This study demonstrates that in Larde District, Mozambique, the abundant availability of coconut husk residues combined with overwhelming community willingness to participate offers a viable, low-cost pathway for constructing sustainable and climate-resilient rural roads.
This review critically synthesizes current knowledge on citrus canker caused by *Xanthomonas citri* subsp. *citri* to argue that sustainable disease management requires a multidisciplinary Integrated Disease Management (IDM) framework combining cultural, chemical, biological, and genomic strategies, as no single approach offers durable control amidst challenges like copper resistance and regulatory constraints.
This study identified *Enterobacter* and *Bacillus* species as key bacterial agents of postharvest spoilage in strawberries and tomatoes and demonstrated that Mexican oregano essential oil effectively inhibits these pathogens, highlighting its potential as a natural preservation strategy.
This study validated the "Fuel-90 NextGen" questionnaire as a reliable and robust tool for assessing English academy soccer players' knowledge of carbohydrate guidelines, demonstrating its ability to distinguish between players and nutrition experts while supporting the development of targeted nutrition education.
This study estimates that inoculating global maize, wheat, and rice crops with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi could increase total cereal production by 12.6% (341 million metric tons), highlighting the significant, yet often overlooked, potential of soil biological communities to enhance global food security.
This study demonstrates that while fishmeal-based diets outperform plant-based alternatives in growth and fillet quality for juvenile European seabass, the inclusion of insect meal and poultry by-products can partially mitigate subtle gut histological changes, highlighting that nutritional strategies effective for subadults cannot be directly extrapolated to juveniles due to developmental stage-specific responses.
A field study in Tanzania demonstrates that applying 30 kg/ha of a biodegradable hydrogel derived from cassava peels significantly enhances paddy rice growth, water use efficiency, and grain yield, offering a sustainable solution for water-scarce agricultural regions.
This study reveals that while *Diaporthe* fungi are primary causal agents of hazelnut avariato, *Bacillus* spp. are also key contributors responsible for the disease's rancid odor and kernel liquification, with co-infections exacerbating kernel discoloration.
This study validates the functional and statistical efficacy of selected nitrogen-fixing bacteria, particularly *Lactobacillus pasteurii* DSM 23907 and *Bacillus rugosus*, in mitigating osmotic stress and significantly enhancing seed germination and seedling vigor through mechanisms including ammonia production, ACC deaminase activity, and nitrogenase function.
This study demonstrates that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated disruption of the susceptibility genes NtDMR6T and NtDMR6S in tobacco reduces seedling susceptibility to *Phytophthora nicotianae* race 0 by modulating defense-related pathways, offering a promising strategy for breeding black shank resistance despite the need for further agronomic validation.
