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.Key words: Inbred lines, Standard heterosis, Maize (Zea mays L.) and Tester

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 is fermentation time which consists of 3 levels, namely 2 days, 4 days and 6 days. Meanwhile, the second factor is 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 variety (V1), Karina variety (V2), Bisi SL 02 variety (V3), and Grand Rapids variety (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 Waghemira 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). 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 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 duel.

Abstract

Despite the government and non-governmental organizations have promoted sustainable land management practices to improve agricultural productivity, however; the adoption rate of these practices among smallholder farmers remains low. This study aimed to analyze the determinant factors influencing the adoption of sustainable land management practices and identify the major challenges and constraints in adopting these practices. The data was collected from 267 households randomly using a multistage sampling technique, which included household survey, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions from three sample kebeles in Sekota district during in 2024 production season. Descriptive, inferential statistics and multinomial logit models were used for analyzing quantitative data while the qualitative data was analyzed by interpretation, narrations, and conceptual generalization. The multinomial regression result indicates that; the adoption of livestock manure was positively influenced by household age, education, livestock holdings, and income (P ≤ 10%), while the slope of farmlands and farm size negatively the adoption of livestock manure; compost adoption was positively linked to education, livestock holdings, credit access, and training (P ≤ 10%, whereas age, slope of farmlands and farm size negatively the adoption of compost. Inorganic fertilizer adoption was influenced by education, farm experience, credit access, and income (P ≤ 10%) age, distance to farmlands, slope of farmlands and farm size negatively the adoption of inorganic fertilizer. Integrated methods were positively affected by education, livestock holdings, family size, credit access, and training (P ≤ 10%), while the slope of farmland negatively affects the adoption of integrated methods. Most respondent farmers articulated that changes in the price of agricultural inputs (44.94%), lack of capital (19.1%), tenure security (16.1%), small livestock unit (14.61%), and labor intensiveness (5.24%) were the major challenges related to the adoption of these practices. Therefore, improving access to training, extension services, and credit, experience sharing, improving land productivity per unit area, and addressing the major challenges specific to each practice are crucial to promoting sustainable land management in the district.

Abstract

Malnutrition has 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 Association of nutritional status with Cardiovascular Disease in Karachi of Aged 35-65 Years Methods: In this cross-sectional study conducted from January 2024 to September 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 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 (45-55 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 Karachi 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, challenges such as poor management, infrastructural deficiencies, and suboptimal agronomic practices hinder their potential. This study evaluates the Shimburit small-scale irrigation scheme in Ethiopia’s Amhara region, focusing on water productivity and the impact of improved irrigation technologies. Employing a mixed-method approach, data were collected through surveys, interviews, and field demonstrations comparing full-package treatments (integrated advanced irrigation and crop management) with conventional farmer practices. Three representative locations were selected from local farmers as a replications and wheat was used as a test crop to demonstrate improved water and crop technologies in this scheme. The results revealed significant challenges in the sustainability of the schemes, with current irrigated areas reduced to 25% of the initially designed capacity. Poor water management practices, seepage in unlined canals, and inadequate maintenance were identified as major issues. However, the adoption of improved irrigation technologies demonstrated substantial benefits. The result showed that the full-package treatment gave 3.97 tons ha-1 of wheat yield (significantly outperformed conventional farmer practices (2.47 tons ha-1), with water productivity increasing from 0.55 to 0.94 kg m-3. The result reveals that adopting the advanced irrigation and crop management practice improve wheat yield by 60.7% and water productivity by 70.9% as compared to the farmer’s conventional practice. The study revealed that adopting improved technologies, rehabilitating infrastructure, and building farmer capacity are essential for enhancing irrigation performance and supporting Ethiopia’s agricultural development goals.Keywords: Wheat, Improved Practices, Conventional Practice, Water Productivity

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.

Abebe Assefa 1, Mesfin Abate2, Mekides Haile 3 and Yirsaw Hunegnaw21Amhara Regional Agricultural Research Institute (ARARI), Sekota Dry Land Agricultural Research Centre (SDARC), Sekota, Ethiopia2Debre Markos University, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Debre Markous, Ethiopia3Tach Armacho District Agricultural Offices, Central Gondar, Gondar, EthiopiaCorresponding author e-mail address: - assefaabebe986@yahoo.comABSTRACTIntercropping sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) and Mung bean (Vigna radiata) in lasta is a common practices. However, the optimal seed proportions and the appropriate planting pattern for a sorghum-mung bean intercropping system in the district have not been fully investigated. Therefore, this experiment was conducted in 2022 at Lasta district, North Wollo Zone, Ethiopia, to determine the optimal mung bean seed proportion for intercropping with sorghum and to identify the best sorghum-mung bean planting pattern and combination. Three seed proportions of mung bean (100%, 67% and 50% ) with three sorghum-mung bean planting pattern (1S:1M, 2S:1M, and 3S:1M) including sole sorghum and mung bean as a control with three replication were tested using RCBD factorial arrangements. Data on the agronomic attributes of the component crops in a mixture 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, the number of pods per plant, the number of branches per plant, the number of seeds per pod, biomass and seed yield were collected in the field and analysis using SAS software. The analysis of variance results indicated that most of the study traits were significantly affected by the seed proportions of mung bean and sorghum-mung bean planting patterns. 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 each crop alone. Therefore, 50% (125,000 plants ha-1) mung bean seed proportion with 1S:1M planting pattern are recommended for intercropping in the target area, based on its better compatibility, and yield productivity. Key words: - Seed proportions, planting patterns, Agronomic traits, Yield
