Abstract

Background: The study of air-soil coupling is crucial for agricultural lands such as Tarnab since it provides valuable insights into microbial dynamics, soil ventilation, and the biogeochemical cycle. In addition to this, the floods of 2010 (which also affected the Tarnab) add more value to this work. Governing the air-soil coupling is mandatory for providing the vital oxygen for the roots. Aim: In this research, the regression equations linking the seasonal daily average air temperature and seasonal daily average soil temperature have been established for Tarnab. Methods: The data of daily maximum/minimum air temperature and soil temperatures (8 am/5 pm), which have been regularly recorded at the Agriculture Research Institute Tarnab from 1996 to 2023, have been used to find the regression. Results: The average maximum temperature correlates strongly with 5 pm soil temperature in MAM (R2=0.4453] and DJF (R2=0.4995) with 26.75(95% CI: 23.04, 30.77) and 14.28(95% CI: 7.30, 18.83) confidence intervals, respectively and n=28. The R2 for the SON is fairly strong for the relationship between maximum temperature and 5 pm soil temperature, as well as minimum temperature and soil temperature at 8 am, with values 0.1748 {25.96[95% CI: 20.83, 29.43]} and 0.2872 {19.11[95% CI: 14.78, 22.18]}, respectively. Conclusion: Air temperature has shown an influence on soil temperature, besides some irregular behaviour.

Abstract

Background: The agricultural sector faces several challenges, including low productivity, high production costs, and unsupportive policies, which hinder the sector's full potential. This article examines the roles of technology, government policy, and institutions in promoting agricultural development, based on a literature review of the book Economics of Development by Perkins et al. (2013). Aim: This study aims to elucidate the importance of agricultural sector growth and modernization. Methods: This review employs the Literature Review method, drawing upon various scholarly sources related to Agricultural Development and other relevant literature to serve as references and comparative material for the discussion. Results: The review finds that technological innovation and institutional capacity consistently emerge as the most decisive mechanisms for agricultural modernization, while policy effectiveness shows mixed evidence across different contexts. Although there is broad agreement that agricultural growth strongly contributes to poverty reduction, divergence remains regarding the extent to which trade liberalization benefits smallholder farmers. Conclusion: Therefore, an integrated policy approach, the use of appropriate technologies, and the strengthening of institutional frameworks are essential strategies to maximize the agricultural sector’s contribution to economic development and poverty alleviation.

Abstract

Background: Stingless bee honey presents a high-value niche within sustainable agrifood systems, yet small-scale agripreneurs face structural constraints in marketing, certification, and digital engagement that impede inclusive competitiveness. Aim: This study formulates sustainable marketing strategies to empower stingless bee honey agripreneurs in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, thereby enhancing market access, firm-level resilience, and socio-ecological sustainability. Methods: Employing a convergent mixed-methods design, primary data were collected between July and September 2025 through 27 semi-structured interviews, three focus group discussions (FGDs), direct observation, and structured questionnaires involving 65 agripreneurs, eight cooperative leaders, and six local government or institutional stakeholders. Participants were selected using a purposive sampling strategy to ensure representation across enterprise scales and cooperative membership. Internal and external determinants were assessed using IFE and EFE matrices; results were integrated via IE and SWOT frameworks to derive strategy clusters. Results: The IFE (score = 2.86) and EFE (score = 2.93) positions indicate a “Growth and Build” strategic posture. Four strategy clusters emerged: SO (eco-branding, certification, tourism linkages, e-commerce expansion), WO (digital literacy, quality assurance, managerial capacity building, inclusive finance), ST (value-chain diversification, R&D partnerships, sustainability differentiation, cooperative logistics), and WT (community microfinance, joint marketing, insurance/risk-sharing, partnership models). Triangulation of qualitative and quantitative findings strengthens the validity of these strategic priorities. Conclusion: Integrating sustainability principles with digital marketing and cooperative governance offers a viable pathway for transforming stingless bee honey firms into resilient, inclusive agribusinesses. Policy and institutional support that bolsters access to certification, digital capacity, and cooperative finance are pivotal in translating ecological strengths into competitive market outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Entisol soil in the coastal area of ​​Bengkulu has low fertility with limited organic matter and nutrient contents, so it requires soil amendments to increase plant productivity. Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of rice husk biochar on improving soil chemical properties and increasing sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata) yield. Methods: The experiment was conducted on a polybag scale (10 kg of soil per polybag) using a Completely Randomised Design (CRD) with four doses of rice husk biochar (0, 5, 10, and 15 t/ha), with each treatment repeated six times. Biochar was produced through indirect pyrolysis at a temperature of approximately 400 °C, incubated for four weeks, and applied to the soil at 50% of the recommended fertilizer dose. Results: The analysis results showed that the application of rice husk biochar had a significant effect (p < 0.05) on increasing soil pH, organic carbon (C), total nitrogen (N), and cation exchange capacity (CEC). A dose of 10 t/ha increased soil pH from 6.01 to 6.61, organic C from 2.09% to 2.81%, total N from 0.11% to 0.17%, and CEC from 4.98 to 5.64 cmol(+)/kg, significantly higher than the control (p < 0.05). This increase in fertility directly impacted the growth and yield of sweet corn, with cob weight reaching 437.5 g, significantly greater than the control at p < 0.05, but not significantly different from the dose of 15 t/ha. Conclusion: Thus, rice husk biochar at a dose of 10 t/ha effectively improves Entisol soil quality and increases sweet corn yields, and has the potential to be applied as a sustainable agricultural innovation in tropical marginal lands.

Abstract

Background: Green mussel shell waste (GMS) is a nutrient source that can be applied to celery plants. This study aimed to assess the potential of green mussel shell waste as a natural ameliorant that can improve soil fertility and support celery growth and production. Methods: The study was conducted from January to April 2022 at the experimental garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, Muhammadiyah University of Jakarta. The study used a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five treatments: inorganic fertilizer (control), GMS waste 4 g/plant, GMS waste 8 g/plant, GMS waste 12 g/plant, and GMS waste 16 g/plant .  Results: The results showed that the use of GMS waste increased soil pH from acidic (6,13)  to neutral (6.63-7.33), particularly at doses of 12 g and 16 g per plant. Despite this, inorganic fertilizers provide the best results in terms of plant growth, particularly in terms of plant height, number of leaf stalks, and fruit weight.  Conclusion: GMS waste shows potential as an alternative fertilizer, but its effectiveness in supporting celery plant growth is still limited, due to its incomplete nutrient content and slower nutrient release compared to inorganic fertilizers.

Abstract

Background: Sustainable agriculture increasingly emphasizes the use of organic fertilizers to improve soil fertility and reduce environmental impact. Cow manure is widely recognized as a potential organic amendment for enhancing crop productivity. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different doses of cow manure on the growth and yield of purple eggplant (Solanum melongena L.). Methods: A Randomized Complete Block Design was applied with five treatments of cow manure (0, 50, 75, 100, and 125 g/polybag) and five replications. Observed parameters included plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, flowering age, and yield components such as number of fruits, fruit length, fruit diameter, weight per fruit, and total fruit weight per plant. Results: The application of cow manure did not significantly affect most vegetative growth parameters. However, a dose of 100 g/polybag accelerated flowering time. Yield components such as fruit number, size, and individual fruit weight were not significantly influenced. In contrast, total fruit weight per plant showed significant differences, with the 50 g and 100 g/polybag treatments producing the highest yields (411.07 g and 409.18 g, respectively). Conclusion: Cow manure application at moderate doses (50–100 g/polybag) improves eggplant yield without significantly affecting vegetative growth. This finding supports the use of organic fertilizers as a sustainable alternative in eggplant cultivation.

Abstract

Background: Landslides are among the most destructive natural hazards in the hilly regions of Kerala, causing severe environmental and socio-economic damage. Nilambur Taluk in Malappuram District, located along the Western Ghats, has experienced frequent landslide events, particularly during the extreme rainfall events of August 2018 and 2019. Aim: This study aims to delineate landslide hazard zones in Nilambur Taluk using a GIS-based weighted overlay approach to support risk reduction and spatial planning. Methods: A landslide hazard zonation (LHZ) map was developed using an inverse ranking-based weighted overlay method. Multiple thematic layers—including slope, rainfall distribution, lineament density, drainage density, slope aspect, geology, land use/land cover (LULC), NDVI, elevation, distance from drainage, distance from road networks, and soil—were derived from Survey of India (SoI) toposheets and 2019 Landsat imagery. These layers were integrated within a GIS environment (ArcGIS 10.1). Each parameter was assigned a relative weight based on its contribution to landslide susceptibility, while classes within each layer were ranked on a scale of 0–5. Conclusion: The resulting LHZ map classifies the study area into five hazard categories: stable (5.8%), moderately stable (32.3%), moderately unstable (39%), highly unstable (22%), and critical (0.92%). Validation through field observations and geospatial analysis confirms that high and critical hazard zones are strongly associated with intense rainfall, steep slopes, high lineament density, and active erosional processes. The generated hazard zonation map serves as an effective tool for landslide risk mitigation, informed land-use planning, and sustainable geo-environmental management in Nilambur Taluk.

Abstract

Background: Land degradation threatens crop productivity, particularly in savanna ecosystems where soils are inherently low in organic matter content and nutrient availability. Aim: This study evaluated the synergistic (integrated) effects of zeolite and organic amendments on selected soil chemical and physical properties of degraded Alfisols. Methods: A screen-house experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with ten treatments replicated three times. Four organic amendments: cow dung (CD), poultry litter (PL), biochar (BC), compost (CM), were applied at 5 t ha-1 and a control (CO), these treatments were used alone and in combination with zeolite applied at 5 g kg-1 of degraded soil.  In all treatments crops were augmented with the recommended NPK rate of sweet corn (Zea mays L. saccharata) as the test crop. Soil chemical and physical analyses were conducted using standard procedures after harvest. Results: Organic amendments significantly improved soil properties, with the overall performance following CM>PL>CD>BC>CO. Compost increased soil pH, organic carbon (OC), effective cation exchange capacity content (ECEC), saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), and plant available water content (PAWC).  Total nitrogen (TN) content increased in the order PL>CM>CD>BC>CO. Zeolite conditioning further enhanced TN, ECEC, Ksat, and PAWC by 30.95%, 9.74%,13.09%, and 13.48% respectively while bulk density (BD) decreased by 3.40% compared to no zeolite-conditioned treatments. Conclusion: Overall, compost was the most effective organic amendment, and the integrated use of zeolite with organic amendments provide a practical, restorative strategy for improving nutrient retention and water availability for sustainable sweet corn production on degraded soils.

Abstract

Background: Rice blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae leads to annual yield losses of 10–30%, exacerbated by fungicide resistance and environmental toxicity of synthetic chemicals. Phenylpropanoids have shown potential as eco-friendly antifungal agents, yet systematic molecular screening against key pathogenic targets remains limited. Aim: This study aimed to identify potential phenylpropanoid-based antifungal compounds targeting Isocitrate Lyase (ICL1) and MoErs1 proteins of M. oryzae through an in silico approach. Methods: A total of 317 phenylpropanoid-derived ligands were screened using molecular docking against ICL1 (PDB ID: 5e9f) and MoErs1 (PDB ID: 7vs2). Docking simulations were conducted using AutoDock Vina, followed by interaction analysis using LigPlot+ and PLIP to evaluate binding affinity and interaction patterns. Results: Six compounds, Vitisin A, Miyabenol A, Viniferol D, Suffruticosol A, Suffruticosol B, and Isohopeaphenol, demonstrated superior binding affinity (up to −11.57 kcal/mol) compared to commercial fungicides Edifenphos and Tricyclazole. These ligands formed stable complexes through hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and π-stacking with key active-site residues of both target proteins. Conclusion: These findings suggest that selected phenylpropanoids have strong potential as multi-target antifungal agents against M. oryzae. This study provides a structural foundation for developing environmentally friendly biofungicides and contributes to sustainable crop protection strategies, although further experimental validation is required.
