Exploiting agricultural residues for sustainable bioconversion: production of cellulolytic and lignin‐degrading enzymes

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 19, Issue 6, Page 1997-2010, November/December 2025.
Abstract Agroindustrial activity generates substantial waste during harvesting and processing. This study investigated the potential use of sugarcane bagasse, corn cob husk, and wheat bran as substrates for enzyme production by Aspergillus niger and Ceriporiopsis subvermispora. Aspergillus niger and C. subvermispora exhibited comparable filter paperase

ROOT STRENGTH MEASUREMENTS OF VETIVER AND RUZI GRASSES

Lowland Technology International, 2014
This paper aims to study effect of roots of vegetation on the stability of soil along slopes and also soil erosion. The effects of root reinforcement depend on the morphological characteristics of the root system, the tensile strength of grass roots, and the spatial distribution of the roots in the soil. The experiments were carried out to evaluate the

Efficiency of Vegetative Filter Strips in Mitigating Soil Erosion and Surface Runoff

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 14, Page 4845-4859, 30 August 2025.
ABSTRACT Vegetative filter strips (VFS) are widely used in agriculture to reduce soil erosion and sediment transport during heavy rainfall events. This study assessed their effectiveness in controlling surface runoff and sediment transport under controlled field conditions.
