Article preview: As the EU Deforestation Regulation reshapes agricultural supply chains, this study explores how proven forestry practices can support its implementation. Drawing on Romania and international experience, it highlights practical pathways for traceability, digital governance and due diligence.

Article preview: Seaweed-based biostimulants can boost crop establishment and nutritional quality. The authors of the study show that Algevit accelerated seed germination and favoured the accumulation of β-carotene, phenolic compounds and soluble proteins in , with genotype-dependent responses. The significant increase in provitamin A content supports the potential of natural biostimulants to enhance the functional and nutraceutical value of this emerging crop.

Article preview: Effective control of trypanosomiasis across sub-Saharan Africa depends on understanding where and when tsetse flies pose the greatest threat. This study reveals striking variations in vector abundance and infection prevalence, highlighting priority areas for surveillance and targeted intervention.

Article preview: How can soybean seeds be protected against Callosobruchus maculatus during storage? This study identified soybean varieties with stable resistance and showed that Gnidia kraussiana root extracts can almost completely inhibit beetle development, offering a promising eco-friendly approach to seed protection.

Article preview: Hidden within Central Cameroon’s forest–savannah transition zone, the Minta Communal Forest hosts an unexpectedly rich flora of 173 plant species, including 13 threatened trees and a rare endemic species. The findings reveal both the ecological value and the growing conservation urgency of these poorly documented landscapes.

Article preview: A five-year evaluation of Datura hairy root cultures demonstrates their sustained capacity for biomass production and tropane alkaloid biosynthesis. The findings also identify AgNO₃ elicitation as a promising strategy for enhancing hyoscyamine and scopolamine production, supporting the sustainable biotechnological production of valuable medicinal compounds.

Article preview: The influence of nitrogen fertilisation and cleaning cut timing on the seed yield and germination performance of Andropogon gayanus was evaluated under Western Ethiopian conditions. The findings highlight the role of agronomic management practices in supporting improved forage seed production in similar agroecological environments.

Article preview: True potato seed (TPS) is emerging as a promising solution for crop producers even in climatic conditions less favourable. The study evaluates six TPS-derived genotypes, highlighting clear differences in yield and tuber size and underscoring their potential to support conventional seed systems.
