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

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

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

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

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

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

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                    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.
