An effective and friendly tool for seed image analysis [PDF]
Image analysis is an essential field for several topics in the life sciences, such as biology or botany. In particular, the analysis of seeds (e.g. fossil research) can provide significant information on their evolution, the history of agriculture, plant domestication and knowledge of diets in ancient times.

Comparing various sulfur sources for soybean grown on an acid Oxisol in Brazil
Abstract A greenhouse experiment and a 2‐yr field trial were conducted to compare various S sources for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] grown on an acid Oxisol in Brazil. In the greenhouse, the sources included ammonium sulfate (AMS), monoammonium phosphate with a S ratio = 50:50 of AMS/elemental S (ES) – (AMS + ES), and ES + bentonite containing 90 ...

Effects of fused and blended fertilizers on maize yield and soil properties
Abstract The deficiency of secondary and micronutrients negatively affects plant metabolic functions and reduces crop yields. These nutrients are applied in small quantities (<10 kg ha−1) and are physically blended or chemically fused with primary nutrients to enhance uniformity of application.

Comparison of plant proximal sensing approaches for nitrogen supply detection in crops
Abstract Nondestructive proximal sensors can be an efficient source of information of N status in crops for localized and rapid adjustment of fertilization applications. The aim of this study was to compare two transmittance/reflectance‐based sensors (SPAD, ASD) and a florescence‐based sensor (Multiplex) in their ability to measure N content in corn ...

Replacing fallow with field pea in wheat production systems across western Nebraska
Abstract Integration of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) (FP) into dryland cropping systems has increased due to ecological and economic benefits, paired with a growing market for pea‐derived products. Challenges exist in the High Plains that limit the integration of crop rotations to replace fallow periods with FP in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)‐based ...

Does agroecosystem management mitigate historic climate impacts on dryland winter wheat yields?
Abstract Global studies that quantify climate effects on crop yields using top‐down spatial frameworks are invaluable for assessing generalized effects on world food supplies, yet do not contain the resolution necessary to identify local mediating effects of management. Our objectives were to identify (a) what climate factors have historically affected

We assessed the associations between the gut microbiota and outcome in metastatic triple‐negative breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy in combination with immunotherapy. Our data indicate that high gut microbiota alpha diversity was associated with improved clinical outcome and with benefit from immunotherapy.
