Abstract

maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereal crops worldwide, leading in total crop yield production. However, the national average grain yield of maize in Ethiopia remains low. Hybrid development is one of the most widely used breeding strategies to improve maize productivity. Selecting promising germplasm with strong heterosis is essential for developing high-yielding maize varieties. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the standard heterosis of the crosses for yield and yield-related traits. A total of thirty crosses, along with a widely used standard hybrid, were evaluated using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with two replications during the 2018 cropping season at Adet. Analysis of variance showed significant difference among hybrids for all the studied traits except number of kernel per row (NKR) and ear length (EL). Percentages of standard heterosis in each trait were observed from negative to positive values. High amount of standard heterosis in grain yield was recorded in L4 x T2 (40.32%), L4 x T1 (40.30%) and L11 x T2 (24.95%) over the standard check BH 540.  Based on standard heterosis L4 x T1, L4 xT2 and L11 x T2 are promising crosses for development of hybrid varieties after additional verification of the results.

Abstract

Cocoa is a product with high economic potential throughout the world. Fermentation of cocoa beans is the most important process in processing cocoa beans, because at this stage the distinctive taste and aroma of chocolate will be formed in the cocoa beans. Getting quality dry cocoa beans requires extensive post-harvest handling. Therefore, it is hoped that this research can speed up the fermentation process while maintaining the quality of cocoa beans by adding NKL yeast to the process. This research was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) using 2 factors. The first factor was fermentation time which consists of 3 levels, namely 2 days, 4 days and 6 days. Meanwhile, the second factor was yeast concentration which consists of 3 levels, namely 0%, 1% and 2%. The parameters measured include the number of seeds per 100 grams, cut test, fat content, water content and temperature. The research results showed that interaction of the length of fermentation time with the concentration of yeast feeding had a significant effect on the variable number of seeds per 100 grams, and had a very significant effect on the variables of water content and fat content, while the effect was not significant on the cut test variable. The best combination of treatments was the combination of period of fermentation time (6 days) and yeast concentration of 2% (L3R3).

Abstract

Lettuce cultivation is usually done conventionally and then transferred into a more controlled and efficient cultivation environment, one of which is using an aeroponic system. This study aimed to determine the Effect of different nutrient concentrations on the growth and yield of lettuce and the Effect of different varieties nested in nutrient concentrations on the growth and yield of lettuce with aeroponic systems. This research was conducted in March-July 2024 at Gunadarma University Technopark (UG-Technopark). The design used is RCBD Nested Design consisting of 2 factors (2x4), factor I AB Mix nutrient concentration (K), consisting of 2 levels of 1200 ppm (K1) and 1800 ppm (K2). Factor II, which is nested in factor I, is lettuce variety (V) consisting of 4 levels, namely Kriebo (V1), Karina  (V2), Bisi SL 02 (V3), and Grand Rapids (V4). Each was repeated 4 times, so there were 32 experimental units. The results showed that differences in nutrient concentrations had a significant effect on the parameters of plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, root length, header dry weight, root wet weight and root header ratio. The best nutrient concentration was obtained at 1800 ppm AB Mix concentration. The difference in varieties nested in nutrient concentrations has a significant effect on the growth and yield of lettuce, the parameters of plant height of the Grand Rapids variety, number of leaves of Karina variety, leaf length of Bisi SL 02 variety, root length of Karina variety, header wet weight of Kriebo variety, root dry weight of Karina variety and root header ratio of Kriebo variety nested in 1800 ppm nutrient concentration.

Abstract

Fish and fishery products are well known for their high nutritional value and quality; specifically, they are relatively low in fat, saturated fat, omega 3, and cholesterol, yet they are high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, protein, and minerals. The objective of the study is participatory sensory evaluation of fish products (meat) in different food items for the local community. The study was carried out in three selected districts (Abergele, Zequala, and Sehala) in the Waghimra zone of the Amhara region of northern Ethiopia. The fish recipes were fish stew (asa wote), fish duel (asa dulet), fish fry (asa tibs), fish goulash (asa gulesh), fish hamburger (asa hamburger), fish palpetii (asa palpetii), and dried fish (asa quanta). In the Sehala district, fish fry, fish goulash, fish palpatii, and dried fish scored the highest. In the Abergele fish duel, the fish stew score was the highest. The highest scores for fish recipe tenderness and texture were found in the Abergele district, where fish stew was the most popular. In conclusion, the participatory demonstration and evaluation of fish recipes in the Waghimra Zone showed promising results in terms of community engagement, overall acceptance, and the potential for developing local fishery resources. Future studies and continued monitoring are recommended to further explore and scale up dried fish, fish fry, fish goulash, and fish duelet.

Abstract

Despite the promotion of sustainable land management practices to enhance agricultural productivity by the government and non-governmental organizations, the adoption rate of these practices among smallholder farmers remains low. The present study aims to analyze the determining factors influencing the adoption of these practices and to identify the major challenges in adopting these practices. The data was collected from 267 households using a multistage sampling technique, which included a household survey, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions during the 2024 production season. Descriptive, inferential statistics and multinomial logit models were used to analyze the quantitative data, while the qualitative data was analyzed by narrations and conceptual generalization. The multinomial regression result shows that the adoption of livestock manure was positively influenced by household age, education, livestock holdings, and income (P ≤ 10%), while the slope and farm size negatively influenced the adoption of livestock manure. Compost adoption was positively allied to education, livestock holdings, credit access, and training (P ≤ 10%). The adoption of inorganic fertilizer was influenced by education, farm experience, credit access, and income (P ≤ 10%), whereas age, slope, and farm size negatively influenced the adoption of compost and inorganic fertilizer. Integrated methods were positively influenced by education, livestock holdings, family size, credit access, and training (P ≤ 10%), while the slope of farmland negatively affected the adoption of integrated methods. The majority of respondents expressed that changes in the price of agricultural inputs (44.94%), a lack of capital (19.1%), tenure security (16.1%), small livestock units (14.61%), and labor intensiveness (5.24%) were the major factors influencing their decisions. Consequently, boosting access to training, extension services, and credit, improving land productivity per unit area, and addressing the significant challenges specific to each practice are important for encouraging sustainable land management in the district.

Abstract

Considering the importance of regular exercise and a healthy diet in protecting against cardiovascular disease and CVD. This way the research aimed to assess the Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease in Aged of 40-70 Years Adults and their Association with Dietary Intake and Exercise Methods: In this cross-sectional study conducted from May 2023 to April 2024 among adults aged 40-70 years living in District Peshawar. 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 320 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 160% and similarly, the males were 160%. 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 (50-70 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. The people of Peshawar must change their lifestyle of exercise and diet to reduce this main health issue of CVD.

Abstract

Small-scale irrigation schemes in Ethiopia are pivotal for improving agricultural productivity and food security. However, poor water management, infrastructural maintenance, and agronomic practices hinder the potential of the scheme. This study evaluates the Shimburit small-scale irrigation scheme in Ethiopia, focusing on water and crop productivity. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, and field demonstrations of full-package treatments (advanced water and crop management) with conventional farmer practices. Three representative locations were selected from local farmers, considered as replications and wheat was used as a test crop. The results revealed that current irrigated areas were reduced by 25 % of the initially designed capacity. Poor water management practices, seepage and inadequate maintenance were identified as major issues. Adoption of improved irrigation technologies (full-package) treatment gave 3.97 tons ha-1 of grain yield and 0.94 kg m-3 of water productivity. This reveals that advanced water and crop management practices improve wheat yield by 60.7 % and water productivity by 70.9 % as compared to conventional practice. Therefore, advanced water and crop management is essential for enhancing yield and water productivity that supports Ethiopia’s agricultural development goals.

Abstract

Thailand’s significant contribution to the global chicken meat industry demands the adoption of sustainable broiler waste management practices, particularly as countries worldwide strive to implement strict policies aimed at reducing emissions from agricultural products.  This study employed the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to analyze diverse stakeholder perceptions regarding the adoption of these practices, utilizing a multi-criteria decision-making approach. Experts prioritized environmental concerns (0.4386), emphasizing sustainability, while farm owners prioritized economic factors (0.5987), reflecting profit-driven motives. Subcriteria analysis highlighted the significance of financial aspects, with “Capital cost” attaining the highest weight (26.05%), followed by environmental concerns like “Climate change” (11.05%). Technical feasibility and societal considerations received moderate prioritization. Stakeholder preferences for waste management methods further highlighted divergent perspectives, with experts favoring gasification for its environmental benefits, while owners prioritized land application for its cost-effectiveness. Composting emerged as a balanced choice. These findings emphasize the importance of considering diverse criteria in waste management decision-making, highlighting the need for comprehensive approaches to ensure sustainability in Thailand's broiler waste management practices.

Abstract

The increasing use of agrochemicals, including pesticides and fertilizers, has significantly enhanced agricultural productivity in Bangladesh. However, excessive application has resulted in severe environmental and health consequences, such as soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and human health risks. This study examines the extent and determinants of agrochemical overuse in the Naogaon district using primary data from 87 randomly selected farmers surveyed through structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis indicate that all respondents exceed recommended dosages, with overuse particularly prevalent in staple crops like rice, potatoes, and onions. Key drivers include increasing pest attacks (96.7%), high disease prevalence (96.7%), declining soil fertility (100%), and expectations of higher yields (70%). Additionally, 46.7% of farmers perceive recommended dosages as inadequate for pest control, while 56.7% report limited access to organic alternatives. Regression results show that education and farm size negatively influence agrochemical use, whereas age, farming experience, and household income positively correlate with higher application levels. The findings highlight the need for stringent policy interventions, including stricter agrochemical regulations, farmer education programs, and the promotion of sustainable agricultural practices.

Abstract

Planting patterns and seed ratio of the added crops determine the success or failure of intercropping. In the Lasta district, intercropping sorghum and mung bean is a common practice. However, there is a dearth of research on the optimal proportions of mung bean seeds added and the proper planting patterns for sorghum-mung bean intercropping. Therefore, this experiment was conducted in 2022 at Lasta district, North Wollo Zone, to determine the optimal mung bean seed proportion, to identify the best sorghum-mung bean planting pattern and their combinations. Three seed proportions of mung bean (100%, 67% and 50% ) with three sorghum-mung bean planting patterns (1S:1M, 2S:1M, and 3S:1M) including sole sorghum and mung bean as a control with three replication were tested using RCBD factorial arrangement. Data such as days to heading and maturity, panicle length, plant height, biomass grain yield for main crop and days to 50% flowering, 90% physiological maturity, pods per plant, branches per plant, seeds per pod, biomass and seed yield were collected and analysis using SAS software. The analysis of variance indicated that most of the study traits were significantly affected by the treatments. The highest grain yield of sorghum (3030.93 kg ha-1 and 3020.43kg ha-1) was obtained within 2S:1M x 67% and 1S:1M x 50% of planting pattern and seed proportion of mung bean, respectively. Intercropping sorghum in a 1:1 planting pattern within 50% seed proportion of mung bean gives 12.54 and 63.65% yield advantages over planting sorghum and mung bean alone respectively. Therefore, adding the 50% (125,000 plants ha-1) mung bean seed proportion with a 1S:1M planting pattern is recommended for intercropping in the target area, based on its better compatibility, and yield productivity. This practice will optimize land use, improve yields, ensure nutritional balance and food security, enhance soil fertility, mitigate climate change, and contribute to more sustainable farming in the district compared to the separate planting.
