Abstract Maize production in Thailand is increasingly suffering from drought periods along the cropping season. This creates need for rapid and accurate methods to detect crop water stress prevent yield loss. The study was, therefore, conducted improve efficacy of thermal imaging assessing maize prediction. experiment was carried out under controlled field conditions Phitsanulok, Thailand. Five treatments were applied, including (T1) fully irrigated treatment with 100% requirement (CWR) as...

Abstract Phosphorus (P) is a vital mineral nutrient in agriculture and its deficiency results reduced growth, yield, grain quality cereals. Much of the applied P becomes fixed soils, limiting accessibility to plants. Thus, investigating sustainable strategies release resources enhance plant uptake crucial. This study explored how plant-associated bacteria employ phosphate solubilizing mechanisms improve availability. The growth patterns four bacterial strains, namely Bacillus subtilis ZE15...

Dryland areas are experiencing low agricultural yields due to severe water shortages and salinity, leading food scarcity. Mungbean (Vigna radiate) is gaining attention as a short-season crop that can tolerate dryland conditions, fix atmospheric nitrogen, decreasing soil nutrient depletion. It source of high-quality protein for human consumption serve multipurpose crop, if harvest residues used fodder or green manure. However, little this legume’s potential has been explored. This review aims...

Chickpea is an important leguminous crop that improves soil fertility through atmospheric nitrogen fixation with the help of rhizobia present in nodules. Non-rhizobia endophytes are also capable inducing nodulation and crops. The aim current study was to isolate, characterize identify non-rhizobia endophytic bacterial strains from root nodules chickpea. For this purpose, more than one hundred isolates were isolated chickpea under aseptic conditions confirmed as re-isolating them after their...

This article explores how the causes and impacts of a flood event as perceived by local people shape immediate responses future mitigation efforts in mountainous northwest Vietnam. Local perception is contrasted with scientific perspectives to determine whether singular will trigger adjustments strategies an otherwise rarely flood-affected area. We present findings from interdisciplinary research drawing on both socioeconomic biophysical data. Evidence suggests that individual farmers'...

Background Low phosphorus availability limits crop production in alkaline calcareous soils semi-arid regions including Pakistan. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria may improve growth on due to their ability enhance P availability. Methods Twenty rhizobacterial isolates (Q1–Q20) were isolated from rhizosphere of cotton and characterized for promoting attributes vitro . The selected phosphate further screened under axenic conditions (jar trial). solubilization capacities strains quantified these...

Arid and semi-arid regions are characterized by high temperature low rainfall, leading to degraded agricultural soils of alkaline calcareous nature with organic matter contents. Less availability indigenous nutrients efficacy applied fertilizers the major issues crop production in these soils. Biochar application, combination plant growth promoting rhizobacteria ability solubilize nutrients, can be an effective strategy for improving soil health nutrient crops under conditions. Experiments...

The diversification of biomass resources is key to the transition towards a bioeconomy. Acrocomia spp., neotropical genus palms, an example plants’ diversity potential for sustainable Acrocomia’s adaptability environments outside rainforests, its specific fruit properties and high yields has generated interest researchers entrepreneurs, triggering introduction as multipurpose oil crop. Developing sustainability-oriented knowledge-based acrocomia value webs requires collaborative, systems...
