Homecoming of Brachiaria: improved hybrids prove useful for African animal agriculture [PDF]
Species of the genus Brachiaria originate primarily from Africa, where they are constituents of natural grasslands. Due to their adaptation to acidic, low-fertility soils, millions of hectares of Brachiaria species have been sown as improved pastures in ...

Benzamides boost crop resilience by inhibiting poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP) to enhance stress tolerance and, through their antimicrobial, herbicidal, and insecticidal derivatives, they offer broad protection for sustainable crop improvement. Abstract Benzamides have emerged as potent stress inhibitors and growth promoters in plant biotechnology ...

Non-inversion tillage in organic arable cropping [PDF]
The opportunities for using an non-inversion tillage (NI) approach in organic systems has not been well investigated by research and what research has been done has not perhaps been sufficiently long-term.

The biodiversity of the fungi parasiting weeds in Serbia [PDF]
The composition of fugal species parasiting weeds in Serbia was studied in the period 1985-2006., with special reference to the possibility of their use in biological control. A total of 96 species of fungi from 36 genera on 46 weed species. During the vegetation season on weeds with symptoms of downy mildew, rust, smut, leaf spotting, withering and ...

Abstract Introduction Forest restoration can be achieved by promoting natural regeneration or planting tree seedlings, but the relative benefits of these widely used approaches are questioned. Soil communities may influence restoration outcomes but are usually ignored by monitoring schemes.

The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Peanut response following soybean grown full‐season or double‐cropped after wheat in North Carolina
Abstract Including soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in the previous cropping cycle can adversely affect peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) yield by increasing disease incidence and populations of plant‐parasitic nematodes in the soil. The impact of double‐cropping wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and soybean versus full‐season soybean (referred to as the soybean

Ecological Impacts of Chemical Fumigants on Nematode Community Composition
Chemical fumigants impact nematode diversity, community composition and nematode‐based indices. ABSTRACT Soil fumigation is widely used to control targeted plant‐parasitic nematodes in agricultural systems, but how they affect nematode communities and nematode‐based indices (NBIs) has remained underexplored.

Amendment of Potting Soil With Black Soldier Fly Byproducts Affects Fungus Gnat Development
The study's three experiments were conducted in accordance with the development stages of fungus gnats, with adults emerging from the four treatment substrates and being caught on sticky cards as a common indicator. The treatments were formed from peat‐free potting soil, either pure or supplemented with combinations of byproducts from black soldier fly
