Mapping the Sustainability Transition in Liquid and Water-Soluble Fertilizer Research: A Scopus-Based Bibliometric Analysis (2021-2026)

This Scopus-based bibliometric analysis of 201 documents from 2021 to 2026 reveals that while liquid and water-soluble fertilizer research is conceptually converging on sustainability and circular economy themes, the field remains institutionally fragmented with modest international collaboration, highlighting a need for coordinated efforts to advance resource-efficient nutrient management aligned with global sustainability goals.

Fragmentation and depolymerization of conventional and biodegradable microplastics in Eisenia fetida and Eisenia andrei

This study demonstrates that while gut passage through *Eisenia* earthworms significantly fragments and chemically alters polyethylene, polybutylene, and polylactic acid microplastics, the biodegradable polymer (PLA) causes the most severe chemical degradation and earthworm mortality, indicating it is not necessarily the safer option in agricultural soils over short exposure periods.

Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Tagetes erecta Flower Extract: Structural Characterization and Dose-Dependent Antifungal Efficacy Against Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani of chickpea

This study demonstrates that silver nanoparticles green-synthesized using *Tagetes erecta* flower extract exhibit strong, dose-dependent antifungal activity against *Fusarium oxysporum* and *Rhizoctonia solani* in both *in vitro* and pot culture settings, achieving efficacy comparable to the commercial fungicide azoxystrobin and offering a promising eco-friendly alternative for managing chickpea soil-borne diseases.

Timing and immune status shape the safety of ASFV-G-ΔI177L vaccination in pregnant sows

This study demonstrates that while pre-immunized sows tolerate ASFV-G-ΔI177L booster vaccination during pregnancy without adverse effects, first-time vaccination of naïve sows during gestation poses severe risks including maternal illness, reproductive failure, and potential vertical transmission.

Acmella oleracea extract-loaded nanoemulsion for the control of Aedes aegypti and Tribolium castaneum larvae: combating disease vectors and agricultural pests

This study demonstrates that a safe, spilanthol-rich *Acmella oleracea* extract, when formulated into a stable nanoemulsion, exhibits significantly enhanced larvicidal activity against *Aedes aegypti* and *Tribolium castaneum* while maintaining low toxicity to non-target organisms, offering a promising eco-friendly alternative for pest control.
