Ultrasonication as a Green Processing Technology for Modulating the Physico‐Chemical, Rheological and Proximate Properties of Pearl Millet and Bambara Groundnut Flours

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Ultrasonication has emerged as an environmentally friendly processing technology for modifying the functional characteristics of food materials; however, its effects on underutilized cereal–legume systems remain insufficiently understood. This study investigated the influence of ultrasonication amplitude (25%–75%) and treatment duration (30–60

Integration of Biochar and Rainwater Harvesting to Improve Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) in Semi‐Arid Regions of Zimbabwe

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Crop production has been declining in semi‐arid areas over the past two decades due to several biophysical constraints, including soil infertility and water stress induced by low rainfall. The objective of the experiment was to evaluate the effects of biochar and rainwater harvesting techniques on soil moisture content, bulk ...

Association mapping for canopy temperature under irrigated and rainfed conditions at 12 environments identified both known and novel genetic loci

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) is the most widely cultivated oilseed crop and faces significant yield challenges due to drought stress. Canopy temperature has been proposed as an effective proxy for evaluation of differences in genotypic responses to water limitation, as well as indirectly assessing transpiration and stomatal conductance ...

Influence of organic nutrient sources and moisture management on productivity, biofortification and soil health in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) + clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonaloba) intercropping system of semi-arid India

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016
A field experimentation was carried out at New Delhi, India for three years (2010-12) under rainfed semi-arid conditions to assess the effect of three organic nutrient sources and two moisture management practices on productivity, biofortification and ...

Multiphase and Heterogeneous O3 Chemistry on Aerosol and Infrastructural Surfaces Drives Cl2 Sources in a Coastal City

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Molecular chlorine (Cl2) is a key source of chlorine atoms (Cl∙) in the atmosphere, which can alter local oxidation chemistry and enhance both ozone (O3) and particulate matter. While Cl2 levels in some coastal cities can be substantial and are enhanced by particulate nitrate, the presence and impact of Cl2 in US cities is poorly understood ...

Effects of Commercial and Locally Formulated Diets on Growth Performance of Juvenile Oreochromis andersonii in a Hatchery System

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In Namibia, the aquaculture sector faces significant challenges, mainly due to the high cost of imported commercial feed, which limits small‐scale farmers' productivity and food security. To address this, locally formulated feeds must be evaluated as sustainable alternatives.

Efficient Solketal Synthesis via Acetalization Using Sulfonated Carbon From Lavender Leaf Waste After Essential Oil Extraction

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
Sulfonated carbon catalysts were synthesized from lavender leaf waste after essential oil extraction via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC). Under mild, low‐energy conditions, the catalyst achieved 97% glycerol conversion and 98% solketal selectivity. This approach valorizes agricultural residues and crude glycerol from biodiesel production, contributing

Assessing trade‐off risk between crop production and vertebrate biodiversity in three African countries

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2796-2814, August 2026.
Abstract Governments worldwide are committed to eliminating hunger and conserving biodiversity, reflected in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger) and 15 (Life on Land). Expanding agricultural lands to meet growing food demands often threatens biodiversity, creating potential trade‐offs between these objectives. To understand the
