The nitrogen dilemma: Toward a novel fertilization management framework for reconciling productivity and diversity in grasslands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Nitrogen fertilization raises grassland productivity but steadily undermines plant diversity. Instead of applying the same rate everywhere every year, the PRISM framework is designed to rotate high‐ and low‐nitrogen paddocks across the farm over time. This spatiotemporal cycling aims to maintain farm‐scale productivity while creating periodic windows ...

On‐Farm Demonstration and Economic Evaluation of an IoT Sensing System for Irrigation Management in South Carolina

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irrigation can strongly influence agricultural productivity and sustainability. While sensor‐based irrigation has the potential to improve yield, reduce input costs and enhance resource‐use efficiency, its adoption in commercial agriculture remains 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 ...

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 ...

Effect of bio‐fertilization and edapho‐climatic conditions on chickpea nodulation, grain yields, and seed protein in a Mediterranean context: a meta‐analysis approach

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) serve as a protein‐rich staple, particularly in Mediterranean countries, where they are often grown in marginal and water‐stressed areas. This meta‐analysis synthesized evidence from peer‐reviewed publications across Mediterranean countries to assess how chickpea rhizobial inoculation influences chickpea ...

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Valorization of Zingiber officinale Roscoe leaf biomass: phytotoxic potential and chemical profiling toward sustainable weed management

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Zingiber officinale Roscoe is widely cultivated as a spice and functional food, generating substantial amounts of aerial biomass that is commonly discarded after harvest. Within a circular‐economy framework, this study investigated the phytotoxic potential of Z.

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

Long‐Term Straw Returning Combined With Mineral Fertilization Enhances Soil Quality but Elevates P Loss Risks in a Subtropical Rice–Wheat Rotation System, Central China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term straw returning is widely promoted to improve soil quality in intensive cropping systems, yet its combined effects with mineral fertilization on soil quality and phosphorus (P) loss risks remain unclear. Using a 16‐year field experiment in a rice–wheat rotation system, we evaluated the impacts of straw returning (S), NPK ...

Beneath the surface: Seed bank homogenization and multiscalar variation in Boston's community gardens

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban community gardens are often assumed to enhance fine‐scale biodiversity, yet repeated disturbance and shared horticultural norms may also contribute to urban biotic homogenization—the convergence of species composition across spatial scales and sites within the urban matrix.
