Abstract

Stunting is a condition regarding malnutrition, especially in children, which can cause a child to experience slow growth, decreased muscle mass, and weight loss. Protein is one of the important nutrients consumed by children so as not to cause stunting. High protein consumption is the most appropriate step to improve nutrition in stunted children. One of the ingredients high in protein content is Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) flour. This study aims to determine the characteristics of crispy brownies resulting from the diversification of arrowroot starch and BSFL flour and its potential as a snack for stunted patients. The design used in this study was a Randomized Group Design with treatment of the ratio of arrowroot starch and BSFL flour consisting of five treatment levels, namely (50:5), (50:10), (50:15), (50:20), and (50:25). The parameters observed were sensory characteristics and the best treatment followed by testing protein content, moisture content, ash content, fat content, carbohydrate content and energy. The results showed that the best treatment of sensory characteristics was obtained in the treatment of the ratio of arrowroot starch and BSFL flour (50:10) with sensory properties of color attributes 4.44 (like), aroma 3.94 (somewhat like), texture 4.38 (like), taste 4.19 (like), and overall acceptance 4.38 (like) with water content 1.37%, ash content 1.95%, protein content 8.04%, fat content 21.48%, carbohydrates 67.16%, and energy 494.14 Kcal. The developed diversified crispy brownie product also has the potential as a distraction food for stunting sufferers. It is expected to be a development in utilising local food ingredients combined with insects to support food security in Indonesia.

Abstract

Sunlight availability for plants plays an important role in determining whether a plant can produce its maximum productivity output. The study developed a Rhinoceros simulation model that can predict the sunlight availability received in the surface of interest on a vertical farming (VF) shelf design for a particular crop, given that the weather data of the location is known. The simulation model was developed and validated against the experiment. Moreover, the simulation model is compared against other research data from different countries. The dimensions of the experiments from Indonesia and Japan were replicated in the developed Rhinoceros simulation model, and the simulation results were compared against the experiment results. The analysis shows that the model can predict sunlight availability in a similar way to the research data of other studies.

Abstract

Vertisols are dark-colored clays that develop cracks when it expands and contracts with changes in moisture content. Tillage techniques and frequency have an impact on crop harvesting, drainage, soil erosion, moisture conservation, and weeding in Ethiopia's highlands. Five tillage methods, namely, broad bed and furrows (BBF), permanently raised bed with no-tillage (PRB+NT), permanently raised bed with no-tillage, and 30% stubble retention (PRB+NT+M), flatbed with no-tillage (Flat+NT), and flatbed with no-tillage and 30% stubble retention (Flat+NT+M), were evaluated for their effects on the productivity of vertisol. This study was conducted in Moretna Jiru wereda, Enewari, for seven years (2015 to 2022) in the central highlands of Ethiopia. In this study, soil indicators such as moisture content, bulk density, organic carbon, pH, available phosphorus, extractable potassium, electrical conductivity, and total nitrogen, as well as productivity indicators such as plant height, grain yield, and straw yield, were measured. The results indicated that Flat+NT+M and Flat+NT significantly increased wheat grain yield by 13.4% and 11.2%, respectively compared with BBF, for the experimental years 2015/16 and 2017/18. In the experimental years 2019/20 and 2021/22, the wheat yield was greater under BBF than conservation agriculture practices. Compared with conservation agriculture practices, BBF resulted in the highest grain yield of faba bean. The soil property data imply that PRB+NT+M, Flat+NT, and Flat+NT+M improved the total nitrogen, soil pH, organic carbon, moisture holding capacity, and extractable potassium. Economically, Flat+NT was the most profitable practice, with an 1147.6% marginal rate of return (MRR). Based on the results, Flat+NT and Flat+NT+M are beneficial for wheat production during dry years, while BBF is beneficial for fababean production.

Abstract

There are many determinants of malnutrition among school-going children. These include poverty, illiteracy and inadequate diet. To assess the nutritional status of primary and high school children in an urban area of Kohat. A cross-sectional study was performed in a primary and high school of Government sector in the rural area of Kohat. A total of 750 children between the ages of 4-15 years were studied. A total of 750 children between the ages of 4-15 were analyzed for this study. Out of 750 school-going students, 300(40%) were found positive, and 450(60%) were found normal according to age. Gender-wise analysis shows that in male students 105 were found positive for stunting and 75 male students were underweight. In overall female students, 69 were found stunting and 51 were found underweight. According to the age group between 4 to 10 years 45 female students were found stunting and 30 were found underweight. While in the age of 11 to 15 years 24 students were stunting and 21 students were underweight.  Gender wise prevalence of stunted and underweight showed more boys than girls. A lot more efforts are required in economic, educational, and media to improve the nutritional condition of the new generation of Kohat, Pakistan.

Abstract

Farmers consider chemical fertilizer to be the only reliable source of plant nutrients, but its use decreases the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted at Jibika College of Agricultural Sciences, Ramdhuni, Sunsari, Nepal, from March 2023 to July 2023 to assess the effectiveness of different organic and inorganic manures on the growth and yield of okra. The experiment was carried out in an RCBD design with seven treatments (poultry manure, goat manure, FYM, vermicompost, pig manure, the recommended dose of fertilizers, and the control), which were replicated three times. The Arka Anamika variety of okra was used as a test crop. After analyzing the organic manure, the rate of manure application was fixed based on the nitrogen content. Data were collected on growth parameters such as days to first germination, days to first flowering, plant height, plant diameter, and number of leaves per plant. Similarly, yield parameters, including  fruit  length,  fruit  diameter,  fruit  weight,  and  yield, were measured. Analysis of variance was performed on the data via R-studio, and significant means were compared via Duncan's multiple range test. After analyzing the data, we found that most of the growth parameters, such as plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, largest leaf length, and breadth, were prominent in poultry manure. Similarly, growth parameters for fruit weight and yield were significantly greater in poultry manure, but fruit length was greater with chemical fertilizer application. Based on the findings of the experiments, it was concluded that, compared with other types of fertilizers, poultry manure is the most appropriate fertilizer source for the optimum performance of okra, which is recommended for farmers.

Abstract

This study aims to develop sago starch-based bioplastics with the addition of modifying agents such as acetic acid, chitosan, and glycerin to improve mechanical properties, elongation, and biodegradability. The results showed that the optimal combination was reached at 4% acetic acid and 2% chitosan concentration, resulting in the highest tensile strength of 8 MPa, elongation at break of 26%, and degradation rate of 70%. At this condition, the bioplastic matrix has an optimal balance between strength, flexibility, and degradability. Increasing the acetic acid concentration to 6% caused a decrease in tensile strength to 4.2 MPa and elongation at break to 14%, indicating degradation of the matrix structure due to excess acid. Chitosan also affected the mechanical properties, where increasing its concentration from 2% to 4% tended to decrease the elongation at break. The degradation rate tended to increase with higher concentrations of acetic acid, reaching 82% at 6% acetic acid concentration with 2% chitosan, while higher concentrations of chitosan (4%) slowed down the degradation due to a denser and stronger matrix structure. Overall, the combination of sago starch, acetic acid, chitosan, and glycerin produced bioplastics that have improved mechanical properties, water resistance, and environmental friendliness, making them a potential alternative to replace conventional plastics in various industrial applications. These findings support the development of environmentally friendly materials that can reduce the negative impacts to the environment in general and in Papua as the local producer of Sago.

This electronic document is a “live” template and already defines the components of your paper [title, text, heads, etc.] in its style sheet.  *CRITICAL:  Do Not Use Symbols, Special Characters, Footnotes, or Math in Paper Title or Abstract. (Abstract) This study aims to analyze the response of different doses of NPK compound fertilizer on the growth and oil production of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). It is necessary to increase the production of sunflower oil by applying the appropriate dose of NPK fertilizer to meet the demands of the oil market. This study used a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), with 4 experimental treatments: NPK compound fertilizer doses of 2.5 g/plant, 3.75 g/plant, 5 g/plant and 6.25 g/plant. The results showed significant positive effects of NPK fertilization on vegetative growth parameters, specifically plant height and stem diameter. However, the fertilizer treatments did not show significant impact on sunflower oil production. Based on the observed results, the 3.75 g/plant dose (D2) was the most effective NPK dose for the parameters of leaf number, flower diameter, flower weight, seed wet weight, seed dry weight.

Abstract

This trial aimed to assess the composting potential of local materials and their integration with inorganic fertilizers to enhance barley productivity. The experiment involved preparing compost and evaluating its effects on barley production at two locations over two years. Mean treatment differences were analyzed using the analysis of variance (Proc-GLM) procedure. The combined analysis over the two years in the Dahana and Lalibela areas revealed that applying the recommended blanket inorganic fertilizer resulted in the highest biomass and grain yield. However, using one tone of compost along with half of the recommended nitrogen and phosphorus also achieved comparable biomass and grain yield. Additionally, this approach improved the soil's physical and chemical properties over time. Therefore, using one ton of compost with half the recommended nitrogen and phosphorus is recommended for the Wag and Lasta highlands and similar agro-ecologies where barley is grown.

Abstract

Fresh fruits are susceptible to fungal rots, but postharvest decay control can be applied by physical, chemical, biological, and cultural techniques. Uninoculated ‘Kings’ orange (Citrus sinensis cv. Nobilis) fruits exposed to steam prior to ambient storage were analyzed for quality. Rot occurrence was between 3.3 and 13.3 % weekly increasing with storage. There was no definite trend especially after the first two weeks though initially higher on the most severely heated fruits. Penicillium digitatum, Lasiodiplodia theobromae and Aspergillus niger were associated with rots. Weekly and cumulative weight losses were highest among fruits that received the mildest heat treatment at 55 ͦ C for 25 minutes. Juice content was higher in steam treated fruits though not statistically significantly. Juice pH was more significantly affected by heating as the more severe heat treatments resulted into less acid in the first two weeks but more, later in storage. Titratable acid content was 0.48 to 0.77. In the fifth week, slightly significant reduction in titratable acid occurred in fruits that were heated at 60 ͦ C for 25 minutes compared with control, but it was more significant in comparison with juice from fruits heated at the lower temperature. There were increases in total soluble solids content with storage but insignificant differences between treatments. These results show that the presently applied steam treatments did not have significant undesirable effect on the fruit juice quality during subsequent ambient storage of fruits
