Abstract

This study is focused on the impact of improper disposal of hair dressing contaminated water on farmland within different communities. Presence of different heavy metals were detected at Ohofia and Isiukwuto communities while, Talinum triangulare and Telfairer occindentalis were planted in the soil obtained from sampling sites. Health risk, ecological risk and bioaccumulation factor was estimated on the plants. Different heavy metals were accumulated in the plants. However, iron was highest in both T. triangulare and T. occidentalis with value of 109.92 and 48.84 respectively. The bioaccumulation factor of plants was in this order Fe < Cd< Mn < Cr < Zn < Ni < Cu < As < Pb < Hg respectively. Besides, Fe is considered to be of high ecological risk concerns (160 ≤ Eir < 320). While, the health risk showed that the ten heavy metals detected exceeded the non-carcinogenic risk (I.e. THQ >1) though, in Isiukwuato Fe appears to have highest THQ (target hazard quotient). The ecological risk perceived in the assessment indicates that hair dressing salon waste contamination of arable soil and farmland is unsafe. Therefore, effective and safe method is required for proper discharge.

Abstract

This research examines how public servants in Bida town, Nigeria, diversify their income through agricultural activities. It explores their socio-economic characteristics, the types of agricultural enterprises they engage in, the factors influencing their participation, and the challenges they encounter. Using a sample of 81 respondents identified through snowball sampling, the study employed descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and factor analysis to analyze the data. The findings show that most respondents were middle-aged married men, with crop farming being their primary choice for diversification, followed by poultry and ruminant farming. Key factors driving diversification were demographic, economic, and environmental, while occupational factors had a lesser influence. Respondents highlighted market instability, insufficient resources, and a lack of farming experience as major challenges to their diversification efforts. The study illustrates that agricultural diversification is a practical strategy for improving income stability among public servants. However, overcoming barriers like fluctuating markets, limited access to resources, and skill gaps is essential. It recommends implementing policies that provide targeted support, establishing training programs to build capacity, and promoting gender-inclusive initiatives to enhance sustainable diversification.

Abstract

Declining soil fertility caused by the continuous use of chemical fertilizers has encouraged the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly nutrient management strategies. Compost tea, a liquid extract derived from mature compost, has gained attention due to its potential to supply readily available nutrients and beneficial microorganisms. This study aimed to evaluate the compost tea production process and assess the effects of aerated compost tea (ACT) and non-aerated compost tea (NACT) at different application concentrations on the early growth of maize (Zea mays L.). The experiment was conducted under controlled conditions in November 2025 using maize as the test plant. Compost tea was prepared by extracting mature compost in water at a ratio of 1:5, with aeration applied for ACT and without aeration for NACT over a three-day fermentation period. Treatments consisted of ACT and NACT applied at concentrations of 30 ml and 60 ml, along with a control. Plant growth parameters, including plant height and root length, were observed during the early growth phase (2–7 days after planting). The results showed that compost tea application significantly affected maize growth during the early growth stage (P < 0.05). Aerated compost tea generally produced better growth responses than non-aerated compost tea, particularly at lower concentrations. The ACT treatment at 30 ml resulted in the highest plant height and root length, while higher concentrations, especially NACT at 60 ml, tended to suppress plant growth. These findings indicate that compost tea primarily functions as an early growth stimulant and that excessive application may reduce its effectiveness. In conclusion, aerated compost tea at low concentrations is more effective in promoting early maize growth than non-aerated compost tea. Proper optimization of compost tea concentration and application strategy is essential to maximize its benefits within sustainable agricultural systems.

Abstract

Several studies have shown that keeping areas free from animal contact can not only restore degraded areas but also improve benefits to local communities. This survey aimed to identify the changes brought in the area enclosures after enclosure, the benefits they are giving to the users, and the current constraints of area enclosures in the Wag-Lasta area. A simple random sampling method was used to select respondents. A total of 180 respondents, from users of the area enclosure, participated. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics using the SPSS tool version 26. According to the result, the majority of the respondents (74.4%) said that area enclosures were effective in the rehabilitation of degraded lands, and confirmed that they were beneficial for soil erosion control, the development of water sources, the conservation of natural resources (soil, water, trees, and shrubs), and the regeneration of trees and shrubs. The results also showed that the local community got different benefits from area enclosures, like animal fodder (53.3%), bee pollen sources (23.3%), and reducing soil erosion (23.3%). The local community also gained, on average, 4102.3 ETB and 1018.18 ETB per annum from grass and fuelwood selling, respectively, from area enclosures. Despite all these benefits, respondents explained that area enclosures were under critical problem due to free grazing (49.4%); flooding (28.9%); and illegal cuttings (21.6%). Hence, to minimize the existing constraints and improve the sustainability of benefits from area enclosure, it is important to diversify benefits, create awareness, and introduce new technologies related to sources of better fuelwood and animal fodder, as well as strengthen local communities.

Abstract

Agriculture contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, mainly attributable to the ineffective and uniform application of fertilizers, seeds, pesticides, and irrigation water. Precision agriculture technologies, especially those utilizing variable rate input applications, provide an effective solution by modulating input quantities according to the distinct conditions of each field segment. While prior research has examined the theoretical advantages of these technologies, few empirical studies have measured environmental and agronomic effects across various input types. This study examines primary data from variable rate fertilizer application by quantifying the reductions in input utilization and corresponding scope three greenhouse gas emissions. The analysis contrasts traditional uniform application methods with precision-based strategies, demonstrating quantifiable advantages in reduced indirect emissions, enhanced input-use efficiency, and improved crop yield. The results encourage precision agriculture techniques by underscoring the environmental and productivity advantages of precision-managed inputs to guide agricultural policy, promote sustainable farming practices, and aid global warming mitigation efforts.

Abstract

Returning-back unharvested crop biomass into soil which is intended to maintain soil fertility status is now facing a challenge concerning self-DNA negative impacts related to the application of compost prepared from biomass of the same crop species at certain compost maturity stage. This study aimed at to evaluate the application effects of composts prepared from biomass of the same and different food crop species with different composting periods on the vegetative growth of rice, maize, and string beans and of DNA extracts from the applied composts on seed germination of the studied crops. The experiment applied CRD with 10 treatments [control, k (compost materials): rice (P), maize (J), and string beans (K) biomass, and composting periods: 0, 30, and 90 d]. DNA was isolated by the modified CTAB method. The results showed that application of mature compost supported the vegetative growth of the test crops, while kP30 and kJ30 treatments, stands respectively for the application of 30 days-composted rice and maize biomass, showed inhibitory effect to the vegetative growth of the same species (rice or maize compost applied to rice or maize cropping). However, in vitro self-DNA inhibition effect was inconsistent and therefore considered not occurred in this experiment.

Abstract

The marketing strategy evaluation of smoothie chips was conducted using a SWOT analysis and marketing mix benchmarking (4P) on two main comparison brands, namely Fitbar and Soyjoy, in Sumbersari District, Jember Regency. The main objectives of this study were to identify internal-external factors, analyze the product's competitive position in the dimensions of product, price, distribution, and promotion, and formulate appropriate marketing strategy recommendations. The research method used a qualitative approach (IFAS-EFAS) and quantitative (benchmarking) with a Likert scale questionnaire instrument (1-5) for 100 respondents. The instrument was declared valid and reliable with a Cronbach's α value > 0.70. The analysis results showed an IFAS value of 2.60 and EFAS of 2.85, which placed smoothie chips in the aggressive strategy quadrant. The product stands out in the indicators of natural ingredients (0.338) and uniqueness (0.329), but still lags behind in the aspects of visuals, taste, availability, and intensity of digital promotion. The SWOT analysis and benchmarking recommend implementing an aggressive strategy focused on strengthening brand image through storytelling and influencer collaboration, expanding multichannel distribution, enhancing sensory and packaging quality, and employing a penetration pricing strategy with multipack packaging. Given that the product is still a prototype, these findings are evaluative of initial market perception and require further verification through test marketing.

Abstract

The Tanzanian seed industry is a critical pillar for achieving national food security and driving agricultural transformations. The industry is primarily dominated by the informal sector which accounts for over 80%. The formal seed system, though in the growing phase, accounts for only a short of 20% of the total national’s seed demand. Despite notable progress in policy reforms and private sector growth, the industry is constrained by inadequate early-generation seed(EGS) supply, weak distribution networks, high seed costs, and the persistent presence of counterfeit seeds. This review synthesizes the current structure of the seed system, analyses key policies and regulatory frameworks, and evaluates the principal challenges and opportunities for escalating improved seed availability, accessibility and utilization. Future growth hinges on effective implementation of the new seed sector strategy, targeted investments in public-private partnerships (PPPs) for breeding and production, and the full operationalization of harmonized regional seed trade protocols.

Abstract

Bee pollen is an essential protein source for honeybee (Apis mellifera) colonies and a valuable nutritionally rich product for human consumption. This study evaluated the pollen production potential of local honeybee races and examined the effects of pollen harvesting on colony resources across three agro-ecological zones (highland, midland, and lowland) in Waghimra, Ethiopia. Thirty healthy colonies were selected in each agro-ecological zone and divided into pollen-trapped and non-trapped (control) groups. Pollen was collected weekly during peak flowering periods, and colony performance parameters, including adult bee population, brood area, nectar stores, and pollen stores, were measured using standard estimation methods. The results showed that colonies in the highland produced significantly higher mean pollen yields (102.81 ± 11.17 g/month/hive) than those in the midland (72.80 ± 5.84 g/month/hive) and lowland (69.68 ± 7.21 g/month/hive) agro-ecologies (p < 0.05). Pollen yield was also significantly higher in the first study year compared to the second year (p < 0.05). Pollen harvesting significantly reduced stored pollen area but did not significantly affect adult bee population, brood development, or nectar stores. The findings indicate that moderate pollen harvesting during peak flowering periods can be practiced without compromising colony performance. Highland agro-ecological conditions provide favorable environments for sustainable pollen production and improved apiculture productivity in Waghimra, Ethiopia.

Abstract

This study used a completely randomized block design (CRBD) consisting of two factors. Factor I included the Kanigara variety (V1), the Helina variety (V2), and the BM1 variety (V3). Factor II consists of control POC concentration (P1), POC concentration of 9 ml/L (P2), POC concentration of 12 ml/L (P3), and POC concentration of 15 ml/L (P4). The parameters observed for plant growth were plant height (cm), number of leaves (sheets), stem diameter (cm), leaf area (cm2), and flowering age (DAP). The parameters observed for production were flower diameter (cm), harvest age (DAP), total seed weight per plant (g), weight of 100 seeds (g), wet husk weight (g), and dry husk weight (g). The Kanigara variety was the best in terms of plant height, leaf area, flower diameter, and seed weight per plant. The Helina variety was the best in terms of number of leaves, flowering age, and harvest age, while the BM1 variety was the best in terms of stem diameter, weight of 100 seeds, and wet and dry husk weight. POC at 0 ml/L had a significant effect on all growth and production parameters. A significant interaction between variety and POC was found in wet and dry seed weight, with the highest results observed in the BM1 variety at 0 ml/L POC.
