Regulatory Effects of Combined Application of Exogenous IAA and 6-BA on Sprout Development and Endogenous Hormone Balance in Pinus yunnanensis Seedlings After Stumping

This study demonstrates that the combined application of exogenous IAA and 6-BA regulates sprout development in stumped *Pinus yunnanensis* seedlings by modulating the endogenous hormone balance network, specifically by optimizing the GA₃/ZA ratio to control sprout number and the synergistic accumulation of IAA and GA₃ to influence sprout length, thereby providing a theoretical basis for efficient clonal propagation.

Selected indigenous Bradyrhizobium strains match or surpass elite exotic strains as soybean inoculants in Mozambique

Field trials in Mozambique demonstrate that specific indigenous *Bradyrhizobium* strains (Moz 4 and Moz 27) match or outperform elite exotic commercial strains in boosting soybean yields, validating their potential for regional inoculant production to ensure agricultural resilience.

A Spatially and Phenologically Aligned Agroclimatic Exposure Framework for Rice Yield Assessment across Countries

This paper presents a harmonized agroclimatic exposure framework that aligns gridded weather data with administrative crop statistics through phenological weighting to reveal significant warming trends and varying diurnal temperature range impacts on rice yields across ten countries, distinguishing between transferable exposure construction and period-sensitive yield associations.

Global patterns and drivers of carbon mineralization in cropland soils depend on agricultural management practices

This global meta-analysis of 7,218 paired measurements reveals that agricultural management practices, particularly organic amendments like straw and manure, significantly accelerate soil organic carbon mineralization, with the magnitude of these effects varying systematically across climate zones, soil water content, management duration, and soil depth.

Dissipation and risk assessment of fluopyram and trifloxystrobin on banana, mango, grape, pomegranate and soil at harvest

This study evaluated the dissipation kinetics and dietary risk of fluopyram and trifloxystrobin fungicides on banana, mango, grape, and pomegranate crops in India, finding that their residues degrade within 2.43 to 22.74 days and pose no significant public health concern as daily intakes remain well below acceptable limits.

Using Locally Developed Allometric Equations Improves Biomass Estimation in Managed Forests

This study demonstrates that locally developed allometric equations significantly improve biomass estimation in intensively managed lodgepole pine forests by accurately capturing crown structural changes caused by pre-commercial thinning, which generalized national equations fail to account for and consequently underestimate.

Metabolomics, E-nose, E-tongue and HS-GC-IMS reveal the flavor dynamics of Lycium barbarum L. during hot air drying

This study elucidates the dynamic changes in flavor and chemical composition of *Lycium barbarum* L. during hot air drying by integrating metabolomics, electronic nose, electronic tongue, and HS-GC-IMS analyses to identify key volatile compounds, metabolic pathways, and their correlations that drive flavor formation.

Temporal rank instability reveals long-term resilience of sorbic-acid CMC formulations for Steinernema carpocapsae: a trajectory-based reanalysis

Reanalysis of archived data reveals that early survival rankings are poor predictors of long-term durability for *Steinernema carpocapsae* formulations, identifying sorbic acid combined with 2–3% carboxymethyl cellulose as the most resilient candidate for future independent validation despite observed temporal rank instability.

Comparative Effects of Partial Rootzone Drying and Deficit Irrigation on Water Use Efficiency, Economic Water Productivity, and Productive Traits of Mature Apricot Trees in a Semi-Arid Region

This study conducted in a semi-arid region of Iran demonstrates that while Partial Rootzone Drying (PRD) generally enhances water use efficiency and economic returns compared to conventional Deficit Irrigation (DI) under mild stress, its effectiveness diminishes under severe water stress where it fails to prevent yield declines.

Soil Moisture Partitioning and Water Productivity in Pomegranate-Based Agroforestry Systems in Semi-Arid Agro ecosystems

A five-year field study in semi-arid Rajasthan demonstrates that pomegranate-based intercropping systems, particularly with vegetable crops like okra and cabbage, significantly enhance soil moisture utilization, system yield, and water productivity compared to sole pomegranate cultivation, offering a climate-resilient strategy for sustainable dryland agriculture.
