How to produce more biomass for direct seeding mulched based cropping system in sub-saharian Africa ? Example in North Cameroun [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In North Cameroon, from 2001 to 2006, more than 250 farmers tried direct seeding mulchbased cropping systems (DMC) in their fields. DMC systems were based on farmer traditional rotation i.e. cereal//cotton.

Rapid ideal habitat selection in a homogeneous environment

open access: yesEcosphere, 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 ...

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

open access: yesPLANTS, 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

open access: yesPest 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

Organic Mulching Versus Soil Conventional Practices in Vineyards: A Comprehensive Study on Plant Physiology, Agronomic, and Grape Quality Effects

open access: yesAgronomy
Research into alternative vineyard practices is essential to maintain long-term viticulture sustainability. Organic mulching on the vine row improves vine cultivation properties, such as increasing soil water retention and nutrient availability.

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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Nitrogen management in organic cauliflower [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Consumers expect that the production of organic vegetables is less harmful to the environment compared to conventional vegetable cropping. However, vegetables with a high nitrogen demand such as cauliflower may cause intensive leaching of nitrate to ...
