Temporal and Environmental Influences on the Survival of Escherichia coli in Poultry Litter‐Based Soil Amendments in Georgia Sweet Onion Production Systems

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Previous studies have shown that pathogen survival in the biological soil amendments of animal origin (BSAAO) is mediated by meteorological conditions. Hence, a 2‐year field study was conducted in Georgia with four soil amendment treatments (heat‐treated poultry pellets, HTPPs; composted poultry litter, PL; unamended, UN) inoculated with ...

Alley cropping opportunities and research priorities in orchard systems: A case study in northern California

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Alley cropping is the production of annual and perennial cash crops between orchard trees. Despite its documented benefits, adoption of alley cropping in California remains limited. This paper describes a long‐term commercial alley cropping system in northern California and identifies research areas that can support this practice.

Bespoke Precision Agriculture for Small‐Scale Farming in Sub‐Saharan Africa: Defining Potential Benefits and Pathways

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Precision agriculture (PA) holds enormous potential for smallholder farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), where agriculture remains central to economic development, employing more than half of the adult population and contributing significantly to GDP. However, adoption rates remain low.

Micro-Sprinkler and Fan Cooling for Dairy Cows: Practical Design Considerations [PDF]

, 1992
Research and on-farm demonstrations have shown that micro-sprinklers, spray jets and fan cooling systems can be effective in relieving heat stress in dairy cows under hot, humid conditions. Based on these results, many dairymen are considering installing

Impacts of 4R nitrogen management on soil health and residual soil nitrate across annual and perennial cropping systems

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important and expensive inputs for crop production. Inefficient N management reduces profitability and contributes to nitrate (NO3−) accumulation in groundwater, posing risks to environmental quality. The 4R nutrient stewardship framework aims to optimize fertilizer management by applying four components: right ...
