Biochar for Low-Carbon Energy Crop Systems: Bibliometric Trends, Agronomic Evidence, and Soil Carbon Sequestration Pathways from 2007 to 2025

Abstract This bibliometric and critical review examines the evolution of scientific research on biochar application in energy-crop systems, emphasizing biomass productivity, soil quality, and soil carbon sequestration from 2007 to 2025. The bibliometric assessment comprised 409 r...

Sorption, desorption, and leaching of S-metolachlor in two soils amended with maize stover

S-metolachlor is widely used across various crops for its effectiveness as a grass herbicide and is considered pivotal, particularly amidst multiple cases of resistance in weed biotypes of the Poaceae family. In no-till systems, the presence of surface residues can modify herbici...

Non-conventional Water Resources for Irrigation: a Critical Scientometric Review of Global Research Trends, Evidence Gaps, and Priorities (2020–2024)

Water scarcity has accelerated scientific interest in non-conventional water resources for irrigation. This study combined performance analysis, science mapping, and a critical interpretive synthesis of Web of Science literature published from 2020 to 2024 to evaluate not only th...

Biodegradation of Diuron By Indigenous Soil Bacteria Isolated From Herbicide-contaminated Sites

Abstract Residual herbicides are widely used in weed management; however, their persistence in the environment can lead to agronomic and ecological impacts. This study assessed bacterial isolates obtained from sugarcane soil with a history of diuron exposure for their ability to...
