth (Asterales: Asteraceae: Eupatorieae) had a lower diversity of monophagous insect herbivores compared to the native Mikania spp. or Chromolaena odorata (L.) R. M. King & H. Rob. (Asterales: Asteraceae: Eupatorieae). In addition, Mikania micrantha served
