Abstract

Intercropping is the practice of growing two or more crops together in the same piece of land, and at the same time-boosts yield stability, reduces risk, enhances food diversity, alleviates poverty, and strengthens climate resilience. This study evaluated sorghum-pulse intercropping effects on yield, food diversity, and land use efficiency under the moisture-deficit areas of Dengora and Kalay Gondar, Ethiopia, during the 2017-2018 cropping season. A randomized complete block design with nine treatments and three replications was used, including sole cropping of sorghum, green gram, and common bean, as well as intercropping systems (sorghum-green gram and sorghum-common bean) arranged in 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 row ratios. The results showed that the maximum grain yield was obtained from both sole cropping treatments. All intercropping results showed that the land equivalent ratios were greater than one, indicating that intercropping is more efficient. The 1:1 sorghum-common bean intercropping system achieved the highest land equivalent ratio (1.4) and a significant intercropping advantage (4601-4837). Additionally, the 1:1 sorghum common-bean combination showed a 31% area time equivalent ratio advantage. Economic analysis revealed that the 1:1 sorghum common-bean arrangement yielded the highest net benefit (35,967 Ethiopian Birr). Based on agronomic performance and economic viability, the 1:1 sorghum common-bean intercropping system is recommended to enhance the resilience and diversification of the agri-food system in moisture-stress areas of Dengora and Kalay Gondar, Ethiopia, and similar agroecology.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the allelopathic effects of Anagallis arvensis on Zea mays under controlled laboratory conditions during the period 2022–2024. The aqueous extracts of A. arvensis were tested for their influence on seed germination, seedling growth, fresh weight, and dry weight of Zea mays, Triticum aestivum, and Pennisetum glaucum. Results revealed that a 20 g leaf extract applied for 72 hours significantly inhibited germination percentage, radicle length, fresh weight, and dry weight compared to the control. The degree of inhibition increased with both extract concentration and soaking duration. Treatments with 10 g, 20 g, and 30 g of extract initially enhanced germination over time, with the highest rates observed at 48 hours. However, the 20 g extract caused a notable reduction in germination at this same time point. Overall, a 72-hour treatment duration led to reduced mean germination rates across all concentrations. At lower extract concentrations, extended soaking time had minimal impact on germination. Notably, at 24 hours, germination increased with rising extract concentration; similarly, at 48 hours, germination improved with concentration except at 20 g, where a decline was observed. The only exception to the general trend was an increase in plumule length under the 10 g extract treatment. These findings suggest that the presence of A. arvensis leaf and stem litter in agricultural fields may negatively impact the germination and growth of associated crops, ultimately leading to reduced yield.

Abstract

This modern milling facility, called the Modern Rice Milling Plant (MRMP), operates in the field of logistics or warehousing and consists of seven production processes: raw material reception, drying process, storage (silo), milling, sorting, packaging, and stock handling. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are among the most common health problems directly associated with working conditions. This study aims to analyze workers' posture by evaluating working postures during the rice processing activities at MRMP Bulog in Jember Regency, to identify workers' Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) complaints during the rice processing process at MRMP Bulog Jember, and to provide posture recommendations to reduce the risk of high-risk MSD-related injuries during rice processing activities at MRMP Bulog Jember. This research was conducted from April to June 2025. The sample consisted of 5 individuals from the raw material reception and rice transportation to the truck sections, which are part of the rice processing population. The final OWAS score at the raw material reception stage (P1 and P2) was 3, indicating that improvements must be made as soon as possible. Similarly, during the rice transportation to the distribution truck (P3, P4, and P5), the OWAS final score was also 3, meaning that improvements are urgently needed to prevent work-related accidents. Therefore, the current method and tools used during the raw material reception stage pose a high risk to workers' bodies, and immediate improvements are necessary. The recommended tool is a long, pointed iron rod used to pierce or unload wet paddy sacks. This tool is suggested to facilitate the workers in performing their tasks and to minimize the occurrence of accidents or Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs).

Abstract

Risk preference in agricultural finance had become a critical research domain as farmers faced increasing exposure to market volatility, climate change, and systemic uncertainties. Research that specifically investigated risk behaviour and preference within agricultural finance remained fragmented and underexplored. Consequently, the intellectual structure, thematic development, and collaborative landscape of this emerging field had not yet been systematically mapped. The study aimed to identify the key contributors, dominant themes, and intellectual foundations. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using Biblioshiny 4.4.1 on 1,496 documents retrieved from the Scopus, covering the period 1975–2025 (24 April 2025). The results showed that publications expanded significantly after 2005, reaching a peak in 2023. Insurance, investment, and sustainability emerged as central research themes, while financial literacy, climate change, and pandemic-related risk appeared as emerging frontiers. Research on agricultural finance and risk preference developed into a multidisciplinary and globally interconnected domain, drawing insights from economics, environmental studies, and behavioral sciences. Future research on risk behaviour in agricultural finance should integrate behavioural insights with digital finance and climate risk modelling while expanding evidence from underrepresented regions such as Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Stronger linkages between farmer behaviour and policy innovations are essential to advance agricultural finance.

Abstract

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is a versatile pulse crop commonly grown in Ethiopia. The study aimed to develop a stable, high-yielding Kabuli chickpea variety with broad adaptability. The research was conducted over three years across eleven environments, testing thirteen genotypes using a randomized complete block design with three replications. GGE biplot analysis and a multi-trait stability index (MTSI) were used to identify genotypes that are both high-yielding and stable. The combined ANOVA showed significant differences among the genotypes for all traits except seed per pod (SPP). The highest grain yield, 1897.7 kg/ha, was recorded for genotype DZ-2012-CK-0291 (G12), followed by DZ-2012-CK-0306 (G13) with 1797.2 kg/ha. The lowest yield was observed in the variety Acosdubie, with 1023.3 kg/ha. Stability analysis comparing mean performance and stability indicated that genotypes DZ-2012-CK-0291 (G12) and ICCI449XEjerip6-14 (G1) were both high-yielding and stable. Conversely, Acosdubie (G4), Flip-09-76c (G6), and Arerti (G10) were stable but low-yielding. Meanwhile, DZ-2012-CK-0025 (G7), Flip-09-187c (G8), and DZ-2012-CK-0306 (G13) were high-yielding but unstable across environments. The results from the MTSI showed that DZ-2012-CK-0291 (G12) and Flip-93-146-c (G11) were stable across different environments. In conclusion, DZ-2012-CK-0291 (G12) proved to be the most suitable chickpea variety for cultivation in northwestern Ethiopia, based on both yield and stability.
