Fenugreek production and productivity in the study area is very low as compared to its potential yield mainly due to inappropriate application of fertilizer rates and plant spacing. Hence, field experiment was conducted in 2022 at Wolaita Sodo, Ethiopia. The objective of study was to investigate and determine optimum inter row spacing and NPS fertilizer for growth and yield of fenugreek. Methods: Treatments consisted of four NPS fertilizer rates (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha-1) and four inter-row spacing (10, 20, 30 and 40 cm) that gave a total of 16 treatments laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Result: The ANOVA result indicated that the main effects of fertilizer rates, inter-row spacing and their interactions significantly (p less than 0.05) affected most traits investigated. Accordingly, the highest number of pod (17.10) and seed yield per plant (13.70 g) were recorded by application of 150 kg ha-1 NPS with 40 cm inter row spacing. The maximum total above ground biomass (3.46 t ha-1) and seed yield (1.60 t ha-1 ) were obtained by application of 150 kg ha-1 NPS with 10 and 20 cm inter row spacing, respectively. Moreover, the economic analysis revealed that the highest net benefit (279,130 ETB ha-1 ) with marginal rate of return of 2,976% was obtained by 150 kg NPS ha-1 with 20 cm inter row spacing. Hence, 150 kg ha-1 NPS with 20 cm inter row spacing could be recommended for production and productivity of fenugreek in Wolaita area.","PeriodicalId":503872,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Science Digest - A Research Journal","volume":"1 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141920135","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}

Additionally, the study sought to analyze the impact of using reclaimed wastewater for irrigation on earthworm density in the study area. Methods: Earthworm sampling was carried out at thirty emplacements within the study area during two measurement campaigns. Soil ECa was measured by (EM38). Result: The results showed that irrigation with reclaimed wastewater promotes the abundance of earthworms (earthworm density). Indeed, sites irrigated with reclaimed wastewater have higher earthworm densities compared to sites irrigated with conventional water. The results also show a strong correlation between ECa and earthworm density (R2 greater than 0.7). The Wilcoxon test indicates a non-significant difference between measured earthworm densities and those predicted by ECa (p greater than 0.5). This result confirms the effectiveness of the EMI technique as a tool to evaluate the spatial variability of soil biological parameters. These results collectively suggest that ECa represents a real possibility of reducing the number of earthworm samplings, whil ensuring the reliability of the estimates of real values of earthworm density and their surface spatial distribution. ECa could therefore be a useful tool to spatialize and predict the presence of earthworms in soil irrigated by reclaimed wastewater.\u0000","PeriodicalId":503872,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Science Digest - A Research Journal","volume":"42 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141807071","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 insect pest feeding on various crops which then it is preyed upon by diverse predators establishing an optimum food chain. With respect to the host plant interaction, it is of paramount importance to survey and identify the species prevailing the region and having the potential of causing a havoc to the host plant so as to initiate an effective pest management tactics. This research focuses on the species diversity of insect pest as well as biological control agents in the various crop ecosystem Methods: Sampling of the insects and spider fauna were studied for two years, 2022 and 2023. Samplings were conducted in LPU research farm using three sampling techniques such as yellow sticky trap, sweeping net, pheromone lures. Following sampling of the insects and spiders species diversity was assessed using various indices such as shannon weiner indec, pielous index, simpsons index, margalefs index, Brillouins index and berger parker index Result: 913 insects from 56 species and eight orders-Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Odonata, Orthopteraand Thysanoptera-as well as 9 species of spiders were recorded in the current study. Hemiptera, Lepidopteraand Coleoptera were the orders with the highest species abundance, while Hymenoptera was the least. Margalef’s richness index ranged from 0.26-2.6 and 0.21-2.72 respectively, evenness ranged between 0.06-0.20 and 0.08-0.22 and the diversity index for the first and second year, as indicated by the Shannon-Weiner index, varied from 0.11-0.30 and 0.14-0.34, respectively.

The principal underlying cause of India’s diminished groundnut production lies in the irregular and inadequate utilization of essential nutrients. Given its status as a leguminous oilseed crop, it exhibits a heightened demand for phosphorus, calcium and sulphur, which often remains unmet, further exacerbating the problem. Methods: In a field experiment, split-plot design was employed to investigate the impact of four phosphorus levels (Control, 40, 50 and 60 kg P2O5 ha-1) and four sulphur levels (Control, 25, 50 and 75 kg S ha-1) on the growth parameters of groundnut. Results: The findings demonstrate that the utilization of phosphorus and sulphur fertilizers yielded significant improvements in various aspects of groundnut growth parameters. These improvements encompassed increased plant height, root length, improved root-to-shoot ratio on a length and weight basis, greater numbers of root nodules per plant and dry weight of root nodules per plant.\u0000","PeriodicalId":503872,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Science Digest - A Research Journal","volume":"106 26","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141812435","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}
