Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the level of Cadmiuum (Cd) and Lead (Pb)  in cattle meat, offals, water and feed samples. The samples were obtained from Al Muwalih area (Omdurman locality- Sudan). Laboratory analysis was carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Usually, animals are transported from theWestern region of Sudan to the capital city Khartoum, were after few months will be slaughtered for consumption. The highest concentration of Cd and Pb was observed in kidney and liver with a mean of 0.0302 ±0.003mg/g and 0.259± 0.008mg/g respectively. High levels of Cd and Pb were also detected in water and feed samples. It is thus important to supply safe feed for animals to safeguard animal health and reduce the risk of exposure of consumers to heavy metals.

Abstract

Hydroponics has been proven to increase crop production, particularly for leafy vegetable families, significantly. In addition, the hydroponic system can assist farmers in managing water and nutrition; as a result, this method is appropriate for sustainability as a real action to prevent further environmental damage caused by agricultural production. Several hydroponics systems have been invented; however, to get high plant yields, a selection of the system must be done by looking at the characteristics of the cultivated plants. Furthermore, artificial environmental conditions, such as light, temperature, and humidity, must be adjusted to accommodate the plant's requirements in a closed hydroponic system.  In this study, three hydroponics systems (i.e., wick technique, Nutrient Film Technique (NFT), and Deep Flow Technique (DFT)) were compared for morphology features, including the number of leaves, leaf width, plant height, wet root weight, and fresh weight. Caisim (Brassica chinensis L.) was grown on a single shelf; this design was intended to maximize land utilization in a closed area. Caisim's growing condition was under blue-red LED light for 35 days with a 16-hour illumination time at a distance of 15 and 20 cm. At harvest time, Caisim morphology utilizing the NFT approach produced a more significant (P < 0.05) result than the wick and DFT methods. Furthermore, on fresh weight, the LED at 15 cm outperformed the wick, DFT, and NFT at 20 cm by 20%, 47%, and 33%, respectively. According to the findings, the NFT approach combined with a 15 cm spacing distance or a light intensity of 250 PPFD was better and significantly impacted Caisim's shape.

Abstract

Much has been written about the soil over time, from different perspectives, however, the soil as an entity, as well as its role and functions are far from being fully recorded. In the Information and Knowledge Society, soil still has a significant role to play, in terms of its functions at the community level. We set out to make some scientific remarks and examples on these issues. Also, the soil is subjected to analysis as a cosmic-telluric-biotic product, in its gradual transition from the Hunting and Agrarian Society to the Society based on technology, information, and knowledge. What we have managed to summarize is a summum of definitions of the soil, and a conglomeration of functions, carefully nuanced and delimited, which open the way for the reader from the soil seen as a resource-support of the technosphere to the soil treated as a primary scientific concern.

Abstract

Livestock development sector remained conspicuous in many developed and developing countries. Nevertheless, animal manure management became an increasing concern relative to environmental and economic constraints. The daily cow manure varies between 60-85 kg per 1000 kg of body biomass. Thus, 33 to 70 % of biomass could be recovered in the form of cow dung for value added products such as bioenergy and biofertilizer. Halhale dairy farm of Eritrea has a potential to produce approximately 25 tonnes of fresh cow manure per day. Proximate analysis of Halhale dairy manure (HDM) revealed that it contains a mean value of 14.35% of total solids, which inherently composed of 64.8% of Volatile solids and 23.3% of ash content. Detailed elemental analysis using X-ray fluorescent showed that it has 43.1% of C, 0.31% of S, 0.21% of P and 1.18% of K. Hydrogen and nitrogen contents of 4.57% and 1.58% were evaluated for HDM. Thermophysical parameters such as PH, SG and lower heating value(LHV) estimated as 7.025, 1.68 and 19.97 MJ kg-1 respectively. Significant LHV values indicate the aptness of HDM for fuel substitute. In addition, estimated C/N values of 25.68-27.3, ensure their best suitability for the biogas generation. Rich organic matter and high moisture content in HDM support large number of earthworms in vermicomposting. HDM have showed excellent N:P2O5 of 3.84 to favor the growth of any crop. Higher Si content of 4.32% along with desired micronutrients of 0.043% of Zn, <0.02% of Cu and 241 ppm of Mn, were measured for HDM samples. The effect of sodicity on soil measured in terms of sodium absorption rate (SAR), and a mean value of 0.84 was estimated for HDM.

Abstract

Agriculture has an important role in human life because it serves as a provider of food, feed for livestock, and bioenergy. Realizing an integrated agricultural system in North Maluku Province is not an easy thing for the government, the community, or the business world. The purpose of this research is to analyze the potential of the integrated agricultural sector owned by each region and analyze the determination of location/region and integrated agricultural potential sector related to economic area development policy in North Maluku Province. As a result based on LQ value, almost all districts/cities in North Maluku Province on average have regional superior commodities according to sub-sectors (food crops, horticulture, plantations, and livestock), except Sula Islands Regency and Ternate City. Especially Sula Islands Regency, the superior commodities are plantation crops and livestock. In conclusion, by using an integrated agricultural approach has not fully applied the concept of integrated agriculture, both programmed under government agencies, companies, or self-help or community individuals. So it needs to be developed well integrated agricultural approach through the pattern of regional and sector/subsector approach into one unit by paying attention to environmental conditions for the realization of an integrated agricultural system in every regency/city in North Maluku Province.

Abstract

Investigating Tunisian consumer attitudes about organic cereal products and the factors influencing their willingness to pay a premium price for them are the goals of this paper. Based on a face-to-face exploratory survey of Tunisian household heads, a descriptive analysis and a binomial logistic regression model were used to investigate the factors that would influence Tunisian consumers' willingness to pay more for sustainable organic cereal purchases. According to the study, 20% and 31% of the consumers surveyed indicated that they would be willing to pay an extra 10% or 5% on top of the initial purchase price to buy an organic product, respectively. The outcomes of the binary logistic regression model demonstrate that several factors are influencing. Factors such as consumer sustainability value, desire to pay more for quality, quality/price relationship, health value, and economic value determine customers' willingness to pay a premium price for organic cereal products. These elements must be taken into consideration by producers and processors of organic cereals while making managerial choices.

Abstract

Achieving maximum output with a minimum level of resources has been a major discourse in recent years mostly in Nigeria’s seed yam production. Thus, the study evaluated the technical efficiency of the CAY- and NRCRI - seed yam farm and the costs and returns to seed yam production of CAY- and NRCRI - seed yam farms. The study adopted a quantitative research approach. Similarly, a multistage sampling method was used to 283 seed yam farmers. Descriptive statistics, cobb douglas stochastic frontier production function model and gross margin analysis were used for the study. The findings of the study revealed that technical efficiency scores of CAY- (20%) and NRCRI (17%) – seed yam farmers were generally low respectively, Similarly, CAY-Seed yam farmers’ farms had a higher gross margin ($199.64) when compared to NRCRI seed yam farmers’ farms ($97.29), The study concludes that seed yam technologies did not generally improve the technical efficiency of the seed yam farms. The study recommends that external factors such as seed yam varieties used should be assessed. For instance, farmers’ compliance to technologies introduced and the state of health of seed yam farmers should be considered in determining the technical efficiency of farms.

Abstract

Food waste and loss is a current issue of global concern due to its significant effect on the country’s food security. Despite the importance of food service industry on the control of food waste, yet the magnitude of waste and food loss in each stage of the value chain is not clear. This study intended to explore the extent of food loss and waste, and dominant factors for the food loss and waste along the value chain. A well-structured questionnaires and interview guide questions were used to collect primary data from customers (n = 80), and working staff at restaurants/canteen n = 20). Quantitative and qualitative methods of data analysis were employed in the analysis whereby Structural Equation Modeling technique through Confirmatory Factor Analysis was employed to establish the dominant factors for the food loss and waste at each stage in the value chain. The findings revealed that the main kinds of food loss and wastes generated at different stages includes beans, rice, vegetables, food remains e.g., ugali and left outs, meat, fish, bananas and tomato such that rice and beans losses are dominant i.e., rated at 73%. Also, more food loss and waste occur at the production stage mainly during harvesting. The main causes of food loss and waste in the value chain are mostly lack of post-harvest and food preservation technology, customers’ and working staff ignorance, poor hygienic storage and preservation facilities. With this positive foundation, the study recommends future research to determine customers’ perceptions and behavioral patterns regarding food loss and waste along the value chain.

Abstract

Black pod disease of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) caused by Phytophthora palmivora is the major constraint in cocoa production in southwestern Ethiopia. Therefore, integrated field management trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of different fungicides against a disease epidemic of cocoa black pod in southwestern Ethiopia. The field experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with seven treatments and three replications. The experiment was performed during the 2021 and 2022 main cropping seasons using five fungicides: Copper oxychloride (Koka blue 50 WG) combined with cultural practices, Agro-laxyl 63.5 WP (Metalaxyl + Mancozeb) combined with cultural practices, Progress 250 EC (Propiconazole 25%) combined with cultural practices, Ethiozeb 80% WP (Mancozeb) combined with cultural practices, More 720 WP (Mancozeb  +Cymoxanil) combined with cultural practices, cultural practices alone and control without any cultural practices and fungicides spray for control of black pod infection. Cultural practices such as nutrient management, pruning, plant and field hygiene etc. were implemented in all treatments except control. The results of the experiment indicated that copper oxychloride (Koka blue 50 WG) combined with cultural practices significantly affected the cocoa black pod epidemics. When paired with cultural practices, copper oxychloride (Koka blue 50 WG) had a considerably greater impact on lowering disease severity (4.76) than the other treatments. Additionally, compared to control plots, the incidence of disease was reduced by more than 50% when cultural practices alone were used. This shows that in farms where black pod disease severity is low, the disease may be economically managed by implementing cultural measures alone. So, the the study's findings, black pod disease can be controlled in areas with a high disease incidence by combining the application of copper oxychloride (Koka blue 50 WG) with other cultural practices.

Abstract

The biological treatment of fruit wastes into single-cell protein has the potential to address the global protein shortage problem by producing a cost-effective product for food and feed. Pollution may be reduced if the substrate was made from the leftovers from the food processing industry. Herein, the submerged fermentation method was to make single-cell protein from pineapple and orange peels. Results indicated that fruit wastes analysed were highly hydrolysable. Proximate analysis of fruit wastes protein content of orange peel (10.73±0.02%) was significantly higher (P<0.05) than the protein content of pineapple peels (7.50±0.016%). When Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cultivated on fruit hydrolysate medium (FHM) without supplementation, the proportion of protein in single-cell protein was substantially lower, which produced (41.50±0.05% and 37.97±0.006%) total carbohydrate with (29.73±0.031% and 34.50±0.4%) crude protein, in both pineapple and orange medium respectively. The introduction of glucose to the supplemented fruit hydrolysate medium (GSFHM), increased the level of protein (45.50±0.031 and 37.73±0.011%) within the yeast cell, the comparison of treatment showed P<0.05, thus we can conclude that there is significant difference in the overall comparison of treatments in most of the parameters. The ITS2 region sequence analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MA851180, revealed 99% identity with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Thus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces higher amount of Single Cell Protein by submerged fermentation of pineapple peel hydrolysate as compared to orange peel hydrolysate. Hence, the single cell protein production by yeast depends on the growth substrates or media composition. SCP from yeast using fruit waste can serve as cheaper alternative to the conventional protein gotten from plant and animal and by selecting the most suitable prospective microbe and cost-effective technique.
