Critical review of the impact of cover crops on soil properties

Komlan Koudahe et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the contribution of cover crops to soil properties. It discusses the advantages and uses of different types of cover crops, such as grass species for soil cover and decomposition, broadleaf species for quick decomposition and residue release, and leguminous species for nitrogen fixation. It also highlights the benefits of cover crops in improving soil health, including reducing soil density, improving soil structure and hydraulic properties, and increasing organic carbon and nutrient content. Additionally, cover crops promote microbial activity and diversity. Proper management of cover crops can enhance soil health as an essential practice in soil conservation.

Sterile Insect Technique Programme against Mediterranean Fruit Fly in the Valencian Community (Spain)

Ignacio Pla et al.

Summary: The Mediterranean fruit fly is a destructive pest in the fruit-growing areas, especially affecting citrus in the Valencian Community. By implementing an area-wide integrated pest management program, primarily using the sterile insect technique, there has been a significant reduction in the use of insecticides and an increase in citrus and fresh fruit exports.

Biodiversity in agricultural landscapes: different non-crop habitats increase diversity of ground-dwelling beetles (Coleoptera) but support different communities

Tamara Rischen et al.

Summary: The study compared ground-dwelling beetle assemblages in different agricultural fields, finding that non-crop habitats have higher taxonomic diversity and conservation value for beetles. While different non-crop habitats did not significantly differ in species richness or threatened species numbers, grassland fallows were found to be important for certain large beetle species.
