Higher relative humidity and more moderate temperatures increase the severity of rice false smut disease in the rice –crayfish coculture system
Rice false smut in rice –crayfish coculture (RC) was much more serious than the disease in rice monoculture (RM) among most rice varieties. Some varieties displayed resistance to rice false smut in RM, but were susceptible in RC, suggesting that the RC system is a better model than RM for evaluation of the resistance of rice varieties to false smut. In comparison with RM, RC showed higher relative humidity and more moderate temperatures from the rice booting stage to early filling stage. AbstractRice false smut, a devastating grain disease in rice, is a great challenge to global food security. Rice –crayfish coculture ...

Greenhouse and field experiments revealed that clove oil can effectively reduce bacterial blight and increase yield in pomegranate
Clove oil can effectively reduce bacterial blight and enhance yield. AbstractBacterial blight in pomegranate is a devastating disease caused by bacterial pathogenXanthomonas axonopodis pv.punicae (XAP), recording huge damage to pomegranate crop worldwide. Antibiotics and copper-based chemicals are being used for the management of this blight, while in this present work, we investigated the effect of eugenol and clove oil either singly or in combination with copper oxychloride (COC) on the induction of plant defense responses and concomitant prevention of bacterial blight. Our results provided evidence that clove oil (0.2% ...

Spikelet differentiation and degeneration in rice varieties with different panicle sizes
In this study, we explored the characteristics of spikelet differentiation and degeneration and the relevant physiological characteristics of rice varieties with different panicle sizes. The regulatory effects of alternate wetting and moderate soil drying (AWMD) on spikelet formation were also measured. We determined that the high spikelet number per panicle and grain yields of large-panicle rice varieties were primarily due to a higher number of differentiated and surviving secondary spikelets. Furthermore, shoot dry weight, plant nitrogen (N) uptake, plant N concentration, non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) accumulation i...

Application of bio and chemical fertilizers improves yield, and essential oil quantity and quality of Moldavian balm (Dracocephalum moldavica L.) intercropped with mung bean (Vigna radiata L.)
A two-year field study was conducted to determine the effects of biofertilizer application with chemical fertilizers on yield and quality parameters of intercrops in Moldavian balm mung bean intercropping. The highest seed yields for MG (1189 kg/ha) and MB (7027 kg/ha) occurred in the pure stands fertilized with NPK+BF, while 3MB:2MG fertilized with NPK+BF had the highest macro/micronutrient concentrations. The MB essential oil comprised geranyl acetate (30–39%), geranial (20–31%), neral (18–24%), and geraniol (3–8%). AbstractIntercropping Moldavian balm with mung bean is an ecological approach for improving res...

Public –private partnership model for intensive maize production in China: A synergistic strategy for food security and ecosystem economic budget
Small farms are the mainstay of maize production in China. Its productivity is relatively low despite large farm inputs and the associated environmental footprints. We studied public –private partnership (PPP) model for sustainable maize production to achieve co-benefits of food security and environmental sustainability. And the PPP model provides new insights into improving food security and ecosystem and economic budget. AbstractSmall farms are the mainstay of maize production in China. Its productivity is relatively low despite large farm inputs and the associated environmental footprints. Here, we studied public –p...

Spatiotemporal changes in the state of food security across mainland china during 1990 –2015: A multi‐scale analysis
In this study, a spatially explicit crop model was used to simulate the production of major crops in China (i.e., wheat, maize, rice, and soybeans). Food production (as simulated by the crop model) and GDP per capita relative to the global average were then used to develop food security indicators to evaluate China's food security levels on grid, provincial, and economic zone scales. The Getis –Ord method was further applied to analyze the spatial aggregation of food security and food insecurity provinces. Results show that food security situation improved in mainland China during 1990–2015, attributed largely to the e...

A meta ‐analysis of the effects of global warming on rice and wheat yields in a rice–wheat rotation system
The yield response to warming differed for rice and wheat in the rice-wheat rotation system. Overall, warming significantly increased wheat yield (by 4.8%) but significantly reduced rice yield (by 14.8%). For rice, yield responses to warming varied with the temperature increase, variety and nitrogen rate. For wheat, however, yield responses to warming varied with the warming regime, ambient temperature, temperature increases and CO2 concentrations. AbstractThe effects of global warming on crop production have received great attention in recent years. However, inconsistent results have been obtained with regard to major cro...

Profiles and interrelationships of functional soil microbiomes involved in phosphorus cycling in diversified agricultural land ‐use systems
This study extends the understanding of soil microbial P potential and provides important implications in optimizing P-use efficiency in future agricultural practices. AbstractSoil microbiomes play important roles in both transformation and utilization of phosphorus (P) in agroecosystems. By targeting at 18S rRNA,pqqC, andphoD genes, respectively, the community compositions of soil arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and inorganic P-solubilizing and organic P-mineralizing prokaryotes were investigated across fields with annual crops or vegetables and orchards with peach trees or tea bushes in a common Agri-technology Park, r...

Ecosystem service variation and its importance to the wellbeing of smallholder farmers in contrasting agro ‐ecological zones of East African Rift
ES of the study region has shown spatial differences between agro-ecological zones. The ecosystem service delivery capacity of the region has been decreased over time and ecosystem disservices have been emerging in the region. Both ecosystem service and disservice have affected the health and basic material wellbeing of smallholder farmers. AbstractSmallholder farmers lead their lives using multiple ecosystem services (ESs). Understanding the contribution of these services to smallholder farmers' wellbeing is essential for addressing ecosystem-related problems. While the economic valuation of ESs has received major emphasi...

Improving the yield potential in maize by constructing the ideal plant type and optimizing the maize canopy structure
This study applied to explain canopy-related factors influencing maize yield gaps, in order to enhance yields. There are opportunities to narrow the yield gaps by making full use of radiation resources by optimizing the canopy structure. Our results could help breeders choose an ideal canopy structure for improving yield. AbstractUnderstanding the impact of changes in the crop canopy on yield is important in order to meet future food demands. We designed a field experiment to investigate the relationships between crop-related factors and yield gaps in maize to enhance crop yields from 2010 to 2018 in Qitai, China. Maize gr...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alleviate salinity stress in peanut: Evidence from pot ‐grown and field experiments
In this study, peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) seeds were inoculated with AMF to investigate its salinity stress alleviation effects using the pot-grown and 2-year field experiments. Seeds from two peanut cultivars (HY22 and HY25) were inoculated with AMFRhizophagus irregularis SA andFunneliformis mosseae BEG95 (1:1), and the physiological and transcriptional responses were compared between the AMF-inoculated and non-inoculated peanut plants. Under the salinity stress, compared with the control samples, the AMF-inoculated plants showed higher net photosynthetic rate, leaf relative water content (RWC), plant height, osmolyte a...
