ABSTRACT Livestock farming and its slurry management represent a significant contributor to global anthropogenic ammonia (NH3) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, resulting in negative impacts on the environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two microbial slurry additives (A1, A2) on the emissions of NH3, methane (CH4) and carbon

Compost Teas Reduce Verticillium dahliae Growth In Vitro via Direct and Volatile Effects
Compost teas suppressed the growth of Verticillium dahliae, the organism that causes Verticillium wilt in potatoes when V. dahliae was cultured with growth media containing compost teas. V. dahliae was cultured both with and without direct contact to the compost tea, and both methods suppressed V. dahliae growth. Graphical Abstract created in Biorender

Genomic investigations of successful invasions: the picture emerging from recent studies
ABSTRACT Invasion biology aims to identify traits and mechanisms that contribute to successful invasions, while also providing general insights into the mechanisms underlying population expansion and adaptation to rapid climate and habitat changes. Certain phenotypic attributes have been linked to successful invasions, and the role of genetics has been
