This study demonstrates that pre-treating the Ukai maize cultivar with gibberellin (GA₃) under drought stress yields concentration-specific effects, where 200 mg/L optimizes seedling growth while higher concentrations (400–600 mg/L) enhance germination percentage at the expense of seedling elongation.
This study develops an Environment-Driven Dynamic Growth Model (ED-DGM) based on the Richards function and key environmental factors to significantly improve the prediction accuracy of *Pleurotus citrinopileatus* growth in containerized cultivation, thereby enabling precision control and automation in intelligent mushroom production systems.
This study demonstrates that integrating cocoa pod ash application with educational outreach effectively reduces lead and chromium bioavailability in tropical vegetable farming, although financial constraints and limited market access remain significant barriers to widespread adoption.
This study confirms Newcastle disease as a major constraint to poultry production in Modjo, Ethiopia, by characterizing its distinct clinical and pathological manifestations and validating active viral infections through rRT-PCR analysis of outbreak samples.
This study reports the first confirmed case in South America of fatal *Sarcocystis neurona*-induced meningoencephalomyelitis and myositis in a Brazilian dog, expanding the known host range of the parasite and underscoring its importance as a differential diagnosis for progressive neurological disease in canines.
This study presents a mobile Edge AI framework utilizing an EfficientNet-Lite model to achieve 94.6% accuracy in real-time detection of seven major maize and cassava diseases, offering a practical, low-cost diagnostic tool for smallholder farmers in Nigeria.
This study proposes a robust, real-time deep learning framework that integrates a ViT-CBAM architecture with MSRCR illumination normalization and multi-space color feature engineering to achieve high-accuracy, automated recognition of tobacco leaf maturity for precision agriculture.
This mixed-methods study identifies key barriers to household food security for subsistence farmers in Mamokgadi Village, South Africa—including limited market access, financial constraints, water scarcity, and climate change—and recommends policy interventions such as drought-resistant crops, water conservation, and climate education to enhance resilience.
This study proposes a three-stage "Value Ladder" model—comprising Restoration, Upgrading, and Co-creation—to guide resource-constrained bio-based SMEs in progressively developing circular capabilities and transforming waste streams into value-generating assets through an evolutionary capability-building process.
This paper reports a rare case of a fetal pig with a Bochdalek hernia accompanied by multiple severe malformations, including pulmonary hypoplasia, a horseshoe kidney, and cryptorchidism, presenting a complex phenotype analogous to human Fryns syndrome.
