Smart Sensor‐Integrated Lysimeter System for Affordable on‐Farm Crop Water Monitoring and Irrigation Management

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate monitoring of crop water use is critical for precision irrigation, yet conventional lysimeter systems remain too costly and complex for widespread adoption. This study presents the development and field validation of a low‐cost, information and communication technology (ICT)‐enabled weighing lysimeter system that integrates load cells,

Optimizing Stem Strength and Yield Stability by Combining Controlled-Release Nitrogen Fertilizer and Urea Application Across Different Sowing Dates

Agronomy
The delayed sowing date and basal internode lodging caused by climate change are major constraints on wheat productivity. To investigate the effects of varying sowing dates and fertilization application regimes on wheat yield and lodging resistance, a ...

Analysis of plant science higher education reveals mixed provision which falls short of delivering national priorities

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 78-90, March 2025.
Abstract Background Many reports from the UK government and other organisations highlight a need for a plant aware workforce, and some enumerate specific areas of plant science where there is a skills shortage. We have undertaken a systematic analysis of the content of degree programmes that advertise as teaching plant biology to determine if the UK ...

Biofertilization of canola seeds with Peribacillus simplex and Paenibacillus polymyxa bacteria increases tocopherol content

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Biofertilization with plant growth‐promoting bacteria (PGPB) is a reliable strategy to reduce the amounts of chemical fertilizers applied to crops. Nevertheless, the effects of biofertilizers on plant chemical constituents that influence food quality and human health should be evaluated.
