Microbial enriched vermicompost efficiently substitutes soil nutrients, microbial populations and enzymatic activity for the growth and yield of tuberose (Agave amica Medik.) cv. Single.

The aim of the study was to reduce the chemical fertilizers with microbial inoculant-rich vermicompost, which enhanced the growth, flowering, and soil health of the tuberose crop. A total of six treatments were applied with reducing doses of synthetic fertilizers under a factorial randomized design and replicated thrice. In this study, vermicompost (VC) made from cow dung and vegetable waste utilizing Eisenia foetida and their mixed biomass were enriched with microbial inoculants and assessed for their impact on microbial and enzymatic populations including urease, acid phosphatase activity and dehydrogenase activity in soil, nutrient availability, and tuberose development and flowering.

Propolis Improved Methomyl-Induced Neurotoxicity in the Developing Brain of Albino Rats.

Methomyl pesticide is still widely used for controlling pests on crops throughout developing countries, which poses a great risk to neural development during pregnancy. The beneficial role of propolis has recently been proven. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of methomyl exposure on pre- and postnatal development of the brain in rat fetuses and pups in terms of oxidative stress, histopathology, ultrastructural alterations, molecular changes, and cognition.

Clinical and speckle tracking echocardiographic predictors of left ventricular thrombus following primary percutaneous coronary intervention for anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Background: Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) remains a serious complication of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), mandating timely detection and proper antithrombotic therapy. This study aimed to assess the incidence and possible clinical and echocardiographic predictors of LVT development.

Methods: This study prospectively included 300 patients with acute anterior STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).

Organic and inorganic fertilizers influence the productivity, fruit quality and nutrient use efficiency of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.).

Efficient nutrient management is crucial for profitable strawberry production. This study investigated the practical consequences of organic and inorganic fertilization strategies, assessing their influence on yield, fruit quality, nutrient uptake and efficiency and economic viability for the production of strawberry. Field experiments were conducted at the Horticulture Research Centre, BARI, Gazipur, Bangladesh, from 2019 to 20 to 2020-2021.
