In order to conduct the study, 136 poultry farmers were sampled. The study's respondents were chosen using a two-stage sampling technique. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to the primary data, which were gathered using a questionnaire and an interview schedule. According to survey results, the majority (65%) of respondents were men with a mean age of 44 years. The majority of respondents (90%) were married, and the average household size was 5 persons. The study also revealed that 1795 birds on average were kept in stock, and that 50% of farmers had tertiary education. Further analysis of the results reveals that 73% of the respondents had no contact with extension services. The outcome also demonstrates a significant level of loan default among farmers with 65% not repaying their loans as agreed. Poultry farmers in the study area obtained financing from both conventional and informal credit institutions. Age, educational attainment, household size and income were shown in the logit regression results to be the important factors influencing loan repayment among poultry farmers. The study recommended funding organizations to support farmers while also educating them on the need for loan repayment. Government and other agricultural stakeholders should make sure that farmers have access to formal education because research results indicate that farmers' educational attainment has a major impact on loan repayment. All the important factors that affected loan repayment should be taken into account when formulating policy. Interest rates on loans from official sources like commercial banks should be reduced. Informal sources should be supported so that farmers in the study area would have wider access to alternative sources of loans.","PeriodicalId":480205,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135645687","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}

Therefore, food and agricultural production activities can be continuously produced without damaging the ecosystems and environment. One that can be used is a plant biostimulant based on humus. This research was conducted to examine the effect of humic acid as a soil biostimulant and the impact of its use on the yield of seedless watermelon cultivated on marginal land. This study involve IoT technology through monitoring soil quality which is carried out based on the concept of precision agriculture using the farm management system (FMS) Agrooscan tool. Methods: The study used humic acid factor for five treatments (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 g/L). Observations included soil conditions monitored with Agrooscan instruments such as soil pH, nutrients (N, P, K), as well as measuring plant height, fruit weight, fruit volume and total sugar content (Brix). Results: The results showed that application of humic acid increased the nutrient content in the soil and significantly affected soil pH and seedless watermelon yields. The 8 g/L treatment gave the highest soil N and K values, and was significantly different from no treatment (control). Conclusions: Thus, exogenous use of humic acid as a soil nutrient supplement can be used to help increase marginal land use, including in the development of seedless watermelon cultivation. The use of Agrooscan as a tool to scan soil conditions plays a very important role in maintaining the quality of nutrients so that the growth of watermelon cultivation can run better.","PeriodicalId":480205,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135900765","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}

This research was carried out at the agricultural land that located in Kumendung Village, Muncar District, Banyuwangi Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia. Four soil amendment concentrations (P1: 7.5 ml/liter, P2: 10 ml/liter, P3: 12.5 ml/liter, P4: 15 ml/liter) were tested on 132 watermelon plants in a randomized block experimental design. The results showed that the concentration of soil amendment affected the nutrient content of the soil with the highest concentrations in P1 and P3. Even though soil pH is relatively stable, the concentration of soil amendment affects the nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) content in the soil. In terms of plant growth, P3 concentration consistently provide a better plant height at various stages of observation. The fruit yield is also affected by the used of concentration of soil amendment, P3 treatment produces the highest fruit weight and fruit yield of P1 concentration have the highest level of sweetness. Based on the observation results, application of the right soil amendment concentration will increase growth and yield of seedless watermelon, which in this study the best yield obtained with P3 (12.5 ml/liter) application. These results could give an important implication to improving the productivity of seedless watermelon cultivation, especially in areas that have less fertile soil, such as Kumendung Village, Banyuwangi.","PeriodicalId":480205,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135901099","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}

This study is one of the pioneers in the area. The aim of this research was to follow the growth in nursery and the physiological behavior of 12 native avocados from the municipality of Ometepec, Guerrero, Mexico, in order to explore their possible use as rootstocks. Thus, 20 fruits per tree of each genotype were harvested, and they were sown on substrate (85% river lama, 5% peat moss and 10% agrolite), at one month of age. A randomized complete block design was used with 12 treatments (each genotype was considered as treatment) and four repetitions. An analysis of variance and Tukey's means tests were performed (P ≤ 0.01 and 0.05) and LSD (P ≤ 0.05). The most vigorous rootstock was OME-7, followed by OME-10. The OME-7 showed higher NO3- and Na+ content; while OME-8, was superior in K+ and Ca++. The length*width of the avocado leaves, multiplied by its conversion factor (0.991), estimated a foliar area very similar to that obtained by the leaf area integrator. It was concluded that the OME-7, OME-3 and OME-10 rootstocks, were the most vigorous and they meet all the characteristics to be used as rootstocks.","PeriodicalId":480205,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136011456","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}

Analytical tools used to analyse the data were descriptive statistics, Marketing margin, rate of return ratio and net marketing margin.This study revealed that onion marketing was predominantly dominated by married males. With regards to marketing margin analysis the study revealed that onion marketing was profitable with a margin of N745/50kg and N425/50kg at peak and off-peak period were realised. The net marketing margin of N1170/50kg indicating high profit. The study recommended that there is need for onion marketer to create a more community base storage facility that would accommodate large number of onions and also serves as a measures to be taken to avoid the loss of onion at marketing stage. However, Onion marketer’s association leaders should be very active and partner with financial institutions so as to easily have access to loans at reduced interest rate. This would help the onion marketers to have more capital base and in turn improve their business and their living standard.","PeriodicalId":480205,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136062277","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}
