Effects Of Dietary Moringa Seedcake, Folic Acid And Zinc Oxide Supplementation on Haematological and Biochemical Indices of Weaned Rabbits

This study found that while dietary supplementation with folic acid, zinc oxide, and moringa seedcake had limited overall effects on the haematological and biochemical indices of weaned rabbits, specific levels of folic acid and zinc oxide significantly influenced plateletcrit and haematocrit respectively, and a significant interaction between moringa seedcake and zinc oxide affected globulin concentration.

When data lie: correcting a conflict variable reverses a significant finding in Chad's agricultural time series (1961–2024)

This paper demonstrates that correcting a miscoded conflict variable in Chad's 1961–2024 agricultural data reverses a previously significant finding of a positive conflict effect on millet yields, revealing instead that climate variability (SPI) drives differentiated crop responses and underscoring the critical need for systematic data verification in applied research.

Chemical mutation of Stichococcus sp. for the selection of strains with lower chlorophyll content and higher biomass production

This study utilized ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis to select a *Stichococcus* sp. mutant strain (EMS1) with significantly reduced chlorophyll content, which subsequently demonstrated enhanced biomass, lipid, and carbohydrate production compared to the wild type, addressing light penetration limitations in large-scale photobioreactors.

Yield Stability, Profitability, and Greenhouse Gas Footprint of Direct-Seeded Aus Rice Varieties in Bangladesh

This study demonstrates that dry direct-seeded cultivation of specific Aus rice varieties, particularly BRRI dhan98 and BRRI dhan75, across Bangladesh's major growing regions significantly enhances grain yield and farm profitability while maintaining or reducing greenhouse gas intensity compared to traditional farmers' checks.

Breeding maize genotypes for fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) resistance through conventional approaches: A systematic review

This systematic review, following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, evaluates conventional breeding approaches for fall armyworm resistance in maize within Sub-Saharan Africa, identifying significant progress through methods like recurrent selection and backcrossing while highlighting critical constraints such as limited funding and infrastructure that must be addressed to sustain smallholder food security.
