Pixel‐level supervision resolves overlap: Benchmarking YOLOv12 segmentation for accurate multi‐cluster dry bean stand counting from time series unoccupied aerial systems imagery

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract An agronomic trait such as stand count is important for cultivar development and crop management practices. Manually counting the number of plants is time consuming, labor‐intensive, and prone to error. The use of unoccupied aerial systems (UAS)‐collected red, green, blue (RGB) imagery in conjunction with advanced deep learning and image ...

Comparing the Soil Management Assessment Framework to the Haney Soil Health Test Across Managed Agroecosystems

Agronomy
Soil health assessments within managed agroecosystems help to further understand conservation practice efficacy when management practices are altered. In this study, soil health was quantified via the Soil Management Assessment Framework (SMAF) and the ...

Tillage does not impact soil greenhouse gas emissions in a Central Texas rainfed maize–cotton system

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Agricultural soils are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily as N2O. Monitoring how management practices impact soil gas fluxes (CO2, CH4, and N2O) is useful for making sure conservation practices (e.g., no‐till) are sustainable with regards to all potential environmental impacts.

Bio-economic evaluation of pasture-cropping, a novel system of integrating perennial pastures and crops on crop-livestock farms

Pasture-cropping is a novel approach to increase the area of perennial crops in mixed sheep and cropping systems. It involves planting annual cereals directly into a living perennial pasture.

Evaluation of two cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (l.) walp.) genotypes under rainfed farming with low rainfall

Revista Brasileira de Meio Ambiente, 2019
The sustainable agriculture in drylands depends on stored soil water, efficient use of water, prevention of soil degradation, and the use of crops that have drought tolerance.

A review of high nature value farming systems in Europe: Biodiversity, ecosystem services, drivers, innovations and future prospects

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2049-2064, July 2026.
Abstract Farming systems of high natural and cultural value represent approximately 30% of farmlands in the European Union and are associated with a high species and habitat diversity and/or the presence of species of European conservation concern. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem ...

An economic analysis of farm forestry as a means of controlling dryland salinity

Large areas of agricultural land under conventional crops and pastures are at risk of dryland salinisation in Australia. The salinisation problem can be controlled by strategic and large‐scale planting of trees; however, farm forestry enterprises ...

Integrating conservation practices and microbial inoculation in wheat–mungbean sequential cropping systems under dryland conditions

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Intensive agriculture in arid regions requires climate-smart innovative strategies and nature-based interventions to enhance agroecosystem sustainability. In this study, an integrated model combining conservation agriculture (CA) and microbial treatments

A meta‐analysis of soil carbon fraction response to organic amendments in annual croplands

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Organic amendments are key sources of nutrients in croplands and play an important role in maintaining soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. Stabilization of SOC is mediated by environmental and management factors and may differ between mineral‐associated organic carbon (MAOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC).

Seasonal labour is the most profitable use of labour in broadacre crop dominant farms

Labour scarcity and affordability have encouraged many farmers in Western Australia to focus more on cropping than sheep production. Many farmers are opting to run low input livestock systems.
