Antagonistic effect of rhizospheric bacteria against white rot (Sclerotium cepivorum) of garlic (Allium sativum L.) under in vitro and in vivo conditions

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Garlic (Allium sativum), a vegetable crop used for food, medicine, and condiments, is affected by white rot (Sclerotium cepivorum). Garlic yield reduction is influenced by several factors, with biotic stresses, particularly fungal pathogens, being among the most significant.

Soil acidity stress: A faba bean (Vicia faba L.) cultivation challenge in Ethiopia, mitigation, and future perspectives

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil acidity is among the most important abiotic stresses globally constraining agricultural land and crop productivity. Globally, about 30%–40% of total arable land is under the influence of acidic soil. In Ethiopia, approximately 43% of arable land and productive areas are constrained by acidic soil.

Deep bed farming with maize–soybean intercropping improves maize yield and soil fertility in northern Malawi

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract In sub‐Saharan Africa smallholder farmers face challenges of declining soil fertility, erratic rainfall, low crop yields, and food insecurity. Deep bed farming (DBF), a conservation agriculture‐based approach promoted by Tiyeni in Malawi, shows potential to address these issues.

Initial insights into sunn hemp–corn intercropping for forage production and nitrogen reduction

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Corn (Zea mays) is a globally important crop to produce grain and silage for livestock systems. However, corn generally requires high levels of nitrogen (N) fertilizer. Introducing sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.; SH), an annual legume, is a potential option for reducing N inputs.

Temperature controls bryophyte‐associated nitrogen fixation in super‐humid temperate forests in New Zealand

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Nitrogen (N) fixation performed by certain prokaryotes (diazotrophs) is a key source of new N in pristine ecosystems. Diazotrophs associate with various plants, including bryophytes—the dominant plant group in northern ecosystems such as boreal forests. There, bryophyte‐associated N2 fixation contribute half of total ecosystem N input. However,

Bioactive Phytochemical Compounds in Medicago sativa L. (Alfalfa): A Systematic Review of Biological Properties and Therapeutic Relevance in Nutraceutical and Functional Food Implications

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa) harbors a remarkably diverse reservoir of bioactive secondary metabolites. Flavonoids, isoflavones, and triterpenoid saponins dominate its bioactivity landscape, driving potent antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, estrogenic, hypolipidemic, and cytotoxic actions through redox modulation, membrane ...

Soil beneficial bacteria: Harnessing tools for optimizing citrus growth and soil health in pH‐stressed soils

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Rhizosphere bacteria can support crop production by promoting plant health, soil fertility, and resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the potential role of soil‐beneficial bacteria, particularly plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), remains inadequately explored in citrus production grown on pH‐stressed soil.
