Evaluation of virus-free potato minitubers derived from “in vitro” meristem cultures for high-quality seed potato production

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Horticulture
At present, the base for seed potato production is the potato minitubers produced in protected ”insect-proof” spaces. For seed potatoes production it is essential to use a healthy and high-quality biological material, which contributes to obtaining ...

Triple gains: More production, less nitrogen and greater diversity from cropland reallocation in England and Wales

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural production is the main driver of nitrogen pollution and diversity loss. This study assesses the potential of cropland reallocation to simultaneously increase production and decrease nitrogen balances, and its impact on crop diversity.

Regenerative Agriculture and Climate Protection – High Expectations, Low Delivery Agriculture régénératrice et protection du climat : des attentes élevées, des résultats médiocres Regenerative Landwirtschaft und Klimaschutz ‐ Hohe Erwartungen, geringe Erfolge

open access: yesEuroChoices, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 20-26, April 2025.
Summary Regenerative agriculture has gained attention for its potential to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from crop production and improve farm profitability through practices like cover cropping and reduced tillage. However, empirical data suggest that the carbon storage potential and economic benefits of these methods are often overstated ...

Unlocking agro‐ecosystem sustainability: exploring the bottom‐up effects of microbes, plants, and insect herbivores

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 465-484, May 2025.
Microorganism‐released metabolites, proteins, or toxins modulate plant‐based targets to regulate physiological processes such as phytohormone and nutrition balance and stress resistance. Microbes that affect plant physiological processes regulate the visual, olfactory, and gustatory cues associated with plants to attract or repel insect herbivores and ...

Population dynamics of stubby root nematodes (Trichodorus and Paratrichodorus spp.) associated with ‘Docking disorder’ of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), in field rotations with cover crops in East England

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the population dynamics of stubby root nematodes (SRN) in field rotations with cover crops and the subsequent effect of this rotation on sugar beet quality and quantity attributes. It was clear that the SRN densities under field conditions are influenced by multiple factors, such as the type of cover crops grown, soil disturbance ...
