This study aims to determine whether farmers’ demographic characteristics and readiness for the post-Covid-19 pandemic are related. This study reports the results of a survey in which 503 farmers in Peninsular Malaysia took part, using a structured questionnaire to examine farmers’ perceptions of their readiness for post-Covid-19 problems. Chi-square testing and cross-tabulation analysis were used to assess the factors influencing farmers’ perceptions of their readiness to meet the difficulties. According to the Chi-square test results, farmers’ age was significantly (p<0.05) correlated with their technological skills. The findings also show a significant correlation between education level towards technology, implementation, and decision-making skills (p<0.05). The results confirmed that farmers’ backgrounds and demography affected how farmers were able to prepare to face upcoming issues and challenges. Therefore, the government must assist farmers and train them to improve their backgrounds to lessen their vulnerability and increase their capacity to meet challenges following COVID-19. This study suggests solid outputs that will help extension agents to approach farmers based on their participation in a participatory approach to creating, introducing, and using technology related to readiness for any circumstances.","PeriodicalId":505090,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Agricultural and Food Research Journal","volume":"32 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141716198","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}

Rather than adding more areas and water to increase fish production, increased intensity of production per area is a more appropriate method. To increase production intensity, one of the main priorities that has become a continuous challenge during farming operations is maintaining good water quality, the first defence mechanism to secure fish growth and health in aquaculture systems. Other inventions related to fish husbandry, feed technology, and health, such as vaccines and probiotics development, are tested and implemented in the production systems, further emphasising the importance of water quality. Water quality determines system carrying capacity, further determining the maximum production a system can achieve. Ammonia is one of the most harmful wastes that must be managed in an aquaculture system. The capability of managing ammonia could increase systems’ carrying capacity tremendously, especially in super-intensive systems. This article discusses available methods of ammonia removal applied in biofloc technology, recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), aquaponic system and green water technology. The critical water quality parameters to be monitored for each method are briefly reviewed. In methods like these, biological processes for ammonia removal are pivotal. Therefore, adopting the appropriate engineering approach to support the biological processes is essential to improving ammonia removal performance.","PeriodicalId":505090,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Agricultural and Food Research Journal","volume":"9 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141353495","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 resort to acquiring polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes, medi – emitters, syringes needles, etc., as improvised emitters and install them in irrigation farms. This study uses a bicycle (Keke) air pressure valve as an emitter on the drip irrigation system. Rural farmers use air pressure valves to inflate their bicycle tubes, which is affordable and generally acceptable. The calibration and performance evaluation of the Keke emitter was done on sandy loam soil. The experiment involved using the Keke emitter to discharge water at 5, 10 and 20 minutes. Discharges were selected randomly and calculated using the volumetric method. It was observed that variations in flow volumes along the laterals are minor. For the 5, 10 and 20 minutes of applications, the average discharge was calculated to be 5.67, 10.48 and 20.3 Lh-1, respectively. Correspondingly, the uniformity coefficient was found to be 96.8%, 97.0% and 98.4%, and distribution uniformity was 97.4%, 98.1% and 98.9%, respectively. The uniformity coefficient was high, which describes the emitter as proper for discharging water into the field. This is a new dimension in economic drip irrigation technology and exploiting cheap materials in drip irrigation systems, especially for rural farmers in Nigeria and beyond.","PeriodicalId":505090,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Agricultural and Food Research Journal","volume":"1 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141383682","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}
