Triticale and lupin are promising candidates for sustainable intercropping in low‐input, mixed crop–livestock farming systems in the Mediterranean basin, where they can be grown as rain‐fed crops during the autumn‐winter period. A field trial conducted in Sardinia demonstrated several key findings: the slower canopy development and shorter stature of ...

Dynamics of Collembola ecomorphological groups within a no‐till arable system
Abstract Collembolan ecomorphological groups (i.e., epiedaphic, hemiedaphic and euedaphic) have been proposed as bioindicators of soil health with potential to be applied in agricultural systems. While some studies have investigated disturbance gradients, there is a lack of monitoring studies showing trends over time evaluating changes in management ...

Pheromone stereochemical specificity in the biology of the bean beetle Acanthoscelides obtectus
Abstract The dried bean beetle, Acanthoscelides obtectus, is a serious pest of legume crops, particularly Phaseolus vulgaris beans, and its management is challenging due to the beetle's cryptic larval stage. The major male‐produced pheromone of A. obtectus is methyl (E,R)‐2,4,5‐tetradecatrienoate, crucial for female attraction, with the (S)‐enantiomer ...

Temporary Migration Decisions and Effects on Household Income and Diets in Rural Bangladesh
ABSTRACT Temporary migration is a widely observed phenomenon among poor rural households, yet often overlooked by policy‐makers and not captured well in standard household surveys. Although temporary migration is often related to agricultural seasonality, household preferences for temporary over longer‐term migration, and the differential effects of ...
