This review delves into the diverse applications of ionic liquids (ILs) in modern agriculture, focusing on their pivotal roles in the extraction of natural products and pesticides, as well as their substantial significance in sustainable pesticide de...

In response to the issues of low-velocity zones and non-uniform jet velocity distribution in the airflow field of traditional air-assisted orchard sprayers, an arc-shaped air outlet suitable for axial-flow air-assisted systems is designed. This artic...

Seed-to-seedling transition plays a crucial role in plant vegetation. However, changes in the metabolome of crop seedlings during seed germination and early seedling development are mostly unknown and require a deeper explanation. The present study a...

In the context of cutting grass in orchards, the practice of leaving cut weeds in the orchard rows hinders the decomposition of the weeds and the absorption of nutrients by the fruit trees. To address this issue, a grass-cutting machine with an integ...

In the contemporary discourse, smart agriculture (SA) stands out as a potent driver for sustainable economic growth. The challenges of navigating SA transition are notably intricate in developing nations. To effectively embark on this transformative...

This study presents a method for inhibiting ethylene production during the room-temperature storage of plum fruits, using gaseous ozone (O3). The proposed storage strategy involves the cyclic ozone treatment of fruits every 24 h with specified O3 dos...

This study examined the genes related to immunity, metabolism, and antioxidants that may interact with the prevalence of postpartum endometritis in Ossimi sheep. We used fifty endometritis-positive Ossimi sheep and fifty that appeared to be normal. F...

Nitrogen (N) fertilisers used in barley production serve as the primary contributors to total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Consequently, to lower the carbon footprint (CF) and GHG emissions, it is imperative to either reduce N fertiliser rates or...

In order to study the effects of dietary folic acid (FA) supplementation on growth performance and immune status in weanling piglets, a single factorial randomized block design trial was conducted with six diets supplemented with FA at 0, 0.30, 3.00,...

To reduce the application of phosphorus fertilizer and improve phosphorus efficiency in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) production, six peanut varieties with different phosphorus activation efficiencies were selected, and the root morphology, physiologi...
