Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiversity and Allelopathic Potential of Weeds among Panamanian Coffee CropsLilia Cherigo, Jorge Lezcano, Sergio Martínez-LuisWorldwide, coffee is one of the most highly consumed and produced crops. Coffee production is a significant activity in the Panamanian economy, mainly in rural communities and among indigenous groups in the Chiriquí province highlands. Weeds growing alongside coffee plants can provoke considerable economic losses for producers by interfering with the growth, development and yield of coffee crop in cultivated … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,467 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Skidding Operations on Soil Carbon Storage of a Tropical Peat Swamp ForestAnton Eko Satrio, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: There is still lack of a study that compares the soil carbon storage of kuda-kuda skidding system and excavator skidding system in tropical peat swamp forests. The objective of this study was to determine whether skidding operations affects soil carbon storage of a tropical peat swamp forest. Approach: Soil sampling was conducted on two different plots (0.3 ha … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,712 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization of Banana (AA) Diploids with Contrasting Levels of Black and Yellow Sigatoka ResistanceClaudia Fortes Ferreira, Sebastiao Oliveira Silva, Nivia Paula Damasceno Sobrinho et al.Most banana cultivars are susceptible to many diseases, whereas Sigatoka leads to greatest yield losses. One of the strategies to overcome this disease is thorough banana genetic breeding which consists in the obtainment of improved (AA) diploids which are then crossed with triploids obtaining (AAAB) tetraploid disease resistant bananas also presenting other important agronomic characteristics. The prior knowledge of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 7,660 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSeasonal Pattern of Varroa Mite Infestation and Its Impact on Honey Production in Apis mellifera Beekeeping in Chitwan, NepalSujan Amgai, Kedar DevkotaHoneybee colony health and productivity are severely affected by infestations of Varroa mites, which have become one of the most significant threats to apiculture due to their role in colony weakening, reduced productivity, and increased colony losses worldwide. The study was conducted in Chitwan district to assess beekeepers’ perceptions on mite infestation in different seasons, its effect on honey production, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 14 Aug 2026 · 1,245 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEarly Plant Disease Detection Using Graph Isomorphic Networks: Enhancing Crop Yield Through Leaf AnalysisD. Sumathi, Sreejyothsna Ankam, Pravin Prakash Adivarekar et al.The economy of Tanzania is mostly driven by agriculture. Disease is one of the reasons that contributes to the low production of staple foods like cassava and maize, alongside climate change. Loss of income and food security are the results. In order to detect the diseases early, preventative measures are required. A potential option for farmers could be the use … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 9 · 15 Oct 2025 · 3,107 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPlants Responses to Nutrients Follow the Saturation Kinetic Typical of Enzyme Systems: Biological, Economical and Environmental ImplicationsR.P. LanaAgricultural efficiency has been associated with high plant productivity. However, it is dependent on fertilizers, which are nonrenewable resources. Crop production response to fertilizers is hyperbolic, following the Michaelis-Menten model and the law of diminishing return. Data of crop production (barley, bean, corn, cotton, soybean and wheat) as a function of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization were analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,898 accessesView PDF Cite
