Initial insights into sunn hemp–corn intercropping for forage production and nitrogen reduction
Abstract Corn (Zea mays) is a globally important crop to produce grain and silage for livestock systems. However, corn generally requires high levels of nitrogen (N) fertilizer. Introducing sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.; SH), an annual legume, is a potential option for reducing N inputs.

Abstract Integrating legumes into turfgrass systems can reduce nitrogen fertilizer needs in urban landscapes through biological nitrogen fixation while enhancing plant biodiversity in urban lawns. However, the persistence and water requirements of these associations have not been evaluated in warm‐season lawns.

Persistence of pendimethalin residues in Swiss chard [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine the persistence of pendimethalin and its impact on Swiss chard, as the succeeding crop in the crop rotation, using the bioassay method, by means of the morphological parameters measurement. In applying the tested concentrations of pendimethalin from 0.2475 to 3.96 ppm, the inhibition of certain measured parameters

Abstract Grasslands are important terrestrial ecosystems that provide feed for livestock, support soil conservation and nutrient cycling, and store soil carbon (C). In many grazed grasslands, restricted nitrogen (N) inputs from fertilizers and minimal legume presence may constrain belowground biomass accumulation and soil C storage because of limited N.

Pesticide Contamination in the Hair of Children From Colonia San Juan, a Rural Community in Paraguay
Hair analysis in children from a rural community in Paraguay reveals exposure to organophosphates, pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, fungicides, herbicides, and endocrine disruptors, highlighting the urgent need for stricter environmental protections and preventive health measures. ABSTRACT Chronic exposure to pesticides can cause carcinogenic, reproductive,

Leafspot Disease Progression and Components of Resistance Among Selected Peanut Genotypes in Ghana
ABSTRACT Early and late leafspot diseases are major constraints in peanut production, causing up to 70% yield losses in combined occurrences. Phenotyping has focused mainly on disease incidence and severity with little attention on disease progression and component traits that determine overall resistance.

ABSTRACT The determination of pesticide residues in spices is analytically challenging due to their high content of essential oils and secondary metabolites that could interfere with detection and quantification. In this study, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), using green co‐solvents, was evaluated for the extraction of 44 pesticides from black ...
