The intrusion of weeds into fertile areas has resulted in significant global economic and
environmental impacts on agricultural production systems and native ecosystems, hence …

Biological herbicides or bioherbicides can reduce the use of synthetic herbicides and
minimise the negative environmental impact of them. To be successful, bioherbicides must …

The increasing demand for agricultural products and scarcity of resources, such as soil
fertility, irrigation water, and moderate climate, have driven increased use of indoor vertical …

In recent years, continuous cropping is more and more common in melon production, which
shows significant adverse effects on melon cultivation. Autotoxicity is a critical factor for …

Autotoxicity is a key factor that leads to obstacles in continuous cropping systems. Although
Si is known to improve plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, little is known about its …

In recycled hydroponics, successive crop cultivation by maintaining electrical conductivity
(EC) suffers lower growth performance due to accumulating autotoxic root exudates. In this …

Successive lettuce cultivation in closed hydroponics using the same nutrient solution causes
the excess production and accumulation of allelochemicals. The accumulated …

A comprehensive sustainability index was designed in this study to evaluate the
effectiveness and environmental impact of ecologically low-input integrated farming …

Recycled hydroponic solutions used for growing crops can accumulate allelochemicals that
inhibit plant growth. We applied alternating current electrodegradation (AC-ED) to fresh …
