Growth and Yield Responses of Iron (Fe) and Boron on Groundnut in Ghana

Introduction Groundnut (Arachishypogaea L.) is one of the most important legume crops grown by farmers in Ghana. Groundnut kernels contain about 50% edible oil, 25–28% protein, and around 20% carbohydrate [1] and [2], and it is considered important for its nutritional, economic, and ecological value. In Ghana, groundnuts produce food for direct consumption in diverse

Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Stimulant Medications in Pediatric ADHD: Population-Based Cohort Study with Systematic Review

ADHD constitutes prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder affecting 5.29% children globally [1]. Core symptoms (hyperactivity, impulsivity, inattention) manifest across multiple settings causing significant cognitive, academic, behavioral impairment [9]. Untreated trajectory includes academic failure, social dysfunction, risk-taking behaviors [12]. Stimulantmedications modulate dopamine/norepinephrine neurotransmission representing first-line pharmacotherapy despite tachycardia, hypertension, psychosis concerns [3,4]. This systematic review synthesizes comprehensive long-term safety evidence

Exploring the Allelopathic Potential of Rice for Sustainable Agriculture: A Review

Introduction: In 1937, Austrian scientist Hans Molisch coined the term “allelopathy” to describe the chemical interactions occurring among plants. This ecological process significantly influences how plants adapt and coexist within their natural environments. [1],[2]. Allelopathy is a natural ecological phenomenon that has been observed and utilized in agriculture for centuries[3],[4]. The effects of allelopathy can

Evaluation of Biomass Stock in Two Differently Managed Forests of Nepal: A Case Study from Sindhupalchok District, Nepal

1. Introduction A carbon sink is a carbon pool from which more carbon flows in than out [1-3]. Forests can act as sink through the process of tree growth and resultant biological carbon sequestration. Activities like afforestation, reforestation (AR), sustainable forest management (SFM), and Conservation and Enhancement of forests acts as carbon sinks. Carbon source

Quantification of Above- and Below-Ground Carbon Stocks in Selected Community Forests of Nepal: A Case Study from Community Forest and Government Managed Forest of Sindhupalchok District, Nepal

1. Introduction Carbon is the term used for the C stored in terrestrial ecosystems, as living or dead plant biomass (aboveground and belowground) and in the soil. C=(0.50)*biomass. This means about 50% of plant biomass consists of Carbon [1-4]. To convert carbon in to CO2, the tones of carbon are multiplied by the ratio of
