Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffective Thermophilic Composting of Crop Residues for Inactivation of Tobacco Mosaic VirusA.E. Ghaly, F. Alkoaik, A. Snow, R. SinghAn effective thermophilic composting bioreactor, in which a homogenous distribution of temperature was maintained at 63-65°C by the addition of a bioavailable carbon and low mixing, was developed. The bioreactor operated on a mixture of tomato plant residues-wood shavings-municipal solid waste compost infected with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). The initial C: N ratio and moisture content of the compost mixture … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,963 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Impact of Climate Factors on the Epidemiology and Management of Potato virus YMahabuba Mostafa, Md. Motaher HossainPlant viruses give rise to potential loss to global crop production and have the potential to cause widespread damage. Potato virus Y (PVY) is a plant virus that belongs to the genus Potyvirus and the family Potyviridae and it is considered a major concern, particularly for solanaceous crops such as potatoes. PVY represents the largest cluster of plant viruses, encompassing … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2024 · 4,758 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Technology for Agriculture at Extreme Altitudes: Design and Evaluation of a Sprinkler Irrigation System in a Peruvian High Andean CommunityJuan Eduardo Suarez Rivadeneira, Freddy A. Manayay, Daniel Olivier Carranza Lizana et al.In high-altitude agroecosystems, erratic rainfall patterns and steep topography severely constrain crop productivity by exposing plants to soil water deficits during critical phenological stages. This study aimed to enhance the productivity of eleven staple and horticultural crops corn (Zea mays), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), cucumber (Cucumis sativus), eggplant (Solanum melongena), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), carrot (Daucus carota), barley (Hordeum vulgare), celery (Apium … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 2 Oct 2026 · 645 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIoT-Based Smart Hydroponic System for Nutrient Management Using Predictive Machine Learning AlgorithmsPalash Gourshettiwar, K. T. V. ReddyHydroponics, an efficient cultivation method, benefits significantly from the precision and adaptability that Machine Learning (ML) algorithms can offer, along with the real-time monitoring facilitated by the devices using the Internet of Things (IoT). This study summarises the latest research and discusses how Machine Learning and the IoT work together, focusing on nutrient optimization, plant development, and resource efficiency. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 11 Mar 2026 · 3,046 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Natural Enemies to Control Greenhouse PestsSamia Juma AL-NaabiBiological pest control, often known as biological pest control or biocontrol, is a sustainable and ecologically friendly method of pest management in agriculture. It entails using living organisms including predators, parasitoids and diseases to control pest populations and reduce agricultural loss. In this research study, the researcher used certain natural enemies (ladybirds, lacewings and trichogramma evanescens) to test their effects … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 4 Aug 2024 · 5,194 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBacterial Diversity Change after Soil Fumigation and its Effect on the Population of Root-Knot NematodeMin Shan, Lihong Liu, Jing Chen et al.In order to explore the effects of soil fumigation on its bacterial diversity and root-knot nematode populations, the greenhouse tomato soil with root-knot nematode disease was fumigated during the summer idle period. This experiment used the high-efficiency organic sulfur soil fumigation treatment "Wofengkang"300 kg/hm2 to fumigate on the greenhouse tomato soil with a root-knot nematode incidence rate of 64.37% and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 2 Mar 2022 · 5,976 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Backward Regressed Capsule Neural Network for Plant Leaf Disease DetectionJennifer Jepkoech, Benson Kipkemboi Kenduiywo, David Muchangi Mugo, Edna Chebet ToolThis study investigated the introduction ofbackward regression coupled with DenseNet features in a Capsule Neural Network(CapsNet) for plant leaf disease classification. Plant diseases are consideredone of the main factors influencing food production and therefore fast cropdisease detection and recognition are important in enhancing food securityinterventions. CapsNets have successfully been adopted for plant leaf diseaseclassification however, backpropagation of signals to preceding … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 9 · 8 Sep 2022 · 5,718 accessesView PDF Cite

InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Biorganic Fertilizers on Productivity and Quality of Vegetables in the System of "Green" Vegetable Farming in the Conditions of the South-East of KazakhstanTemirzhan Erkasovich Aitbayev, Zharas Zholdybaevich Mamyrbekov, Akbope Temirzhanovna Aitbayeva et al.The purpose of the research was to study an influence of biofertilizers and new types of biological products for the yield and quality of vegetables in the South-East of Kazakhstan. In Kazakhstan, organic farming began to develop after the adoption of the Act "On Organic farming" in 2015.

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants.
