ABSTRACT The combination of polyploidy, apomixis and the formation of aneuploid and interploid hybrids makes the genus Urochloa an interesting system for investigating meiotic stability and genome behaviour in grasses. In this study, routine meiotic analysis and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) were used to (i) evaluate meiosis in three hybrids of ...

Effects of irrigated cover crop cultivation period on common bean and soybean yield
Abstract Cover crop inclusion is essential for improving soil management in tropical no till systems; however, the optimal duration of irrigated off‐season cultivation remains uncertain. This 3‐year field study evaluated nine cover crop species or mixtures and four cultivation periods (60, 75, 90, and 105 days) on biomass production, soil chemical ...

Impact of simulated drought and cover crop mixtures on subsequent spring wheat yield
Abstract Cover crops (CCs) are promoted as a mechanism for reducing soil erosion, enhancing soil fertility, and improving diversity in agricultural systems, but in drier climates, there are concerns about their impact on soil water availability for the subsequent crop.

Weed suppression and early sugar beet development under different cover crop mulches
Field experiments were conducted at two locations in 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 to investigate the weed suppressive ability of cover crop mulches in sugar beets. Three cover crops and two cover crop mixtures were tested in all four experiments.

Nondestructive analysis of photosynthetic pigments in forage radish and vetch
Chlorophylls and carotenoids are the main photosynthetic pigments in plants, and photosynthetic potential can be used to determine the nitrogen fixation or cycling capacity of cover crops.

Characterizing How Community‐Level Plant Functional Traits Impact Soil Microbial Diversity
ABSTRACT Introduction Functional trait‐based approaches have been suggested for designing functionally diverse plant communities to influence soil microbial community structure and diversity. However, it remains unclear how species‐level plant functional traits (PFTs) and microbial associations translate to community‐level functional trait and soil ...

Abstract BACKGROUND Water scarcity and soil salinization are major constraints to irrigated agriculture in semi‐arid regions, affecting crop productivity and fruit quality. Combining deficit irrigation with biostimulant application has emerged as a promising strategy to improve water use efficiency and plant stress tolerance.
