Vekstsesongen 2025 ble preget av store kontraster i temperatur og nedbør. Vinteren var uvanlig varm og våt i nord, mens våren ble den nest varmeste som er registrert i Norge, med rekordtidlig vekststart i store deler av landet. Sør- og Østlandet opplevde en svært tørr vår, mens Vestlandet og Trøndelag hadde ekstremt mye nedbør. Sommeren startet med normale temperaturer, men varierte nedbørsmengder, før juli ble varm og tørr i nesten hele landet. August og september bød på nye rekorder, med ekstrem varme i nord og store regionale forskjeller i nedbør. Disse forholdene påvirket både vekststart, avlingsutvikling og høstetidspunkt for flere kulturer.

Abstract Seed moisture content (SMC) is the most reliable indicator of seed maturity and the optimal harvest timing in grass seed crops. Current SMC testing methodologies used in grass seed crops are slow or inaccurate, making it difficult to make timely harvest decisions. Harvesting too early can result in low seed weight and poor seed germination. Delaying harvest past the point of physiological maturity reduces seed yield by increasing losses due to shattering. Our objective was to validate the feasibility of using portable near‐infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) as a field‐based alternative to the oven method for determining SMC in cool‐season grass seed crops. Eight cool‐season grass species were used in field testing of the portable NIRS sensor over eight harvest seasons. Daily testing of SMC began when grass seed crops were at Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt and Chemische Industrie (BBCH) growth stage 69 and continued until windrowing. Seed samples were collected from each crop by cutting ∼40 inflorescences, then stripping the seeds into airtight containers until ready for estimation of SMC with a portable NIRS sensor, using SMC measurement by laboratory air‐oven (130°C) as the reference method. The SMC estimates made by the portable NIRS sensor were predictive of the actual SMC determined by the oven reference method across all eight grass species. These SMC predictions by the sensor closely followed the seasonal loss of SMC as the seed matured. Spring agronomic practices (mowing, plant growth regulators, foliar fungicides, and nitrogen fertilization) did not influence NIRS predictions of SMC compared with untreated controls. The portable NIRS sensor is a promising tool for determining harvest timing in grass seed crops by using predicted SMC values.

In semiarid regions, soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and soil organic matter (SOM) pools are often low due to limited biomass input and inadequate management. This study evaluated SOC stocks and SOM fractions in a forage cactus–sorghum intercropping system irrigated with treated sewage water under diverse mulch in the northeastern Brazilian semiarid. The experiment followed a randomized split-plot block design with four replicates. Main plots included four irrigation levels (0, 80, 100, and 120 % of sorghum evapotranspiration (ETc)), and split plots comprised two mulch treatments: no mulch (NM) and mulch (WM) with 8 Mg ha−1 of sabi grass, spiny burrgrass, and goosegrass. Soil samples were collected at 0–0.10, 0.10–0.20, and 0.20–0.40 m depths in three sorghum cuts to determine labile SOM fractions: hot water-extractable C (HWEO-C), potassium permanganate-oxidizable C (POX-C), and particulate organic C (POC). In addition, SOC stocks and humic substances (HS), including humin (HU), fulvic acid (FA), and humic acid (HA), were determined at the end of the experiment. Intercropping system productivity was also evaluated. The highest SOC, POC, POX-C, and HWEO-C stocks occurred in 80WM and 100WM treatments, especially in HS, with HU as the dominant component. SOC in the HU fraction exceeded that in native vegetation soils, with threefold increases at 0–0.10 m and six-to sevenfold increases in deeper layers. Soils without irrigation, regardless of mulch, exhibited lower C storage, underscoring the importance of water management. Combining reclaimed water irrigation and mulching enhanced SOC accumulation, particularly in stable humic fractions, boosted carbon sequestration and crop productivity, and fostered sustainable, climate-resilient agriculture in semiarid tropical regions.

Abstract Background and Aims Efficient phosphorus (P) and management is essential for sustainable arable systems. Cover crops (CCs) are promising, but their performance is uncertain in high-latitudes. This three-year study evaluated CCs’ effects on P dynamics in a P-rich soil undersown in barley in Mid-Norway (63.9°N)—one of the northernmost trials of its kind. Methods A randomized complete block design included three CC treatments: ryegrass (CC1), a ryegrass–clover mix (CC2), and a four species mix including grass, legumes and herbs (CC3), and controls without CC (with/without NPK fertilizer). Soil and plant analyses included total and available P, total N, potentially mineralizable N (PMN), pH, permanganate-oxidizable carbon, root biomass, plant P concentrations, and microbial abundance via qPCR. Statistical analysis was based on Linear Mixed Models (LMMs). Results Cover crops successfully established (average biomass: 1525 kg ha⁻ 1 ), accumulated ~ 7 kg P ha⁻ 1 , and did not reduce barley yields. LMMs showed significant effects of CC treatment on root biomass, total P, and bacteria. Pairwise comparisons also revealed that fungal abundances in CC1 and CC3 were significantly higher than in the unfertilized control. Pairwise regression revealed that soil total P was strongly predicted by root biomass (β = 1.37, P < 0.001). Available P was negatively controlled by microbial pools (Bacteria: β = -9.22, P < 0.001) and residue quality (C:P ratio: β = -0.36, P < 0.001). Conclusions CCs can be used at 63°N without yield penalty. The primary P mechanism is mass-driven sequestration (root biomass) into the stable total P pool. However, P availability is temporally constrained by residue quality and microbial competition. Graphical Abstract
