MohamedAbdel-rahman A. MustafaMohamed S. ShokrHala A. M. El-sayedNazih Y. Rebouh 1), low drought susceptibility index (<1), and high yielding stability index, were more adaptive in both environments. While genotypes G2 and G9 were suited to normal conditions in both seasons, genotypes G4 and G7 were adapted to drought stress. Grain yield was directly positively impacted by the characteristics of number of tillers (NT), thousand kernel weight (TKW), and harvest index (HI). Under drought stress, spike length (SL) via TKW and HI, NT via number of spikes (NS) and HI, and TKW via HI had the greatest beneficial indirect effects. The fitted models of grain yield and its components under drought stress comprised biological yield (BYLD), NT, NS, HI, and plant height (PH), TKW, BYLD, HI, which contributed more to grain yield in the first and second seasons at 91.5% and 96.7%, respectively. According to the graphical genotype and environmental interaction (GGE-bioplot) focused scaling for comparison, G3 was the best and most promising genotype under these circumstances, followed by G6, G8, and G4. As a result, these genotypes are thought to be highly advantageous in wheat breeding studies.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fagro.2026.1724816 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fagro.2026.1724816 <![CDATA[The effects of long-term fertilization on rice yields in the red soil region, China: a field meta-analysis]]> 2026-04-28T00:00:00Z Original Research Xian TangXiaolin HeDao LiuYitian LiuFeng LiShuai LanZhangjie QinXiulong ChenJianrong ZhaoFeng Liang https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fagro.2026.1805940 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fagro.2026.1805940 <![CDATA[Evaluation of UV-C light for control of Tetranychus urticae and Eotetranychus lewisi (Acari: Tetranychidae) on strawberry]]> 2026-04-27T00:00:00Z Original Research Colin T.
