Leaf economics and tissue turnover dynamics in four perennial C4 grasses
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract Warm‐season perennial grasses are important components of pasture systems in the United States, yet their functional characteristics and relationships with productive attributes remain poorly understood. This study evaluated tissue flow dynamics and leaf economic traits in four C4 forage grasses: eastern gamagrass (Tripsacum dactyloides (L.) L.

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract The two‐spotted spider mite (TSSM; Tetranychus urticae Koch) is a major pest of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), causing substantial yield and quality losses in Ethiopia and worldwide. The present study evaluated the impact of tomato branch pruning and trellising on TSSM populations and yield in the Central Rift Valley tomato production area ...

, 2015 Since the 1980s defoliation (often assessed by means of crown transparency) is the most used indicator of tree condition adopted in Europe. It has been criticized for its subjectivity and scarce relation with meaningful endpoints. Here we collated the results of three different studies carried out in France and Italy to investigate the relationship ...

Enhancing spring green‐up of warm‐season turfgrasses through late‐winter scalping
Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract Rapid spring green‐up of warm‐season turfgrasses in the transition zone is often desired to improve early‐season turfgrass quality, thereby increasing the acceptance of these species in arid and semi‐arid climates. This study evaluated the effects of late winter scalping on spring green‐up speed in 41 cultivars of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp ...

Screening bermudagrass genotypes for improved forage production
Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract Cynodon is a diverse genus of great economic importance to the southeastern United States. However, the bermudagrass stem maggot (BSM; Atherigona reversura Villeneuve) is threatening bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) throughout the region. Long‐term solutions require the development and release of BSM‐tolerant bermudagrass genotypes.

Sustained Livestock Grazing Enhances Soil Organic Carbon Storage in Sub‐Arctic Grassland
Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.We studied long‐term effects of grazing cessation on 34 grassland and heathland sites in Iceland. Grazing cessation was associated with lower SOC, nitrogen and root carbon in the top 10 cm of soil providing evidence for enhanced SOC in grazed land, showing that grazing is a climate change mitigation strategy.

Multiple ortho‐mosaicking software pipelines produce comparable imagery‐derived wheat phenotypes
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) equipped with multispectral and RGB sensors offer valuable data for monitoring crop health and assessing disease severity. However, the wide range of available photogrammetric software complicates software selection for high‐throughput plant phenotyping.

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] varieties are categorized into different relative maturity groups (MGs) that correspond to the approximate region that the variety is best adapted. Maturity is an important trait that growers consider when deciding which varieties to plant and for breeders as a covariate to compare genotypes.
