Numerous studies indicate biochar's nitrogen (N) adsorption capacity plays a crucial role in soil N retention. However, there is limited understanding on inorganic N adsorption mechanisms in biochar derived from aquatic weeds such as water hyacinth (WH). This study investigated ammonium-N (NH-N) and nitrate-N (NO-N) adsorption capacities and mechanisms of WH biochar pyrolyzed at different pyrolysis temperatures of 400 °C, 600 °C, and 800 °C (BC400, BC600, and BC800, respectively).

The recent global population explosion has increased people's food demand. To meet this demand, huge amounts of nitrogen (N) fertilizer have been applied in the worldwide. However, ammonia (NH) volatilization is one of the primary factors of N loss from soil after N application causing decrease crop N utilization efficiency and productivity.

Bread wheat is a vital staple crop worldwide; including in Ethiopia, but its production is prone to various environmental constraints and yield reduction associated with adaptation. To identify adaptable genotypes, a total of 12 bread wheat genotypes (G1 to G12) were evaluated for their genotype-environment interaction (GEI) and stability across three different environments for two years using Additive Main Effect and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) and genotype main effect plus genotype-by-environment interaction (GGE) biplots analysis. GEI is a common phenomenon in crop improvement and is of significant importance in genotype assessment and recommendation.

Background: Traumatic injuries represent a huge burden in the developing world, and a significant proportion has found in low-income and middle-income countries. However, the pattern, outcome and factors of injury varies from setup to setup and is less studied in public health problems.

Objective: To assess pattern of admission, outcome and its predictors among trauma patients visiting the surgical emergency department in a comprehensive specialized hospital.
