Effect of rotation of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) with fonio (Digitaria exilis) and millet (Pennisetum glaucum) on Macrophomina phaseolina densities and cowpea yield [PDF]

open access: yes
Macrophomina phaseolina, the causal agent of charcoal rot, causes great damage to cowpea in the Sahel. One of the few options to manage the disease is by cropping nonhosts that may reduce the soil inoculum below a damage threshold level.

Biochar‐Based Fertilizer Is Cost‐Effective, Reduces Nutrient Input and Improves Nutrient Use Efficiency Without Decreasing Yield

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
Co‐applying half‐rate BMC layer: (i) Reduced nutrient inputs and (ii) produced similar yield. ABSTRACT Developing high‐efficiency fertilizers with less environmental footprint is essential for sustainable cropping systems. This study evaluated a biochar mineral complex (BMC) to reduce nutrient leaching and increase nutrient use efficiency (NUE), yield,

The Dark Side of Stress Response: Night Temperature Regimes Drive Distinct Abiotic Pathways in Legumes

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 925-939, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Global warming increases night temperatures more strongly than day temperatures. Recent evidence indicates that the effect of night temperature on plant physiology is independent of daytime conditions, suggesting distinct stress tolerance mechanisms.

The Adoption and Dissemination of Soil Conservation Technologies Among Sorghum Farmers in Burkina Faso: Perspectives on Innovation, Network, and Risk Aversion

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 704-719, 30 January 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil degradation threatens agricultural productivity across Africa, necessitating effective conservation strategies. However, gaps remain in understanding the mechanisms that drive agricultural technology adoption and dissemination. This study applies the theories of innovation diffusion, social networks, and risk aversion to examine the ...
