Fluorescence In situ Hybridization (FISH) and Genomic In situ Hybridization (GISH) use fluorescent probes to locate specific DNA sequences or differentiate between entire genomes.
New research reveals how beneficial Bacillus bacteria can stimulate key metabolic compounds in Lippia origanoides microcuttings, enhancing its potential for pharmaceutical and agricultural uses—even under controlled water stress.
New research introduces plasma-activated fog (PAF), an eco-friendly technology that reduces fungal spoilage and pesticide residues in fruits, offering a sustainable postharvest treatment alternative.
A new study published in the International Journal of Tropical Insect Science reveals that commonly used insecticide mixtures, particularly thiamethoxam + chlorantraniliprole, are extremely toxic to Apis mellifera in Pakistan. The research calls for urgent measures to protect bee colonies during pesticide applications.
A new study in the Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition shows that silicon-enriched biochar derived from rice husks and wood chips can stabilize cadmium in paddy soils by raising soil pH and forming cadmium carbonates, reducing heavy metal bioavailability in rice fields.
Researchers from Universidad del Valle (Colombia) and the University of Saskatchewan have discovered a sustainable method for converting sugarcane green harvesting residues (GHR) into efficient solid biofuels. Published in BioEnergy…
A 2025 study in Discover Agriculture shows that integrating Acacia albida with pigeon peas boosts profitability and sustainability in Tanzania’s Kilombero District, outperforming traditional monocropping systems in both revenue and soil health benefits.
Researchers have identified four parasitoid wasp species that naturally attack the destructive Boisduval scale in Costa Rican banana plantations. The study shows reduced insecticide use enhances biological control, paving the way for eco-friendly pest management.
A new study published in the European Journal of Wood and Wood Products demonstrates how activated carbon made from orange peel waste strengthens particleboards by over 50 % and cuts formaldehyde emissions by up to 70 %, offering a sustainable, low-emission alternative for the wood industry.
A new study in BMC Plant Biology reveals that balanced nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) fertilization enhances sweetpotato yield by over 50% while improving nutrient use efficiency and maintaining soil balance. Phosphorus management emerged as the key factor in optimizing root yield and sustainability.
A new study in BioEnergy Research reveals that composted cow manure is the most sustainable and cost-effective method for managing livestock waste in Halland, Sweden—offering major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions compared to biofuel and biochar systems.
