The causes of land degradation processes are invariably a combination of loss of vegetation cover, overgrazing, and agricultural malpractices which are exacerbated by the pressure of the increasing population. The effect of land degradation and its steady annual expansionis hardly noticed since it is a long-term and pervasive process. Land degradation is an important issue because of its adverse impact on agronomic productivity, the environment, and its effect on food security and quality of life. Results:The study was conducted in the Achekore sub-watershed of adopters and Layotirgasub-watershed nonadopters of the Mirab-Abaya district. The major objective of the study was to investigate the factors affecting the adoption of the watershed program. The study used random sampling techniques and selected 334 total sample sizes, and analyzed using an econometric model called a binary logistic model. The findings revealed that among the hypothesized explanatory variables included in the model, land size and land tenure were found to affect the dependent variable at a 5% significant level, whereas age, gender, family size, participation in the non-farm activity, distance, and slope variables influencing at 1% significant level. Moreover, Education and extension contact variables were found not significant to the adoption of watershed management technologies.

Lippold] that were invading a riparian habitat in northern Queensland. For comparison, two native trees [black tea tree (Melaleuca bracteata F. Muell.) and Moreton Bay ash (Corymbia tessellaris (F.Muell.) K.D.Hill & L.A.S.Johnson)] growing in association with Captain Cook tree were also monitored. Sap flow measurements were grouped into eight timeframes per day (early morning, late morning, early afternoon, late afternoon, early night, late night, early dawn and late dawn). Significant interactions in sap flow rate occurred between plant types, timeframes, and months. The magnitude of sap flow rate was Moreton Bay ash>YCC>ACC>black tea tree>MCC. Maximum sap flow rates tended to occur during early (1-3 pm) to mid-afternoon (4-6 pm) for all age groups of Captain Cook tree and the two native trees. Diurnal sap flow rates were significantly greater than nocturnal, and on a monthly basis sap flow rates were highest over the spring to autumn period (September-May) and lowest during winter (June–August). Significant differences in water consumption also occurred between species and months. Water consumption peak time varied between plant types with most plants peaking in January except for MCC and Moreton Bay ash trees for which peak water consumption occurred in June and July respectively. Water consumption was high across all seasons except winter. The magnitude of water consumption was Moreton Bay ash>black tea tree>YCC>ACC>MCC trees. Moreton Bay ash registered maximal monthly water consumption (4700 L) compared with minimal consumption by MCC trees (55 L). On average, Captain Cook trees used 99% and 72% less water than Moreton Bay ash and black tea trees respectively. The significantly lower water consumption by Captain Cook trees compared with Moreton Bay ash and black tea trees may be offset by high population densities. Results also suggest that knowledge of optimal sap flow timeframes may be advantageous in exploring optimal timing for application of control operations related to management of Captain Cook trees.","PeriodicalId":290736,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture and Horticulture Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115936687","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 results showed that the mean values of all the studied physical and chemical characteristics except pH, temperature, and phosphate were higher than the acceptable limits of the Iraqi river water guidelines and international standards. The current study concluded that the Tigris River water was heavily polluted from untreated sewage discharge and other industrial, agricultural, and domestic activities.

However, faced with environmental adversity, limited natural resources and increasing food demand around the globe, more attention has turned to improving crop plant production by implementing efficient strategies. Seed priming technology has shown promising biological improvements leading to suitable agronomic performance in crop plants under adverse environmental conditions. Seeds are subjected to controlled conditions that are conducive to complex physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes, conferring specific stress tolerance to subsequent germination and growth conditions. In this review paper, we aimed to study the recent approaches in the efficiency of hydropriming, osmopriming, chemopriming, hormopriming, nanopriming, matrix priming, biopriming, physical priming and hybrid priming procedures in the production of crop plants under environmental adversity, as well as their biological mechanism changes. All priming methods demonstrated relevant changes in the biological mechanism related to crop plant production by mitigating salinity effects, heavy metals, and flooding stress and enhancing chilling, heat, drought and phytopathogen tolerance. We strongly recommend that researchers combine multiple priming methods, known as hybrid priming, in their investigations to provide novel technologies and additional biological approaches to enhance the knowledge of crop plant science. Thus, the findings shed light on the use of seed priming technology as a key strategy to increase crop plant production under environmental adversity by acquiring stress tolerance and enhancing agronomic traits to meet the global food demand.","PeriodicalId":290736,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture and Horticulture Research","volume":"402 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116680417","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}

Mean values of total heterotrophic bacterial and fungal count of the polluted soils ranged from 1.18 × 107CFU/g to 1.90 × 107CFU/g and from 1.4 × 106 SFU/g to 7.0 × 106 SFU/g respectively. While bacterial and fungal counts in the control soil ranged from 3.0 × 106CFU/g to 4.0 × 106CFU/g and 1.0 × 106 SFU/g to 3.0 × 106 SFU/g respectively. Except for station C that had lower fungal counts, the bacterial and fungal counts were higher in polluted soils than in control soils. There was statistical significant difference in the total heterotrophic bacterial and fungal count at p≤0.05.
