The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Indigenous Management Practices to Reduce Pests and Pathogens of Cash Crops in Agroforestry Systems. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The crop with the highest damages was cocoa (63.9% plants affected by black pod disease), followed by Fusarium stem rot was the second highest damage in crops (30.0% of vanilla plants infected). Insecticides and fungicides do not have a significant impact in reducing pest and pathogen infestation.

Assessing alternative strategies to control almond red leaf blotch through the reduction of Polystigma amygdalinum inoculum in leaf litter. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Cultural practices offer effective RLB disease management strategies. Urea application or removal of almond leaf litter reduces the primary inoculum of Polystigma amygdalinum. Abstract Background Red leaf blotch (RLB), caused by Polystigma amygdalinum, is a major foliar disease of almond trees in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions.

The C2H2‐GGAT Regulatory Module Fine‐Tunes Glutamate Homeostasis to Improve Fruit Flavour and Enhance Disease Resistance in Peach

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3282-3295, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Free amino acids (FAAs) play a fundamental role in determining fruit quality and stress adaptation, yet their genetic regulation remains poorly understood. Through an integrated approach combining metabolomic and sensory analyses of 120 peach (Prunus persica) hybrids, we identified glutamate as a key metabolite linking FAA content to umami ...

Antagonistic effect of rhizospheric bacteria against white rot (Sclerotium cepivorum) of garlic (Allium sativum L.) under in vitro and in vivo conditions

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Garlic (Allium sativum), a vegetable crop used for food, medicine, and condiments, is affected by white rot (Sclerotium cepivorum). Garlic yield reduction is influenced by several factors, with biotic stresses, particularly fungal pathogens, being among the most significant.

Diversification with minor oilseeds: Effects on system productivity and nitrogen use efficiency in semi‐arid Canadian prairies

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Diversified cropping systems in the semi‐arid Canadian prairies comprise major cereal, oilseed, and pulse crops. Further diversification with minor oilseeds, such as oriental (Brassica juncea), industrial (Brassica carinata L.), and yellow (Sinapis alba L.) mustard, camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz], and flax (Linum usitatissimum L ...

Biodegradable Coatings with Essential Oils for Combating Papaya Anthracnose: State of the Art and Perspectives

Food Bioengineering, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 138-151, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Papaya (Carica papaya L.) production and marketability are strongly constrained by postharvest diseases, with anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum spp. representing the most significant threat. Traditional control relies on synthetic fungicides, which, although effective, face challenges such as the development of pathogen resistance ...
