Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Agritechnologies on the Biomass and Nutritional Parameters of Crops: A Study of Corn, Soybean, and Pea in Southeast KazakhstanGulvira Yessenbayeva, Aruzhan Ilyas, Serik Kenenbayev et al.The study investigates the impact of various agritechnologies on the biomass and nutritional parameters of corn, soybean, and winter pea cultivated in Southeast Kazakhstan. This research is particularly relevant given the significant challenges facing agriculture in Kazakhstan, including soil degradation, reduced arable land, and the need for sustainable farming practices. Organic and traditional farming methods were evaluated for their effectiveness … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2026 · 1,600 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecoding Late Blight of Potato and Tomato: Insights into Pathogen Dynamics, Host Interactions and Emerging SolutionsHumayra Ferdus, Mahabuba Mostafa, Dodi Al Sharif, Md. Motaher HossainThe oomycete Phytophthora infestans is the source of late blight, a devastating disease that significantly impacts on tomato and potato cultivation worldwide, threatening food security and causing considerable economic losses. This review explores the epidemiological dynamics of late blight, focusing on the pathogen's life cycle, reproductive strategies, and molecular pathogenesis. Traditional management strategies, including cultural practices, host resistance, and biocontrol … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 5 Feb 2026 · 2,530 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Empirical Investigation of the Pollution Haven-Halo Nexus in Eastern and Southern AfricaPaul KauluThis study looks into the relationship between trade and pollution in Eastern and Southern Africa from 1977 to 2016. This timeframe is particularly relevant as it was marked by rising CO₂ emissions despite major climate agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol (1997), Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+, 2007), as well as the Paris Agreement (2015). Using time-series … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2026 · 2,917 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Edge Efficient and Lightweight Hybrid CNN Vision Transformer Network With CBAM for IoT Based Plant Disease DetectionNyabeye Pangop Doris-Khöler, Kengni Ngangmo OlgaDetecting crop disease early enough to act on it remains a bottleneck for smallholder and precision farming alike, particularly when diagnosis depends on manual inspection or lab analysis that cannot keep pace with an outbreak. We present AgriViTNet, a compact CNN-Vision Transformer hybrid built for exactly this constraint: It extracts local texture cues through convolution, relates them across the whole … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 9 · 20 Sep 2026 · 578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproved Compost Production from Fruit and Vegetable Market Waste: A Case Study in Bagua, Amazonas (Peru)Juan Eduardo Suarez Rivadeneira, Freddy A. Manayay, Wilfredo Ruiz Camacho, Juan Francisco Robles RuizInadequate management of organic solid waste in municipal markets represents a critical environmental challenge in tropical developing regions, where high humidity (>80%) and elevated temperatures (>25°C) accelerate decomposition, generating leachate and greenhouse gas emissions. In Peru, over 50% of municipal waste is organic, yet less than 20% is valorised through composting, highlighting a substantial technological gap. This study evaluated an … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 11 Aug 2026 · 1,262 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSwiftlet Bacteriophages Concerning Diversity and Biological Features in South Kalimantan, IndonesiaSiti Gusti Ningrum, Hana Cipka Pramuda Wardhani, Intan Permatasari HermawanWe aimed to isolate and characterize bacteriophages infecting Nitrobacter spp. from swiftlet house environments and to evaluate their biological properties as potential biocontrol agents to mitigate nitrate accumulation in edible bird’s nest (EBN) production. Environmental samples were collected from multiple swiftlet houses in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Samples were enriched with Nitrobacter cultures, and bacteriophages were detected using spot assays followed … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 17 Apr 2026 · 1,759 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimalization of the Swim-Up Method for Bali Bull Sperm: Effect of Incubation Time and Medium on Sperm KineticsAthhar Manabi Diansyah, Muhammad Yusuf, Rahmat et al.Bali bulls (Bos javanicus) are an essential part of Indonesia’s indigenous livestock, prized for their ability to thrive in challenging environments, their natural disease resistance, and their strong reproductive capabilities. The aim of this study was to refine the swim-up technique for preparing Bali cattle sperm. We evaluated the effects of two commonly used media Tyrode's Albumin Lactate Pyruvate (TALP) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 9 Feb 2026 · 1,687 accessesView PDFCite

The aim of this study was to assess the agronomic, soil, and economic effects of BioEcoGum application on corn (Zea mays L.) cultivated on light chestnut soils in southeastern Kazakhstan. A randomized block design was used, incorporating … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 9 Jan 2026 · 2,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInternet of Things and Human Neocortex Inspired Algorithms for the Plant Disease Prediction-Sheath Blight for Paddy PlantThangaraj Ethilu, K. Parthiban, Arockia Jayadhas S et al.Sheath blight disease (Rhizoctonia solani) poses a critical threat to paddy (Oryza sativa) production, causing up to 50% yield losses under conducive environmental conditions. Existing computer vision-based disease detection systems identify infections only after symptom manifestation, while conventional machine learning prediction models suffer from high computational demands, data preprocessing requirements, and noise sensitivity. This research proposes a novel Hierarchical Temporal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 11 · 18 Dec 2025 · 1,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Usability of IoT-Based Smart Farming for Sustainable Organic AgricultureArisaphat Suttidee, Pankom Sriboonlue, Sompoch Tongnamtiang, Varitha LakkhamThis study evaluates the usability of an IoT-based smart farming system developed to support organic agriculture in Thailand. Many small-scale farmers still spend considerable time manually monitoring soil conditions and managing irrigation, often without access to practical technology.
