Effects Of Mineral Fertilizers, Hydrogel, And Mulching On The Growth And Development Of Barley Plants In Sandy Desert Soils

2025-11-23T16:05:12+00:00

This article describes the effects of mineral fertilizers, hydrogel, and mulching on the growth and development of barley plants in sandy desert soils of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. Experimental results showed that agronomic practices applied during the barley growing season had a positive effect on maintaining soil moisture, increasing plant height, and yield. Particularly high barley growth rates and final results were achieved with the use of hydrogel and mulching in combination with mineral fertilizers. The practices recommended in this region contribute to increased barley cultivation efficiency.

This scientific article analyzes the practical significance of scientific innovations identified as a result of research conducted on the topic "Justification of the efficiency and flight-technical parameters of aircraft in agricultural work." In this case, the mathematical model of the effectiveness of agroaviation work, the assessment of the influence of flight parameters on efficiency through a multifactorial correlation model, and the forecast of the results achieved in 2025-2030 are highlighted. The influence of flight parameters on aircraft performance has been scientifically substantiated through a multifactorial correlation model, such as flight speed, operating altitude, payload weight, and operating time.

Also, the article fully explains the correlation and regression models corresponding to the research direction and graphically depicts the growth dynamics of the agroaviation efficiency index (ASI) in 2025-2030 through practical calculations.

Water Exchange Indicators Of Soybean Varieties Under Different Moisture Conditions

2025-11-23T16:05:13+00:00

The study investigated the water exchange indicators of seven soybean (Glycine max L.) varieties—Arisoy, Zara, Zamin, Chara, Olmos, Bars, and Optima—under different soil moisture conditions (70%, 50%, and 30% of total field capacity) in the meadow-alluvial soils of the Bukhara region. Field experiments were conducted to evaluate diurnal leaf water deficit using physiological measurements at various growth stages (budding, flowering, and pod formation). The results showed significant varietal differences in leaf water deficit depending on soil moisture and phenological phases. The highest deficit was recorded in Bars, Optima, and Zara varieties under 30% moisture, while Arisoy and Zamin maintained lower values, indicating better drought tolerance. Overall, decreased soil moisture increased water deficit across all varieties. These findings highlight the importance of selecting drought-tolerant soybean genotypes for stable yield under arid and semi-arid conditions.

The study discusses and draws conclusions about the differences in wool morphology across pasture areas and in the dynamics of parturition age.

Elucidating Microbial Community Dynamics, Co-Occurrence Networks, And Functional Potential In Corn Stover Silage: Implications For Fermentation Efficacy And Pathogenic Risk

2025-11-23T16:05:13+00:00

Background: Corn stover is a globally abundant agricultural byproduct with significant potential as livestock feed. Ensiling is a crucial method for its preservation, relying on microbial fermentation. However, a deep understanding of the complex bacterial community structure, their interactions, functional roles, and associated pathogenic risks during corn stover ensiling remains limited. This study aimed to elucidate these microbial dynamics to improve fermentation efficiency and ensure feed safety.

Methods: Corn stover was ensiled in laboratory-scale silos for up to 60 days. Fermentation quality was assessed by measuring pH, organic acids, and ammonia nitrogen. The bacterial community dynamics were profiled using high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Bioinformatic analyses were employed to determine microbial diversity and succession, construct co-occurrence networks to identify keystone taxa, and predict the functional potential of the microbiome using PICRUSt2 based on the KEGG database.

Results: The ensiling process was successful, characterized by a rapid pH drop to below 4.0 and a high concentration of lactic acid. Microbial community analysis revealed a distinct temporal succession, with initial epiphytic Proteobacteria being replaced by a dominant Firmicutes population. Specifically, Lactiplantibacillus (formerly Lactobacillus) emerged as the most abundant genus in mature silage. Co-occurrence network analysis identified several keystone taxa that likely drive community stability. Functional predictions showed a significant enrichment of pathways related to carbohydrate metabolism, consistent with vigorous lactic acid fermentation. Notably, genera containing opportunistic pathogens, such as Pseudomonas and Clostridium, were detected, though their relative abundance decreased significantly in the well-fermented silage.

Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive ecological perspective on the corn stover silage microbiome. Integrating community structure, network interactions, and functional predictions offers a deeper understanding of the fermentation process. The findings highlight the importance of promoting LAB dominance to not only ensure preservation but also to mitigate the risks associated with potential pathogens, thereby enhancing the overall safety and quality of silage.

Using Innovative Technologies In Growing Melissa Officinalis

2025-11-23T16:05:13+00:00

This article explores in depth the cultivation of Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) through the application of innovative agricultural technologies. As a medicinal and aromatic plant with high economic and pharmacological value, Melissa officinalis plays an important role in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. However, traditional cultivation methods are often limited by environmental conditions and inconsistent yields. Therefore, the adoption of modern approaches such as hydroponics, aeroponics, precision agriculture, automated irrigation, biostimulants, and renewable energy systems has become essential. These technologies not only increase productivity and essential oil content but also ensure sustainability by conserving water, reducing chemical inputs, and lowering environmental impact. Moreover, digital management systems, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things enable real-time monitoring and data-driven decision-making, leading to smarter and more efficient cultivation. Consequently, integrating innovation into the growing process of Melissa officinalis contributes to both ecological preservation and economic progress, making it a model for sustainable herbal agriculture in the modern era.
