Integrated nutrient management for maize phenology and growth performance: Biochar, vermicompost, and N‐P nutrients in northwestern Ethiopia

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Maize phenological and vegetative growth in the Nitisols of Burie District is hindered by issues such as high soil compaction (bulk density > 1.40 g cm−3), low total soil porosity (<50%), low total nitrogen (2.5 g kg−1), low organic carbon (2.11%), strong acidity (pH 4.94), and very low available phosphorus (11.69 mg kg−1).

Oviposition strategies and interactions among invasive and native fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) on guava (Psidium guajava L.)

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.
Abstract Oviposition and agonistic behaviour are important traits for understanding the pattern of coexistence and choice of host fruit shared between natives and invasive species. This study aimed to evaluate the interspecific interactions and the choice of the oviposition sites among three native species of fruit flies of the genus Anastrepha ...
