Comparative Effects of Organic and Mineral Calcium Sources on Yield, Nutritional Quality, and Postharvest Storage of Aubergine (Solanum melongena L.)

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
We assessed the comparative effects of applying organic and mineral calcium sources on aubergine production, quality, and storage. Analysis of yield parameters, nutritional quality of fruits at harvest and fruits physical quality during storage showed that the use of eggshell and beef bone powders as calcium sources can improve aubergine fruit ...

Botanical treatment enhances biochemical responses in enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) clones

open access: yesJSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 236-247, June 2026.
Abstract Background Bacterial wilt of enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is a severe disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, resulting in complete crop failure and considerable damage. This study assessed the biochemical responses of two enset clones (one resistant and one susceptible) when inoculated with the pathogen and ...

Exploring Agrivoltaics: A Pathway to Climate‐Resilient and Productive Land Use in Northern Bangladesh

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The growing demand for food, energy, and water in resource‐constrained regions intensifies land‐use conflicts, where solar photovoltaic (PV) expansion often competes with agriculture. Agrivoltaics, the co‐location of crop cultivation beneath PV systems, offers a potential dual‐use solution to enhance land efficiency. This study presents one of

Climate‐Driven Food Loss: The Case of Postharvest Tomato Losses in Southern Tanzania

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Increased weather challenges propelled by climate change are projected to significantly impact postharvest operations, threatening the livelihoods of most small‐scale farmers in several parts of Africa. While research on the effects of climate variability on food production exists, less attention has been given to the impacts of climate change

Detection of Different Pesticide Residues in Seasonal Leafy Vegetables of North Bengal Region, Bangladesh

open access: yesPublic Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
FTIR spectroscopy detected multiple pesticide residues—thiamethoxam, carbendazim, mancozeb + metalaxyl, and dimethoate—in commonly consumed leafy vegetables from North Bengal, Bangladesh. These findings highlight potential food safety risks and emphasize the need for regular monitoring and safer pesticide management practices.

Native Regiella Endosymbionts Provide Strong Parasitoid Protection With Limited Impacts on Fitness and Virus Transmission in Myzus persicae

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
Native Regiella insecticola in Myzus persicae provides strong protection against parasitoid wasps but imposes only modest reproductive costs and does not affect virus transmission. Despite stable vertical and horizontal transmission, these effects alone do not explain the low natural prevalence of **Regiella** in field populations.
