Economic Efficiency and Productivity of Smallholder Teff Producers in Awabel District of East Gojjam Zone in Ethiopia

This study of 360 smallholder teff farmers in Ethiopia's Awabel District reveals that while technical efficiency is relatively high, significant allocative and economic inefficiencies driven by structural cost distortions and limited access to credit and education hinder optimal productivity, necessitating policy interventions focused on financial inclusion, extension services, and land market stabilization.

Micronutrient deficiencies and nickel toxicity differentially alter growth, physiology, and leaf ultrastructure in Passiflora edulis seedlings

This study demonstrates that individual micronutrient deficiencies and nickel toxicity induce distinct morphophysiological and ultrastructural alterations in *Passiflora edulis* seedlings, with iron and manganese deprivation causing the most severe growth and photosynthetic declines while nickel exposure specifically disrupts chloroplast organization.
