Abstract

Sorghum is the most important cereal crop in Sub-Saharan Africa including Ethiopia. The productivity and production of the crop are not increased as expected due to many limitations in the generation of demand-driven technologies and innovation upscaling in integrated and impact-oriented approaches to sorghum production. The study was focused on sorghum production systems and factors affecting sorghum production for sorghum producers. For this study both purposive and random sampling techniques were applied to select 123 households. OLS regression was used to analyze factors affecting sorghum productivities. In the study areas, the majority of the farmers used the local sorghum variety. Only 17.89% of sample households used improved sorghum varieties including lalo, chemeda, and gemedi varieties. The technology attributes improved sorghum varieties were better performance than the local variety. The regression model revealed that variables including sex, age, education, improved variety, soil slope and fertility, TLU, and extension services affected sorghum productivity positively and significantly at 10%, 5%, and 1% significance levels. Respective experts (BoANR, research centers, NGOs, and Universities) should be advised and support sorghum producers to enhance sorghum productivity.

Abstract

The seeds of Guibourtia coleosperma serve as potential source of nutritious food for rural communities in northern Botswana though underutilized. The objective of this study was to determine the proximate and mineral composition of G. coleosperma seeds collected from northern Botswana. Seed samples were collected from Shakawe and Kasane areas in northern Botswana. The proximate composition and mineral contents of the seed were determined following standard procedures. The data were analyzed using T-test. Seeds collected from Shakawe had average moisture (%), crude fat (%), crude fiber (%), crude protein (%), ash (%), total carbohydrate (%) and energy (kcal/100g) contents of 8.48 ± 0.29, 9.24 ± 0.31, 4.72 ± 0.60, 15.34 ± 0.48, 2.40 ± 0.02, 59.81 ± 1.00 and 383.80 ± 4.81, respectively. The corresponding values for seeds collected from Kasane were 9.00 ± 0.10, 10.17 ± 0.37, 7.13 ± 0.21, 16.44 ± 0.43, 2.45 ± 0.02, 54.80 ± 0.58 and 376.50 ± 2.22, respectively. Seeds collected from Kasane had significantly higher (p< 0.05) crude fat, crude fiber, crude protein and ash contents than seeds collected from Shakawe. However, the total carbohydrates content of seeds collected from Shakawe was significantly higher (p< 0.05) than those collected from Kasane. No significant differences (p> 0.05) were observed for moisture and energy contents between the seed samples collected from the two locations. The predominate proximate component in the seeds was total carbohydrate followed by crude protein and, therefore, the seeds can serve as good sources of energy and protein. The average zinc, iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium (mg/100 g) and phosphorus (mg/g) contents of seeds collected from Shakawe were 2.96 ± 0.53, 2.40 ± 0.27, 116.80 ± 2.82, 468.69 ± 19.28, 316.70 ± 21.15, 1.21 ± 0.67 and 1.35 ± 0.04, respectively. The corresponding values for False Mopane seeds collected from Kasane were 2.53 ± 0.31, 3.34 ± 0.18, 173.65 ± 5.83, 460.86 ± 10.53, 367.59 ± 15.37, 3.51 ± 0.44 and 1.45 ± 0.12, respectively. The values for iron, magnesium, calcium and sodium were significantly higher (p< 0.05) for seeds collected from Kasane than those collected from Shakawe. However, no significant differences (p> 0.05) were observed between the seed samples collected from the two locations for zinc, potassium and phosphorus. Quantitatively, the predominant mineral observed in seed was potassium followed by calcium. The seeds could serve as good source of magnesium, iron, zinc, calcium and potassium since they contribute higher proportions of the recommended daily intake of these minerals. The results showed that location has a significant effect both on the proximate composition and mineral contents of False Mopane seeds.

Abstract

Farmer in different parts of Ethiopia uses a similar type of fertilizer and amounts that are below the crop requirements, even the low soil fertility which limits crop production in general. To solve the over-blanket fertilizer application over different agroecology Ethiopian Soil Information System (EthioSIS) mapped the soil fertility and recommended types of fertilizer for a specific location. A NPSB type of fertilizer where recommended for Beko village, but the rate of this fertilizer type was not studied so far. So, this field experiment was conducted to determine the rate of NPSB fertilizer type and nutrient use efficiency of maize during the 2018 cropping season. A total of eight treatments with four replications were laid out in a factorial randomized complete block design. Treatments were control (zero fertilizer), previously blanket recommended nitrogen and phosphorus (92 N+ 69 P2O5) kg/ha, 150 NPSB +100 urea +100 K2O kg/ha, 200 NPSB +100 urea + 100 K2O kg/ha, 250 NPSB +100 urea +100 K2O kg/ha, 150 NPSB +150 urea +100 K2O kg/ha, 200 NPSB +150 urea +100 K2O kg/ha and 250 NPSB +150 urea +100 K2O kg/ha. Data were statistically analyzed by statistical analysis system (SAS) and mean treatment differences were compared by least significant differences (LSD). An analysis of variance indicated that application of NPSB fertilizer was not influenced plant height, ear height, ear length, cob length, number of ears per plant, thousand seed weight, harvest index, and shelling percentage as compared to the previously blanket recommended Nitrogen and Phosphorus (NP) fertilizer but grain and above-ground dry biomass were influenced except the application of 150 NPSB +100 urea. Application of 250 NPSB + 100 urea gave the highest maize grain yield (8828.2 kg/ha). Application of NPSB fertilizer improved the nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency of maize compared to the previously blanket recommended NP. The highest N use efficiency (64.75 kg/ha) was obtained from the application of 200 NPSB +100 urea, while the lowest N use efficiency (23.89 kg/ha) was from the previously blanket recommended NP fertilizer. As economic analysis indicated that the application of 150 NPSB +100 urea is recommended for the study area.

Abstract

Spoilage of sweet potato could be enormous when inadequate methods of storage are used. This research investigated impact of methods of storage on spoilage of sweet potato in three major markets of Plateau State Nigeria.  Data for the study were obtained from sellers  of sweet potato in Yan Doya market, New market and Farin Gada market of Plateau State through administration of questionnaires. Analysis of the data was carried out using descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC), F-test statistics, t-test and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) with backward elimination procedure.  Results from descriptive statistics showed that majority of sweet potato sellers adopted use of sack for storage of their goods. The second method commonly used for storage of sweet potato in the study area was found to be root cellar method. Pair-wise application of PPMC indicated that spoilage of sweet potato was positively correlated with adopted methods of storage which suggested existence of relationship among the variables. Analysis using F-test statistics indicated that the relationship did not occur by chance between the variables hence t-test aided determination of which independent variables mainly influenced the dependent variable of the study. From the use of MLR with backward elimination procedure, spoilages from sacks and root cellars methods were the independent variables which mainly influenced the total spoilage of sweet potato in Plateau State Nigeria. Therefore, policy holders in Plateau State need to offer agricultural extension services that would provide modern storage facilities or educate sellers of sweet potato on best way to use both basket and root cellar methods which were their adopted methods commonly  used for storage  of sweet potato.

Abstract

Small-scale commercial farming firms play a critical role in achieving the objectives of the African Union’s Agenda 2063, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the rural economies of Sub-Saharan Africa. South Africa has a sizeable number of households engaged in small-scale agriculture to supply rural market demand. Small scale commercial agriculture has become a key source of revenue, employment, and food security for communities in rural areas. As such, the South African government has been assisting small-scale farmers financially via the Micro-Agriculture Finance Institutions of South Africa and the Department of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries. This support aims to alleviate poverty, create jobs, and improve food security by promoting small-scale commercial farming, primarily in rural areas. Despite this assistance, there is no clear strategy for achieving significant and evidence-based development. This study outlines a four-step intervention strategy for promoting small-scale commercial farming as a strategy for rural economic development in South Africa. These steps include defining a small-scale farming development strategy, and delineating production, performance, policy, and control measures.

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the level of Cadmiuum (Cd) and Lead (Pb)  in cattle meat, offals, water and feed samples. The samples were obtained from Al Muwalih area (Omdurman locality- Sudan). Laboratory analysis was carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Usually, animals are transported from theWestern region of Sudan to the capital city Khartoum, were after few months will be slaughtered for consumption. The highest concentration of Cd and Pb was observed in kidney and liver with a mean of 0.0302 ±0.003mg/g and 0.259± 0.008mg/g respectively. High levels of Cd and Pb were also detected in water and feed samples. It is thus important to supply safe feed for animals to safeguard animal health and reduce the risk of exposure of consumers to heavy metals.

Abstract

Hydroponics has been proven to increase crop production, particularly for leafy vegetable families, significantly. In addition, the hydroponic system can assist farmers in managing water and nutrition; as a result, this method is appropriate for sustainability as a real action to prevent further environmental damage caused by agricultural production. Several hydroponics systems have been invented; however, to get high plant yields, a selection of the system must be done by looking at the characteristics of the cultivated plants. Furthermore, artificial environmental conditions, such as light, temperature, and humidity, must be adjusted to accommodate the plant's requirements in a closed hydroponic system.  In this study, three hydroponics systems (i.e., wick technique, Nutrient Film Technique (NFT), and Deep Flow Technique (DFT)) were compared for morphology features, including the number of leaves, leaf width, plant height, wet root weight, and fresh weight. Caisim (Brassica chinensis L.) was grown on a single shelf; this design was intended to maximize land utilization in a closed area. Caisim's growing condition was under blue-red LED light for 35 days with a 16-hour illumination time at a distance of 15 and 20 cm. At harvest time, Caisim morphology utilizing the NFT approach produced a more significant (P < 0.05) result than the wick and DFT methods. Furthermore, on fresh weight, the LED at 15 cm outperformed the wick, DFT, and NFT at 20 cm by 20%, 47%, and 33%, respectively. According to the findings, the NFT approach combined with a 15 cm spacing distance or a light intensity of 250 PPFD was better and significantly impacted Caisim's shape.

Abstract

Much has been written about the soil over time, from different perspectives, however, the soil as an entity, as well as its role and functions are far from being fully recorded. In the Information and Knowledge Society, soil still has a significant role to play, in terms of its functions at the community level. We set out to make some scientific remarks and examples on these issues. Also, the soil is subjected to analysis as a cosmic-telluric-biotic product, in its gradual transition from the Hunting and Agrarian Society to the Society based on technology, information, and knowledge. What we have managed to summarize is a summum of definitions of the soil, and a conglomeration of functions, carefully nuanced and delimited, which open the way for the reader from the soil seen as a resource-support of the technosphere to the soil treated as a primary scientific concern.

Abstract

Livestock development sector remained conspicuous in many developed and developing countries. Nevertheless, animal manure management became an increasing concern relative to environmental and economic constraints. The daily cow manure varies between 60-85 kg per 1000 kg of body biomass. Thus, 33 to 70 % of biomass could be recovered in the form of cow dung for value added products such as bioenergy and biofertilizer. Halhale dairy farm of Eritrea has a potential to produce approximately 25 tonnes of fresh cow manure per day. Proximate analysis of Halhale dairy manure (HDM) revealed that it contains a mean value of 14.35% of total solids, which inherently composed of 64.8% of Volatile solids and 23.3% of ash content. Detailed elemental analysis using X-ray fluorescent showed that it has 43.1% of C, 0.31% of S, 0.21% of P and 1.18% of K. Hydrogen and nitrogen contents of 4.57% and 1.58% were evaluated for HDM. Thermophysical parameters such as PH, SG and lower heating value(LHV) estimated as 7.025, 1.68 and 19.97 MJ kg-1 respectively. Significant LHV values indicate the aptness of HDM for fuel substitute. In addition, estimated C/N values of 25.68-27.3, ensure their best suitability for the biogas generation. Rich organic matter and high moisture content in HDM support large number of earthworms in vermicomposting. HDM have showed excellent N:P2O5 of 3.84 to favor the growth of any crop. Higher Si content of 4.32% along with desired micronutrients of 0.043% of Zn, <0.02% of Cu and 241 ppm of Mn, were measured for HDM samples. The effect of sodicity on soil measured in terms of sodium absorption rate (SAR), and a mean value of 0.84 was estimated for HDM.

Abstract

Agriculture has an important role in human life because it serves as a provider of food, feed for livestock, and bioenergy. Realizing an integrated agricultural system in North Maluku Province is not an easy thing for the government, the community, or the business world. The purpose of this research is to analyze the potential of the integrated agricultural sector owned by each region and analyze the determination of location/region and integrated agricultural potential sector related to economic area development policy in North Maluku Province. As a result based on LQ value, almost all districts/cities in North Maluku Province on average have regional superior commodities according to sub-sectors (food crops, horticulture, plantations, and livestock), except Sula Islands Regency and Ternate City. Especially Sula Islands Regency, the superior commodities are plantation crops and livestock. In conclusion, by using an integrated agricultural approach has not fully applied the concept of integrated agriculture, both programmed under government agencies, companies, or self-help or community individuals. So it needs to be developed well integrated agricultural approach through the pattern of regional and sector/subsector approach into one unit by paying attention to environmental conditions for the realization of an integrated agricultural system in every regency/city in North Maluku Province.
