The production of the crop is threatened by a number of biotic and a biotic factor. Among biotic factors, common rust caused by Puccinia sorghi Schw, is one of destructive foliar diseases of maize in Ethiopia. A study was conducted during the main cropping season (April to November, 2016) in the field at Arsi Negele research farm, Ethiopia with the objective of screening 92 maize accessions and 2 farmer’s verities checks against common rust disease. The experiment was laid out in augmented design with no replications. Disease assessment was done as percentage of leaf area infected on individual plant at 15 days intervals starting from 55 days after planting to cropping season for 5 times. The mean values of disease incidence, severity and AUDPC were calculated and yield recorded. The higher disease percent severity and AUDPC, least yield and thousand seed weight were observed from accessions, AN-239620, AN-9195, AN-9988, AN-9991, AN-15459, AN-15460, AN-16021, AN-18121, AN-18122 and Check-1 with mean values (63.94%, 1694.5%-in days, 3.04 to 3.69 t/ha and 240 to 297g) respectively and categorized in moderately susceptible group. Conversely, the minimum percent disease severity, AUDPC, higher yield and thousand seed weight were recorded from accessions, AN-16559, AN-9987, AN-16571, AN-18104, AN-18106, AN-18121, AN2-4297, AN-913, AN-15325 AN-15326, AN-15461, AN-16276, AN-16278, AN-241584 and AN-162383, with mean values of (31.01%, 720.4%-in days, 4.81 to 5.59 t/ha and 380 to 442g) respectively and grouped in resistant category. Therefore, accessions recorded low percent disease severity and AUDPC values could be used as the resistant varieties and source of resistance to common rust for varietal development of maize.","PeriodicalId":284331,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134343634","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, each feeder type has its benefits and drawbacks both for the bees and beekeepers. The effects of different feeder types on honeybee colonies well-being and their conveniences for feeding by the beekeepers were investigated. Time required to feed a colony, amount of feed consumed, number of dead bees during feeding, number of dead bees in/on the feeder when removed, disturbance and convenience based on technicians’ opinion were compared. Accordingly, significantly (p<0.000) shortest time (40.45 sec) was obtained for top feeder than bucket (71.25 sec) and frame (137.80 sec) feeders. Likewise, significantly (p<0.001) less number of dead bees (2.50) were observed while feeding a colony using top feeder as compared to bucket and frame feeders in which 5.45 and 11.00 dead bees were recorded under hive stand, respectively. Moreover, no dead bee was recorded on the top surface of top feeder compared to frame feeder in which 1.60 dead bees were counted. However, feeder type did not affect the amount of sugar syrup consumed and colony survival during the experiment. Regarding bee technicians’ opinion, top feeder is highly convenient to feed colonies with a minimum colony disturbance and reaction. Thus, the current results indicate that feeding colonies using top feeder is less time consuming, inflicts less damage to the bees, and more convenient feeding method for the beekeeper.","PeriodicalId":284331,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134257417","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}

Despite its advantages, the production and productivity of the crop hindered by several factors, for instance, poor agronomic practices, poor crop breeding, and management, from nursery to the main field of production. Therefore, a nursey-based experiment was conducted to identify the appropriate growth media ratios for cardamom seed germination, seedling uniformity, and vigor at Tepi, Southwestern Ethiopia. Gene cardamom variety was evaluated in six different growth media types namely; Fine Sandy Soil (FS), Forest Soil (ForS), FS: ForS (1:1), FS: DCH (Decomposed Coffee Husk) (1:1), ForS: DCH(1:1), and FS:ForS: DCH(1:1:1) and laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The result revealed that better cardamom seedling growth performance and vigor were obtained from a 1:1 ratio of decomposed coffee husk + forest soil growth media. Therefore, from the result, we concluded that the mixture of decomposed coffee husk + forest soil (1:1) can be used for better cardamom seedling establishment at Tepi and similar agroecology of Ethiopia. Future, studies should focus on the seedling obtained from this soil media mixture performance in the field for yield and yield components.","PeriodicalId":284331,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116226751","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}

Nevertheless, farmers have complaints on its big sized tubers, considered as unmarketable, which costs them more seed to cover a given area of land and less suitable for cooking. Besides, farmers often use random population density and time of harvesting, which also contribute to this problem. The present study was therefore intended to manage the tubers’ size distribution of this variety without negatively affecting the yield of the crop through modifying plant spacing and time of harvesting from previously recommended practices. Twelve combinations of four plant spacing and three time of harvesting were studied on variety “Belete’ at Bekoji and Kofele in the main seasons of 2018 and 2019. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized block design with 4x3 factorial arrangement in three replications. The analysis of variance revealed that the interaction effect of spacing and time of harvesting significantly (p<0.001) affected the marketable tuber yields. The narrow spacing (60cmx20cm) or high population treatment (83,333 plants/ha) with 120 days after planting resulted in the highest marketable and total tuber yield compared to the rest. While the least yields were recorded from the wider spacing of 75cmx30cm (44,444plants/ha) and early harvesting (90 days). The spacing 60cmx20cm did 17.2% increment in marketable yield over the previously recommended spacing of potato (75cmx30cm, 44,444plants/ha). From this study, therefore, it can be recommended for Belete that the narrow spacing of 60cmx20cm and harvesting at 120 days after planting could be the optimum spacing and time of harvesting to produce marketable tubers.","PeriodicalId":284331,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114370694","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}
