Three-Tiered Fertilizer Application with a Spreading Funnel of a Subsoil Tiller by F. M. Mamatov, Z. L. Batirov, M. S. Khalilov, J. B. Kholiyarov

“…The authors have shown that current methods of soil fertilizing for growing cotton crops in Uzbekistan do not ensure the full supply of nutrients to the root system of plants. Providing the required amount of fertilizers is distributed in tiers in the zone of root development, the ratio of their use and cotton yield will increase. …”

Do education, urbanization, and green growth promote life expectancy? by Haojun Zhang, Yunqiu Zhan, Keqiu Chen

“…Therefore, this study examines the impact of EDU, URB and GG on LEF in China from 1990 to 2022.MethodsThis study utilizes the unit root, cointegration test, and Auto Regressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, and for robustness analysis, we use the Fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and Dynamic ordinary least squares (FMOLS) methods.ResultsThe results show that education, urbanization and green growth have a positive and significant effect on life expectancy, while C02 emissions negatively affect life expectancy.DiscussionThese findings suggest that more resources should be allocated to public education systems to ensure access to quality education from early childhood through higher education and integrate comprehensive health education into school curricula to raise awareness about healthy lifestyles, nutrition, and disease prevention. …”
