Integrated Soil Salinisation Management Strategies in Agriculture

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
This review synthesises integrated water, agronomic, and biochemical strategies for managing soil salinisation, presenting a decision framework for selecting cost‐effective amendments based on initial soil assessment and long‐term sustainability monitoring. ABSTRACT Soil salinisation poses a global threat to agricultural sustainability, affecting about

Root exudates mediate microorganisms to improve rhizosphere nutrient availability and crop productivity under straw mulching and slow‐release nitrogen fertilizer

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1725-1739, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root exudates play a key role as signals and nutrients in mediating plant–microbe communication. However, critical knowledge gaps remain regarding how root exudates mediate soil–microbe–plant interactions to regulate crop yield under long‐term straw mulching combined ...

Soil microbial activity as influenced by compaction and straw mulching

International Agrophysics, 2012
Soil microbial activity as influenced by compaction and straw mulchingField study was performed on Haplic Luvisol soil to determine the effects of soil compaction and straw mulching on microbial parameters of soil under soybean. Treatments with different compaction were established on unmulched and mulched with straw soil. The effect of soil compaction

Optimizing biomass use for carbon storage and land use with the OptiBiU model

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 1641-1652, May/June 2026.
Abstract Optimal biomass use in a circular bioeconomy requires a system perspective to guide decision‐making. The Optimizing Biomass Use (OptiBiU) model was developed for this purpose. The model distinguishes among primary biomass production, intermediate products, and biobased products, and incorporates recycling.

Effect of Compost Amendment or Straw Mulch on Potato Early Dying Disease [PDF]

Plant Disease, 1999
Single potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) cv. Superior were grown in field microplots to evaluate the effects of spent mushroom compost or straw mulch on early dying of potato caused by Verticillium dahliae and/or Pratylenchus penetrans. Prior to planting, soil was fumigated, placed in field microplots, and then infested with pathogens.

Effects of straw mulching on sediment particle distribution and soil erosion control

Agricultural Water Management
Soil erosion poses a global threat to agricultural sustainability, particularly in vulnerable regions such as the sloping croplands of southern China’s red loam region. The study evaluates the efficacy of straw mulching versus conventional tillage (T) in

Barley seed quality under harvest management practices

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has a strategic role in global agriculture due to its use in food, feed, and brewing industries and its adaptability to diverse environments. This study evaluated the effect of harvest timing on seed quality in two commercial cultivars (ABI Rubi and ABI Valente), focusing on physical integrity, physiological ...
