Hybrid materials that combine these properties hold promise for advanced photonic applications. Quantum tunability, the ability to control material properties at the quantum level, offers opportunities to enhance performance and functionality in these hybrid materials. This study aims to investigate the potential of quantum tunability in novel hybrid dielectric-ferroelectric-multiferroic materials for advanced photonic applications. The research seeks to understand how combining these materials at the quantum level can lead to new functionalities and improved performance in photonic devices. A comprehensive approach was used, combining experimental and theoretical techniques. Hybrid materials were synthesized using epitaxial growth and chemical vapor deposition. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and spectroscopy characterized their structural, electrical, and optical properties. Quantum mechanical simulations were conducted to understand the interactions at the atomic level and predict material behavior under various conditions. The study demonstrated that hybrid materials exhibit unique properties that are not present in individual components. Enhanced dielectric and ferroelectric responses and improved magnetic and optical characteristics were observed. Quantum simulations revealed strong coupling between different ferroic orders, leading to tunable properties suitable for photonic applications.

Abstract

Rice serves as a vital staple for 85% of Cambodian households, particularly those residing in rural areas. The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) has prioritized the export of milled rice as a strategic pillar for economic growth, poverty reduction, and improved living standards. However, the export of Cambodian rice faces several challenges, primarily related to meeting the stringent quality standards demanded by high-income markets and increasing competition from producers of fragrant rice. Furthermore, the review identifies obstacles within the governmental processes for rice export documentation, as well as issues impacting rice processing and trading. These challenges include limited government support, financial constraints, unreliable electricity supply, and elevated transportation and milling costs, which ultimately contribute to higher retail prices.

Abstract

Maize is a significant crop in Cambodia and is extensively grown in upland areas with higher rainfall and suitable soil conditions. The production of maize in Cambodia is being affected by the presence of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), which can significantly reduce productivity without proper control methods. Fall armyworm (FAW) is a crop insect pest originally from America, which was later discovered in West Africa in 2016 and appeared in Cambodia in March 2019. It affected 11,142 hectares of maize in four provinces within the following four months. The most affected are smallholder farmers with limited access to information, tools, technologies, and management practices to predict, identify, and manage an infestation of FAW in their fields. Cambodia is not yet prepared to address this pest. The main deficiencies are the absence of a control strategy for FAW, the lack of resources for disseminating knowledge, such as farmer field schools and trainer training, and the lack of research on it. This review aims to identify best practices and deficiencies that Cambodian farmers should consider in controlling FAW infestation. These measures are urgently needed and can be quickly tested and expanded to mitigate the impacts of FAW on maize production. This is accomplished through academic literature from scholarly articles, government regulations, international publications, and credible news about the status of FAW worldwide, in Asian nations, and in Cambodia. When using the push-pull method, the number of larvae per plant is reduced by 82.7% to 86.7%, along with a higher yield. In Cambodia, Metarhizium anisoliae is a fungal biopesticide that effectively controls FAW, while Bacillus thuringiensis and neem oil are not effective. Since the efficacy of biopesticide is longer-term and these products are difficult to access, Cambodian farmers prefer to use synthetic insecticides to suppress FAW. Emamectin benzoate, a chemical compound, is found to be popularly used by farmers in Cambodia for controlling FAW, and its efficacy has been proven to be highly effective. There is a significant concern about the resistance of this synthetic pesticide if farmers are not properly advised. Large-scale agro-advisories can play an essential role in minimizing the incidence of FAW and helping smallholder farmers take timely precautions to reduce potential crop loss. Integrated pest management is the best strategy for managing FAW.

Abstract

This article focuses on the practice of conservation agriculture, mainly on soil fertility, soil erosion reduction, soil erosion, and cover crop studies. The study highlights the need for additional support to encourage conservation agriculture adoption, particularly for small-scale farmers. Support measures should include financial assistance to cover initial costs and secure land tenure to promote long-term investments. Despite these advantages, several challenges hindered conservation agriculture adoption. Especially after eliminating tillage and banning herbicides, farmers faced challenges with weed management in the first two years. But conservation agriculture practices improved soil structure by eliminating tillage, which enhanced water retention and drainage, helping crops withstand extreme climate events such as the 2013 flash floods and the 2012 and 2014 droughts. Limited access to affordable conservation agriculture equipment, such as no-till planters, further complicates adoption. Since most farmers prefer to grow cassava, it is easy to grow, but it was too long, so it may take a long time for farmers to plant the next crop, so in this study we conducted a study with planting by adding or inter-kind of crop such as cover crop and peanuts in cassava that no-ridging to find out the benefits of peanuts and cover crop, peanuts acting as a secondary crop after cassava. For data collection research, data analysis methods were taken from the collection of biomass samples of crops that interacted in cassava and samples of yield, then evaluated and analyzed.

Abstract

Alternative Wetting and Drying (AWD), practiced by some in rice farming, is one approach where water use efficiency can be improved and gaseous emissions mitigated while productivity is maintained. However, it also involves intermittent irrigation, allowing the fields to dry out before re-irrigation, as opposed to continuous flooding. They discovered that it is possible to reduce water use by around 25–30% while increasing rice yields by improving root growth and tiller production. Researchers have also discovered that AWD offers significant environmental advantages, such as a 50% reduction in methane emissions. Even though AWD has good potential, smallholders face many challenges when implementing it. These issues stem from the stability of food yields, insufficient knowledge, and restricted access to available infrastructure or technology. Moreover, farmers are hesitant to switch from traditional methods due to concerns that it could be a high-risk activity and involve labor-intensive water management chores. In addition, AWD needs both dependable water delivery infrastructure and monitoring equipment that often do not exist in remote or resource-constrained regions. For the widespread adoption of AWD, we must implement capacity-building initiatives alongside policy backing and investments in irrigation infrastructure. We address the benefits and challenges of AWD for small farmers who want to explore sustainable rice farming.
