Field experiment were conducted at National Cereals Research Institute, Uyo Out-Station in 2011 and 2012 to investigate the response of egusi melon (Colocynthis citrullus) to different rates of OBRA (1,2,3,4, 5 and 6 t/ha) and 200kg/haNPK as recommended rate of inorganic fertilizer for egusi in the study area. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design, replicated three times. Data collected on growth and yield of egusi-melon were subjected to analysis of variance. Significant means were compared using least significant difference at 5% probability level. Application of 6 t/ha OBRA produced significant seed yield of 243.40 and 253.10 kg/ha in 2011 and 2012. Treatment of 200kg/ha NPK produced seed yield of 193.60 and 201.75 kg/ha respectively. The control (no soil amendment) produced the least seed yield of 125.33 and 128.11 kg/ha in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Comparing with recommended rate of NPK (200kg/ha), treatment of 6t/ha OBRA had seed yield of 21 and 20% greater than the recommended rate of NPK. Soil chemical properties at harvest indicated high soil pH (7.80 and 7.90) and organic matter (3.50 and 3.55%) respectively compared with low soil pH (5.00 and 4.90) and organic matter (2.08 and 20.1%) observed in NPK treatment.

We investigated the significance of Solanum melongena pollen in the diet of wild bees found in agroecosystems by examining pollen on the bees using a pollen load analysis and a nutritive analysis. We selected five agricultural sites that cultivate S. melongena near Pune, Maharashtra, India. At each site, over a two-year period, we sampled the wild bees that visited mature flowers. We sampled pollen from mature flowers and also from the bodies of the bee specimens. The pollen grains from the bees were observed under a light microscope and a scanning electron microscope. They were counted using a Neubauer chamber and the pollen probability index for each bee species was calculated. The nutritive value of S. melongena pollen was estimated by extracting and characterising their proteins using liquid chromatography mass-spectrometry. Protein peptides sequences were extracted from the NCBI protein database to examine their essential amino acids. We collected 324 bees representing 11 species in three families involved in S. melongena pollination. Apis florea and A. cerana were the most abundant bees that visited S. melongena flowers. Pollen load size is highly variable ranging between few thousand to 134146 pollen grains per bee. However, the pollen probability index indicated a high degree of specificity to S. melongena pollen. S. melongena has high pollen protein content and a total of 10 different proteins were identified that are important for plant cell activities as well as the nourishment of pollinators. Further proteomic characterization of the indicated that nearly half the essential amino acids played and nutrient role in the bees.

Five polyethene bags were used for each replicate. With this arrangement, 16 replicates were gotten for the plant according to the treatment and duration placement. Parameters such as germination percentage, plant height, and stem girth as well as leaf area were collected and analyzed using mean, variance, standard deviation, variance of the mean, standard error and confidence limit. The results of the analysis showed that the various treatments and the duration significance on percentage germination and growth parameters of Zea mays seeds. Data presented in Tables 1-14 showed the various treatments and the duration significance on percentage germination of Zea mays seeds. The result showed that the treatment of seeds before cultivation increased the percentage germination in Zea mays when compared with the control replicate. The results revealed the height readings of different treatment sources and treatment durations and how significantly it affected the height of Zea mays. It was also observed that leaf Area and stem girth significantly increased in different treatment methods and durations as seen in treatment of Zea mays. From this research, it was observed that seed treatment resulted in early germination and high growth strength; hence seed treatment with any of the treatments will suffice in giving a better seed performance but for the sake of availability and accessibility of the treatments, hydro-treatment is most recommended.","PeriodicalId":298912,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Agricultural and Horticultural Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129018541","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}

Quality okra is essential for consumption and maximizing profits for okra producers and marketers. However, okra is perishable and limited in supply during the dry seasons. The stakeholders such as farmers, traders and consumers processed okra fruits to make them available all year round. Therefore, the objective of the study is to explore the effect of processing on nutritional value and microbial characteristics of okra fruits. The study involved both field survey and laboratory work among five okra producing communities within Sunyani Municipality Ghana, namely; Abesim, Atronie, Benu Nkwanta, Ayakomasu and Wawasua. Stratified sampling technique was used to select 50 farmers while purposive sampling technique was used to select 35 traders and 25 consumers, making a total of one hundred and ten respondents. Questionnaires were instruments used for the survey. Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four treatments was used and blocked five times to obtain data for laboratory analyses. Results from the study indicated that, variety of okra fruits most cultivated, sold and consumed was Asutem, July to September were identified to be the months of bumper harvest for farmers, declined in prices of okra fruits for traders and low purchasing prices of okra fruits for consumers. The processing methods identified for processing okra fruits were slicing, pounding/ milling and roasting. Nutritional analyses on techniques used for processing okra fruits in the study area, revealed that, fiber, ash and calcium contents (18.47 %, 9.7 % and 0.43 %) were higher in sliced okra fruits and carbohydrate content (48.34 %) was higher in roasted okra fruits. Microbial contamination analyses on techniques used for processing okra fruits, showed that, there were lower (1.24, 0.83, 1.73 and 0.66 log10 CFU/g of Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium spp, respectively) in roasted okra fruits.","PeriodicalId":298912,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Agricultural and Horticultural Research","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116297199","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}
