This study demonstrates that a Gradient Boosting model, utilizing geospatial and climatic data, significantly outperforms traditional machine learning approaches in accurately predicting regional water stress categories across Indian agriculture by effectively capturing complex relationships between diverse predictors.
This systematic literature review synthesizes evidence demonstrating that agricultural technology can effectively attract youth to farming by enhancing productivity and prestige, while emphasizing that successful adoption depends on digital literacy, infrastructure, and institutional support, ultimately proposing an integrated theoretical framework to guide future research and policy for sustainable agricultural regeneration.
This nationwide study in India reveals widespread contamination of soil and water by synthetic agrochemicals, particularly Azoxystrobin and β-endosulfan, highlighting the urgent need for monitoring and transitioning to biopesticide solutions to mitigate ecological and human health risks.
This review synthesizes global advancements in sunflower hybrid breeding, including genomic selection and multi-environment testing, to identify critical technological gaps and propose strategic investments in CMS infrastructure and advanced breeding tools to enhance climate resilience and productivity in Tanzania.
This case report documents the successful diagnosis and treatment of a rare concurrent triple parasitic infection involving *Ctenocephalides canis*, *Rhipicephalus sanguineus*, and *Toxocara canis* in a dog from Bangladesh. The diagnosis was confirmed through both gross examination and detailed stereomicroscopic morphological identification using the characteristic features of each parasite. Published reports describing concurrent infection with *Ctenocephalides canis*, *Rhipicephalus sanguineus*, and *Toxocara canis* in a single dog remain scarce. The report highlights the clinical efficacy of a regimen where the dog received a single oral combination product containing sarolaner, moxidectin, and pyrantel pamoate, together with supportive care. Sarolaner eliminated fleas and ticks—vectors for dangerous diseases such as ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever—while moxidectin and pyrantel pamoate treated the intestinal roundworm infection. The study emphasizes the importance of routine screening to mitigate zoonotic risks, as *Toxocara canis* can infect humans when infective eggs from contaminated environments are accidentally ingested, potentially causing visceral or ocular toxocariasis.
A two-year field study conducted in Egypt's Nubaria region demonstrates that foliar application of biostimulants, particularly Blue Green Algae, significantly enhances the growth performance, photosynthetic pigments, forage yield, and nutritional quality of oat varieties cultivated in newly reclaimed sandy soils compared to untreated controls.
This study utilized a multi-environment genome-wide association study on 1,399 elite oat lines to identify 39 stable, pleiotropic SNP markers and 23 QTL hubs that simultaneously control agronomic performance, grain quality, and mineral or heavy-metal concentrations, offering new targets for biofortification and heavy-metal exclusion in oat breeding.
This study demonstrates that a machine learning pipeline combining unsupervised clustering techniques, specifically Constrained Unsupervised Learning (CUL) with Principal Component Analysis, can achieve near-perfect accuracy and significantly faster processing speeds than traditional morphological methods for the automated sorting and categorization of somatic embryos in industrial fluidics systems.
This study demonstrates that while varying NAA concentrations significantly influenced most growth parameters and all tested auxin treatments yielded a profitable benefit-cost ratio greater than one, soaking duration had a limited effect, collectively providing new insights for optimizing sugarcane bud chip propagation under screenhouse conditions.
This study demonstrates that sequential fermentation of bamboo shoot processing wastewater using *Lactobacillus fermentum* and a Kombucha consortium effectively converts waste into a functional antioxidant-rich beverage and bacterial cellulose through cross-kingdom metabolic cooperation that drives the accumulation of specific bioactive compounds.
