Recent declines in insect pollinators and the increasing dependence on insect pollination in agriculture present major challenges to ensuring future food production. As part of the effort to deal with this challenge, there is a pressing need to understand growers’ perceptions with regard to pollinator diversity and crop pollination management. At p...
Succinic acid is a spectacular chemical that can be used as the precursor of various industrial products including pharmaceuticals and biochemicals. The improvement of the succinic acid market depends on strains engineering that is capable of producing succinic acid at high yield and excellent growth rate which could utilize the wide range of carbo...

Fermentable sugars are a group of key intermediate compounds and pretreatment is the most crucial step for the saccharification of lignocellulose. In this manuscript, microwave-assisted glycerol pretreatment was performed before fast pyrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis to obtain fermentable sugars from corncobs. Owing to demineralization, delignific...

The major springs in the Infranz catchment are a significant source of water for Bahir Dar City and nearby villages, while sustaining the Infranz River and the downstream wetlands. The aim of the research was to understand the hydrogeological conditions of these high-discharge springs and the recharge&ndash / discharge relations in the Infranz catc...

Sheath rot is an emerging rice disease that leads to considerable yield losses. The main causal agent is the fungus Sarocladium oryzae. This pathogen is known to produce the toxins cerulenin and helvolic acid, but their role in pathogenicity has not been clearly established. S. oryzea isolates from different rice-producing regions can be grouped in...

The effect of additives on the silage quality, microbial community, and anaerobic digestion performance of Pennisetum purpureum with high moisture content was studied. The sample treated with a mixed additive had best silage quality with the lowest pH and highest lactic acid/acetic acid ratio. Different additives influenced the dominant desirable b...
