Abstract

This study assessed smallholder cocoa farmers' perceptions of climate variability in Ghana. Through a survey of 600 farmers, findings indicate awareness of climate change, particularly in temperature, while perceptions of variability in rainfall and other climate variables were more neutral. Farmers identified deforestation and agrochemical use as key drivers of climate variability. The study emphasizes the necessity for targeted interventions to enhance awareness and adaptive capacity among farmers by recommending comprehensive adaptation strategies and equitable resource access. These insights aim to inform policymakers and stakeholders to promote sustainable cocoa production in Ghana.

Abstract

Palmyrah jaggery, a traditional sweetener valued for its nutritional properties, is vulnerable to adulteration, compromising its authenticity and safety. This study aimed to develop a simple, cost-effective on-site protocol by examining the relationships between sensory attributes, physico-chemical properties, and adulterant test results in market samples compared to a control (QC) sample. Twenty freshly prepared jaggery samples from local producers and a laboratory-prepared QC sample were analyzed. Sensory evaluation assessed the attributes of jaggery, such as taste and aroma, by the Difference from Control (DFC) method. Simultaneously, physico-chemical parameters, including conductivity, total ash content, moisture content, Brix, pH, and color, were measured using standard methods. Adulterant-specific tests, such as sedimentation, iodine, and saccharin detection, were used to identify impurities like rice bran, starch, and CaCO3. The sensory evaluation revealed significant differences (p < 0.05) in taste and aroma in 12 samples compared to QC, and 9 tested positive for adulterants like starch and CaCO3. Conductivity and total ash content proved to be reliable indicators of adulteration, as adulterated samples displayed lower values, reflecting a reduction in mineral content compared to the QC. Moisture content, Brix, pH, and color parameters were less reliable indicators of adulteration due to variations in manufacturing practices, such as processing temperature and filtration methods. Additionally, all market samples exceeded the SLS 521:1981 limit for insoluble matter, indicating inadequate processing. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a stepwise detection method combining sensory, physico-chemical, and adulterant-specific tests. The findings provide a foundation for ensuring the authenticity of palmyrah jaggery, promoting sustainable production, consumer safety, and market confidence.

Abstract

Land degradation is a substantial threat to agricultural productivity and economic growth in Ethiopia. Sustainable land management practices have been promoted by government and development agencies to improve agricultural productivity. However, the perception level among smallholder farmers remains low. The study objective was to analyze farmers’ perceptions on sustainable land management practices and practices utilized by farmers. Data were collected from 267 randomly selected households using a multistage sampling technique, which included an interview schedule, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions from three sample kebeles in the Sekota district during in 2024 production season. Descriptive statistics was used for analyzing quantitative data while qualitative data was analyzed by narrations, interpretation, and conceptual generalization. The most common sustainable land management practices included crop rotation (30.71%), livestock manure (25.84%), integrated methods (20.97%), inorganic fertilizer (17.6%), and compost (4.87%). Our study shows farmers had positive perception index scores for sustainable land management practices, with livestock manure (4.78), livestock manure + inorganic fertilizer (4.14), compost (4.12), and crop rotation (3.99) respectively, although lack of transportation, high price inflation, and labor-intensive were mentioned as the major factors in livestock manure, inorganic fertilizer, and compost respectively. The majority (78.3%) of farmers believed that soil fertility would continue to decline, while 12.7% perceived it would remain unchanged, and 9% perceived it would improve. The finding of the study shows that almost all farmers in the study area had a good perception on land management practices, as well as the causes and consequences of land degradation. The major causes of land degradation perceived by farmers were over-cultivation without fallow, soil erosion, the slope of the land, and poor tillage practices. Whereas declining land productivity, declining crop production, land becoming out of cultivation, hunger, migration, and poverty were the major consequences of land degradation in the study area. Therefore, increasing farmers’ perception about land degradation risks, enhancing extension service, improving access to training, improving land productivity per unit area, and addressing barriers specific to each practice are essential to promoting sustainable land management in the study area.

Abstract

Efficient irrigation scheduling is crucial for optimising crop yield and water productivity, particularly in water-scarce regions. This study evaluated the effects of different irrigation frequencies and depths on the yield and water productivity of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) at the Koga and Rib irrigation schemes in Ethiopia over two growing seasons. A factorial experiment with two irrigation intervals (10 and 14 days) and five irrigation depths (50 %, 75 %, 100 %, 125 %, and 150 % of crop water requirement) was conducted using a split-plot design with three replications. The results revealed that irrigation scheduling significantly influenced both grain yield and water productivity at both sites. At Koga, the highest grain yield (2.12 t ha⁻¹) and optimal water productivity (0.55 kg m⁻³) were achieved by irrigating at 100 % crop water requirement (CWR) every 10 days. Conversely, at Rib, the highest yield (3.21 t ha⁻¹) and water productivity (1.05 kg m-3) were obtained with 75 % CWR applied every 10 days. Increasing irrigation depth beyond these optimal levels did not further enhance yield and led to a decline in water productivity. These findings suggest that site-specific irrigation scheduling is essential for maximising field pea production while improving water use efficiency. The study recommends irrigating field pea at 100% CWR every 10 days in Koga and 75 % CWR every 10 days in Rib to achieve the best balance between yield and water conservation.
