ABSTRACT The widespread deficiency of available phosphorus (P) in soils, particularly in tropical regions, necessitates the application of phosphate fertilizers due to their high adsorption. However, excessive use engend...

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of fruit maturity stage, storage container type, and storage duration on the content of active compounds and vitamins in hot pepper fruits (Capsicum frutescens L.), as these are im...

Avaliou-se a produção de palmito do estipe principal e do primeiro perfilho da pupunheira (Bactris gasipaes Kunth), utilizando diferentes fontes e formas de adubação (orgânica e mineral) num LATOSSOLO AMARELO na Ama...

This Campbell systematic review examines the effects of input subsidies on agricultural productivity, beneficiary incomes and welfare, consumer welfare and wider economic growth. The review summarizes evidence from 15 ex...

Maize has a high nitrogen demand; as a result, more sustainable alternatives are needed to reduce demand for mineral fertilizers. This study aimed to evaluate and characterize the agronomic performance of maize genotypes...

To mitigate the environmental impact of excessive urea use, this study investigates the foliar application of urea and ethephon as a more efficient alternative to soil application, aiming to optimize nitrogen use while s...

This study aimed to investigate onion (Allium cepa L.) production practices in the Fez–Meknes region of Northern Morocco and explore the potential for adopting an agroecological model. Field visits and interviews were ...

This study was conducted to investigate growth response parameters and forage yield of Panicum maximum Jacq. plants supplied with nitrate (NO3-) and ammonium (NH4+) as N source in a nutrient solution. Six NO3- and NH4+ c...

Abstract Maize (Zea mays L.) is a critical crop for food security and economic well-being in Uganda, yet yields remain below the threshold among smallholder farmers (2–3 t/ha). This is attributed to nutrient-depleted f...

Abstract Man-made synthetic/manufactured nano-objects (MNOs) are increasingly used in almost every scientific sector, including pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, and drug industries worldwide. Rapid advances in nanotec...

Abstract The stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans) has historically been a pest of dairy cattle and feedlots due to the availability of decaying plant matter mixed with animal excrements in such production systems. In the las...

Abstract The necessity for sustainable soil management arose due to soil degradation caused by intense agricultural soil cultivation, which employs chemical fertilizers to increase production. Soil degradation can be rem...

SUMMARY The slash and burn method was studied with respect to changes on the chemical composition in the top-soil layer (upper 20 cm) of yellow latosols (about 85% of the total area) and hydromorphic soils (about 1% of t...
