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.
This study challenges the core assumption of gharial headstarting programs that larger captive-reared individuals have better survival outcomes, revealing instead that smaller gharials were more likely to establish residency while larger ones suffered high mortality from gill-net bycatch, suggesting that release strategies should prioritize smaller sizes, upstream locations, and bycatch reduction.
The Soil Intelligence System (SIS) is a novel, hardware-agnostic, hierarchical AI framework that enables real-time, offline agronomic decision-making through multimodal edge sensor fusion, explainable rule-based and ensemble learning, and continuous local adaptation, thereby overcoming the latency and privacy limitations of traditional cloud-dependent agricultural systems.
This controlled field study on Irish dairy farms found that a non-antibiotic dry cow protocol performed similarly to selective dry cow therapy regarding somatic cell count, milk production, and clinical mastitis incidence, suggesting it is a viable alternative for antimicrobial reduction programs.
This study demonstrates that Alcalase-hydrolyzed chickpea protein isolate, particularly its <1 kDa fraction, yields potent multifunctional bioactive peptides with significant ACE-inhibitory, DPP-IV-inhibitory, and antioxidant activities, establishing a comprehensive framework for protease selection and characterization in the development of functional food ingredients.
The study concludes that 4-meter insecticide-sprayed logs placed above ground and baited at their midpoint are the most effective configuration for capturing *Ips typographus*, whereas full-length trees and 2-meter logs are impractical or inefficient due to distance limitations and insufficient surface area.
This study identifies the cultivars 'Beer Super' and 'Udayan' as the most promising options for off-season summer tomato production in Bangladesh due to their superior heat tolerance, early flowering, vigorous vegetative growth, and high yield stability compared to other varieties that failed under extreme temperature and rainfall stress.
This study developed Saudi-specific estimated dietary requirements for selected minerals by applying a harmonized factorial computational framework that integrates international physiological models with local anthropometric and energy data, providing a foundational basis for future nutritional assessments and policies in Saudi Arabia.
This study demonstrates that herbivore-induced sorghum volatiles, specifically the synergistic blend of DMNT and (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, significantly enhance the attraction of the parasitoid *Cotesia flavipes*, offering promising semiochemical candidates for improving biological control of stem borers in sustainable integrated pest management.
This paper presents a comprehensive national atlas of tsetse flies and African animal trypanosomosis in Ghana, which harmonizes decades of scattered field data to map the distribution of three tsetse species and varying disease prevalence rates, thereby serving as a critical evidence-based tool for the country's control and elimination efforts.
