The aim of this study was to analyse the management of cereal crop residues in cotton-cereal farming to optimise their use as feed for draught cattle. A sample of 72 cotton farmers was selected from nine villages in the study area by the stratification method and interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. The quantities of cereal crop residue biomass collected by farmers were assessed directly in the field. The results showed that maize and sorghum stalks were predominantly used in cattle feed (86.1 and 90.3%), composting (50 and 44.4%), and mulching (26.9 and 25%), respectively. The average quantities of cereal crop residues stored were 0.83, 0.16, and 1.19 tonnes of dry matter (tDM) for crop farmers, livestock breeders, and agro-pastoralists, respectively, with respective fodder balances of -3.99, -29.05, and -16.99 Tropical Cattle Units (TCU) for the use of cattle, or -0.88, -0.38, and -1.81 TCU for the use of draught cattle during the lean season. Concentrated feed use was 0.20, 0.05, and 0.21 kg/cattle/day; respectively. The main factors influencing the quantities of cereal residues stored on the farms were the size of the cultivated areas and the farmers’ capacity for transportation. Provision of transport equipment and storage infrastructure would therefore appear to be a solution that could improve the level of fodder residue storage, particularly for draught oxen.","PeriodicalId":472416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of agricultural studies","volume":"43 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140703039","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}

In most of developing countries, interventions to promote entrepreneurship are typically limited to the provision of finance and coaching to build business capital and management skills. These interventions have shown mixed results as only few young enterprises last more than five years, suggesting the need to explore other drivers of entrepreneurial success. This review adds a contribution on the role of innovation in the performance of agricultural enterprises through a synthesis of the existing literature on the importance of innovation in entrepreneurial success. Our results highlight that young agricultural entrepreneurs face several challenges, including the perception from their pairs/community, limited access to production resources, climate change, poor access to technologies and market, lack of management skills, and lack of appropriate policy support. Their innovativeness depends on their ability to mobilize livelihoods assets such as financial capital, social, human and symbolic capitals. Ultimately, innovativeness allows young entrepreneur to tap into livelihoods assets-related opportunities to ensure the competitiveness and further the success of their business. We also elaborated a framework to analyze entrepreneurial performance in the agricultural sector.","PeriodicalId":472416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of agricultural studies","volume":"56 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138587430","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}

Hence, the study was conducted during the winter season of 2015-16 to evaluate twenty baby corn genotypes on the basis of quality, yield and yield contributing traits, and to find out the suitable genotype for yield maximization and quality improvement of baby corn through proper agronomic management. Twenty baby corn genotypes were planted in a randomized complete block design with three replications. As per result, the Baby Star genotype got highest cob yield with husk (11.9 t ha-1) and cob yield without husk (3.02 t ha-1) followed by Dream Sweet 3 and MSC 001. Maximum protein (11.03%) and starch content (57.03%) were recorded in Baby Star. The most total soluble solid (9.51%) was recorded in Dream Sweet-3 genotype. Baby star genotype followed by Dream Sweet 3 and MSC 001 were better than other genotypes in terms of yield attributes. Grouping of genotypes through multivariate (cluster) analysis on yield, yield attributes and quality parameters indicated that the cluster II showed higher performance among other clusters that means Baby Star, Dream Sweet-3 and MSC No.001 were better among twenty genotypes. Results suggest that Baby star followed by Dream Sweet-3 and MSC No.001 genotype can be recommended as potential baby corn genotypes for cultivation in Bangladesh and release as a variety. Some genotypes with specific features might be potential used in genetic resources for the future improvement of breeding program useful for baby corn expansion.","PeriodicalId":472416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of agricultural studies","volume":"13 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135725158","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}

Having been carried out at the Hydraulics Laboratory of the State University of Maringá, Umuarama Regional Campus, the performance of the methods was evaluated in the determination of five levels of moisture (10, 15, 20, 25, and 30%), with dry masses obtained at 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes for the gas oven and at 2, 4, 6 and 8 minutes for the microwave. The best drying times were selected using the Taylor Diagram. Linear regression was performed between the methods, in order to obtain the correlation coefficient (r), the Willmott agreement index (d), the performance index (c), absolute error (EA), absolute mean error (ERA), and root mean square error (RQME). By analyzing the results obtained, it can be stated that the gas oven method and the microwave method presented excellent performance when compared to the standard method. It was also concluded that the time of 25 minutes for the gas oven method was efficient and, for the microwave method, the drying time of 8 minutes was sufficient, meaning a reduction in the time for moisture determination.","PeriodicalId":472416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of agricultural studies","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136136055","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}
