Abstract

Abstract-In the dry land areas, intercropping is the right options in reduce yield reduction due to erratic rainfall distribution. Proper crop combination, optimum plant population and suitable row configuration is of paramount importance in intercropping systems. Sorghum as a main crop and mung bean as supplementary crop is the main cropping system in semi aired area of Wag-hemira zone, Ethiopia. However, the row configuration and seed proportion have never been investigated in Wag-hemira. Thus, an experiment was conducted to determine the optimum level of mung bean seed proportion and proper sorghum mug bean row arrangement for maximum productivity and profitability in additive series intercropping system during 2023 at Aybra. 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 system unsymmetrical way. The collected parameters in both study crops 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 partial budget analysis was carried out after reducing the yield by 10%. 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.Key words- sorghum, Economic benefit, Land equivalent ratio, seed proportions

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 RCBD 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

 Abstract—this study aimed to evaluate the production performance and genetic parameters of Abergelle goat milk traits in Addis Mender and Alquzu village, Wag-Himera, Amhara region, 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±0.34, 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

Inadequate rainfall with uneven distribution in time and space could harm the rainfed agriculture in the semi-arid regions of Eastern Amhara. Hence, irrigation is crucial to provide crop production and economic benefit. Therefore, the pre-scale-up aimed to promote improved irrigation technologies to increase grain yield, water use efficiency, and net benefit of maize. For comparison, two forms of irrigation practices (traditional and improved) were tested following the Farmer Research Extension Group (FREG) approach. The improved irrigation practices include agronomic packages (200 kg ha-1 Urea and 50 kg ha-1 NPS, seed rate of 25 kg ha-1, the spacing between rows and plants were 75 cm and 30 cm respectively), furrow irrigation (0.15 m furrow height, 0.25 m furrow width, and 0.2% furrow gradient). In Sedeni and Golina1, the net irrigation depths were 11.2 mm and 12.4 mm, 28.4 mm and 30.6 mm, 36.6 mm, and 37.8 mm, and 24.7 mm and 27.4 mm for initial, development, mid, and late stages, respectively. Depending on the agroecological similarities of the two sites, the irrigation was applied in 10-day intervals. The farmer's practice included: a local variety, broadcast sowing with 40 kg ha-1, traditional flooding applied in 12 day intervals, 50 kg ha-1 Urea and NPS each. The quantitative data was recorded by field monitoring and the farmer's perceptions were collected from the FREG members using a semi-structured questionnaire survey. The collected data was analysed by descriptive statistics. The result showed that the maximum marketable green cob yield (38,125 and 34,330 cobs ha−1), water productivity (17 cobs m-3 and 16 cob m-3), and maximum net benefit (222,575.00 ETB ha-1 and 174,487.00 ETB ha-1) for Golina1 and Sedeni respectively was recorded from the improved practices. Whereas farmer's practices gave minimum green yield (29,351 ha−1 and 26,368 ha−1), water productivity (10 cob m-3 and 8 cob m-3), and net benefit (123,905.00 ETB/ha, and 93,390.00 ETB/ha,) for Golina1 and Sedeni, respectively. Therefore, improved irrigation and agronomic practices had 29.9% and 30.2% green cob yield, and 79.63% and 86.84% net benefit advantage for Golina1 and Sedeni, respectively. In these respective small-scale irrigation schemes, the improved practices had lower seasonal net irrigation water demand (230 mm and 219.4 mm) than the farmer's practices (302.4 mm and 351 mm). It implies that the improved practices saved 72.4 mm and 131.6 mm of water for Golina1 and Sedeni respectively over the farmer's practices. Hence, from the result, it could be concluded that improved irrigation management practices (furrow irrigation, irrigation frequency, amount, row planting, plant spacing, seed rate, and recommended fertilizer, and improved seed Melkassa- 6Q) were more efficient in achieving high green cob yield, water productivity, water saving, higher net benefit, and acceptability by the FREG members.  Keywords: FREG, scale up, Small-scale irrigation, technologies.

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

AbstractThe current study was done on peanut genotypes including one check.  This study aimed to characterize the morphological variance of genotypes using the 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 were the least (2.04%). The genotypes revealed three different branching patterns such as alternate, sequential, and irregular with flowers on the main stem accounting (for 14.29%), (53.06%), and (32.65%) respectively. The majority of 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 traits 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 marketability. This genetic variability can be useful for improvement programs. Therefore, it is recommended that studies should be conducted on molecular characterization besides morphological variabilities.

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

The fertility status of Ethiopian soil is greatly dynamic across different landscapes. However, fertilizer recommendation is the use of nitrogen and phosphorus regardless of this landscape variation. 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 test was employed for comparison of treatment means for those which were statistically significant. Micronutrients and K didn't impose significant yield differences compared to the recommended nitrogen and phosphorus. The only difference is the control, percentage reduction, and increment in treatments. The study identifies phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) as the dominating yield-limiting nutrients in tef production in the Tehulederie district, while micronutrients, potassium, and sulfur contributed nothing to yield. The results showed that raising N and P application rates, particularly to 150% of the recommended rates, significantly increased tef grain yield at all topographic positions, emphasizing the need for optimal fertilizer management. Additional 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.
