Reproductive and productive performance of indigenous sheep type under smallholder management system in Gurage area, Central Ethiopia

This study evaluates the reproductive and productive performance of indigenous sheep in the Gurage area of Central Ethiopia, revealing that while non-genetic factors like agro-ecology and season significantly influence growth traits, the population possesses substantial potential for genetic improvement through community-based breeding programs and enhanced management practices.

Willingness to Vaccinate and Pay for Foot-and-Mouth Disease Vaccines: Perspectives of Cattle Farmers and Policy Implications in Uganda

Although Ugandan cattle farmers demonstrate a high willingness to vaccinate against Foot-and-Mouth Disease, actual uptake is significantly constrained by high vaccine costs, unreliable supply, and knowledge gaps, necessitating context-specific policy interventions such as subsidies and improved sensitization to enhance coverage.

Integrative Multivariate Analysis of Pisum sativum L. Genotypes Using Agro-Morphological Traits under Contrasting Semi-Arid Highland Agro-Ecosystems

This study evaluates eleven pea genotypes across contrasting Yemeni highland environments using multivariate analysis to identify significant genetic variability and superior performers, specifically Yahsb and Amran, whose yield is driven by environment-dependent traits such as seed weight and pod length.

A case report of ossifying fibroma in a 3-month-old arabian foal

This case report describes a rare instance of ossifying fibroma in a 3-month-old Arabian foal, highlighting that while early diagnosis allows for successful surgical treatment, the tumor's massive extension in this case led to regrowth and necessitated euthanasia, underscoring the critical importance of early examination of head masses in young animals.

Crop phenological age and host–plant traits structure arthropod assemblages in Solanum melongena under a staggered cohort design (SCD)

By employing a staggered planting design to decouple plant ontogeny from meteorological variation, this study demonstrates that eggplant phenological age and associated host-plant traits are primary drivers structuring arthropod assemblages, with herbivore and predator abundances shifting predictably across vegetative and reproductive stages.

Improving Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Yield through Split Nitrogen Fertilizer Application and Optimal Row Spacing: Implications for Food Security

A field study in Punjab, Pakistan, demonstrates that combining a 20 cm row spacing with a three-stage split nitrogen application schedule (at tillering, booting, and grain filling) significantly maximizes wheat grain yield and yield components, offering a practical strategy for enhancing food security in irrigated, alkaline-loam soil systems.

Optimization of Uav-Based Herbicidal Dose and Spray Volume for Weed Dynamics, Energy Efficiency and Carbon Footprint in Bread Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.)

Conducted in Jammu, India, this study demonstrates that applying a full recommended dose of Pyroxasulfone followed by Sulfosulfuron + Metsulfuron-methyl via drone at a low spray volume of 25 l/ha optimizes weed control, grain yield, energy productivity, and carbon efficiency while maximizing net returns for bread wheat cultivation.

Salicylic acid-mediated drought tolerance in tea (Camellia sinensis L.): Integrating physiological, biochemical, and multivariate analyses with field validation

This study demonstrates that foliar application of salicylic acid (1.0 mM) significantly enhances drought resilience and green leaf yield in tea clones by improving photosynthetic efficiency, osmotic adjustment, and membrane stability, outperforming other tested regulators and validating its efficacy as a practical intervention for climate-resilient tea production.
