“Heavy Metals in California Women Living in a Gold Mining-Impacted Community.”

“Broccoli microgreens: A mineral-rich crop that can diversify food systems.”

“Foliar sprays of eight plant-derived protein hydrolysates on tomato generally increased digital biomass, with two products (A and I) significantly improving relative growth rate and overall growth performance, though chlorophyll fluorescence showed no photosynthetic differences. Metabolomics indicated the biostimulants worked by reprogramming ethylene-precursor, polyamine, and ROS-signaling pathways, and the phenotyping-plus-metabolomics combination proved an efficient way to screen new biostimulant candidates.”

“Soil health and nutrient density: preliminary comparison of regenerative and conventional farming.”

“Applying coal combustion residue as a carbon amendment (3.3–19.7 Mg C/ha) in a western Nebraska dry bean–maize–sugarbeet rotation gave no consistent yield benefit over three years, with only weak yield trends (p = 0.07–0.22) in some crop-years. It did not reduce herbicide effectiveness on weeds, though one mid-rate treatment cut maize yield where saflufenacil + dimethenamid-p was applied.”
