However, studies have shown that poor nutrition is a major factor that contributes to the low growth rate and egg production in chickens. The objective in this study was to demonstrate and promote Ration A and B, for laying hens, to enhance egg production and household incomes. During the period 1 July 2018 to 31 March 2021, farmer groups interested in chicken production were selected in Embu and Tharaka Nithi counties. The criteria used in the selection of the farmer groups was chicken numbers, level of investment in chicken housing and equipment, interest in feed mixing, cohesion of farmer group, level of education and age of group members. Each farmer group was assigned a facilitator/ extension officer who trained its members on various aspects of chicken production with special emphasis on Ration formulation, mixing and feeding of laying hens. After mixing the Rations, samples were collected for chemical composition analysis so as to assess whether the Rations mixed met Kenya Bureau of Standards [KEBS] (2014) quality standards. At least three farmers within a group feeding the mixed Ration A or B to laying hens were selected to assess egg production. Prior to feeding on the Ration A or B, the same batch of birds in a farm was fed on commercial layers feed and egg production assessed. The results showed that (i) 3,968 farmers in Embu and Tharaka Nithi counties mixed and used 136,683 kg of Ration A and B to feed their laying hens, (ii) there was a 44.3% and 45.5% increase in egg production in households using Ration A and B, respectively, to feed their laying hens compared to commercial feeds.","PeriodicalId":332561,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Society of International Agriculture","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126798331","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 the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey 2014 data set, data of 164 farmers who provided agricultural mechanization services for rice production were extracted to evaluate the financial performance. Results showed that the duration of farmers’ operation to provide services for rice production was about 2.8 months/year on average. The profit of mechanization service delivery for rice production was about 17 million VND/year. The average return on sales ratio was about 56.4%. Regression results indicated that Kinh households had lower financial efficiency than other ethnic groups. If the main person in charge was the household's head, it was less effective than other family members. Variables of asset depreciation, labor outsourced, agricultural credit, and rice land area reduced the financial efficiency of agricultural service providers. Meanwhile, farmers who were men with primary income from rice production had higher financial efficiency in providing agricultural services.","PeriodicalId":332561,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Society of International Agriculture","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115749096","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, the industry has experienced several problems due to poor and uneconomical returns. The Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), former Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI), has been on the forefront of research in order to improve productivity of indigenous chicken. The KARI improved chicken technology has been promoted in wide agro-ecologies to curb the problem of poor productivity. KALRO, through the Korean Program for International Cooperation in Agricultural Technology (KOPIA) project, has been using this technology in two model villages namely Machakos and Kiambu for the past five years. This study was carried out to evaluate the impact of KARI improved chicken technology on food and household income. It is reported that 59% Machakos and 39% Kiambu farmers adopted this technology which as a result increased the adoption rate from 2% in 2008 to 59% in 2016. However, the adoption rate dropped in 2017 and started to rise again in 2018. In 2018, the number of eggs sold in both counties increased drastically, with Machakos experiencing the highest rise of 963% while Kiambu recording a 230% rise each month. This rise was mainly to the introduction of the improved KALRO chicken technique which laid between 180 and 250 eggs per year. This resulted in higher food and household revenue from egg sales. These findings demonstrated that the KARI improved chicken technology has enhanced household food and economic security.","PeriodicalId":332561,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Society of International Agriculture","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122623036","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, its productivity of garlic is less than half the world average. Lack of productive varieties and improved agronomic practices, as well as diseases and insect pests are the major causes of low productivity. The objective of the present study was to investigate an adaptive performance of some introduced garlic genotypes of Korean varieties in Ethiopia. The thirteen garlic genotypes were imported from the National Institute of Horticulture and Herbal Sciences (NIHHS), Rural Development Administration, Republic of Korea. The genotypes were tested for adaptation at Debre Zeit and Kulumsa agricultural research centers. Among the thirteen genotypes tested, only three genotypes Namdo, Daeseo, and Wangyo 57022 formed bulbs, while the remaining ten genotypes did not form bulbs despite the long growth period (179 days) taken to mature. The three genotypes had bigger bulbs and fewer but bigger cloves compared to the local varieties such as G-94-1/94, G-104-1/94, and Holeta local. A follow up replicated trial comparing Namdo with three local varieties was undertaken at Kulumsa. The replicated trial also showed that Namdo had better yield than the three local varieties. Moreover, it produced bigger bulbs and cloves than all the local varieties, which eases household and industrial processing of cloves. Therefore, verification of Namdo for production in Ethiopia could provide a better option for processing garlic.","PeriodicalId":332561,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Society of International Agriculture","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115539049","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}

Japonica rice is mainly cultivated in temperate regions, including Korea, Japan, and China (northeast regions) due to its poor adaptation to tropical areas. To develop tropically-adapted high-yielding japonica rice, breeders should overcome the challenges, including extremely early flowering, low biomass accumulation, and inferior panicle traits. This study investigated 180 F9 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from a cross between Ilpum (temperate japonica) and Zenith (indica) as a case population to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that influence the said traits. Here we identified two major QTLs, qHD6-SD and qHD6- LD, conferring days to heading under short day (SD) and long day (LD) conditions, respectively. Finer mapping revealed that both qHD6-SD and qHD6-LD located in the similar 98 kb region harbored the Hd1 gene. Days to heading in the RILs harboring the Zenith allele type of qHD6-SD under SD conditions were significantly longer than those in the RILs harboring the Ilpum allele type. On the contrary, days to heading in the RILs harboring the Zenith allele type of qHD6-SD under LD conditions were significantly shorter than those in the RILs harboring the Ilpum allele type. This bi-functionality of qHD6-SD upon heading strongly support the claim that both qHD6-SD and qHD6-LD might be the Hd1 gene. Our findings further support the claim that the functional allele type of Hd1 gene delays long-day heading and promotes extremely early short-day heading. Therefore, a non-functional Hd1 type is critical to tropical adaptation of japonica rice since it delays the heading date, which is essential to attain prolonged vegetative state in order to achieve optimum biomass, increased spikelet number, and grain filling capacity.","PeriodicalId":332561,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Society of International Agriculture","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129770715","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}
