Growth, Yield, and Economic Performance of Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) Under Different Nutrient Management Practices in Chitwan, Nepal

This study conducted in Chitwan, Nepal, demonstrates that combining recommended fertilizer doses with either organic manure or *Rhizobium* inoculation significantly enhances mungbean yield and economic returns compared to farmers' practices or control treatments, making these integrated nutrient management strategies the most effective options for local cultivation.

Crop Yield Estimation With Help of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) & Advanced Machine Learning Techniques

This research proposes and validates an intelligent framework that combines UAV-captured RGB imagery with advanced machine learning and deep learning algorithms to accurately predict wheat crop yields, offering a superior, automated, and non-destructive alternative to traditional manual assessment methods for precision agriculture.

Calcium silicate effects on wheat phosphorus nutrition depend on phosphorus-source chemistry

This study demonstrates that the efficacy of calcium silicate amendments in enhancing wheat phosphorus nutrition is highly dependent on the chemical form of the phosphorus source, with the amendment significantly boosting growth and uptake primarily when phosphorus is supplied as hydroxyapatite or soluble KH2PO4 through plant- and rhizosphere-mediated mechanisms rather than bulk phosphate release.

Temporal application of Bacillus strains enhances growth and nutritional status of micropropagated banana plantlets

This study demonstrates that the strategic temporal application of *Bacillus* strains, particularly isolate LPPC159, significantly enhances the growth and nutritional status (N, P, K, Ca) of micropropagated banana plantlets, offering a sustainable alternative to optimize seedling production and potentially reduce reliance on conventional fertilization.

The effect of Rhizobium-field pea symbiosis on host plant quality and subsequent herbivory by the pea leaf weevil, Sitona lineatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

This study demonstrates that Rhizobium-mediated improvements in field pea nutritional quality, specifically in nitrogen-fixing (nif+) plants, significantly increase feeding preference by overwintering adult pea leaf weevils in the fall, suggesting that host nutrition rather than chemical defense drives herbivory in this physiological state.

Production potential of microalgae biomass and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters through domestic and swine wastewater phycoremediation process using Scenedesmus sp

This study demonstrates that *Scenedesmus* sp. effectively treats domestic and swine wastewater by removing significant levels of pollutants while simultaneously producing biomass rich in lipids, proteins, and diverse Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs), thereby establishing a circular phycoremediation process for high-value bioproduct generation.

Beyond Crop Diversification: Six Decades of Agricultural Water Footprint Dynamics in the Western Himalayas

This study analyzes six decades of agricultural water footprint dynamics in Jammu and Kashmir, revealing that the significant 337.5% increase in total water use from 1960 to 2021 is driven overwhelmingly by the overall scale of agricultural production growth rather than shifts in crop composition, thereby reframing the region's water sustainability challenge as a need to manage aggregate demand rather than simply substituting crops.

Physicochemical, Nutritional, Microbiological, and Sensory Evaluation of Composite Noodles from Orange-Fleshed Sweet Potato, Wheat Flour, and Egg Protein

This study demonstrates that incorporating orange-fleshed sweet potato flour and egg protein into wheat-based noodles significantly enhances their nutritional density, particularly in vitamin A and protein, while maintaining acceptable cooking properties, microbial safety, and sensory preference, with a formulation containing 10% OFSP flour identified as the optimal balance for addressing malnutrition in Rwanda.
