Physiological and anatomical modifications of exotic weed (goat grass), wheat and Egyptian grassy weeds (wild oat and canary grass) under chemical weed control condition

This study evaluates the physiological and anatomical responses of the exotic goat grass compared to local Egyptian weeds (wild oat and canary grass) to ten herbicide treatments, revealing that while local weeds are generally more sensitive, specific herbicides (T4, T6, T8, and T10) effectively reduce chlorophyll content and root size in the more resistant goat grass.

A Data Analytics Framework for Rainfall-driven Water Quality and Nutrient Retention Risk Assessment in Farm Systems

This study presents and validates a novel Nutrient Retention and Dilution Index (NRDI) framework that integrates satellite-derived environmental data with high-frequency water quality measurements to generate daily nutrient transport risk classifications, thereby enhancing evidence-based fertilizer management in agricultural systems.

The intercropping of fava bean with winter wheat enhances the crop performance and the soil biogeochemical nutrient cycling under contrasting nitrogen inputs

This study demonstrates that intercropping fava beans with winter wheat enhances land productivity and soil nitrogen cycling, particularly under zero nitrogen fertilization, by leveraging complementary water and nutrient use to maintain yields while reducing external inputs.

Physicochemical, Nutritional, and Sensory Evaluation of Chocolate Formulated with Coconut Oil as a Cocoa Butter Substitute

This study demonstrates that coconut oil can effectively serve as a cocoa butter substitute in chocolate formulations, with varying substitution levels (25% to 100%) yielding products that maintain acceptable physicochemical, nutritional, and sensory qualities while exhibiting altered texture, melting points, and reduced antinutritional content.

Comparative Entomocidal effects of seed and leaf extracts of Azadirachta indica and Jatropha curcas against Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) under laboratory conditions

This laboratory study demonstrates that aqueous seed and leaf extracts of *Azadirachta indica* and *Jatropha curcas*, particularly the former, exhibit significant larvicidal activity against Fall armyworm by achieving high mortality rates and prolonging larval development, offering a promising eco-friendly alternative to synthetic insecticides.
