Oat–Sesbania Rotation Boosts Oat Yield and Profit via Soil Nutrient Buildup and Dual Harvest
Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2026.Under the oat–Sesbania rotation system, soil nutrient accumulation serves as a key driver of increased oat yield and quality, with benefits tending to intensify over successive rotational years. Green manure incorporation of Sesbania promotes soil and crop improvement, whereas forage harvesting of Sesbania attains comparable agronomic outcomes while ...

Not Necessarily Farm‐Wives: The Working Women of Rural Aotearoa/New Zealand
New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 3, December 2026.ABSTRACT There's a perception farm‐resident women are farmers or farmwives (e.g., cooks, record‐keepers, errand‐runners). Yet most farm‐resident women record a non‐farm occupation in their census returns. This article investigates this anomaly. It looks at the changing status of farm and other rural women, the diversity of non‐farming careers they ...

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 317-355, November 2026.ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.
