Abstract The co-occurrence of drought and heat significantly hampers plant productivity. Although their impacts are well studied, these studies have been based on the effects of individual stressors rather than their combined influence. Okra is cruci

The development of cassava genotypes with root system traits that increase soil resource acquisition could increase yields on infertile soils but there are relatively few work that has quantified cassava root system architecture (RSA). We used an eas

Oil palm plantations worldwide generate vast amounts of empty fruit bunches (EFB), often disposed of as waste and left to undergo natural decomposition or incinerated, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. However, EFB could be used as soil condi
