This paper reviews relevant literature on the sustainability indicators theoretically proposed
and practically applied by scholars over the past 15 years. Although progress is being made …

Conventional crop protection with pesticides has limitations such as resistance of pests to
pesticides and faunal imbalance. Agroecological crop protection is an attractive alternative …

This work initiates a modelling approach that allows us to investigate the effects of canopy
architecture on foliar epidemics development. It combines a virtual plant model of wheat …

Field experiments were used to test whether intercropping sunflower (Helianthus annuus) in
organic vegetables would (1) attract insect-eating birds and encourage them to (2) forage in …

Field surveys were conducted to determine the spatiotemporal distribution and the
association of disease intensity with cropping systems and other environmental factors in …

Plant diseases are major limiting factors in agricultural production. The control of plant
diseases using pesticides although quite easy and effective is being objected due to the …

Crop nutrition is frequently inadequate as a result of the expansion of cropping into marginal
lands, elevated crop yields placing increasing demands on soil nutrient reserves, and …

Conservation agriculture (CA) has been promoted as a major way forward to make
agriculture sustainable by protecting soils from degradation processes. The focus of this …

Micronutrients might affect the resistance of plants to pathogens or disease tolerance. In
addition, there are conflicting reports about the effect of micronutrients on plant diseases …
