Recycling waste via insect agriculture: Frass impacts on soil and plant health

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Frass—the main by‐product of insect rearing for animal feed—is emerging as a promising soil amendment and plant growth promoter. However, basic agronomic information is lacking and prevents frass’ widespread use as a biofertilizer. This study assessed impacts of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.

Efficient but Elusive Rhizobia Fix Nitrogen in the Wild Legumes Bituminaria bituminosa and Coronilla Viminalis

open access: yesJournal of Basic Microbiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In ecological restoration of degraded natural habitats, revegetation with wild native plants is a priority. Legumes play a key role in this process through nitrogen (N)‐fixing symbiosis with rhizobia, obtaining N for their growth and improving soil fertility, which benefits other nonleguminous plants in the environment. This study explores the

Interstratified Illite‐Hydroxy‐Interlayered Smectite—A Disorder Structure Model for Quantification Using Rietveld Refinement

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The acidic weathering of soils is known as a problem for decades. It leads to the deterioration of essential soil properties, including soil fertility, water, or cation buffering capacity due to solution and solid storage of Al3+ by polymerization in the interlayer of (former) swellable clay minerals.

Borax Promotes Fertility of Brassica napus Better Than Other Boron Species at Suboptimal Supply

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Continuous and sufficient boron (B) supply is essential for achieving maximum yield in Brassica napus. Increasing incidences of environmental water limitation are linked to reduced plant B availability and increased B deficiencies.
