Abstract

This study investigated the isolation and comparative characterization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains from indigenous fermented tea “Miang” and their comparison with the commercial strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae EC1118 under various fermentation stress conditions. Yeast strains were isolated from Miang, and their performance was evaluated in terms of sugar utilization, pH tolerance, ethanol concentration, potassium metabisulfite (KMS), sodium chloride (NaCl), and osmotic pressure tolerance. Optical density (OD) at 600 nm was measured using a spectrophotometer over a 24-h incubation period to assess yeast growth. The results showed that the newly isolated strain, S. cerevisiae MXH-1, exhibited superior growth in ethanol concentrations of up to 15%, with an OD increase of 1.22 compared to 0.12 for EC1118. Additionally, MXH-1 demonstrated enhanced tolerance to KMS at 200 ppm and NaCl at 5%, with significantly higher OD changes than EC1118. These findings underscore the potential of S. cerevisiae MXH-1 for industrial applications, particularly in high-stress fermentation processes. This study provides valuable insights into the fermentation capabilities of indigenous yeast strains under challenging environmental conditions positioning MXH-1 as a promising candidate for food and beverage industries. Further research is recommended to explore the genetic mechanisms underlying its resilience and tolerance to fermentation stressors.

Abstract

A wide range of agroecology of Ethiopia soil is deficient in both major and micronutrients. The new fertilizer type for crop production is formulated based on the nutrient deficiency. This location-specific fertilizer does not show crop yield variability when compared with the previously recommended NP fertilizer. Understanding the most yield-limiting nutrient in crop production under different agroecology is very important. Hence, the objective of this study was to identify the most yield-limiting nutrient and quantify the level of yield penalty in maize crops under three Locations in the Yeki district during the 2023 cropping season. Ten treatments constitute of control, recommended nitrogen and phosphorus (RNP), RNP +sulfur (S2), six nutrients (NPKSBZn), nitrogen omitted of fife nutrient (PKSBZn), phosphorus omitted of fife nutrient (NKSBZn), potassium omitted of fife nutrient (NPSBZn), sulfur omitted of fife nutrient (NPKBZn), boron omitted of fife nutrient (NPKSZn) and zinc omitted of fife nutrient (NPKSB) were arranged by randomized complete block design under three replication. Maize agronomic data were taken and analyzed by using R software 4.2.2. The mean difference of treatments was compared by LSD at a probability level of 5%. The pool means analysis of variance indicated that maize grain yield and yield components were significantly (p<0.05) influenced by different nutrient omissions. The highest maize grain yield penalty (42.19%) and (34.26%) were recorded under the control plot followed by nitrogen omitted plots respectively and the lowest (0.65%) from the previously recommended NP fertilizer applied plots. In the study area, the most yield reduction that showed more than 10% yield penalty of maize 34.26%, 23.20%, 19.92%, and 10.66% was due to N, S, P, and K omitted respectively. Since the study was conducted for one season further validation and demonstration for specific nutrients across multi-location and soil tests will be better to see more variability.

Abstract

The strawberry is a popular fruit known for its color and flavor, but it is highly perishable due to its high respiration rate with rapid ripening and lack of natural protective covering. Existing packaging techniques for strawberries primarily focus on marketing purposes that often do not provide sufficient protection against mechanical and physiological damage. In this study, different packaging techniques were investigated, considering the cushioning and respiration needs of strawberries. The material and design of the packaging were optimized to enhance strawberry storage and preservation.  The effects of packaging material on strawberry weight loss and shelf life were investigated.  Two types of packaging were investigated at 4°C with a relative humidity ranging from 74% to 84% using two packaging materials in the form of egg-crate made of molded pulp or Styrofoam, which was compared to common clamshell packages made of polyethylene material. Different strawberry attributes were measured including firmness, color, mold, weight, taste and aroma.  Results showed that Styrofoam egg-crate packages had the least weight loss compared to molded pulp and control packages. The ventilation design had a significant effect within treatment but not between treatments. Sensory test results showed that Styrofoam packages had better attributes in terms of firmness, color, aroma, and overall acceptability compared to molded pulp. The packaging type had a significant effect on strawberry shelf life, while the ventilation location did not. The findings suggest that packaging materials play an important role in prolonging strawberry shelf life.

Abstract

Abstract----the objective of this research was to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for growth and milk production traits of Abergelle goats in community-based breeding program (CBBP) scale up village.  The data used in the study was six years (2018-2023) data from the established village of goat community based breeding program area. The traits studied were, birth weight (BWT), weight at three months (TMWT), weight at six months (SMWT), weight at nine months (NMWT), yearling weight (YWT), direct heritability for growth and milk traits was computed by using WOMBAT software. Univariate mixed animal model was applied to estimate genetic parameters. Bivariate analysis was utilized to estimate correlations between traits. The overall least square mean of body weights ± standard errors (LSM±SE) for BWT, TMWT, SMWT, NMWT, and YWT were 2.3±0.04, 7.5±0.03, 8.8±0.040, 12.1±0.067, and 15.3±0.092 kg, respectively. The direct heritability estimates for BWT, TMWT, SMWT, NMWT, and YWT were 0.34±0.070, 0.45±0.062, 0.40±0.040, 0.42±0.07and 0.41±0.14, respectively. Phenotypic correlation of BWT with TMWT, SMWT, NMWT and YWT was low but that of TMWT-SMWT, SMWT-NMWT and NMWT-YWT was high and positive. The genetic correlations of birth weight with the studied growth traits were moderate but higher correlations were found among the other growth traits (SMWT, NMWT, and YWT), indicating as one of these traits increases; the others tend to increase as well. Therefore, birth weight as growth trait had no strong relation with later stages of growth traits in this study for Abergelle goat in scale up community based breeding programs.

Abstract

The correct application of plant nutrients depends on understanding the nutrient requirements of crops and the nutrient supply capacity of the soil. This study was carried out during the main cropping seasons of 2019 and 2020 to determine the economically optimum rates of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers for enhancing food barley production. The experiment was conducted using a factorial combination of three nitrogen rates (46, 69, and 92 kg N ha⁻¹) and three phosphorus rates (46, 69, and 92 kg P₂O₅ ha⁻¹) in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The plant height, biomass, and adjusted grain yield were collected and analysis of variance was conducted using SAS version 9.0. The results indicated that the applications of nitrogen and phosphorus containing fertilizers significantly enhanced the grain and biomass yield of food barley. The analyzed data clearly showed that yield and yield-related data of barley increased with increased nitrogen and phosphorus rates. The highest above-ground biomass yield (5466.2kgha-1) and the maximum grain yield (2884.6 Kg ha-1) were obtained with the application of 92 Kg ha-1 nitrogen and 92 Kg ha-1 P2O5, significantly outperforming all other treatments. However, the application of 92 kg of nitrogen and 69 kg of phosphorus kg ha-1 gave the highest economic benefit (53,592.3) with a marginal rate of return (1597.1%) resulting in higher net benefits than the other treatments. Therefore, the application of 92 kg N and 69 kg P2O5 kg ha-1 is recommended for food barley production in the study area and similar agro ecologies.

Abstract

The average yield of barley in Ethiopia is lower (2.5 t ha-1), as compared to the genetic yield potential of the released varieties (4.0 t -5.0 t ha-1). This low productivity is due to several constraints such as delivery of small quantity, poor quality and lengthy newly released varieties of early generation seed. The experiment was conducted to determine the effects of seed rate and seed class on seed multiplication ratio, seed yield, and seed quality of malt barley at Debre Birhan from 2019 to 2020. An experiment consisted of a factorial combination of four seed rates (40, 60, 80, and 100) kgha-1 and three seed classes (breeder, pre-basic and basic) laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The results revealed that seed rates were significantly different (P<0.05) on seed yield and, seed multiplication ratio. On the contrary, all seed quality parameters evaluated were not significantly affected by seed rates and seed classes of malt barley. The maximum (71) and minimum (39) seed multiplication ratio were recorded from the lower seed rate 40kgha-1 and the recommended seed rate 100kgha-1 respectively. On the other hand, the maximum (3960.90kgha-1) and minimum (2844.70kgha-1) seed yield were obtained from the recommended seed rate 100kgha-1 and lower seed rate 40kgha-1 respectively. However, 40kgha-1has 8.5% yield penalty as compared to the recommended rate in the study area. Hence, seed rate as low as 80 kgha-1 could be used at the three seed classes of malt barley with the integration of high input and intensive agronomic management in the Debre Birhan district during main rain season production. When seed shortage occurs, seed rates as low as 60 kgha-1 can be used at the three seed classes of malt barley to accelerate early generation seed supply with the integration of high input and intensive agronomic management in the same areas and production season

Abstract

  Abstract                    Water deficit and poor fertility of soil are among the main constraints for sorghum production in northern Ethiopia's semi-arid regions. A field experiment was carried out at Lasta and Sekota districts of the Eastern Amhara Region in Ethiopia to evaluate the effects of Ridging and tie-ridging time on the yield performance of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor). The experiment consisted of eight treatments of ridging time & time of tie (Tie-ridging at planting, Ridge at planting tying 2 Weeks After Planting, Ridge at planting tying 4 Weeks After Planting, Tie-ridging 3 Weeks After Planting, Ridging 2 Weeks After planting & tying 4 Weeks After Planting, Ridge 3 Weeks After Planting & tying 6 Weeks After Planting, Tie-ridging 6 Weeks After Planting); including Shilshalo as a control farmer practice which was arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replication. The experiment revealed that ridging and tie-ridging time has a significant effect on the yield of sorghum. Based on the result,- ridging at planting increased the yield of sorghum by about 37.9 % at Sekota (Aybira) relative to the control (farmer practice), and Tie ridging 3 weeks after planting increased sorghum yield by 30.11% at Lalibela as compared to the control (farmers practice). The highest yield of 3.642 tons/ha and 1.903 tons/ha was obtained from tie ridge at planting for Sekota (Aybira) and tie ridging 3 weeks after planting at Lalibela. Therefore, tie and ridge at planting could be appropriate for sorghum production at Sekota (Aybira) and sorghum growing areas. However, tie-ridge 3 weeks after planting could be appropriate for sorghum production at Lalibela (Kechinabeba) and growing areas.Keywords: - Sorghum, Tie ridge,  water deficit and yield

Abstract

Malnutrition and high lipoprotein level have a significant relationship with cardiology, as it can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and exacerbate outcomes in patients with existing CVD. This research aimed to assess the effect of diet and lipoprotein levels on cardiovascular disease in Karachi of Aged 30-60 Years. In this cross-sectional study conducted from January 2023 to April 2024. The participants´ dietary intake, physical activity, body mass index, fat mass, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and serum lipid profile were analyzed in the current study. A Questionnaire was used to assess physical activity and a structured 24-hour food-recall questionnaire was used to assess the participants´ dietary intake and exercise or physical activity was recorded on two separate days. Results: A total of 640 individuals were enrolled in the study. All persons had complete participation, filling out two separate 24-hour food-recall questionnaires. The number of females was 320 and similarly, the males were 320. Most of them were married, had an education level less than high school, in physical activity most of the higher-aged people were not involved remained in rest conditions, and were living in urban regions. Their dietary intakes of were contained regularly based on a balanced diet. The vegetable intake was also not proper.  Based on age groups, they were divided into five groups marital status, education level, based on region, physical activity, and dietary information were properly recorded. Observing variables (age, gender, physical activity, and daily intake of food groups) showed that more physiological risk factors for CVD revealed that daily intake of a balanced diet, and regular exercise had a significant association with having physiological risk factors of CVD. Based on the current study, it is concluded that most middle-aged (40-50 years) aged people in urban areas, had one to four physiological risk factors for cardiovascular disease and daily intakes of carbohydrates and protein were higher than dietary reference intakes for adults. Conclusion: We also found that the relationship of low physical activity with physiological risk factors for CVD was more substantial than the intake of different food groups. It is also observed that the females had more risk factors for CVD than the males. More relation were found between nutritional status, high lipoprotein level and CVD. The people of Karachi must change their lifestyle of exercise and diet to reduce this main health issue of CVD.

Abstract

Chemical fertilizers in Ethiopia have made a contribution to crop yield growth to date, although there is potential for further improvement. Phosphorus (P) is an element a primary constituent of plant and animal life. This study was conducted in East Amhara National Regional State of Raya-Kobo and Dawa-Cheffa districts in the 2018 cropping season to verify crop responses to phosphorous fertilizer. The test crop was sorghum (var. Girana one) for both districts. The treatments were: Control, Recommended NP, 50 Kg ha-1NPS, 100 Kg ha-1NPS and 150 kg ha-1 NPS with uniform rate of nitrogen. The design was RCBD and treatments were replicated three times per site. Recommended nitrogen was used uniformly for all treatments. The collected data were subjected to analysis of variance using SAS version 9.0. The Result showed that there was no statistical significance yield difference (p > 0.05) between different rates P fertilizer. Therefore, applying high amount of phosphorous fertilizers for the study districts for the test crops not advisable. But for the maintenance soil phosphorus, 10 Kg ha-1 P is enough.

Abstract

 Abstract—this study aimed to evaluate the production performance and genetic parameters of Abergelle goat milk traits in Addis Mender and Alquzu village, Wag-Himera, Amhara region, Ethiopia. Data on milk traits were collected from 2018 to 2023 by the Sekota Dryland Agricultural Research Center from farmer-managed goats in scale-up villages. The General Linear Model (GLM) in SAS was used to analyze phenotypic traits, while Wombat software estimated genetic parameters and breeding values. Milk traits analyzed included daily milk yield (ADMY), 90-day lactation yield (LMY90 days), and lactation length (LL).Fixed effects considered were dam parity, year of kidding, and season. Mean values for ADMY, LMY90 days, and LL were 302.6±6.68 g, 28.003±47.45 kg, and 9.4±0.23 weeks, respectively. Heritability estimates for ADMY, LMY, and LL were 0.08±0.005, 0.16±0.034, and 0.04±0.34, while repeatability estimates were 0.50, 0.23, and 0.06, respectively. These findings show   moderate variation in milk production traits within the population, suggesting selection as an effective tool for genetic improvement. The study highlights the importance of repeated measurements and fixed effects in designing a genetic improvement program for Abergelle goats. Results provide valuable baseline data for enhancing milk production traits in this breed.
