Review on the possible interactions of pests, diseases & weeds in cereals grown in organic and conventional agriculture [PDF]

, 2001
Background The demand for organically produced food is outstripping the ability of UK farmers to supply it and the majority is imported. Furthermore, there is a major shortfall in home-produced organic cereals and cereal products, including straw.

Mulching Increases Water Use Efficiency, Production and Profitability in Forage Cactus–Maize Intercropping Systems

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the growth, forage production, soil water balance, water indices, biological efficiency and competitive capacity of forage cactus and maize in monoculture and intercropping, with or without mulch. The experiment was conducted in Serra Talhada, Pernambuco, Brazil, using the cactus clone ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ (OEM ...

Does the Application Flow Rate of Nutrient Solutions Prepared in Brackish Water Affect Coriander Production?

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flow rates for applying nutrient solutions in hydroponic systems are empirically known, yet uncertainties remain regarding whether brackish water affects the optimal flow rate and, consequently, biomass production and allocation. This study evaluated whether variations in application flow rate affect coriander biomass when brackish water is ...

Human Health Risk Assessment From Exposure to Toxic Metals in Soils and Leafy Vegetables in Smallholder Farms of Northeastern Brazil

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assessed human health risks associated with exposure to potentially toxic metals (PTMs) in soils and leafy vegetables cultivated in smallholder agricultural systems in Northeastern Brazil. Soil and vegetable samples were collected from 18 agricultural areas and analyzed for cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), nickel

Sewage Sludge and Cashew Bagasse Biochars Promote Changes in Selected Physical Attributes Related to the Structure of Degraded Dryland Soil

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluated biochars from co‐pyrolysis of sewage sludge and cashew residues on physical quality of a degraded loamy sand soil. SPB applied at 20 Mg ha−1 reduced bulk density by 7.74%, whereas most porosity attributes were driven by soil reconsolidation rather than biochar. Aggregate stability varied with biochar type, with SPB promoting larger

In vitro Digestibility of Whole Forage Re-Shoots from Two New Sugar Cane Cultivars (Saccharum spp. C97-366 and C99-374).

Revista de Producción Animal, 2016
In vitro digestibility of two new sugar cane cultivars for animal forage was determined. Three runs were made using gas from cattle feces as inoculum. The plant's integral fraction was studied at 6, 8, and 11 months of re-shoot.

Yield‐Dependent Allocation Functions Overestimate Root‐Derived Carbon Inputs in Wheat and Maize

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Root‐derived carbon (C) inputs for wheat and maize were estimated using the yield‐based allocation functions of Bolinder et al. and Jacobs et al. Comparison with measured root C showed systematic overestimation that becomes larger as predicted C increases.

Integrated characterization of Greek fennel genotypes through morpho‐agronomical characteristics, yield components and phytochemical compounds

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 91-103, March 2025.
Abstract Background Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is a widely cultivated vegetable and aromatic‐medicinal plant. In this research, field studies assessed 12 fennel genotypes of diverse origin, comprising 10 Greek accessions and two European commercial varieties, focusing on their morpho‐agronomical traits, phenolic compounds and antioxidant ...

Consumers' sensory assessments of bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) syrup give way to a promising artisan industry

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 113-124, March 2025.
Abstract Background Most pure maple syrup produced in North America is produced from the sap of sugar maple trees (Acer saccharum). Interest is growing to utilize other maple species in different regions of North America outside the native range of sugar maple.

Glycan Profile and Sequence Variants of Certified Ricin Reference Material and Other Ricin Samples Yield Unique Molecular Signature Features

Toxins
A certified reference material of ricin (CRM-LS-1) was produced by the EuroBioTox consortium to standardise the analysis of this biotoxin. This study established the N-glycan structures and proportions including their loci and occupancy of ricin CRM-LS-1.
