With an increase in the global population, a protein-rich crop like soybean can help manage
food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The expansion of soybean production in recent …

Increasing crop biodiversity often increases agro-ecosystem services, however, the effects of
crop biodiversity on crop yield and environmental benefits are still unclear. Thus, we …

Corn (Zea mays) and soybean (Glycine max) production forms an integral part of economies
worldwide, but yields are limited by biotic and abiotic factors associated with short rotations …

Plant–soil feedback (PSF) can be a major driver of plant performance in communities, and
this concept can be used in selecting crop rotation sequences to maximize agricultural …

Corn (Zea mays L.) is an important silage source for dairy cattle production in the
southeastern United States. Silage corn is often grown continuously, which frequently results …

Long-term monoculture of susceptible soybeans naturally develops suppressiveness to
soybean cyst nematode (SCN) Heterodera glycines if fields are not tilled or biocides applied …

Soil bacteria and fungi are integral parts of healthy ecosystem functioning in production
agriculture. The effects of fungal abundance and diversity on crop productivity is poorly …

This study investigated the effect of arbuscular mycorrhiza (Glomus etunicatum Becker &
Gerd.), on the cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe), in a greenhouse. Mycorrhizal …

Aims This study investigated maize-soil biota interactions as well as the soil legacy effects of
continuous monoculture (CM) on maize performance. Methods We conducted a glasshouse …

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) can negatively affect corn production. In this study,
incidence and abundance of PPN were assessed in 300 corn fields across 20 counties in …
