Competitive Interactions Between Generalist Predators and Their Effects on Shared and Non‐Shared Pests in a Greenhouse Crop

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Orius laevigatus engages in unidirectional intraguild predation on Transeius montdorensis. Despite this, both predators coexisted and suppressed the shared thrips prey. Aphids, a non‐shared prey, were effectively controlled by O. laevigatus even when its population was limited due to intraguild predation. T.

A Comparative Field Assessment of Nano-Irrigation and Subsurface Drip Irrigation Methods in Central Iraq

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
Abstract The experiment was conducted in winter season in the Abbasiya-Najaf Governorate, which is part of the Middle Euphrates region, during 2022-2023. Clayey-green alluvial texture soils were selected for the study and a complete randomized block design (CRBD) was used.

Embedded Pesticide Use: Exploring the Pesticide‐Land Nexus

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the turn of the century, global land grabs, farmland financialization and land‐based food sovereignty movements have returned the land question to the heart of agrarian studies. Meanwhile, abiding interest in pesticides has been reanimated in the face of changes in production, regulation and knowledge of toxicity.

Diets, fruit and vegetables consumption, and nutritional status in Benin: A scoping review

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This scoping review summarised existing literature on diets, fruit and vegetable intake, and nutritional status in Benin. Key knowledge gaps were on the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies and differences in fruit and vegetable intake by geographical and socioeconomic characteristics.

Understanding the Evidence Gaps: Diets and Fruit and Vegetable Intake Across Five Diverse Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This perspective article synthesizes findings from scoping reviews examining diet and F&V intake, and interventions to increase F&V consumption among population groups in five countries: Benin, Fiji, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Tanzania. ABSTRACT Poor dietary quality, particularly inadequate fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake, remains a significant ...

Evidence for a trade‐off between growth rate and xylem embolism resistance in 22 Eucalyptus species

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Examples of cross‐sectional images of branchlets at 4× and 40×. Summary Within the growth–survival trade‐off framework, embolism resistance is considered a contributor to survival, yet whether greater embolism resistance inherently limits growth remains unclear.

Crossability Relations of Domesticated Peas (Pisum sativum and Pisum abyssinicum) With Wild Pisum fulvum and Drought Response Assessment of P. sativum × P. fulvum Progenies

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The productivity and quality of grain crops in semiarid environments is often affected by drought, which is likely to accentuate due to predicted climate changes. Wild pea (Pisum fulvum Sibth. & Smith) accessions are known to harbour useful allelic diversity for drought responses.

Water-Saving Potential of Subsurface Drip Irrigation For Winter Wheat

, 2019
Groundwater plays a major role in agro-hydrological processes in the North China Plain (NCP). The NCP is facing a water deficit, due to a rapid decline in the water table because of the double cropping system.
