Influence of millet varieties on fertilizer application rates and plant spacing in Sudan savanna by Abdulrahman Ibrahim, Mannir Isah Kerau

“…In order to find out how different pearl millet varieties affect fertilizer application rates and plant spacing in the Sudan savanna of Nigeria, two field experiments were carried out in a purely sandy loamy soil environment at the teaching and research farm of the Basic Vocational Agriculture School Tambu-Daura situated at 120 59'34 N, 80 16'58 E, and 549 meters above sea level) in Katsina State, Nigeria in the growing seasons of 2022 and 2023. Three different varieties of pearl millet (DANDIGALI, JIRANI, and SOSAT) were used in the trial, along with two plant spacing (50 cm and 70 cm) and two different fertilizer application rates (100:50:50 and 80:40:40). …”

Assessment of Organic Matter Influence on the Ecological Integrity of Poyang Lake Using O/E Model and Chemical–Biological Indices over the Past Two Decades by Jindong Wang, Wenjie Huang, Chenglian Feng, Hongyang Wang

“…In this study, several biological and water quality surveys on water ecological conditions were carried out at 11 sampling points of Poyang Lake from 1998 to 2022, and the ecological health of Poyang Lake was evaluated by use of the O/E (Observation/Expectation) model and the chemical–biological index method according to the status of the water quality and the structure of the benthic fauna in the four seasons, respectively. The results showed that the benthic community structure is simple, and the biodiversity is low, which is mainly dominated by Insecta in Arthropoda and Oligochaeta in Oroidea, accounting for 84.3% and 42.4%, respectively; the results of the O/E index evaluated under the threshold of probability of capture ≥ 0.5 showed that the health grade of all sections was sub-healthy or average, which was consistent with the results of the chemical–biological composite index evaluation. …”
