Genetic Variation in Yield and Fruit Weight Among Strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) Cultivars and the Interaction With Year and Location Effect

Plant Breeding, Volume 144, Issue 2, Page 263-272, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) is an important crop in the United States. In this study, we analysed strawberry trials established across 7 years and two locations. Our objective was to estimate genetic parameters and predict breeding values for yield.

Evaluating precision sprayers for targeted weed management in corn and soybean

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract A targeted application of herbicides in commercial crop fields is desirable for reducing chemical inputs and promoting environmental sustainability. Precision sprayers, equipped with cameras and sensors, detect weeds in real‐time and apply herbicides only where needed.

Protozoan and Helminth Contamination in Ecuadorian Agricultural Products: Dominance of Blastocystis sp.

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Foodborne diseases, particularly those caused by parasitic infections, pose significant public health challenges globally, particularly affecting vulnerable populations such as children. In this study, we investigated the parasitic contamination in 773 samples of fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens from Ecuador’s Chimborazo Province. Utilizing a cross‐

Effects of Living Mulch and Fertilizer on the Performance of Broccoli in Plasticulture [PDF]

HortScience, 2015
Living mulch systems allow cover crops to be grown during periods of cash crop production, thereby extending the duration of cover crop growth and associated beneficial agroecosystem services. However, living mulches may also result in agroecosystem disservices such as reduced cash crop yields if the living mulch competes with the ...

Effects of polyester microplastics and naproxen on lettuce growth and development and soil abiotic factors

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 7, Issue 4, December 2024.
Abstract Microplastics (MPs), formed from the physical breakdown of larger plastics, have been found across a variety of ecosystems. Much research has been done on the effects of MPs in aquatic ecosystems, but fewer studies have explored their effects in terrestrial environments, particularly in agroecosystems where modern practices contribute strongly

Plastic mulch productivity-sustainability tradeoffs and pathways toward an eco-friendly framework: insights from a global meta-analysis

Nature Communications
Meeting global food demands by 2050 requires a 45–60% increase in agricultural production. Plasticulture has emerged as a pivotal yet controversial solution.

Purple nutsedge management in tomato plasticulture: A study on the effectiveness of preemergence herbicide S‐metolachlor and its co‐application with fertilizer enhancer and chelated iron

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 7, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract Purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.) poses a significant challenge to Florida tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) producers due to its ability to puncture plastic mulch, resilient tubers, and rapid rhizome proliferation. Preemergence herbicides effectively suppress purple nutsedge in tomatoes under plastic mulch.
