Biochar‐Based Fertilizer Is Cost‐Effective, Reduces Nutrient Input and Improves Nutrient Use Efficiency Without Decreasing Yield

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
Co‐applying half‐rate BMC layer: (i) Reduced nutrient inputs and (ii) produced similar yield. ABSTRACT Developing high‐efficiency fertilizers with less environmental footprint is essential for sustainable cropping systems. This study evaluated a biochar mineral complex (BMC) to reduce nutrient leaching and increase nutrient use efficiency (NUE), yield,

Comparative Phytochemical Profiles of Medicinal Plants Used for Wound Treatment: Insights From Wild and Hydroponically Cultivated Species in Lugazi Diocese, Uganda

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Medicinal plants such as Centella asiatica, Conyza sumatrensis, and Justicia betonica are widely used in Uganda for traditional wound healing. However, the impact of cultivation conditions on their therapeutic potential remains poorly understood.

Enzymatic activity of anthropogenic proto-organic soils in soilless farming [PDF]

, 2017
In soilless agriculture and horticulture coir is the more used substratum to grow plants because it is widely available and more environmentally friendly than sphagnum or peat.

Integrated Aquaponic Co‐Culture of Nile Tilapia and African Catfish: Effects on Plant Yield, Fish Growth, Nutrient Profile, and Heavy Metal Accumulation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
An integrated aquaponic co‐culture system combining Nile tilapia and African catfish with eggplant was evaluated. Tilapia growth was consistent across treatments, while a slight reduction in catfish performance occurred with lower stocking density. Plant yield and nutrient profiles of fish showed no significant differences among treatments.

Assessing the viability of hydroponics for low‐income farmers in South Africa's urban agriculture sector: An urban political ecology perspective

Urban Agriculture &Regional Food Systems, Volume 11, Issue 1, 2026.
Abstract Urban agriculture in densely populated areas is significantly constrained by space, leading to interest in vertical farming solutions like hydroponics. This study evaluates hydroponics’ viability in Cape Town's low‐income urban areas as a useful supplement to most research, which focuses on cities in the Global North.

Epidemiological Insights Into Water and Soil‐Mediated Transmission of Tomato Mottle Mosaic Virus

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Water and growing substrate can serve as reservoirs for tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV) inoculum. ToMMV can survive in water for up to 27 weeks. ToMMV infects bait plants through roots within 5–17 weeks, depending on the severity of root damage. A rapid, field‐deployable RPA test—requiring no RNA extraction—offers sensitivity comparable to RT‐qPCR ...

L‐Glutamine Modulates Root Architecture and Hormonal Balance in Arabidopsis

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen (N) availability is a key determinant of plant growth and development. Here, we investigate how different N sources shape Arabidopsis thaliana root system architecture, metabolism and hormone dynamics. L‐glutamine (L‐GLN) significantly enhances root biomass compared to nitrate (KNO3) without compromising shoot growth.
