Soil beneficial bacteria: Harnessing tools for optimizing citrus growth and soil health in pH‐stressed soils

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Rhizosphere bacteria can support crop production by promoting plant health, soil fertility, and resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the potential role of soil‐beneficial bacteria, particularly plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), remains inadequately explored in citrus production grown on pH‐stressed soil.

Intercropping Chickpea with Flax in Saskatchewan, Canada, Reduces Ascochyta Blight

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Chickpea is a nutritious crop grown in drier parts of Saskatchewan. The disease Ascochyta blight, caused by Ascochyta rabiei, makes production risky. Small plot trials at four Saskatchewan locations from 2018 to 2022 aimed to test the hypothesis that intercropping chickpea with flax reduces Ascochyta blight.
