Organic Matter Quality and Microbial Activity in Soils Managed With Brachiaria Succession

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although succession systems and brachiaria improve soil quality, gaps remain in microbial community dynamics, activity, and soil organic matter stocks. Methods The objective was to evaluate the carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks of soil organic matter fractions and their distribution, molecular characterization, enzyme activity ...

Weed control in nursery field production

Weeds reduce the value of nursery crops. They compete with crops for nutrients, light, and water. Some vine weeds climb nursery crops, requiring excessive labor for hand removal. Most serious are perennial weeds, which can be harvested with nursery crops

Effects of Crop Rotation and Hydrogel Application on Soil Biological Properties and Wheat Biomass Production in Drylands

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and aim Conservation agriculture (CA) is rapidly gaining traction to promote sustainable crop production, focusing on minimum soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and strategic crop rotation. Moreover, hydrogel is increasingly being used to improve water retention, including in combination with CA, particularly in water limited ...

Integrated characterization of Greek fennel genotypes through morpho‐agronomical characteristics, yield components and phytochemical compounds

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 91-103, March 2025.
Abstract Background Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is a widely cultivated vegetable and aromatic‐medicinal plant. In this research, field studies assessed 12 fennel genotypes of diverse origin, comprising 10 Greek accessions and two European commercial varieties, focusing on their morpho‐agronomical traits, phenolic compounds and antioxidant ...

Phytochemical composition and cultivar‐dependent variation in colored lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and their α‐amylase inhibitory activity

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study investigated cultivar‐dependent variation in the phytochemical composition of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) profiling and high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) quantification, with a focus on enzyme inhibitory activity. RESULTS Significant differences were

Detection and quantification of black foot and crown and root rot pathogens in grapevine nursery soils in the Western Cape of South Africa

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2018
Black foot disease (BFD) and crown and root rot (CRR) are important soilborne diseases that affect young grapevines in nurseries and vineyards. A 3-year survey (2013–2015) of five open-field grapevine nurseries was conducted in the Western Cape Province ...

Identification and quality characterization of a putative novel 17x + 8y high‐molecular‐weight glutenin subunit recombination in bread wheat

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND High‐molecular‐weight glutenin subunits (HMW‐GSs) are major determinants of dough rheological behavior and bread‐making quality in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Among wheat genomes, the Glu‐B1 locus exhibits the highest allelic diversity; however, recombination events between x‐ and y‐type HMW‐GS genes are considered extremely

Agronomic and nutritional performance of lentil–hull‐less barley mixtures under temperate Swiss conditions: protein content, protein yield stability, β‐glucan content and separation ability

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Intercropping of legumes with cereals enhances resilience, resource efficiency, and nutritional quality in food systems, yet few studies have integrated yield stability with grain quantity and post‐harvest processability. Lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.) and hull‐less barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var.

Cereal–legume intercropping for climate‐smart livestock production: insights from oat–alfalfa intercropping

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cereal–legume intercropping can improve forage productivity and quality at the same time as enhancing soil function and reducing environmental impacts, yet integrative evaluations under low‐input conditions are scarce. This study assessed oat (Avena sativa L.)–alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) intercropping for forage yield, nutritive ...
