Performance of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Under Different Supplementary Irrigation and Nitrogen Fertilizer Levels in Humera, Northern Ethiopia

Field experiment was conducted in Humera in 2015 main cropping season in a factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) to study the performance of sesame under different supplementary irrigation applications and nitrogen fertilizer rates. The study consists of four levels of nitrogen fertilizer rates (0kg N2/ha, 23kgN2/ha, 37.5kgN2/ha and 46kgN2/ha) and three levels of supplementary irrigation; rain-fed (I0), four irrigations (I4), and six irrigations (I6). Nitrogen fertilizer was applied in two splits, with the first half at sowing and the remaining half 30 days after emergence. Data on plant height, number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, thousand seed weight, harvest index, aboveground biomass and grain yield were recorded. The analysis of variance (ANOVA), in indicated that application of nitrogen fertilizer significantly (p<0.05) affected sesame grain yield. The highest grain yield 423.4kg/ ha, and 455kg/ha was obtained from application of 46kg nitrogen per hectare, and six supplementary irrigation. The results obtained in this experiment showed that, application of supplementary irrigation could be an important climate change adaptation strategy in areas where onset and cessation of rainfall occur.

Can You Grow An Instant Pollinator Paradise?

Can You Grow An Instant Pollinator Paradise? https://ift.tt/BKPrhcf Askew and colleagues have developed a method to grow pollinator-friendly plant communities as sod, potentially turbo-charging how we establish diverse gardens. The team found that growing a variety of flowering plants over plastic produces robust, movable sod within 18 months. The researchers tested different foundation species to improve sod strength. While hard fescue and yarrow created stronger sod, they reduced plant diversity. Native grasses offered a good balance, allowing for both sod strength and plant variety. Interestingly, sod grown over plastic was strong enough to transplant regardless of the foundation species used. The team studied plant establishment by seeding 20 different pollinator-friendly plants along with various foundation species. They monitored plant establishment, diversity, and sod strength over three years. The sod was then transplanted to test its ability to root in a new location. The most successful approach to producing sod for pollinator-serving plant communities appears to be growing a variety of forbs over plastic without a foundation species or with a mixture of native grasses.

The University of Iowa lidera projeto no Centro-Oeste dos EUA para superar mudanças climáticas

Objetivo é criar soluções de engenharia que abordem problemas críticos enfrentados pelas comunidades rurais: uso racional da água em operações agrícolas, combate aos incêndios florestais, mitigar o estresse calórico.

The University of Iowa has been awarded a $6 million, four-year National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to lead a multistate collaboration with universities, local governments, health care providers, and other experts on a project that will help Midwest agricultural communities grappling with effects of severe weather, such as floods, droughts, and heat waves.

A network of small, low-cost sensors invented by UI researchers will be placed in local fields and neighborhoods across Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Arkansas to gather measurements of soil temperature and moisture, air temperature, relative humidity and surface pressure, and other weather and soil data points. These measurements will be used to produce model forecasts of weather that will be delivered in real time to individuals in ag-communities via phone apps and interactive on-demand virtual systems.

Through local partnerships and data training, the hyper localized forecasts will help individuals and communities in a variety of ways: Manage water usage and agricultural field operations; Recognize when and where environmental factors such as heat waves or smoke from wildfire are harmful to health; Strategically use resources to mitigate heat stress, such as by building greenspaces. Grow the local workforce by instilling technical skills and demand for data analytics, operation of unmanned arial vehicles, irrigation systems, and elements of precision agriculture intended to create more economically resilient communities.

“This significant NSF award underscores the University of Iowa’s role in creating engineering solutions to address critical issues facing our rural communities. Through collaborations such as these we can continue to raise the bar in transformative research, benefiting all Iowans,” says Ann McKenna, dean of the UI College of Engineering.

The project, called Data-Advanced Research and Education (DARE), is under the guidance of Principal Investigator Jun Wang, UI’s James E. Ashton Chair of Engineering, departmental executive officer of chemical and biochemical engineering, and the assistant director for the Iowa Technology Institute.

“Ag-based communities in the central U.S. are disproportionally affected by climate change,” Wang says. “The DARE project, in partnerships with various state and local stakeholders, will strengthen communities’ resilience and grow the next generation workforce to tackle the impacts of severe weather and climate change.”

Faculty and staff from 10 departments and schools across the UI Colleges of Engineering, Medicine, and Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Graduate College are contributing to the study.

The NSF funding is part of a $77.8 million national investment in the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), which aims to leverage interdisciplinary research teams across regions to develop climate adaptation and mitigation strategies, expand STEM opportunities, and drive economic growth in disproportionately affected communities nationwide.

The project team comprises 29 experts from various sectors, and includes the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, University of Arkansas, and Kansas State University. The team’s expertise spans engineering, journalism, urban planning, sociology, medicine, sustainability sciences, agronomy, geosciences, agribusiness, and more

In the next decade, NASA, China, and their international and commercial partners plan to establish habitats on the Moon. Through the Artemis Program, NASA will deploy the orbiting Lunar Gateway and the Artemis Base Camp on the lunar surface. Meanwhile, China (and its partner Roscosmos) will deploy the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), consisting of an orbital and surface element. The creation of this infrastructure will enable a “sustained program of lunar exploration and development” that could lead to a permanent human presence there. To ensure that humans can work and live sustainably beyond Earth, astronauts and crews will need to be able to harvest local resources to see to their needs – in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). This includes using lunar water ice and regolith to grow plants, providing astronauts with food and an additional source of oxygen and biomass. To test the potential for growing plants on the Moon, a Chinese research team conducted a series of experiments where they grew tobacco plants in simulated lunar soil with the help of bacteria. The study was conducted by a team from the Colleges of Agronomy and Biotechnology, Engineering, and Horticulture at the China Agricultural University (CAU) in Beijing. The team was led by Yitong Xia, a researcher with the College of Agronomy and Biotechnology at the CAU, and the paper describing their findings recently appeared in Communications Biology, a journal maintained by Nature. As their study indicates, growing plants in lunar soil is essential to reducing reliance on Earth since resupply missions are expensive and time-consuming. At the University of Arizona’s Controlled Environment Agriculture Center, an 18-foot long, 7-foot, 3-inch diameter lunar greenhouse chamber is equipped as a prototype bioregenerative life support system. Credits: University of Arizona Whereas the International Space Station (ISS) can be restocked in a matter of hours, it takes roughly three days for missions to reach the Moon. As Xia said in a recent interview with Reuters: “Considering the huge scientific and economic potential of the Moon, we will need to set up manned lunar bases in the future. But how can we provide food, oxygen, and water for the crew members? Of course, we can carry them to the Moon by rockets, but that is economically unsustainable. A greenhouse for plant cultivation on the Moon could greatly reduce the need for Earth-moon transportation.” “We have several ways to grow plants on the Moon, including transporting horticultural soil to the Moon, building up a hydroponic system (growing plants without soil), or using soil substitutes like hydrogels (gels whose liquid component is water). Those methods do not need lunar soil, but all of them would consume huge carrying capability on rockets, making these plans very expensive.” As they indicate in their study, the team created lunar soil simulant using volcanic material sourced from the Changbai mountains of China’s Jilin Province, which has similar chemical and physical properties to lunar regolith. They then used two samples of this simulant to grow Nicotiana benthamiana, a close relative of the tobacco plant native to Australia, grown in two samples of regolith simulant. One sample was treated with three strains of bacteria – Bacillus mucilaginosus, Bacillus megaterium, and Pseudomonas fluorescent – while the control group was untreated. The actions of the bacteria made the soil more acidic, resulting in a low-pH environment that caused insoluble phosphate-containing minerals to dissolve, releasing the phosphorous into the soil for the plants to use. Their results found that the soil treated with these three species of bacteria produced plants with longer stems and roots and heavier and wider clusters of leaves compared to the untreated soil. This experiment builds on similar research conducted last year by a team of horticulturalists from the University of Florida. A view into NASA’s Kennedy Space Center’s Advanced Plant Habitat (APH) during experiment verification testing for the Plant Habitat-03 investigation. Credit: Dr. Anna-Lisa Paul. In this study, the team grew Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress), a flowering plant in the mustard family, in twelve thimble-sized containers, each containing a gram of actual lunar regolith collected by the Apollo missions. While the Arabidopsis seeds did grow in the lunar soil, the results were not as robust as those grown in volcanic ash from Earth. These results suggested that lunar soil could use something to boost fertility, which inspired the Chinese team’s decision to add bacteria strains. While other strains were also tested, none showed the same results as the three selected. “The importance of these findings is that we may be able to use these microbes to turn the lunar regolith into bio-friendly substrate for plant cultivation in future lunar greenhouses,” Xia added. “In contrast, our technique, which is a kind of in-situ resource utilization, applies microbial improvement to the lunar soil, making it more fertile and capable for plant cultivation. Our study achieved the same goal with much less consumption of carrying capability compared with other plans.” Further Reading: Reuters, Communications Biology The post Plants Could Grow in Lunar Regolith Using Bacteria appeared first on Universe Today.
