This study demonstrates that applying rice-husk biochar at 2–4% significantly enhances the growth and physiological performance of *Artemisia absinthium* and *Silybum marianum* in coal mine waste, with *A. absinthium* proving particularly suitable for heavily degraded substrates due to its linear response to biochar amendments.
This study analyzes the spatial distribution and locational correlates of aquaculture in Nyeri County, Kenya, revealing that while registered farmers are evenly distributed, production units are highly clustered near water sources with significant disparities in pond area across sub-counties, highlighting the need for georeferenced data to improve targeted management and support services.
Based on a study of 400 households in West Wollega, Ethiopia, this paper finds that while over 60% of smallholder farmers have adopted soybean technologies, their adoption and intensity are significantly driven by factors such as education, cooperative membership, and extension services, highlighting the critical need for strengthened institutional support to boost productivity and income.
A field experiment conducted in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, demonstrated that the combined application of 20 kg ha⁻¹ soil iron with foliar sprays and 20 kg ha⁻¹ soil zinc with seed inoculation and foliar sprays significantly enhanced the growth, yield, and biofortification potential of mungbean varieties GM 7 and GM 4, offering an effective agronomic strategy for improving crop productivity and nutritional security in arid regions.
This quantitative systematic review of 184 studies demonstrates that integrating pan-genomics, advanced molecular breeding tools, synthetic biology, and AI-driven phenomics is essential for overcoming yield plateaus and developing climate-resilient wheat varieties.
This study demonstrates that *Panonychus citri* populations adapted to soybean exhibit significantly enhanced fitness and population growth potential compared to citrus-adapted populations, confirming soybean as a highly suitable host that contributes to the pest's outbreak mechanisms.
This study quantifies the mass flows and characterizes the physicochemical properties of three residual biomass byproducts from *Azadirachta indica* biopesticide production, demonstrating their high organic matter and specific compositional traits that support their potential valorization through fermentation, anaerobic digestion, composting, or vermicomposting.
This study demonstrates that the bread wheat cultivar Pakistan 2013 exhibits superior drought tolerance compared to Gomal 2008 in semi-arid soils by maintaining higher tissue hydration, chlorophyll content, and antioxidant enzyme activity while accumulating protective osmolytes and reducing membrane damage under water stress.
This study demonstrates that *Ziziphus spina-christi* significantly enhances soil fertility beneath its canopy and contributes 5.5% to household income in Ethiopia's semi-arid Sekota district, highlighting its dual role in environmental sustainability and rural livelihoods.
This study demonstrates that sustained semen collection in ganders significantly improves semen quality by stabilizing the seminal milieu, reducing oxidative stress, and promoting beneficial metabolic and microbial profiles compared to non-collection periods.
