Effects of the Plastic Mulching System and Fertilizer Application on the Yield of Tartary Buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) and Water Consumption Characteristics in a Semi-Arid Area

Agronomy
Although plastic film mulching is commonly utilized to enhance crop water use efficiency (WUE) in semi-arid areas, the combined effect of plastic film mulching and fertilizer application on Tartary buckwheat yield is still unknown. To address this gap, a

The Invisible White Micropollutants of Green Agriculture: 10 Essential Scientific Questions for the Future of Agricultural Microplastic Research

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
Intensive field application of agricultural plastic mulch films leads to widespread soil accumulation of weathered microplastics and nanoplastics. Although these particles alter soil functions and modulate co‐occurring pollutant migration, the underlying interfacial and biogeochemical mechanisms remain largely unclear.

Short‐Term Response of Soil Health Indicators to Cover Crop Management in Small‐Scale Vegetable Cropping Systems

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT A 2‐year field experiment (2022–2023) was conducted on a clay loam soil in Quebec, Canada, to evaluate the short‐term effect of spring‐seeded cover crop termination methods on soil health indicators. A mixture of field peas (Pisum sativum L.) with oats (Avena sativa L.) in 2022 and with faba beans (Vicia faba L.) in 2023 was seeded in early ...

Multivariate trait profiling and genetic diversity in a global foxtail millet germplasm panel

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 1077-1088, June 2026.
Four elite foxtail millet groups discovered from 260 accessions: perfect for breeding climate‐resilient, high‐yielding dual‐purpose crops. Abstract Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.), known for its climate resilience and dual‐purpose utility, is underutilized in breeding programs despite its agricultural potential.
