            <description><![CDATA[In the southwestern part of Algeria, the stands of Atlas pistachio (Pistacia atlantica Desf.) constitute a special natural heritage. They are usually scattered between the steppe plains and the Saharan Atlas. This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the dendrometric characteristics of Atlas pistachio that could be indicators of good productivity. The aim is to investigate the influence of stationary factors (slope, exposure, geology) on the dendrometric characteristics of Pistacia atlantica. The results obtained on the dendrometric parameters of this species are very interesting. From a dendrometric approach, Pistacia atlantica is a large tree that can reach impressive dendrometric dimensions: 8 to 10 meters in height and a diameter often exceeding 100 cm. This dendrometric analysis allowed us to make a structural characterization of stands of Pistacia atlantica, which is an essential step in the management plan and the valuation in the medium or long term. This species of Pistacia atlantica deserves adequate measures of protection, especially in its natural environment. Therefore, a better knowledge of their potentialities, problems, and factors of the decline of this hardy species would contribute to the protection and the preservation to favour their regeneration, which would allow a better extension of this species.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Mining and quarrying operations exert a substantial influence on both the environment and nearby communities. Plenty of them can be found in mountainous areas of Transylvania. These activities, which involve the excavation of expansive open pits and the disruption of soil and vegetation, can lead to adverse consequences such as soil erosion, deforestation, habitat degradation, and water contamination. Mining and quarrying operations carry notable consequences for both the environment and the nearby communities. The interventions of contemporary humans have changed the landscape on an unprecedented scale. The signs of human involvement are apparent in numerous locations in the Giurgeului Depression; the Suseni quarry site is an example of a place that necessitates a comprehensive rehabilitation plan.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The largest mountainous lake in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lake Blidinje, is located 1,185 meters above sea level. Polymictic lakes are those in which the entire water column is frequently mixed. Shallow lakes function very differently than deep lakes in many ways because of the strong sediment– water interaction and the possibility for significant water impact on vegetation. In the multiple regression analysis, two models were developed with coefficients of multiple determination (R2 = 0.720 and R2 = 0.497) for the independent variable chlorophyll a. The resulting models are compared with water quality monitoring data from 2017 to 2019.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important edible food legume in the world. However, its cultivation encounters several phytopathogens. Our study aims to improve food quality and safety through more natural protection methods such as the use of microorganisms that allows us to avoid and minimize pesticide risks. For this purpose, we tested the antagonistic capacity of lactic acid bacteria isolated from raw goat’s milk against four fungal strains isolated from P. vulgaris var. djedida. In this study, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (Leuconostoc mesenteroides) were screened in vitro for antifungal activity at 28 °C against Fusarium oxysporum, Botrytis cinerea, Aspergillus flavus, and Alternaria alternata. The statistical analysis of the antifungal activity of LAB showed significant differences after a seven-day period. The results of the direct confrontation on the PDA (Potato Dextrose Agar) and MRS (de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe) Agar medium showed better inhibition by the lactic acid strain on MRS Agar medium. L. mesenteroides gave the highest inhibition rate of 57.6% for the pathogen B. cinerea and 29.1%, 33.3%, and 26.7%, respectively, for the pathogens A. alternata, B. cinerea, F. oxysporum, and A. flavus on the solid PDA medium. However, on the MRS Agar medium, inhibition rates of 88.1% and 80.5% were observed for the pathogens B. cinerea and A. flavus and a total inhibition of 100% on A. alternata and F. oxysporum in the presence of the strain L. mesenteroides. This study led to suggest that food-derived LAB strains could be selected for biotechnological application to control phytopathogenic fungi.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[All problems related to conventional agriculture are a reference to the search for sustainable solutions. In this context, a comparative study between three agroforestry practices (AFP): Citrus sinensis, Olea europaea, and Punica granatum, each associated with Vicia faba (Fabaceae), was conducted on Bordjias Plain. In order to study the impacts of each association on the physico-chemical properties and water and soil fertility, the soil samples were taken from two profiles (P1 under the tree and P2 between trees), through three horizons (Sh, Mh and Lh), before and after the establishment of culture. The results of the analyses show that moisture variability appears to be influenced by the type of soil and the woody species. By increasing the organic matter content, these associations improve the structural stability of the soil, accelerating the process of dissolution of calcium carbonate, changing the pH, EC, P2O5, CEC, and ion exchange in soil. The statistical approach (ANOVA) allowed us to bring out the positive impact of agroforestry practices on soil fertility.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Roses are one of the oldest and perhaps most noble and beautiful plants in the world. The propagation of roses by stem cutting is the simplest and a largely used method to multiply them. For the present experiment, seven varieties of roses were selected as follows: ‘Monika’, ‘Mr. Lincoln’, ‘Queen Elisabeth’, ‘The Fairy’, ‘Peace’, ‘King’s Ransom’, and ‘Don Juan’. To assess the differences between the varieties, growth, root length, root number, and frost damage were determined. The aim of the experiment is to determine which rose varieties are better suited to propagation by cuttings, which varieties have a higher rooting tendency, and to what extent the rooting could be influenced by rooting hormones [Incit-8 (0.8% of 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid) and Radi-Stim®]. From our results, it could be determined that the Incit-8 positively influenced the number of roots of all varieties. In conclusion, our research suggests that the rooting hormones increase the rooting of the rose varieties; moreover, that proper rooting could also be depending on the appropriate conditions.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This scientific paper explores the impact of soil salinity on plant growth, with a particular focus on the relationship between salt tolerance and seed germination. To investigate this, three species of Acacia (Fabaceae), namely A. karroo, A. saligna, and A. tortilis, were selected, and their seeds were collected from Algeria. To overcome seed coat inhibition, seeds were treated with concentrated sulphuric acid, followed by a wash with distilled water before being sown in a culture medium containing varying concentrations of salt, specifically sodium chloride (NaCl) ranging from 0 to 600 mM. The germination tests were conducted over a 21-day period, with measurements taken at intervals of three days, and both the final germination percentage (FGP) and mean germination time (MGT) were calculated. The results showed that at 600 mM NaCl concentration no germination occurred during the experiment. The germination rates exhibited three phases, an initial latency phase, a second exponential phase of accelerated germination, and a third plateau phase. A. karroo seeds demonstrated the highest salt tolerance, germinating under high salinity conditions of 400 mM NaCl, with a FGP of 66%. In contrast, A. tortilis showed significantly lower salt tolerance, with only 20% germination at the same concentration. A. saligna had the lowest salt tolerance, with germination only occurring under 150 mM NaCl concentration and with a FGP of only 18%. Based on these findings, the rank order of the studied species in terms of decreasing tolerance to high salinity conditions, as determined by their respective germination capacities, is as follows: A. karroo &gt; A. tortilis &gt; A. saligna. Although A. saligna was the most sensitive species, it was still categorized as a salt-tolerant glycophyte. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the impact of salt stress on Acacia species and could contribute to the development of salt-tolerant crops in the future.]]></description>

Among its many kinds, white wine stands out oenologically because of its diverse flavours, aromatic attributes, and capacity to mature. In this experiment, we established 3 different bud load levels (25%, 50%, and 75%) on the well-known white wine grape variety ‘Fetească Albă’. The sugar content significantly increased in the 50% and 76% groups, whereas there were no significant changes regarding titratable acid content, must quantity, and cluster weight.]]></description>

In this context, we studied the aphicidal and repellent effects of aqueous extracts of Salvia microphylla against A. pomi. Five concentrations were tested on two main aphid parameters: mortality rate and percentage of repellency. The results showed that concentrations of 10% recorded the highest mortality rate (73.33%) and percentage of repellency (62.59%). After further field investigations, the use of S. microphylla may constitute a component of the integrated management of aphids.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The aim of this work was to analyse the systemic structure of multifunctional agriculture (MFA) and its nexus with sustainability through a bibliometric review of existing literature. By monitoring articles published on the Web of Science platform, a sample of 432 documents was identified. Two software packages, Bibliometrix and VOSviewer, were used to map scientific collaboration networks. The results made it possible to identify the authors, journals, and countries that had given rise to the current structure of knowledge. Four broad thematic clusters were identified: a) MFA and sustainability; b) ecosystem services and biodiversity; c) European public policies; d) governance and urban agriculture. It is concluded that despite an increase in publication rates research is concentrated in Europe, and, furthermore, there are few collaborative networks between different disciplines, suggesting that SDG17 is not being achieved.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Winemaking has a very old history, which goes back thousands of years in the past. Numerous countries and geographical regions are known and acknowledged for their winemaking history. In Romania, there are countless winemaking regions that produce high-quality red and white wines. In the present experiment, we measured the quantitative and qualitative parameters of two red wines manufactured from worldwide-known varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) and two red wines produced from traditional grape varieties (Cadarcă/Kadarka and Fetească Neagră/Fekete Leányka). The data were collected in three different years to see if the traditional varieties could compete with the worldwide-known varieties. In terms of wine quality parameters, looking at total acidity, the Cabernet Sauvignon in 2018 while in terms of alcohol content the Fetească Neagră/Fekete Leányka in 2017 showed the highest values. From the sensory examination, it could be concluded that Fetească Neagră/Fekete Leányka yielded the best results in 2017, in 2018 the Cadarcă/Kadarka, and in 2019 the Merlot variety.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This study investigated farmers’ use of sustainable production practices for yellow pepper crop in the Nsukka agricultural zone, Enugu State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used in selecting 135 farmers and interview schedule using structured questionnaires was employed for data collection. Data generated were analysed with SPSS software using frequency and percentage, mean scores, standard deviation, factor analysis, and logistic regression. Findings revealed that the majority (91.1%) of the yellow pepper farmers had moderate knowledge on sustainable production practices and that some of the practices used were mass selection (97.0%), use of poultry manure (95.60%), use of improved varieties of yellow pepper (94.0%), crop rotation practices (91.10%), and minimum use of agrochemicals (78.50). Among the factors considered to be potential determinants of farmers’ use of sustainable production practices, only sex was statistically significant, at 5% level. Also, findings indicated that technical, institutional, and economic constraints affected farmers’ use of sustainable production practices. Furthermore, results indicated that sustainable production practices could be enhanced through the use of improved seeds (85.5%), access to credit facilities (77.8%), access to extension services (71.8%), and training of farmers (68.9%). The study therefore recommends that government and private sectors should provide services that will facilitate the development of sustainable production practices of Nsukka yellow pepper crop, as this will have a long-term effect on productivity and the production environment.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) seedlings are very sensitive to water stress during the nursery stage and early field establishment. Sawdust, carbonated rice husk, and compost in the following ratios (i) 60: 40: 0 – M1, (ii) 60: 30: 10 – M2, (iii) 60: 20: 20 – M3, (iv) 60: 10: 30 – M4, (v) 60: 0: 40 – M5, and (vi) topsoil – M6 as control were used to investigate the effect of growing media, water stress, and re-watering on the growth, dry matter production, and partitioning of cocoa seedlings. Each combination was subjected to water stress 6 weeks after sowing for a period of 4 weeks, after which they were rewatered. Plant height, stem girth, leaf number and area, and seedling biomass were significantly higher in soilless potting media as compared to topsoil. M4 and M5 significantly recorded the highest total dry weight, plant height, stem girth, leaf number, leaf area, and root volume before imposition of water stress. Following imposition of water stress, cocoa seedlings grown in M4 and M5 showed a recovery that was superior to the other growing media, indicating that higher proportions of compost together with sawdust and carbonated rice husk provide an alternative for growing cocoa seedlings.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Saline conditions affect plant development and significantly reduce its yield. Maize (Zea mays) is the one of main cash crops in Pakistan, and unfavourable saline conditions are among the core reasons for its reduced productivity, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. The identification of potential genotypes is essential for genetic modifications. By considering this situation, the current experiment was conducted to evaluate the inbred maize lines under different salinity levels. We evaluated ten maize inbred maize lines at seedling stage under three salinity levels (0 mM, 75 mM, and 125 mM NaCl). The highly significant (p ≤ 0.001) differences in inbred lines, salinity levels, and in their interaction were revealed by analysis of variance results for most of the traits. The results indicated that inbred lines D-135 and NCIL-20-4 performed better under saline conditions. Our results showed that salinity severely affects seedling growth. Accordingly, a significant decline was observed in root length, shoot length, root weight, and shoot weight, and these traits offered the maximum values for heritability and genetic advance. From the correlation and path coefficient analysis, it has been concluded that root length, shoot length, fresh root weight, and root density are the traits that can be beneficial for the identification of better germplasms under saline conditions and that are helpful for improving tolerance against saline conditions.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[We have identified weather factors that may influence the reproductive characteristics of roe deer and wild boar, and thus the harvest rates in the future. By exploring the weather and other factors affecting reproductive success, considering the likely scenarios of climate change, we hope to predict future changes in reproductive capacity and, in the light of these, estimate the necessary changes in harvest rates to maintain reasonable numbers of animals.]]></description>
