In an era marked by rapid global changes, the reinforcement and modernization of plant health surveillance systems have become imperative. Sixty-five scientists present here a research agenda for an enhanced a...
Pomegranate is capable of growing in different agro-climatic conditions ranging from tropical to sub-tropical. Where vegetative growth, nutritional and physiological status of pomegranate plants oscillate at h...
One of the emerging challenges impinging on sustainable food production in sub-Saharan Africa is the invasion of the fall armyworm (FAW) pest. Data collected from farm households in different agro-ecological z...
Plant extracts are used as possible methane mitigants and to replace antibiotic feed supplements previously used prophylactically to improve the adaptation of lambs in intensive feeding systems. This study inv...
The heavy metal cadmium (Cd) leads to significant bottom-up effects on food chains of plants, herbivores, and predators in agroecosystems. Through the transfer and accumulation of Cd. In addition to the indire...
Decline in soil fertility is a major threat to land productivity and food security in the East African highlands. This calls for the application of nutrient inputs to improve crop productivity. A study was con...
Breast and prostate cancer holds the position of foremost contributors to mortality. Dietary therapies for accompanied by medication are widely recognized as a potential method to successfully tackle cancer. M...
The push towards commercialization is driven by the modernization paradigm which argues that traditional subsistence farming is backward and primitive. Despite commercialization having the potential to enhance...
Drought is one of the most important yield-limiting abiotic stresses threatening wheat production and productivity. Development of wheat genotypes with enhanced grain yield under drought-stressed conditions de...
Cold waves both significantly reduce yield & damage crops as well; unforeseeable nature of cold waves makes it challenging for farmers to manage risk. Thus, we aim to select maize hybrids that thrive under col...
Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is a major spice crop around the globe. The major goal of the experiment was to evaluate the genetic diversity amongst 30 pepper germplasms for twelve morphological and phytochemical parame...
Pesticides-induced mortality has traditionally been the toxicological endpoint on which a chemical is selected for pest management strategies. However, the exposure to a pesticide might also cause behavioral a...
