This study investigated the effect of guava leaf meal (GLM) as a phytobiotic in broilers, focusing on its chemical properties and potential physiological benefits. 135 one-day-old male Cobb broilers were randomly allocat...

Salt stress limits plant production in arid and semi-arid zones. Although Na2SO4 is frequent in saline soils, most studies on plant physiological responses to salt stress were conducted using NaCl. This study aimed to de...

Nanotechnology holds significant interest across various domains, including agriculture. The green synthesis of nanoparticles offers environmentally friendly solutions. This study aimed to synthesize copper nanoparticles...

Clitoria ternatea is widely used in tropical livestock farming. This study evaluates the agronomic performance and alkaloid content of C. ternatea under different irrigation frequencies in protected cultivation. A random...

Stylosanthes hippocampoides, a native legume forage species, was first studied by our research team in 2016 to assess genetic variability in natural populations in northeastern Argentina. Recurrent fires in the following...

Bamboo cultivation in Argentina could represent a major economic activity if its various applications were revealed. This study characterized the anatomy and micromorphology of leaf blades by optical and scanning electro...

This study aimed to progress in designing a probiotic containing autochthonous Enterococcus gallinarum CRL 1826 for application during the life cycle of Lithobates catesbeianus in hatchery conditions. We assessed bacteri...

Black Sigatoka (Pseudocercospora fijiensis) is the most important leaf spot disease of bananas worldwide, particularly affecting Cavendish banana, the most exported variety. Additionally, this pathogen has developed resi...

PHAs are polyesters found as internal granules in several microorganisms. Azotobacter is known for its ability to produce PHA. This study aimed to isolate Azotobacter from the rhizosphere of selected crops located in Lim...

Forests play a crucial role in ecological stability, carbon sequestration, habitat provision and economy. As climate change intensifies, increasing drought frequency and severity challenge our understanding of forest res...

In Argentina, 80% of walnut production is carried out by smallholder farms facing poor technology, production constraints, and substantial economic losses due to pests like Cydia pomonella (codling moth). We assessed sus...

In the last three years, 2 billion tonnes of untreated and dismissed agricultural wastes have been accumulated without adequate management of reuse or final disposal, resulting in dumping or burning. The circular economy...

This research employs an empirical approach to understand aspects defining why young people remain in their rural territories. Utilising a rural region of Caldas, Colombia as a case study and based on an agricultural edu...

Safe pesticide application must ensure efficacy in pest control while minimizing environmental and human health risks. This study investigated pesticide potential drift by comparing ground and aerial spraying systems und...

Field trials were conducted in six locations in central-northern Córdoba, Argentina, using four maize hybrids with varying resistance to northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), caused by Exserohilum turcicum. Naturally occurr...

This work aimed to analyze and classify the suitability of freshwater sources for irrigation in three large hydrographic regions of Southern Continental Patagonia: Coyle, Serrano, and Gallegos. In these regions, there is...

Global climate change presents challenges to arid and semi-arid ecosystems, impacting native species such as Neltuma caldenia, endemic to Argentina. This underscores the importance of understanding germination processes ...

Vegetable oil consumption has increased in recent decades due to the high content of monounsaturated (Omega 9) and polyunsaturated (Omega 3 and 6) fatty acids. For this reason, this research compared the fatty acid profi...

Fertilizer use has been important for decades. Recent records show significant increases in their usage. Excessive and unconscious applications threaten human and environmental health and cause economic losses. This stud...

Brassica napus L. (rapeseed, canola) ranks third in worldwide importance among oilseeds. The production of hybrid rapeseed seed requires an androsterile female parent; therefore, fertilization is possible through pollina...

Neltuma spp. (previously known as Prosopis spp.) are vital for ecological restoration and sustainable forestry in arid and semiarid environments. Although extensively studied, nursery techniques are still inconsistently ...
