Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

Solar farms can mitigate negative impacts of whiplash weather on plant communities in a dryland ecosystem

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Utility‐scale solar energy (USSE) development generates novel questions regarding coupling clean energy production with terrestrial ecosystem services (e.g., forage production, pollinator support). We found that a USSE array sited in a fallowed cropland maintained a reseeded native plant community even a decade post‐restoration and that the array ...

Short‐term responses in weed spatial patterns during early adoption of conservation agriculture practices

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Weed spatial patterns and temporal stability were shaped by species life forms and the cropping systems implemented in the plots. Weed aggregation was more pronounced in conservation agriculture and among perennials. Patch stability was primarily governed by species life form and was stronger among perennials. Abstract BACKGROUND The aggregated spatial

Adverse effects of grapevine trunk diseases on canes produced from infected rootstock mother blocks

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
High incidences of GTD pathogens in rootstock mother vine heads, with Phaeomoniella chlamydospora and Diplodia seriata affecting cane physiology and quality. One‐year‐old canes harbor systemic inoculum, highlighting the need for careful monitoring and management.
