Without access to higher yielding gene edited crops, the organic industry must rely on older, outdated varieties with lower yields, lower disease resistance, and lower drought tolerance, further widening the yield gap between conventional and organic. scienceforsustainableagriculture.com/stuartsmyth4

We are pleased to share our latest review published in Sustainability presenting a mechanistic perspective on the limitations and future potential of soil carbon (C) sequestration, based on an extensive analysis of 412 studies from 1990 to 2025.

Research over 14-16 years at 4 sites across Iowa, continuous corn with N had lower yields than corn rotated with soybean, but increased soil organic matter due to higher overall C inputs to soil than the corn-bean rotation, which did not increase SOM. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

I love microbes - but not all #soil processes are microbial, not even biotic. Check out the addition to our previous ferrous wheel story (tinyurl.com/26j2whpk) published in J. Environ. Manag. tinyurl.com/ympthbv3. Abiotic #nitrogen fixation is central for #volcanic soils.

Proud to share that this got published in Plant and Soil . We surveyed 53 farms in ND and MN. Overall, organic agriculture led to higher soil microbiome connectivity and lower pathogen loads, over diverse cropping regimes. Have a read! Samiran Banerjee link.springer.com/article/10.100…

New paper out in TrendsPlantSci led by Courtney Tharp Here, we discuss common misconceptions and limitations of the pervasive use of the 'cry for help' hypothesis in plant-microbe interactions.
