Effect of coir fiber loading on mechanical and morphological properties of oil palm fibers reinforced polypropylene composites [PDF]
, 2014 Hybrid composites were fabricated by compounding process with varying the relative weight fraction of oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) and coir fibers to assess the effect of hybridization of oil palm EFB with coir fibers in polypropylene (PP) matrix ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extreme heat can push plants beyond their thermal safety margin (TSM) if maximum leaf temperature (Tleaf_max) exceeds leaf critical temperature (Tcrit). The TSM is potentially useful for assessing heat vulnerability across species but needs further validation, so we exposed 50 tree/shrub species in controlled glasshouses to a 6‐day heatwave ...

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Using recycled water for agriculture offers a sustainable approach by adding inherent nutrients and moisture to the soil. However, it contains unwanted contaminants such as heavy metals like cadmium at lower concentrations. This study assessed the comparative response of three leafy crops ‐ lettuce, Indian spinach and methi, against cadmium ...
