Evaluating early‐season hail damage in corn and its interaction with Goss's wilt
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Hailstorm losses are associated with plant defoliation, stand losses, and reduced crop canopy capacity to compete with weeds. Additionally, hail wounds in plants might favor disease development, potentially further reducing corn yields. Corn yield losses due to hailstorms early in the growing season are considered minor due to an expected ...

Through a Glass Darkly: The Esk Valley Floods
Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 3, September 2026.Recent decades have seen a refocus from flood mitigation to risk reduction in favour of more proactive approaches to risk reduction and flood risk management. This study draws on the findings from surveys of residents in the Esk catchment of Hawkes Bay who experienced two significant flood events in 2018 and 2023 and residents’ perceptions of flood ...

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1584-1598, September 2026.Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8831-8843, September 2026.Optimizing PWM performance requires not only appropriate duty cycle selection, but also careful choice of adjuvant formulation tailored to each nozzle type. Drift control agents increased droplet size and reduced fine droplets, mitigating PWM‐induced variability. Decreasing the duty cycle consistently narrowed the spray angle.
