These soil nutrients are vital for the growth and development of plants, playing a crucial role in various essential functions. The current study investigates the dynamic changes in soil nutrient patterns across different land use scenarios and soil depths at Bandarban Sadar Upazila, Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh. The research focuses on how soil nutrient levels are distributed in two soil depths (0-15 cm and 15-30 cm) among three different land use practices, such as forest land, agricultural land and barren land. About 90 soil samples from the study area were collected using a stratified random sampling design. The analysis reveals significant variations in soil pH, organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (TN), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and sulfur (S) levels among these land use types and soil depths. The findings revealed that agricultural land typically exhibited higher levels of soil S content and pH, in contrast to forested areas where OM, TN, P, and K levels were comparatively more abundant. Again, barren land showed a relatively higher pH and S content than agricultural land and forest land. Additionally, the topsoil (0-15 cm) generally showed higher nutrient content than the deeper soil layer (15-30 cm). The investigation uncovered significant positive correlations of OM with soil nutrients such as TN, P, K & S, indicating mutual influences on their availability. Overall, the research outcomes emphasize the importance of sustainable land management practices to maintain soil fertility and optimize soil productivity in this ecologically significant region.","PeriodicalId":472295,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences","volume":" 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139623499","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}

Since performance of the genotypes depends on the genetic potential of the crop and the environment in which the crop is grown, this study aimed at the evaluation of yield performance and stability of six late set pigeon pea genotypes including the standard check. Yield performances were evaluated at five locations namely Bako, Billo, Gute, Uke and Chewaka in parts of western Oromia during 2021 main growing seasons. The experiment in each location was arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The results showed that the yield performances of late set pigeon pea genotypes were highly influenced by genotype-environment interaction (GEI). The yield components were significantly affected by GEI. The partitioning of the G + GE sum of squares showed that IPCA1 and IPCA2 were significant components which accounted for 29.72 % and 34.86 % of G + GE sum of squares, respectively. Highly significant mean square was observed for genotypes, genotypes by Environment interaction and environment indicating adaptation for high performance environments showing these genotypes were sensitive to environments and gave maximum yield when inputs are not limited. Genotypes ICEAP 01499 and ICEAP 01489 were stable and had relatively high yield performances across test environments. Hence, these two genotypes were identified as candidate genotypes to be verified for possible release in the subsequent season for Western Oromia and areas with similar agro-ecologies.","PeriodicalId":472295,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences","volume":"196 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136159409","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}

They are used for various purposes such as transport, drafting power, ploughing land, festivals, and rivalry as in dashing. The pastoral community utilizes their products such as milk and meat. However, they are also, susceptible to various diseases which can affect their health. One of the major diseases that affect camels is tuberculosis. Camel tuberculosis is a persistent disease that is characterized by the improvement of granulomas inside the breathing tract and associated lymph nodes. The mycobacteria are discharged from those granulomas and might contaminate different prone animals Camel tuberculosis is a chronic disease that is characterized by the development of granulomas in the respiratory tract and related lymph nodes. The mycobacteria are discharged from these granulomas and can contaminate other susceptible animals. Camel tuberculosis is a chronic disease that affects the respiratory system and the lymph nodes of the infected animals. It can also pose a public health risk in areas where people consume raw camel milk or have close contact with camels. The disease is caused by different types of mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium caprae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Mycobacterium bovis. The diagnosis of camel tuberculosis can be based on clinical signs, history, tuberculin skin tests, post-mortem examinations, bacteriological and molecular methods. Public awareness and control measures are needed to reduce the transmission of the disease and its economic impact.","PeriodicalId":472295,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135297193","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}
