Field evaluation of microbial antagonists for control of root rot and improvement of spring wheat productivity in Kazakhstan

This field study evaluated the effects of microbial seed treatments on field emergence, plant growth, yield components, and root rot development in spring wheat under the agro-climatic conditions of southeastern Kazakhstan. Two spring wheat cultivars, Diva and E-1, were used to a...

Spatiotemporal heterogeneity in the association between ambient air pollution and respiratory morbidity in the industrial Region of East Kazakhstan

Ambient air pollution remains a significant risk factor for respiratory morbidity, yet its spatiotemporal associations in the industrial regions of Central Asia remain insufficiently studied. To identify the association between airborne pollutants and respiratory morbidity in fou...

The Integrated Spatial Ecological Risk Assessment of Heavy-Metal Contamination in Arid Mining-Influenced Region in Central Asia

The spatial distributions of the potential ecological risk index (RI) and the geoaccumulation index (Igeo) in soils of the Zhetysu region (Kazakhstan) were examined. The enrichment factor ranged from 39.4 for cadmium to 21,481 for nickel. There are few non-ferrous metal enterpris...
