Soil samples were taken from the five major district of the LGA at the depth of 0-20cm using soil sampling auger. The samples were then analyzed using the standard procedures. Results obtained indicated that the mean pH value was 6.45 with 2.97 % coefficient of variability (CV). The mean electric conductivity (EC) showed non saline (0.17dSm -1 ); while organic carbon (OC) content of the soils was very low (1.03g kg -1 ). Micronutrients mean concentrations indicated low limit for boron (B) (0.35mg kg -1 ), moderate values (0.24mg kg -1 ) for copper (Cu), high concentration of iron (Fe) (5.07mg kg -1 ) and manganese (Mn) (3.12mg kg -1 ), while zinc (Zn) was found to low (0.99mg kg -1 ) in the soils. All the assessed micronutrients showed moderate variability except Zn which is the least. Cu (r -0.243), Fe (r -0.370), Mn (r -0.028) and Zn (r -0.196) showed negative correlation with pH, while only B (r = 0.043) and Zn (r = 0.285) showed positive correlation with EC. Except for zinc all other micronutrients tested showed positive relationship with OC. The nutrient fertility index of the soils indicated moderate fertility level for B (1.95), Cu (1.80) and Fe (2.00), while Mn (3.00) and Zn (1.50) showed high and low fertility level respectively. The soil management strategies need to put into consideration micronutrients supplement and addition of organic matter.","PeriodicalId":355533,"journal":{"name":"Azarian Journal of Agriculture","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131252393","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 obtained show that the studied settlements were composed mainly of small wood whose diameter varies between 7.5 and 22.5 cm.

The ideal densities calculated for plots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13 and 14 are higher than the current densities, so it is essential to practice reforestation operations.

To observe the effect, different doses of acetylsalicylic acid were administered orally to each group of pigeons except one group which was kept as unmedicated (control group).

The Djelfa region, like other steppe regions, is affected by this threat. This study aims to quantify the effects of desertification on the different components of the ecosystem in 11 stations located geographically in the Djelfa region. The floristic analysis identified 153 species belonging to 40 families and 110 genera’s. The Edaphic study showed that the studied soils were characterized by high levels of sand and limestone, and low levels of organic matter. In terms of correlations, we find that electrical conductivity decreases when the coarse sand rate increases. The coverage rate of the therophytes is well correlated with the Shannon index with r = 0.89 and the specific diversity with r = 0.74. The equitability index is correlated with chaméphytes and hemicryptophytes species, respectively with r = 0.75 and 0.62.

Quantification of variability for each character done by Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index was subjected to Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCO) and Cluster Analysis. The qualitative characters exhibited low variation while the quantitative characters showed high variation. The Pooled values showed medium variability (0.596). The genotypes were grouped into five clusters. Cluster II had thirteen genotypes, while cluster IV and V had two each. The highest inter-cluster distance was observed between II and IV, while the lowest was III and V. The highest intra-cluster distance was found in cluster I. The inter-genotype distance was the highest between BARI Alu-22 and BARI Alu-41, and the lowest was between BARI Alu-42 and BARI Alu-34. The varieties of cluster IV earned the highest mean value for days to 80% emergence, foliage coverage, plant vigor, primary stem/hill, secondary leaflet and primary leaflet pairs. First four principal components accounted for 93.35% of the total variation. From the scree plot, four sample principal components effectively summarized the total variance.

Potato variety BARI TPS-1 was used as an experimental crop. The experiment was consisted of two factors, i.e ., factor A:-Vermicompost level (Vm 1-4 ): Vm 1 : 0 t ha -1 (control), Vm 2 : 3 t ha -1 , Vm 3 : 6 t ha -1 and Vm 4 : 9 t ha -1 ; factor B:- Tuber size (T 1-5 ): T 1 : 5-10 g, T 2 : 10-20 g, T 3 : 20-30 g, T 4 : 30-40 g and T 5 : >40 g. The research exhibited that vermicompost had a significant effect on most of the quality contributing parameters investigated under the experiment. Results exhibited that processing quality parameters increased with increasing vermicompost level irrespective of tuber size. Among the twenty (20) treatment combinations, vermicompost at the rate of 9 t ha -1 with tuber size >40 g produced the minimum total soluble solids (4.55% Brix), minimum sucrose (0.2947 mg g -1 FW) and maximum skin color (L* 67.38, a* 15.38, b* 26.60). In respect of ambient storage condition total soluble solids (TSS), sucrose slowly increased with increasing storage time up to 40 days after storage (DAS) and finally became non-suitable for both table and processing purpose; while skin color decreased with increasing storage time.

The treatment included: goat manure, sesame (til) cake, mustard seed cake, poultry manure, Furacron (carbofuran), vermicompost and untreated control including only chemical fertilizer (NPK). All treatments were added to provide a sufficient amount of nitrogen required for the crop as per the recommendation. The remaining amount of required phosphorous and potassium was supplied by adding single super phosphate and muriate of potash, respectively. All treatments, except poultry manure had significantly superior germination at 7 days after seeding (DAS). Similarly, all treatments compared with control had significantly less gall index at 70 DAS; Furacron had least gall index at both 60DAS and 70DAS. The highest net profit was found in the case of poultry manure while the highest incremental cost-benefit ratio was obtained in Furacron. The highest yield (20t ha -1 ) and least number of galls were obtained in poultry manure which was as effective as a Furacron treatment. This experiment suggests the use of either poultry manure or Furacron, both of which will provide higher economic return and decrease the root-knot nematode in okra. However, use of carbofuran has recently been banned in Nepal.","PeriodicalId":355533,"journal":{"name":"Azarian Journal of Agriculture","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125783365","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}
