Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.Climate shocks and the agroecology–resilience nexus of smallholders. Summary of key findings: Agroecology increases smallholder resilience capacity by 8.7% in the short term under a decreased rainfall scenario, a projected 11% decline in precipitation reduces resilience by 5.6% and 14.2% in the short and long terms, respectively, and a policy‐induced ...

Oat–Sesbania Rotation Boosts Oat Yield and Profit via Soil Nutrient Buildup and Dual Harvest
Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2026.Under the oat–Sesbania rotation system, soil nutrient accumulation serves as a key driver of increased oat yield and quality, with benefits tending to intensify over successive rotational years. Green manure incorporation of Sesbania promotes soil and crop improvement, whereas forage harvesting of Sesbania attains comparable agronomic outcomes while ...

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Abaca (Musa textilis Nee) is a fiber crop, closely related to banana (Musa sp.). However, it requires 15–18 months from transplanting to first harvest, leaving the soil between plants vulnerable to erosion or weed infestation. Integrating cover crops into abaca plantations may help mitigate these issues.

Soil carbon stock and physical attributes under land‐use chronosequence in the Brazilian Cerrado
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Land‐use changes impact soil physical quality and carbon stocks. Most studies evaluating the conversion of native Brazilian Cerrado to agriculture focus on surface soil layers (up to 40 cm), with fewer examining deeper layers (0–100 cm). This study assessed the impacts of different land‐use systems on soil physical attributes and soil organic ...

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT The use of chemical fertilizers is economically and environmentally costly to produce and apply. Therefore, optimized fertilizer use is critical to increase or maintain crop yields. We evaluated the productive and nutritional characteristics of the Stylosanthes cv “Campo Grande” submitted to different cutting date and phosphate fertilization ...

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Rising global temperatures increasingly threaten bean production and the food security of millions of people who depend on these protein‐rich legumes. Heat stress during the reproductive stages induces pollen sterility, flower abscission, and disruptions in source–sink relationships, resulting in yield losses of 30%–40% or more when critical ...

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Cicer arietinum L. (chickpea) is susceptible to Ascochyta blight (AB). Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are symbiotic root colonizing fungi that exchange soil nutrients for photosynthetic carbon. AMF form common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs), connecting plant roots and transferring nutrients.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1662-1674, September 2026.Major staple crops are often introduced and cultivated in monocultures. Yams are staple crops native to the majority of low‐ and middle‐income countries and can provide an alternative to introduced staple crops. We showed that lesser yams cultivated together with teak trees (planted at the border of the farm) are more profitable than lesser yam ...

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1517-1532, September 2026.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 ...
