Strip cropping system for sustainable food and energy production [PDF]

, 2010
Strip cropping is a strategy for subdividing single fields into strips with different crops in order to gain the same positive effects known from crop rotations. No additional yield was found by using traditional market pricing, however.

Climate‐Resilient Agriculture Practices for Enhancing Resilient Practices and Food Systems in Dry Regions

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Dry regions are primarily inhabited by smallholder farmers who have limited capacity to enhance agricultural productivity, particularly in crop production. These areas are characterized by low and erratic rainfall that does not support crops to maturity.

Certification and Credibility: Do Seed Certification Systems in Uganda Help Signal Quality to Farmers?

Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 77, Issue 1, Page 48-56, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The value of purchased seed is a product of its underlying genetic information. However, farmers purchasing seed face a classic information asymmetry problem, as varietal identity is not directly observable. In this article we investigate the effectiveness of two certification systems in addressing this issue in the context of Uganda: the ...

COVID‐19 and Farm Management in India: Evidence From the Rural–Urban Interface of Bangalore

Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 77, Issue 1, Page 74-93, February 2026.
ABSTRACT We examine farm management decisions of smallholder farmers during the first wave of COVID‐19 infections in India between June 2020 and March 2021. We use panel data from 256 farm households in the rural–urban interface of Bangalore from a pre‐COVID‐19 face‐to‐face survey and a phone survey at the end of the first COVID‐19 wave.

Plant diversification impact on the oviposition response of a predatory bug in a laboratory set‐up

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 128-134, February 2026.
Orius majusculus laid nearly twice as many eggs in cages with two different crop species compared with a single species. Depending on crop species, O. majusculus utilised different plant structures for oviposition. Crop diversification supports reproduction, and thus, is likely to have a positive effect on O.

Contrast in Mycorrhizal Associations Leads to Divergent Rhizosphere Metabolomes and Plant–Soil Feedback Among Grassland Species

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
Most terrestrial plants are colonised by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi but vary in the degree to which they benefit from and depend on these fungi. Here we show that plants can make the interaction with mycorrhizal fungi more beneficial to themselves by regulating the chemical composition of organic compounds released by plant roots into the soil ...

Intercropping and environmental seasonality modulate the physiology and growth of Hancornia speciosa (Gomes)

CABI Agriculture and Bioscience
Background The recovery process of degraded areas with the implantation of orchards of native species is still little known. Thus, we intend to evaluate the physiological performance of Hancornia speciosa during different seasons of the year, cultivated ...

Agricultural System Resilience of Industrial Hemp: An Exploratory Value Web Analysis in the Swabian Alb

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study assessed the industrial hemp value web resilience in the Swabian Alb, Southern Germany, where regional implementation remains limited despite hemp's bioeconomy potential. Using an indicator framework and stakeholder interviews, the research found the small, fluctuating cultivation area (e.g., 25 ha in 2024) focuses on hemp seed valorisation;
