Changing straw management practices in California rice fields: A recent and historical analysis of the Sacramento Valley

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Agricultural practices are constantly evolving due to changes in regulation, climate, and technology. Regulations in California resulted in phasing out rice (Oryza sativa L.) straw burning in the 1990s, leading to a range of alternative practices to manage the straw, which impact agronomic practices, air quality, ecosystem services, and ...

Controlled‐Release Urea Combined With Urea Sustains Yield and Improves Soil Organic Carbon Storage Under Reduced Nitrogen in Rice–Wheat Rotation

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Reducing nitrogen (N) input while sustaining productivity is central to the long‐term food security of intensive rice–wheat systems. We evaluated whether blending controlled‐release urea (CRU) with conventional urea (U) could maintain annual yield stability while improving soil carbon status during a 3‐year rice–wheat rotation. Nine treatments,

Groundnut Improvement for Aflatoxin Resistance: Progress and Opportunities

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundnut, or peanut, is an industrial oilseed crop that serves the food and feed industries and provides income along the value chain. Pre‐ and post‐harvest aflatoxin contamination, caused by Aspergillus spp., hinders the food and feed value and market opportunities of groundnut products. Developing and deploying aflatoxin‐resistant varieties

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1517-1532, September 2026.
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...
