Total mixed ration silage has been used as a strategy to optimize the use of dry and wet feed in ruminant feeding. Another promising technique is silage reallocation, which allows producers to divide the ensiled material in large silos into smaller u...

This study examines the impact of soil hydraulic parameterization on simulating soil water content in a drip-irrigated grapefruit orchard (Citrus paradisi Mac.) using precise laboratory measurements and the HYDRUS 2D/3D model. Undisturbed soil sample...

The late spring cold spell severely affects the growth of litchi flower buds. Melatonin, as a signaling molecule, can enhance the plant’s ability to resist abiotic stress by regulating multiple physiological processes. However, there are few st...

The aim of this study was to investigate how biomass production and element distribution (nutrients and heavy metals) among plant organs (roots, stems, and leaves) were influenced by substrate physical and chemical properties, using acidophilic plant...

Nitrogen fertilizer setback and planting density both affect wheat yield. However, the differences in winter wheat yield and its components, canopy structure, and microenvironment caused by N fertilizer setback at different planting densities are not...

Revealing the changes in organic carbon (OC) and labile organic carbon (LOC) fractions in soil aggregates is of great significance for better understanding of soil carbon sources and carbon sink effects in tea plantations. In this study, soil samples...

Searching for crop cultivars that are resilient to environmental stresses is crucial for maintaining global agricultural production. Our study aimed to screen semiarid-adapted cotton cultivars performing well under water-restricted conditions. Trials...

Drought is the main stress on maize, and, in order to improve drought tolerance, a breeding program for reduced anthesis-silking interval (ASI) was carried out in Algiers. The objective of this study was to investigate if the selection for reduced AS...

This study investigates the effects of various treatments on soil pH, SOC, and crop yield in red soil with a pH of 4.25 through a two-year field experiment, using a rapeseed and sesame cropping system. The treatments included the control (CK); lime (...

The global demand for legumes has grown significantly since the 1960s, due to their high protein content and environmental benefits. However, this growth could also facilitate the spread of seed-borne pathogens like Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens...
