IntroductionMicronutrient fertilisation is a promising strategy for agronomic biofortification of tomatoes. Yet, its effects on yield formation and fruit quality remain insufficiently clarified, particularly when multipl...

Abstract Major concerns in view of global issues including population increase, climate change, food insecurity and declining cultivable land are ones of expansion. Ensuring nutritional security and helping to mitigate t...

ABSTRACT Phytocystatins belong to the family of cysteine proteinases inhibitors. These proteinase inhibitors have crucial functions in plant defense against insects and pathogens attack. In the present study Melia azedar...

This research was carried out in Eastern Mediterranean region of Türkiye in main and second crop field conditions to determine the appropriate plant density in peanut cultivation at 70 cm inter-row distances. For this a...

ABSTRACT Repeatability allows an estimation of the number of evaluations needed to optimize the selection of superior genotypes, with consequent effects on the research costs in terms of financial and human resources. Th...

Across the globe, individuals continue to rely on plants to meet fundamental human requirements, including sustenance, attire, housing, and healthcare. Among the diverse plant families, Solanaceae houses thousands of spe...

Abstract Bael (Aegle marmelos Correa), an underutilized fruit crop of high nutritional and medicinal value, exhibits wide adaptability to diverse agro-climatic conditions but remains neglected in systematic improvement a...

Bee and non-bee pollinators are vital to global food production, but their populations are declining due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and reduced plant diversity, threatening crop yields and food security. Sustainable...

Processing tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a key crop in the Mediterranean, where farmers are increasingly required to balance high yields with reduced inputs. In response to the EU Farm to Fork strategy, which targe...

In some regions of Argentina and Brazil, the South American fruit fl y Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.) (Diptera: Teph-ritidae) causes significant damage to crops. An efficient integrated management program requires knowle...

Abstract This study analyzes four decades (1980–2019) of cultivar registration in Argentina and its relationship with agricultural production trends, with focus on the complementary roles of the private sector and publ...

Nas áreas de produção de sementes de Tectona grandis em Cáceres, MT, ventos fortes podem causar queda precoce de frutos. Diásporos de três lotes de teca, um obtido após a queda natural e os outros dois após queda...

Food texture is increasingly recognized as a determinant of nutritional safety, metabolic regulation, and overall health. However, conventional approaches to texture modification rely primarily on hydrocolloids, mechanic...

Plant reproduction is an intricate process important for the survival of all dominant autotrophs and critical in agriculture and stable food production as the basis of our diet. Angiosperms undergo extreme transformation...

Los cítricos son uno de los cultivos frutales más extendidos a nivel mundial. Constituyen un grupo muy complejo de genotipos con una gran diversidad fenotípica. Originarios del sudeste asiático, los ancestros más an...

BackgroundMango (Mangifera indica L.) is an economically important tropical fruit crop, yet the genomic diversity of mango germplasm from the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia—the country's primary production hub—remains ...

The European Union has expanded a number of times throughout its history by way of the accession of new member countries to the Union. Former USSR republic of Georgia and the EU have maintained relations since 1996. The ...

The paper analyses the spatial diversification of organic farming development in the gminas of the Lodzkie voivodeship in years 2008–2016. The level of the studied phenomenon was defined by a synthetic measure based on...

Abstract Background Passiflora germplasm, characterized by rich genetic diversity, play a pivotal role in the evolutionary history of tropical crops. With the expansion of commercial passion fruit cultivation, germplasm ...

Tomatoes are undoubtedly the main vegetable cropthanks to which Mexico has developed its fruit and vegetable industry, both supplying the domestic market and exporting to the United States. Thirty sevenyears after the be...

The foremost task in agriculture is the decisive identification of citrus plants and the timely identification of diseases in the plants with the aim of improving the quality of crops and the yield. In this work, a machi...

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...

OBJECTIVE: There is epidemiological evidence of an association between occupational pesticide exposure and cognitive impairment, but studies on the link with Alzheimer`s disease are scarce. We explored the association be...

In this article, we present three case-studies of paleodietary reconstruction from Prehispanic agropastoralist societies located in the arid and semi-arid zones of North western Argentina. These three examples include th...
