El conflicto entre la libertad de expresión y el derecho al honor en las redes sociales. Vulneración del derecho al honor de un torero fallecido: el caso de Víctor Barrio Hernanz (STC 93/2021)”
Authors: Vidal Marín Tomás
Published: January 2025

El objeto de este comentario lo constituye la STC 93/2021, de 10 de mayo, en la cual el TC resuelve por vez primera el conflicto entre la libertad de expresión y el derecho al honor en el ámbito de las redes sociales. Para el más alto Tribunal, que las opiniones se expresen a través de una red social no exige un canon específico de enjuiciamiento y, por tanto, resuelve el conflicto a través de la jurisprudencia clásica existente al respecto.

Juan Donoso Cortés (Marqués de Valdegamas)
Authors: Díaz Revorio Francisco Javier
Published: January 2025

El texto presenta una semblanza de Juan Donoso Cortés (1809-1853), destacando su papel como político, jurista y pensador español del siglo XIX. Inicialmente defensor del liberalismo burgués y del constitucionalismo, su pensamiento evolucionó hacia una teología política basada en el providencialismo y la justificación de la dictadura. Sus obras, como las Lecciones de Derecho Político y el Ensayo sobre el catolicismo, el liberalismo y el socialismo, reflejan esta transformación. Aunque sus primeras ideas apoyaban una monarquía liberal, en su última etapa se opuso tanto al liberalismo como al socialismo, abogando por un poder absoluto sancionado por Dios.

El funcionamiento del parlamento vasco en período de excepción: lecciones aprendidas y asignaturas pendientes
Authors: Gordillo Pérez Luis I.
Published: January 2025

Este trabajo analiza algunas de las cuestiones fundamentales que se suscitaron con motivo de la anulación de la primera convocatoria de las elecciones al parlamento vasco que habrían de alumbrar la que ha sido la XII Legislatura (2020-2024). Así, este estudio profundiza en cuatro de los problemas de naturaleza jurídico constitucional que se plantearon con motivo de la anulación de la primera convocatoria electoral para las elecciones al Parlamento Vasco que estaban previstas para el 5 de abril de 2020 y que, al igual que en el caso de Galicia, se acabaron anulando. Además de la cuestión jurídica relativa a la anulación de la convocatoria en sí misma, se profundiza en tres cuestiones que el Parlamento Vasco o, mejor dicho, la Mesa, resolvió en falso: las competencias de la Diputación permanente en este anodino período, la celebración de sesiones telemáticas y la delegación del voto de los parlamentarios (antes y después de la celebración de las elecciones).
Entre la independencia y la reconciliación. El proceso soberanista catalán y la amnistía
Authors: Moreno Martínez Víctor
Published: January 2025

Este estudio tratará de analizar de una manera breve el proceso soberanista catalán desde una perspectiva histórica, analizando los hechos acontecidos desde los inicios del nacionalismo catalán en el siglo XIX, hasta los hechos más recientes de octubre de 2017. Además, este trabajo también abordará de una manera breve la Sentencia del Tribunal Supremo n.º 459/2019, de 14 de octubre (Sala de lo Penal, Sección 1.ª), la cual juzgó las acciones de varios involucrados en el denominado “Procés”. Finalmente, se realizará un análisis sobre la constitucionalidad de la Ley Orgánica 1/2024, de 10 de junio, de Amnistía para la normalización institucional, política y social en Cataluña. Esta ley ha generado un intenso debate en la sociedad española debido a las dudas que suscita la constitucionalidad de la norma. En conjunto, este estudio buscará proporcionar una comprensión contextualizada del proceso soberanista catalán, examinando tanto sus raíces históricas como sus ramificaciones legales y políticas en la actualidad.
Actividad del Consejo Consultivo de Castilla-La Mancha en materia constitucional y estatutaria (2023)
Authors: Guerrero Sanz María Joaquina
Published: January 2025

Como cada año, el presente trabajo se dirige a describir la labor del Consejo Consultivo de Castilla-La Mancha referida al ejercicio de competencias constitucionales y estatutarias atribuidas por el artículo la Ley 11/2003, de 25 de septiembre, que regula dicho órgano y el Gobierno de nuestra comunidad autónoma. Dicha labor, en el año 2023, y de modo singular, se ha visto reducida a la emisión de tan solo dos dictámenes sobre anteproyectos de ley. En uno de ellos el Consejo realizó consideraciones de carácter esencial, referida a la materia que nos ocupa, y que conviene recordar como doctrina más significativa.
El esquema que se sigue se estructura en tres apartados, referidos a la finalidad del anteproyecto, consideraciones fundamentales emitidas por el Consejo y, en su caso, nivel de atención que dichas observaciones hayan tenido en el texto normativo aprobado por las Cortes de Castilla-La Mancha.
La Cuestión de confianza y la disolución del Congreso peruano
Authors: Landa Arroyo César
Published: January 2025

La democracia es el pilar sobre el que descansa el Estado Constitucional de Derecho; el mismo que tiene por finalidad la protección de los derechos fundamentales y el control del poder. El modelo democrático semi-presidencial de gobierno de la Constitución peruana se desarrolla en la fuerte tensión entre el gobierno y la oposición; lo cual explica el uso de la cuestión de confianza y de la disolución del Congreso de la República, como un mecanismo del Poder Ejecutivo para el control y balance de poderes, ante el ejercicio arbitrario y corrupto del Poder Legislativo durante el período 2016-2019.
La proporcionalidad de las medidas de protección para los casos de violencia intrafamiliar en Ecuador
Authors: Cedeño Buste Evelin
Published: January 2025

El derecho constitucional a una vida libre de violencia para las mujeres dentro del ámbito familiar y para todos los demás integrantes del núcleo ampliado que la constituye, implica garantizar mediante tutela jurisdiccional la integridad física, psicológica, moral y material de las víctimas, recurriendo incluso, de manera previa al enjuiciamiento, a medidas de protección destinadas a impedir nuevas agresiones. Persiguiendo con ellas una finalidad legítima, cabe sin embargo establecer la debida proporcionalidad entre el otorgamiento que se haya hecho de las mismas y el correspondiente grado de restricción que se fuere a disponer sobre los derechos del imputado; sobre todo cuando este forma parte de alguna de las categorías de personas a las que se les reconoce por la constitución una atención prioritaria. ¿Cómo debería de obrar el juzgador en estos casos? Este es el motivo de la presente investigación que persigue promover el uso del método argumentativo hermenéutico de la ponderación como solución ante estos casos difíciles.
El control de las asambleas legislativas territoriales sobre los decretos legislativos autonómicos
Authors: Donaire Villa Francisco Javier
Published: January 2025

El presente trabajo aborda las especificidades que ofrece el control parlamentario de los excesos de delegación en los Decretos legislativos autonómicos. Se analizan en él las generalizadas similitudes reinantes en este tema con respecto al modelo estatal, y también las diferencias significativas presentes en los sistemas respectivos de algunas Comunidades Autónomas (Extremadura y Cataluña, principalmente; también los casos de Navarra y Andalucía). Se dedica especial atención a la especialidad del control consistente en la expresa previsión estatutaria (Extremadura) o infraestatutaria (Cataluña) de una preceptiva votación previa del Parlamento autonómico sobre el Decreto legislativo del respectivo Ejecutivo territorial antes de la publicación oficial de dicha norma, y la eventual incidencia de esta votación sobre el régimen de fiscalización jurisdiccional contencioso-administrativa de los excesos ultra vires.

The Union State of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation: integration cooperation in the field of international information security
Authors: Duben Andrei  Kirillovich
Published: January 2025

The author examines in detail such aspects as the international information security of the Union State of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation. It is separately noted that special attention is being paid to issues of legal support for information security today in the light of modern geopolitical processes and their impact on all spheres of life. He draws attention to the fact that one of the tasks of modern society is the search for universal solutions to information security issues. One of the key roles in this issue is played by the Russian Federation, which initiates international conventions on information protection and ensuring international information security.Today, the formation of a common information space and the maintenance of international information security is one of the most important stages in the implementation and achievement of the main objectives of the Union State. These tasks are due to the fact that in the modern information and digital world, the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation are increasing international cooperation in the field of legal information security in regional and bilateral formats.   The methodological basis of this research is a system of modern general scientific and private law methods. The study of the formation, development, place and role of the legal provision of information security of the Union State of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus was conducted using the following general scientific methods: analysis and synthesis, abstraction and modeling, generalization, description, etc. The main conclusions of this study are that the analysis of the basic provisions of interstate regulations allowed us to determine that the common goal in the integration association is to formulate common rules of conduct for states in the information space in order to legally ensure information security in the face of new challenges, threats and risks through international cooperation of the member states of the Union State. At the same time, based on the analysis of international documents and theoretical positions of the science of international and information law, we believe that in the future it is necessary to ensure on an ongoing basis the theoretical, legal, scientific and methodological orientation of the development and implementation of unified approaches to the legislation of the two member states of the Union State regulating the sphere of international information security.
Post-retrieval noradrenergic activation impairs subsequent memory depending on cortico-hippocampal reactivation
Authors: Heinbockel Hendrik , Leicht Gregor , Wagner Anthony D , Schwabe Lars
Published: January 2025

When retrieved, seemingly stable memories can become sensitive to significant events, such as acute stress. The mechanisms underlying these memory dynamics remain poorly understood. Here we show that noradrenergic stimulation after memory retrieval impairs subsequent remembering, depending on hippocampal and cortical signals emerging during retrieval. In a three-day study, we measured brain activity using fMRI during initial encoding, 24h-delayed memory cueing followed by pharmacological elevations of glucocorticoid or noradrenergic activity, and final recall. While post-retrieval glucocorticoids did not affect subsequent memory, the impairing effect of noradrenergic arousal on final recall depended on hippocampal reactivation and category-level reinstatement in ventral temporal cortex during memory cueing. These effects did not require a reactivation of the original memory trace and did not interact with offline reinstatement during rest. Our findings demonstrate that, depending on the retrieval-related neural reactivation of memories, noradrenergic arousal after retrieval can alter the future accessibility of consolidated memories.

Published: January 2025

Bats play key roles in ecosystem functions and provide services to human populations. There is a need to protect bat populations and to mitigate the risks associated with pathogen spillover. Caves are key habitats for many bat species, which use them as roosting and breeding sites. Caves, bats and their guano also attract many other animals along trophic chains which might favor direct or indirect interspecies interactions. Two caves hosting colonies of insectivorous bats have been investigated in the Republic of Congo to characterize habitat sharing and interactions between bats, humans and animals. We set up a camera-trap monitoring protocol during 19 months at the entrance of and inside each cave. Our results demonstrated the richness and complexity of the species interactions around and within these caves. We identified and/or quantified mainly rodents, but also numerous categories of animals such as insects, birds, reptiles and carnivores using the caves. We investigated the temporal variation in the use of caves and the potential interactions between humans, wild animals and bat colonies. Our study contributes to the understanding of the interface and interactions, for the first time quantified, between cave-dwelling animal species, including humans. This knowledge is important to promote the conservation of cave ecosystems and better understand the ecology of infectious diseases.

A Story within a Story within other Stories: On Selecting Biblical Texts amid the Shift to the “Anthropocene”
Authors: Conradie Ernst
Published: January 2025

This contribution is provoked by Maina Talia’s impressive Ph.D. dissertation entitled “Am I not your Tuakoi? A Tuvaluan Plea for Survival in Time of Climate Emergency.” He proposes a reading of the parable of the merciful Samaritan instead of focusing on the Noah story or Job’s lament. How, then, does one select which story to read and how to read that? The Bible is clearly a story of many stories, while cultural contexts are of course also shaped by multiple, often conflicting stories. In this contribution, three intersecting sets of stories are explored, namely the biblical story in a canonical context, cosmological narratives (the universe story with specific reference to the advent of the Anthropocene), and the Christian story of God’s economy from creation to consummation. How, then, do these stories intersect with each other? How can this help us to come to terms with the contemporary shift from the Holocene to the Anthropocene?
Abraham, Wealth and Social Identity in Luke 16.19-31
Authors: van Groeningen David
Published: January 2025

This paper attempts to show Abraham as a social identity marker in Luke 16:19–31 (the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man). The paper will use elements of social identity theory to analyse how Abraham functions as a social identity marker in this parable. After an introduction to elements of Social Identity Theory (SIT) that are relevant to the discussion, the paper will analyse how they relate to the characters in the pericope. Significantly, the paper will examine how a character might be expected to function in relation to Abraham as an exemplar, and will analyse how the characters in the parable have acted with reference to Abraham being an exemplar for the social group “Children of Abraham”. A further theme of wealth disparity is put on display vividly in this parable, so the paper will also deal with how wealth and wealth inequality affect one’s social identity with reference to the group “Children of Abraham”. The paper will end with a summary that ties all these ideas together.

Can Digitally Displayed Product Packaging Evoke Emotions? A Neuromarketing Study
Authors: Hasrini  , Chaerani Metha Listia
Published: January 2025

The appealing design elements on the packaging are the key to capturing consumers' attention toward the product. Many methods can be used to study packaging design features that attract consumer attention and influence purchase behavior. Neuromarketing is a method that has gained attention in the marketing field. This research involves the design of natural skincare product packaging using neuromarketing eye-tracker and EEG techniques, which can capture visual attention and influence consumer purchase intention through emotional variables and visual-haptic perception. In addition, this study will also test different types of design elements, including shape, texture, layout, and eco-label. The research results indicate that texture and eco-label factors significantly differ in participants' visual attention. Heatmap analysis shows general information on the label, including brand, benefits, function, content, product volume, and eco-label, arranged in symmetric and asymmetric layouts, which can attract participants' attention to read or pay attention to the displayed information on the product. The EGG analysis results, represented through beta and gamma waves, show differences in emotional responses when different stimuli are presented. Spearman Rank correlation results show a positive correlation between visual attention to designs with glossy based on EEG indicators. The results of the research model tested using regression techniques indicate a significant influence between packaging features and purchase intention mediated by visual-haptic perception and emotion variables. The result of this research using the combination of neuromarketing and questionnaires shows that packaging features mediated by visual-haptic perception and emotion variables significantly affect purchase intention.
Advancements in Seismic Isolation Technologies for Super High-rise Buildings
Authors: Zhang Qianyi
Published: January 2025

With the progress of modern building technology and the rapid development of social economy, super high-rise buildings have become an important part of urban landscape, and the number and height of construction in the world are rising. Therefore, it is particularly important to ensure the safety of these buildings and their internal facilities, especially the seismic performance in earthquake-prone areas. In this context, seismic isolation technology has been widely used as an effective seismic solution. The traditional seismic design method mainly resists the earthquake by enhancing the strength and stiffness of the structure itself, while the damping or shock insulation reduces the impact of the earthquake on the building by introducing energy-consuming components or isolation layers. In addition, seismic isolation is the hybrid systems of damping and shock insulation, which combines the advantages of both. Compared with a single method, which not only reduces the energy dissipation, but also improves the overall stability of the structure, and provides a more comprehensive and efficient guarantee for the seismic design of super high-rise buildings.
Exploring the Impact of Emotional Congruence in Music on Memory Recall of University Students: An Experimental Study
Authors: Alfafara Princess Grace S. , Caminero Farrah Faye Chrisha D. , Culajara Claire Lynn B.
Published: January 2025

Aims: This study examined the conditions under which music influences memory recall, focusing on the effects of emotionally congruent music, emotionally incongruent music, and the absence of music on memory performance.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at a private university in Digos City. Data collection took place during the latter half of the 2024 academic semester to enhance the accuracy and reliability of the findings, as participants were expected to engage with minimal academic distractions.
Methodology: The research design is a true experimental between-group research design involving random assignment to ensure high internal validity. 45 participants were randomly assigned during the experiment.
Results: This study aimed to determine whether music and emotional congruence significantly affect memory recall. The Kruskal-Wallis test, a non-parametric alternative to one-way ANOVA, was employed to analyze the data. The chi-squared statistic χ² = 3.76, with df = 2, assesses differences in memory recall across three conditions: Emotionally Congruent, Emotionally Incongruent, and No Music. The effect size was calculated as ε = 0.0854, indicating that approximately 8.54% of the variance in memory recall was attributed to the emotional congruence of the music. However, the small effect size suggests these differences have limited practical significance. Additionally, with a p-value of 0.153 (p > 0.05), the results demonstrate no statistically significant effect of music and emotional congruence on memory recall.
Conclusion: This study has several limitations that may affect the significance of its findings, such as participants' emotional states, past experiences, and environmental factors like lighting, temperature, or noise. To address these issues, future research should consider using a standardized setting, ensuring consistent participant preparation, and including more similar characteristics between groups to enhance internal validity. The study will be replicated with stricter controls to validate further and improve the findings, and external variables will be examined more closely. Additionally, while the experimental design provides valuable insights, its conclusions may be less generalizable. Future studies could adopt correlational designs to expand and complement these findings.

Published: January 2025

Exchange rate fluctuations have long been a central topic in Nigerian economic discussions, particularly due to the country's heavy reliance on imports and oil exports. As a developing nation, Nigeria is especially susceptible to external shocks. Thus, this study forecasts the exchange rate fluctuations between the US Dollar and the Nigerian Naira, utilizing monthly data from January 2009 to May 2024 and sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) website. The data were analyzed using the ARIMA process and KPSS methods for testing the stationarity of the series, with 185 data points. The ARIMA (4, 2, 2) model was selected based on the AIC and BIC values as the best-fitted model. The results indicated a rise in the exchange rate, from the value of 1509.352 Naira in June 2024 to between 2370.834 Naira by January, 2025 and 3755.827 Naira in January of 2026. Considering the decline in the forecast of Naira's value against the Dollar, it is recommended that policymakers should consider these components when designing monetary policies aimed at stabilizing the foreign exchange market and the overall economy.

Aims: Many strategies have been put in place to stop diabetes and its related complications: the use of plants has proved to be less costly and with few side-effects. Among these plants Vernonia amygdalina and Tamarindus indica are used because of their richness in bioactive compounds, notably phenols and dietary fiber. The aim of this work was first to evaluate the effect of combining aqueous extracts of Vernonia amygdalina leaves and Tamarindus indica pulp on two energy metabolism enzymes (alphaamylase and pancreatic lipase), and secondly to assess the effect of combining these extracts on the hematological profile of streptozotocin-induced diabetic wistar rats.
Methodology: Vernonia amygdalina leaves and Tamarindus indica pulp was subject to aqueous extraction, the two extracts obtained were mixed in vitro in the presence of the two enzymes and their inhibitory power evaluated; streptozotocin was used to induce diabetes in Wistar rats which were then treated with our extracts and the combination of these; their blood was collected and hematological analysis carried out.
Results: Our findings revealed that at 100 mg/l, the mixture showed a 23.56±4.6% inhibition of alphaamylase. The percentage inhibition of pancreatic lipase varied depending on the extract concentration from 8.81±1.90 at 62.5µg/ml to 31.95±1.90 at 1000µg/ml, and the mixture also improved hematological parameters in diabetic rats.
Conclusions: combining these two extracts makes it possible to increase the inhibitory power with respect to these enzymes and improves the hematological profile, this could therefore be beneficial for the non drug management of diabetes.

The Study evaluates the performance of supervised and unsupervised classification techniques for crop identification using Sentinel-2 imagery. Four supervised classifiers—Random Forest (RF), Minimum Distance (MD), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Smile Cart (sCART)—were assessed, with RF achieving the highest overall average accuracy (91%) and kappa value (87%) across two cropping seasons. The unsupervised classification method, utilizing the Isoclustering algorithm, recorded an average accuracy and kappa value of 84% in the first season and 80% in the second season. Acreage estimation revealed RF to be the most reliable, estimating 69,000 hectares (2019-20) and 64,000 hectares (2020-21), closely aligning with district statistical yield data. In contrast, sCART and SVM classifiers demonstrated lower accuracies of 46% and 36%, respectively. The study underscores RF's superiority in crop identification and acreage estimation, offering valuable insights for agricultural planning and management.

The present investigation was carried out to study the performance of crossandra genotypes for morphological, flowering, yield, quality and screening for nematode resistance at the Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during the year 2018-2019. Ten genotypes were investigated for ten    quantitative characters viz., Plant height (cm), Plant spread both E-W& N-S (cm), No. of primary branches, Number of leaves, 100 flower weight (g), Number of flowers per spike, Number of spikes per plant, Rachis length and Yield per plant (g). The presence and magnitude of genetic variability is prerequisite for any breeding program. It will be useful for quantifying the genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance of genotypes to identify for high yielding characters. Phenotypic coefficient of variation was higher than the genotypic coefficient of variation for all the parameters recorded which shows greater influence over environment in plants. High GCV and PCV were recorded for plant height, number of leaves, rachis length, number of spikes per plant and yield per plant. High heritability with high genetic advance was noted in plant height, number of leaves, primary branches, number of spikes per plant, number of flowers per spike, 100 flower weight, rachis length and yield per plant. High heritability with high genetic advance is an important character for selection and these are traits controlled by additive gene action. From the correlation studies, yield per plant was positively correlated with number of primary branches, number of spikes per plant and rachis length. Further,positive and significant correlation was also recorded in rachis length, plant spread, number of spikes per plant and number of flowers per spike. Hence, simultaneous selection for the above traits would be more rewarding to bring improvement in crossandra.

The Solanaceae family, comprising tomato, pepper, chili, and eggplant, plays a pivotal role in agriculture in Burkina Faso. However, these crops face significant biotic challenges, notably from fungi of the Fusarium genus, which are responsible for severe diseases and yield losses that can reach up to 80%. Beyond their devastating effects on both the quantity and quality of harvests, these pathogens also produce mycotoxins that compromise food safety. This study aims to enhance the production of Solanaceous crops by characterizing the Fusarium fungal agents associated with their seeds in Burkina Faso. A sanitary analysis of 400 seeds per seed type (both disinfected and non-disinfected) identified 11 fungal genera, including Fusarium, Colletotrichum, Curvularia, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Didymella, Epicoccum, Melanospora, Spirodactylon, Rhizopus, and Stachybotrys, with varying proportions depending on the genus. Among these, Fusarium spp. predominated, even after disinfection, though fungal diversity and contamination rates were lower. Microscopic and molecular analyses revealed several Fusarium species, including F. solani, F. proliferatum, F. incarnatum, and F. equiseti. Pathogenicity tests showed a high incidence of Fusarium wilt on seedlings, with variability based on the isolates and crops. Specifically, isolates T2F, P3F, and Pi1F exhibited particularly aggressive behavior on tomato, pepper, and chili, respectively. These findings underscore the urgent need for effective seed management to limit the spread of these pathogens and safeguard agricultural productivity in Burkina Faso.

Aims: The field experiment was conducted to find out the effect of fertilizer levels and bio-stimulants on growth, yield and economics of mustard (Brassica juncea L.).
Study Design: This experiment was laid out in strip plot design comprising three fertilizer levels in horizontal strips and five bio-stimulants in vertical strips replicated thrice.
Place and Duration of Study: The field trial was carried out at the Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Dr. B.S.K.K.V., Dapoli, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, India during Rabi 2023-24.
Methodology: The treatments consist of three horizontal strips of fertilizer levels viz., 80% RDF (F1), 100% RDF (F2), 120% RDF (F3) and five vertical strips of bio-stimulants viz., 0.5% humic acid (B1), 0.5% chitosan (B2), 3% vermiwash (B3), 1% Konkan kalp (B4), 0.1% triacontanol (B5). The seeds of mustard var. Varuna were sown at the spacing of 30 cm × 10 cm. The recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) used for the crop was 90:45:00 NPK kg ha-1. Foliar application of bio-stimulants were carried out at 20, 40 and 60 days after sowing (DAS).
Results: Among the fertilizer levels, application of 120% RDF (F3) recorded significantly higher growth, yield attributes and yield of mustard as well as it shows higher net returns (Rs. 25739 ha-1) and benefit: cost ratio (1.41). The seed and stover yield of mustard was increased by 12.95% and 8.30% respectively, with the application of 120% RDF as compared to the application of 80% RDF (F1) which recorded significantly minimum seed and stover yield in mustard. The growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of mustard were found significantly higher with the foliar application of 0.5% humic acid (B1) and it remained at par with the treatment foliar sprays 0.5% chitosan (B2). The net returns (Rs. 26760 ha-1) and benefit: cost ratio (1.43) was also found higher with the treatment of 0.5% humic acid (B1). With respect to bio-stimulants, foliar sprays of 0.5% humic acid (B1) showed 17.38% and 13.90% increase in seed and stover yield, respectively over foliar application of 0.1% triacontanol (B5) which recorded lowest yield in mustard. Combined application of 120% RDF and foliar sprays of 0.5% humic acid (F3B1) recorded significantly higher seed and stover yield of mustard and it remained at par with the treatment combination of 120% RDF and foliar sprays of 0.5% chitosan (F3B2).
Conclusion: Application of 120% RDF along with foliar application 0.5% humic acid or 0.5% chitosan might improve the yield and economic returns in mustard.
