Summer‐dormant, perennial groundcover has minimal effect on plant‐available nutrients and no effect on maize yield

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Conventional agriculture in the US Midwest has accelerated crop productivity but also contributed to undesirable environmental issues. Perennial groundcovers (PGCs), such as cool‐season grasses intercropped in the maize (Zea mays L.) interrow, have the potential to reduce soil erosion rates and mitigate nutrient losses.

Rapid ideal habitat selection in a homogeneous environment

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Studies of density‐dependent habitat selection typically assess choices between two or more distinctly different habitat opportunities. Although such studies can clearly document habitat choice, they cannot unambiguously differentiate the effects of density from underlying differences in habitat and their associated cues for choosing some ...

Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) Pollination in New Zealand: A Preliminary Report on Flower Visitors, Natural Pollen Deposition, and Artificial Pollination

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Dragon fruit (pitaya; Hylocereus undatus) is a promising, new high‐value crop in New Zealand. The large nocturnal flowers open for one night and close early in the morning the following day over a 3‐ to 6‐month long flowering period. In dragon fruit's native range, hawkmoths and bats are key nocturnal pollinators, and honey bees visit flowers during ...

Increased temperature and drought do not threaten the mycelium of Tuber melanosporum in Mediterranean regions

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 556-562, March 2026.
Drought and high temperatures are expected to increase in Europe, in particular in Mediterranean regions, where black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) is mainly harvested. This fungus, living in symbiotic ectomycorrhizal association with trees, is important in forest ecosystems and agricultural diversification.

Short‐term responses in weed spatial patterns during early adoption of conservation agriculture practices

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2627-2638, March 2026.
Weed spatial patterns and temporal stability were shaped by species life forms and the cropping systems implemented in the plots. Weed aggregation was more pronounced in conservation agriculture and among perennials. Patch stability was primarily governed by species life form and was stronger among perennials. Abstract BACKGROUND The aggregated spatial

Prospects of Carbon Farming in Australian Broadacre Agriculture: Transition Towards Net Zero

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Australia has legislated to achieve net‐zero emissions by 2050, and its agriculture is a significant part of the implementation plan. This study examines the current status of carbon farming by reviewing relevant literature and the projects registered under the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) scheme of the Australian Government.

A Systematic Approach to Field Testing of Biological Products for Horticulture Is Required to Improve Food Security

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Food security challenges require immediate action to increase food production. Many biological products derived from plant, animal or microbial sources claim they sustainably increase yield, but there are concerns about biosecurity to be investigated before their introduction to the field.

Wheat Yield Response to Organic Fertilisers Depends on Drought Timing in a Sandy Soil

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Organic fertilisers enhance crop drought resilience by improving nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) use efficiency and soil‐plant water relations. However, the underlying mechanisms governing their effects across different drought timings in wheat under sandy soils remain unclear.
