Abstract

In the dry land areas, intercropping is the right options in improving yield due to erratic rainfall distribution. A proper crop combination, optimal plant population, and suitable row configuration are of paramount importance in intercropping systems. Sorghum-mung bean intercropping is common in the semi-arid Wag-Hemira Zone, Ethiopia, with sorghum as the main crop. However, optimal row configuration and seed proportion have not been studied. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted at Aybra to determine the ideal mung bean seed proportion and row arrangement for maximum productivity and profitability in an additive intercropping system. 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 arrangement. The collected parameters 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 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.

Abstract

Chemical fertilizers in Ethiopia have made a contribution to crop yield growth to date, although there is potential for further improvement. Phosphorus (P) is an element a primary constituent of plant and animal life. This study was conducted in East Amhara National Regional State of Raya-Kobo and Dawa-Cheffa districts in the 2018 cropping season to verify crop responses to phosphorous fertilizer. The test crop was sorghum (var. Girana one) for both districts. The treatments were: Control, Recommended NP, 50 Kg ha-1NPS, 100 Kg ha-1NPS and 150 kg ha-1 NPS with uniform rate of nitrogen. The design was randomized complete design and treatments were replicated three times per site. Recommended nitrogen was used uniformly for all treatments. The collected data were subjected to analysis of variance using SAS version 9.0. The Result showed that there was no statistical significance yield difference (p > 0.05) between different rates P fertilizer. Therefore, applying high amount of phosphorous fertilizers for the study districts for the test crops not advisable. But for the maintenance soil phosphorus, 10 Kg ha-1 P is enough.

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.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the production performance and genetic parameters of Abergelle goat milk traits in Addis Mender and Alquzu village, Wag-Himra, Amhara region, in Ethiopia. Data on milk traits were collected from 2018 to 2023 by the Sekota Dryland Agricultural Research Center from farmer-managed goats in scale-up villages. The General Linear Model (GLM) in SAS was used to analyze phenotypic traits, while Wombat software estimated genetic parameters and breeding values. Milk traits analyzed included daily milk yield (ADMY), 90-day lactation yield (LMY90 days), and lactation length (LL). Fixed effects considered were dam parity, year of kidding, and season. Mean values for ADMY, LMY90 days, and LL were 302.6±6.68 g, 28.003±47.45 kg, and 9.4±0.23 weeks, respectively. Heritability estimates for ADMY, LMY, and LL were 0.08±0.005, 0.16±0.034, and 0.04±0.034, while repeatability estimates were 0.50, 0.23, and 0.06, respectively. These findings show moderate variation in milk production traits within the population, suggesting selection as an effective tool for genetic improvement. The study highlights the importance of repeated measurements and fixed effects in designing a genetic improvement program for Abergelle goats. Results provide valuable baseline data for enhancing milk production traits in this breed.

Abstract

Honey is a natural sweet substance produced by bees from plant nectar or secretions. This study focused on assessing the physicochemical properties of honey from the Waghimra Administrative zone in Ethiopia's Amhara region, and examining how different agro-ecological zones (lowland, midland, and highland) and sampling sources (beekeepers, SDARC apiary site, and local honey traders) influence honey quality. A total of 27 honey samples were collected across these agro-ecological areas. Physicochemical characteristics were analyzed following international standards, including the European Union Directive 2001/110/EC and guidelines from the Ethiopian Standards Agency (2011). The findings showed that the average moisture content, pH, ash content, HMF (hydroxymethylfurfural), free acidity, electrical conductivity, total solids, reducing sugars, and apparent sucrose levels were 17.16%, 3.56, 0.1g/100g, 1.99mg/kg, 24.17meq/kg, 0.25mS/cm, 82.84%, 66.68g/100g, and 4.29g/100g, respectively. All these values were within the acceptable ranges set by the Quality and Standards Authority of Ethiopia, Codex Alimentarius, and European Union standards, confirming the honey's high quality.

Abstract

In the semi-arid regions of Eastern Amhara, inadequate and unevenly distributed rainfall negatively affects rainfed agriculture, particularly maize production. To address this, a pre-scale-up study was conducted to evaluate improved irrigation technologies using the Farmer Research Extension Group (FREG) approach. Two irrigation practices traditional and improved were compared at Golina1 and Sedeni sites. The improved practice included the use of the Melkassa-6Q maize variety, row planting (75 cm × 30 cm), furrow irrigation (with specific dimensions and gradient), a seed rate of 25 kg ha⁻¹, and recommended fertilizers (200 kg ha⁻¹ Urea and 50 kg ha⁻¹ NPS). In contrast, the traditional practice involved local varieties, broadcast sowing (40 kg ha⁻¹), traditional flooding at 12-day intervals, and lower fertilizer rates (50 kg ha⁻¹ Urea and NPS). The improved practice significantly outperformed the traditional method, achieving higher green cob yields (38,125 ha⁻¹ at Golina1 and 34,330 ha⁻¹ at Sedeni), better water productivity (17 and 16 cobs m⁻³), and greater net benefits (222,575 ETB ha⁻¹ and 174,487 ETB ha⁻¹, respectively). This represented yield increases of 29.9% and 30.2%, and net benefit improvements of 79.63% and 86.84% over traditional practices. Additionally, improved irrigation reduced seasonal water demand by 72.4 mm and 131.6 mm, indicating substantial water savings.Overall, the study demonstrated that improved irrigation and agronomic practices significantly enhance maize yield, water use efficiency, and profitability, and were positively received by participating farmers.

Abstract

The growth of maize is often influenced by soil fertility, and municipal solid waste (MSW) has the potential to enhance soil quality when appropriately processed and supplemented with necessary nutrients, MSW can function as a beneficial fertilizer, supporting plant growth and improving soil health. This study investigates the effect of different Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (NPK) fertilizer rates combined with MSW on the growth and yield of maize. A pot experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm, Ekiti State University, using a completely randomized design with three replicates. The treatments consisted of 25% NPK+MSW, 50% NPK+MSW, 75% NPK+MSW, 100% NPK+MSW, and a control. Fifty kilograms of MSW were weighed into 15 different pots, with various levels of NPK 15:15:15 (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) incorporated. Growth metrics such as plant height, leaf area, number of leaves per plant ear height, and stem girth were accessed and yield parameters such as, Length of cob, Diameter of cob, Number of grains per cob, 100 grain weight, and Yield (g/pot) were also measured. The results revealed that the combination of 100% NPK with MSW resulted in significantly higher values for all growth and yield parameters compared to the control. This suggests that the use of MSW in combination with NPK fertilizer, especially at the 100% rate, can significantly enhance maize growth and lead to improved yield, while also contributing to waste management.

Abstract

The current study was done on peanut genotypes including one check.  The aim of this study was to characterize the morphological variance of genotypes using Shannon-Weaver diversity index. The experiment was laid out in a simple lattice design. Among the genotypes about (46.94%) had erect growth habits, followed by (34.69%) decumbent-3, while decumbent-2 (12.24%), procumbent-1 (4.02%) and decumbent-1 was the least (2.04%). The genotypes revealed three different branching patterns such as alternate, sequential, and irregular with flowers on the main stem accounted (14.29%), (53.06%), and (32.65%) respectively. The majority genotypes had red (46.96%) seed coat color followed by purple-red (22.45%). Purple, pink, and tan seed colors accounted for (12.24%), (10.20%), and (6.12%) respectively. The white seed coat color was observed for check. Among the studied trait the seed coat color (H'=1.44) had the highest diversity index, followed by leaf color (H'=1.29), pod beak (H'=1.20) and growth habit (H'=1.19), indicating that the presence of high diversity among genotypes for these traits. The diversity in qualitative traits might be good for varietal preference and its marketability. This genetic variability can be useful for improvement programs.

Abstract

Potato in Ethiopia is the primary tuber crop, and late blight poses a significant challenge to its production. Field experiments were carried out in Meket and Wadla during the 2018 and 2019 growing seasons to assess the use of salts in controlling late blight and its cost-effectiveness management strategies. The study included seven treatments: sodium bicarbonate, sodium benzoate, sodium carbonate, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, a systemic fungicide containing Mefenoxam and Mancozeb, and a control treatment. The treatments were settled in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The study found that there were significant variations in disease levels, potato tuber yield, and yield components among different treatments. Application of salts were found to be effective in reducing late blight disease, leading to higher yields. Among salts, the highest total tuber yield (23.59 and 22.02 t ha-1) was recorded from sodium bicarbonate at Meket and Wadla in 2019, respectively. The highest marginal rate of return (2,852%) was obtained from synthetic fungicide followed by 2,634% by sodium bicarbonate. Therefore, besides synthetic fungicide, foliar application of sodium bicarbonate can decrease potato late blight disease pressure and is advised to be considered as an alternative control measure.

Abstract

Nutrient status of soils in Ethiopia varies among different landscapes, but fertilizer recommendations are broad and mostly N and P based. Fine-tuning fertilizer recommendations and crop yield variability within and between landscapes attracted research attention in Ethiopia and across the globe. A field study was conducted in 2021 in the Tehuledere district of the South Wollo Zone of the Amhara Region to identify major yield-limiting nutrients for tef across three different landscape positions in a catena slope of 0-5%, 5-15%, and >15%. Fertilizer rates of 80, 57,7,30,1 and 0.3 Kg/ha of N, P2O5, S, K20, Zn, and B respectively were evaluated. The randomized complete block design was used. Dunckun's multiple range tests was employed for comparison of treatment means for those which were statistically significant. Analysis indicated that micronutrients (Zn, B), potassium (K), and sulfur (S) did not significantly influence the yield, whereas N and P were critical limiting factors for yield. N and P exclusion led to significant yield losses, and their doubling of application to 150% of recommended rates highly enhanced tef grain yields across all slopes. This indicates the need for better management of N and P in tef production, while current emphasis on secondary and micronutrients may be unnecessary in the study region. Other research should be conducted to determine specific rates of N and P application at the study area and other similar agroecologies, further focusing on potential micronutrient deficiencies on hill slopes.
