Sclerotinia sclerotiorum: a dual‐purpose biological control agent for weed and disease management in pastures and cereal crops

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A hypervirulent, endophytic, non‐sclerotial strain of the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum has enormous potential as a dual‐purpose bioherbicide/plant vaccine that is biosafe for use in pastures and cereal crops. Abstract The cosmopolitan phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary infects many dicotyledonous species, including major ...

Addressing Water Scarcity in Agriculture: A Bibliometric Analysis of Hydrogel‐Based Strategies for Drought Resilience and Sustainable Water Management

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought poses a significant threat to agricultural systems worldwide, exacerbating challenges to food security and sustainability. Hydrogels, superabsorbent polymers that can retain substantial amounts of water, have emerged as a promising solution to mitigate the adverse effects of drought. In this integrated bibliometric and narrative review,

Developing Pedotransfer Functions for Estimating Field Capacity and Permanent Wilting Point Using Fuzzy Table Look-up Scheme

Computer and Information Science, 2011
Study of soil properties like field capacity (F.C) and permanent wilting point (P.W.P) plays important roles in study of soil moisture retention curve. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) provide an alternative by estimating soil parameters from more readily available soil data.

Subsidence inversions – the surface water vapour thief

Weather, EarlyView.
A deep anticyclonic subsidence inversion reached near‐surface levels over southern England on 25 April 2026, resulting in relative humidity levels falling below 15% widely and sub‐10% in the Reading and Wokingham area. Such low levels in lowland England have very few historical precedents within the last century or more.
