Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCattle Breeding Programs and Trait Preferences in EthiopiaMohammed Endris Seid, Kefelegn Kebede Kefenie et al.The success of livestock breeding programs depend on the active involvement of smallholder farmers, pastoralists, and agro-pastoralists in shaping breeding objectives and identifying key trait preferences based on specific production goals. This study aimed at assessing the relative importance of cattle-keeping objectives and trait preferences across mixed crop-livestock, pastoral, and agro-pastoral production systems in Ethiopia. We collected data from 180 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 9 Jun 2025 · 4,360 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnraveling the Mechanisms of Plant Structural Defenses against Insect PestsAroni Preya Biswas, Roksana Al Nafiu Insha, Md. Khairul Mazed et al.Plants employ a variety of physical, chemical, and genetic strategies to defend against herbivore attacks. These biochemical defense mechanisms are complex and dynamic, encompassing both direct and indirect responses. Defense-related chemicals, whether constitutive or induced by herbivore damage, significantly influence herbivore feeding behavior, growth, and survival. Plant defense systems impact herbivore nutrition, development, and survival, highlighting the importance of chemical … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 7 Jan 2025 · 5,796 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Performance and Yield of Brassica rapa Var. Chinensis with Takakura and Conventional CompostKiew Vincent Wei Shuen, Mohd Effendi WasliComposted organic waste from food and plants is great for enhancing crop productivity and agricultural sustainability. However, the different composting methods produced by compost with home-based waste applied to growing media for crop growth remain a topic to discuss. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the growth performance and yield of Brassica rapa var. chinensis (B. rapa) … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 24 Feb 2024 · 7,870 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBenchmarking Lightweight Deep Learning Models for Field Based Sorghum Leaf Disease DetectionPrince Daughin Ngqabutho NcubeSorghum is a climate-resilient cereal crop central to food and livelihood security across Southern Africa, yet its productivity is frequently reduced by foliar diseases that smallholder farmers struggle to diagnose reliably in the field. While deep learning has demonstrated strong potential for automated plant disease identification, sorghum remains underrepresented in the literature, and no prior study has provided a comprehensive, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 10 · 29 Sep 2026 · 548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Management and Fungicide Efficacy of Foliar Diseases in Spring Wheat in KazakhstanNadira Sultanova, Yerlan Dutbayev, Gulzada Abisheva et al.Spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a key economic crop in Kazakhstan. This study aimed to identify genetic sources conferring resistance to major foliar diseases and to quantify the contribution of fungicide application to yield stability. Field experiments conducted in 2024 assessed the resistance of 36 spring wheat genotypes, 17 common wheat and 19 durum wheat (T. durum Desf.), to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 17 Jul 2026 · 967 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvances in Modern Biotechnological Tools for Sustainable Control of Plant Viral DiseasesNabela Akter, Ankita Saha, Md. Abdullah Al Sabbir, Md. Motaher HossainPlant viruses pose a major threat to global food production, causing yield losses across many staple and horticultural crops. Conventional breeding for resistance is typically slow and constrained by the number of available natural resistance genes. Recent breakthroughs in biotechnology have enabled the development of accurate, flexible, and environmentally friendly technologies to confer virus resistance. This review summarizes exciting developments … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 16 Jul 2026 · 731 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Bokashi and Water Deficiency on the Growth of Kailan (Brassica Oleracea Var. Acephala) in East Nusa Tenggara, IndonesiaLaurensius Lehar, Suryawati, Tri Luchi Proklamita et al.Water scarcity poses a critical challenge to vegetable production in semi-arid regions such as East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, where sustainable soil amendment strategies are essential for maintaining crop productivity. This study investigated the interaction between water stress and coconut coir charcoal bokashi application on the growth and yield of kailan (Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra). The experiment was conducted at the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2026 · 1,272 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing Sweet Corn Growth and Yield through the Integrated Application of Bioneensis Biofertilizer and Rice Husk BiocharSumihar Hutapea, Saipul Sihotang, Adi Fathul Qohar et al.Sweet corn is an essential agricultural product in Indonesia and contributes to national food security. Consequently, numerous strategies can be implemented to increase the yield of sweet corn, such as intensified fertilization. While organic fertilizers like biofertilizers and biochar have shown potential to enhance crop growth, their combined effects on sweet corn, particularly under Indonesian conditions, are understudied. This study … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 6 Feb 2026 · 1,932 accessesView PDFCite
