Determining the Optimum Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilizer Combination for Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under Farmers' Field Conditions in Hulla District, Sidama Region, Ethiopia

This study conducted in Ethiopia's Hulla District demonstrates that while the highest wheat grain yield was achieved with 207 kg N and 92 kg P₂O₅ per hectare, the economically optimum fertilizer combination for maximizing net benefits under acidic soil conditions is 115 kg N and 92 kg P₂O₅ per hectare.

Studies on storage stability and quality attributes of jamun (Syzygium cumini L.)  jam under different packaging materials

A 2025–26 study conducted at G D Goenka University evaluated seven packaging materials for jamun jam stored over 150 days, revealing that multilayer pouches (T7) provided superior retention of physicochemical, nutritional, and sensory quality compared to other options, while HDPE jars (T3) resulted in the most significant deterioration.

Integrated Assessment of Potentially Toxic Elements Fluxes in Paddy Agroecosystems of Dry Zone: From Fertilizer Inputs to Soil Transformation and Grain-Level Bioaccumulation

This study identifies contaminated Triple Superphosphate fertilizers as the primary source of cadmium and other potentially toxic elements in Sri Lanka's CKDu-endemic dry zone paddy soils, demonstrating significant bioaccumulation in rice grains and establishing a spatially explicit link between fertilizer-derived cadmium exposure and chronic renal disease risks.

Short- and long-term effects of dapagliflozin as an adjunct to insulin therapy in diabetic dogs: A pilot study

This pilot study demonstrates that adjunctive dapagliflozin therapy in insulin-treated diabetic dogs significantly improves short- and long-term glycemic control and reduces specific metabolic and cardiovascular markers with a generally favorable safety profile, despite requiring dietary adjustments to manage weight loss.

Microbial engineering of flavour compounds from African oil bean seed (AOBS) (Pentaclethra macrophylla)

This study demonstrates that fermenting African oil bean seeds with specific mono- and mixed-cultures of *Bacillus subtilis* and *Lactobacillus fermentum* enhances the production of distinct flavor compounds, such as fatty acids, aldehydes, and esters, while offering a safer alternative to traditional fermentation which contains pathogenic microorganisms.

Artificial Intelligence-Based Prediction of Bioremediation of Crude Oil-Contaminated Soil

This study demonstrates that a Multilayer Perceptron Artificial Neural Network, trained on kinetic spline-augmented data from field samples, outperforms other machine learning models in accurately predicting and classifying the efficiency of crude oil bioremediation, with SHAP analysis identifying oil and grease concentration as the primary determinant of remediation outcomes.

Integrating Stock Assessment and Sustainability Strategies for the Blue Swimming Crab in Indonesian Small-Scale Fisheries

This study reveals that the blue swimming crab population in Tangkolak Hamlet, Indonesia, is severely overexploited due to fishing pressures exceeding sustainable thresholds, necessitating immediate management interventions such as enforcing minimum catch sizes and protecting breeding females to ensure long-term sustainability.

Exploring The Role of Botanical Extracts in Plant Disease Management

This study demonstrates that leaf extracts from *Calotropis procera*, *Ailanthus altissima*, *Lantana camara*, and *Annona squamosa*, along with *Annona squamosa* seed kernel oil, exhibit antifungal activity against *Sarclodium oryzae* but not *Rhizoctonia solani*, suggesting that their efficacy may stem from a synergistic relationship between bioactive compounds and dominant bacterial flora, thereby highlighting their potential as sustainable biocontrol agents in agriculture.

Antioxidant enzymes and molecular responses of purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) subjected to mannitol under salt stress conditions

This study demonstrates that exogenous application of mannitol, particularly at 30 mM, significantly alleviates salinity-induced oxidative damage and growth inhibition in purslane by enhancing antioxidant enzyme activities, reducing lipid peroxidation, and upregulating stress-responsive phenylpropanoid pathway genes.
