Root rot suppression mechanisms in lentil promoted by organic intercropping

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Intercropping a grain legume with a grain nonlegume is of increased interest by producers in the Canadian Prairies, especially under organic production where intercropping is an alternative to the lack of economic returns of green manure or summer fallow.

Quantifying the Contribution of Sediment Load to Soil Detachment Rate by Sediment-Laden Rill Flow

, 2017
Sediment load changes with downslope distance during rill erosion process, and thus quantifying the potential contribution of sediment load on soil detachment rate is essential to accurately model the rill erosion process.

Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...

Grower Perceptions and Barriers to Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation Adoption in US Specialty Crops

HortTechnology
Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is a biological alternative to fumigation for managing soilborne pests in specialty crops. A 2025 survey of US specialty crop producers assessed ASD awareness and perceived barriers to implementation.

Farming System and Nematodes Affect the Rhizosphere Microbiome of Tropical Banana Plants

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.
The banana crops showed a core microbiome of 77 ASV, mostly belonging to Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacilli. Specific groups of bacteria and fungi were linked to each nematode species or feeding group, with a core microbiome of correlated taxa found only when considering nematodes by feeding groups.

Insights for Soil Improvements: Unraveling Distinct Mechanisms of Microbial Residue Carbon Accumulation under Chemical and Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation

Soil disinfestation has been widely used as an effective strategy to improve soil health and crop yield by suppression of soil-borne plant pathogens, but its effect on soil organic carbon (SOC), a crucial factor linked to climate change, remains unknown.

Fusarium guttiforme and F. mexicanum Causing Shoot Blight in Yerba Mate in Southern Brazil

Forest Pathology, Volume 55, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis [St. Hil.]) is one of the main non‐timber forest products in the southern region of Brazil, playing a role of great social, economic and environmental importance. Commercial yerba mate consists of leaves and young branches of the plant, traditionally consumed as tea and chimarrão.

Impacts of Biofumigation and Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation on Strawberry Production [PDF]

, 2016
Due to the phase-out of methyl bromide, there is a need for alternative, nonchemical fumigation treatments in strawberry production. Anaerobic soil disinfestation and biofumigation are two non-chemical methods for controlling soilborne plant pathogens of
