This endeavor reached to a new transformation from forestry to Forestry- Horticulture so as to enable acquiring fruits and nuts, highly effectively useful in bringing feel good and wellness, foster of good health and wealth for nations, under changing climate. Reviw and connaissance survey of suitable horticultural trees which bear fruits and nuts and not get damaged by birds, monkeys and ground moving wild animals were searched coveing India from it boundary in North to South and from West to East. There occurred plentiful fruits and nut trees, bushes and herbs, which will easily grow at sites in forest where no trees existed. The statistics of forestry revealed that mere 2.7 percent of geographical area occuring under forest (21.338%), is dense forest having vegetation cover density of 70% or more and remaing areas under forest have moderate to low vegetation covearage. This new transformation will quickly enhance forest cover, induce carbon sequestration, produce woods of different qualities and additionally produce fruits, nuts, gums and resins and many useful produces such as leaves, herbs, honey etc. These products will be available locally as all states have their own forests and produce commodities for business and trades with huge employment generations in process from production to consumption. This new bio based transformation is implementable, without creating any disparity or grudge and bringing a plausible livelihood from stressful situation occurring due to global warming and climate change.","PeriodicalId":290736,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture and Horticulture Research","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130116476","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 the perspective of a transition to \"green energy\" and in order to promote the emergence of solar energy in Algeria, a reflection on the development strategies of this energy must be combined with the strong challenges of the region, namely, the preservation of biodiversity, ecological continuities, as well as landscapes, the maintenance of agricultural land and forest areas and the fight against climate change.

Estimation of actual crop evapotranspiration (ETa) is critical for agricultural water resource management and proper irrigation scheduling. This study aimed to (1) estimate the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and four vegetables actual ETa during crop off season using Penman–Monteith method and alternative climatic data models and, (2) to determine the irrigation water requirement for these main vegetable crops in northern Togo. Four (4) ground based weather stations were considered across the northern region of Togo for 1987 - 2016 period. Non parametric Mann-Kendall test was used for the significance of the trend analysis of off season reference and actual evapotranspiration. The results showed a decreasing trend in off season ETo at Dapaong, Mango and Kara weather stations while Niamtougou showed an increasing trend in the long term ETo. From all stations, only Niamtougou had a significant increasing trend in ETa for all vegetable crops under this study. Among the study locations, Mango had the highest irrigation water requirement for all four vegetable crops, followed by Kara. The lowest irrigation requirement was obtained at Dapaong. These results will help in irrigation planning for tomato, cabbage, carrot and onion in the semi-arid climate of Togo and similar environment.","PeriodicalId":290736,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture and Horticulture Research","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122500888","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}

There are two phases of mortality composting (a. production of compost material and b. utilization of compost material enhancing Kuwait soils). Mortality composting has proven more viable and cost-effective solution for proper recycling and utilization of dead sheep. Attempts were taken to exploit the compost generated from dead sheep as substrate for two major leafy vegetable (Chinese Kale (Brassica oleracea cv. Blue star) and leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa cv. Romaine-ROUGE d’HIVER). Mortality sheep compost was prepared with fine, medium and coarse saw dust as substrate as well as using a rotary ecodrum composter and used along with Peatmoss: Perilite: Sawdust in the ratio 1:1:1. Commercially available compost was used as standard for comparison and soilless medium without compost served as the control. The results revealed that plants grown in compost prepared by Ecodrum provided better results in terms of plant characteristics in crops viz., Chinese Kale and leaf lettuce. Ecodrum provided a solution for increasing the yield of crop plants grown in container pots. However, further chemical analysis is required for improving soil quality and enhanced soil productivity in large-scale.","PeriodicalId":290736,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture and Horticulture Research","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127833983","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 purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effects of planting time, planting system with variety on the growth and yield of garlic germplasm. Two experiments were performed during the study, and the experiments were laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Four planting time (such as 26 October, 9 November, 20 November and 10 December), two factors for planting system (such as zero tillage and dry land) and four varieties (such as BAU garlic-1, BAU garlic-2, BAU garlic-3 and G-51) were considered during the experiments. The results revealed that the planting time had significant influence on growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of garlic. The highest values of growth parameters as well as bulb yield (10.33 t/ha) were obtained at 26 October whereas the lowest values were recorded at 10 December resulting bulb yield (8.47 t/ha). On the other hand, the planting system had also significant influence on the vegetative growth and yield of garlic. The highest values of growth characters, yield attributes and yield of garlic was found in zero tillage compared to dry land. BAU Garlic-3 was provided the highest growth as well as bulb yield among other three varieties. It was also noticed that, the combined treatment of zero tillage and variety of BAU Garlic-3 gave the highest values of growth and yield attributes as well as bulb yield (8.80 t/ha) parallel with other combined effects.
