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.
A worldwide survey of 118 hydroponics professionals reveals that while perceived sustainability positively influences their attitude toward aquaponics, negative economic prospects are the primary barrier to adoption, suggesting that future efforts should prioritize economic and legislative improvements over further technical management research.
Field experiments conducted at Punjab Agricultural University during 2022 and 2023 demonstrated that PAU homemade neem extract and dharek extract are highly effective eco-friendly alternatives for managing whitefly (*Bemisia tabaci*) on kharif mungbean, performing nearly as well as the synthetic insecticide Actara 25WG.
This study demonstrates that Curraleiro Pé-Duro cattle possess moderate-to-high heritabilities for carcass and body size traits and exhibit a unique, favorable positive genetic correlation between ribeye area and subcutaneous fat thickness, suggesting that simultaneous genetic improvement in muscling and fat deposition is achievable without compromising energy reserves.
This paper introduces VirDisc, a validated Illumina-based high-throughput sequencing test for plant virus and viroid diagnostics that integrates standardized protocols, contextual interpretation, and over a decade of ISO-accredited experience to bridge the gap between advanced sequencing technologies and regulatory plant health frameworks.
