Functionally complementary bacterial inoculant coordinates arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve Angelica sinensis root yield and quality

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Comprehensive understanding of how diverse PGPR strains enhance the rhizosphere microenvironment remains a considerable challenge. Here, we provide experimental evidence that a functionally synergistic composite microbial formulation can markedly enhance growth performance and improve the quality attributes in Angelica sinensis.

Smart Sensor‐Integrated Lysimeter System for Affordable on‐Farm Crop Water Monitoring and Irrigation Management

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate monitoring of crop water use is critical for precision irrigation, yet conventional lysimeter systems remain too costly and complex for widespread adoption. This study presents the development and field validation of a low‐cost, information and communication technology (ICT)‐enabled weighing lysimeter system that integrates load cells,
