Maize ear rot is an important fungal disease in maize production, mainly caused by pathogens such as Fusarium graminearum, which seriously affects the yield and quality of maize. This study investigated the changes in the activity of defense-related...

The impact of long-term organic (ECO) versus conventional (CON) agricultural management on subsurface soil microbiota diversity and soil physicochemical properties remains unclear in Mediterranean vineyards. This study evaluated long-term ECO and CON...

Intercropping is an eco-friendly, sustainable agricultural model that significantly improves yield stability, nutrient use efficiency, and soil health through spatiotemporal niche complementarity, increases biodiversity, and improves soil health. Wat...

Due to limited land resources and traditional farming practices, continuous cassava cropping is common in China. This practice leads to soil degradation, including reduced fertility, imbalanced microbial communities, and lower crop yields. In this st...

Using multiple species in native plant communities may improve control efficiency compared with single-species use. We conducted field investigations to assess the effects of Artemisia argyi, Portulaca oleracea, and their mixtures on the growth and r...
