Regulation of extractable P, K, and Mg levels in soils based on nutrient balance results for use in agricultural management systems

This meta-analysis of European long-term field trials demonstrates that simplified nutrient balances are effective for managing extractable soil phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium levels, with clay content identified as the primary factor determining the specific nutrient balance required to maintain stable soil concentrations across different soil types.

Cover Crops and Wheat Middlings Alter Soil-Plant Nutrient Dynamics Following Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation in an Organic Tomato System

This two-year field study demonstrates that combining a triticale and crimson clover cover crop mixture with wheat middlings during anaerobic soil disinfestation creates the most balanced strategy for enhancing soil nutrient cycling, suppressing weeds, and promoting tomato growth in organic production systems.

Effect of Foliar Application of Potassium Nitrate and Potassium Sulphate on Horticultural Traits and Nutrient Uptake in Guava cv. Allahabad Safeda

A field experiment conducted in north-western India during 2024-25 demonstrated that foliar application of 2.0% potassium nitrate significantly outperformed potassium sulphate and higher concentrations in enhancing yield, fruit quality, and nutrient uptake in guava cv. Allahabad Safeda, making it the recommended treatment for sub-tropical conditions.

Hematological physiology and immune responses of largemouth bass to trypanosome infection : insights based on integrated hematological and transcriptome analysis

This study reveals that trypanosome infection in largemouth bass causes severe anemia and thrombocytosis while triggering a dynamic immune response characterized by initial immunosuppression, followed by the activation of cell-mediated immunity and a subsequent robust humoral response.

Pesticide Residues in Mangoes from Makueni County, Kenya: Multi-Analytical Characterization, Post-Harvest Reduction, and Farmer Practice Implications for Food Safety

This study evaluates pesticide residues in Makueni County mangoes through multi-analytical characterization and farmer practice surveys, revealing that while detected levels remain below safety limits, washing and peeling offer partial mitigation and highlight the need for improved extension services and integrated pest management to address knowledge gaps and ensure food safety.

Evaluation of Tomato Juice-Supplemented Extender Formulations for Liquid Preservation of Red Sokoto Buck Semen

This study demonstrates that supplementing extender formulations with tomato juice, particularly in a combination with sodium citrate and egg yolk (TJSCEY), significantly enhances the short-term liquid preservation quality of Red Sokoto buck semen by maintaining high sperm viability and low mortality over 72 hours.

Environment-dependent genetic architecture of seed vigor reveals antagonistic allelic effects under water deficit in rapeseed (Brassica napus)

This study elucidates the complex, environment-dependent genetic architecture of seed vigor in rapeseed by identifying 22 QTLs and revealing antagonistic allelic effects where favorable alleles under water deficit become unfavorable under optimal conditions, thereby providing new targets for breeding varieties with improved germination in water-limited environments.

Sustainable Nutrient Management Practices for Pearl Millet Wheat Cropping Systems in Coarse Textured Soils

Field experiments conducted in Haryana from 2018 to 2021 demonstrate that an integrated nutrient management strategy combining 15 t FYM/ha, 50% recommended dose of fertilizers, and biofertilizers significantly outperforms sole organic or inorganic applications by maximizing pearl millet and wheat yields while enhancing soil organic carbon and nutrient availability in coarse-textured soils.
