Influence of the growing area on cone yield and alpha and beta acid content in Cascade hops: An Italian case study

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Territorial food production is a well‐known quality trait, which is attracting new customer preferences for different agricultural products. In this context, many microbreweries and agricultural breweries started to cultivate their own small hopyard to exploit the so‐called “terroir” effect.

No‐Tillage Enhances Macroaggregate Stability and Carbon‐Nitrogen Storage but Drives Aggregate‐Size‐Dependent Phosphorus and Base Cation Distribution in Highly Weathered Tropical Soils of Central Africa

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamics of soil aggregate stability and the associated organic carbon and nutrient pools under contrasting tillage practices remain underexplored in the humid tropics of Central Africa, where rapid organic matter decomposition due to high temperatures and microbial activity challenges soil health.

Modified Biochar for Wastewater Nutrient Recovery and Slow‐Release Fertilization in Sandy Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modified biochars are increasingly recognized as multifunctional materials for wastewater nutrient recovery and slow‐release fertilization in sandy agroecosystems. This review evaluates modified biochars, with particular emphasis on tyre‐derived biochar (TBC), for (i) recovery of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from wastewater and digestate ...

Pro‐environmental claims versus carbon realities: Behavioural insights of smallholder mandarin farmers in Nepal

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Agriculture is one of the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting Pro‐Environmental Behaviour (PEB) among farmers offers substantial potential for climate change mitigation. However, understanding of the psychological factors shaping farmers' perceived PEB and how these perceptions align with their actual environmental ...

Doses of Crotalaria juncea: Residual effect on zucchini and maize crop in sequence to broccoli

Revista Ceres
Amounts of N from green manures not absorbed in the first cycle can be absorbed by the subsequent crops. Therefore, it is important to quantify and monitor the residual effects of green manure to increase the agronomic benefits of its use in cropping ...

The secondary effect of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) catch crop in sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata) cultivation

Folia Horticulturae, 2010
A field experiment was carried out in central-eastern Poland (52°06’N, 22°55’E) to investigate the effect of a sunflower catch crop used as green manure sown on three different dates (21st July, 4th and 18th August) on sweet corn yield and growth.
