Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate root exudates from sub-Saharan indigenous weed species to induce germination of Strigahermonthica(Del.) Beth., a root parasitic weed.Significant variation in Striga seed germination was observed, ranging from an absence to the induction of 74.1% Striga seeds. Direct comparison of Striga germination was obscured by differences in weed root biomass as within most of the species, a direct proportional relation between Striga seed germination and weed root dry weight was observed. Expression of Striga seed germination in % g-1root dry weight (GIC) was found a suitable solution, as stable values for GIC were obtained, despite considerable variation in root dry weight. GIC was significant for 25 species and highest with Commelinaforskalaeiand Sesamumalatum(9.91; 9.78 % g-1 dry root, respectively). Striga seeds did not germinate following application of exudates from Mitracarpusscaberand Phyllanthuspentrandus. These results show that a substantial number of indigenous weed species may serve as alternative trap crops to control the parasites seed bank. Furthermore, the timing of weeds in the cropping system may provide a (partial) explanation for the erratic infestation levels found across fields and years that has dazedresearchers for many years.

Abstract

Tobacco stems contain 56.10% cellulose content, 15.11% lignin, 22.44% hemicellulose, and 44.61% total organic carbon, which can be used as a source of energy or fuel. This study aimed to utilize tobacco stems in a briquette form as alternative energy. The materials used in this study were tobacco stem waste, rice husk, wood charcoal, and coconut shell. The treatments used in this study consisted of T1 (100% of tobacco stems), T2 (80% of tobacco stem + 20% of coconut shell), T3 (80% of tobacco stem + 20% rice husk), and T4 (33.33% of tobacco stems + 33.33% of rice husk + 33.33% coconut shell). The fastest combustion rate was found at T3, 0.12 gram/sec, while T1 and T2 had the same combustion rate. T4, a mixture of various materials, had no significant difference compared to T1, T2, and T3. The highest calorific value of tobacco stem briquettes was in T4 (4127 Kcal/kg), and the lowest was in T1 (2343 Kcal/kg). The combustion rate of these tobacco stem briquettes was longer than that of charcoal briquettes, whose average burning rate is 0.234 grams/second. Overall, this study provides an overview of the best combination to create briquettes from agricultural waste.
