Despite the availability of improved yam varieties with higher yields in Oyo State, Nigeria, farmers predominantly cultivate landraces due to a critical lack of seed access rather than a reluctance to adopt new genotypes.
This study presents a scalable framework for mapping agricultural drought hazard in the data-scarce Jiroft plain of Iran by integrating remote sensing data with in-situ soil moisture measurements and machine learning models, demonstrating that a Support Vector Machine approach effectively identifies drought risks using plant available water capacity and soil moisture as key predictors.
This study demonstrates that while intercropping sweet potato with soybean generally suppresses tuber yield and nutrient uptake, the integrated application of poultry manure, reduced NPK fertilizer, and the *Rhizophagus irregularis* AMF strain (½(PM + NPK)+AMF2) significantly enhances tuber yield, nutrient uptake, and post-harvest soil chemical properties in Nigerian cropping systems.
This review evaluates the Nigerian fisheries sector from 2019 to 2023, highlighting persistent challenges such as overfishing, climate change, and infrastructure deficits that have impacted production and species diversity, while assessing the mixed results of government initiatives like the Agricultural Transformation Agenda in driving diversification and sustainable development.
This study demonstrates the technical feasibility of using PCR-validated UAV multi-spectral imagery and deep learning models, particularly a CNN achieving 97.17% F1-score, for the automated detection of Sugarcane White Leaf Disease, while highlighting the need for further validation across larger datasets and diverse varieties before operational deployment.
This study demonstrates that seed and leaf extracts of *Azadirachta indica* and *Jatropha curcas* effectively control the Fall armyworm by increasing larval mortality and disrupting metabolic processes through the depletion of energy reserves and inhibition of detoxification enzymes, establishing them as promising eco-friendly biopesticides.
This study established an optimized SRAP marker system to analyze 140 passion fruit accessions, revealing high genetic diversity and distinct clustering patterns that provide a molecular basis for germplasm identification and breeding.
This study demonstrates that the feeding behaviors of four major storage insect pests vary significantly by grain type and time of day, causing substantial physicochemical and molecular deterioration in stored cereals and pulses, thereby underscoring the critical need for targeted postharvest management strategies.
This study demonstrates that exogenous Gibberellic Acid (GA) significantly promotes biomass accumulation and organ growth coordination in *Pinus yunnanensis* seedlings, whereas Paclobutrazol (PAC) inhibits above-ground growth and alters biomass correlation patterns, particularly during the critical transition period in June.
This study demonstrates that modern peach training systems, particularly the Catalan Vase and Quad-V, significantly outperform traditional methods in growth, yield, and fruit quality in Türkiye, though their widespread adoption is currently hindered by grower skepticism and a lack of awareness.
