The antifungal effectiveness of essential oils (EOs) and their predominant components were tested on 14 phytopathogenic fungi isolated from olive trees. Commercial EOs from holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum L.), Chinese cinnamon (Cinnamomum aromaticum N...

The accurate prediction of soil organic matter (SOM) content is important for sustainable agriculture and effective soil management. This task is particularly challenging due to the variability in factors influencing SOM distribution across different...

The layered soil crushing rotary tillage machine with L-shaped reclamation rotary blades and rotary-reclamation rotary blades combination was designed to deal with the problems of a low soil fragmentation rate, low straw mulching rate, and poor surfa...

Kernel breakage and fungi-induced hot spots can easily lead to potential safety hazards in maize storage. The objective of this study was to focus on the formation and development of hot spots in maize bulk with two different broken kernels contents...

Gouda-type cheese originated in the Netherlands, but is now produced all over the world. Analogue cheeses are cheese-like products with a lower price level that are based on non-dairy fats and proteins. The market demand for analogue cheese is curren...

Previous studies have shown that selenium (Se) can influence rice growth and yield. However, the Se effect on rice lodging remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the impact of different Se treatments on seedling growth and stem sheath hardn...
