Can Biostimulants and Phytohormones Improve Early Growth, Biomass Allocation, and Photosynthesis in Miscanthus Plug Plants?

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Application of biostimulants and phytohormones enhanced Miscanthus plug growth by increasing height, biomass, and photosynthetic efficiency. Treatments such as Liquid Ice and IAA improved early vigor and resource allocation, offering a scalable strategy to strengthen establishment and accelerate the deployment of Miscanthus for sustainable bioenergy ...

Rhizobia Inoculation Enhances Soybean Productivity Through Optimization of Root and Leaf Traits in the Huang‐Huai‐Hai Plain

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Rhizobia inoculation enhances soybean yield by optimizing root morphology and leaf SPAD, while alleviating the inhibitory effects of nitrogen on nodulation and nitrogenase activity. These physiological improvements promote greater biomass accumulation and seeds per plant, ultimately resulting in significantly higher productivity and profitability ...

Targeting phosphorus loss with carbon farming practices? Results from an on‐farm study

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Agricultural soils lose P to waterbodies and C to the atmosphere. Reversing the C trend requires change in management (carbon farming), but what is the effect of carbon farming practices on P transport from soils to waterbodies? This was empirically studied by analyzing the P loss risks from 20 farms participating in a 5‐year on‐farm carbon ...

Combining social, ecological and economic approaches in knowledge co‐production enables the identification of sustainable farming options

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1261-1279, May 2026.
Abstract Farming systems face an increasing sustainability challenge requiring integrated solutions to minimize the trade‐offs between the social, ecological and economic dimensions of sustainability. Yet, most research remains siloed, limiting interdisciplinary understanding of farming systems as coupled social‐ecological systems (SESs) and precluding

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 792-810, May 2026.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

Enhancing soil health through no‐till, cover crops, and compost: A 5‐year field study

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract The capacity of soil management systems to conserve and promote soil health is crucial for its sustainability. While the effects of individual soil management practices on soil health receive considerable attention, their combined effects remain understudied. This paper presents the results of a 5‐year field experiment designed to evaluate the
