This three-year field study evaluated the agronomic and physiological responses of Tritordeum to nitrogen fertilisation strategies under Mediterranean conditions using an integrated approach combining GDD-aligned phenological monitoring, UAV-based mu...

Intercropping, especially legume-cereal systems, is a mixed farming approach that can improve agricultural resilience by addressing challenges such as soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and global change, all while promoting the sustainable product...

Substituting chemical fertilizers with organic alternatives represents an effective strategy for mitigating soil nitrogen (N) loss and reducing chemical fertilizer use. However, the efficacy of organic substitution in regulating soil N fertility and...

Soil secondary salinization is a major limiting factor of sustainable agricultural production in arid and semi-arid irrigation zones, yet predictive tools for regional water–salt dynamics remain limited. The Yichang Irrigation District, located...

Through highly detailed data acquisition, a precision agriculture approach leads to the optimization of inputs, improving, for instance, water and nutrient use efficiency. High-resolution vigor mapping in perennial orchards provides the spatial detai...

Maize is a globally vital crop for both grain and forage production. Its cultivation and growth are significantly restricted by salt stress. Expansins are non-enzymatic plant cell wall proteins that play pivotal roles in growth, development, and stre...

Grass–legume mixtures are increasingly recognized for their potential to enhance soil health and forage productivity through belowground biotic interactions. In this study, we evaluated the effects of Vicia faba L. (faba bean 4060)–Avena...

The application of bio-organic fertilizers (BOFs) represents a promising strategy for mitigating soil degradation in continuous monoculture systems, yet their long-term mechanistic impacts in aged cotton fields remain poorly elucidated. This study ai...

Nitrogen is essential for durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) production, yet conventional sources such as urea-ammonium nitrate (UAN) and monoammonium phosphate (MAP) are energy-intensive to manufacture and, when mismanaged, contribute to s...

Strawberry propagation relies predominantly on asexual reproduction via runner plants, making runners a critical organ for cultivation. Runners develop from axillary buds under specific environmental conditions. While long-day photoperiods and higher...
