Abstract

Attempts to attain flawless agricultural production are still hampered by a range of restrictive factors including water scarcity, climate change, plant pests and diseases. Worries about the negative and unpleasant repercussions of pesticides on health are evolving in developing countries including Ghana. Cocoa farmers’ knowledge awareness, attitude, practices and skills in handling pesticides and the potential hazards it poses to them are vital in preventing pesticide exposure and hazards. This study examines the knowledge, attitudes, practices and aspiration of cocoa farmers in Ghana regarding pesticide use and the potential hazards it poses to their health. The paper highlights the importance of understanding the diverse roles and perspectives of male and female farmers in agricultural production. The study uses a quantitative approach and a cross-sectional descriptive approach to analyze data from 364 cocoa farmers in the Asamankese Cocoa District. The study found that both male and female cocoa farmers have a positive attitude towards pesticide usage, and their knowledge of pesticide handling practices is adequate. The study also found that male and female farmers have different levels of knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding pesticide use. The findings suggest that there is a need for increased awareness and education on safe pesticide handling practices to prevent pesticide exposure and its negative health effects on farmers.

Abstract

Macadamia nuts are a largely untapped potential source of nutrients, income, and livelihoods. There is low utilisation of this crop due to palatability issues and storability challenges. There is limited information on the effects of different processing methods such as roasting on palatability, nutrient retention and subsequent stability during storage of the nuts. This study investigated the effects of dry roasting macadamia nuts at different temperatures and their subsequent storage using different storage options on the nutritional and sensorial properties.  The nuts were dry-roasted for 25 minutes at three different temperature regimes: 150, 160and 170 oC, and were tested for nutritional content, antioxidant activity and peroxide value. Sensorial evaluation was conducted to determine the acceptability of the dry-roasted nuts. The nuts roasted at 160 oC were the most acceptable in terms of sensorial qualities. These were then stored under three different storage conditions, [open storage (control); plastic containers and glass containers] for 3 months. Samples were collected at 2-week intervals and analysed for proximate composition, peroxide value, and sensorial properties. Results showed that an increase in roasting temperature of macadamia nuts from 150 to 170 oC resulted in a significant increase (p<0.05) in ash, crude fat, peroxide value, and moisture content, while crude protein and carbohydrates significantly decreased. Roasting macadamia nuts at 170 °C significantly reduced their nutritional quality, while roasting at 150 and 160 °C retained the nutrients. Glass jars retained nutrients and organoleptic properties as compared to open storage and plastic containers where deterioration started after two and six weeks, respectively. Dry roasting of macadamia nuts is a viable way of value addition, and storage in glass jars is recommended for long-term storage.

Abstract

Fruits and vegetable by-products such as peels, rinds, and seeds are the focus of functional food research. By-products from jackfruit like seeds are functional foods/ingredients. However, studies on jackfruit seeds’ nutritional, physicochemical properties and safe consumption are limited. Thus, this study aimed to determine the nutritional and physicochemical properties of raw, roasted, and boiled jackfruit seeds, as well as how these seeds could be safely consumed. The nutrient composition, total dietary fiber composition and fermentability, resistant starch, antinutrients, heavy metals, and microbial load were determined using standard methods. Jackfruit seeds are good source of protein (9.9–10.2g/100g), ash (3.3–3.8g/100g), carbohydrates (21.45–82.15g/100g), a high source of dietary fiber (12.11–13.83g/100g), resistant starch (19.9–25.6g/100g) and amylose (20.61–23.03g/100g). Phytic acid, tannic acid, heavy metals, and microbial parameters of raw and thermally processed jackfruit seed were within acceptable limits, except for the microbial parameters in raw seeds. The starchy structure of processed jackfruit seed expands its granules with increased surface area, leading to better digestion. In conclusion, processed jackfruit seed can be a potential functional food or ingredient. Consumers and food industry professionals should be aware of the beneficial effects of jackfruit by-products.

Abstract

The lignite at Mae Mo mine in Lampang Thailand, which is the focus of this study is ranked as the lowest class in coal classification. The lignite is currently burned directly in boilers for electricity production, resulting in inefficiencies. The objective is to use low-temperature pyrolysis to improve the lignite. Lab-scale experiments were conducted using different lignite particle sizes (2.36 mm, 1.00 mm, and 0.25 mm) at temperatures ranging from 250-600°C and retention times of 0-60 mins. The best quality lignite was achieved processing a particle size of 2.36 mm at a temperature of 350°C and a retention time of 20 mins. The gross calorific value, fixed carbon, and char content increased with higher operating temperatures. Weight loss occurred between 300-600°C due to the degradation of volatile organic fractions and char formation. Ash and sulfur constituents increased in smaller coal sizes. The average gross calorific value of char was 23.04-27.19 MJ/kg. Lower operating temperatures, larger coal sizes, and sufficient retention time are recommended for the pyrolysis process to achieve optimal results.

Abstract

Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.) is a vegetable commodity that contributes greatly to horticultural production and inflantion levels. The use of superior seeds is expected to produce maximum shallot production. The majority of Indonesian farmers use 30% of the harvested tubers as planting material, with production costs being quite expensive. Many shallot farmers also experience several problems with tuber seeds that are hollow and damaged. True Shallot Seeds can be an efficient and profitable altervative planting material. Implementing TSS shallot cultivation is considered difficult and requires longer time for sowing. Soaking seeds using Gibberelin can have a physiological effect on the germination process. Seedling media factor with a certain composition are needed to produce maximum seeds. The experiment was carried out in factorial manner using Random Design Complete  with three replications. The GA3 concentration factor has four treatment levels: G0 = 0 ppm/control, G1 = 2 ppm, G2 = 4 ppm, and G3 = 6 ppm. The seedling media composition factors has four treatment levels: M0 = soil + compost/control (1:1), M1 = cocopeat + compost (1:1), M2 = husk charcoal + compost (1:1), and M3 = sand + compost (1:1). The data analysis used was Analysis of Variance, if there were significant differences between the treatments, a further tes was carried out using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test at the 5% level. The result showed that the interaction between GA3 concentration treatment and seedling media composition and the single factor GA3 concentration had no significant effect on all observed variables. The composition of the seedling media has a significant effect on the speed of seed growth, seed height, root length, and seed wet weight with optimum results for germination and vegetative growth of TSS seeds, namely the compositionof soil+compost/control (M0) seedling media on the variables of seed growth speed (%/etmal), seed height (cm), and seed wet weight (gram).

Abstract

This paper aims to study the presence of the relationship between the organic olive-growing area and the export of olive oil in the Tunisian economy; such as the producer price index for the case of olives and the exchange rate. A cointegration approach through an Auto Regressive Distributed Lag model (ARDL model) was mobilized for the period (2001-2021). The test results show the existence of a significant short and long-terms cointegration relationship between the olive area, the exchange rate and the export of olive oil. Similarly, unidirectional causal relationships have also been determined between the producer price index and the olive area on the one hand, a unidirectional causal relationship is caused by the exchange rate on the olive-growing area and this exerts unidirectional causality on the export of olive oil. The promotion of organic farming in Tunisia depends not only on the development of organic areas but also on the economic situation of the country. Thus, it can be concluded that limiting the depreciation of the national currency and improving the producer price index can improve the exchange rate and contribute positively to the development of organic olive areas and the export of olive oil in general

Abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate how different methods of delivering agricultural extension services influences the adoption of improved farming practices by cocoa farmers in the Bono Region. The study used data from 401 cocoa farmers selected through the multi-stage sampling technique. Generally, extension agents use farm visits and group meetings to facilitate the training of farmers on improved agronomic practices. Due to that, farmers perceived the use of farm visits and group meetings to be effective. We also found that farmers had a high level of knowledge on agronomic practices. The Tobit regression model was used to determine the effect of extension delivery methods on adoption of improved practices. The significant relationship found in this study between farm visits, group meetings, and the adoption of improved agronomic practices underscores the importance of targeted extension strategies that incorporate personalised interactions and group-based learning approaches to effectively promote agricultural innovation and sustainable farming practices. We recommend that the extension officers should frequently pay visits to the farmers and organise group meetings to improve the adoption of improved agronomic practices.

Abstract

Kemantan (Mangifera torquenda Kosterm) is a local fruit found in West Kalimantan which is rarely studied and is well known to many people. Kemantan is a genus with mango. Mango is one of the leading tropical fruits favored by people in the world. Mango is also famous for its content of multi vitamin, antioxidants, and many other nutritional content. Bay leaves (Eugenia polyantha) contain essential oils (citral, eugenol), tannins and flavonoids. Unfortunately, so far these two plants have only been consumed traditionally so they are boring and the rest is thrown away, therefore researchers want to use these plants to make fruit syrup. The research method was an experiment with a completely randomized design consisting of 1 treatment and 5 levels of bay leaf addition denoted by the letter (S). The materials used in this study for the manufacture of the product consisted of kemantan fruit, bay leaves, granulated sugar, CMC, and other. The steps: first, making bay leaf extract, second, making kemantan fruit syrup. Organoleptic test to provide an assessment of color, aroma, taste, texture, thickness, preference and overall with the rating format 5-1. Data analysis was carried out using the ANOVA method and the results were significantly different followed by the LSD test. The results showed that the best treatment for kemantan syrup products was S0 for color and aroma assessment. While the treatment for taste, thickness, texture, preference and overall assessment was S1. Kemantan syrup with the addition of bay leaves has a significant effect on texture parameters, very significant effect on color, taste, thickness, preference and overall and no significant effect on aroma

Abstract

A healthy lifestyle and illness prevention depend on adequate nutrition, and homestead food production, including home gardening, is one way to increase access and lower the cost of healthy foods. This study was carried out in Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State to assess the anthropometric indices and knowledge of home gardening of women. The sample size comprised of 170 respondents which were chosen using a multistage sampling technique. Data on sociodemographic, socioeconomic variables, and home gardening knowledge were obtained using an interviewer-administered, well-structured questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements were taken using standard procedures. The nutritional status was assessed using anthropometric measurements.  Version 20.0 of Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) was used to analyze the data. The findings were presented as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The threshold for statistical significance was set at p 0.05. The responders were 33.5 years old on average. The majority of respondents (85.3%) had at least a primary education.  It was found that 94.7% of the adult women had good knowledge of home gardening, 4.7% had average knowledge, and 0.6% had low knowledge. The nutritional status of the respondents showed that 24.1 percent were overweight, 10.6 percent were underweight, and 10.6 percent were obese. The home garden knowledge score and the anthropometric measurement (BMI) were shown to be significantly associated. The result of this study is an indication that women who are knowledgeable about gardening at home are more likely to have higher nutritional status.
