The role of agricultural cooperatives in improving mechanization levels: Differences between outsourcing machinery services and household‐owned machines

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, Volume 97, Issue 2, Page 225-245, June 2026.
Abstract Although mechanization is reshaping rural and agricultural development by reducing drudgery through substituting farm labourers, improving input use efficiency and increasing farm productivity, the level of mechanization in developing countries still needs improvements.

(Not) Covering Climate Risks: A Multimodal News Framing Analysis of Soil Health Reporting in the UK Press

open access: yesThe Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract Risks to soil health from increased flooding and drought due to climate change are a priority risk area for the UK government, but our analysis of two years of UK newspaper coverage on this issue reveals very little attention to it. Our multimodal framing analysis shows that news reports are largely devoid of addressing the root causes ...

The Dismal Harvest: The Uneven Landscapes of AI in Agriculture

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In this intervention, I examine artificial intelligence (AI) in agriculture through a political ecology lens, analysing how promises of productivity, efficiency, and sustainability take shape across uneven postcolonial landscapes. Building on feminist and critical agrarian perspectives, I focus on the material relations of farming to show that

Corn yield and dry matter partitioning as influenced by nitrogen rate and hybrid genetics

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Nitrogen (N) applications, hybrid selection, canopy traits, irrigation, and climate variability are critical determinants of corn (Zea mays L.) growth, biomass accumulation, yield, and N use efficiency. This study evaluated the effects of two N rates (224 and 336 kg ha−1) and five hybrids ([H1, Pioneer‐1870 [conventional non‐trait]; H2 ...

Efficacy evaluation of pneumatic solid set canopy delivery system to control powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) in Washington vineyards

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4815-4828, May 2026.
The findings of this study indicate that powdery mildew control achieved with the pneumatic solid set canopy delivery system (PSD‐SSCDS) was comparable with that of a conventional airblast sprayer. These results highlight the PSD‐SSCDS as a promising alternative spray technology. Abstract BACKGROUND In this study, a previously optimized pneumatic spray

Development and Preliminary Evaluation of a Machine Vision‐Guided Smart Sprayer Prototype Toward Precision Vegetable Weeding

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1973-1987, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Sustainable weed management necessitates herbicide‐reduced, precision weed control. Recent advancements in machine vision and artificial intelligence (AI) for weed recognition and localization have created new opportunities for high‐precision weeding. Although blanket spraying systems are widely used for weed removal, machine vision‐guided, AI‐
