Land snail diversity and reproductive biology of the major pest Acusta tourannensis (Souleyet, 1842) (Gastropoda, Camaenidae) in Vietnamese orange (Citrus sinensis (L.)) orchards

This study documents the gastropod diversity in Vietnamese orange orchards and characterizes the reproductive biology of the primary pest, *Acusta tourannensis*, revealing that while higher temperatures accelerate growth, optimal embryonic viability and fecundity occur at 25°C with protein-rich diets, providing critical data for integrated pest management strategies.

Evaluation of the DSSAT–CERES-Wheat Model for Simulating Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Under Different Irrigation Scenarios in the Egyptian Nile Delta

This study demonstrates that the DSSAT–CERES-Wheat model accurately simulates winter wheat yields in the Egyptian Nile Delta when calibrated with specific irrigation thresholds, particularly a 50% soil water depletion trigger, thereby highlighting the critical role of efficient irrigation management in addressing water scarcity.

Reusable Perforated Plastic-Ball Bulking Agent for Decentralized Food Waste Composting: Maturity Validation, Nutrient Retention and Machine Learning-Based Process Interpretation

This study demonstrates that incorporating 8% reusable perforated plastic balls as a bulking agent significantly enhances the aeration, maturity speed, and nutrient retention of decentralized food waste composting, while validating machine learning models for effective process interpretation.

Identifying Stable and High-Performing WA-CMS Rice Lines through Integrated Genotype × Environment Interaction (GEI) and Multi-Trait Stability Analysis

This study integrates Genotype × Environment Interaction (GEI) and multi-trait stability analyses to identify APMS 17A and APMS 16A as the most stable and high-performing WA-CMS rice lines for hybrid breeding across diverse environments.

Multi-cation irrigation water composition affects strawberry growth, yield, and fruit quality beyond SAR-based sodicity assessment

This study demonstrates that the specific multi-cation composition of irrigation water, rather than sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) alone, significantly influences strawberry growth, yield, and fruit quality, with the Cation Ratio of Soil Structural Stability (CROSSf) serving as a more accurate predictor of crop performance than traditional SAR-based assessments.

Integrated Use of Vermicompost and NPSB Fertilizer Rates on Growth, Yield, and Yield Components of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Gimbo District, Southwest Ethiopia

A field experiment in Gimbo District, Southwest Ethiopia, demonstrated that the integrated application of 7 t ha⁻¹ vermicompost and 100 kg ha⁻¹ NPSB fertilizer significantly maximizes the growth, yield, and economic returns of the common bean variety Nasir compared to sole or control treatments.

Between concentration and diffusion: spatial dynamics of soybean production in MATOPIBA through the lens of circular cumulative causation (2000–2024)

This study analyzes soybean production in Brazil's MATOPIBA region from 2000 to 2024, revealing that while territorial expansion occurred, production remained spatially concentrated in a consolidated core, a pattern consistent with Myrdal's circular cumulative causation theory as evidenced by persistent spatial dependence and inequality.

Performance and Productivity of Ocimum species under an Aonla-based Agroforestry System in the Submontane low hill zone of the North-Western Himalaya

This study conducted in the North-Western Himalaya from 2024 to 2025 demonstrates that an Aonla-based agroforestry system combined with vermicompost application significantly enhances the growth, yield, and soil fertility of *Ocimum* species, with *Ocimum basilicum* (Bhabri tulsi) showing the highest biological productivity and *Ocimum sanctum* (Ram tulsi) delivering the best economic returns.

Evaluation of Pseudomonas fluorescens, Trichoderma viride, and Their Consortium for the Management of Potato Late Blight and Tuber Yield

A 2026 field study in Nepal found that while *Trichoderma viride* demonstrated superior disease-suppressive potential against potato late blight compared to *Pseudomonas fluorescens* and their consortium, none of the biological treatments significantly reduced disease severity or increased tuber yield enough to serve as a standalone control method under natural epidemic conditions.

Effect of Dietary Moringa Seedcake, Folic ACID, and Zinc Oxide Supplementation on Reproductive Performance of Rabbits (Oryctolagus Cuniculus)

This study investigated the effects of varying dietary levels of moringa seedcake, folic acid, and zinc oxide on the reproductive performance of rabbits and found that while overall interactions were not statistically significant, specific combinations such as 25% moringa seedcake with 50 mg/kg folic acid improved litter size at birth, whereas 40 mg/kg folic acid with 150 mg/kg zinc oxide maintained performance without negative effects.
