Breeding 5.0: Artificial intelligence (AI)‐decoded germplasm for accelerated crop innovation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop breeding technologies are vital for global food security. While traditional methods have improved yield, stress tolerance, and nutrition, rising challenges such as climate instability, land loss, and pest pressure now demand new solutions.

Embedded Pesticide Use: Exploring the Pesticide‐Land Nexus

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the turn of the century, global land grabs, farmland financialization and land‐based food sovereignty movements have returned the land question to the heart of agrarian studies. Meanwhile, abiding interest in pesticides has been reanimated in the face of changes in production, regulation and knowledge of toxicity.

The Role of Peat-Free Organic Substrates in the Sustainable Management of Soilless Cultivations

Agronomy, 2021
Vegetable and ornamental crops require high input demand to adequately support their standard commercial quality and yield. For these crops, a very high level of agronomic use efficiency of many productive factors can be achieved in soilless culture. For

IDENTIFICATION FOR ION-BASED FERTIGATION CONTROL IN SOILLESS GREENHOUSE CULTIVATION [PDF]

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2005
Progress in instrumentation and the need for quality control stimulate the rethinking of irrigation and fertilisation (fertigation) of crops in greenhouses. Feedback control using ion specific electrodes in the drain offers opportunities for automatic demand satisfaction.

Effect of Vapor Pressure Deficit on Nutrient Uptake and Growth of Four Tomato Varieties Grown Hydroponically at Low Nutrient Concentrations

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 2, Page 202-215, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Marginal water sources, such as wastewater, have been proposed as the basis for hydroponic nutrient solutions to improve the resource efficiency of greenhouse‐based tomato production. Such water sources are often low in plant‐available nutrient concentrations, and uptake and use efficiency of these nutrients may vary widely among ...

Effect of Biochar and Wood Distillate on Vegeto-Productive Performances of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Plants, var. Solarino, Grown in Soilless Conditions

Agronomy
Nowadays, tomato, a commercially important crop, is increasingly cultivated in a soilless cultivation system to counteract climate change. Normally, this system uses cocopeat as a substrate, but its high cost and environmental impact have led to growing ...
