Indigenous Management Practices to Reduce Pests and Pathogens of Cash Crops in Agroforestry Systems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The crop with the highest damages was cocoa (63.9% plants affected by black pod disease), followed by Fusarium stem rot was the second highest damage in crops (30.0% of vanilla plants infected). Insecticides and fungicides do not have a significant impact in reducing pest and pathogen infestation.

Starter Culture‐Induced Fermentation Reveals Genotype‐Driven Variability in the Composition and Quality of Brazilian Amazon Forastero Cocoa Beans

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is a crop of major economic importance, with Brazil ranking sixth in global production and Pará leading national output. Bean quality is strongly influenced by genetic diversity and postharvest processing, particularly fermentation. To minimize batch heterogeneity, this study evaluated 18 Forastero genotypes from the

Agroforestry Management Systems Drive the Composition, Diversity, and Function of Fungal and Bacterial Endophyte Communities in Theobroma Cacao Leaves

Microorganisms, 2020
Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) is one of the most economically important crops worldwide. Despite the important role of endophytes for plant growth and health, very little is known about the effect of agroforestry management systems on the endophyte ...

Biochar‐Based Fertilizer Is Cost‐Effective, Reduces Nutrient Input and Improves Nutrient Use Efficiency Without Decreasing Yield

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
Co‐applying half‐rate BMC layer: (i) Reduced nutrient inputs and (ii) produced similar yield. ABSTRACT Developing high‐efficiency fertilizers with less environmental footprint is essential for sustainable cropping systems. This study evaluated a biochar mineral complex (BMC) to reduce nutrient leaching and increase nutrient use efficiency (NUE), yield,
