Intra‐Plant Nitrogen Isotope Fractionation in Maize
ABSTRACT Background and aim The natural abundance of nitrogen isotopes (δ15N) provides a powerful integrative tracer of nitrogen uptake and assimilation in plants, yet the internal partitioning of δ15N among plant tissues remains insufficiently understood.

ABSTRACT Background and aim Conservation agriculture (CA) is rapidly gaining traction to promote sustainable crop production, focusing on minimum soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and strategic crop rotation. Moreover, hydrogel is increasingly being used to improve water retention, including in combination with CA, particularly in water limited ...

Abstract Objectives Human milk (HM) is the preferred nutrition for all infants, including preterm and low‐birth‐weight infants, but it may still pose infectious risks even after pasteurization. Data on the behavior of Bacillus cereus in HM are limited. We therefore investigated the growth and survival of B.

Synergistic effects of maize defoliation and common bean relay cropping in Western Ethiopia
Abstract Background Maize defoliation is practiced to enhance crop management by improving light penetration, nutrient allocation, controlling weeds, and providing supplementary feeds for livestock. A rapid decline in soil fertility and low crop yields associated with maize‐based monocropping has prompted the recent introduction of maize common bean ...
