Effects of Compost Application on Growth, Gas Exchange, and Green Yield of Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] Varieties

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cowpea is an important dual‐purpose legume cultivated for its leaves, fresh pods, and grains, yet productivity in Ethiopia remains low due to poor‐yielding varieties and nutrient‐deficient soils. This study evaluated the effects of compost application on growth, physiological performance, and yield of two cowpea varieties (Bole and Kenkety ...

Altered NPK Fertigation With Triacontanol Supplementation Indicates Promising Improvements to Cannabis Flower Yield and Volatile Composition

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.
Cannabis is cultivated for its flowers, which are abundant in volatile terpenes that impact sensory and therapeutic properties. These compounds are therefore targets for enhancement during cultivation. One such strategy is the provision of biostimulants, such as the long‐chain primary alcohol triacontanol (TRIA), which may be sourced from plant waxes ...

Response of specific leaf area to light: comparative study of a large species set

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Specific leaf area (SLA) is a commonly used proxy for the leaf economy spectrum in plants, separating species with low‐cost leaves (in terms of carbon) with short lifespan and hence fast turnover from species with high‐cost and long‐lived leaves. While SLA is used mainly for interspecific comparisons, it also varies within species both ontogenetically ...

Compost‐Based Organic Amendments and Synthetic Fertilisers Enhance Soil Health and Crop Yield Worldwide

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Fertiliser management is central to achieving sustainable increases in crop productivity while maintaining soil health. Yet, it remains unclear how chemical fertilisers, organic amendments (OAs), or their combination have comparable effects on soil health at a global scale.

Association of Agro‐Morphological Traits With Cup Quality in Accessions of Coffea arabica L. From the INIA Germplasm Bank, Peru

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, Peruvian coffee production has increasingly focused on specialty coffees, with cup quality (CQ) as a key criterion. While previous studies have characterized the Coffee Germplasm Collection of the National Institute of Agrarian Innovation (CGC‐INIA), few studies have analyzed coffee cup quality.

Microbial Biostimulants Improve Germination, Growth and Nutrient Availability of Ornamental Kale in Sustainable Peat‐Free Cultivation

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Microbial biostimulant application increased germination, growth and nutrient availability in ornamental kale grown in both peat‐based and peat‐free substrates. Improvements in phosphorus and potassium availability and reduced bulk density in peat‐free media highlight the potential of microbial biostimulants to enhance plant establishment and support ...
