Managing soil acidity and carbon emission in crop systems

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Liming is essential for achieving high crop yields in tropical acidic soils, but lime dissolution releases CO2, whereas silicate slag does not, while gypsum improves subsoil fertility. Although the benefits of these amendments for soil fertility are well known, their combined effects on CO2 emissions and soil carbon (C) accumulation in ...

Increased abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in response to low phosphorus fertility may support crop yields under long‐term no‐till management

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract No‐till practices positively affect soil microorganisms that mobilize P, and thus the soil test phosphorus (STP) concentration needed to optimize crop yield may be reduced compared to current university recommendations. However, the effects of STP concentrations on soil microorganisms and their relation to crop yields are not sufficiently ...

Cover Crops Enhance Aboveground Biomass, Soil Biological Activity and Soil Organic Carbon in Tropical Agroecosystems

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 3, July‐September 2026.
ABSTRACT In tropical agroecosystems, soil organic carbon (SOC) accrual is constrained by rapid organic matter turnover and seasonal water limitation. Cover crops are widely used to improve soil C inputs, but their effects on SOC fractions and soil biological activity can vary according to species composition and management duration.

Effect of rotation of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) with fonio (Digitaria exilis) and millet (Pennisetum glaucum) on Macrophomina phaseolina densities and cowpea yield [PDF]

, 2008
Macrophomina phaseolina, the causal agent of charcoal rot, causes great damage to cowpea in the Sahel. One of the few options to manage the disease is by cropping nonhosts that may reduce the soil inoculum below a damage threshold level.

An energy‐based aggregate stability method is more management‐sensitive than commercial methods in coarse‐textured, subtropical orchard soils

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Aggregate stability impacts important soil functions, including carbon/water storage and soil structure. Macroaggregate stability tests, using rainfall simulation or wet sieving, are commonly used, but microaggregate stability tests may be more applicable to subtropical, coarse‐textured soils.

Feedstock Readiness Level (FSRL) evaluation: Pennisetum purpureum x glaucum (banagrass), Alcohol-to-Jet, Hawaii, June 2018

, 2018
Feedstock readiness level evaluations are performed for a specific feedstock-conversion process combination and for a particular region. FSRL evaluations complement evaluations of Fuel Readiness Level (FRL) and environmental progress.

Extrafloral nectaries on Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Pearl millet, Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone (formerly Pennisetum glaucum L.), used for food and feed, has pollen that attracts multiple insect species. In 2023, honey bees and wasps were observed foraging on or below the auricles of pearl millet in a Georgia field.

Genomic DNA extraction method from pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) leaves [PDF]

, 2005
DNA extraction is difficult in a variety of plants because of the presence of metabolites that interfere with DNA isolation procedures and downstream applications such as DNA restriction, amplification, and cloning.

Influence of Pottasium and Plant Growth Regulators on Growth and Yield of Pearlmillet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.)

, 2023
Background: Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) is a significant food and livestock crop in the semi-arid tropics. Pearl millet is a crucial part of the nation\u27s food security because of its capacity to thrive in drier and less fertile regions ...

Resistance to Striga hermonthica in Wild Accessions of the Primary Gene Pool of Pennisetum glaucum [PDF]

, 2000
Resistance to Striga hermonthica in 274 wild Pennisetum glaucum subsp. monodii and stenostachyum accessions was evaluated at Samanko, Mali in 1997 and 1998, and at Cinzana, Mali and Sadoré, Niger in 1998.
