Advancing Sclerotinia risk forecasting for winter rapeseed in Germany: integrating crop phenology and disease development into a decision support system

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Integrating crop phenology and sclerotia germination models into SkleroPro improved Sclerotinia risk prediction accuracy from 34% to 66%, optimizing fungicide timing and supporting sustainable winter rapeseed production. Abstract BACKGROUND Sclerotinia stem rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, threatens winter rapeseed (Brassica napus) production ...

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

Synergistic effect of biochar and livestock manure on soil hydro-physical properties under field conditions in Rwanda

Discover Sustainability
Biochar (B) in combination with organic manure could improve the biochar efficacity in improving soil functions related to hydrophysical properties. Short-term field experiments were conducted with three levels of B and livestock manure (LM) (0, 1, and 3

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.

Nature‐Positive Materials Engineering: Carbon Electrodes from Satoyama Biomass

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Nature‐positive materials engineering can link satoyama forest stewardship with the design of carbon electrodes for batteries, supercapacitors, and electrocatalysis. By turning underused firewood and charcoal resources into functional carbons, this approach reduces mining footprints while supporting biodiversity, landscape resilience, and regional ...

Targeted Trade Policy Instruments and Climate Change Mitigation: The Case of Environmental Provisions in Trade Agreements

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the effect of including environmental provisions (EPs) in preferential trade agreements (PTAs) on climate change mitigation and explores whether these effects vary based on the heterogeneity of the EPs. Our analysis combines country‐level data on climate change mitigation with details on 300 types of EPs in 775 trade ...
