Abstract Index insurance lowers agricultural risk but covers only covariate risks. Since farmers do not have complete insurance, they may develop mistrust of insurance when experiencing crop losses and not receiving payouts. Although recent innovations in remote sensing enable the provision of more complete insurance including coverage for ...

In a mature Scots pine forest (Pfynwald, Switzerland), canopy vapor pressure deficit (VPD)a was reduced with a misting system (a) and combined with a throughfall‐exclusion roof that imposed soil drought (b). Under the roofs (c), trees at ambient VPD closed their stomata steeply as predawn water potential (ΨPD) fell, reaching closure around −1.2 MPa ...

Rhizobacterial Modulation of Maize Defense Alters Herbivore Performance and Parasitoid Behavior
ABSTRACT The association between plants and beneficial soil microorganisms can profoundly influence aboveground trophic interactions, yet these effects are often context‐dependent. Although plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are increasingly used in maize production, little is known about how these microorganisms affect maize defenses against ...

ABSTRACT The plant root tip is highly sensitive to environmental cues and exerts sensory, chemical and movement responses. However, the microbial diversification at the root tip, and the nature of root‐selection for microbes, are poorly understood. This study investigated root exudation and microbiome colonisation in the chickpea (Cicer arietinum L ...
