This study evaluated the effects of different rates of diammonium phosphate fertilizer on the growth, yield, and yield components of common bean under field conditions at the Faculty of Agriculture Research Farm, Kabul University, during the 2025 growing season. The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replications and four fertilizer […]
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) is a fundamental biological process that enhances legume productivity while reducing dependence on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. However, its efficiency varies considerably across production systems because it is regulated by complex interactions among plant genetics, rhizobial compatibility, physiological processes, environmental conditions, and agronomic management. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the mechanisms […]
Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) is a short‑duration legume of high nutritional and agronomic importance, particularly suited to semi‑arid regions such as Kabul, Afghanistan. Despite its potential, mung bean productivity in Afghanistan remains below global averages, constrained by poor soil fertility, limited varietal development, and inadequate crop management practices. This review synthesizes Kabul University research […]
Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an important oilseed and fiber crop with significant economic value. Efficient irrigation management is essential for improving crop productivity under the semi-arid conditions of Kabul, where water resources are limited. However, information on the optimum irrigation interval for flax production in this region is scarce. This field experiment was conducted […]
Soybean (Glycine max L.) is a globally important crop valued for its high protein and oil content, yet its productivity in Afghanistan remains constrained by poor soil fertility and reliance on chemical fertilizers. This review article synthesizes experimental evidence on the comparative effects of organic inputs (night soil, farm manure) and inorganic fertilizers (diammonium phosphate, […]
This study aimed was to determine the effect kusambi (Schleichera oleosa) wood liquid smoke on the physicochemical quality of Lamb se’i (smoked meat). A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a 4 x 4 layout was employed, consisting of four treatments: P0: control/no liquid smoke, P1: 0.5% liquid smoke, P2: 1.0% liquid smoke, and P3 : […]
The long-term sustainability of nuclear energy relies on the safe management of minor actinides (MAs) and long-lived fission products (LLFPs). The present work aims at systematically evaluating the role of the fast neutron spectrum in the nuclear transmutation of these isotopes in the Lead-cooled Fast Reactors (LFRs) to support the realization of a closed fuel […]
Accountability has become a central condition of university autonomy, yet it is often measured through its most visible component: publicly available information. This critical narrative review examines how accountability has been conceptualised and measured in higher education and considers the implications for Vietnam during the transition from Circular 36/2017/TT-BGDDT to Circular 09/2024/TT-BGDDT. The review synthesises […]
Soybean is an important legume crop valued for its high protein and oil content, but its productivity is often limited by poor soil fertility and environmental stresses. This study aimed to determine the optimum potassium application rate for improving soybean growth and yield under the agroecological conditions of Kabul, Afghanistan. A field experiment was conducted […]
Administering the same examination to students from different programs can result in uneven measurement of competence and potentially flawed academic decisions. In many vocational settings, psychometric reviews of examination instruments are uncommon, increasing the risk of inaccurate evaluation. This study investigates the Applied Mathematics Final Semester Examination (FSE) instruments in the Mechanical Engineering Department, Bali […]
