The diffusion of agricultural innovations is a pivotal issue that needs to be addressed in the development. This research aims at describing the diffusion stages of cultivator machine innovation and scrutinizing the effect of innovation characteristics on cultivator machine adoption on vegetable farmers in Banyuroto Village, Sawangan Subdistrict, Magelang Regency. The data were collected by means of questionnaires, direct and phone interviews, and observation. The data were analyzed using two methods, i.e., descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. The findings showed that the diffusion stages of cultivator machine innovation began with an initial stage of promoting knowledge of cultivator machine through training provided by agricultural extension agents to Karya Makmur’s Livestock Farmer Group in 2017, followed by process of persuasion (i.e., the response of farmers’ interest to cultivator machines). The decision stage was indicated by the attitude of adopting or rejecting the cultivator machine innovation. Furthermore, the implementation stage began with the use of cultivator machines for cultivating the land in 2019. Lastly, the confirmation stage was in the form of repeated use. The results of the statistical analysis demonstrated that innovation characteristics simultaneously influenced cultivator machine adoption. The variables influencing cultivator machine adoption were relative advantages, trialability, and observability. Meanwhile, the variables that did not influence were compatibility and complexity.","PeriodicalId":182275,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Research","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127546209","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}

In light of climate change and its effects, there is an urgent need for the replacement of synthetic growth media with organic alternatives. Currently the waste of Guyana’s expanding coconut industry is posing a solid waste management issue; as such it can be converted and used as an organic growth medium in the form of cocopeat. This study sought to compare the effects of cocopeat, vermicompost, and promix growth medium on the growth and development of boulanger and tomato seedlings. Four treatments were evaluated using an experimental approach in a randomised complete block design. Data was obtained on the physical and chemical properties of the medium and the growth parameters of the seedlings. Results indicated that promix had the best bulk density and water holding capacity followed by cocopeat and then vermicompost. It was found that the mixture of vermicompost and cocopeat produced boulanger seedlings with the most leaves, widest leaves and highest fresh weight while vermicompost produced boulanger seedlings of the tallest shoots and longest leaves. On the other hand, the mixture of cocopeat and vermicompost produced tomato seedlings of the tallest shoots, longest leaves, and longest roots while vermicompost produced those with the most leaves and highest fresh weight. These were followed by the seedlings produced in cocopeat and then by those produced in promix for both boulanger and tomato. The results of this study concluded that the mixture of vermicompost and cocopeat at a 1:1 ratio is the ideal growth medium for boulanger and tomato seedling production as the vermicompost supplies the ready to use nutrients while cocopeat provides an ultimate environment for root development.","PeriodicalId":182275,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Research","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132897814","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}

MCU 7. The experiment consists of eight treatment viz., Pendimethalin 38.7 % CS @ 438.75 g a.i/ha, Pendimethalin 38.7 % CS @ 580.50 g a.i/ha, Pendimethalin 38.7 % CS @ 677.25 g a.i/ha, Fluchloralin 45% EC @ 1125 g a.i/ha, Pendimethalin 30 % EC @ 750 g a.i/ha, Trifluralin 48% EC @ 960 g a.i/ha, Fluchloralin 45% EC @ 2000 g a.i/ha and unweeded check. Regardless of season, all the treatments were found to significantly influenced the weed biometrics, growth, yield components and yield of cotton. Among the treatments tested, Pendimethalin 38.7 % CS @ 677.25 g a.i/ha recorded least weed counts, weed dry matter production, highest weed control index and weed control efficiency favouring higher growth, yield attributes and seed cotton yield in first and second seasons, respectively. This was followed by Pendimethalin 38.7 % CS @ 580.50 g a.i/ha. These treatments were significantly superior than the rest in reducing the weed infestation and ultimately increasing seed cotton yield in both seasons. Unweeded check recorded the highest weed counts, weed biomass resulting in the least growth and seed cotton yield in first and second seasons, respectively. From the study, it may be concluded that application of Pendimethalin 38.7 % CS @ 677.25 g a.i/ha is considered to be judicious recommendation to cotton farmers in view of inadequate labour and higher manual weeding cost.","PeriodicalId":182275,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Research","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132044720","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}

Thus, the problem of wildlife conservation, especially that of pholidotes, becomes worrying. The overall objective of the study is to determine the preferred habitats and threats to the tree pangolin population in the Monts Kouffé protected forest. The method used to collect biogeographical data is based on surveys followed by forest surveys and interviews with the local population. Thus, clues of the presence of Phataginus tricuspis (smell of the animal, tree cavities, claws of the animal against trees in savannah, open forest, dense dry forest and gallery forest in the hunting areas of Manigri Ikanni, Manigri Oké, and Agbassa) were sought and this through excavations in the savannahs. The Menly Alpha Habitat Preference Index was calculated to determine the habitat preference of the tree pangolin and the frequency of threat observations on this animal population. The species frequents open forests, gallery forests, dense-dry forests, wooded savannahs, shrub savannahs. But nevertheless, it has a strong preference for dense dry forests with the Menly alpha index equal to 0.8. The decline of the species’ populations is facilitated by several factors that constitute direct or indirect threats affecting the distribution of the species. These threats are: deforestation (49.05%), illegal hunting (22.64%), human occupations (13.20%), transhumance (7.54%) and wildland fires (7.54%).","PeriodicalId":182275,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Research","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126835410","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, the social dimension of sustainability is often neglected because it is very difficult to quantify and measure using indicators. This paper investigated and elaborated how digitization in agriculture is perceived to affect the social dimension of sustainability. A mixed-method approach was chosen, consisting of a qualitative Delphi study with experts and a quantitative survey with practicing farmers. It was noticeable that for all questions where there are particularly striking deviations, it can be seen that the Delphi experts always achieve a higher mean value than the practicing farmers. Experts see farmers as being more overburdened when it comes to dealing with digital technologies. They also see digitization as an opportunity to create new jobs. Risks are also rated higher by the experts. For example, a higher dependence on manufacturers was indicated, and risks are also rated higher in the case of data misuse. The experts also gave a higher rating to opportunities in the area of cost calculation and in the opening up of new business models. The experts do not see any risk that the profession of farmer will be abolished in the course of digitization and replaced by large corporations. However, the result achieved is considerably higher than that of the practicing farmers. Overall, the results of the mixed-methods approach were found to be similar among experts and practicing farmers for most questions.","PeriodicalId":182275,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Research","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122346935","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}

In order to determine geographic distribution and state of conservation of agrobiodiversity in the Andes’ highlands of the province of Imbabura – Ecuador, 606 farmers were surveyed from 85 communities located over 2,500 masl. Standard Deviational Ellipse was used to determine the trend of spatial distribution; Shannon - Weinner, Simpson, and Margalef indexes, as well as cluster analysis were used to study abundance and conservation. Inverse Distance Weighted interpolation was used to determine the trend of uses. The spatial autocorrelation Moran's I index and the ‘Near’ tool were used to define the influence of proximity to urban areas, and the correlation coefficient to establish the relationship between ethnicity and conservation. The study identified 47 species from seven different groups of crops. Most agro-biodiverse zones were located in Otavalo. Most abundant specie was corn (Zea mays), (19.11% abundance). Pimampiro has a greater Shannon diversity (H'= 1.118). Otavalo has the highest maximum diversity (Hmax = 1.602), and Urcuquí has the greatest Shannon evenness among species (J'=0.931). Highest Simpson dominance index (D= 0.15) was found in Antonio Ante. Corn has the highest number of uses. Highest levels of agrobiodiversity conservation were found in Gonzalez Suarez and Otavalo. Ethnicity and conservation showed an inverse correlation (correlation coefficient = -0.77). Agrobiodiversity conservation shows spatial autocorrelation and values show tendency to clustering (Moran’s I=0.25; z-score=2.80 and p-value=0.005). This research supports the conclusion that the most agro-biodiverse areas, with higher levels of conservation of agrobiodiversity are in Otavalo.","PeriodicalId":182275,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126656710","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}

To determine which sets of remote sensing satellite images were the best, they were compared. During the monitoring periods (2010–2011 and 2020–2021), Beban village is used as a study area. Landsat 8, Sentinel 2, Aster, and Modes satellite images are used to generate the remote sensing data. This period has been selected to classify images in order to assess land cover changes and the infringement of agricultural lands within Beban village and Kom Hamada center. The proposed methods employ the multi-spectral remote sensing data technique for land cover classification, with the selection of a satellite image dependent on the comparisons between the data quality of each satellite image downloaded for the study area. For land cover classification, some band combinations of the remotely sensed data are exploited, and the spatial distributions such as urban areas, agricultural land, and water resources are interpreted. The results give two important points: the Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS sensor is the best when compared with the other satellite, and the second point for the percentage of agricultural land in the study area in 2020, 2015, and 2010 was estimated to be 77.76%, 78.88%, and 84.04%, respectively.
