Weeds have acquired resistance to commonly used herbicides, and to replace them, new products, including those of natural origin, have been produced. This study evaluated the neurotoxicity, cytotoxicity, and changes in the antioxidant system caused b...

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a polymorphic species that synthesizes an array of bioactive metabolites, with cannabinoids and terpenoids constituting the major chemical classes. Until recently, the lack of legislative framework led to limited research...

Since the late 1970s, brown spot of pear (BSP), a fungal disease caused by Stemphylium vesicarium (Wallr.) Simmons, has been one of the most important pear fungal diseases in Italy. To protect orchards from BSP, frequent fungicide application is esse...

Pinus taeda plantations have been facing declining productivity in South America, especially due to competition for natural resources such as light, water, and nutrients. Competition with spontaneous vegetation in the early years is one of the main c...

Chitosan is an eco-friendly polysaccharide, enhancing growth and managing disease infections in fruits and vegetables. This study examines the effects of preharvest application of chitosan and calcium (Ca) on yield and postharvest chitosan coating on...

Surfactants are widely utilized in agriculture as emulsifying, dispersing, anti-foaming, and wetting agents. In these adjuvant roles, the inherent biological activity of the surfactant is secondary to the active ingredients. Here, the hydrophilic non...

The conventional agricultural industry largely relies on pesticides to maintain healthy and viable crops. Application of fungicides, both pre- and post-harvest of crops, is the go-to method for avoiding and eliminating Botrytis cinerea, the fungal pa...

This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance and environmental impact of controlled-release coated fertilizers (CRCFs) in upland maize systems. Specifically, we sought to determine the optimal nitrogen (N) application rate that maximizes ni...
