Growth Performance of  Male Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Fingerlings Fed On-Farm Formulated and Commercial Diets Under Semi-Intensive Production System in Northwestern, Ethiopia.

This study conducted in northwestern Ethiopia demonstrates that while a commercial diet yielded the highest growth performance in male Nile tilapia fingerlings, an on-farm formulated diet (Diet 4) prepared from locally available ingredients achieved the best results among the experimental formulations, significantly outperforming other local diets.

Development and Performance Evaluation of a Vacuum-Assisted Stirred Dehumidification Machine for Stingless Bee Honey

This study developed and evaluated a compact vacuum-assisted stirred dehumidification machine that, under optimal conditions of 70°C, -80 kPa, and 60 rpm, significantly reduces the drying time of stingless bee honey from 168 to 9 hours while improving thermal efficiency and lowering energy costs to produce high-quality, shelf-stable honey.

Assessing Climate Change Impacts on Water-Limited Maize–Bean Systems in Southwestern Uganda Using APSIM

Using the calibrated APSIM model, this study demonstrates that while future climate change will significantly impact maize–bean productivity in southwestern Uganda, adopting resilient varieties like Longe 5 and integrating legumes can substantially enhance yields and food security under various climate scenarios.

Reliability Auditing and Capacity-Constrained Review for Wheat-Yield Decision Support under Temporal and Spatial Shift

This study proposes a reproducible reliability auditing and capacity-constrained review protocol for wheat-yield decision support in Kyrgyzstan, demonstrating that freezing model routing and strategically reviewing high-drift regions significantly mitigates temporal and spatial performance degradation compared to standard validation methods.

Identification of Mancozeb-Tolerant and Phosphate-Solubilizing Fungal Bioagents for the Management of Fusarium Wilt of Chilli

This study identifies the mancozeb-tolerant, phosphate-solubilizing fungus *Trichoderma virens* (isolate SHO-13) as a highly effective bioagent that, when integrated with mancozeb, significantly reduces Fusarium wilt incidence and enhances chilli plant growth and yield.

UMAF: A Unified Multi-Matrix Analytical Framework for Interpretable Crop-Yield Modelling

This paper proposes UMAF, a unified multi-matrix analytical framework that enhances the interpretability of crop-yield modeling by quantifying marginal, proportional, interaction, and cost-related associations among agroclimatic variables, while demonstrating its potential through a proof-of-concept application on a public dataset and a comparative analysis with SHAP-based Random Forest models.

Modelling crop yield using growth parameters and fall armyworm (Spodptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) leaf damage under different NPK regimes for Cameroon Highland Composite (CHC) maize

This study evaluates the performance of Cameroon Highland Composite (CHC) maize varieties under varying NPK fertilizer regimes, revealing that while fertilizer dose drives growth parameters and increases fall armyworm damage, the CHC202 variety achieves the highest yield with minimal pest impact, and a regression model combining plant vigor, plant number at harvest, and pest damage best predicts overall crop yield.

Physiological Responses and Industrial Oil Quality of Camelina sativa under Camelina–Vicia faba Intercropping and Contrasting Water Regimes

This three-year field study demonstrates that a balanced 50:50 intercropping of *Camelina sativa* and *Vicia faba* under irrigated conditions optimizes physiological performance and enhances key industrial oil quality attributes, such as oxidative stability and tocopherol content, suggesting its potential as a low-input strategy for biofuel feedstock production.
