Preharvest application of antagonistic yeasts for the control of fungal pathogens in organic peach and plum orchards

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5881-5889, 15 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The control of fungal diseases in organic fruit production remains a major challenge due to the limited availability of authorized phytosanitary tools. This study evaluates the efficacy of two antagonistic yeasts – Metschnikowia pulcherrima L672 and Hanseniaspora uvarum L793 – in organic peach ( Prunus persica ) and plum ( Prunus ...

Chitosan‐induced modulation of secondary metabolism and stress tolerance in Salvia rosmarinus under combined drought and heat stress

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5989-6001, 15 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Abiotic stresses, particularly drought and elevated temperatures, negatively affect plant physiological and metabolic processes. This study investigated the effects of drought, heat, and combined stress on Salvia rosmarinus (rosemary), and evaluated foliar‐applied chitosan as a biostimulant.

End‐of‐season corn stalk analysis as a tool to fine‐tune potassium and nitrogen management

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Corn (Zea mays L.) requires proper nutrient management for optimal growth, and tissue testing plays an important role in refining recommendations. Corn stalk nitrate test (CSNT) is used to evaluate nitrogen (N) management; however, a comparable plant‐based diagnostic tool for potassium (K) is lacking. This study evaluated extractants for stalk‐

Optimization of a reactor for biostimulant production with emphasis on the economic aspects of hydrolysis

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 7, Page 3484-3494, July 2026.
Abstract Biostimulants are increasingly used in agriculture to promote plant growth, improve stress tolerance, and support sustainable farming practices. One common method of production is chemical hydrolysis of protein‐rich waste, such as tannery by‐products, offering an economical and eco‐friendly alternative to conventional raw materials.

Rust resistance in barley accessions County and BHS248

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Rusts can cause devastating losses of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in epidemic years. Several reactions to Puccinia hordei (Rph) genes/quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance to barley leaf rust (BLR) have been documented. In contrast, there is a dearth of characterized resistance sources against stem rust (SR) caused by Puccinia graminis.
