Drone‐based phenotyping of maize for multiple disease resistance and yield in breeding field trials
Abstract Improving selection for multiple disease resistance (MDR) and yield in maize (Zea mays L.) requires high‐throughput, objective phenotyping tools, particularly under field conditions where several foliar diseases co‐occur. We evaluated drone‐based multispectral vegetation indices (VIs) for predicting resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB ...

Abstract Plant breeding is essential for crop improvement, yet progress is often hindered by slow, laborious, and subjective field phenotyping methods. High‐throughput phenotyping (HTP), particularly image‐based methodologies powered by machine learning, offers a pathway to overcome these limitations.

The use of edible insects in human food
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Markets Mitigate Land‐Use Competition From Energy Crops and Increase Farm Revenues
ABSTRACT Meeting the US Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge target of 35 billion gal annually by 2050 will require an estimated 380 million–700 million dry tons of agricultural biomass feedstock. This study evaluates the implications of large‐scale biomass production for land use, crop production, and market outcomes under mature market ...

The Biofuels Blueprint: Understanding the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard
ABSTRACT We provide a comprehensive review of the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), synthesizing nearly two decades of program evolution, market outcomes, and economic analysis. The RFS mandates minimum volumes of renewable fuel blending through a nested structure based on life‐cycle greenhouse gas reductions, enforced via tradeable Renewable ...

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