Abstract

This research seeks to answer these questions, what are the attitudes of rice farmers in the field of organic farming and what factors influence their attitudes. The statistical population consisted of 500 rice farmers from three mainly rice-growing villages of Langrod county, Gilan province, and the sample size was 211. To select this sample size, simple random sampling was used. The data was collected through a questionnaire. Its face validity was based on a survey of expert opinions. To determine the reliability of the measurement tool, face-to-face interviews were conducted with a sample of 30 people outside of the main sample, and the calculated Cronbach's alpha coefficients confirmed the research tool. Descriptive statistics, correlation tests, and factor analysis were used in SPSS 22 software to analyze the data. Deviation distance from the mean method was used to group the attitudes of rice farmers. The results showed that 18% of the respondents have a negative attitude towards organic agriculture, about 70% have a somewhat positive attitude, and about 12% have a completely positive attitude, and the attitude of the surveyed farmers is influenced by the factors of caring for nature and preserving the soil fertility, the quality and quantity of agricultural products, the value and importance of rural landscapes, traditionalism, the desire to preserve past customs and traditions, and the impact of personal experiences which account for 19.60, 11.44, 9.25, 9.06 and 8.98 percent of the explained variance, respectively.

Abstract

Asia is marked by high biodiversity. At the same time, it suffers from serious multi-factor threats to such biodiversity. Forest ecosystems and their species are threatened due to large-scale land conversion to plantations of agriculture. Land conversion to grasslands due to livestock activities leads to habitat destruction and loss of biodiversity. In addition, global warming is linked to the expansion of pest infestations, resulting in increased application of pesticides that negatively impacts biodiversity. Climate change also facilitates the dissemination of vector-borne disease, further endangering wildlife and human health. Besides, climate change has accelerated biodiversity loss in Asia through alteration of ecosystems, coral bleaching, and melting of Himalayan glaciers threatening freshwater ecosystems. Increased temperature and extreme weather conditions pose a great threat to species survival. Although the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) do emphasize the need for biodiversity conservation, this has been outlined in Goal 15, Life on Land, and Goal 14, Life Below Water. In tackling these goals, Asia has a Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and Global Biodiversity Framework; in core protection ecosystems ensure sustainable development. Much more could be done in reversing, if not definitely halting, this ongoing loss in this region. In conclusion, agriculture, livestock, and climate change pose immense challenges to the biodiversity of Asia, which acts as a barrier to achieving sustainable development goals. Such challenges require enhanced conservation efforts and the adoption of sustainable practices in different sectors.

Abstract

The mass of Trichogramma wasp larvae, recognized as a vital agent for pest biocontrol in Iran, is produced primarily in the form of Trichocards. These bacteria are utilized for the biocontrol of key and significant pests, such as rice stem borers, corn stem borers, apple worms, and pomegranate fruit worms. However, the application of this formulation presents several drawbacks, including the difficulty of installing cards across fields and orchards, the destruction of larvae by predatory insects, and the sensitivity of larvae to dryness and high temperatures, which can impair the effectiveness of the method. Alternative formulations such as capsules, balls, and liquids have been introduced in various countries to address these application issues. These alternatives offer advantages such as increased durability of larvae under adverse conditions, increased lifespan and efficiency of wasps, reduced production costs, faster operational speed, and greater willingness among farmers and orchardists to adopt biological methods. Given that the method of supplying Trichogramma larvae has remained unchanged in its production stages over the past 30 years in Iran, a continuous dynamic growth trend in the application of Trichogramma wasps will undoubtedly require a reassessment of various supply stages and an improvement in the production process.

Abstract

The increasing global demand for food has driven the development of environmentally friendly technologies in agriculture, one of which involves the use of nitrogen-fixing bacteria-based biofertilizers. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two nitrogen-fixing bacterial species, Azotobacter chroococcum and Beijerinckia indica, in enhancing the growth of red spinach (Alternanthera ficoidea) in acidic soil conditions. The results revealed that treatments with various concentrations of bacterial inoculants did not have a statistically significant effect on plant height, based on a two-way ANOVA test (α > 0.05). However, descriptively, B. indica demonstrated more optimal performance compared to A. chroococcum and their combination, particularly at a concentration of 15 mL, which produced the highest plant height (31.00 cm). B. indica exhibited better survival and functionality in acidic soil (pH 4–4.5), whereas A. chroococcum was less efficient under such conditions. These findings underscore the importance of selecting bacterial strains that are compatible with specific soil characteristics to enhance the efficacy of biofertilizers and support the growth of ornamental plants such as A. ficoidea.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas metode spin column dalam isolasi DNA dari jaringan daging ikan Salmon (Oncorhynchus masou), Tuna (Thunnus obesus), dan Tongkol (Euthynnus affinis), tiga spesies bernilai ekonomi tinggi di sektor perikanan Indonesia. Isolasi DNA dilakukan menggunakan metode spin column dengan kit Tianamp, melalui tahapan lisis jaringan daging ikan, presipitasi DNA, pencucian kontaminan, dan elusi akhir, kemudian dianalisis kuantitas dan kemurniannya menggunakan spektrofotometri pada panjang gelombang 260/280 nm. Hasil menunjukkan konsentrasi DNA berkisar 50.8–183.3 ng/μL (rata-rata 109.3 ng/μL), namun kemurnian DNA (A260/A280) berada pada kisaran 1.19–1.83 (rata-rata 1.46), mengindikasikan kontaminasi protein/RNA. Ikan Salmon menunjukkan kemurnian tertinggi (1.83), sedangkan Tongkol memiliki konsentrasi tertinggi (183.3 ng/μL) tetapi kemurnian terendah (1.19). Diduga faktor pemanasan dan inhibitor sebagai penyebab rendahnya kemurnian DNA pada penelitian ini. Rekomendasi optimasi meliputi modifikasi suhu inkubasi, penggunaan fenol-kloroform, dan pengelolaan pasca-panen. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi dalam pengembangan teknik isolasi DNA untuk aplikasi biologi molekuler dan industri perikanan.

Abstract

This review analyzes different aspects of agriculture, food systems, and sustainable development in Asia, a geographically variable, economically booming, and ecologically very diverse continent. The review considers progress as well as regional systems regarding sustainable development, organic crop, and livestock farming systems along with cropping. It also addresses the consequences of climate change on fish and aquaculture, the control of soil and carbon sequestration, and the effects on the availability of food. Further, the review discusses microbial science in supporting the development of sustainable and resilient food systems, food diversity and quality, while also critically examining the challenges and gains of implementing sustainable agriculture. Asian countries are confronting important development challenges and need to move toward sustainable and resilient food systems immediately. While significant progress has been achieved in reducing poverty, ensuring food security, and modernizing agricultural, numerous challenges still remain, including the impacts of climate change, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, and malnutrition. The prevailing production-focused models of input intensification as well as linear resource use cannot adequately address these interlinked challenges. Sustainable agriculture and food systems in Asia can be achieved through a multi-dimensional strategy. This would include developing and instituting policy systems that make green and inclusive practice more effective, prioritizing the benefits to the smallholder farmer. Technology and social innovation, such as upscaling climate-smart agriculture, digitalization, and knowledge-sharing mechanisms, are essential for enhancing productivity and resilience. Promoting regional and global cooperation through cross-border association, emergency funds, and knowledge transfer mechanisms is essential in order to mitigate shocks and stimulate development. Also essential are strategic public and private investments to modernize infrastructure, support research programs, and grant vulnerable populations autonomy. Ultimately, an overall approach that fosters cooperation between governments and people is essential for propelling sustainable food and agriculture systems towards a more resilient world.
