Optimizing water management and climate-resilient agriculture in rice-fallow regions of the Dwarakeswar river basin using ML models
Accurate spatial data on single-crop regions like rice fallows is vital for policymakers to optimize agrotechnological interventions and improve crop productivity. Predicting soil moisture and groundwater levels (GWL) is equally essential for...
Agricultural biocontrol potential of bacterial volatile organic compounds (bVOCs) for enhanced crop protection
Plant diseases and insect pests present significant challenges to agricultural productivity, while nutritional deficiencies impede plant growth. Recent research has focused on plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), which regulate soil...
Selection of high nitrogen fixation chickpea genotypes under drought stress conditions using multi-environment analysis
Chickpea (*Cicer arietinum* L.) is an important pulse crop mainly grown in marginal lands around the world. Drought stress highly impacts symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) in chickpeas, which can limit productivity. Therefore, selecting high...
Predicting forest above-ground biomass using SAR imagery and GEDI data through machine learning in GEE cloud
The estimation of Forest above-ground biomass (AGB) is critical for comprehending forest ecosystems and promoting biodiversity restoration. The study was conducted to develop an effective approach to predict Forest Above-Ground Biomass (AGB)...
Trait preferences and lentil varietal adoption in central Ethiopia: A multistakeholder approach
Agricultural technologies, including modern/improved crop varieties, are a critical measure for improving productivity, meeting food security needs, and bridging inequalities. This notwithstanding, adoption of some improved crop varieties in sub...
Selection index for economically important traits in Boer crossbred goats using principal component analysis
The optimal strategy for genetic selection is a selection index based on economic weight; however, in developing countries where economic weight estimation is not always evident and easy for breeders due to a lack of economic data. Thus, this...
A review on the utilization of the by-products generated during the production of Argan oil
The annual production of argan oil reaches approximately 4450 tons, which inevitably generates a large quantity of by-products. From the point of view of argan oil production, the pulp, the nutshell and the press cake represent approximately 97...
Towards the establishment of genetic reserves for key crop wild relatives in Lebanon: Analysis of strategies across diverse ecogeographical landscapes
This study aims to identify best areas for the establishment of a genetic reserves network in Lebanon to achieve the in situ conservation of 35 targeted CWR taxa belonging to Aegilops L., Triticum L., Avena L., Hordeum L., Cicer L., Lens Mill...
