Thus, the only factor that can be used as a differentiator from similar products is the quality of the products. This research was conducted at PT Candi Loka, which is engaged in agribusiness, namely tea processing. This research aims to (1) determine the problems faced by PT Candi Loka as related to the quality of tea production, (2) identify the factors that most influence the quality of tea at PT Candi Loka, and (3) formulate the most appropriate solution to be applied in an effort to improve the quality of tea production at PT Candi Loka. The basic method in this research was the descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data analysis was performed through using the techniques of check sheet, stratification, pareto charts, and fishbone charts. The results of this study comprised the Pareto diagram that showed the existence of deviations in the quality of dry tea products produced in March 2022, namely the pekoe products had lower quality than the standards set by the company. Check sheets and stratification showed the factors that influenced the quality of tea products at PT Candi Loka, namely (a) human factor, which included: lack of care in applying drying temperature, inadequacy of labor knowledge, lack of worker discipline, the large number of  workers who  were at unproductive age, lack of work contracts between the plantation foreman and the pickers; (b) raw materials, which included: damaged and rough (old) materials, the large number of plants that were not productive; (c) work method, which included: unstable withering and drying temperatures, non-specialized work systems, sales based on order system; (d) machine, which included: overly old machines, dirty machine conditions; (e) environment, which included: uncertain weather and temperature, decreasing soil fertility. Fishbone analysis was used to determine the most dominant factors in the final product, namely pekoe with inferior standard. The factors that influenced the pekoe products with lower standard consisted of damaged and rough (old) shoots and unstable temperature during processing (withering and drying). From the results of the analysis, recommendations are offered for improvements that can be implemented by PT Candi Loka, namely improving its picking system to improve the quality of raw materials, providing appropriate temperatures at the processing stage (withering and drying) and making quality manuals based on performance.","PeriodicalId":415976,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Crop Science","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124896076","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 objective of this study was to analyze the effect of the genotype by environment interaction of sugar beet across various locations using multivariate models. Data for studied traits of sugar beet were obtained from experiments at three regions: Saint Catherine, South Sinai Governorate (E1); Baloza station, North Sinai Governorate (E2); and East El- Qantra station, El-Ismailia Governorate (E3) in Egypt. All examined traits were significantly impacted (p <0.05 or 0.01) by environment (E), genotypes (G), and their interaction (GEI) using the AMMI model, with the exception of root length/plant by the environments as well as leaves weight/plant and total soluble solids percentage % traits by the genotypes. GEI was partitioned into two principal components (PCs), which were significant for all studied traits (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01). The highest variability from the total variance was recorded by environmental influences for leaves weight/plant and total soluble solids percentage % traits, as well as by genotype effects for the other studied traits. The environmental index showed that some environments were favorable and some environments were unfavorable for the two traits. The highest root weight/plant and most studied traits were noticed in the E2 environment. Based on the GGE model for root weight/plant, the test environments E1 and E2 are more representative and have the greatest ability to discriminate genotypes, thus favoring the selection of superior genotypes. The genotypes G2, G5, and G6 perform best in the E1 and E2 environments as well as are the most productive and stable compared with the other genotypes. According to PCA and cluster analysis, the genotypes G5 and G6 showed the best performance in response to environments and positive association with root weight/plant and most studied traits. Based on the results of statistical methods used in this study, G5 and G6 genotypes should be used in future sugar beet breeding in an effort to improve productivity and sustainable production of sugar beet in Egypt.","PeriodicalId":415976,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Crop Science","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116019876","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 were three replications of the experiment, which was set up using a randomized full block design. The experiment comprises four varieties viz. BARI Gom-28, BARI Gom-30, BARI Gom-31, BARI Gom-32 and five levels of N viz. Control, 90 kg N ha-1 from prilled urea (PU), 57 kg N ha-1 from prilled urea (PU) + 3 t ha-1 poultry manure (PM) as organic N source, 62 kg N ha-1 from PU + 5 t ha-1 cowdung as organic N source, 29 Kg N ha-1 from PU + 4 t ha-1 vermicompost as organic N source. The outcome of the experiment revealed that there were substantial differences in the growth and yield of wheat due to different varietal effects and application of organic and inorganic nitrogen fertilizers, although some of the attributes were not found significant. At growth, BARI Gom-32 produced the highest number of total tillers hill-1 and leaf area index, while the highest number of total tillers hill-1 and leaf area index were obtained from 57 kg N ha-1 from PU and 3 t ha-1 PM at 20, 40, 60 and 80 DAS. At harvest, the highest number of effective tillers plant-1 (2.82), filled grain spike-1 (32.06), 1000-grain weight (61.07 g), grain yield (3.94 t ha-1), straw yield (5.85 t ha-1) and harvest index (40.11%) were obtained from BARI Gom-32. While, application of 57 kg N ha-1 from PU and 3 t ha-1 PM produced the tallest plant (95.49 cm), number of total tillers plant-1 (3.96), number of effective tillers plant-1 (3.20), filled grain spike-1 (36.61), 1000-grain weight (60.18 g from T5), grain yield (4.34 t ha-1), straw yield (6.23 t ha-1) and harvest index (41.07%).

Seed priming with different signaling molecules can efficiently confer this problem. Therefore, the present study was conducted to explore the potentiality of different signaling molecules such as salicylic acid (SA) and gibberelic acid (GA3) to increase germination and growth of bitter gourd. \u0000Place and Duration of the Study: The study was conducted in the Department of Seed Science and Technology, Bangladesh Agricultural University, from September-October, 2022. \u0000Methodology: The bitter gourd seeds were soaked in 1mM, 2mM and 3mM GA3, and 3mM, 6mM and 9mM SA solutions for 1 hour. The untreated seeds were used as control. Seeds were germinated in petri dishes and data on germination was collected. Then seedlings were transplanted to pot after 7 days to record growth parameters at 15th day of establishment. \u0000Results: The experiment's findings indicated that lower concentrations of SA and GA3 had a beneficial effect, however greater levels significantly reduced the bitter gourd's ability to germinate and develop in comparison to the control. Findings of the study showed priming concentrations of 3mM SA, 6mM SA, and 1mM GA3, markedly improved the germination percentage, shoot and root length, seedling vigour, and fresh and dry weight of the shoot and root, RWC of bitter gourd. \u0000Conclusion: Pretreatment with SA and GA3 was observed to be relatively more efficient in increasing germination of bitter gourd compared with control. Overall, this study suggests that bitter gourd seed priming 3mM SA, 6mM SA, and 1mM GA3 can improve germination and growth.","PeriodicalId":415976,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Research in Crop Science","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132512702","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}

To know the genetic diversity and agromorphological characteristics under striga infestation of this cereal in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Cameroon, a survey near to 230 farmers were done. Survey was followed by a collection of rainfed sorghum accessions in 2015 and 2016 in 16 villages of the 4 Divisions namely Mayo-Danay, Mayo-Kani, Mayo-Louti and Mayo-Rey of North. The field trials were conducted in Touboro from 2016 to 2017 with a split plot design and composed of 24 factors (accessions) in a naturally striga-infested plot. Results showed that sorghum ecotypes varied significantly (P < .05) according to sorghum height, stem diameter, number of leaves, panicle weight and seed yield. Eight (8) genetic and agro-morphological diversity groups were defined from Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Ascendant Classification (HAC). These groups are distinguished by the r=0.988 value of the similarity coefficient. Surveys resulted in 14 endogenous striga control techniques divided into three categories, namely cultural control, chemical control and biological control. The agro-morphological parameters that determine the choice of ecotype by the farmers were among others edaphic constraints, climatic constraints, pest pressure, taste quality, culinary uses, glume and grain color, duration of the ripening cycle which can be very early, early and late. Mbayeeri accessions such as LMO-LT18; LMO-LT19; LMO-LT20; LMO-LT21; LMO-LT22; LMO-LT23 and GD-LT03 were more solicited by farmers because of their resistance to striga and their adaptation in flooded soil despite the late development cycle. While the accessions TO-MPP15; KW-CP09; GD-CP14; GDO-MP07; GD-MP04 and LMO-CP17 were appreciated by farmers because of their earliness and resistance to striga. Some ecotypes namely GD-MP04, LMO-LT18, TO-MPP15, SD-CPP11, ZD-CPP12, LMO-LT19 and LMO-LT23 were more solicited and well appreciated by women to prepare local beer according to taste quality and striga tolerance. While, accessions like KW-MPP08, GDO-MP07, LMO-LT20, LMO-LT21 and LMO-LT22 were very well appreciated for couscous and porridge food prepared by women.
