The Environmental Bias of Trade Policy in the Agri‐Food Sector
ABSTRACT The agri‐food sector is a key contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and is also the economic sector most at risk from climate change. The sector is heavily protected by government intervention, particularly through trade policy, which can have significant environmental implications by either promoting or hindering the trade of polluting ...

Abstract This article examines how the politicisation of EU trade policy – defined by heightened public salience, stakeholder polarisation and contestation – reshapes agricultural lobbying strategies, with a particular focus on the EU–Mercosur Association Agreement.

ABSTRACT Plant viruses often alter host traits in ways that affect interactions with herbivores, potentially facilitating their own acquisition and transmission by insect vectors. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.

Economic assessment and strategic potential of agro industries : the case of sugar industry [PDF]
Current economic activity in the beet sugar industry is below its highest point, and this encourages to search for and to shape specific development strategies.

ABSTRACT Root traits significantly shape rhizosphere microbiomes, yet their interaction with microbes is often overlooked in plant breeding programs. Here, we propose that selecting modern cultivars based on microbiome interactive trait (MIT), such as root biomass, exudate patterns and the rhizosphere microbiome, can enhance agricultural sustainability

ABSTRACT Root systems are essential for plant water and nutrient uptake, but are difficult to characterize in‐situ due to their inaccessibility. Spectral electrical impedance tomography (sEIT) is a non‐invasive geoelectrical method that has shown potential to quantify root traits at the laboratory scale. However, field applications remain scarce due to

ABSTRACT Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are key biological control agents in agriculture, but their direct effects on plant metabolism and resistance to herbivory remain underexplored. By combining transcriptomic, metabolomic, and herbivore assays, this study aimed at providing a holistic description of maize root responses to EPNs and to assess ...

Effect of residual nitrogen and fertilizer nitrogen on sugar beet production in Finland
Preliminary determinations for NO3- and NH4-N in topsoil from nitrogen field experiments are discussed. The amounts of residual nitrogen as well as the dates and depth for sampling are considerd in order to investigate the need of fertilizer-N for ...

Global welfare effects of transgenic sugar beet [PDF]
Although the EU is still in a quasi moratorium stage concerning GM crops, doors for GM crops in the sugar industry seem to open. Herbicide tolerant sugar beet could mean a boost for the sugar beet sector.
