Multifunctionality of annual forage crop mixtures for improved biomass, beef cattle diets, and soil health outcomes

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Cover crop mixtures (CCMs) can fit well into various agricultural production systems and have gained popularity among grain and livestock producers, as well as organic and market gardeners across western Canada, due to their potential to enhance forage production and soil health.

Winter wheat roots grow twice as deep as spring wheat roots, is this important for N uptake and N leaching losses? [PDF]

, 2009
Cropping systems comprising winter catch crops followed by spring wheat could reduce N leaching risks compared to traditional winter wheat systems in humid climates.

Lignin composition correlates with pod dehiscence in hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth)

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Farmers and policy makers are increasingly interested in cover cropping to remedy harms caused by annual cash crop systems. However, species used for cover cropping have limited breeding and improvement histories. The objective of this study was to examine seed pod lignin profiles in relation to pod dehiscence (shatter) in the semi ...

Sustainable bioplastics manufacturing from renewable sources

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 686-708, April 2026.
Bioplastics are manufactured by using polymers from different bio‐based sources. These novel materials not only offer biodegradability but also possess various functional properties that make them suitable for diverse applications. Recent developments in the preparation of bioplastics are reported, highlighting the distinct properties of each type of ...

Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity under legume intercropping and soil tillage in semi‐arid conditions

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Climate change and intensive agricultural practices threaten wheat productivity; therefore, the development of sustainable strategies is required. This study hypothesized that integrating legume cover crops under conservation tillage could sustain winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity while enhancing agroecological resilience.

Summer‐dormant, perennial groundcover has minimal effect on plant‐available nutrients and no effect on maize yield

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Conventional agriculture in the US Midwest has accelerated crop productivity but also contributed to undesirable environmental issues. Perennial groundcovers (PGCs), such as cool‐season grasses intercropped in the maize (Zea mays L.) interrow, have the potential to reduce soil erosion rates and mitigate nutrient losses.

Seed Dormancy in Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) Is Influenced by Genotype and Environment

Agronomy, 2020
Seed dormancy complicates the agricultural use of many legume species. Understanding the genetic and environmental drivers of seed dormancy is necessary for advancing crop improvement for legumes, such as Vicia villosa.

Insights from a two‐decade research on crop rotation and biocover impact on the sustainability of no‐till soybean systems

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Sustainable soybean production in no‐tillage systems necessitates integrated strategies to enhance yield stability while preserving soil health, particularly in the southeastern United States, where long‐term crop rotation and cover crop data are limited. This study evaluated the crop rotations and cover crops' effect on soybean (Glycine max L.
