Awareness and perception of genetically modified maize crops among farmers in Abia State, Nigeria by Obiageri Oparaojiaku Joy, Uzoma Izuogu Chibuzo, Ikpeoha Kakie Njoku Joachim, Martha Ekweanya Ndidiamaka, Amah Okorie David, Ekunyi Umeh Ngozi

“…Among the perceived constraints in cultivating these crops were the difficulty of selling them in the market (x̄=3.4), threat of the negative influence of climate change on the expected yield (x̄=3.2), and the likelihood that these crops may require much inputs, like fertilizer and herbicides (x̄=2.8). Age (b=1.023), previous experience with improved crop varieties (b=2.112) and internet access (b=2.317) had a positive influence on farmers' perception but the number of household members with a tertiary school degree (b=-0.721) had a negative influence. …”

Introduction of Panax notoginseng into pine forests significantly enhances the diversity, stochastic processes, and network complexity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil by Xiaoyan Zhao, Shu He, Rui Rui, Jingying Hei, Xiahong He, Shu Wang

“…The organic management of the Panax notoginseng (sanqi)-Pinus armandii agroforestry (SPA) system resulted in nitrogen deficiency because of the lack of application of chemical fertilizers. Therefore, assessing the variability in NFB due to the cultivation of sanqi in the SPA system becomes crucial.MethodsThe seasonal dynamics in the abundance, diversity, and community structure of NFB in the soil of monocropping pine (MP) and SPA systems were assessed using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and high-throughput sequencing technology.Results and discussionSanqi cultivation triggered a decrease in the abundance of NFB but increased α diversity. …”
