The Effect of Summer Cover Cropping on Soil Health Is Limited by the Quantity of Carbon Inputs in a Winter Dominant Low Rainfall Environment

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The effects of summer cover crops on cash crop yields and soil health in semi‐arid cropping systems in southern Australia remain largely unexplored. A study was conducted in Western Australia to investigate cover crop impacts on soil carbon and nitrogen cycling, soil water, and mineral nitrogen (N) and cash crop yield.

Soil Nitrogen Dynamics and Early Wheat Early Growth in Response to Wood‐ and Crab Shell‐Derived Biochar Amended With Cow Urine or Seaweed Extract

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biochar provides multiple agronomic benefits, including carbon sequestration and reduced nutrient leaching. This study evaluated the effects of wood‐ and crab shell‐based biochar, enriched with cow urine or liquid seaweed extract, on soil nitrogen (N) dynamics and early spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth. Three experiments were conducted:

How Do Management Choices Impact the Performance of Cassava‐Legume Intercropping in Africa? A Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Intercropping can enable sustainable intensification. In Africa, smallholder farmers rely on Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a staple food. Nevertheless, the performance of cassava intercropping emerges from management choices such as legume species selection, planting density, sowing time, and nitrogen (N) fertilisation as well as soil ...

Plasma Activated Water (PAW) in Organic Cultivation: An Experimental Study on Soil Properties and Plant Responses

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study demonstrates that PAW enhances microbial activity and nutrient cycling in organically managed soils, highlighting its potential for organic agricultural practices. ABSTRACT Plasma‐activated water (PAW), known for containing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), is used to improve different agronomic traits in crops.

Amendment of Potting Soil With Black Soldier Fly Byproducts Affects Fungus Gnat Development

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 495-507, June 2026.
The study's three experiments were conducted in accordance with the development stages of fungus gnats, with adults emerging from the four treatment substrates and being caught on sticky cards as a common indicator. The treatments were formed from peat‐free potting soil, either pure or supplemented with combinations of byproducts from black soldier fly
