An emerging pathogen may be a new virus, bacterium or fungus with the potential to become endemic, epidemic or even pandemic. Plant-pathogenic fungi, in particular, are known to cause high yield losses in agricultural crops, with consequent economic impact, and devastating new fungal diseases are constantly emerging in agroecosystems. South American agriculture is particularly vulnerable to the emergence of plant pathogens. Because our understanding of the risk of pathogen emergence in agroecosystems is still limited, strategies for monitoring, surveillance and risk prediction must be developed.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Using residues as substitutes for farm inputs and soil amendments</h1> <p>Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000</p> <p>After the oyster mushroom (<em>Pleurotus ostreatus</em>) harvest, a large volume of substrate is left over and is usually discarded.
