Food Security Versus Environmental Health: The Nitrogen Dilemma

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and, consequently, crop production. However, the cycling of nitrogen in the environment can have negative effects. Here, we review the historical development of scientific and public awareness of these effects and the influence this has had on political action to control them.

Effects of Crop Rotation and Hydrogel Application on Soil Biological Properties and Wheat Biomass Production in Drylands

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and aim Conservation agriculture (CA) is rapidly gaining traction to promote sustainable crop production, focusing on minimum soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and strategic crop rotation. Moreover, hydrogel is increasingly being used to improve water retention, including in combination with CA, particularly in water limited ...

Soil Type Controls the Effects of the Nitrification Inhibitor DMPP on Nitrate Leaching and Mineral N Retention Under Simulated Heavy Rainfall

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nitrate (NO3−) leaching is a major nitrogen (N) loss pathway in agriculture and may increase with more frequent heavy rainfall. Nitrification inhibitors, such as 3,4‐dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), can reduce these losses, but their effectiveness under frequent heavy rainfall events remains unclear, which limits their targeted ...

Responses of primary producers, anoxia, and chemical feedback to Late Glacial climate change: Insights from a paired lake approach

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Worldwide, lacustrine ecosystems are threatened by eutrophication and deoxygenation. Both processes are driven by the combined effects of human activities and climate change. Understanding the pre‐anthropogenic nexus between warming, eutrophication, deoxygenation, and related feedback is essential to determine how lakes respond to rapid ...

Influence of the growing area on cone yield and alpha and beta acid content in Cascade hops: An Italian case study

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Territorial food production is a well‐known quality trait, which is attracting new customer preferences for different agricultural products. In this context, many microbreweries and agricultural breweries started to cultivate their own small hopyard to exploit the so‐called “terroir” effect.

Determination of vitamin C and β‐carotene content in cherry tomato genotypes

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) is valued for its high yield potential and rich antioxidant composition. This study aimed to evaluate morphological traits, yield performance, and antioxidant content of nine cherry tomato genotypes grown under field conditions in Bangladesh.
