Food Gifting and Household Food Security

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food gifting provides an important means of risk sharing in agrarian economies where farming households have limited access to formal credit and insurance markets. Food gifting is also an important source of food for households that are struggling with food scarcity.

Integrating cover crops to enhance abaca (Musa textilis Nee) production in Leyte, East‐Central Philippines

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.

Diversity of Arthropods and Parasitic Nematodes Population in Intercropping Patterns of Robusta Coffee

Coffee and Cocoa Research Journal, 2019
Shade plants affect the microclimates around the plants which directly affect the population of arthropods, especially insects. Therefore, this research was needed to analyze the diversity and role composition of insects in Robusta coffee plantations ...

Optimal interspecific distance maintains soybean yield by promoting canopy–root synergy in a maize–soybean relay strip cropping system

Crop Journal
Maize–soybean relay cropping increases land-equivalent ratio, but shading often limits soybean productivity. Optimizing strip relay configurations improves the light environment for soybean, enhancing its photosynthetic capacity and yield. In a four-year

Did the Indian Green Revolution Change the Farm Size–Productivity Relationship?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 591-608, July 2026.
ABSTRACT We examine the relationship between farm size and productivity during India's Green Revolution, a period of rapid technological transformation. Using a unique panel of over 5000 Indian farm households that spans the Green Revolution (1971–1999), we show that the classic (linear) inverse farm size–productivity relationship gradually evolved ...

Enhancing winter canola integration into soybean cropping systems through relay intercropping

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Winter canola (Brassica napus L.) has the potential to enhance the sustainability of soybean‑based cropping systems when integrated as a relay‑intercropped winter oilseed. A critical factor for successful overwinter survival is timely seeding that allows sufficient rosette development before dormancy.

Multi‐Induction Strategies in Crops: Mechanisms, Synergistic Effects, and Sustainable Applications for Enhanced Secondary Metabolite Production

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
This review analyzes single/combined abiotic (light, water, nutrients, hormones) and biotic (microbes, yeast) elicitors regulating signaling, gene expression, and metabolism to boost plant secondary metabolites. It highlights synergistic multielicitor strategies for crop quality and functional foods, while critically addressing current limitations and ...

Extensive but fragmented evidence limits understanding of factors shaping farmers' decisions regarding diversified farming systems: A global evidence map

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2212-2232, July 2026.
Abstract Diversified farming systems are increasingly recognised for their potential to enhance the sustainability and resilience of food systems. Yet it remains unclear whether empirical research adequately captures the drivers and constraints shaping farmers' decisions regarding diversified farming systems across stages of decision‐making ...

Toxicity of aqueous extracts of Ilex paraguariensis A.St.‐Hil. about Euphorbia heterophylla L.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6196-6206, July 2026.
Aqueous extracts of Ilex paraguariensis A.St.‐Hil. strongly inhibit Euphorbia heterophylla L. germination and early seedling growth, but show mild phytotoxicity on mature plants, paradoxically promoting biomass via antioxidants. Abstract BACKGROUND The escalating challenge of herbicide‐resistant weeds, exemplified by Euphorbia heterophylla L.

Thirty years of glyphosate‐resistant crops and weeds: Current situation and future prospects

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5987-6009, July 2026.
Since 1996, when the first glyphosate‐resistant crop was commercialized and the first resistant weed was reported, resistance has expanded globally. This review analyzes emergence patterns across weed species, crops, regions, resistance mechanisms, and herbicides.
