This review aims to elucidate the diverse mechanisms by which stinging nettle influences plant pathology and contributes to disease management strategies. Stinging nettle possesses notable allelopathic properties, exerting inhibitory effects on various plant pathogens through the release of allelochemicals. Furthermore, its rich phytochemical composition, including phenolics, flavonoids, and terpenoids, contributes to its antimicrobial activity against a spectrum of plant pathogens. Additionally, stinging nettle exhibits immunomodulatory effects on host plants, enhancing their resistance to pathogen invasion. Moreover, the incorporation of stinging nettle extracts or formulations into integrated disease management approaches has shown promising results in reducing disease incidence and severity in various crops. However, further research is warranted to elucidate the specific mechanisms underlying stinging nettle's efficacy in plant disease management and optimize its utilization in agricultural systems. This review underscores the potential of stinging nettle as a valuable tool in sustainable plant disease management strategies, providing insights for researchers and practitioners alike.\u0000","PeriodicalId":144796,"journal":{"name":"Science Development","volume":"88 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141812572","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}

There were five levels of irrigation water application; 60%, 80%, 100%, 120%, and 140% of the allowable soil moisture depletion levels (ASMDL) for each of the treatments laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. In the study, the combined year analysis result showed that there is a significant yield difference among the irrigation water applications at a P < 0.05 level of significance. The highest yield (5.269 tone ha-1) was obtained by applying irrigation water of 80% ASMDL followed by 120% ASMDL (4.734 tone ha-1) however the least yield (4.165 tone ha-1) was observed at irrigation water application of 60% ASMDL of the recommended level which means the application of 40% less water than the FAO recommended level. There is no significant difference in water use efficiency between the treatments, but the highest water use efficiency has been observed at 80% ASMDL. The overall result of this experiment suggests that the application of irrigation water using 20% less than the FAO recommendation (100% ASMDL) can sufficiently be used for irrigation scheduling of irrigated durum wheat under central highland vertosol conditions. Therefore, to have a higher yield of irrigated durum wheat it was recommended to flush frequently before critical depletion occurred.\u0000","PeriodicalId":144796,"journal":{"name":"Science Development","volume":"89 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141812725","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 major objective of this study was to evaluate and recommend the best performed tef varieties for the tef growers of moisture stress areas. Field experiment was conducted to select well adapted and high yielder tef varieties at Simada North western, Ethiopia during 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 main cropping season. The experiment was conducted by using 12 tef varieties through a randomized complete block design with three replications. The combined analysis of variance over years revealed a highly significant difference (p<0.01) among studied tef varieties for days to maturity, biomass yield, grain yield and harvest index and significant difference (p<0.05) for plant height. Infarct, the cultivation of improved tef varieties in moisture deficit areas is absolutely crucial for food security and income generation to the communities by enhanced tef production and productivity through using recommended varieties as compared to the farmers local varieties. So, the Two tef varieties, Mechere and Zoble provided as higher grain yield 1830kg/ha, 1824 kg/ha respectively at moisture stress area. Therefore, based on grain yield and other important traits, Mechere and Zoble varieties could be recommended for Simada district and similar moisture stressed agro ecologies.\u0000","PeriodicalId":144796,"journal":{"name":"Science Development","volume":" 30","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141128692","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}
