Production Continuity as a Correlate of Household Milk Yield in Agro-Pastoral Cow and Camel Systems: Evidence from the 2022 Somalia Integrated Household Budget Survey

Analysis of the 2022 Somalia Integrated Household Budget Survey reveals that the number of months a household produces milk is a significant positive correlate of monthly yield in both cow and camel agro-pastoral systems, with production duration proving to be a more consistent predictor of yield than species identity.

Long-Term Crop Rotation and Tillage Shape Source–Sink Dynamics and Yield Formation in Dryland Wheat

This eight-year study demonstrates that long-term conservation agriculture enhances dryland wheat productivity not merely by increasing total biomass, but by optimizing the temporal coordination between source availability and sink demand through specific combinations of preceding crops and tillage systems.

Integrated in vitro and screenhouse evaluation of indigenous fungal antagonists against Fusarium wilt of Corchorus olitorius L

This study demonstrates that an indigenous *Trichoderma harzianum* isolate effectively inhibits *Fusarium oxysporum* and reduces disease severity while promoting the growth of *Corchorus olitorius* in both *in vitro* and screenhouse trials, though further molecular and field validation is needed before practical application.

Optimization of carotenoid production by Rhodotorula mucilaginosa using sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate as carbon source and mutagen ethyl methanesulfonate for biosynthesis of antioxidant

This study demonstrates that ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis of *Rhodotorula mucilaginosa* combined with sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate as a carbon source significantly enhances carotenoid production and antioxidant activity, offering a sustainable strategy for converting agricultural waste into high-value antioxidants.

Delayed seed germination and inhibited shoot emergence in glutinous corn (Zea mays L.) due to induced drought stress

This study demonstrates that while induced drought stress delays germination and inhibits shoot and root growth in glutinous corn, seed priming—particularly with 12-hour hydropriming or 8-hour potassium nitrate treatment—significantly improves germination rates and seedling vigor, with hydropriming recommended for its accessibility and effectiveness.

CNN Backbones with PCA and Gaussian Membership Function Pipelines for Maize Pest Identification: A Comparative Accuracy-Efficiency Study

This study demonstrates that while VGG16 with PCA and Gaussian Membership Function pipelines achieves the highest accuracy for maize pest identification, the EfficientNet-B0 variant offers the optimal balance between predictive performance and computational efficiency, making it ideal for developing accessible agricultural tools.
