Therefore, this study was conducted to empirically analyse the effect of livelihood diversification, on the food security status of the rural farming households. The study was conducted in Udi local government area, Enugu state, Nigeria. The study drew a sample of 60 rural households through a multi-stage random sampling technique. Data obtained were analysed using food security index, tobit regression model and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The two-third mean per capital monthly food expenditure (food security line) for the entire household was ₦1,430.18. More than half (55%) of the sampled households were food insecure. The tobit regression result indicated that the household size, farm size, gender, age and dependency ratio were found to have significant effect in determining diversification of the farming households livelihood sources. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient obtained for the diversification index (0.61) was positive and significant at 1 percent level of probability. Policy implications were drawn for birth control, poverty alleviation programs which would enhance their livelihood diversification activities, and the creation of sustainable off-farm and non-farm employment opportunities.","PeriodicalId":249001,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research","volume":"17 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":"121876635","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}

Weeding is essential to improve productivity of field crops. Manual weeding with local tool is most common practice in the vegetable crops. Suitable mechanization technology is needed to reduce drudgery and to enhance the timeliness of operation. Power weeder has been evaluated for its field performance in comparison with wheel hoe and traditional hand tool (powrah) taking into consideration their cost of operation in the farmers fields opposite to College of Agricultural Engineering, Bapatla. Besides uprooting of weeds, the removal of uprooted weeds will take more time and labour, hence a multipurpose weed rake was developed at the workshop of College of Agricultural Engineering, Bapatla. Field efficiency of power weeder, wheel hoe and powrah were 81.36%, 61.88% and 89% respectively. The power weeder had the lowest weeding time 20.24 h/ha, maximum coverage area 0.049 ha/h, over wheel hoe and traditional method. The weeding efficiency of power weeder, wheel hoe and traditional method reported 82.89%, 79.59%and 97.21%, respectively, with the cost of operation of Rs. 1676/ha, Rs 889/ha and Rs 3990/ha. Cost of operation of developing Weed Rake was very much less than traditional methods.","PeriodicalId":249001,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research","volume":"100 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":"124705317","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}

Being grown in narrow temperature range, a slight increase in the temperature will drastically reduce the yield of rice. It is important to study the impact of temperature stress, on seed yield attributing characters so as to develop mitigation strategies. Hence, the present investigation was carried out by raising five rice varieties viz., MDU 5, ASD 16, CO 51, Anna (R) 4 and ADT 43 in field condition at Coimbatore under two temperature regimes-high (summer, 2016) and normal (rabi, 2016) temperature in field condition, so as to explore its impact on crop phenology and seed yield. Except for plant height no significant influence of high temperature on vegetative growth of the plants were observed. Increased plant height was observed in case of high temperature conditions. Reduced leaf area and leaf chlorophyll index were also observed. Exposure of plants to high temperature also resulted in early flowering in all the varieties under testing. Total number of spike lets per panicle, number of filled seed per panicle and seed set were significantly lower in plants exposed to high temperature which ultimately resulted in lower seed yield.","PeriodicalId":249001,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research","volume":"9 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":"124212383","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}

From a hydrological perspective, a watershed is a useful unit of operation and analysis because; it facilitates a systems approach to land and water use, in interconnected upstream and downstream areas. Watershed projects aim to maximize the quantity of water available for crops, livestock and human consumption, through on-site soil and moisture conservation, infiltration into aquifers, and safe runoff into surface ponds. Hence, the present study conducted on experimental investigations on ground water fluctuations and recharge carried out using the water level indicator, empirical equations like proposed empirical relationship, Chaturvedi formula and Chaturvedi formula. The rainfall recharge was found to be less than 5 inches. On the other hand, average rainfall recharge computed from all three equations like proposed empirical relationship (1.43), Chaturvedi formula (0.92) and Modified Chaturvedi formula (1.94) inches. Where, it was found, in Modified Chaturvedi formula and empirical relationship being quite high. Therefore, Chaturvedi formula equation can conveniently be used for better and quick assessment of natural ground water recharge, in Mutukula watershed area.","PeriodicalId":249001,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research","volume":"54 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":"114689279","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}
