Precision agriculture for water saving: The case of processing tomato and table grape

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agriculture faces increasing pressure to produce high‐quality food while reducing water use under intensifying climate change and water scarcity. This study compared sensor‐based precision irrigation, drone monitoring, and near‐infrared spectroscopy with conventional farmer management in table grape and processing tomato production systems.

Responsible agrivoltaics in temperate Europe: Making systems work for plants, people, and climate

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Conceptual framework illustrating the three conditions for responsible AV in temperate regions: sustained plant productivity across rotations, preservation of soil and hydrological integrity, and social license for landscape integration. Multi‐site European evidence highlights how design choices shape trade‐offs among these dimensions.

Crop landrace conservation, status, challenges and motivations in Great Britain

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Recent agricultural intensification has led to the widespread replacement of genetically diverse crop landraces with high‐yielding but genetically uniform modern cultivars, reducing the adaptive resilience of farming systems. In the United Kingdom, where large‐scale agriculture dominates, landraces require urgent conservation action.

RNA interference of the ecdysone receptor gene AgEcR in a wolfberry ‐ specialized strain of Aphis gossypii Glover affects its survival and fecundity and confers resistance in transgenic goji (Lycium barbarum L.)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
AgEcR, an ecdysone receptor from Aphis gossypii, is an RNA interference (RNAi) target. Artificial diet screening of five double ‐ stranded RNA fragments identified dsAgEcR2 targeting the D/E junction as the most potent. Transgenic goji expressing dsAgEcR2 caused molting defects and reduced fecundity, suppressing population growth and offering a ...

Effects of timed LED regimes on tomato plant traits, performance of two‐spotted spider mites, and predatory mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2025.
Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...
