Abstract

Colored rice receives more attention from consumers because of its high phytochemicals and antioxidant activity beneficial to health. The aims of this investigation were to quantify the important phytochemicals and antioxidant activity in three varieties of colored rice for production of parboiled rice and to determine the effects of harvest time on phytochemicals and antioxidant activity in parboiled rice. Three colored rice varieties were planted in a split plot design with four replications. Main-plot was three rice varieties and sub-plot consisted four harvesting dates including 15, 20, 25 and 30 days after anthesis (DAA). Sangyod had the highest total phenolic content (77.34 mg GAE/100g), and harvest at 15 DAA provided the highest phenolic content (63.53 and 109.47 mg GAE/100g in brown and parboiled rice). Riceberry had the highest anthocyanin (65.91 mg/g seed), and harvest at immature stages gave the highest anthocyanin content. Riceberry also had the highest GABA content and harvest at 15 DAA had the highest GABA content. Harvest at 15 DAA had the highest antioxidant activities. Parboiling increased total phenolic content in Riceberry and Tubtin Chumphae and it increased GABA content in all rice varieties, but it reduced anthocyanin content.

Abstract

The cultivation of konjac plants (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume) is mainly initiated by the accumulation of glucomannan in their tuber. Many studies of konjac plants are limited until konjac tubers are suitable for harvest, not extended to the flowering stage. This study focused on tubers' development in the flower bud formation phase until seed development. The results of this study show that only one flower grows from each tuber. It takes 40+2 days for the konjac flower to bloom fully but 3+1 days for the flower to wither. The weight, diameter, and thickness of the konjac tubers used as planting material were 0.342+0.014 kg, 8.23+0.26 cm, and 5.75+0.17 cm, respectively, and significantly grew to 2.70+0.156 kg, 19.96+0.560 cm, and 12.73+0.335 cm, respectively at the time of harvest. Konjac plants promote thick lateral roots at the base of the petiole and fibrous roots on the tuber skin. During the enlargement of the tubers, the thickness and diameter ratio did not change. The cross-sectional shape of petioles and spadix is slightly oval. The number of seeds per plant correlated with the female flower's length, diameter, and cylindrical area. Finally, tubers decompose, and a new one or more starts to grow.

Abstract

The harmful effects of chemical herbicides on the environment and human health have increased interest in natural bioherbicides. This study analyzed global trends in bioherbicide research for controlling weeds from 2002 to 2022 using bibliometric analysis. The bibliometric analysis presented the research trend based on relevant research topics, an annual publication for 20 years, the co-occurrence of countries and institutions, productive journals, and frequent keywords used. The Scopus database resulted in 1472 articles analyzed using bibliometric tools, R-4.2.2 software with Bibliometrix-Biblioshiny, and VOSviewer 1.6.19. The number of publications on bioherbicides increased since 2002, with a sharp increase in the last two years. China was the most productive country, followed by the United States, Brazil, and Pakistan. The University of Agriculture in Pakistan and Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in China were the most productive academic institutions. The most frequent keywords were "allelopathy," "bioherbicide," and "weed control." The co-occurrence analysis indicated that the United States collaborated the most with other countries. The findings suggest that bioherbicides with allelopathy as weed control have the potential to be an effective alternative to chemical herbicides. Besides, it provides insight for better-collaborated publication and potential networking in the future.

Abstract

The growth and development of rice crops can be adversely affected by several stresses, including salinity. This study aimed to determine the performance of rice genotypes composed of advanced lines from interspecific and intraspecific crosses between Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica x O. rufipogon G, grown in saline conditions achieved by NaCl applications in the irrigation water (electrical conductivity (EC) of 7.0 and 0.2 dS/m) in a greenhouse. A randomized complete block design with six replications was used with a split-plot arrangement. Grain yield, root length, number of panicles, root, and shoot dry biomass were evaluated. The genotypes showed wide phenotypic variability in the response to salt stress in all the variables studied, except for shoot dry biomass. The advanced lines from interspecific crosses showed a greater number of genotypes with tolerance to salt stress and exhibited a greater number of transgressive lines in group 1, compared to the lines of group 2, japonica x japonica. The lines that resulted in greater tolerance to salt stress can be used in genetic improvement programs that seek to develop rice cultivars tolerant to saline stress.

Abstract

Climate change, coupled with the indiscriminate application of inorganic chemicals, is causing tremendous challenges in agricultural production systems. The experiment aims to improve the production potential of tomato fruits and it was conducted in Vniiccok (Russia) during summer 2024, using Albitbr bio-stimulant in eight different doses (0 l/ha, 0.1 l/ha, 0.5 l/ha, 1 l/ha, 2.5 l/ha, 5 l/ha, 10 l/ha and 50 l/ha) on four cultivars of tomato (Malets, Revansh, Telecman and Fenaric). A randomized block design was followed, and each treatment was replicated three times. The data was analyzed using ANOVA at a 5% level of significance. Results of the experiment indicated that Malets cultivar led to the production of the highest values of all the growth and yield parameters; Maximum plant height (72.21 cm), number of leaves (27.08), number of branches (6.06), number of fruits (48.16) and marketable yield (81.93 t/ha). Significantly, the highest values of maximum plant height (66.25 cm), number of fruits (36.71), and marketable yield (76.92 t/ha) were obtained from 2.5 l/ha of Albitbr. Thus, a 2.5 l/ha dose was found to be the best dose for upgrading the productivity of tomato fruits to the maximum level.

Abstract

Environmental changes resulting from climate anomalies may have significant implications for the future of global cocoa sustainability. A study was conducted to investigate the responses of two different cocoa varieties, i.e., ICCRI 06H and ICCRI 08H, to various environmental conditions at the greenhouse scale. Two distinct factors, i.e., green-house microclimate and soil moisture level, were simulated in a split-split plot design. A glass box equipped with artificial light was installed to modify the ambient temperature and air humidity, providing two different conditions: inside (IB) and outside (OB) the glass box, assigned as the main plot. The performance of cocoa seedlings was tested as a subplot, and they were exposed to different soil moisture levels, i.e., 100% soil moisture (ETa1), 50% soil moisture (ETa2), and 25% soil moisture (ETa3), defined as sub-subplot. Data suggested a slight difference in daily air temperature and relative humidity fluctuations, in both plots, observed as a function of time. A higher response of the stomatal index and density, up to 20%, was found in the ETa3 treatment for ICCRI 08H. The stress simulation increased the ICCRI 08H proline by up to 36% and guaiacol peroxidase by 27% higher than ICCRI 06H.

Abstract

Landraces are reservoirs of desirable and important traits and sources of variations for crop improvement. We evaluated 150 fine and aromatic rice landraces obtained from various regions of the country. The study employed alpha lattice design with two repetitions. Genetic parameters and association studies were performed on the fourteen quantitative traits. Statistical analysis of quantitative traits from evaluated rice landraces revealed significant (p< 0.05) differences for all the traits except the number of unfilled grains. Heading (18.08 and 18.29), maturity days (13.76 and 13.92), and thousand grain weight (20.26 and 21.74) showed narrow variation in genotypic and phenotypic coefficients. Similarly, heading (0.98 and 36.83), maturity days (0.98 and 28.03), plant height (0.72 and 27.66), and thousand grain weight (0.87 and 38.88) recorded high heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percentage of mean. Flag leaf length (0.34**), width (0.31**), and thousand grain weight (0.39**) had highly significant correlation with grain yield. Besides, days to heading (-0.57**, -0.38**) and maturity (-0.57**, -0.38**), tillers (-0.40**, -0.21) were highly significant but negatively correlated. Balamsari Dhan produced the highest grain yield (6.2 t/ha) followed by Rango (5.35 t/ha). The outstanding genotypes could be utilized as donor parents in the future breeding to enhance genetic gain.

Abstract

Phenological and morphological traits, environmental conditions, and management practices influence the grain yield of bread wheat. Twenty elite wheat genotypes were evaluated under irrigated conditions using an alpha lattice design with two replications at IAAS, Paklihawa, Nepal, in 2021–2022 to identify key yield-attributing traits. Among 11 phenological and morphological traits, days to booting (DTB), plant height (Ph), spike length (SL), and number of spikelets per spike (NSPS) showed high heritability and genetic advance. Phenotypic correlation revealed significant (P<0.01) negative associations of grain yield (GY) with DTB (-0.434), days to heading (DTH, -0.411), and Ph (-0.411). Principal component and biplot analyses highlighted DTB, DTH, days to anthesis (DTA), and Ph as key traits negatively correlated with GY. Path analysis demonstrated a direct negative effect of DTB (-0.745) and Ph (-0.336) on GY, while DTH (0.131) and DTA (0.104) had positive effects, offset by DTB’s indirect influence. Thus, early booting and shorter plant height are recommended for achieving high yields. Cluster analysis grouped genotypes into five clusters, with cluster 2 (BL 4407, BL 4919, NL 1346) and cluster 5 (NL 1350) identified as promising candidates for developing dwarf and earlybooting varieties in irrigation-based breeding programs respectively.

Abstract

The use of forest land under dipterocarp for agroforestry is hindered by the problem of low fertility, necessitating the application of fertilization from organic materials, such as manure, compost, or biochar. These materials provide essential nutrients, including nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus, and potassium, increase cation exchange capacity (CEC), neutralize the pH, and enhance soil texture and water retention. This study aims to determine the effect of fertilization on the growth of Porang in the dipterocarp forest in PT Utama Damai Indah Timber East Kalimantan. It was conducted from August 2021 to July 2022. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used with three replications at five treatment levels: manure 1000 g/plant (P1), compost 1000 g/plant (P2), biochar + manure 1000 g/plant (P3), biochar + compost 1000 g/plant (P4), and control without fertilization (P0).  Data analysis was performed using ANOVA, followed by the Duncan test at a 10% level. The results showed that applying organic fertilizer enhanced soil's physical and chemical properties significantly. The combination of biochar and manure, at 1000 g/plant, proved to be the most effective treatment for increasing the height and yield of Porang compared to the control and other treatments.

Abstract

This review provides a concise overview of the findings from a recent study examining the impact of biohumus on agricultural diversity. The global challenges of low crop yields and soil infertility have prompted a longstanding debate. Chemical fertilizers have historically been favored for soil enhancement despite their unknown ecological consequences. Growing awareness of environmental contamination resulting from chemical residues has spurred a shift towards economically and environmentally friendly organic fertilizers. Biohumus, an organic fertilizer derived from the decomposition of organic waste, offers a natural source of trace elements that promote plant growth and soil fertility. Numerous studies have demonstrated that biohumus promotes enhanced vegetative growth and increased yields due to its nutrient-rich composition, specifically tailored to support plant development. Additionally, trace elements and microbes within biohumus contribute to improved soil performance, particularly in infertile agricultural regions. Remarkably, biohumus has been demonstrated to mitigate the adverse effects of abiotic stress on plants by facilitating the release of biostimulants. This comprehensive review aims to disseminate research outcomes on the viability of biohumus as a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers in agriculture.
