Summary: This study was conducted in Tanzania to assess the residue effects of tobacco nicotine on maize crops, and found that nicotine residue in soil can decrease maize grain yield. It is recommended to supplement phosphorus and potassium nutrients when planting maize after tobacco to mitigate the negative effects of nicotine residue.

Summary: Nepal is a major rice producer in South Asia, but faces challenges in productivity and profitability due to poor nutrient management. The Nutrient ExpertVR (NE) tool has shown promising results in increasing yields and profits across farmers' fields in Nepal. The tool's performance varies across locations, being more effective in Terai region compared to mid-hills due to different soil and topographical conditions.

Summary: The major issue in modern agriculture is long-term sustainability. Nutrient management by integrating organic manures and inorganic fertilizers may play a vital role in improving and sustaining crop productivity. The results of a long-term field experiment show that the integrated use of organic manures and chemical fertilizers can improve soil fertility and crop yield, enhancing soil sustainability.

Summary: The response to biochar fertilization is most significant in field crops on acidic tropical soils, but there is limited information available for vegetable crops. A case-study conducted in Timor-Leste examined whether biochar can alleviate nutritional constraints in low-nutrient soils for vegetable production. Field trials and pot soil incubation trials were carried out, and it was found that biochar, particularly rice husk biochar, significantly increased vegetable yields in low-nutrient soil. The addition of phosphate in combination with biochar further augmented the yield.

Summary: Double-cropping rice cultivation reduces soil fertility, but the use of organic materials can help maintain fertility and improve grain yield. This study assessed the effects of five organic materials on grain yield and soil fertility over three years of experimentation. The results showed that applying organic fertilizers for three consecutive years increased grain yield and soil fertility in double-cropped rice.

Summary: The soils of Nepal have naturally high potassium levels, but recent studies have shown deficiencies in potassium levels in rice and wheat crops, especially in the inner-Terai and Terai regions. Increasing potassium fertilizer application rates beyond recommended levels significantly improved grain yields, suggesting a need for increased potassium application rates in the rice-wheat cropping system in Nepal.

Summary: Locally available organic inputs, either alone or in combination with inorganic fertilizers, can improve declining soil fertility and increase soil organic matter content in smallholder farms in most Sub-Saharan Africa countries. The study showed that the long-term application of integrated soil fertility management technologies can increase maize yields and soil carbon sequestration potential, with high Alkyl and O-Alkyl C SOM functional groups contributing to the increase.

Summary: The present study assessed the effects of water and nitrogen applications at the booting stage on yield, grain quality, and nutrient use efficiencies in fragrant rice. The results suggest that moderate nitrogen and irrigation input at the booting stage could improve the productivity and quality of the double rice production system with improved nutrient use efficiency.

Summary: Global climate change has a significant impact on plant growth and reduces crop productivity worldwide. Rice, as a vital food crop, is vulnerable to high-temperature stress from its early growth to reproductive stages. This review summarizes recent advancements in understanding the molecular mechanisms of heat stress responses in rice, including heat sensing and signaling, transcriptional regulation, transcript processing, protein translation, and post-translational regulation. The irreversible effects of high temperature on rice reproduction and grain quality are also highlighted. Challenges and opportunities for future research in this area are discussed.

Summary: Salinity is a major abiotic stress that limits rice grain yield. Meta-analysis and dose-response analysis of 58 studies were conducted to examine the response of grain yield and quality traits to salinity stress. The results showed that salinity stress significantly reduced grain yield, primarily due to a decrease in seed set rate, effective panicle number, and grain number per panicle. Salinity stress during the reproductive stage had a greater impact than during the seedling stage. Alkaline salts had a stronger effect on grain yield compared to neutral salts. Salinity negatively affected grain quality by decreasing head rice rate and increasing chalky rice rate, while having no significant effect on length-to-width ratio, brown rice, and total milled rice. These findings highlight the importance of improving effective panicle number and seed set rate for breeding salinity-tolerant rice cultivars, as well as considering grain quality in developing new rice cultivars for saline soil.

Summary: Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is a major constraint to rice cultivation in Africa, with high genetic diversity. This study developed specific RT-PCR primers to infer the resistance-breaking abilities of RYMV isolates, providing a molecular tool for optimizing the deployment strategy of resistant rice lines.
