Cultivar-dependent differences in soybean N2O emissions under wet, nitrogen-limited conditions: an eight-month pot experiment

This eight-month pot experiment reveals that while soybean cultivar differences in N2O emissions were negligible during the growth period, they emerged post-harvest under wet, nitrogen-limited conditions, with one high-yield cultivar showing notably lower emissions, and further demonstrated that plant physiological activity, particularly transpiration, significantly drives short-term emission fluctuations.

Effect of Drying on Underutilized 'Red Sitaphal' peels: Physicochemical, Structural, and Phytochemical attributes

This study evaluates the impact of tray, vacuum, and freeze drying on the physicochemical, structural, and phytochemical properties of underutilized Red Sitaphal peels, concluding that non-thermal freeze drying and low-temperature vacuum drying best preserve the peel's bioactive compounds and functional potential for valorization.

Influence of Climatic Factors on the Development of Cashew Powdery Mildew

This study reveals that while relative humidity and inoculum source affect *Erysiphe quercicola* viability, temperature, light spectra, and photoperiod critically modulate the pathogen's germination and development, offering key insights for managing cashew powdery mildew in Northeastern Brazil.

Physical and Physicochemical Characterization of Umbu-Cajá (Spondias bahiensis) Fruit Throughout Ripening

This study demonstrates that the fully yellow ripening stage (Stage IV) of umbú-cajá fruit offers the optimal balance of technological yield, physicochemical quality, and chemical composition for both fresh consumption and agroindustrial processing, despite the green stage (Stage I) containing the highest vitamin C levels.

Efficiency of Niang shell Archidendron pauciflorum (Benth.) extracts in the control of adult Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae)

This study demonstrates that ethanol extracts of abundant *Archidendron pauciflorum* (Niang) shells, characterized by specific phytochemicals, serve as a highly effective and sustainable biopesticide against adult *Aedes aegypti* mosquitoes, achieving 100% mortality via the ATSB ingestion method with superior efficacy compared to the CDC bottle bioassay.

Socioeconomic Institutional and Environmental Factors Influencing Agricultural Land Loss to Non Agricultural Uses

This study of the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality reveals that agricultural land loss is primarily driven by structural urbanization forces and environmental pressures rather than individual farm characteristics, necessitating stronger land use planning, urban edge enforcement, and improved water management to ensure sustainability.

Data-Driven Spatial Targeting for Sustainable Intensification of Rice Systems in the Philippines

This study demonstrates that data-driven, spatially targeted nitrogen management strategies, developed using machine learning and validated on-farm, can significantly close rice yield gaps in the Philippines' Iloilo and Nueva Ecija provinces while achieving 86% of potential production gains with only 15% increased fertilizer use compared to blanket approaches.
