Advancing sustainable agriculture: the role of integrated soil-crop management in maize production
Published in Frontiers in Environmental Science
Objective This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Integrated Soil-Crop System Management (ISSM) and provide technical support for sustainable high yield and efficiency in regional agriculture. Methods The study compared the effects of no fertilization (Control), conventional farmer practices (FP), high-yield management (HY), and ISSM on ma...
Enhancing sustainable crop production through integrated nutrient management: a focus on vermicompost, bio-enriched rock...
Published in Frontiers in Agronomy
Securing a consistent food supply remains a pressing global challenge, particularly for small-scale farmers grappling with obstacles in enhancing agricultural yields, especially in tropical soils. Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) techniques, employing organic manures like vermicompost and bio-enriched rock phosphate, emerge as recommended solut...
Biofabricated nanomaterials in sustainable agriculture: insights, challenges and prospects
...Published in Biofabrication
One ever-evolving and ever-demanding critical human endeavour is the provision of food security for the growing world population. This can be done by adopting sustainable agriculture through horizontal (expanding the arable land area) and vertical (intensifying agriculture through sound technological approaches) interventions. Customized formulated...
Factors That Influence the Intention of Smallholder Rice Farmers to Adopt Cleaner Production Practices: An Empirical Stu...
Published in Evaluation review
Sustainable agriculture is crucial for achieving SDG2 and building a resilient climate-food system. This study provides a nuanced understanding of factors that influence the adoption of precision agriculture technology by Vietnamese smallholder rice farmers as a sustainable agricultural solution. The study's objectives are: (1) to provide a nuanced...
Spatial approach for agritourism landscape planning in Winongan-Gondang Wetan, Pasuruan
Published in IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
The Winongan and Gondang Wetan (WGW) sub-districts in the downstream area of the Rejoso watershed in Pasuruan are characterized by predominantly agricultural land. The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) initiated a conservation program in this region called Rejoso Kita during 2016-2022. This program is designed to enhance current agricultural practi...

The influence of soil types and agricultural management practices on soil chemical properties and microbial dynamics
Published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Soil provides essential nutrients for plant growth, but excess salts hinder development, making crops more vulnerable under climate change conditions. Soil microorganisms play a significant role in nutrient cycling. However, limited information is available on microbial behavior/community changes, and functional diversity in different soil types (n...

A paradigm for the contextual safety assessment of agricultural microbes: a closer look at Klebsiella variicola
Published in Frontiers in Industrial Microbiology
Adopting a risk assessment paradigm that is contextualized and strain-specific will be critical to enabling the continued development and safe use of microbes, particularly bacteria, in numerous industries and applications. An overly simplistic approach of labeling bacterial species as either harmful or beneficial is ill-suited for the complexities...
