This study validates that cold plasma treatment (20 kV for 15 minutes) acts as an effective mild stressor to enhance physiological parameters, accelerate growth, and improve yield in rice varieties, with optimal results observed in dry 'Tellahamsa' seeds and sprouted 'RNR15048' seeds under field conditions.
Conducted in Bihar, India, this study demonstrates that sustainable trash management practices, particularly trash mulching combined with *Trichoderma viride*, significantly enhance sugarcane yield, soil health, and economic profitability in calcareous soils compared to conventional control methods.
A field study in Southwest Ethiopia demonstrates that the integrated application of blended NPSB fertilizer and lime significantly enhances food barley yield and profitability, with the highest economic returns achieved at 100 kg ha⁻¹ NPSB combined with 50% lime despite maximum grain production occurring at higher rates.
A study conducted in Kavre, Nepal, demonstrates that applying zinc and boron alongside NPK fertilizers and organic manure in plastic houses during the monsoon season significantly enhances tomato yield, quality, and economic profitability.
This study establishes a comprehensive conservation strategy for the threatened medicinal herb *Fritillaria cirrhosa* by identifying optimal dormancy-breaking protocols using 150 ppm GA₃ and 90-day chilling, alongside effective *in vitro* regeneration methods using specific hormone combinations to enable sustainable ex situ propagation.
A three-year study in Niger demonstrated that increasing planting density to 100,000 plants per hectare significantly boosted grain yield and reduced downy mildew across four pearl millet varieties, with the SOSAT-C88 variety at this highest density identified as the optimal combination for maximizing production under Sahelian conditions.
This study demonstrates that optimizing solid-state fermentation of Rwandan wheat bran using *Lactiplantibacillus plantarum* at approximately 72 hours, 38.3°C, and 56.5% moisture significantly enhances its nutritional and functional properties, offering a viable strategy to improve its utility as a food ingredient.
This study presents PRVSR, a vegetation-aware framework that reconstructs high-fidelity hyperspectral images from low-cost UAV RGB data using PROSAIL-based refinement and a specialized training strategy, enabling accurate rice leaf area index estimation that outperforms traditional RGB-only methods.
This study reveals a temporal shift in the genetic basis of viral resistance in U.S. winter wheat breeding germplasm, where traditional major genes have been replaced by novel loci on chromosomes 4A, 7A, and 7D, suggesting an evolving viral disease complex dominated by Triticum mosaic virus that current resistance strategies may no longer effectively address.
This study developed and characterized antioxidant edible films enhanced with 0.75 wt% Centella asiatica leaf powder, demonstrating that freeze-drying yields superior films with higher antioxidant capacity (70 µg) and improved shelf-life stability for tomatoes compared to sun-dried and control variants.
