On‐Farm Demonstration and Economic Evaluation of an IoT Sensing System for Irrigation Management in South Carolina

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irrigation can strongly influence agricultural productivity and sustainability. While sensor‐based irrigation has the potential to improve yield, reduce input costs and enhance resource‐use efficiency, its adoption in commercial agriculture remains limited.

DEVELOPING FLEXIBLE ECONOMIC THRESHOLDS FOR PEST MANAGEMENT USING DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING [PDF]

The rice stink bug is a major pest of rice in Texas, causing quality related damage. The previous threshold used for assisting in rice stink bug spray decisions lacked flexibility in economic and production decision variables and neglected the dynamics ...

‘The most advanced outpost of cultivation’: palynological evidence for cereal agriculture and population resilience in a marginal upland environment

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Upland farming in Europe is frequently assumed to have been limited and precarious, despite relict spade‐dug ridges providing firm evidence of past crop growing. Direct evidence for crop types in post‑Medieval to Modern (~since 1500 CE) uplands is rare; yet, in Ireland, relict spade‐dug ridges that date to this period are commonly interpreted ...

An Unbalanced Nested Error Component Model for Estimating Pest Damage Functions and the Value of Rootworm Bt Corn [PDF]

We apply Antweiler’s (2001) double-nested unbalanced panel data model to estimate a western corn rootworm damage function using data from field trials in Illinois and Nebraska.

Ngarrawa (mound spring) sediments as archives of Holocene environmental change in arid central Australia: Insights from Itrax XRF scanning

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central Australia's ngarrawa, or ‘mound springs’, are unique hydrological systems that serve as some of the only near‐permanent sources of water and continuous sediment deposition in Australia's arid interior. As such, they hold significant potential as palaeo‐climate and ‐environmental archives in a region where many aspects of past climate ...

Analysis of plant science higher education reveals mixed provision which falls short of delivering national priorities

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 78-90, March 2025.
Abstract Background Many reports from the UK government and other organisations highlight a need for a plant aware workforce, and some enumerate specific areas of plant science where there is a skills shortage. We have undertaken a systematic analysis of the content of degree programmes that advertise as teaching plant biology to determine if the UK ...
