Soil Silicon Application Alleviates Drought Stress in Sugar Beet (Beta vulgaris L.)

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background: The increasing frequency and intensity of drought events have led to yield and quality losses in sugar beet production in temperate regions in Central Europe. Under arid conditions, silicon (Si) application reduced beet yield losses under drought. Similar data for temperate climates are missing.

Abundance of atrazine degrading genes trzN versus atzA in soil cultures and in situ degradation rates

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Atrazine degradation in agricultural soils showed in situ half‐lives of 36–225 days. Field and laboratory results indicate active microbial hydrolysis driven mainly by trzN. Biphasic degradation sustains long‐term persistence, maintaining the potential for groundwater contamination despite reduced immediate leaching risk.

Plasma‐Enabled Simultaneous Synthesis and Nano‐Anchoring of TiO2−x Nanolayers on Mesoporous Bio‐Silica for Effective Photodegradation of Tetramethylammonium Hydroxide

SusMat, EarlyView.
A defect‐rich TiO2−x nanolayer was simultaneously synthesized and nano‐anchored on a mesoporous bio‐silica (diatomite) through a rapid, low‐temperature atmospheric‐pressure plasma process in aqueous media. The optimized TiO2−x/bio‐silica composite (DE 700) exhibits oxygen vacancies, an anatase–rutile heterointerface, broad solar‐spectrum absorption ...

Content analysis of TikTok videos about tick prevention methods for dogs and cats

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Social media is a major source of pet health information. On platforms such as TikTok, algorithm‐driven recommendations may expose users to health‐related content even without active searching. This study described tick prevention videos on TikTok.

Comparative efficacy and studies of mode of action of minerals from diatoms against three species of filth flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 478-488, September 2026.
Mortality for diatomaceous earth was observed as early as 2 h after exposure with 50% and 90% mortality at 3.5 and 4.6 h (LT50 and LT90, respectively) for Musca domestica. The LT50 and LT90 increased when the size of the fly species increased (M. domestica to Cochliomyia macellaria to Sarcophaga bullata) and increased for all three from 50 to 70 ...

Macroalgae and Bivalve Interactions: A Review of Trophic and Feeding Studies to Assess the Contribution of Macroalgal Detritus to Bivalves

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
ABSTRACT There is growing interest in the co‐culture of macroalgae and filter‐feeding bivalves due to anticipated trophic benefits that may enhance the productivity of both organisms. Detritus from cultured macroalgae has the potential to supplement bivalve diets, yet few studies have directly examined this relationship in co‐culture systems.

Cabbage pest control with local inert dusts: do diatomaceous earth and wood ash have the highest potential?

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. alba) production in Europe faces challenges from insecticide resistance and environmental concerns. Inert dusts offer a promising alternative, but their field efficacy remains underexplored.

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.
