The region's erratic weather patterns, including unpredictable temperature fluctuations, changes in precipitation, and extreme weather events, have a profound impact on apple cultivation. Rising temperatures contribute to increased pest and disease incidence, affecting the health and productivity of apple orchards. Changes in flowering time disrupt pollination and fruit development, leading to potential yield losses. Additionally, water availability and irrigation challenges pose significant risks to apple farming, as reduced snowfall and changing precipitation patterns affect water supply and irrigation practices. The vulnerability of apple orchards to extreme events, such as heavy rains, hailstorms, and unseasonal snowfall, results in physical damage and disrupts transportation and market access. The suitability of certain cultivation areas may shift due to climate change, requiring farmers to adapt their practices and explore new varieties or crop diversification. Mitigation and adaptation strategies, such as climate-resilient farming practices and supportive policies, are necessary to safeguard the sustainability and productivity of apple farming in the Kashmir valley in the face of climate change.","PeriodicalId":169666,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Animal Production","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124685302","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}

It sought to attain the following objectives: (1) determine the level of effectiveness of granular chicken manure and banana peel mixture as an alternative fertilizer for rice production; (2) create a comparative analysis between the yields produced with the alternative fertilizer and complete fertilizer (14-14-14); and (3) assess the advantages, disadvantages, and effects of the organic fertilizer application on rice cultivation through observations. The data for the study were obtained through an experimentalevaluative method. To analyze the gathered data, descriptive statistics were used, specifically the measure of central tendency (MCT) using the mean and percentage of the sample and the measure of variability (MOV) using range. The chicken manure (CM) was air-dried for eight months, while the banana peel (BP) was stripped and solar-dried for three to five days. These were applied in different treatments: (T1) no application (pure application of complete fertilizer (CF)); (T2) a mixture of 1.225 kilograms (kg) of CM and 0.5 kg of BP applied with 50% of the CF in T1; (T3) a mixture of 2.45 kg of CM and 1 kg of BP; and (T4) a mixture of 3.675 kg of CM and 1.5 kg of BP. Considering the average height, rate of growth, and rate of water absorption, the results revealed that the treatment with an application of both organic fertilizer and complete fertilizer generated the highest level of effectiveness compared to the treatments with a pure application of either complete or organic fertilizer. However, when it comes to product yields, the treatment that had the highest product yield and number of panicle initiations during the reproductive phase was T3, the treatment with a standard application of organic fertilizer. Nonetheless, these implied that the mixture of chicken manure and banana peel could be an economical alternative to complete fertilizer for rice production.","PeriodicalId":169666,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Animal Production","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122041459","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}

However, apple farmers in the region face several challenges that hinder their productivity and profitability. These challenges include climate change, unseasonal snowfall, lack of credit and insurance, pest attacks, high input costs, market access, and the selection of proper fungicides. Climate change has caused a shift in the apple-growing regions and has led to increased pest attacks, while unseasonal snowfall damages the apple trees and reduces the yield. Lack of credit and insurance prevents farmers from investing in their farms, while high input costs and the selection of proper fungicides add to their production costs. Market access remains a significant challenge for farmers, with many of them having to sell their produce at lower prices due to a lack of proper market infrastructure. These challenges require immediate attention and support from the government and other stakeholders to ensure the sustainability of apple cultivation in the region and the livelihoods of the farmers. In this context, this paper aims to highlight the challenges faced by apple farmers in the Kashmir valley, their impact on apple cultivation, and the measures that can be taken to address these challenges. The paper also aims to create awareness among stakeholders regarding the importance of sustainable apple cultivation and the need to support apple farmers in the region.","PeriodicalId":169666,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Animal Production","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131984196","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}

Edward, Kalibwani Rabecca, Malinga M. Geoffrey","doi":"10.55529/ijaap.33.11.24","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.55529/ijaap.33.11.24","url":null,"abstract":"Background: The effects of climate change such as droughts, floods and land degradations normally result into crop failures among smallholder farmers. The effect is more adverse on smallholder farmers of Sub Sharan region owing to its low coping strategies and poverty prevalence. Assessing the smallholder farmers coping strategies to the effects of climate is an evitable thought if we want to develop sustainable coping options and policies to climate change. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of climate change, and assess on how the smallholder farmers coped up with them. A cross-sectional survey research design was employed to generate data from the 360 randomly selected household heads across the nine parishes in the Sub County via a semi- structured questionnaire, interviews schedules to key informants and focus group discussion to smallholder farmer groups. The SPSS tool was used to analyze the effects of climate change and their coping strategies and presented in frequency distribution tables and correlation matrices.\u0000\u0000Results: The two most widely practiced coping strategies were sales of productive assets and reduction in food consumptions rates among the smallholder farmers. The results from the correlation analysis revealed that there were significant positive correlations between floods, droughts, famines, and sales of productive assets and reduction in consumption rates of food.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: The findings from the study note that there are several factors that work in synergy to influence the specific coping strategies by smallholder farmers to climate change. This therefore calls for more efforts from government and development partners to strengthen the agricultural extension services by customizing climate information delivery system, allocating more fundings to researchers to engineer climate-tolerant crop and animal resources, investing on water for production projects, renting out idle pieces land to investors by smallholder farmers in order to provide the additional source of earnings.","PeriodicalId":169666,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Animal Production","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128360873","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}
