Precision agriculture for water saving: The case of processing tomato and table grape

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agriculture faces increasing pressure to produce high‐quality food while reducing water use under intensifying climate change and water scarcity. This study compared sensor‐based precision irrigation, drone monitoring, and near‐infrared spectroscopy with conventional farmer management in table grape and processing tomato production systems.

Soil‐dependent variation in strigolactone signaling distance revealed by a parasitic seed germination bioassay

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A parasitic seed germination bioassay reveals strong soil‐dependent variation in strigolactone signaling distance, controlled by physical and biological soil properties, which shapes signaling range and parasitic weed infection risk. Abstract BACKGROUND Strigolactones are root‐exuded plant metabolites acting as germination stimulants for several ...

Early grower perceptions and likely acceptance of RNAi‐based biopesticides in Australia

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Individual decisions on the adoption of RNAi‐based biopesticides reflect balance of perceived risks and benefits. Adoption can be facilitated through tailored communication strategies highlighting clear scientific evidence of product efficacy. Abstract BACKGROUND Managing pest resistance while reducing reliance on conventional chemical pesticides ...

Evaluating larvicide performance against Culicoides sonorensis in semi‐field conditions

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the efficacy of larvicide products against Culicoides sonorensis populations under controlled semi‐field conditions. Larvicide efficacy against C. sonorensis declined over time, in different environmental conditions. In particular, precipitation and habitat disturbance influenced residual performance. Abstract BACKGROUND Culicoides

Persistence of seed‐applied pesticides in soybeans: environmental influences and implications for crop protection

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Early soybean planting in cool, wet soils slows emergence and results in about half the insecticide and fungicide concentrations at vegetative emergence compared with standard planting, where faster emergence maintains roughly double the pesticide concentrations, yet pesticide persistence remains similar across both planting dates.
