Summary: Common bean is an important source of food proteins and genetic diversity preservation plays a crucial role in global food security. Research focused on agronomic, morpho-phenological, molecular-genetic, and nutraceutical characterizations of common bean accessions. Environmental factors significantly affected the nutraceutical properties of the seeds, with sea level and mountain environments impacting protein and starch content differently.

Summary: This study characterized the resistance of cactus V-19 progenies to cochineal scale, evaluating morphological, productive, and nutritive value variables in 11 genotypes. Progeny P1 exhibited improved performance compared to others, showing higher dry matter accumulation, in vitro digestible DM, and crude protein levels. Further evaluation is needed for these progenies to assess their productive responses under different management practices.

Summary: This study analyzed the agronomic traits, fresh bean characteristics, and sensory evaluation of boiled beans for 26 mung bean cultivars. It found that high-yielding mung bean cultivars had advantages in branching, pod number, and 100-seed weight, while Zhanglv 3 had the highest total sensory evaluation score for boiled beans. Grey relational analysis identified Zhonglv 3, Jilv 11, Zhonglv 1, CES-78, and Kelv 2 as suitable cultivars for fresh food processing.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of machine learning algorithms with small datasets to forecast crop yields on a monthly basis within the growing season. Machine learning models generally outperformed benchmark models, especially in low-yield years, but the differences in accuracy were not always practically significant. Proper model calibration and selection are crucial, especially when dealing with small datasets, in order to fully achieve superiority over simple benchmarks.

Summary: This study conducted a field experiment to investigate the significance of iron oxide nanoparticles as seed priming agents in alleviating water stress and improving the agronomic characteristics of flax plants. The results showed that seed priming with iron oxide increased plant growth, yield, and antioxidant enzyme activity, while reducing oxidative stress indicators. This demonstrates the potential of iron oxide particles in mitigating water stress.

Summary: This study evaluated the agronomic performance and mineral nutrient content of 174 historical oat landraces from Turkey and found that these landraces exhibited wide variation in agronomic traits, with some outperforming the check cultivars. Drought-tolerant landraces and landraces with high yield and mineral content were also identified.

Summary: This study conducted a field experiment to evaluate cotton yield, fiber quality, growth, and maturity responses to different nitrogen application rates in the southeastern US. It found that both excessively high and low nitrogen levels can significantly affect cotton productivity, fiber quality, and growth, with photosynthetic rates being responsive to nitrogen rates on later sample dates.

Summary: This study evaluated the agronomic performance of chia in China, including suitable seeding window and seed yield potential. Results showed that chia seeded between late-Apr. and middle-May had higher seed yield compared to other seeding dates. Chia flowers attracted a diverse group of pollinating insects, with eastern honeybees and syrphid flies being the most common species. Although chia cannot persist in the seedbank during the spring growing season, seeds from late fall harvest may cause weed control problems in subsequent crops.

Summary: A three-year study was conducted to determine the agronomic management of winter oilseed rape (WOSR) under different tillage systems. The results showed that strip-till system had the highest crude fat content, while low-till and conventional tillage systems had the highest total protein content. The conventional tillage system resulted in higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and lower levels of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). Increasing nitrogen (N) fertilizer decreased crude fat content and increased total protein content. Sulfur (S) fertilizer increased glucosinolate (GLS) concentrations in WOSR seeds.
