Analysis of Aphanomyces euteiches in Swedish Commercial Pea Field Soils and in Legume Cover Crops Using Droplet Digital PCR

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May‐June 2026.
Workflow for investigation of Aphanomyces euteiches occurrence in 24 field soil samples collected from different regions in Sweden using droplet digital PCR and bioassays with susceptible pea cv. Linnea. ABSTRACT Aphanomyces root rot (ARR), caused by Aphanomyces euteiches, is a major constraint in pea (Pisum sativum) production.

Insecticide‐level pest control provided by in‐field flower strips

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our findings indicate that in‐field flower strips or derived legume‐based intercropping systems can help reduce reliance on pesticide use in agriculture. Abstract Biodiversity in agricultural landscapes has declined significantly due to intensified farming practices, underscoring the need for sustainable pest management.

RNA‐Seq analysis revealed differentially expressed genes linked to seed size variation in sainfoin

open access: yesGrassland Science, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 123-133, April 2026.
Abstract Sainfoin is a perennial forage legume with many desirable characteristics such as easy to establish, bloat‐free trait for grazing ruminants and providing pollinator habitat and biological nitrogen fixation to soil. However, adoption of this species is often hindered by high seed cost associated with its larger seed size compared to other ...

Dual mutualistic associations in sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Agronomy at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Recent studies established that many legumes, when infected with the appropriate Rhizobium spp. and arbuscular fungi, nodulated better and exhibited greater dinitrogen fixation than plants infected with only the rhizobia.

Soil Physical Health in Mixed Crop Rotations: Roles of Grassland Proportion, Cattle Manure and Grass‐Mixture Diversity

open access: yesSoil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
ABSTRACT Integrating grasslands into cropping systems has benefits for nutrient cycling and weed control. Beyond that, grasslands are also recognized for their ability to improve soil organic carbon (SOC) and structural stability (SS). This study examined how grassland proportion, fertilization and grassland mixture, both during the grassland phase and

Structural features of condensed tannins affect in vitro ruminal methane production and fermentation characteristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
An in vitro study was conducted to investigate the effects of condensed tannins (CT) structural properties, i.e. average polymer size (or mean degree of polymerization); percentage of cis flavan-3-ols and percentage of prodelphinidins in CT extracts on ...

An online survey of farmers' perspectives on the adoption of multispecies swards: Barriers, benefits and knowledge gaps

open access: yesGrassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 376-388, December 2025.
An Irish farmer survey found that multispecies swards can reduce fertiliser use and enhance drought resilience and biodiversity. While awareness is high, adoption is limited by challenges like weed control and grazing management. Farmers want clearer guidance and prefer learning through hands‐on events like open days and discussion groups.
