Optimizing Sowing Date, Irrigation Scheduling and Nitrogen Management for Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.): Two-Year Pooled Analysis and DSSAT-CERES-Wheat Model Evaluation for the Vindhyan Zone

This two-year study in the Vindhyan Zone demonstrates that sowing wheat on November 20 with four irrigations and 160 kg N ha⁻¹ maximizes yield and profitability, while the calibrated DSSAT-CERES-Wheat model accurately simulates these outcomes, validating its utility as a decision-support tool for regional wheat management.

Welfare gradients in global animal-source food consumption reveal that aquatic foods are critical for poor households

An analysis of over 1.2 million households across 57 low- and middle-income countries reveals that aquatic foods are the most accessible and budget-significant animal-source food for the poorest households, serving as a critical nutritional foundation that is often replaced by other meats and dairy only as household welfare improves.

Challenges of Microalgae Integration in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems: Bridging Potential and Practice

This review evaluates the potential and current limitations of integrating microalgae into recirculating aquaculture systems, concluding that while they offer significant benefits for water quality, nutrition, and sustainability, their commercial scalability remains hindered by high energy costs, harvesting difficulties, and operational instability, restricting adoption largely to pilot-scale and niche applications.

Germination Response of Smoke Water Treatment in Buckwheat Fagopyrum esculentum Seeds

This study demonstrates that smoke water derived from paddy straw, neem, and mango significantly influences the germination and early seedling vigor of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) in a manner that is strongly dependent on both the plant source and the treatment concentration.

Decoding Historical Breeding Strategies from Expected Progeny Distributions of Past Crosses: Retrospective Genomic Analysis of Japanese Citrus Breeding

This study establishes a retrospective genomic analysis framework using expected progeny distributions to quantitatively decode historical Japanese citrus breeding strategies, revealing how selection intensity and dominance effects shaped modern cultivars and highlighting the pivotal role of the 'Kiyomi' parent despite its unfavorable trait values.

Mathematical modelling of thin-layer drying kinetics of Matricaria pubescens leaves

This study investigates the thin-layer drying kinetics of *Matricaria pubescens* leaves at varying temperatures and air velocities, identifying the Midilli and Kucuk model as the most accurate predictor and revealing a temperature-dependent drying process with an activation energy of 80.18 kJ/mol.

Towards Intelligent Disease Phenotyping in Peach: A Deep Feature Extraction Framework for Leaf Disease Detection Under Real Field Conditions

This study presents a deep learning framework for detecting peach leaf diseases under real field conditions, demonstrating that an Inception-V4 model trained from scratch achieves superior accuracy (97.50%) compared to transfer learning-based architectures like ResNet-50 and VGG-16.

The Role of Production System Readiness in Shaping Intention Behavior Pathways During Organic Farming Transition

Based on panel data from 1,077 Vietnamese farming households, this study reveals that production-system readiness—specifically factors like fertilizer dependence, irrigation investment, and climate resilience—is a more critical determinant of successful organic farming transitions than socioeconomic attributes or initial intentions alone.

Advanced Mitigation of Potato Virus Y Using Bentonite-Derived Nanoclay for Viral Suppression and Enhanced Plant Defense

This study demonstrates that pre-inoculation treatment with 3% bentonite-derived nanoclay, particularly via a combined foliar and soil application, effectively mitigates Potato Virus Y infection in potato plants by suppressing viral accumulation and oxidative stress while enhancing antioxidant defense mechanisms.
