Evaluating early‐season hail damage in corn and its interaction with Goss's wilt
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Hailstorm losses are associated with plant defoliation, stand losses, and reduced crop canopy capacity to compete with weeds. Additionally, hail wounds in plants might favor disease development, potentially further reducing corn yields. Corn yield losses due to hailstorms early in the growing season are considered minor due to an expected ...

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 12, Page 7454-7463, September 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Baled silage is expanding in Mediterranean regions due to climate change and demand for high‐quality forage; therefore, evaluating the effects of long‐term storage on microbiological and fermentative quality is essential. RESULTS In this study, 115 baled silages were sampled from different farms at 30, 60, 90, 180, and 270 days ...

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8053-8063, September 2026.Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9222-9235, 15 August 2026.ABSTRACT Coastal soil salinization from rising seawater levels has adverse impacts on soil function, seed germination, and plant growth. Root exudates play a key role in supporting microbial activity, nutrient cycling, and plant health, yet little is known about the combined effects of salinization and the addition of artificial root exudates (AREs) on

Microbiological Mechanisms of Sand‐Mixed Soil Improvement in Continuously Cropped Soil
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9390-9405, 15 August 2026.ABSTRACT Sand‐mix soil is a widely adopted method for soil improvement in agricultural production. However, beyond the evident enhancement of physical structure, the mechanisms by which sand‐mix soil promotes crop root growth by influencing soil physicochemical properties and microbial communities remain insufficiently understood.

Actinomycin Derivatives: Structural Diversification and Biological Activities
ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.Actinomycins are chromopeptide antibiotics exhibiting remarkable structural diversity and broad bioactivity. This review traces their development from naturally occurring D‐, X‐, A‐, G‐, Y‐, and Z‐type analogs to precursor‐directed, synthetic, and semisynthetic derivatives.

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 460-478, August 2026.This study evaluated biochars from co‐pyrolysis of sewage sludge and cashew residues on physical quality of a degraded loamy sand soil. SPB applied at 20 Mg ha−1 reduced bulk density by 7.74%, whereas most porosity attributes were driven by soil reconsolidation rather than biochar. Aggregate stability varied with biochar type, with SPB promoting larger

Banana xanthomonas wilt and potato bacterial wilt in Rwanda [PDF]
, 2019 Banana (Musa spp.) and potato (Solanum tuberosum) are important food and cash crops worldwide as they contribute to food security and income generation for farmers. Despite their importance, banana and potato do not reach their potential production due to a number of limitations, including pests and diseases.
