ZnFe 2 O 4 /PUF composite materials have successfully been utilized as a new solid phase extraction (SPE) sorbent for the separation of cadmium and copper ions in various water samples. The XRD results revealed that only the spinel structure of ZnFe 2 O 4 was formed, with an average crystallite size of 24nm. The ferromagnetic behaviour of ZnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles was observed, with magnetization of 4.179emu/g and coercivity of 267.11G. The microstructure of the prepared composite materials observed the spongy structure and higher porosity. The aqueous solution and real water (from Fayoum city, Egypt) were used for studying the effects of pH, sorbent dose, and shaking time of the composite materials on the Cd 2+ and Cu 2+ ions removal. The batch procedure shows the maximum extraction percentage of Cd 2+ and Cu 2+ ions were 95.8% and 96.5% at the optimal conditions.","PeriodicalId":12075,"journal":{"name":"Fayoum Journal of Agricultural Research and Development","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83018768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper contributes to the discourse by examining information needs and obstacles of small-scale farmers in the Volta Region, Ghana. Structured questionnaires were used to collect primary data from six hundred and thirty (630) small-scale farmers, selected through multistage sampling technique. The study showed that information on marketing, post-harvest techniques, and diseases and pests management were the critical information needs of small-scale farmers in the Region. The study further established that majority of small-scale farmers were aware of information sources in the Region with the major information sources consulted by farmers in order of preference being family members, friends, radio, television and extension agents. A chi-square analysis showed that educational level of farmers was not significant at ρ ≤ 0.05 and therefore did not affect farmers’ information needs. Besides, the study showed that the major obstacles facing small-scale farmers were lack of skills to access information, inadequate information resources, insufficient agricultural extension agents, and absence of Agricultural Information Centres. These findings will certainly shape agricultural extension program planning in the Region and inform national extension policy.","PeriodicalId":12075,"journal":{"name":"Fayoum Journal of Agricultural Research and Development","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78864913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The average cost of production inputs was found to represent the largest proportion of the average variable costs by about 78.83% of the average production cost, and total revenue per ton of white cheese was estimated at LE 40,843. The value of the pound spent per ton was about £0.145, and the value added per ton of cheese was estimated at £3,612. The ratio of total variable costs to total revenue was estimated at 71.1%. The sharp surplus amounted to 11,813.25 pounds, and the stimulus for the product was estimated at 13%. An estimate of the production function shows that the most influential factors for the amount of white cheese are the amount of milk and the number of workers. A correlation was found between the amount of production, the amount of milk and the number of workers in the function. Total productivity flexibility was about 1,053.

Twenty-six soil profiles were selected to represent the different mapping units. Assessment of soil quality is based on three main quality indices, chemical index (CI), physical index (PI), and fertility index (FI). The results revealed that chemical quality ranges from high to low quality, where most of the study area has a moderate quality. Physical quality varies from high to moderate, where most of the study area is classified as high quality. Fertility index in the study area fell into moderate and low classes. Finally, integration of the three indices showed that the study area is classified as a moderate soil quality.
