Vol. 2 No. 1 (2024): Agricultural Research Reports

Agricultural Research Reports presents Volume 2, Issue 1 (June 2024), featuring one original research article and four review papers that explore plant stress physiology, crop improvement, soil fertility, and sustainable agricultural practices.

This issue includes:

• Molecular Insights into Maize Resistance to Drought and Nitrogen Deficiency (Review) — a comprehensive review of genetic and physiological mechanisms that enhance maize resilience under water and nutrient stress.

• Interdisciplinary Approaches to Mitigate Crop Stress for Sustainable Agriculture (Review) — examining physiological, genetic, molecular, and technological strategies to manage biotic and abiotic stress in crops, including precision agriculture and modern breeding approaches.

• Silicon–Microbe Symbiosis: Redefining Plant Stress Adaptation (Review) — a detailed review of how silicon and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria interact to alleviate abiotic and biotic stresses, highlighting their combined potential for sustainable crop resilience.

• Impact of Indole-3-Acetic Acid and Naphthalene Acetic Acid Foliar Application on Onion Growth with or without Mulching (Research Article) — a field-based study assessing the effects of auxin applications and mulching on onion growth and development.

• Boron Deficiency in Pakistani Soils and Its Impact on Cotton Physiology (Review) — a critical analysis of boron deficiency in soils and its consequences on cotton growth, yield, and physiological functions.

Collectively, the articles in this issue provide valuable insights into plant stress management, crop nutrition, growth regulation, and soil fertility, serving as a resource for researchers, agronomists, and policymakers seeking sustainable solutions in agriculture.
