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...

Irrigation with simulated oilfield-produced water under semi-arid conditions: growth, seed yield, and oil quality of Moringa oleifera

Abstract Water scarcity in semi-arid regions motivates the evaluation of unconventional irrigation sources. This study assessed the growth, seed production, and oil quality of Moringa oleifera under irrigation with synthetic saline waters formulated to reproduce the electrical co...

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...
