A six-year field trial demonstrates that replacing synthetic nitrogen with biogas slurry enhances crop resilience and yield by reconditioning aged biochar to reorganize soil pore networks into connected pathways, thereby coupling hydraulic buffering with efficient nitrogen redistribution.
This study determined the minimum saltation velocity for pneumatic conveying of teff grain across various pipe diameters and solid loading ratios, revealing that the required gas velocity increases significantly with both higher loading and larger pipe sizes to ensure stable, blockage-free transport.
This study employs a qualitative risk assessment to determine that while climate change is expected to significantly increase the risk of *Vibrio harveyi* infections in Australian oyster aquaculture by 2040, the impacts of QX disease, harmful algal blooms, and *P. minimum* will vary by region and agent, highlighting critical knowledge gaps that must be addressed to support industry resilience.
This study identifies the nuclear RING-H2 E3 ubiquitin ligase HvRHF9870 as a crucial positive regulator of barley resistance to *Pyrenophora graminea* by demonstrating its upregulation in resistant accessions, its ability to enhance antioxidant enzyme activities via interaction with peroxidase, and its necessity for disease resistance confirmed through VIGS silencing.
This study demonstrates that pretreating mallow leaves with ultrasound significantly enhances infrared drying efficiency by increasing effective moisture diffusivity and reducing activation energy and specific energy consumption, while also improving the final product's color and rehydration quality.
This study demonstrates that integrating high-altitude geographic isolation with tuber size-grading protocols serves as an effective non-chemical IPM strategy to mitigate Potato leafroll virus spread and enhance seed quality in the North-Western Himalayas by leveraging the inverse relationships between altitude, aphid vector pressure, and viral accumulation in larger tubers.
This study demonstrates that supplementing the diet of mass-reared *Anastrepha obliqua* with the safe bacterium *Apilactobacillus intestinapis* enhances both the sexual competitiveness of males fed sugar and the overall survival and life expectancy of adults, suggesting its potential utility in improving Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs.
This scoping review synthesizes global evidence from 37 studies across 18 countries to map the significant genotypic and phenotypic variability in roselle's agronomic traits and nutritional composition, highlighting regional research gaps and the need for integrated characterization to support breeding and germplasm conservation.
This study utilizes metabarcoding to characterize the distinct bacterial and fungal community structures of dried pellicle and fermentation liquid fractions from a Kombucha microbiome, providing a taxonomic foundation for developing potential plant architecture-supporting biostimulants while highlighting the need for further functional and biosafety validation.
This study develops a multilayer perceptron model trained on extracted allometric data to accurately forecast teak growth parameters in Ghanaian plantations, employing a rigorous plot-level data split to prevent leakage and demonstrating that soil fertility significantly influences growth predictions despite the absence of a centralized field inventory.
