Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus L. var. scolymus (L.) Fiori) is a perennial crop widely cultivated in Mediterranean regions. Spinoso sardo, a Sardinian varietal type propagated agamically through quiescent buds (“ovoli”), is often characterized by heterogeneous growth, asynchronous phenological development, variable yields and sanitary ...

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT The extensive use of glyphosate for weed control in‐crop poses significant risks to non‐target crops, such as wheat, due to spray drift. Biostimulants are widely used to improve nutrient uptake, stimulate root growth, and enhance tolerance to abiotic stress. These growth effects of biostimulants may aid in alleviating glyphosate‐induced damage

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 33, 1 September 2026.Surface‐functionalized hydrophilic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs‐3MPS, where 3MPS = sodium 3‐mercapto‐1‐propanesulfonate) were synthesized and characterized. Colloidal AgNPs‐3MPS were tested on Quercus pubescens seedlings to link nanomaterial hydrophilicity and loading with plant responses. Results showed a dose‐dependent effects relevant for sustainable

Design of a Bacteriophage‐Based Product for Biocontrol of Fire Blight and Black Rot
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.Phytopathogenic bacteria threaten crops, and while chemical pesticides are effective, they harm ecosystems. Bacteriophages like ɸEF1, ɸEF2 and ɸXF1 show promise as biocontrol agents. They remain stable at 4°C and 20°C under neutral conditions, with stability enhanced by additives like CaCO3, improving field effectiveness for ecological and sustainable ...
