Physical properties of cereal grain and rape stem by S. Grundas, G. Skubisz

“…Significant effects were noted of the density of the canopy expressed in the number of plants per square meter, and of nitrogen fertilisation on the strength characteristics of rape stems obtained on the basis of tests of mechanical properties. …”

Endophytic Bacillus, Enterobacter, and Klebsiella enhance the growth and yield of maize by Amr M. Mowafy, Marwa M. Fawzy, Ahmed Gebreil, Ashraf Elsayed

“…The response of maize seedlings to the combined effect of these isolates revealed that Bacillus B2L2, containing treatments, surpassed the other treatments in growth vigour parameters and upon this result these treatments were applied in a field experiment either alone or in combination with 100% N fertilisation. Maize plants, inoculated with Klebsiella MK2R2 and Bacillus B2L2 either alone or in combination with Enterobacter E1S2 in the presence of urea, surpassed significantly other treatments as the weight of ear increased almost two times and the number of grains increased 1.8 times compared to the control values. …”

Visual recontextualisation of meaning in science research articles and News and Views articles by Jean Parkinson, Angelicia Anthony Thane, Erandi Kithulgoda, Zihan Yin

“…Written by experts outside the research team, they inform the wider scientific community of novel research, promoting a broader readership as well as cross-fertilisation between fields. Most studies of genres that recontextualise science research articles for a broader audience focus on textual meaning. …”

Élaboration d'un outil d'aide à la décision pour limiter les pertes en nitrate. L'exemple des principaux sols et systèmes de cultures du Val de Saône by S. NOVAK, A. VILLARD, F. KOCKMANN, O. BANTON

“…L'effet de différentes pratiques culturales (fertilisation, irrigation, implantation de soja, introduction de cultures intermédiaires) est également discuté, ainsi que l'impact de climats défavorables, tels qu'une sécheresse diminuant fortement les rendements ou une année humide génératrice d'un tassement des sols argileux.…”

The Case for Grazing Dairy Cows by J. Michael Wilkinson, A. Thomas Chamberlain, M. Jordana Rivero

“…Land best-suited to grazing is uncultivatable peaty soil receiving relatively low levels of fertilisation. With soil carbon sequestration, carbon footprint is lower for grazing than for other systems of milk production. …”

Sustainable land management by restoration of short water cycles and preventionof irreversible matter losses from topsoils by W. Ripl, M. Eiseltová

“…Such high losses continuously reduce soil fertility and can hardly be compensated by fertilisation. Some suggestions on how to achieve sustainable management of agricultural land and maintain high soil fertility are presented - the priority is to close water and matter cycles through the incorporation of more natural vegetation cover into our landscapes and to restore the energy-dissipative properties of ecosystems.…”

Female Infertility in Chronic Kidney Disease by Mahua Bhaduri, Ippokratis Sarris, Kate Bramham

“…Treatment options for infertility in CKD patients include GnRH agonists to preserve ovarian function during cyclophosphamide treatment, as well as assisted reproductive technologies including in vitro fertilisation and ovulation induction. However, these treatments must be tailored to the individual’s health status, comorbidities, fertility requirements, and CKD stage. …”

Relation between multi-nutrient soil tests and boron in barley by J. Matula, M. Pechová

“…Although the H2O soil test showed its lower universality, it is assumed to use the H2O soil test for prediction of B-status in soil when the history of previous fertilisation of the field will be known. The Mehlich 3 soil test did not prove to be suitable for diagnostics of B-status in soil.…”

ANTIOXIDANT THERAPY IS THE KEY TO THE TREATMENT OF IDIOPATHIC MALE INFERTILITY by R. I. Ovchinnikov, A. Yu. Popova, S. I. Gamidov, A. V. Kvasov

“…There is, however, a need for further investigation with randomised controlled studies to confirm the efficacy and safety of antioxidant therapy in the medical treatment of idiopathic male infertility as well as the need to determine the effective dose of each compound to improve semen parameters, fertilisation rates and healthy pregnancy outcomes.…”

Postharvest residues from grass seed crops for bioenergy by Simić Aleksandar, Čolić Vladislava, Vučković Savo, Dželetović Željko, Bijelić Zorica, Mandić Violeta

“…In this research, potentials of yearly biomass production of two important forage grasses grown for seed (Italian ryegrass and tall fescue) varying modes of sowing and nitrogen fertilisation were shown. As a byproduct, postharvest residues of Italian ryegrass reached to 8.8 t/ha in the Mačva region in favourable weather conditions, during 4-year production, while tall fescue reached in southern Banat 10.6 t/ha in the first and 15.1 t/ha in the second year of production.…”

Effect of legume proportion and physiological age on forage quality and the suitability of Agrostis capillaris L. and Festuca rubra L. for silage making by H. Laser, W. Opitz Von Boberfeld

“…A late first cut in summer had an unexpected positive effect on the WSC/BC ratio of the grasses in pure stands, though reduced nutritive value of silages made from plants of advanced maturity stages are in all probability because of low energy concentrations in the fresh matter even with high yield proportions of the legume. Absence of fertilisation and late utilisation do not affect the chemical requirements for the fermentation process of grass-rich herbage in principle. …”
