Abstract

In developing countries, crop production and productivity faces significant problems, among which soil nutrient availability is crucial. While primary plant nutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) have given considerable attention, on the other case; deficiency of micronutrients and secondary nutrients is becoming more widely acknowledged as a major limiting factor for obtaining optimal crop yields and nutritional quality. This review highlights information on the importance of micronutrients (B, Cl, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Zn) in agriculture crop production, focusing the growing prevalence of deficiencies due to continuous cropping, soil erosion, nutrient leaching, and unbalanced nutrient application in cropping system. Particularly focus given to the situation in Ethiopia and Sub-Saharan Africa, where exhibit multi-nutrient deficiencies are widespread in soil degraded, its impacts not only reductions of crop yields but also contributing to human malnutrition through poor crop dietary quality. Based on the evidence provided, addressing micronutrient limitations, crop yields can be greatly increased, nutrient use efficiency can be improved, and human health problems associated with micronutrient deficiency may be mitigated by using balanced nutrient management systems that combine macro- and micronutrients. The review provided the need for increasing research, targeted soil fertility improvements, and policy focus on micronutrients to ensure sustainable crop productivity and food security.

Abstract

Kailan (Brassica olerace L.) is one of the popular vegetables in Indonesia. Vegetable cultivation should use environmentally friendly fertilizers, such as cow manure and banana waste liquid organic fertilizer (BWLOF). This study aims to analyze kailan's growth and production responses with differences concentration and dose in liquid organic fertilizers from banana waste and cow manure, respectively. This study used a factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) consisting of 2 factors, namely banana waste liquid organic fertilizer (BWLOF) with concentrations of 0, 20, and 40 ml L-1 and cow manure (K) with doses of 0, 127, and 200 g/polybag. The results of the orthogonal polynomial test showed that the optimum concentration of BWLOF for kailan was 12.4 ml L-1, and the results of the DMRT test showed that dose of 200g polybag-1 of manure was the best treatment to increase the growth of kailan. The conclusion of this study showed that the provision of BWLOF significantly increased the root length and total dry weight of kailan plants. The provision of cow manure significantly impacted in increasing plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, leaf area, root length, and fresh and dry weight in the crown and roots, including the root crown ratio. However, there was no interaction between BWLOF and cow manure, which suggests that their combined use may not necessarily lead to synergistic effects.

Abstract

Abstract—this study determined the in vitro effect of isolated rhizobacteria from rice rhizosphere against the rice fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani. The antagonistic effects of rhizobacteria against R. solani were assessed using the dual culture technique and scanning electron microscopy for the mode of action and interaction. Among the nine rhizobacteria isolates, 7 belong to the genus Bacillus and one belongs to the genus Lysinibacillus while one isolate RM-W3-5 is unknown. The rhizobacterium were identified as B. pumilus, B. megaterium ,B. cereus, B. amyloliquefaciens ,Bacillus sp., B. rhizosphaerae, B. clausii and L. macroides. Results of dual culture technique of the rhizobacterial isolates inhibit the mycelial growth of R. solani from 8.9% up to 82.61%. Highest mycelial growth inhibition (MGI) of 82.61% was obtained from R. solani paired with B. pumilus while lowest MGI of 8.9% was obtained from B. clausii. The interactions between RM-W3-5 and B. pumilus against R. solani were tested using scanning electron microscope (SEM), the two isolates were selected because of their promising performance on the dual culture assay. Isolate RM-W3-5 paired to R. solani showed the structural alterations such as shrinking, shrivelling of the hyphae and hyphal disintegration. Similar occurrence was observed when R. solani was paired with B. pumilus. The results of the present study suggest that B. pumilus and RM-W3-5 is potential biological control agent against R. solani. However, supplementary analysis has to be done to validate the potential of these rhizobacteria.

Abstract

Pre-scale up study was conducted to promote Malt Barley improved irrigation technologies for enhancing water use efficiency, farm productivity, and the benefits of smallholder farmers at Barneb small-scale irrigation scheme. The rationality was that improved irrigation method is preferable for water saving, increasing yield, decreasing water logging and soil erosion, enhancing water productivity and easily for water application than the traditional flooding method. In order to achieve these objective farmers research was established with 30 (26 male and 4 female household heads) members. The fertilizer was applied as 100 kg ha-1 Urea and 100 kg ha-1 NPS rate. Double row raised bed furrow technology with 40 cm bed width, 20 cm furrow width, and 20 cm row spacing were applied. The net irrigation applied depths were 19 mm for initial stage and 44.3 mm for mid-season stage with 30-days irrigation interval. The result shows that the application of improved seed with improved management practices had nearly doubled water productivity (4.7 kg m-3) over the farmer's practice (2.4) kg m-3). Therefore, Ministry of Agriculture in collaboration with non-government organizations and other private sectors should work to scaling the technologies through irrigation extension packaging system.

Abstract

Bollworm is the major insect pest of Chickpea in Ethiopia. Field experiment was conducted at Sirinka and Cheffa research sites during 2022 main growing season to determine the appropriate rate and spraying frequency of Indoxacarb insecticide and select cost-effective management options of bollworm. A randomized complete block design was implemented with three replications. The combination of three rates and three spraying frequencies of indoxacarb insecticide and unsprayed treatments was evaluated. The lowest (0.27 and 0.03) mean larva number were scored from plots treated 0.75 L with three times spraying frequency at Sirinka and Cheffa respectively. The lowest (1606 and 1269 kg ha-1) chickpea seed yield was found from untreated control plots. Similarly, the highest (2956 and 2835 kg ha-1) seed yield was obtained from plots treated with 0.75 L rates with two and three times spraying frequencies at Sirinka and Cheffa respectively. However the highest (804.4%) marginal rate of return was obtained from plots treated 0.5 L with two times spraying. Generally, 0.5 liter with two times spraying of indoxacarb was effective in controlling bollworm and got the highest cost-benefit advantage as compared with other treatments. Therefore, it could be recommended for the management of chickpea bollworm in the study areas and similar agro-ecologies of chickpea growing areas in Ethiopia.

Abstract

This study investigates the gender dynamics in cocoa farming households across the Ashanti and Western South regions, focusing on their implications for agricultural sustainability. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 401 cocoa farmers through structured questionnaires. Data was analysed using descriptive (frequency, percentage) and inferential statistics (independent samples t-test). Results indicate that men dominate physically demanding tasks such as land preparation (82.8%) and pesticide application (85.0%). In comparison, women are more involved in less intensive tasks like drying cocoa beans (33.2%) and reproductive roles such as food preparation (74.6%). Men control essential resources, including land (82.3%), capital (78.6%), and agricultural tools, while women have greater control over processing resources like drying mats (20.4%). Decision-making is similarly male-dominated, with men leading in areas like farming inputs (82.0%) and household security (85.5%), although women exert influence in daily food decisions (42.4%). Despite these disparities, no significant gender-based differences were found in outcomes for yield, income, or food security. The study highlights the need for gender-inclusive policies and targeted interventions to promote equitable access to resources, enhance women's decision-making capacity, and encourage their involvement in sustainable cocoa farming.

Abstract

Crops are the cornerstone of human nutrition, economic development, and agricultural sustainability. The classification of crops into Kharif, Rabi, and Zaid based on their growing seasons reflects the importance of seasonal planning for optimizing agricultural productivity. Kharif crops, including rice, maize, and cotton, are usually sown at the beginning of the monsoon rainy season and harvested at the end of the rainy season. Rabi crops such as wheat, mustard, and peas grow during the cooler winter months, while Zaid crops such as watermelon and cucumber grow during the transition period between Rabi and Kharif. The success of these cropping systems depends on multiple agro-ecological factors, including climate, soil type, irrigation conditions, and seed varieties. Advances in irrigation technology, pest and disease management, and high-yield crop varieties have significantly increased food production capacity and strengthened resilience to climate change. In addition, strategically selecting and rotating crops not only improves soil fertility and reduces pest and disease pressure, but also supports livestock rearing in mixed farm systems, especially in regions such as Afghanistan. Crops not only ensure nutrient availability but also drive rural employment and export opportunities. However, challenges such as climate change, land degradation, and water scarcity threaten continued production. Therefore, it is crucial to combine traditional practices with modern technologies and policy support.

Abstract

Nigeria, one of Africa's leading tomato producers, faces substantial postharvest losses due to inadequate packaging methods, with losses estimated at 20% to 50% of total production. Traditional packaging methods, such as raffia baskets and nylon sacks, are prevalent due to their low cost but offer insufficient protection against mechanical damage and spoilage. This study investigates the acceptability of fibreboard carton boxes as a sustainable and efficient packaging alternative among tomato retailers at Mile 12 Market, Lagos, Nigeria. Using a structured questionnaire, data were collected from 80 retailers on their demographic profiles, current packaging practices, and perceptions of fibreboard carton boxes. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed that while 55.6% of respondents were aware of fibreboard carton boxes, traditional packaging methods were prevalent. All respondents (100%) recognized the need for improved packaging to minimize losses, with 55.6% viewing fibreboard carton boxes as viable. Key barriers to adoption included scepticism about cost and durability, though preferences for varied box sizes and distribution channels indicated flexibility in implementation. Adoption will require targeted awareness campaigns, stakeholder engagement, and alignment with existing market structures. Future research should focus on cost-benefit analysis and scalability of fibreboard carton boxes in Nigeria’s agricultural value chain.

Abstract

Abstract-In the dry land areas, intercropping is the right options in reduce yield reduction due to erratic rainfall distribution. Proper crop combination, optimum plant population and suitable row configuration is of paramount importance in intercropping systems. Sorghum as a main crop and mung bean as supplementary crop is the main cropping system in semi aired area of Wag-hemira zone, Ethiopia. However, the row configuration and seed proportion have never been investigated in Wag-hemira. Thus, an experiment was conducted to determine the optimum level of mung bean seed proportion and proper sorghum mug bean row arrangement for maximum productivity and profitability in additive series intercropping system during 2023 at Aybra. Three seed proportions of mung bean (200%, 100%, and 67%), and four row configurations (1S:1M, 2S:1M, 1S:2M, and 3S:1M) with two sole cropping systems as check in additive series in Randomization block design (RCBD) with three replications in factorial system unsymmetrical way. The collected parameters in both study crops were analysis using SAS software. The land equivalent ratio (LER), competitive ratio (CR), area-time equivalent ratio (ATER), monetary advantage index (MAI) were calculated. The partial budget analysis was carried out after reducing the yield by 10%. The highest total LER (1.39) and MAI (57119, 48971 ETB ha-1) were obtained when 67% of the seed was planted in the 1S:1M row ratio. The highest marginal rate of return (2094.203) was observed when a 200% seed rate of mung bean was planted in a 1S:1M row ratio. Therefore, based on the superior compatibility, and economic benefit, intercropping of sorghum with mung bean in a 1S:1M ratio with 67% seed proportion, followed by 200% seed proportion of mung bean is recommended for the study area and similar agro ecology.Key words- sorghum, Economic benefit, Land equivalent ratio, seed proportions

Abstract

This study evaluated the growth and yield of three soybean varieties in response to mycorrhizal dosage on coastal sandy soil in Purworejo Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The experiment employed a Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with Split-Plot analysis for growth variables. The first factor was soybean varieties–Grobogan (V1), Burangrang (V2) and Agro Mulyo (V3). The second factor was mycorrhizal dosages–0 g per plant (D1), 1 g per plant (D2) and 2 g per plant (D3). Each of the nine combinations was replicated three times. The observed variables ware Crop Growth Rate (CGR); Relative Growth Rate (RGR); Net Assimilation Rate (NAR); Chlorophyll a (Chl a); Chlorophyll b (Chl b); Harvest Index; Pods per Plant; Dry Weight of Seed per Plant (DSP); Dry Weight of Seed per Sample Area (DSS); Dry Weight of Seed per Hectare (DSH), and Protein Content (PC). Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and significant differences were further examined using post hoc analysis by the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The three soybean varieties showed differences in their CGR. The CGR at 59 days after planting showed variations among the three varieties. The most notable increase in CGR was observed in the Burangrang variety between 59 and 73 days after planting. Burangrang also produced the highest average number of pods per plant (67.71 pods), due to vigorous growth and optimal branching (1–2 branches per plant). However, the highest protein content at 42.88% was found in the Grobogan variety by 2 g per plant of mycorrhiza dosage.
