The main problem of cocoa seed storage is moisture content of the seeds because cocoa seeds will germinate if cocoa seeds moisture content is high.The objective of this research is to maintain the cocoa seeds viability in storage using acrylic acid sodium acrylate polymer (AASAP).The function Cypress of AASAP is to absorb humidity in storage due to
Low nitrogen availability inhibits the phosphorus starvation response in maize (Zea mays ssp. mays L.)
Abstract Background Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are macronutrients essential for crop growth and productivity.In cultivated fields, N and P levels are rarely sufficient, contributing to the gap between realized and potential production.Fertilizer application increases nutrient availability, but is not available to all farmers, nor are current r
