By employing a staggered planting design to decouple plant ontogeny from meteorological variation, this study demonstrates that eggplant phenological age and associated host-plant traits are primary drivers structuring arthropod assemblages, with herbivore and predator abundances shifting predictably across vegetative and reproductive stages.
A field study in Punjab, Pakistan, demonstrates that combining a 20 cm row spacing with a three-stage split nitrogen application schedule (at tillering, booting, and grain filling) significantly maximizes wheat grain yield and yield components, offering a practical strategy for enhancing food security in irrigated, alkaline-loam soil systems.
Conducted in Jammu, India, this study demonstrates that applying a full recommended dose of Pyroxasulfone followed by Sulfosulfuron + Metsulfuron-methyl via drone at a low spray volume of 25 l/ha optimizes weed control, grain yield, energy productivity, and carbon efficiency while maximizing net returns for bread wheat cultivation.
This study demonstrates that foliar application of salicylic acid (1.0 mM) significantly enhances drought resilience and green leaf yield in tea clones by improving photosynthetic efficiency, osmotic adjustment, and membrane stability, outperforming other tested regulators and validating its efficacy as a practical intervention for climate-resilient tea production.
This study scientifically validates the traditional medicinal use of *Mangifera indica* (mango) leaves by characterizing their rich nutritional profile, including high protein and carbohydrate content, elevated mineral levels, and diverse bioactive phytochemicals, thereby supporting their potential application in functional foods and nutraceutical formulations for managing metabolic disorders.
This study demonstrates that integrating hyperspectral imaging with optimized machine learning models, particularly XGBoost, provides a highly accurate, rapid, and non-destructive method for detecting adulteration in various edible oils, offering a promising solution for industrial food safety and quality control.
Foliar applications of Potassium silicate and Potassium phosphite significantly enhanced Medjool date palm yield, fruit size, biochemical quality, and skin thickness while effectively reducing skin separation, whereas Copper Sulfate primarily influenced fruit coloration.
This study demonstrates that biodegradable starch–alginate–PVA hydrogel beads effectively encapsulate *Trichoderma longibrachiatum* for sustained soil release, significantly enhancing its viability, antioxidant defense mechanisms, and growth-promoting effects in *Capsicum annuum*.
This study demonstrates that while providing NOVA and Nutri-Score information significantly influenced consumers' perceived healthiness and willingness to consume various potato products in an augmented virtuality setting, it did not alter their preference ratings or create a significant interaction between product type and information condition.
This study demonstrates that a functional vegan mayonnaise enriched with 0.25% fermented grape pomace powder and formulated with sunflower oil achieves rheological and textural properties comparable to commercial full-fat mayonnaise, whereas the use of grape seed oil results in a weaker emulsion structure, highlighting the critical influence of oil type on the stability of waste-repurposed functional food products.
