Abstract

Poverty is one of the major problems in Bidur Municipality, Nepal. The municipality has higher rate of poverty compared to the other municipalities. The municipality has been suffering from poor infrastructural facilities. Therefore, this study identifies the significant aspect of infrastructures which might affect poverty. Since the concept of poverty is broad and has been discussed from many perspectives, the per capita income was taken to identify poverty in this study. Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis were employed. Results showed that 30% of the people lived below the poverty line, which is higher than national urban poverty. Among the different infrastructural facilities, paved roads were found to be the most dominating factor that has an impact on the poverty in the Municipalities. However, other influencing factors such as vocational training and employment in non–agricultural sector were also significant in improving the poverty line of farmers in the municipality. Future research should be focused on studying the impact of paved road construction in other municipalities that may help to reduce poverty within the farmer’s community when more economic opportunities are created.

Abstract

A trial was conducted to study the physiological responses of baby corn to changes in soil fertility by application of organic and inorganic fertilizers.  The research was conducted at the Teaching Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Hasanuddin from May to August 2020. The experiment was arranged based on a factorial randomized block design (RBD) with two factors repeated 3 times. The first factor is the dosage of green compost consisted of four levels, namely 0, 3, 4, and 5 tons ha-1. The second factor was the percentage of NPK fertilization from the recommendations consisted of four levels, namely NPK 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%. The results show that the treatment of 4 ton ha-1 of green compost resulted in the highest absorption rate of CO2 (336.2 µmol CO2 mol-1) and the highest humidity level (68.8%). 100% NPK fertilizer treatment showed the highest CO2 absorption rate (338.1 µmol CO2 mol-1), the highest leaf photosynthesis rate (36.1 µmol CO2m-2s-1). The treatment of 5 ton ha-1 of green compost and 100% NPK fertilizer resulted in the lowest transpiration rate (0.20 liters m-2s-1). The treatment of 3 ton ha-1 green compost and 100% NPK fertilizer resulted in earlier flowering age (46.3 days) and heaviest ear weight (63.67 g). The treatment of 5 ton ha-1 green compost with 50% NPK fertilizer resulted in the longest ear length with husk (21.72 cm). Treatment of 4 ton ha-1 green compost with 100% NPK fertilization resulted in the longest ear length without husk (10.52 cm).

Abstract

At the time of the flowering season arrives, honey bee colonies will actively fill the nest with honey, pollen and puppies. Along with the honey gatherers are also actively seeking to take the honey bee hive. Honeycomb (Apis dorsata Binghami) which has a hanging nest in trees was often taken by humans in an unproductive ways causing many young bees and hive contents besides honey, often wasted for the next harvest. The purpose of this study was to determine the slicing method honeycomb Apis dorsata Binghami in nature, which can speed up the next process in honey harvesting cycle. The sample consisted of eight observations of bee hive of Apis dorsata Binghami with four treatments and two replicates. Treatment P1 was slicing across the honeycomb, whereas nP2 treatment was the slicing/take part contains the honey hive, and treatment P3 used slicing whole beehive and later taped the sliced nest. P4 treatment had the honey extracted from the honey productive parts and then taped back the ex- slices from the middle of the nest. The results showed that the fastest time of bee colonies Apis dorsata Binghami back to the original nest is P4 treatment for it only took 0.000439 days while P2 took 0.000590 days. On the other hand P1 and P3 treatments took more than 80 days. Extracting just the honey from its nest will accelerate the bee colony reoccupation of their nest, compared with the whole slicing of the beehive. The faster the bee colony occupied the nest will result in quicker repair activities of the hive. The honey will be filled much faster for the next harvest revisits.

Abstract

Doubled haploid plants are very important for the development of complete homozygous plants from heterozygous parents in one generation as they possess duplicate copy of haploid chromosome. Haploid production is easily obtained from in vitro anther culture. The present study was undertaken with the objective to develop doubled haploids using anthers for in vitro induction of callus on N6 medium supplemented with various combinations and concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) (0.5-2.5 mg/L), Kinetin (0.5-1.0 mg/L) and Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (2.0 mg/L) as callus induction medium (CIM). The highest callus induction frequency was obtained when N6 medium fortified with 2,4-D (2.5 mg/L), Kinetin (0.5 mg/L) and NAA (2 mg/L) of 10.07 per cent. The induced callus was sub cultured for shoot regeneration on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) supplemented with growth regulators: Kinetin and NAA (0.5 mg/L each) in combination with BAP (0.0 - 2.5 mg/L). MS medium supplemented with NAA (0.5 mg/L), Kinetin (0.5 mg/L) and BAP (1.5 mg/L) was most responsive exhibiting regeneration frequency of 28.1 per cent which resulted in maximum regeneration of green plantlets and only 5.21 per cent of albinos. Individual plantlets were separated and immersed in liquid MS medium augmented with NAA (0.5-1.0 mg/L) and BAP (0.5-1.0 mg/L). Maximum rooting was observed in MS medium with NAA (0.5 mg/L) and BAP (1.0 mg/L). The survival rate of in-vitro raised plants was 51.51 per cent. Of these surviving plants, 21 plants were observed to have the sterility percentage above 50 percent and hence can be considered as the doubled haploid plants. Plant DH8 is susceptible and DH20 is heterozygous for gene Xa21. Two plants are susceptible for gene xa13

Abstract

The research objectives are (1) examining food diversification and household food security levels in the Women-Farmers Group (KWT) in rural areas and (2) analyzing the existing empowerment model of KWT and developing an alternative model of KWT based on potency. The research was conducted in Bulukumba and North Luwu Regencies, South Sulawesi, Indonesia by taking unit of analysis at household of KWT level. The findings of the research include: diversification of household food consumption in KWT in both districts is still a relatively “less diverse”; except for vegetable consumption can be said to be “quite diverse”. This is caused by the diversification program through P2KP movement and yard use activities. Generally, food diversification scores obtained KWT classified as “food insecure” (mean score = 4). The needs potential based of KWT include: an increase in group training programs; economic enterprises development and understanding on food diversification. The alternative models of KWT based on potency, needs and experiences of KWT members include (1) model of institutional support (assistance, facilities, promotion and learning process) and (2) model of human resources capacity of group members include: appropriate training and development of leadership potency to increase capability in recognizing and solving problems of food diversification and understanding on nutrition and food.

Abstract

Field experiment was carried out at the Research Farm of Korea University, Republic of Korea to study effects of sulfur (S) fertilization on growth traits, yield and yield components of three Korean soybean varieties (Poongsunnamulkong, Saedanbaekkong and Daewonkong). Seeds were sown on black polythene mulched soil bed at the spacing of 15 X 60 cm both at control and sulfur fertilized (gypsum with 16% sulfur content at the rate of 200kg ha-1) plots following a Randomized Complete Block Design of the experiment applying three doses of sulfur together at the time of seed sowing and two doses together at V4 vegetative growth stage (4 nodes on the main stem beginning with the unifoliate node). The results showed that sulfur fertilization significantly increased all studied growth traits of three Soybean varieties except plant height when they all reached physiological maturity stage (120 DAS). It was also evident that sulfur fertilization in the form of gypsum can also increase the number and weight of soybean root nodules and enhance the ability of nitrogen fixation, and so reduce the input of nitrogen fertilizer. Similarly, all the studied yield and yield component related parameters were also significantly influenced by sulfur fertilization except seed number per pod and 100 seed weight. Varieties and sulfur fertilization also interacted significantly in all studied growth traits but the notable sole interaction effect was in plant height. Leaf area of Poongsunnamulkong and Saedanbaekkong variety increased significantly with sulfur fertilization while it was decreased significantly for Daewonkong. Similar trend was observed in their production of number of pods per plant and grain yield per plant indicating leaf area increment by sulfur fertilization played an important role in increasing yield of Poongsunnamulkong and Saedanbaekkong varieties though their performance was reverse in other growth traits. The improvement in growth and yield attributes after sulfur fertilization led to higher biological yield and enhanced seed yield.

Abstract

This article reviews the studies about the alternative food network development in China, summarizes the results and identifies the issues for further research. It first introduces different theoretical perspectives in alternative food network studies in China, including community supported agriculture, nested market, short food supply chains and producerconsumer connection. The causes of rising alternative food networks are the serious food safety problem, the un-balanced power between different actors in the mainstream agrofood system and the increasing number of middle income citizens. Its development close relates to the changes in the international agro-food system. And the government dominates the establishment of the certification system and give limited support to the emerging food networks. The consumers and majority of producers are social elites, and the small scale farmers participate in the networks under the support of intermediaries. Further studies can pay more attention to following issues: the landscape of alternative food networks development in China, the value construction processes between different actors, the role of companies in alternative food network construction and introducing technical perspective of ecological agriculture into research.

Abstract

This research discusses two problems, namely the construction performance of agricultural and fisheries development and (2) their impact on community. The research employed qualitative research. The results showed that attainment of agricultural performance in the last five years, gave a quite significant impact on community. Along with the extensive development of the harvest and production, especially for commodity corn, growing on average per year (2012-2016) of 54.8% reached 548,220 tons each year. Agricultural performance has given the economic impact to farmers, with contribution of agricultural sector in gross regional product of Gorontalo Province (30.35% per annum). For the fisheries sector, the fisheries development is shown by the last of five years (2012- 2016), both capture fisheries or fishing areas, the average growing 59,228.6 tons per year. The performance of this economic impact on fishing communities, demonstrated by the contribution of fisheries to GDP of the Province (2012-2016) of 20.06% per year, and per capita income grew an average of Rp 12.51% per year. The second performance of the program impact was significant for society, particularly in the field of education, which is shown by the development of the school's participation numbers, the rate of literacy, and the use of education facilities of community expenditure above 95%.

Abstract

Lipa' Saqbe Mandar (or just called Lipa' saqbe) is an unique culture of Mandar ethnic, it is still preserved today, because the Mandar people wear Lipa' Saqbe at every event held both in traditional ceremonies of Mandar culture like weddings or grief moments. Lipa' Saqbe weavers are the majority of mandarist fishermen and the wives of the peasants who in the concept of indigenous culture mandar adheres to the principle of Siwali Parriq which means the wives of Mandar descendants are able to work to help the family economy, one of them by weaving. This paper attempst to calculate weavers household who are living below poverty line and how severe they are? The study employed Foster- Greer-Torbecke (FGT) Indices Method: Head Count Index (HCI) and Poverty Gap Index (PGI). The results show that: (1) HCI of the study is 0.7333 indicate that 70.33% of Lipa' Saqbe weaver is living below poverty line, while (2) PGI reveals that the depth of poverty in weaver household is, however, close to zero (0) indicating that no poverty severity gap among households. The low income of Mandar silk weavers is the marketing system through traders or distributors. Although most of the weavers sell their woven products directly to the local market, the purchasing power of local communities is quite low so that their woven products are sold to wholesalers or distributors.

Abstract

Several problems deal with Canavalia ensiformis cultivations. They are the low-price competitiveness, the absence of processing industries and appropriate agricultural technology controlled by the farmers, the absence of fostering of farmers, especially in terms of marketing and postharvest processing.Therefore, the study explore how the role and function of coordination in institutions is needed as a solution for developing Canavalia ensiformis cultivation? The research was conducted from March to August 2019, using the survey method. Data collection is done through an expert system / or practitioner approach. The data obtained were analyzed using the Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) method. The results show that the existing institutions have not understood their roles and functions in the development of Canavalia ensiformis cultivation. This is an indication of the weak coordination function. The weak function of coordination is a result of weak understanding of the visions, low institutional knowledge and conflict between institutions. The results of the ISM analysis show that there are two key strategic programs in developing the commodity of Canavalia ensiformis, namely human resource and marketing development. These two sub-elements are institutional indicators. Therefore strengthening institutional functions is still needed in the development of Canavalia ensiformis cultivation.
