Challenges and limitations of introducing pigeonpea as a new crop into smallholder farming systems through farmer‐to‐farmer education in Zambia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Legume plants offer generous benefits for both the planet and people by supporting sustainable farming, food and feed systems through their ability to symbiotically fix atmospheric nitrogen. While grain legumes are cultivated and consumed globally, their adoption, market development, and integration into cropping systems vary.

Host Plant Resistance to Insects in Vegetable Crops

Host plant resistance is an effective approach to manage insect pests in vegetable crops. This approach involves the use of plant traits that deter or reduce insect feeding and reproduction involving the mechanisms of antibiosis, antixenosis, and ...

A national crop wild relative checklist for Zimbabwe reveals edible crop wild relative diversity of regional and global importance

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop wild relatives (CWR) in Zimbabwe are reservoirs of beneficial agronomic traits, yet they remain under‐documented and poorly conserved. This study developed Zimbabwe's first national CWR checklist based on a conceptual framework combining floristic, ecological and ethnobotanical data, revealing over 2700 taxa, with nearly 1000 edible species ...

Transport engineering as a strategy to realize rapeseed's potential as a protein‐rich food

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The heavily pesticide‐dependent rapeseed is an under‐utilized protein source for food owing to anti‐nutritional glucosinolates. Transport engineering technology may reduce glucosinolates in seeds while increasing defense in vegetative parts. Abstract Rapeseed is the world's second‐largest oilseed crop, and the low‐value press cake that remains after ...

Population Genomics Approaches Identify a Cryptic, Emerging Generalist Pest Complex. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Molecular gut content analysis and RAD‐seq analysis revealed a peanut pest complex where previously only one species was considered problematic. Both species exhibited a wide, but somewhat distinct, variety of plants among their diets, and peanut‐feeding was rare. Diet generalism combined with a stepwise pattern of dispersal among fields might underlie
