Low Participation and Risk Reduction Potential of Supplemental Crop Insurance in the United States

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Federally subsidized crop insurance is a cornerstone of U.S. farm risk management, yet policies with the greatest share of participation only trigger indemnities after losses exceed 15%. Supplemental insurance was introduced to cover part of this deductible, but participation remains largely unchanged.

Dry direct-seeded rice in north-eastern Japan: management and future prospects

open access: yesPlant Production Science
Continuing decreases in the agricultural workforce in Japan necessitate labour-saving rice production systems. One system is dry direct seeding of rice, as recently implemented in north-eastern Japan. Many studies are reported only in Japanese.

Expanded Farm Safety Net Payments Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) strengthens the agricultural risk coverage (ARC) and price loss coverage (PLC) programs by aligning program parameters more closely with recent market dynamics and allows for an expansion in program acres. This study projects the increases in ARC‐County and PLC payments for corn, soybeans, and wheat under

Heavy Metal Contamination: Impacts From Plants to the Food Chain and Eco‐Friendly Amelioration Strategies

open access: yesAgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Heavy metal pollution reduces soil health and threatens food safety by entering plants; however, the use of nanoparticles, biofertilizers, and organic fertilizers such as biochar offers a promising strategy for improvement and sustainable agriculture. ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) pollution, resulting from human activities such as mining and the excessive ...

Polymer Brushes Govern Defect‐Selective Oxidative Etching of Penta‐Twinned Gold Nanorods

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Polymer brushes act as active interfacial regulators of oxidative etching, directing it to crystallographic defects. In penta‐twinned gold nanorods, defect–ligand interplay localizes etching to defect regions and induces surface corrugations on the long nanorod sides. This work establishes a framework for programmable nanoengineering of the surfaces of
