Microorganisms have important roles in the bioremediation of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) in farmland soils. However, the majority of functional microorganisms (>99%) are yet to be cultivated. In this study, magnetic nanoparticle-mediated isolation (MMI) coupled with high-throughput sequencing was applied to identify the microorganisms responsible for chlorpyrifos (CPF) degradation in farmland soils. Various microorganisms have been identified as CPF degraders MMI, in which the roles of genera , , , and have not previously been related to CPF degradation. Two organophosphorus hydrolase genes ( and ) were involved in CPF metabolism in MMI enrichments, compared to only found in the cultivable CPF degrader L1. Also, a more thorough degradation of CPF was found in MMI enrichments, where 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP), ,-diethyl thiophosphate (DETP), 2,3,5-trichloro-6-methoxypyridine (TMP) and ,,-trimethyl phosphorothioate were identified as the biodegradation products. This work suggests that MMI is a promising technology for separating functional microorganisms from complex microbiota, with deeper insight into their ecological functions, providing fundamental knowledge on soil bioremediation strategies.

Many root-knot nematode (RKN) species in the genus occur in Florida, including , a species able to overcome RKN resistance genes in many crops. The distribution of these nematodes in horticultural crops is not well known. A RKN survey was conducted in South and Central Florida aiming to: (i) identify RKN infecting vegetables, fruit, and other crops; (ii) document host plants; (iii) determine RKN distribution; and (iv) gain insight on the relatedness of obtained in this study with other populations from the USA and other countries.

Sustainable soil management is essential to conserve soil biodiversity and its provision of vital ecosystem services. The EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 highlights the key role of organic farming and land protection in halting biodiversity loss, including edaphic biodiversity. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed measures, a 1-year study was conducted in spring 2022 to determine the soil quality of three organically managed agroecosystems and four sites for each: arable lands, olive groves, and vineyards in the Conero Park, using the arthropod-based Biological Soil Quality Index (QBS-ar) and also considering soil chemical-physical characteristics.

Plastic mulch films support global food security, however, their composition and the potential release rates of organic, metal and metalloid co-contaminants remains relatively unknown. This study evaluates the low molecular weight organic additives, metal and metalloid content and leaching from low density polyethylene (LDPE) and biodegradable plastic mulch films. We identified 59 organic additives, and non-intentionally added substances in the new LDPE films (39.

The widespread application of swine-farming wastewater to soil and water is increasingly contributing to heavy metal contamination, posing significant environmental risks. This study investigated the concentrations of eight heavy metals in swine-farming wastewater following different treatment processes, and assessed their ecological risks in Sichuan Province, China. The findings revealed that zinc, copper and nickel exhibited the highest concentrations, potentially causing heavy or strong contamination levels and leading to heavy or slight ecological risks.

Coffee yield exhibits plant-level variability; however, due to operational issues, especially in smaller operations, the scouting and management of coffee yields are often hindered. Thus, a cell-size approach at the field level is proposed as a simple and efficient solution to overcome these constraints. This study aimed to present the feasibility of a cell-size approach to characterize spatio-temporal coffee production based on soil and plant attributes and yield (biennial effects) and to assess strategies for enhanced soil fertilization recommendations and economic results.
