Weed coexistence with an agricultural crop can negatively affect its growth, development, and yield. From this perspective, this study aimed to evaluate weed management strategies and their effect on the agronomic parameters of cowpea cultivation in direct (SPD) and conventional (SPC) planting systems. The experiment was set up in a completely randomized block design with a split-plot arrangement with four replications.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed how thermal, nutritional, and pregnancy-related stressors affect the adaptability of two native ewe breeds (Santa Inês and Morada Nova) in a semi-arid setting.
- Both breeds experienced heat stress and were divided into two nutritional groups, with variations in diet and pregnancy type among the ewes.
- Results indicated that Santa Inês ewes exhibited higher respiratory rates and rectal temperatures compared to Morada Nova ewes, but pregnancy type and nutritional levels didn't significantly influence overall physiological responses.
