Advancing European Plant Variety Registration: Data‐Driven Insights and Stakeholder Perspectives

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient plant variety registration is crucial for fostering innovation in the European Union, yet the current regulatory framework is complex and faces calls for reform. This study provides data‐driven evidence to inform the ongoing legislative debate by employing a mixed‐methods approach.

The effect of grasses grown for seed in mixture with legumes on the incidence of weeds and soil nitrogen content [PDF]

, 2002
This report was presented at the UK Organic Research 2002 Conference on behalf of the Colloquium of Organic Researchers (COR). The incidence of weeds and the content of soil nitrogen were investigated in the first year of a field trial with organic ...

Alternative Policy Designs to Help Farmers Select Profitable Conservation Practices

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary private carbon initiatives (VPCIs) promote the implementation of agricultural conservation practices that mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) via financial incentives to participating farmers. Simultaneously, an array of public policies supports the adoption of conservation practices through technical and financial ...

Photosynthetic and physiological responses of small seeded faba bean genotypes (Vicia faba L.) to salinity stress: identification of a contrasting pair towards salinity

Photosynthetica, 2020
In this study, we examined the behavior of six faba bean (Vicia faba L.) genotypes under salinity conditions at the seedling stage. The evaluation was assessed using 21 morphological, physiological, and photosynthetic traits under control, moderate, and ...

Impact of methionine nutrition on the leaf proteome of Lupinus angustifolius L. and Vicia faba L. [PDF]

, 2011
Grain legumes possess a gernerally favourable seed protein amino acid composition but low contents of sulfur amino acids decrease their nutrient value. To enhance the methionie content of local grain legumes by plant breeding, phenotypical attributes for

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Green manuring for tropical organic cropping – A comparative analysis [PDF]

, 2008
Green manuring is an essential component of tropical organic farming. Field studies evaluated the use of three legumes as in situ or ex situ green manures, along with a nonlegume green manure and a control to ascertain their impacts on soil properties ...

Evaluating the African arid corridor hypothesis: A meta‐analysis including the phylogenetic and biogeographical history of Sesamothamnus

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise We examined the African arid corridor (AAC) disjunction pattern of vascular plants between northeastern and southwestern Africa in the context of geological and climatic events since the late Miocene. We developed a phylogenetic and biogeographical framework for the arid‐adapted genus Sesamothamnus (Pedaliaceae), a classic example of ...

A leaf phenomics approach for estimating belowground traits in North American licorice

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Selective breeding over thousands of years has prioritized aboveground yield, with little regard for changes belowground. Roots underpin plant growth and resilience, but our knowledge of these critical structures lags behind that of aboveground structures.

Soil P Status and Nitrogen Fixation on Organic Dairy Farms in Ontario and Nova Scotia [PDF]

, 2010
Legumes are a key source of nitrogen (N) in organic production systems. However, there is evidence that reduced inputs may be leading to deficient soil phosphorus (P) on some organic dairy farms (Roberts et. al. 2008).
