Integrated Soil Salinisation Management Strategies in Agriculture

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
This review synthesises integrated water, agronomic, and biochemical strategies for managing soil salinisation, presenting a decision framework for selecting cost‐effective amendments based on initial soil assessment and long‐term sustainability monitoring. ABSTRACT Soil salinisation poses a global threat to agricultural sustainability, affecting about

Weed Management Influences the Accumulation of Organic Matter in the Soil and Productivity in Coffee Farming

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.
The management of weeds can influence organic matter (OM) and organic carbon (OC) levels, impacting the productivity and sustainability of coffee plantations. This study aimed to evaluate OM and OC levels in coffee soils under different weed management practices and their influence on coffee tree physiology and productivity. The experiment featured six

Exploring Agrivoltaics: A Pathway to Climate‐Resilient and Productive Land Use in Northern Bangladesh

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The growing demand for food, energy, and water in resource‐constrained regions intensifies land‐use conflicts, where solar photovoltaic (PV) expansion often competes with agriculture. Agrivoltaics, the co‐location of crop cultivation beneath PV systems, offers a potential dual‐use solution to enhance land efficiency. This study presents one of

Benefits of Improved Groundnut Technologies to Resource-poor Farmers: A Participatory Approach [PDF]

Considering that non-adoption of improved groundnut technologies by the small and resource-poor farmers is due to non-availability of quality seeds, poor knowledge, inappropriateness of technologies, etc., in the current study, improved groundnut ...

Performance of an Elderberry–Bell Pepper Agroforestry System in the Southeastern US and Insights for Farm Decision‐Making

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Rising global food demand has intensified agricultural practices that increase yields but often degrade soil, reduce biodiversity, and undermine long‐term sustainability. Nature‐based solutions such as agroforestry, which integrates perennial shrubs or trees with annual crops, offer pathways for sustainable intensification through income ...

Long‐Term Management Shapes Soil Microbial Communities Primarily Through Modulating Soil Habitat Quality in Swiss Croplands

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities are key drivers of soil functioning in agricultural systems. Yet the relative influence of soil properties and cropping practices on their diversity remains insufficiently understood. We investigated 60 cropland sites in western Switzerland, covering a broad range of soil properties and cropping practices, to explore

The Effect of Summer Cover Cropping on Soil Health Is Limited by the Quantity of Carbon Inputs in a Winter Dominant Low Rainfall Environment

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The effects of summer cover crops on cash crop yields and soil health in semi‐arid cropping systems in southern Australia remain largely unexplored. A study was conducted in Western Australia to investigate cover crop impacts on soil carbon and nitrogen cycling, soil water, and mineral nitrogen (N) and cash crop yield.

How Do Management Choices Impact the Performance of Cassava‐Legume Intercropping in Africa? A Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Intercropping can enable sustainable intensification. In Africa, smallholder farmers rely on Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a staple food. Nevertheless, the performance of cassava intercropping emerges from management choices such as legume species selection, planting density, sowing time, and nitrogen (N) fertilisation as well as soil ...
