This study demonstrates that *Bacillus amyloliquefaciens* TL6 effectively controls peanut early leaf spot caused by *Passalora arachidicola* through the secretion of metabolites that damage fungal cell membranes, inhibit ergosterol biosynthesis, and disrupt protein synthesis, achieving biocontrol efficacy comparable to the chemical fungicide carbendazim.
This paper proposes an AI-driven UAV swarm framework that utilizes synthetic datasets to simulate desert farming conditions, achieving 100% stress detection and 98.9% prediction confidence to enable precision monitoring and resource optimization in arid environments.
This study utilizes a Box–Behnken design to optimize the solar-powered hydrothermal carbonization of mixed rice husk and food waste, demonstrating that moderate temperatures and intermediate blending ratios maximize energy recovery while achieving high predictive accuracy for hydrochar yield and heating value.
This study characterizes the environmental factors influencing *Culicoides* emergence from tree holes in southeastern Louisiana, identifying specific tree species and habitat conditions that favor midge production while finding no evidence of vertical transmission of EHDV or BTV in these insects.
This study demonstrates that seed and leaf extracts of *Azadirachta indica* and *Jatropha curcas*, particularly the seed extract of neem, effectively reduce Fall armyworm infestation and leaf damage while significantly increasing maize grain yield compared to untreated controls, suggesting their potential as viable alternatives to synthetic insecticides.
This greenhouse study demonstrates that while integrating the predatory mite *Neoseiulus californicus* with other biological agents or the acaricide bifenazate effectively suppresses cyclamen mites in strawberries, the standalone application of *N. californicus* is the most recommended strategy due to its equivalent efficacy combined with superior cost-effectiveness and sustainability.
This study integrates metagenomics and untargeted metabolomics to elucidate how *Liquorilactobacillus nagelii* drives distinct metabolic pathways and acid profiles in lychee kefir, revealing that backslopping fermentation enhances acidity and specific metabolite formation compared to traditional methods.
This study demonstrates that locally available agro-waste substrates significantly influence the yield and nutritional profile of oyster mushrooms in northern Uganda, with maize cob/straw mixtures maximizing yield and protein content while banana fibre/leaf mixtures enhance vitamin levels, offering a sustainable strategy to combat food insecurity.
This study demonstrates that warming vitrified canine epididymal spermatozoa at 37°C for 2 minutes, using a coconut water and egg yolk extender, yields significantly better post-thaw motility, viability, and morphology compared to warming at 42°C.
This study identifies that despite high smartphone access and familiarity with standard operating procedures, effective phytosanitary implementation in Tanzania's agricultural sector is hindered by insufficient training, limited resources, and inconsistent adherence to protocols at major border entry points, necessitating strengthened capacity building and resource allocation to mitigate pest and disease risks.
