Deep bed farming with maize–soybean intercropping improves maize yield and soil fertility in northern Malawi

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract In sub‐Saharan Africa smallholder farmers face challenges of declining soil fertility, erratic rainfall, low crop yields, and food insecurity. Deep bed farming (DBF), a conservation agriculture‐based approach promoted by Tiyeni in Malawi, shows potential to address these issues.

Two New Stilbenoids from Cajanus cajan

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung B, 2012
Two new stilbenoids cajanotone and cajanamide A (1-2), together with another six known ones (3- 8) and four known dihydroflavones (9-12), have been isolated from the leaves of Cajanus cajan. Their structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic studies. A possible pathway to the new compounds 1 and 2 has been proposed.

Agricultural productivity and soil and water conservation index in dual‐purpose corn production using fuzzy modeling

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Soil structure and soil organic carbon are key variables for the sustainability of agricultural production in tropical environments, yet their interactions with crop yield remain difficult to quantify. The objective of this study was to propose and evaluate the agricultural productivity and soil and water conservation index (APSWCI) as a tool ...

Gene Editing and Transformation Strategies for Engineering Drought‐Tolerant Legumes

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Legumes play a vital role in agriculture, nutrition, and the economy, but their production faces significant threats. Among these, drought and its unpredictability will be the most damaging constraint in the coming decades. Enhancing drought tolerance is essential for resilient and sustainable legume cultivation, and genetic engineering ...
