An organic-based amendments with biochar and rabbit urine improve maize (Zea mays L.) growth, physiology, and soil microbial activity in acidic soils of Cameroon

This study demonstrates that applying biochar enriched with rabbit urine, either alone or in combination with NPK fertilizer, significantly enhances maize growth, physiological performance, and soil microbial activity in the acidic soils of Cameroon, offering a sustainable and low-cost alternative to conventional mineral fertilization.

Protective efficacy of recombinant SpPTP against Strongyloides papillosus infection in goats

This study demonstrates that the recombinant SpPTP protein from *Strongyloides papillosus* acts as a promising vaccine candidate for goats, eliciting significant systemic and mucosal immune responses that result in partial protection against infection, evidenced by reduced egg hatching rates, fecal egg counts, and adult worm burdens.

Synergistic and Independent Intestinal Effects of Curcumin, Green Tea, Garlic Extracts, and Ciprofloxacin in Broilers Experimentally Infected with Escherichia coli O78

This study demonstrates that combining curcumin, green tea, and garlic extracts with a reduced dose of ciprofloxacin provides superior protection against *E. coli* O78-induced colibacillosis in broilers compared to monotherapies, effectively eliminating mortality and bacterial loads while offering a promising strategy for antibiotic reduction.

Mechanism by which cinnamic acid regulates the fungal community structure in the rhizosphere soil and exacerbates soil-borne diseases in Lanzhou lily under consecutive replant conditions: a case study of Lanzhou lily wilt disease

This study demonstrates that cinnamic acid exacerbates Lanzhou lily wilt under consecutive replant conditions by promoting pathogen proliferation and altering soil properties, which indirectly reshapes the rhizosphere fungal community to favor pathogenic genera over beneficial ones.

Root Architectural Responses Mediate Productivity under Balanced Nitrogen and Magnesium Nutrition in Greenhouse-Grown Asparagus

This study demonstrates that balanced nitrogen and magnesium nutrition enhances greenhouse asparagus productivity by coordinating root system development with physiological performance, shifting the driver of yield from shoot-dependent traits in the first harvest to root-mediated architecture in the second.
