A 2024 field study near Dudhawa Dam revealed that *Echinochloa* ecotypes, particularly *E. colona*, caused the most significant rice yield losses in broadcasting and dry direct-seeded systems due to favorable soil seed bank germination, whereas puddled transplanting and residue burning effectively reduced infestation through seed bank disturbance and persistence reduction.
This study demonstrates that perimeter-focused management strategies, specifically the combination of Attract-and-Kill lures with perimeter insecticide spraying, effectively control *Popillia japonica* in Wisconsin vineyards while significantly reducing treated surface area, application time, and costs compared to traditional broadcast pesticide programs.
This multi-state study in Nigeria reveals a high seroprevalence of *Echinococcus granulosus* (49.42%) among livestock and identifies significant epidemiological associations between seropositivity and FMD-like clinical manifestations, highlighting the need for improved differential diagnosis and integrated One Health surveillance in resource-limited settings.
This study introduces a terrain-thermal convergence framework demonstrating that traditional thermal-only climate suitability models significantly overestimate agricultural adaptation potential for Hawaiian specialty coffee by ignoring critical topographic constraints, which reveal that land availability is finite and discontinuous rather than a continuous surface.
This study demonstrates that in the arid Thar Desert, fodder beet survival and biomass are primarily dictated by water availability, which triggers specific root-focused biochemical defense mechanisms, while nitrogen fertigation schedules act as a secondary, independent modifier of pigment efficiency.
Dietary β-carotene supplementation (particularly at 1,200–1,800 mg/d) from late gestation to early lactation effectively improved antioxidant status and reduced oxidative stress in Holstein cows without significantly altering milk yield or composition.
This study demonstrates that *Bacillus amyloliquefaciens* TL6 effectively controls peanut early leaf spot caused by *Passalora arachidicola* through the secretion of metabolites that damage fungal cell membranes, inhibit ergosterol biosynthesis, and disrupt protein synthesis, achieving biocontrol efficacy comparable to the chemical fungicide carbendazim.
This paper proposes an AI-driven UAV swarm framework that utilizes synthetic datasets to simulate desert farming conditions, achieving 100% stress detection and 98.9% prediction confidence to enable precision monitoring and resource optimization in arid environments.
This study utilizes a Box–Behnken design to optimize the solar-powered hydrothermal carbonization of mixed rice husk and food waste, demonstrating that moderate temperatures and intermediate blending ratios maximize energy recovery while achieving high predictive accuracy for hydrochar yield and heating value.
This study characterizes the environmental factors influencing *Culicoides* emergence from tree holes in southeastern Louisiana, identifying specific tree species and habitat conditions that favor midge production while finding no evidence of vertical transmission of EHDV or BTV in these insects.
