Improving nitrogen use efficiency in crop production
Considers the role of fertiliser use in agriculture as a major contributor to the imbalance of the global nitrogen cycle Reviews the effectiveness of inorganic nitrogen fertilisers and organic sources of nitrogen in optimising nitrogen use efficiency Highlights recent developments in the use of enhanced efficiency nitrogen fertilisers to reduce nitrous oxide emissions
Managing biodiversity in agricultural landscapes
Provides a comprehensive overview of the key concepts in biodiversity management within agricultural landscapes Considers the role of farmers and rural communities in implementing ecological restoration practices Reviews the importance of habitat and animal rewilding in promoting biodiversity and other key ecosystem services
Improving poultry meat safety and sustainability
Highlights the major zoonotic disease threats to poultry production, detailing their characterisation, identification and routes of transmission Addresses both on-farm safety and postharvest management techniques in preventing the risk and spread of zoonotic and other diseases Considers how elements of poultry production can be better managed to improve safety and sustainability, such as improving feed formulation and litter management to reduce environmental impact
Biopesticides for sustainable agriculture
Reviews key steps in biopesticide product development Comprehensive coverage of the range of biopesticides, from microbial to natural substance-based biopesticides Strong focus on pheromone and allelochemical semiochemicals as well as peptide-based biopesticides
Advances in biocontrol of crop insect pests
Provides a detailed overview of the recent advances in the biocontrol sector, focussing on the development of products to control crop insect pests Considers the key issues and challenges that can arise as a result of the development of novel biocontrol agents, such as the challenge of commercialising a new product to a rapidly changing market Addresses how breeding techniques can be optimised to improve plant defences against insect pest attacks
Instant Insights: Agroforestry practices
Considers the importance of agroforestry systems in achieving a more sustainable agriculture Reviews the environmental, ecological and economic benefits of agroforestry systems Explores the ways in which agroforestry practices can be implemented to enhance biodiversity
Contaminants in agricultural soils
Reviews the main types of contaminants in agricultural soils, such as heavy metals, pesticide residues and petroleum hydrocarbon waste products, per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contaminants Explores bioremediation techniques such as the use of soil amendments and additives Covers techniques such as phyto-stabilisation and phyto-extraction
Advances in sheep production
Provides a detailed overview of the current challenges facing sheep production, including changing consumer and societal attitudes to sheep products Considers how sheep production can improve its sustainability through the implementation of key practices, such as the use of genetic improvements to reduce GHG emissions Reviews the recent advances in sheep breeding and genetic selection, as well as how it can be optimised to improve fertility and reproductive performance in sheep
Current crop models
Provides a comprehensive overview of the main crop models developed in North America, Europe, Asia and the Pacific Considers how current crop models can be improved with future enhancements, such as the incorporation of genetics Details examples of current applications of crop models, focussing on genotype-environment-management (G x E x M) interactions
Chemical contaminants in foods
Provides a comprehensive overview of the major types of contaminants in food, including environmental and process contaminants, as well as natural toxins Reviews the establishment of major international and EU food safety frameworks Addresses recent advances in techniques for monitoring and detecting chemical contaminants in food
