Overexpression of Bacterial mtlD Gene in Peanut Improves Drought Tolerance through Accumulation of Mannitol by Tengale Dipak Bhauso, Thankappan Radhakrishnan, Abhay Kumar, Gyan Prakash Mishra, Jentilal Ramjibhai Dobaria, Kirankumar Patel, Manchikatla Venkat Rajam

“…In the changing global environmental scenarios, water scarcity and recurrent drought impose huge reductions to the peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) crop yield. In plants, osmotic adjustments associated with efficient free radical scavenging ability during abiotic stress are important components of stress tolerance mechanisms. …”

Development and performance evaluation of a precision seeder for sustainable rice cultivation by Prabhat Kumar Guru, Atul Kumar Shrivastava, Suryakanta Khandai, Rabe Yahaya, Sudhanshu Singh, Virender Kumar, Priyanka Tiwari, Manoj Kumar

“…The seeder achieved a 25 % reduction in operational costs per hectare and an average 7.7 % increase in crop yield compared to manual drum seeding. These findings demonstrate the potential of the precision hill paddy seeder to transform rice cultivation by addressing labor and resource constraints while improving yield and operational efficiency.…”

Prospective of climate change impact on water resources and sugar beet yield in the Urmia Lake basin by Somayeh Naderi, Bohloul Alijani, Zahra Hedjazizadeh, Hasan Heidari, Karim Abbaspour

“…Afterward, the output was calibrated (1989-2004) and validated (2005-2014) in the SWAT-CUP software using the SUFI2 algorithm to simulate streamflow of 23 gauging stations and crop yield. The Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency was 0.43 and 0.53 for calibration and validation periods, sequentially. …”

Unveiling farmers’ perceptions: a citizen science and machine learning approach to exploring drivers in the adequacy and fairness of water systems by Vasilios Plakandaras, Fahad Khan Khadim, Vassiliki Kazana, Emmanouil Anagnostou, Amvrossios C Bagtzoglou

“…Harnessing the analytical power of machine learning models in extracting patterns from data, the informational content of social surveys coupled with hydrological data for the survey region from a calibrated MODFLOW-NWT groundwater (GW) model, we draw inferences on the importance of socioeconomic rather than hydrological variables as drivers in agricultural decisions about crop selection and planting period, underscoring those factors as potential criteria in drawing successful agricultural policies for crop yield optimization in the Great South area. This study extends the existing literature towards understanding the interplay between people and water under a qualitative framework with distinct policy implications.…”

Effects of rubber leaf litter vermicompost on earthworm population and yield of pineapple (Ananas comosus) in West Tripura, India by P. S. Chaudhuri, T. K. Paul, Animesh Dey, M. Datta, S. K. Dey

“…Conclusion The present study reveals that crop yield is very much related to the particular concentration of vermicompost, beyond the level of which production declines and increase in vegetative growth, fruit weight and fruiting percentage of pineapple are strongly linked with the soil pH, av. …”

Nano‐pyrite as a plant hormone regulator: Emulating seed hormopriming by Brijesh Kaler, Himanshi Jangir, Sabyasachi Sarkar, Jayprakash Sharma, Mainak Das

“…The aqueous pyrite suspension utilised in the process generates trace peroxide, and we propose that this trace peroxide plays a crucial role in orchestrating the increased GA: ABA ratio, anthocyanin content, and crop yield. These results position nano‐pyrite as a plant hormone regulator, effectively mimicking the seed hormo‐priming strategy. …”

Priming bumble bees with caffeine, odour of the target crop, and a food reward, has minimal effects on fruit crop pollination and yield in a semi-commercial setup by Sarah Arnold, Celine Silva, Jan-Hendrik Dudenhöffer, David Hall, Dudley Farman, Felix Wäckers, Philip Stevenson, Michelle Fountain

“…Some small effects of caffeine priming were observed (a slight increase in the proportion of visits to the target flowers in one trial), but after controlling for polytunnel identity, the priming treatment did not influence crop yield and quality. While caffeine priming of commercial bumblebee colonies may have potential to improve pollination in crops, further research is needed to optimise the system for in-field use. …”
