On‐farm experimentation in East and West Africa improves nutrient management decision‐making and yield in cereal smallholder farming systems

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Past efforts have concentrated on top‐down approaches in delivering precision nutrient management (PNM) practices to smallholder farmers, but with little yield and economic impact for farmers. Farmer‐centric on‐farm experimentation (OFE) is an approach designed to effectively engage farmers in generating technologies tailored to the ...

Intermittent Sequential Herbivory Affects Herbivore Growth Traits but Not Plant Fitness in Soybean

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
A Soybean looper caterpillar feeding on soybean (Picture credit: Rupesh Kariyat). In this study we show that sequential herbivory by Soybean looper and Fall Armyworm has strong effects on soybean physiology, but limited effects on yield. ABSTRACT Plants are often attacked by multiple herbivores.

Predicting the Global Potential Suitable Distribution of Fall Armyworm and Its Host Plants Based on Machine Learning Models

Remote Sensing
The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) (J. E. Smith) is a widespread, polyphagous, and highly destructive agricultural pest. Global climate change may facilitate its spread to new suitable areas, thereby increasing threats to host plants. Consequently,

Provision of pest alerts is associated with better farm performance in Africa

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 340-347, January 2026.
Provision of pest alerts on invasive crop pest control in Africa was linked with a higher likelihood of adopting integrated pest management practices, as well as an improvement in crop yield and income. The results suggest that pest alerts are crucial in sustainable pest management strategies against invasive pests. Abstract BACKGROUND Crop pests cause
