Opening the black box: in situ imaging of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal structures in soil using synchrotron‐based micro‐CT

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) contribute to plant nutrient and water uptake via their extraradical hyphal networks. However, in situ methodologies to quantify architectural and morphological traits of these networks in soil are largely lacking, limiting our understanding of AMF‐mediated resource transport.

Comparative Quality of Garden Strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. cv. Albion) Produced in Soil and Soilless Sustainable Urban Systems

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Materials Modern agriculture faces the challenge of balancing high crop yields with sustainable resource management and nutritional quality. Here, soil and soilless systems (hydroponics and aquaponics) for cultivating the day‐neutral cultivar ‘Albion’ of the garden strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) were compared in terms of ...

Impact of Soilless Growing Media on Growth, Yield, Fruit Quality, and Root‐Knot Nematode Incidence of Cucumber Under Protected Cultivation

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soilless cultivation has emerged as an effective approach for improving cucumber productivity under protected cultivation by enhancing root‐zone conditions and minimizing soil‐borne constraints. However, the performance of different growing media combinations remains insufficiently understood.

Optimized Potting Media and Vertical Farming Enhance High‐Value Crop Productivity in Riverine Lands of Bangladesh

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Limited cultivable land and seasonal flooding constrain vegetable production in the riverine char lands of Bangladesh, highlighting the need for efficient and climate‐resilient production systems. This study evaluated optimized potting media for seedling production and the vertical cultivation of high‐value vegetables, particularly capsicum ...

The Effects of Bio‐Fertilizer Applications on Post‐Harvest Fruit Quality in Soilless‐Grown Tomatoes

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Microbial fertilization has been shown to have the potential to limit water loss. AG and AO treatments preserved shelf life by keeping the fruit flesh firmer compared to the control. Microbial fertilization preserved the physical structure of tomatoes during cold storage.

Does the Application Flow Rate of Nutrient Solutions Prepared in Brackish Water Affect Coriander Production?

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 3, Page 1002-1014, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Flow rates for applying nutrient solutions in hydroponic systems are empirically known, yet uncertainties remain regarding whether brackish water affects the optimal flow rate and, consequently, biomass production and allocation. This study evaluated whether variations in application flow rate affect coriander biomass when brackish water is ...
