Evaluation of sunn hemp performance and nutritive value in Maine, USA

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L. and Crotalaria ochroleuca G. Don) was evaluated as a warm‐season legume to mitigate the “summer slump” in Maine's forage production caused by heat and moisture deficit stress. Methods This study compared three cultivars: “Crescent Sunn,” “Loei,” and “Red Mini,” at 60 and 90 days after seeding over the

Floral Color and Family Drive Contrasting Plant–Pollinator Responses to Nutrient Enrichment

Ecology and Evolution
Nutrient enrichment has decreased the diversity and abundance of wildflower species, raising questions about whether nutrient enrichment can further decrease the diversity and abundance of pollinators that rely on wildflowers.

Navigating the future of nano‐pesticides: A perspective on design, efficacy, mechanisms, and environmental stewardship

iMeta, EarlyView.
Nano‐pesticides are driving a paradigm shift toward sustainable plant protection. This review systematically synthesizes recent advances across four interconnected domains: (i) intelligent formulation design for targeted delivery and controlled release; (ii) interfacial behavior regulation to enhance foliar deposition; (iii) multi‐omics elucidation of ...

Untangling biodiversity interactions: A meta network on pollination in Earth's most diverse tropical savanna

Ecology and Evolution
Pollination is vital for ecosystem functioning, especially in biodiversity‐rich regions like the Brazilian Cerrado. Our research establishes a comprehensive meta network of pollinator–plant interactions within this biome.

Floral richness shapes plant-pollinator networks in urban agroecosystems

Basic and Applied Ecology
Species richness, a fundamental driver of agroecosystem function, is shaped by habitat management and landscape surroundings. Yet, delivery of ecosystem services, like pollination, in agroecosystems is dependent on ecological interactions, not just ...

Integrated characterization of Greek fennel genotypes through morpho‐agronomical characteristics, yield components and phytochemical compounds

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 91-103, March 2025.
Abstract Background Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is a widely cultivated vegetable and aromatic‐medicinal plant. In this research, field studies assessed 12 fennel genotypes of diverse origin, comprising 10 Greek accessions and two European commercial varieties, focusing on their morpho‐agronomical traits, phenolic compounds and antioxidant ...

Phenotypic, physicochemical, sensory, and functional attributes of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) from Brazilian Amazonian floodplain and upland ecosystems

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) from the Brazilian Amazon plays an important role in national production. While most cocoa is cultivated in upland systems, floodplain ecosystems represent a traditional and distinct production environment that may influence bean composition and quality.

Application of Principal Component Analysis and Probabilistic Neural Networks in Ferralsols Recovery Evaluation Through Planting of Mabea Fistulifera and Eucalyptus Urograndis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents an innovative assessment model for analyzing the evolution of degraded soils subjected to different reclamation strategies. The proposal combines statistical and artificial intelligence tools to jointly integrate multiple physical and chemical soil properties, allowing for a more synthetic view of the processes.
