Understanding and knowing the logic of climate change and its repercussions, as well as socializing this knowledge, is vital to raising awareness of the need for a cultural change in the ways of producing and living in society. Climate change is a product, mainly, of high emissions of Greenhouse Gases (GHG), emitted in the productive and social activities of human beings. To properly understand this global problem, we begin with the approaches, diagnoses, evaluations and reports of the UN, ECLAC, FAO, WHO, WHOSA, among others; whose assessments and estimates have been oriented towards the low effectiveness of mitigation actions; The temperature on the planet has increased almost 0.18°C each year since 1981. At the national level, the reports of the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) were analyzed, named “Updating the National Inventory of Gas Emissions and Greenhouse Compounds, 1990-2019”; and the report prepared by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), called “The State and Perspectives of Climate Change in Mexico: a Starting Point”; as well as the temperature reports from the National Water Commission (CONAGUA) and the National Meteorological Service (SMN), which coincided in the progressive increase in temperature in Mexico. Livestock farming is part of this problem, at the same time it suffers the consequences of global warming. It emits just over 14% of GHGs and suffers the consequences, mainly droughts, causing a high mortality of livestock, particularly in the north of the country, which could cause a lower supply of foods of animal origin that would threaten food security.","PeriodicalId":407722,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"97 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138998757","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}

For rice cultivation in salt-affected areas, more effective techniques are required to remediate the saline soils for lowing salinity to secure rice growth and productivity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential reclamation of compost and biochar in laboratory experiment using a saline soil sample from the rice cropping system. Our hypothesis was that the addition of compost and biochar might improve the infiltration rate, resulted in more effectively salts removing from saline soil. The experiment was set up with compost and biochar at rates of 5 g kg-1, 10 g kg-1 and 20 g kg-1, respectively and 10 g kg-1 compost combined with 10 g kg-1 biochar. Soil chemical characteristics such as amount of Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ cations removed from soil into eluent by leaching, soil availabe N, P after finishing leaching were analyzed. Results indicated that all compost and biochar amendments enhanced Na+ leaching process. This study proved that material amendment such as 20g kg-1 biochar and 10g kg-1 compost plus 10g kg-1 biochar could speed up water infiltration. Compost additions increase the available N and P content in the soil after leaching.

The aim of the present study was qualitative and quantitative phytochemical screening, determination of total phenol and total flavonoid content, and free radical scavenging activity of different parts of ethnomedicinally used plants collected from the western region of Nepal. The phytochemical screening of most of the extract showed the presence of phenols, carbohydrates, flavonoids, and glycosides. The ethanolic flower extract of Callicarpa macrophylla showed a higher phenolic content with a value of 195 ± 7.33 µg GAE/mg. Ethyl acetate extract of Elephantopus scaber root revealed the highest amount of flavonoid content with the value of 1692.31 ± 34.79 µg QE/mg of extract, followed by ethanolic flower extract of Callicarpa macrophylla. Ethanolic flower extract of Callicarpa macrophylla showed potent DPPH free radical scavenging activity with a half inhibitory concentration of 7.28 µg/ml. In contrast, Elephantopus scaber ethyl acetate root extract revealed the maximum free extreme scavenging properties among all the ethyl acetate extracts. From the experiment, the free radical scavenging potential of ethanolic flower extract of the Callicarpa macrophylla was comparable with ascorbic acid. This comparable activity may be attributed to higher phenols and flavonoid content in ethanolic extract. The result signifies that the ethanolic extract of Callicarpa macrophylla acts as an antioxidant and may contain a potent bioactive compound which, with further investigation, may lead to a novel compound.","PeriodicalId":407722,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126950297","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}

Organic Rice producing paddies and non-organic Rice producing paddies in Lowa and ikperejere were sampled during and after rice harvest. The sources of organic enhancement used by the farmers were poultry droppings, cow dung and pig waste which were occasionally mixed with wood shavings. And these are sources of nutrients as well as organic matter. Two (2) rice paddies in Lowa and Ikperejere area in Ihitte Uboma L.G.A in Imo state were used.

The broad objective of this research was to determine the effect of humic acid (HA) on soil properties, growth and yield of maize in southern guinea savannah. The parameters measured includes, plant height (cm), number of leaves, stem girth (cm), fresh cob weight (g), dry cob weight (g), fresh biomass (g), dry biomass (g), cob length (cm) cob diameter(cm), 100 grains weight (g) and total yield (kg). The experiment had eight (8) treatments (T1 = Control, T2 = HA10, T3= HA20, T4= HA30, T5= RNPK, T6= 1/3RNPK+HA30, T7= 1/2RNPK+HA30 and 2/3RNPK+HA30) which were replicated three (3) times and the experimental design was randomized complete block design (RCBD). From the result obtained, the HA concentrate has high pH (10.07), high in carbon (36.48) and high HA percentage (92.00). Pre-cropping soil analyses confirm the soil to be acidic (4.85), low in nutrient and the textural class is sand. Post-cropping soil analyses showed HA10 helped reduce soil pH the most (5.22) and application of HA generally help increase the concentration of micronutrients. The application of HA on maize had no significant (p<0.05) influence on the plant height, number of leaves, stem girth and most of the yield parameters tested with the exception of 100grain weight and total yield. Treatment 2/3RNPK+HA30 had a seed weight (21.50) which is statistically same with treatment RNPK (21.67).The total yield of maize gotten in this study showed that treatment HA10 had the highest yield (2.93) after treatment RNPK (3.53).Therefore, long term studies are required in the study location to know if positive responses will be observed on soil properties and growth of crops with the application of HA.","PeriodicalId":407722,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122318799","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}

Samples were collected from three dump areas at a depth of 0-30cm, and fallow lands of about 50 meters away from the dumps were also sampled for reference. The samples were subjected to analysis and Heavy metals were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The findings indicated that sewage increased the soil concentrations of Heavy Metals (0.19 Hg, 17.0 Pb, and 3.0 Cd Mg/Kg1) when compared with control (0.04 Hg, 1.4 Pb, and 0.29 Cd Mg/Kg1). These were not high when compared with established permissible limits according to FEPA WHO. These concentrations were not high to cause health challenges. Many scientist reported that not all sewage sludge contains high amount of heavy metals especially when allowed to decompose for a longer period of 4 years even without prior treatment, but repeated application can increase levels. Sewage Sludge also increased N, P, K, Ca, Mg, K and ECEC and this may triggered the reason of continuous planting by farmers in dumpsites due to the fact that sewage sludge can increase the nutrient content of soil and improves its physical and chemical properties. Organic matter content which is also of great importance in soil reaction was increased by the sewage sludge deposit. The deposit of sewage sludge added organic matter, improved the soil physical and chemical properties, at the same time increased the heavy metals levels. But the heavy metals levels were not above permissible limits for heavy metal concentrations in soils. It is therefore recommended to land spray the sludge and allowed to decompose for about 2 years before planting on it. The result was discussed in-line with heavy metals in questions and permissible limits for each.","PeriodicalId":407722,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"174 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131263758","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}
