This study characterizes the physico-chemical properties of topsoils in 58 smallholder fodder gardens in Southwestern Uganda, revealing critical deficits in nitrogen and phosphorus, widespread acidity threatening root development, and low organic matter, despite adequate potassium levels and the beneficial structural buffering role of silt.
This study demonstrates that Black Soldier Fly larvae reared on restaurant waste exhibit superior growth and lipid yield compared to those fed vegetable leftovers or wheat bran, confirming restaurant waste as a highly effective substrate for scalable biodiesel production.
This study evaluated the agronomic performance and genotype-by-environment interaction of ten hybrid maize varieties across two contrasting land typologies in South Sulawesi, revealing that environmental conditions significantly influenced key growth traits while genotype effects were non-significant, thereby highlighting the dominance of environmental factors in determining maize performance in the region.
This study identifies *Frankliniella borinquen* as a newly emerging thrips pest threatening cassava production in the Democratic Republic of Congo through an integrative morphological and molecular analysis, highlighting its broad host range and potential risks to food security.
This study demonstrates that dietary supplementation with *Magnolia officinalis* extract significantly enhances growth performance, intestinal health, antioxidant capacity, and disease resistance against *Aeromonas hydrophila* in juvenile hybrid sturgeon by modulating immune responses, improving gut barrier integrity, and promoting beneficial microbiota.
This prospective randomized controlled trial demonstrates that adjunctive acupuncture, when combined with multimodal analgesia, significantly improves postoperative pain control and early functional recovery in dogs undergoing stifle joint surgery without causing adverse events.
This study identifies the mutant line Maryut-5100 as a high-yielding, stable bread wheat genotype adapted to limited water availability in Egypt by integrating phenotypic selection with SSR marker analysis to confirm significant genetic diversity and heritable traits in M4 generations.
This study of 190 commercial raw materials used in southern Brazil reveals that over 60% are ultra-processed and that significant variations in energy, fat, and sodium content exist across different brands, underscoring the critical need for nutritional criteria in supplier selection to mitigate public health risks.
This study establishes a proof of concept for behavior-based management of the invasive leafminer *Liriomyza huidobrensis* by identifying specific plant volatiles—namely D-limonene, farnesyl acetate, and p-cymene as repellent "push" agents, and oleic acid as an attractant "pull" agent—through an integrated approach of host preference assays, chemical profiling, and electrophysiological and behavioral screening.
This study demonstrates that dietary β-glucan supplementation in fish enhances systemic innate immunity while simultaneously modulating local mucosal gene expression to reduce inflammatory stress and maintain tissue homeostasis in the gut and gills.
