Ban Glyphosate—Does It Affect the Swedish Farmers' Willingness to Grow Cover Crops?

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 1035-1047, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The cultivation of cover crops is one of the new Eco‐scheme practices introduced in Sweden. This study examines how the design of policy attributes of these schemes influences farmers' willingness to grow cover crops on arable land, with particular focus on the potential impact of a glyphosate ban.

Coping With Production Risk: Effects of Sown Plant Diversity on the Attractiveness of Crop Insurance in Grasslands

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 1119-1134, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Increased frequency of extreme weather events, particularly droughts, threatens grassland farming by destabilizing yields and farms' economic viability. We examine, theoretically and through numerical simulations, how sown plant diversity (natural insurance) influences the attractiveness of indemnity and drought index insurance (formal ...

Stability analysis and yield potential of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) genotypes in Western Ethiopia

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is a significant oil crop that can be cultivated in various regions worldwide. Multi‐environmental yield trials can be used to identify superior genotypes across different locations. Thus, the objectives of the study are to identify superior sunflower genotypes that are stable, highly productive, and disease ...

Cover crop and termination date effects on wheat forage biomass, nutrient content, and profitability

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Cover crops are being encouraged due to benefits to soil health and ecosystem services, but they could negatively affect subsequent forage production and system profitability in regions with limited water availability. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of cover crop treatment and termination date on wheat (Triticum ...

Climate‐smart Naga chili (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) cultivation: Adapting fertilizer and irrigation practices for changing climate

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Limited winter rainfall and rising irrigation costs threaten sustainable Naga chili (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) production in Bangladesh. However, the combined effects of crop‐specific irrigation and soil‐test‐based fertilization on Naga chili productivity and resource‐use efficiency remain poorly understood.
