This study conducted in the Cerrado of Roraima, Brazil, concludes that integrating maize with single-row eucalyptus plantings and cultivating the crop at intermediate distances (approximately 6–7 meters) from the trees maximizes maize productivity in crop-forest systems.
This study demonstrates that vertical canopy stratification in Bolivian cacao agroforestry systems drives functional niche differentiation by shaping distinct resource-acquisitive and resource-conservative water-carbon use strategies in upper and lower strata trees, respectively, through coordinated trait-mediated responses to environmental gradients.
This review synthesizes current research on the mechanisms, diagnostics, and mitigation of composite emitter clogging caused by salts, sediment, and biofilms in saline drip irrigation, while highlighting the urgent need for improved modeling and field validation of sustainable solutions tailored to India's agricultural landscape.
This study demonstrates that serum mineral profiling, particularly of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, iron, copper, zinc, and manganese, serves as an effective predictive tool for identifying reproductive disorders in dairy cattle within the central Ganga plain of India.
This study demonstrates that delaying the transplanting of lowland rice on P-deficient acid soil significantly reduces yield and phosphorus recovery, necessitating a downward shift in the agronomic optimum phosphorus application rate from approximately 25.5 kg ha⁻¹ to 21.8 kg ha⁻¹.
This study demonstrates that while tomato juice–incorporated Gwapyeon can be successfully formulated using various starch types and concentrations to create a modern Korean confection with distinct physicochemical and textural profiles, achieving high consumer acceptance requires further optimization of flavor, texture, and storage stability.
This study found that co-digesting fruit juice processing wastewater with primary sludge improved the substrate's COD:N ratio but did not significantly enhance volatile fatty acid accumulation or methane yield compared to using the fruit juice wastewater alone.
Using a novel dishabituation paradigm that measures transit times to objects, this study demonstrates that untrained cattle spontaneously differentiate objects based on global shape and local contours rather than size, highlighting their natural reliance on shape information and offering an ecologically valid method for assessing large animal cognition.
This study documents the rich biodiversity and cultural significance of the Blang people's traditional food system in Jingmai Mountain's tea-forest ecosystem, highlighting its potential for food security while warning that rapid economic shifts driven by tea production and tourism threaten to undermine these sustainable practices and Indigenous knowledge.
This study demonstrates that while adequate manganese is essential for *Amaranthus hybridus*, excessive concentrations significantly inhibit both vertical and radial growth parameters, highlighting the critical need for regulated soil manganese levels to ensure optimal biomass production and food safety.
