Abstract

The income stability and agricultural productivity of small and marginal farmers in developing countries are affected by pest infestations. Severe crop losses in India are due to increased pesticide use, limited pest-detection technologies, and restricted access to real-time advisory services. Emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Large Language Models (LLMs) offer significant opportunities to develop adaptive, farmer-centric pest management systems. This study is based on a two-component mixed method approach: (1) A large scale field study of 1000 farmers in five villages in Pendurthi Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, Andhra Pradesh, India, to assess the practice of pest control, the economic burden of pests, technology awareness and readiness for adoption of technology; and (2) A simultaneous large scale field test of a low cost AI-IoT device that includes an ESP32-CAM controller, a YOLOv8 deep learning algorithm, and a vernacular Telugu language LLM advisory engine - a new development in vernacular LLM integration tested in the field at a large scale. The survey results revealed 84% pest infestation, heavy reliance on chemical pesticides (66%), growing smartphone penetration (63%), and strong willingness to adopt (76%) when supported by government subsidies and localized AI interfaces. The field testing results verified 94% system uptime and high confidence levels of 0.87-0.94 for pest detection across four major rice pest species. This study combines findings from a survey with a concurrent field trial, confirming the efficacy of affordable pest detection and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

Abstract

This study addresses a critical gap in understanding the multidimensional sustainability of tropical maize farming by simultaneously evaluating economic, ecological, socio-cultural, institutional, technological, and infrastructural dimensions using a Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) approach. Focusing on West Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, data were collected from 150 farmers and 30 farmer group leaders, complemented by secondary sources. The study aims to assess sustainability status, identify sensitive attributes influencing outcomes, and provide evidence-based guidance for interventions. Results show an overall sustainability index of 52.59%, indicating a “moderately sustainable” system, with economic (73.81%), socio-cultural (72.01%), and ecological (55.07%) dimensions performing better than institutional (42.24%), infrastructure (40.28%), and technological (32.15%) dimensions. Leverage analysis identifies 18 key attributes critical to sustainability, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to strengthen institutional frameworks, improve infrastructure, and accelerate technology adoption. Beyond policy generalization, the findings offer practical insights for stakeholders, including development agencies and farmer organizations, to design context-specific, inclusive, and operational strategies that enhance the long-term sustainability of maize farming in tropical regions.

Abstract

This study analyzes income differentials between independent oil palm smallholders certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and non-certified farmers in Maro Sebo Ilir District, Batanghari Regency, Indonesia. Although certification is promoted as a mechanism to enhance smallholder welfare, empirical evidence remains inconclusive, and few studies examine net income differences disaggregated by plant age under uniform price conditions. Primary data were collected from September 2022 to August 2023 from 60 farmers (30 RSPO-certified and 30 non-certified), categorized into two plant age groups: 11–18 years and 19–26 years. Farm income was calculated as total revenue minus total cost and analyzed using independent-samples t-tests. The results indicate that RSPO-certified farmers achieved higher productivity and income despite incurring higher input costs. Average annual incomes among certified farmers reached IDR 25,600,675 and IDR 25,785,872 per hectare for the 11–18 and 19–26-year groups, respectively, compared with IDR 20,144,977 and IDR 20,766,920 among non-certified farmers. Income differences of approximately 27.1% and 24.2% were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The findings suggest that income gains are primarily associated with improved technical efficiency, intensified input use, and institutional support rather than price premiums, and remain contingent upon local market and institutional conditions.

Abstract

Climate change poses a significant threat to agricultural productivity and food security in Nigeria. This study assessed the utilization of Climate Smart Agricultural (CSA) practices by describing the socio-economic characteristics of rural farmers, identifying their sources of information on CSA, documenting CSA practices currently adopted, and examining the constraints hindering widespread utilization. The key findings are that the majority of respondents were male (59.6%) and youths aged 20–35 years (59.6%), with most being married (59.6%) and having small households (79.8%). Although many earned a modest income (₦150,000–₦250,000 annually). A majority lacked access to credit (82.6%), which is a major limitation to CSA investment. CSA information access shows that Radio/TV (60.6%) was the main information source, and only 21.1% received CSA information from extension agents. CSA adoption and duration indicated that conservation agriculture was the most adopted practice (68.8%), and the majority (62.3%) had adopted CSA practices within the last two years, indicating relatively recent exposure while motivations for CSA adoption were improved yield (58.7%), followed by reduced cost (27.5%) and improved soil fertility (13.8%). The challenges to CSA adoption were a lack of technical knowledge (55.1%) and limited access to credit (27.5%) as dominant constraints. However, education (p=0.045, r=0.654) and sex (p=0.036, r=0.560) were significantly related to adoption of CSA practices. Similarly, social media (p=0.007, r=0.429) had a strong, positive relationship with utilization of CSA practices, while Radio/TV (p=0.062, r=0.401), though not too significant, but the positive value, indicates their importance. Therefore, CSA practices and interventions should be holistic to transform agricultural development.

Abstract

This study evaluated seven promising super-hot chili genotypes (F1.383388, F1.382383, F1.383385, F5.382383-5-12-3, F4.382385-5-2, F4.382385-4-1, F6.382384-4-1-8-1) compared with four commercial varieties (Carolina Reaper, Katokkon, Red Bhut Jolokia, Mhanu) to identify candidates for developing high-yielding and high-quality superior varieties. A randomized block design with three replications was used at Bedugul, Bali (1200 m asl) from November 2024 to January 2026. Observations included qualitative and quantitative yield and quality traits. Results showed that genotype significantly affected all variables. Genotype F5.382383-5-12-3 exhibited the highest fruit weight per plant (1,268.00 g plant⁻¹) and number of fruits per plant (151.11 fruit plant⁻¹) with early harvest (112.00 dap), making it the best for productivity. Genotype F1.383385 showed superior quality traits, including the highest fruit length (7.07 cm), diameter (33.96 mm), placenta length (6.50 cm), and weight per fruit (13.84 g). Both genotypes are recommended for further multi-location trials as candidates for superior variety release. Correlation analysis revealed positive associations between fruit weight per plant and several fruit quality traits, indicating that higher-yielding genotypes also exhibited superior fruit quality. These findings provide a basis for selecting promising Capsicum chinense genotypes in breeding programs.

Abstract

Post-harvest dormancy in shallot (Allium cepa L. var. aggregatum) seed bulbs delays sprouting and disrupts planting schedules. While gibberellic acid (GA₃), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), and vernalization each break dormancy, their combined effects have not been evaluated. The study, conducted in October 2025 at the Hasanuddin University Teaching Farm in Indonesia, is the first to evaluate the factorial effects of GA₃ or H₂O₂ combined with vernalization on dormancy breaking. Lokana shallot bulbs underwent vernalization for 14 days at room temperature, 5°C, or 10°C, followed by treatment with either no agent, GA₃ (100 mg L⁻¹, 6 h), or H₂O₂ (20%, 2 h), using a 3 × 3 randomized complete block design (27 plots, 1.215 plants). Data analysed using ANOVA followed by HSD at the 5% level and Pearson’s correlation. Significant interactions (p < 0.05) between dormancy-breaking agents and vernalization were observed for most germination rate and sprouting time parameters. The combination of H₂O₂ treatment with 5°C vernalization produced the fastest sprouting, achieving the highest sprouting rate index (SSI = 6.91) and rate coefficient (CVG = 12.78), the shortest mean sprouting time (MSpT = 7.86 days), and the lowest time to 50% sprouting (T50 = 7.06 days), outperforming both the control (SSI = 2.82; MSpT = 16.90 days; T50 = 16.86 days) and GA₃ treatments. Sprouting synchrony and uniformity remained unaffected. The combined application of H₂O₂ and short-duration cold vernalization represents a practical and cost-effective approach to reducing dormancy and expediting planting readiness in shallot seed production.

Abstract

The adoption of sustainable agriculture practices is essential for enhancing the environmental sustainability and long-term productivity of smallholder coffee farming systems. While previous studies have mainly focused on technical and institutional factors, the role of farmers' entrepreneurial orientation has received relatively little attention. This study examines how different dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation influence the adoption of sustainable agriculture practices among smallholder coffee farmers in Aceh Tengah, Indonesia. Data were collected from 156 coffee-farming households using a multi-stage random sampling approach. Sustainable agriculture adoption was measured as the total number of practices adopted, and the relationship was estimated using a Poisson regression model, with an ordered probit model employed as a robustness check. The results show that innovativeness (β = 0.275, *p* < 0.05) and proactiveness (β = 0.271, *p* < 0.05) are positively associated with the adoption of sustainable agriculture practices, whereas competitive aggressiveness (β = −0.205, *p* < 0.01) has a negative effect. In contrast, risk-taking and autonomy are not statistically significant. The robustness analysis using the ordered probit model produces consistent results, confirming the reliability of the main findings. These results suggest that encouraging farmers to be more innovative and proactive may be just as important as providing technical support. At the same time, stronger market incentives are needed to align competitiveness with sustainability goals better. The study also contributes to the entrepreneurial orientation literature by showing that its individual dimensions influence sustainable agriculture adoption in different ways, rather than having a uniform effect.

Abstract

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) is a soil-borne fungal pathogen responsible for fusarium wilt, which constitutes one of the major constraints in banana cultivation. Information on the occurrence and molecular characteristics of Foc in Malang Regency, one of the banana-producing areas in East Java, Indonesia, remains limited, hindering effective disease surveillance and management. This study was conducted to isolate and characterize fungal isolates associated with fusarium wilt disease in banana plants using an integrated approach combining morphological characterization, pathogenicity testing, PCR amplification, ITS sequence analysis, and phylogenetic analysis. Three fungal isolates were recovered from symptomatic banana plants collected in Donomulyo, Malang Regency, and one representative isolate (DNM) was selected for molecular characterization based on its morphological similarity to the other isolates. Morphological observations revealed characteristics typical of Fusarium oxysporum. ITS sequence analysis showed 100% query coverage and 100% sequence identity with reference Foc sequences available in GenBank, while phylogenetic analysis clustered the DNM isolate with reference Foc isolates with 94% bootstrap support. Pathogenicity assays demonstrated that the isolate induced typical fusarium wilt symptoms, resulting in an LDI of 16.39% at 14 DAI and an RDI of 41.67% at 45 DAI. These findings provide baseline information on putative Foc isolates in Malang Regency, particularly in the Donomulyo area, and establish an integrated characterization framework to support disease surveillance, early detection, and the development of integrated management strategies for fusarium wilt in banana production systems.

Abstract

Despite growing evidence on climate adaptation and agricultural efficiency, limited research has integrated adaptive capacity, technical efficiency, and structural inequality within a single analytical framework in climate-vulnerable regions of India. This study addresses this gap using a cross-sectional survey of 384 farm households selected through a multi-stage stratified sampling design across four agro-ecological zones of Rajasthan. Technical efficiency was estimated using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), its determinants were analysed using a Tobit regression model, and inequality was assessed using the Gini coefficient. The mean technical efficiency score was 0.64, indicating substantial scope for improving resource use. The Adaptation Index significantly increased technical efficiency (β = 0.041, p < 0.001), with each additional adaptation strategy raising efficiency by 3.2 percentage points. Irrigation access and wealth also exerted significant positive effects. However, efficiency gains remained uneven, with greater inequality among rain-fed (Gini = 0.367) and small farms (0.351) than irrigated (0.248) and large farms (0.221). The findings highlight the need for policies that strengthen adaptive capacity while reducing structural inequalities in access to resources.

Abstract

Growing interest in plant-based fermented foods has encouraged the development and evaluation of non-dairy yoghurt formulations. This study evaluated the effects of formulation and refrigerated storage time on the nutritional, physicochemical, and microbiological characteristics of soy yoghurt containing fresh Moringa oleifera leaf aqueous extract. Four formulations containing different combinations of moringa, garlic, and lime extracts were prepared in three independent production batches. Samples were stored at 4 ± 1 °C and analyzed on Days 7 and 14 for proximate composition, calculated energy value, pH, titratable acidity, aerobic plate count (APC), and lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Two-way analysis of variance showed significant formulation, storage time, and/or interaction effects on most measured variables, while titratable acidity was primarily affected by storage time. Formula B had the highest crude protein, fat, and calculated energy values at both sampling times, whereas Formula C had the highest carbohydrate content. Formula D showed the lowest APC on Day 7 and the highest LAB population at both sampling times, reaching 6.79 log₁₀ CFU/mL on Day 14. LAB populations remained above 6 log₁₀ CFU/mL in all formulations at both sampling times. These findings indicate that formulation composition influenced the measured characteristics of soy yoghurt between Days 7 and 14, although the independent contribution of fresh Moringa oleifera leaf aqueous extract could not be separated from those of garlic and lime.
