Abstract

The article presents the results of experiments conducted in the Karshi district of the Kashkadarya region to improve the reclamation condition of moderately saline soils, enhance the efficiency of irrigated land use, and achieve higher crop yields. Considering the region’s water scarcity, a water-saving “Chemical” method was employed to improve the reclamation state of saline soils. To ensure the leaching of salts to lower soil layers, irrigation rates exceeding the standard by 25% and 50% under water scarcity conditions were applied, and these methods were compared with traditional approaches to study the soil’s water-salt regime. The chemical ameliorant SPERSAL, recommended by the Swiss company “Sibo-Novartis,” was used as a soil amendment at a rate of 5 kg/ha. When applied to the soil before irrigation or mixed with irrigation water, SPERSAL induces an ion exchange reaction in the soil adsorption complex, displacing sodium cations with calcium and magnesium cations. Salts such as sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, and sodium bicarbonate formed in the plant root zone dissolve in irrigation water and leach into lower soil layers. Key parameters studied include soil water absorption, field capacity, capillary rise height of soil moisture, the amount of water-soluble salts in irrigation, drainage, and groundwater, as well as soil moisture dynamics. Calculations for the water required for leaching and irrigation of saline soils, along with the economic efficiency of the applied variants based on cotton yields, were determined according to the “Methods of Conducting Field Experiments” (Tashkent, 2007) guidelines.

Abstract

Goat farming has a lot of promise in the highland area of Limapuluh Kota Regency in West Sumatra. However, ecological pressure may result from goat population development that is not balanced with land suitability assessments. Goats’ ecological land suitability will be examined in this study using biophysical, socioeconomic, and environmental carrying capacity metrics. The research methodology include field surveys, local farmer participation, and geographic analysis utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The findings indicated that 91.7% of the district of Limapuluh Kota is suitable for goat rearing. Because of the land elevation over 1,500 meters above sea level and the excessive rainfall exceeding 2,500 mm, 8.3% of the area is categorized as not suitable (N). According to the study’s findings, the growth of goat farming in Limapuluh Kota District must take ecological zoning into account, giving precedence to land areas that are appropriate for intense development and the use of silvopastura systems. These results offer a solid foundation for planning cattle sustainably in tropical highlands.

Abstract

Cotton processing plays a pivotal role in Uzbekistan’s agricultural-industrial integration, with technological advancements becoming increasingly vital for maintaining fiber quality. The ginning process, a key operation in cotton processing, often suffers efficiency losses due to moisture-induced fiber damage and mechanical wear of saw drums, particularly during autumn when cotton arrives with high humidity. Traditional ginning machines lack mechanisms to prevent raw roll formation, leading to fiber degradation and frequent downtime, with insufficient research focused on eliminating this core issue without compromising productivity. This study aims to develop an engineering solution that enhances the ginning process by addressing moisture-related challenges and mechanical limitations through a newly designed device. The proposed device eliminates the formation of raw rolls, increases fiber separation efficiency by over 30%, and extends the life span of saw drums by threefold. Additionally, it reduces downtime and energy consumption while improving fiber grade, ultimately increasing profitability. Unlike conventional ginning systems, the device integrates an optimized working chamber structure and innovative fiber cleaning mechanisms such as a drum grate with checkerboard-patterned needle heights, enhancing impurity removal without fiber loss. These innovations provide practical, cost-effective upgrades suitable for Uzbekistan’s cotton enterprises, aligning scientific research with industrial needs and promoting sustainable productivity gains. The study reinforces the value of industry-academia collaboration in generating adaptive technologies for context-specific agricultural challenges.

Abstract

Stunting in children under five remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in West Sumatra, where prevalence rates exceed the national average. Addressing this challenge requires improving nutritional intake, focusing on essential micronutrients like zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe). Biofortification is a promising agricultural strategy to enhance the nutritional quality of staple crops such as rice. This study aims to explore and evaluate the Zn and Fe content of local rice genotypes from West Sumatra, which hold potential for biofortification programs.Twenty-eight rice genotypes, including 27 local genotypes and one control (Inpari Nutri Zinc), were analyzed for Zn and Fe content. The results showed that the control variety, Inpari Nutri Zinc, exhibited the highest Zn (31.30 ppm) and Fe (19.85 ppm) content. Among the local genotypes, Puluik Mutia (Zn: 28.40 ppm, Fe: 18.30 ppm), Kuning Aro (Zn: 27.60 ppm, Fe: 18.20 ppm), and Rampai Kuning (Zn: 26.20 ppm, Fe: 18.05 ppm) displayed the highest Zn levels, while Manggung (Fe: 18.85 ppm) had the highest Fe content. These findings highlight the significant variability in micronutrient content among local genotypes, emphasizing their potential as germplasm for biofortification breeding programs.This research represents the first systematic exploration of Zn and Fe levels in local rice genotypes from West Sumatra. The novelty lies in identifying high-Zn and Fe genotypes, particularly those with firm texture preferences, which could support biofortification efforts and provide a sustainable solution to combat stunting. Future research should focus on environmental interactions and agronomic practices to further optimize the micronutrient content in local rice varieties

Abstract

Enhancing wheat productivity and grain quality is a strategic agricultural goal, particularly under conditions of increasing population pressure, soil degradation, and climate variability. Winter soft wheat varieties, especially during the reproductive development phase, require additional nutrient inputs beyond what root systems can supply. Foliar application of nutrients like urea during the full heading (earing) phase has emerged as a cost-effective agronomic solution. Although foliar feeding is acknowledged for its efficiency, there remains a lack of consensus on the optimal application rates, particularly under irrigated conditions and across different wheat varieties.This study aimed to assess the effect of foliar-applied urea at different rates on the 1000-grain weight of Yaksart and Gazgan winter wheat varieties. Field experiments conducted from 2015 to 2017 revealed that a 40 kg/ha urea solution applied through foliar feeding during the full heading phase resulted in the highest increase in 1000-grain weight—up to 2.8 g in Yaksart and 2.7 g in Gazgan—compared to control groups. Lower or higher dosages (30 and 50 kg/ha) were comparatively less effective. The findings identify a precise and optimal rate of urea application for enhancing grain weight during a critical growth phase, based on multi-year, replicated trials under local agro-climatic conditions. This study provides actionable recommendations for wheat farmers to improve grain yield quality via targeted foliar nutrition. Future research may explore the physiological mechanisms involved and test scalability under diverse soil types and climatic zones.
