Assessing the Impact of Capillary Moisture on Topsoil Carbon Mineralisation in Flemish Cropland Using a Physical Barrier Open
To accurately predict soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks under a changing climate, models must properly integrate soil hydrological controls. In Northwest Europe, prolonged droughts are expected, during which capillary moisture transport may…

Genetic and phenotypic diversity of European triticale : GWAS of yellow rust resistance and agronomic traits Open
Triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack) is an interspecific hybrid of wheat and rye. It is a promising grain and forage crop that thrives in poorer soils and low-input farming systems. It can serve as a viable alternative to traditional small…

Combination of Potassium Phosphite and Reduced Doses of Fungicides Encourages Protection against Phytophthora infestans in Potatoes Open
Late blight caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans is considered the biggest threat to potato farming worldwide. For susceptible cultivars, the disease is often managed by frequent applications of fungicides to reduce yield loss. Th…

Soil texture can predominantly control organic matter mineralization in temperate climates by regulating soil moisture rather than through direct stabilization Open
<p>Soil organic carbon (OC) levels generally increase with increasing clay and silt content under a similar climatic zone because of increased association of OC to clay minerals and stronger occlusion inside aggregates. Surprisingly …
