Biochar Mitigates Arsenic Phytotoxicity and Improves Crop Performance in Iron‐Rich Tropical Soils

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The contamination of tropical soils by the highly toxic metalloid, arsenic (As), is a pervasive issue, resulting in declining crop performance due to phytotoxicity. Biochars are gaining popularity as sorbents for contaminants, yet their capacity to ameliorate As phytotoxicity in diverse tropical soil types remains underexplored.

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

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 2973-2988, April 2026.
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.

Potential of different composts to improve soil fertility [PDF]

, 2006
Composts can influence soil fertility and plant health. These influences can be positive or negative, depending of the quality of the composts. Some practitioners already make use of the positive effects on plant health. For example, they use composts to

Reducing russeting of organically grown Elstar to increase quality [PDF]

, 2008
Sales organisations indicated that opportunities for organic apples sales can increase when quality increases, in particular reducing the amount of russeting. The use of copper is probably the most important factor for russeting.

Diversity and Plant Growth‐Promoting Potential of Duckweed‐Associated Bacteria on Wolffia globosa Biomass Production and Nutritional Quality

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Co‐cultivation screening of 116 duckweed‐associated bacteria revealed isolates that enhanced Wolffia globosa biomass up to 77.75%, with Pseudomonas toyotomiensis W5–11 increasing dry weight 3.18‐fold and chlorophyll content 2.75‐fold, demonstrating their potential as biofertilisers for sustainable duckweed production.

Comparative Analysis of Lavandula Dentata Rhizosphere Microbiota Across Different Developmental Stages in a Semi‐Arid Area

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study aims to give deeper insight into the relationship between the dynamics of the rhizospheric microbiota and the developmental stages of L. dentata growing spontaneously in a semi‐arid environment. To achieve this objective, we examined and monitored the biomass (using phospholipid fatty acid, PLFA analysis), diversity and network complexity of

Quiescence of postharvest pathogens: a fungal inhibition process or an immune response of the unripe host fruit?

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 812-821, April 2026.
Summary Postharvest pathogens can infect fresh produce both before and after harvest, by direct or wound‐enhanced penetration, remaining quiescent until ripening. Biotrophic‐like postharvest pathogens persist beneath host cells and can remain in a state of quiescence.

Parasitic Plant–Host Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms and Agricultural Resistance Strategies

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
Parasitic plants devastate global agriculture through sophisticated molecular interactions with host crops. This review synthesizes current understanding of parasitic plant‐host interactions, from strigolactone‐mediated germination and haustorium formation to host defense mechanisms.
