Abstract: Controlling phytopathogenic fungi in soybean crops (Glycine max L) is necessary and requires several types of fungicides, however, some of these pesticides can accumulate in soybeans. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) is a metric that indicates the degree of affinity of a subs...

Resumo: Flooded rice cultivation represents one of the main global anthropogenic sources of methane (CH4), a major greenhouse gas that strongly affects atmospheric photochemistry. CH4 production and emissions are influenced by several factors, such as climate, organic residues in water and s...

Resumo: A região do Vale do Ribeira, localizada ao sul do estado de São Paulo e a leste do estado do Paraná, inserida no Bioma Mata Atlântica, possui grande riqueza ambiental e sociocultural, com diversas famílias agricultoras tradicionais que aderiram aos sistemas agroflorestais a...

The rhizosphere is a hotspot of microbial activity driven by root exudation, where subtle changes in carbon inputs can shape microbiome structure and function. To explore these dynamics, we developed an artificial rhizosphere system designed to mimic natural exudation patterns. The system&#x...

O Brasil se destaca como principal produtor de soja. Em 2024, a produção da soja brasileira registrou aumento de 13,4% em comparação à safra de 2023. O oídio da soja, causado por Erysiphe difusa, está entre umas das doenças da cultura que merece atenção. A doença cau...

Abstract: Introduction: Coffee production depends heavily on pollination services, but the combined effects of managed pollinators and pesticide use on crop yield and pollinator health are still poorly understood. This study evaluated the contribution of supplemental pollination by the stingless ...

Climate change-driven increases in temperature and reductions in water availability present critical threats to global food security. Harnessing the potential of the rhizosphere microbiome represents a promising strategy to enhance crop resilience under drought stress. In this study, we investigated&#...

Drought and heat stress limit maize growth and development, decreasing annual yield in many regions worldwide. As temperatures continue to rise, tropical regions will be disproportionately affected, adversely impacting the quality and production of agricultural products, requiring integrated management...

The rhizosphere microbiome plays a pivotal role in plant physiology, development, and health. It functions as an extension of the plant host genome, mediating key interactions with the surrounding environment. This dynamic, multitrophic community assembles through host-driven selection processes, incl...
