Onto greener pastures with rotational grazing of cover crops: Lessons learned from four on‐farm case studies

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
Cover crops are touted for improving soil health, reducing nutrient losses to ground and surface waters, and providing soil protection between cash‐crop growing seasons.

The Regulatory Role of Biochar in the Fate of Potassium Fertilizer and Potassium Uptake in Soybean Grown in Diverse Soils

Agronomy
Biochar is known to enhance soil potassium (K) availability and promote plant K uptake; however, its influence on the transformation pathways of fertilizer potassium and the mechanisms regulating crop potassium accumulation remains insufficiently ...

3D Printed Omniphobic Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces for Low Surface Tension Repellency

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A 3D printing strategy fabricates omniphobic slippery liquid‐infused porous structures with lubricant reservoirs and interconnected microchannels. A post‐printing surface treatment modifies the porous surface to ensure compatibility with the infused fluorinated lubricant.

Nutrient-induced acidification is associated with reduced dissolved organic matter transformation potential in green manure-amended paddy soils

Resources, Environment and Sustainability
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a crucial role in soil carbon sequestration, yet the molecular mechanisms by which nutrient enrichment influences DOM transformation remain poorly understood.

Improvement in soil water availability in pastures by excavating and mixing buried soil horizons from multilayered Pumice Soils (Vitrands) at Galatea, central North Island, New Zealand

, 2014
Pumice Soils (Typic Udivitrands) in the Galatea Basin in the eastern Bay of Plenty, central North Island, New Zealand, are formed on weakly weathered, coarse textured, glassy, pumice tephra deposits and associated buried soil horizons.

Agar‐Based Optical Sensing System With a Phosphorescent Grid Pattern for Measuring Stress Distributions of Root Growth Using the Sampling Moiré Method

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper presents an agar medium with a phosphorescent grid pattern that measures the stress distribution generated by growing plant roots. Using phosphorescence, the system optically separates the grid pattern from the root and extracts the grid deformation.

Biochar and Trichoderma viride co-application boosts industrial soybean performance under continuous cropping stress via rhizosphere metabolic reprogramming

Industrial Crops and Products
Continuous monoculture of soybean, a key industrial crop for bio-based products, faces severe yield and quality declines due to soil degradation and microbial dysbiosis. Here, we investigated whether biochar and Trichoderma viride co-application (BT) can
