Alternative Cropping Systems and Practices Tend to Improve Sustainability From a Multi‐Criteria Assessment Framework. A Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alternative cropping systems and practices (ACSPs) are increasingly promoted as strategies to enhance sustainability across environmental, economic, and social dimensions. Consequently, evaluating the performance of ACSPs is necessary to determine whether they effectively contribute to sustainability across these multiple dimensions.

Bidirectional Plant‐Microneedle Responses to Guide Biomaterial Design

Small, EarlyView.
We examine bidirectional interactions between plants and polymeric microneedles to develop effective compound delivery strategies. Material chemistry and architecture determine stability in the plant environment, cargo–matrix interactions, and the magnitude and duration of the plant response. Plant microneedles should therefore be designed as a coupled

Antimicrobial Residues in a Key Cerrado River: Distribution, Persistence, and Effects on Zebrafish Embryo‐Larval Development

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The current study aimed to quantify the antimicrobials amoxicillin (AMX), cefazolin (CFZ), chloramphenicol (CHL), metronidazole (MTZ), and sulfamethoxazole (SX) in effluents and surface water of an important Cerrado river, calculate their half‐lives, and analyze their ecotoxicity following single and combined exposures.

Economic Analysis of Infrastructure Investment and Break‐Even Carbon Prices for Low‐Water, Low‐Emission Farming Techniques in Vietnam

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excessive water use in rice production is a major source of methane emissions, the dominant greenhouse gas from Vietnam's agricultural sector. Improving water‐use efficiency can enhance water security and reduce emissions, but achieving these gains requires substantial changes in farming practices and significant investment in supporting ...

Reflections on Adoption of New Agricultural Practices

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on adoption of new practices, technologies and systems in agriculture has generated thousands of publications over the past 70 years, covering uptake of agricultural practices spanning more than 100 years. This paper contains selected key lessons from the results of this enormous research effort, drawn from numerous reviews of the ...

Efficient Nitrogen Management for Reducing Weed Population and Improving Productivity of Boro Rice

Fundamental and Applied Agriculture
Among many causes of weed growth and rice's low yield, improper nitrogen management are thought to be an important issue. An experiment was conducted from December 2021 to June 2022 at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural ...

Conflict and Agricultural Performance: Evidence From Myanmar

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the February 2021 military coup, armed conflict in Myanmar surged by more than 2000%. Against this backdrop, this study contributes to the literature by investigating how the association between conflict and agricultural performance varies by cropping period—planting, mid‐season or harvest—during two subsequent 2021 and 2022 monsoon ...

Drivers of Mouse Plagues: Exceptional Rainfall Following Prolonged Drought Triggers Mouse Plagues in Southeastern Australia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...

Plant cis‐regulatory grammar: Decoding the multidimensional code of transcriptional regulation for programmable crop engineering

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review decodes the grammar of plant cis‐regulatory elements, revealing that their function emerges from sequence, chromatin accessibility, 3D topology, and cell type context. It highlights how single‐cell omics, CRISPR dissection, and AI‐driven design converge to enable predictive engineering and crop improvement. ABSTRACT Cis‐regulatory elements (
