The critical period of cover crop management: A framework for maximizing biomass potential and minimizing volunteers with buckwheat

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Abstract Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is a short‐duration high‐biomass cover crop often grown in potato (Solanum tuberosum) rotations to provide select agroecosystem services. However, buckwheat's short generation time challenges its continued viability as a cover crop as seed is rapidly produced, resulting in volunteer issues in subsequent ...

Experience and trust to handle uncertainty of biodiversity responses to innovative agricultural practices: Lessons from citizen science on farms

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 611-630, March 2025.
Abstract As for any innovation, integrating farmland biodiversity into agricultural practices is a complex process, leading to decisions made under uncertainty, due to the difficulty of foreseeing the consequences of decisions. This uncertainty comes under many different forms, depending among others on the type of environmental innovation in ...

Metabarcoding advances agricultural invertebrate biomonitoring by enhancing resolution, increasing throughput and facilitating network inference

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 50-66, February 2025.
Abstract Biomonitoring of agriculturally important insects is increasingly vital given our need to understand: (a) the severity of impacts by pests and pathogens on crop yield and health and (b) the impact of environmental change and land management on insects, in line with sustainable development and global conservation targets.

Using crop rotation to control wireworms (OK-Net Arable Practice Abstract) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
• Perennial grass-clover leys promote wireworms. For this reason, a perennial cultivation of grass-clover ley should be avoided if there is any indication of wireworm infestation.

Unraveling the interaction of co‐encapsulated Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Metarhizium brunneum in calcium alginate‐based attract‐and‐kill beads

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 10, Page 5131-5140, October 2024.
Co‐encapsulated Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Metarhizium brunneum interacted beneficially but also competed for resources. Depending on the composition of beads, steep oxygen gradients with internal hypoxic zones and temporary severe acidification occurred.
