Effects of Regional Weather and Agricultural Practices on the Nest Survival of Northern Lapwings in France

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study monitored nests of lapwings with cameras and weekly visits at inland sites in eastern France, and at coastal sites in northern France. About a third of nests failed; the main causes of failure were agricultural equipment (11%), abandonment (8.2%), and depredation (7.5%). Estimates of nest survival for a 27‐day incubation were 66% and 59% for

Influence of fodder beet cultivars on the life history traits of Spodoptera exigua [PDF]

Journal of Crop Protection
The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), poses a significant threat to beet plants, adversely affecting their yield. This study assessed the demographic parameters of this pest on seven commercial fodder beet cultivars ...

Growth, Development, and Nitrogen Uptake of Fodder Beet (Beta vulgaris L.) Crops Grown Under Differing Rates and Timing of Nitrogen Fertiliser in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
Fodder beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is an important forage crop used for cattle wintering in New Zealand. Regional nitrogen (N) fertiliser experiments over two seasons (2016–2018) consisting of different N application rates (0–300 kg N/ha) and times of N application (sowing, canopy closure, and mid‐bulb development stage) were used to validate yield ...

Growth Response of Crop Legumes to Soil Microbiota Is Linked With Soil Nutrients and Planting History

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil microbiota provide essential services to plants, but predicting or manipulating these benefits is difficult. Here, we investigated microbial benefits to legume crops at a landscape level to uncover factors that predict those services and can be modified by growers.

The yielding capacity of tetraploid sugar and fodder beets

Euphytica, 1959
Since the discovery of the use of colchicine in plant breeding, breeders have created tetraploid sugar and fodder beet. The results obtained were not very encouraging and therefore they soon proceeded to develop varieties containing triploids.

Insecticide‐level pest control provided by in‐field flower strips

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our findings indicate that in‐field flower strips or derived legume‐based intercropping systems can help reduce reliance on pesticide use in agriculture. Abstract Biodiversity in agricultural landscapes has declined significantly due to intensified farming practices, underscoring the need for sustainable pest management.

Integrating glycerol and straw into digestate applications: Microbial biomass and crop responses under field conditions

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Global food production relies on inorganic nitrogen to meet population consumption demands. However, synthetic fertilizer production currently relies heavily on fossil fuels. Anaerobic digestate offers an alternative source of nutrients because it is produced from organic matter.

Anti-erosion effectiveness of selected crops and the relation to leaf area index (LAI)

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2006
This paper presents results of an experiment carried out in 2000-2003 in the mountain region (southern Poland, 545 m a.s.l.) to determine the effect of over-ground parts growth of fodder beet, winter triticale and horse bean on the intensity of soil ...

Susceptibility of non-cereal crops to Fusarium graminearum complex and their role within cereal crop rotation as a source of inoculum for Fusarium head blight

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2019
Fusarium graminearum, the cause of Fusarium head blight (FHB), is an important cereal pathogen. Moreover, some non-graminaceous crops are also known to be susceptible to F. graminearum infection. This study assessed the presence of F. graminearum species
