Abstract

The availability of water is a major concern in regions with limited water resources. In such regions, the focus of irrigation management shifted from producing per unit area to producing per unit of water consumed, water productivity. An experiment was carried out, for two consecutive years( 2020 and 2021) at the research farm of Shire-Maitsebri Agricultural Research Center,  Tselemty district, Tigray, Ethiopia to exmine the  response of tomato to deficit irrigation at various growth stages. A randomized complete block design with three replications was used. Combination of three irrigation regimes (100%, 50%, and 25% of  full irrigation requirement) and four FAO-defined tomato growth stages (initial, developmental, mid, and late seasons) were considered to form a total of nine  treatments. Data on agronomy and irrigation water were collected and analyzed statistically. The results revealed that reducing irrigation amount  up to 75% during the development growth stage significantly decreased marketable yield by  66.5%. However, the highest water use efficiency (9.2 kg/m3) was achieved by reducing irrigation amount by 75% during the end-growth stage of tomatoes. Treatments with the lowest water use efficiency (3.5 kg/m3) were those receiving 75% less irrigation amount than the full requirement during the development growth stage. Reducing irrigation to less than 75% of the full requirement during tomato development stages can greatly impact marketable yield and water use efficiency. Therefore, the tomato crop is highly susceptible to water stress when receiving more than 50% of the full irrigation requirement during its developmental growth stage.

Abstract

Common beans are a widely cultivated crop in East and Central Africa. This study aimed to assess the factors affecting local bean production and marketing at the household level. Using a non-experimental research design, the study surveyed 111 farmers from the Isangati division in Mbeya District. Cross-sectional data were collected through expert sampling methods, and regression analysis was employed to examine the influence of socio-economic factors on the production and marketing of local bean varieties. The results indicated that variables such as age, education, occupation, and farm size significantly influenced bean production (p<0.01), as did market accessibility and the acceptability of bean varieties (p<0.01). The study concluded that proximity to markets, socio-economic conditions, and consumer preferences play a crucial role in shaping bean production and marketing outcomes. As a result, interventions should be tailored to meet both user and consumer preferences.

Abstract

Cat's whiskers plant is an ornamental plant used as a medicinal plant. The part of the cat's whiskers plant used is leaves. Accessions and harvest intervals are essential for increasing optimal yields to plant biomass growth and results. This study aims to determine the effect of differences in accession, intervals, and interactions between accession differences and intervals on the growth and production of a cat's whiskers biomass. The design used in this study is a complete group design of being randomized with two treatment factors. The first factor has two treatment levels: white flowering accessions (A1) and purple flowering accessions (A2). The second factor is a harvest interval with four treatment levels, namely a 1-week harvest interval (P1), two weeks (P2), three weeks (P3), and six weeks (P4). The results showed that accession treatment significantly affected the number of books, number of branches, flowering ages, leaf fresh weight, leaf dry weight, and leaf simplicia yields. Harvest interval treatment significantly affects the height of the shoots, number of shoots, number of branches, number of leaves, flowering ages, leaf fresh weight, stem fresh weight, flower fresh weight, leaf dry weight, stem dry weight, flower dry weight, and leaf simplicia yield. Accession interactions with harvest intervals significantly affect the height of the shoots, number of shoots, number of branches, number of leaves, flower fresh weight, stem dry weight, and leaf simplicia yields.

Abstract

The current study envisioned to assess the physical traits of sorghum grain for selected sorghum genotypes. Seed for the genotypes was sourced from the Lupane State University Gene Bank and grown during the 2022/23 agricultural season at Lupane State University Farm experimental plots. At maturity, laboratory tests on kernel/grain hardness, 100 kernel weight, bulk density, kernel diameter, colour and determination of presence of tannins through qualitative tests were done for all the 24 sorghum genotypes. Results from analysis of variance demonstrated highly significant differences (P<0.001) on kernel weight, kernel diameter, kernel hardness and grain hardness showing a great diversity of physical traits among all the 22 genotypes and 2 commercial varieties of sorghum. Mean 100 kernel weight was 2.59g, kernel diameter was 3.49mm, bulk density was 1.23g/cm3 and kernel hardness was 28.9%. Visual assessment was done on grain colour and seed was classified under red, cream, white and brown sorghums, and mixed colours. A chi-square test found a significant relationship between grain colour and presence of tannins. Genotypes NPGRC3124, IS9405 showed moderate levels of tannins while IS13996, IS29925, NPGRC1699, NPGRC1156 and NPGRC1478 had high levels. A highly significant strong positive correlation was shown for sorghum genotype between kernel diameter and kernel weight (r=0.81 at p≤0.05). Highly significant positive correlation was also observed between bulk density and kernel weight (r=0.4173 at p≤0.001). Kernel hardness has a strong positive correlation with bulk density (r=0.6242). Quantification of tannins is recommended to prevent negative effects on human and livestock health.

Abstract

Palmyrah sweet sap, obtained from the inflorescence of the Borassus flabellifer L. palm tree, is a popular natural drink in Sri Lanka, available seasonally from January to August. It contains a blend of water, sugars, and essential vitamins and minerals. The sweet sap is processed thermally to produce sugary products like crude sugar, jaggery, and treacle. It is crucial to analyze them to ensure their nutritional value, due to the possibility of vitamin decomposition during the production stage. This study aimed to quantify the existing vitamins in sweet sap and its derived products using validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The HPLC method validation parameters, such as linearity, accuracy, precision, range, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantification (LOQ), were determined. The results showed that the derived products from palmyrah sap had high concentrations of vitamins, with thiamine ranging from 2.81 to 35.16 mg/100g, niacin from 4.35 to 45.03 mg/100g, pyridoxine from 4.44 to 87.16 mg/100g, and ascorbic acid from 5.42 to 52.52 mg/100g. The accuracy of the HPLC method for vitamin analysis was between 98.43 and 100.64%, with a limit of detection ranging from 0.357 to 1.152 ppm and a limit of quantification from 1.081 to 13.573 ppm. The study successfully quantified the existing vitamins in the sap and its derived products, with overall results indicating that the vitamins were retained even after thermal processing.

Abstract

Climate change, driven by anthropogenic activities, has far-reaching consequences for our planet. Among its many impacts, changes in temperature, elevated carbon dioxide levels, and shifts in greenhouse gas concentrations significantly affect soil ecosystems. In particular, soil microbial communities play a pivotal role in nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and overall soil health. Soil microbial communities respond differently to the effects of climate change, like elevated warming and precipitation. The change in climatic conditions is reported to be adversely affecting soil biological activity directly through either drying or wetting of soil or affecting their associated plants. This review delves into the intricate relationship between climate change and soil microbial abundance, diversity, and distribution. The paper also discusses climatic change pressure on soil enzymatic activity and microbial biomasses, as well as soil faunal activity, as they are key indicators of soil health in a changing climate. Soil microbial communities cope with climate change by changing their diversity and physiological characteristics and by changing their symbiotic plants, which indicates the role of soil microbes in withstanding the negative impact of climate change.

Abstract

This study investigated the efficacy of some fungicides activities on fungal seed borne pathogens of two commercial maize seeds (Sammaz 15 and Sammaz 52). A total of 2500 seeds were randomly picked for each variety to represent a working sample from the seed reference collections. Out of the 2500 seeds, 400 seeds were surface–sterilized with 10% sodium hypochlorite solution, cultured and examined microscopically for the presence of fungal pathogens. Molecular analysis confirmed that all isolated pathogens matched with the reference accession from NCBI molecular database. Seeds were treated with different dosages of fungicides viz Thiram and Metalaxy + Tebuconazole and incubated for 5 days. The effect of the various fungicides on the incidence of seed- borne fungi, effect on seed germination and interaction of the fungicide were evaluated and analyzed. Percentage occurrence of the fungal pathogens revealed that Sammaz 15 have F. solani (29.0%), A. flavus (20.3%), A. niger (19.0%) and Rhizpus stolanifera (15.0%). In Sammaz 52, A.niger (40.0%), A. flavus (19.7%) and F. solani (27.0%). It was observed that F. solani was predominant in sammaz 15 while A. niger was predominant in Sammaz 52. Thiram (45.88 mm) at all doses showed greater inhibitory effects on mycelia growth than Metalaxyl + Tebucanozole (24.25 mm). The correlation analysis performed  on the data set reveals that  there is a  negative significant  correlation between  zone of  inhibition  and percent  disease  incidence  (r = -0.99***), but the relationship was positive with number of non-infected seeds (r = 0.99***). This shows that increasing the zone of inhibition will increase the number of non-infected seeds and the normal seedling (germination percentage). Thiram fungicides observed to be more effective in reducing the disease incidence than Metalaxyl fungicides.

Abstract

Butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea L.) is a medicinal plant known for its anthocyanin pigment content, which imparts a blue color to its flowers. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of shading on butterfly pea flower growth and production. The research design utilized a randomized complete block design (RCBD) for shading treatments. We replicated each treatment level four times, resulting in 20 experimental units, each containing four plants, for a total population of 80 plants. We conducted the experiment at the Experimental Garden of Gunadarma University Campus F7, implementing shade nets at different intensity levels (55%, 65%, 75%, and 85%), along with a control treatment without shading. We made observations on various plant growth parameters such as leaf count, plant length, days to first flower appearance, flower count, fresh weight, and dry weight. The results indicated that shading significantly influenced butterfly pea plants' growth. Plants without shading tended to exhibit better growth in several parameters, such as increased leaf count, higher plant length, and earlier days to first flower appearance. These findings underscore the importance of sunlight in supporting the growth and production of butterfly pea plants. Therefore, careful consideration of shade management is essential in agricultural practices to ensure optimal growth and maximum yield from butterfly pea plants.

Abstract

The seeds of Guibourtia coleosperma serve as potential Agroathelia rolfsii severely infects 500 plant species causing stem and root rots on plants including eggplants. This study evaluated the compatibility of integration of chemical fungicides x biological agents for the management of recalcitrant disease agents like A. rolfsii.  A factorial trial was set up using the completely randomized design with each treatment being replicated thrice. Interaction of Mancozeb (at 50 and 100% concentrations) x Trichoderma species caused 29.3-100% inhibition of A. rolfsii and Ketoconazole (at 50 and 100% concentrations) x Trichoderma species caused 95.8-100% inhibition of A. rolfsii. Mancozeb (100% concentration) x T. harzianum controlled the pathogen most, followed by the T. viride combination. The percentage inhibition by chemical fungicide (main effects) ranged from 100% inhibition by Ketoconazole (100% concentration) to 97.9-100% for Ketoconazole (50% concentration), to 65.2-93.6% for Mancozeb (100% concentration) and lastly 23.3-78.6% for Mancozeb (50% concentration) with time. The percentage inhibition (main effects) ranged from 60.3-96.7% for T. virens, 60.8-92.1% for T. harzianum, and 69.3-95.8% for T. viride with time. The chemical fungicides and Trichoderma species were highly positively correlated (0.522** at p ≤ 0.05). The high concentrations of the fungicides antagonized the Trichoderma species as well, so more work should be carried out on this aspect. This approach to disease management for eggplants is highly effective using chemical x bio-control agents to safeguard eggplants from A. rolfsii. Applying this method can protect crops and result in long-term profitability. The combination of fungicides and biocontrol agents is strongly recommended for the management of this fungal pathogen.

Abstract

Amidst the agricultural landscape of Ghana lies a complex interplay of practices governing the use of approved pesticides and adherence to safety standards among farmers. By analysing data gleaned from 400 farmers through the multistage sampling technique, our aim is reveal the multifaceted influences that shape farmers' decisions in the use of approved pesticides and safety compliance. Age, education, marital status, farm ownership, experience, farm size, access to equipment and services, cooperative membership, secondary occupations, and income, significantly influence farmers' choices in the use of approved pesticides. Furthermore, compliance with safety protocols is found to be influenced by factors such as farm size, access to extension services, and the perceived relative advantage of pesticides. We advocate for policies that promote the use of approved pesticides and prioritise safety standards in agricultural practices. This may include strengthening regulatory frameworks, incentivising sustainable farming practices, and enforcing penalties for non-compliance with safety regulations.
