Integration of Biochar and Rainwater Harvesting to Improve Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) in Semi‐Arid Regions of Zimbabwe

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Crop production has been declining in semi‐arid areas over the past two decades due to several biophysical constraints, including soil infertility and water stress induced by low rainfall. The objective of the experiment was to evaluate the effects of biochar and rainwater harvesting techniques on soil moisture content, bulk ...

Soil chemical properties and crop yields response to dryland diversified crop rotations

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Diversified crop rotations can affect soil water and nutrient uptake and produce variable quality and quantity of crop residue that may alter soil chemical properties and crop yields compared to monocropping. We examined the effects of dryland diversified crop rotations with or without cover crop on soil pH, organic matter (SOM), P, and K ...

Meiosis in elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum), pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) (Poaceae, Poales) and their interspecific hybrids [PDF]

, 2006
The cultivated and sexually compatible species Pennisetum purpureum (elephant grass, 2n = 4x = 28) and Pennisetum glaucum (pearl millet, 2n = 2x = 14) can undergo hybridization which favors the amplification of their genetic background and the ...

Soil physical attributes in agrosilvopastoral systems 6 years after thinning of eucalyptus

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract The effects of tree thinning on soil physical quality in agrosilvopastoral and silvopastoral systems are unclear. To address this gap, this study evaluated the effects of eucalyptus thinning on soil physical attributes by depth and distance from the tree line in two cropping systems (agrosilvopastoral and silvopastoral) in Brazil.

Effects of Commercial and Locally Formulated Diets on Growth Performance of Juvenile Oreochromis andersonii in a Hatchery System

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In Namibia, the aquaculture sector faces significant challenges, mainly due to the high cost of imported commercial feed, which limits small‐scale farmers' productivity and food security. To address this, locally formulated feeds must be evaluated as sustainable alternatives.

Reconfiguring biofortification strategies to transform food systems and address micronutrient deficiency of the 21st century

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2511-2547, August 2026.
This review explores how to make staple foods and horticultural crops more nutritious, including how artificial intelligence‐based screening of gene banks helps deploy nutritionally rich germplasm into breeding. Genome editing can help develop crops richer in minerals, vitamins, and health‐promoting compounds, supporting healthier diets and more ...
