This study demonstrates that the biopesticide *Trichoderma koningiopsis* Th003, applied at doses of 1.0 and 1.5 g L⁻¹, effectively reduces anthracnose severity in Hass avocado orchards in Colombia without causing phytotoxicity, supporting its integration into crop management strategies.
This study demonstrates that fishbone biochar serves as an effective circular phosphorus source for alkaline dryland soils, significantly increasing available phosphorus across Vertisol, Entisol, and Aridisol conditions, though its application requires soil-specific rate optimization to manage salinity, sodicity, and strong phosphorus retention.
This study identifies a recurring pattern of rear udder underdevelopment in Holstein and Jersey cattle across diverse geographical regions and breeds, providing preliminary evidence of a potential hereditary predisposition that warrants further genomic and pedigree-based investigation.
This study demonstrates that combining 40 µM L⁻¹ arachidonic acid elicitation with pulsed LED lighting synergistically enhances both the biomass growth and steviol glycoside production of *Stevia rebaudiana* in vertical hydroponic systems, offering a sustainable strategy for optimizing medicinal crop quality.
This study demonstrates that aqueous leaf extracts of *Vernonia amygdalina* and *Chromolaena odorata* exert concentration-dependent allelopathic effects on rice germination, where high concentrations significantly inhibit radicle and plumule growth while lower concentrations of *V. amygdalina* may promote it.
This study demonstrates that combining Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) with VIP feature selection and Random Forest algorithms enables 100% accurate classification of tea varieties and batches, as well as precise quantitative prediction of fermentation quality indicators in Pu-erh tea.
This field study on soybean grown in tropical clayey Oxisols establishes critical zinc toxicity thresholds of 13 mg dm⁻³ in soil and 76 mg kg⁻¹ in leaves, demonstrating that excessive zinc reduces grain yield and photosynthetic efficiency primarily through oxidative stress and insufficient antioxidant defense rather than nutritional imbalances.
This study demonstrates that low-dose applications of nickel and chromium lysinate complexes significantly enhance seed germination and yield traits in *Triticum aestivum* L., while iron chelates showed minimal effects and the plants successfully recovered from *Pseudomonas syringae* infection.
An analysis of 405 animal feed samples from four Burkinabè cities revealed a high prevalence (82.22%) of aflatoxin B1 contamination, with significant variability across locations and feed types, highlighting urgent needs for improved monitoring and control strategies to protect animal and public health.
This study establishes the first genome-scale breeding benchmarks for tepary bean by identifying specific genetic loci and candidate genes associated with seed nutritional and size traits under organic conditions, while demonstrating high genomic prediction accuracy for seed size and moderate accuracy for nutritional traits to guide low-input breeding efforts.
