Cassava production systems optimized for double output: Seed‐cuttings and root yields

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a strategic crop for food security but continues to face major challenges related to low root yields and the lack of optimized systems for producing high‐quality seed‐cuttings. This study evaluated the effects of different planting densities, varieties, and agrochemical‐based seed‐cutting treatments ...

Egg parasitoid exploitation of plant volatiles induced by single or concurrent attack of a zoophytophagous predator and an invasive phytophagous pest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Zoophytophagous insect predators can induce physiological responses in plants by activating defence signalling pathways, but whether plants can respond to facultative phytophagy by recruiting natural enemies remains to be investigated.

Effects of Alternative Prey Density on Cannibalism in Adult Female Neoseiulus californicus

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Using two strains of N. californicus—TU (reared long‐term on T. urticae) and OB (reared long‐term on O. bakeri)—this study demonstrated that although alternative prey density had no significant effect on cannibalism, both rearing strain and conspecific life stage significantly influenced cannibalistic behavior, with a significant interaction between ...

ICAG‐Net: An Interactive CNN–Transformer Architecture With Attention‐Guided Gated Fusion for Crop Disease Detection

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study presents an AI‐driven approach to smart agriculture focused on early detection of crop diseases, especially fungal infections, to enhance food security. An ensemble model combining a Custom CNN for local feature extraction and a pretrained vision transformer (ViT) for global context analysis is proposed.

Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4089-4103, May 2026.
Recent research findings on the biocontrol potential of Lecanicillium aphanocladii fungus against insect‐pests and plant diseases were highlighted. This review indicates that several L. aphanocladii strains show great potential to be developed as multipurpose biocontrol agents active against several insect‐pests, plant diseases and plant parasitic ...
