Effect of weed management strategies on the risk of enteric pathogen transfer into the food chain and lettuce quality [PDF]

, 2007
The hygienic quality of raw edible vegetables such as lettuce may be influenced by pathogen transfer from soil to plant, which might occur during weed control by hoeing or as splash-effects during rainfall.

Nanocomposite Reduces Volatile and Aqueous Reactive Nitrogen Losses From Soil Compared to Conventional and Alternative Fertilisers

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Reactive nitrogen losses from agriculture contribute substantially to greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution and ecosystem degradation. Controlled‐release fertiliser technologies offer potential solutions, yet few comprehensively evaluate performance across multiple nitrogen loss pathways and soil types.

Leaf-Encapsulated Vaccines: Agroinfiltration and Transient Expression of the Antigen Staphylococcal Endotoxin B in Radish Leaves. [PDF]

, 2018
Transgene introgression is a major concern associated with transgenic plant-based vaccines. Agroinfiltration can be used to selectively transform nonreproductive organs and avoid introgression.

Comparison of Uptake of Cadmium at Low Concentrations Under Hydroponic and Soil‐Based Agriculture Systems for Lettuce, Indian Spinach and Methi

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Using recycled water for agriculture offers a sustainable approach by adding inherent nutrients and moisture to the soil. However, it contains unwanted contaminants such as heavy metals like cadmium at lower concentrations. This study assessed the comparative response of three leafy crops ‐ lettuce, Indian spinach and methi, against cadmium ...

Exploring the Role of Intercropping and Mulching on Modulating Lettuce Biomass and Rhizosphere Microbiome

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Modern agriculture faces the dual challenge of maintaining high yields while minimising environmental impact, all under increasingly difficult climatic conditions. Practices such as intercropping and mulching have demonstrated potential to improve resource use efficiency, but their effects on crop performance and soil microbial communities ...
