This study evaluated the effect of land use on chemical and biochemical attributes, and relationships between environmental variables. We used a sampling design to collect soil samples at different depths in different agroecosystems. Soil samples from natural ecosystems (native Cerrado) and agroecosystems (cotton and sugarcane cultivation) were collected at 0–0.1 m, 0.1–0.2 m, 0.2–0.5 m, and 0.5–1.0 m from 12 areas in the State of Goiás, Brazil. Twelve chemical properties and two biochemical attributes (enzyme activity and microbial biomass carbon) were evaluated using a generalized linear model of variance and Tukey’s test with three factors: correlation between all soil attributes, multiple regression between soil attributes, and biochemical variables. Soil chemical and biochemical attributes were significantly affected by variable depth (p<0.05). Most of the metabolic activity in the soil occurred at 0 to 0.2 m, independent of land use class. Seasonality also affected enzyme activity in the soil, with higher activity during the rainy season. In contrast, microbial biomass carbon, an attribute generally related to organic matter and carbon mineralization, did not vary significantly with different soil depths and seasons. Thus, enzyme activity is an important indicator of soil fertility variations and is more sensitive than chemical and microbial parameters","PeriodicalId":8581,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Crop Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135005022","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}

P. vulgaris was sown after the removal of the aerial part of the selected green manure. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, and each green manure species was evaluated separately in a completely randomized design, with four replications. The treatments were arranged in a 3 x 5 factorial layout, consisting of three doses of indaziflam (0, 75 and 100g a.i. ha-¹) and five sowing times (5, 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after the herbicide application). According to the phytotoxicity and biometric evaluations of green manure, the potential species for the phytoremediation of the indaziflam were selected. The results showed that, apart from the species Lupinus albus, Canavalis ensiformis and Mucuna cinerea, the other green manure evaluated were highly susceptible to the herbicide indaziflam. However, although these potential species presented less control by indaziflam, none of them were effective in their soil phytoremediation. The bioindicator showed high phytotoxicity and reduction of dry mass due to the herbicide, regardless of the green manure sowing season on both doses of indaziflam. As a phytoremediator, none of the green manure species were effective for indaziflam even after 120 days of the herbicide application.","PeriodicalId":8581,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Crop Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135004863","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 experiment was set up following the randomized block design, three replications and 9m2 plot. To perform the treatments, it was used the commercial product H2 Protector with 300 ml ha-1 concentration and 150 L ha-1 flow rate with addition of mineral oil H2 Citrus. The treatments corresponded to the use of the bioprotector in different phenological stages of the soybean plants in a clinical way or overlapping applications in the previous stage: control, V4, R2, R5, V4+R2, V4+R5, R2+R5 and V4+R2+R5. The application of H2 Protector as bioprotector has biostimulant role in plants cultivated without stress conditions and must be applied with two applications to obtain high yield in soybean plants in V4+R2 or R2+R5 growth stages. The H2 Protector when applied in soybean plants in V4 growth stage increased growth and with a second application in R2 (V4+R2) resulted in higher yield of 17.3% corresponding to 636 kg ha-1 (kg hectare-1). H2 Protector when used in R2+R5 growth stages increase in 18.4% soybean grain yield corresponding to 678 kg ha-1.

Schott and tannia: Xanthosoma sagittifolium (L.) Schott] are staple tuber crops in many countries in Africa, Asia and the Pacific. This review aims to present the value of cocoyam as a minor tuber crop and the extent and challenges of its production in Africa. Cocoyams are primarily grown for their edible corms or cormels, although other parts, such as stalks, leaves and inflorescence, are used for human consumption. Cocoyams are categorized as neglected food crops mainly grown for subsistence use. Taro is more widely grown than tannia globally. Taro is cultivated all over Africa, although West and Central Africa are the main producing regions. Tannia is mainly grown in West Africa where it is still less common than taro. Production of tannia is generally minimal and rarely appears in cocoyam output statistics for the continent. Africa is the main producer of cocoyam, accounting for over 70% of the global output; the bulk of production occurs in the West and Central African region. Despite the high production, food value and economic opportunities, African cocoyam is rarely sold in the international markets. The crop is cultivated to meet food security at small-scale and family farms. It is mostly consumed and marketed locally in fresh state. Cocoyams are commonly produced by resource-limited smallholder farmers who are mostly women. The crop is cultivated on marginal lands where primitive technologies with little inputs are employed. The crop receives little attention from mainstream research organizations in Africa. Other constraints limiting cocoyam production in Africa include a shortage of planting materials, lack of improved high-yielding cultivars, and paucity of information on the proper agronomic practices, and insect pests and diseases, among others. Industrial use and new product developments of cocoyam in Africa should be explored to enhance the crop's economic value, and by extension attract research attention","PeriodicalId":8581,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Crop Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135005246","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 fumigation toxicity and bioactivity bioassay were investigated using vapor-phase test. Experiment was performed under completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 replications. Adult mortality, number of eggs and adult emergence of F1 progeny of C. maculatus were recorded. Chemical compounds of essential oils from dried seeds and fresh leaves of P. nigrum and P. retrofractum were determined at 22-27 components (90.34-93.27%). Major compounds in dried seeds and fresh leaves of P. nigrum and P. retrofractum were alpha-bergamotene, caryophyllene, beta-selinene, germacrene D, naphthalene, undecane, 5-octadecene, cyclohexene, limonene and 2-beta-pinene. Both essential oils contained limonene, linalool, caryophyllene and naphthalene in seeds and leaves. These four components showed insecticidal properties. Essential oils at concentrations of 5 µL/L air P. nigrum and 10 µL/L air P. retrofractum extracted from dried seeds were more effective in oviposition inhibition and adult emergence of C. maculatus than essential oils extracted from fresh leaves. P. nigrum essential oil from dried seeds at a concentration of 5 µL/L air was the highest efficiency of oviposition inhibition with 55.17% and adult emergence inhibition of 71.09% of C. maculatus.

The institute (formerly known as the National Genebank of Kenya) has to date amassed slightly over 51,000 (fifty-one thousand) accessions. Recently, GeRRI sought to forestall loss of germplasm in the hands of plant breeders/researchers from various local institutions. This was achieved by reaching out to these researchers and securing genetic materials i.e. advanced selections, breeder, pre-basic or basic seeds that need conservation. In addition, GeRRI sensitized the researchers on the existence of its conservation facilities which can be utilized to safeguard research materials. Visits were made to KALRO centres and local universities to enlighten the researchers/lecturers on availability of conservation facilities at GeRRI and to develop terms of engagement concerning depositing of seeds for safe custody. During the visits, a short questionnaire was administered to researchers by the GeRRI team. The questionnaire helped in gathering information about the various activities the researchers were engaged in, their understanding of GeRRI and her facilities as well as the services she offers. Only about 28 % of KALRO respondents have ever requested seeds from GeRRI compared to 42 % from the universities. These low percentages could be due to the fact that some researchers are not aware of the germplasm holdings at GeRRI and/or the process of requesting for the seeds. In addition, fewer respondents (about 17 % from universities and 8 % from KALRO centres) have ever deposited their seeds with GeRRI previously. Most local researchers keep their orthodox seeds in stores in paper bags/gunny bags/plastic bottles at room temperature.

This species yields high-quality wood for diverse applications and has a high value in phytosociological importance, but little has been done regarding an effective propagation method for large-scale production in nurseries. Alternatively, vegetative propagation techniques such as mini-cutting technology (an evolution of the cuttings technique) can be used, which has the potential to facilitate mini-stumps (stock plants), productive capacity, and vigour of the propagules (mini-cuttings). Therefore, this paper aimed to establish a protocol for vegetative propagation using the mini-cutting technique for Tabebuia aurea. For this, four independent experiments were conducted: the first evaluated the survival and production of mini-stumps between four harvests; the second tested the interaction between mini-cutting types (apical and intermediate) and different concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA; 0, 2.000, 4.000, and 6.000 mg.L-1) on adventitious rooting; the third analysed the effect of leaf area reduction (0%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) on mini-cuttings; and the fourth verified the substrate effect (100% coconut fibre, 50% coconut fibre + 50% commercial organic compost, and 100% commercial organic compost) on mini-cuttings rooting. The survival; percentage of rooted mini-cuttings; number of roots; length of the largest root; aerial dry mass; and root system dry mass were measured as response variables. The results indicated that all mini-stumps survived four harvests, remained productive, and produced propagules responsive to adventitious rooting. Rooting and mini-cutting survival rates were high, up to 80% without IBA, and the maximum mean setting value of 90% for apical mini-cuttings in the IBA concentration of 2000 mg.L-1 and 4000 mg.L-1 to intermediate mini-cuttings. Treatments without leaf reduction and with a reduction of 50% promoted better results concerning rooting and plant development. The substrate influences adventitious rooting; coconut fibre + organic compost (1:1) are indicated for the species propagation.
