Development and field evaluation of a precision inter-row herbicide applicator for improving herbicide application efficiency, crop safety and weed management in vegetable pea (Pisum sativum L.)

A two-year field study in India demonstrates that using a precision inter-row herbicide applicator (IRHA) for sequential pendimethalin and imazethapyr application significantly improves weed control, crop safety, green pod yield, and economic returns in vegetable pea compared to conventional post-emergence spraying methods.

Mapping the Sustainability Transition in Liquid and Water-Soluble Fertilizer Research: A Scopus-Based Bibliometric Analysis (2021-2026)

This Scopus-based bibliometric analysis of 201 documents from 2021 to 2026 reveals that while liquid and water-soluble fertilizer research is conceptually converging on sustainability and circular economy themes, the field remains institutionally fragmented with modest international collaboration, highlighting a need for coordinated efforts to advance resource-efficient nutrient management aligned with global sustainability goals.

Fragmentation and depolymerization of conventional and biodegradable microplastics in Eisenia fetida and Eisenia andrei

This study demonstrates that while gut passage through *Eisenia* earthworms significantly fragments and chemically alters polyethylene, polybutylene, and polylactic acid microplastics, the biodegradable polymer (PLA) causes the most severe chemical degradation and earthworm mortality, indicating it is not necessarily the safer option in agricultural soils over short exposure periods.

Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Tagetes erecta Flower Extract: Structural Characterization and Dose-Dependent Antifungal Efficacy Against Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani of chickpea

This study demonstrates that silver nanoparticles green-synthesized using *Tagetes erecta* flower extract exhibit strong, dose-dependent antifungal activity against *Fusarium oxysporum* and *Rhizoctonia solani* in both *in vitro* and pot culture settings, achieving efficacy comparable to the commercial fungicide azoxystrobin and offering a promising eco-friendly alternative for managing chickpea soil-borne diseases.
