Controlling banana bunchy top disease in Benin: Crop protection strategies with socio‐economic perspectives

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Banana and plantain are vital for food security and income in West Africa, yet banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) threatens production. This study combined remote sensing, field surveys, modelling and socio‐economic analysis to assess BBTV spread and control strategies in Benin.

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

Genotype‐by‐environment interaction informs selection for seed physiological quality and stink bug tolerance in soybean under pest management contrasts

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Genotype‐by‐environment interaction shaped soybean seed stability under contrasting insecticide regimes. Seed longevity emerged as a stable, management‐relevant trait under pest pressure. High‐pressure, no‐insecticide conditions improved discrimination of tolerant genotypes for integrated pest management deployment.

Using ecoinformatics to evaluate the impact of crop and herbicide rotations on herbicide intensity

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Maize fields with cotton in rotation receive lower herbicide application than fields without cotton. Abstract BACKGROUND Crop rotation is a central component of integrated weed management (IWM) under real‐world conditions, yet its impact on herbicide use remains unclear. To address this challenge, we developed an ecoinformatics‐driven analysis approach

Could adjuvants serve as an agroecological tool?

Frontiers in Agronomy
Adjuvants are agrochemicals or natural substances, commonly mixed with pesticides to increase their efficacy or reduce off-target movement by modifying the physical properties of the spray solution, such as surface tension, droplet size, and ...
