ABSTRACT Questions have recently been raised about the suitability of using porewater samples collected with suction lysimeters to estimate per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mass discharge in the vadose zone. Multiple lines of evidence were evaluated to determine if porewater samples collected during a data gaps investigation in the former ...

Crop and soil responses to 24 years of wheat residue removal and tillage
Abstract Retaining crop residue on agricultural land mitigates soil erosion and conserves nutrients, but its removal generates a valuable commodity for competing uses in agriculture and industry. Understanding long‐term effects of crop residue removal on crop performance and soil condition is essential to guide management decisions regarding ...

Evaluating early‐season hail damage in corn and its interaction with Goss's wilt
Abstract Hailstorm losses are associated with plant defoliation, stand losses, and reduced crop canopy capacity to compete with weeds. Additionally, hail wounds in plants might favor disease development, potentially further reducing corn yields. Corn yield losses due to hailstorms early in the growing season are considered minor due to an expected ...

Truck-mounted platform elevates orchard workers
The truck-mounted, adjustable platform shown in photos was developed for use in spraying, pruning, and harvesting of small-scale plots. It might also be adapted to a number of other farm operations. A hundred-gallon spray rig can be carried in the bed of

Made in the shade: Leaf responses of native wildflowers to single‐axis photovoltaic solar energy
As solar energy expands globally, balancing renewable power generation with biodiversity and ecosystem health has become an urgent challenge. This study investigated how native wildflowers respond at leaf level to the unique microclimates created by rotating solar panels in California's Central Valley.

Optimizing PWM performance requires not only appropriate duty cycle selection, but also careful choice of adjuvant formulation tailored to each nozzle type. Drift control agents increased droplet size and reduced fine droplets, mitigating PWM‐induced variability. Decreasing the duty cycle consistently narrowed the spray angle.
