Empowering Farmers: Integrating Farming Systems for Sustainable Prosperity

Introduction The agricultural landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by changing climatic patterns, economic forces, and technological advancements. Amidst these transformations, the well-being and prosperity of farmers remain paramount. In response to the challenges faced by farmers and the imperatives of sustainable agriculture, the concept of Integrated Farming Systems (IFS) has gained prominence as a holistic … Read more

Enhancing Intercropping Research and Practices in Modern Agricultural Landscapes

Introduction Intercropping, a traditional farming practice dating back centuries, involves the simultaneous cultivation of multiple crops within the same field space. Unlike monoculture systems, which rely on single crop species, intercropping harnesses the complementarity and synergies among different plant species to optimize resource utilization, suppress pests and diseases, and enhance soil health [1]. Despite its … Read more

Understanding the Physicochemical Behavior of Pesticides in Soil and Water

Introduction Pesticides are essential tools in modern agriculture, helping to combat pests and diseases that threaten crop productivity and food security. However, their widespread use has raised concerns about their impact on the environment, particularly soil and water quality. The physicochemical behavior of pesticides, including their sorption, degradation, and transport processes, plays a critical role … Read more

Exploring Progress and Hurdles in Plant Tissue Culture: A Comprehensive Review

Introduction Plant tissue culture, a technique pioneered by Haberlandt in the late 19th century, involves the aseptic culture of plant cells, tissues, or organs under controlled conditions in a nutrient medium supplemented with growth regulators. Since its inception, tissue culture has become an indispensable tool in plant science, facilitating the propagation of elite plant varieties, … Read more

Response of early seedling inberd lines of wheat against 20% PEG6000 induced condtion

Seed germination, the first stage of growth, is susceptible to water scarcity because soil moisture at the time of planting may hinder seedling emergence, which in turn affects yield output [1-2]. Due to a water deficit, plant physiological and biochemical processes as well as growth and development may all be significantly impacted [3]. The plant … Read more

Effects of PEG6000 and NaCl stresses on germination of Benisuif-5 durum wheat genotype

Crop improvement has come a long way, but modern agriculture is confronting some unheard-of hurdles to keep up with the expanding human demand [1]. Physiological screening procedures are generally resisted by plant breeders because they are thought to be more expensive, time-consuming, and challenging to employ. Therefore, growing interest has been shown in the use … Read more

Study on the Prevalence and Farmers Managements Practices of Termites on Maize (Zea mays L.) in Eastern Wollega

In Ethiopia, termites are one of the major threats to agricultural crops, forest trees and buildings in western part of the country [1]. Termite attacks caused up to 36% reduction in yields of maize respectively in the region [2, 3 &4]. This devastating insect pest also causes soil degradation by reducing vegetation and leaving the … Read more

Assessment of Physiological Workload of Female Workers by Heart Rate Monitor

INTRODUCTION Physiological workload is the measurable portion of physical resources expended when performing a given task and is affected by a range of factors, which include nature of work, training, motivation and environmental factors. Physiological workload can be assessed by heart rate monitor which is a personal monitoring device that allows one to measure one’s … Read more
