Perceptions, challenges and determinants of management strategy choices for combating fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) infestation in Ghana

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 9107-9118, September 2026.
Despite high awareness of fall armyworm, a significant gap remains in the use of sustainable and effective control measures. Farmers predominantly perceive synthetic pesticides as ideal despite studies highlighting botanical and traditional methods as more sustainable.

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8053-8063, September 2026.
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

Nature‐Based Solutions for Climate‐Smart Agriculture: Current Status and Perspectives

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
This figure conceptualises a framework that integrates nature‐based solution (NbS) and circularity principles into agricultural systems, with life cycle assessment (LCA) as the quantitative backbone complemented by other economic and social assessments.

Natural variation in the atypical resistance gene Ptr confers broad‐spectrum neck blast resistance in rice

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Neck blast (NB), caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, infects rice (Oryza sativa L.) and reduces yield. Knowledge of NB resistance remains limited due to the lack of reliable resistance evaluation methods. Here, we applied a newly established neck injection method and performed a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) on 335 diverse accessions from the

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 480-493, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...

Can Organic Amendments Override Environmental Filtering of Soil Microbiomes? Evidence From 20 Years Old Agricultural Field Trials in Contrasting Tropical Sites

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Across four long‐term Kenyan maize trials, site was the dominant driver of microbial community composition and N‐cycling gene abundance. Among organic amendments, farmyard manure most strongly enriched copiotrophic taxa and raised prokaryotic diversity.

Revisiting the Molecular Roadmap for Sugar Crops: Genome Reading, Trait Writing and Variety Redesigning

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, Page 5013-5040, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

No Cost of Resistance in Wheat Gene Stack Lines Containing 10 Stem Rust Resistance Transgenes

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, Page 5185-5200, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic resistance is the most economical and sustainable approach for crop protection, however, it is regularly overcome by pathogen virulence evolution. Polygenic resistance has greater durability, but unlinked genes are laborious to maintain in breeding programs.
