Site-Dependent Responses of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) to DAP-Based P2O5 and K2O Fertilization at Three Contrasting Sites in the Colombian Caribbean

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is an important food and income crop in the Colombian Caribbean, where fertilization is seldom guided by site-specific soil information. Three randomized complete block field trials with four replicates were conducted at contrasting sites in...

Unlocking seed germination potential through storage in desert flora: implications for restoration

Seed banking is an important strategy for ex situ conservation. In deserts, it supports restoration where seed production is variable and unpredictable. Effective seed storage requires an understanding of seed maturation, germination ecology and storage behaviour. This study asse...
