Identification of QTLs linked to partial resistance to foot and root rot caused by <i>Fusarium avenaceum</i> and <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> in faba bean (<i>Vicia faba</i>) Open
Foot and root rot, caused by a complex of soil-borne fungal and oomycete pathogens, including several Fusarium spp., can cause serious yield losses in faba bean. Current control strategies rely largely on agronomic practices and limited va…

Transforming Agricultural and Sulfur Waste into Fertilizer: Assessing the Short-Term Effects on Microbial Biodiversity via a Metagenomic Approach Open
Fungi and soil bacteria are vital for organic matter decomposition and biogeochemical cycles, but excessive synthetic fertilizer use contributes to soil degradation and loss of biodiversity. Despite this, about 97% of soil microorganisms a…

The economic potential of fruit trees as shade in blue mountain coffee agroecosystems of the Yallahs River watershed, Jamaica W.I. Open
Studies in coffee agroecosystems often focus on the conservation and environmental benefits of this managed novel habitat, but rarely examine the socioeconomic benefit of the shade tree products themselves to coffee farmers. An examination…
