Seeds are one of the main components in agricultural production systems. Seeds are demanded superior and high quality in order to produce high production. The use of low quality seeds and infectious diseases is one of the causes of low yield productivity. Seed treatment using biological agents or biological extract (biofungiside seed treatment) is an alternative as a substitute for synthetic chemicals in seed treatment. This study aims to determine the role of rhizobacteria as a driver of plant growth to growth and production.

Marine sponges are multicellular invertebrates that are part of the marine biomass from the Lower Cambrian period. They are present all over the planet and live in many aquatic ecosystems. It is found that the marine sponges are the source of the greatest number of metabolites isolated and characterized. These metabolites can beings present in high concentrations. This study is focused on the quantitative identification of organic substances such as: polyphenols, tannins, and flavonoids found in the extracts of two genus Ircinia marine sponges ‘spinulosa & oros’ of Atlantic Morrocan coast by various methods.

The experiment was conducted during the period from November 2014 to March 2015 in the experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka to find out the effect of irrigation under varying sowing times on yield performance of wheat. The experiment comprised of two factors; Factors A: Irrigation (3 levels): I1: Irrigation up to field capacity; I2: Irrigation upto 1/2 of field capacity and I3: Irrigation upto1/4th of field capacity (at crown root initiation, flowering and grain filling stage); Factor B: Sowing time (4 levels at 10 days interval): S1: Sowing at 10 November; S2: Sowing at 20 November; S3: Sowing at 30 November and S4: Sowing at 10 December. The experiment was laid out in Split Plot Design with three replications.

Drained tropical peat soils especially for agricultural purposes could lead to methane (CH4) emission into the atmosphere. Methane emission from peat soils to the atmosphere depends on rates of methane production, consumption and ability of the soil and plants to transport the gas to soil’s surface and also within soil particles. The objective of this study was to determine CH4 fluxes horizontally and vertically from the floor and wall of the pit of a tropical peat soils cultivated with Ananas comosus (L.) Merr. and to determine the relationship between CH4 transportation and CH4 emission from a drained tropical peat soils. Gas samplings were conducted in the dry and wet seasons.

In Benin, agriculture sector contributes to 26 % of the Gross Domestic Product in 2016. Intensification of agriculture has led to increase the use of new pesticides. This paper aims to asses practice attitudes of chemical pesticide use by farmers in North-East of Benin. Semi-structured interviews were conducted among 100 farmers chosen by the ‘‘snowball sampling’’ process in the communes of Banikoara, Kandi, Bembereke and Kalale. Survey was focused on farmer status, farming crops, pesticides and their use in agriculture. Descriptive statistics were performed with MS Excel while SAS software was used to perform chi-2 tests. Multiple correspondence analysis and hierarchical classification analysis were conducted to establish a farmer typology. Ninety-one percent of farmers were men and the predominant ethnic groups (p<0.01) were Bariba (31 %), Gando (29 %) and Mokole (23 %).

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) root tubers and vines are important for human and animal nutritional requirements, respectively; the vines being additionally used for propagation, but root tuber yield is greatly affected by vine harvesting frequency. This study aimed at assessing the potential effect of vine harvesting frequency of sweet potato German 11 cultivar on attributes of root tuber yield under sprinkler irrigation after 140 days from planting. Treatments used consisted of vine harvesting once (VHO) at 8 weeks after planting, 2 times (VH2T) at 8 and 10 weeks after planting; 3 times (VH3T) at 8, 10 and 12 weeks after planting; and 4 times (VH4T) at 8 weeks, 10 weeks, 12 weeks and at 14 weeks after planting. No vine harvesting was the control. Treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) and replicated three times.

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient with various vital metabolic, enzymatic and defensive roles in crop plants. This study was conducted to optimize the seed priming treatments, with Zn in improving the germination and early seedling growth of wheat. Experiments were conducted in petri plates and sand filled pots, respectively in Allelopathy laboratory, Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, during 2012. The experiments were laid out in completely randomized design in factorial arrangement with four replications. Seeds of two wheat cultivars Lasani-2008 and Faisalabad-2008 were soaked in aerated Zn solution of various concentrations (0.5, 0.1, 0.05, 0.01, 0.005 and  0.001 M Zn) for 12 h.

Laboratory techniques involved in analytical procedure poses many complications on the results that influence the efficacy of research work. An experiment was conducted to study the effect of washing, grinding and digestion methods on K, Zn and Fe concentrations in grains of wheat, lentil and rapeseed. The investigation was undertaken at the laboratory of National Agricultural Research Centre (NARC), Islamabad. The samples were divided into two sets; one was washed with distilled water and other was processed unwashed.

To find an alternative to the use of nitrogenous fertilizers in sugarcane cultivation, this study was initiated in order to improve soil fertility and sugarcane yield by growing legumes. The trials were carried out on-farm according to split-splot design in ferké 1 sugar bowl northern Côte d’Ivoire. The main factor was the cropping system (4 levels) and the subsidiary factor was the treatment with urea (3 levels). On the experimental plot, two legumes fallows (Soybean and Lablab) were grown in rotation with sugarcane. The sugarcane yields obtained were compared with those of the conventional system and those obtained after natural fallow using only nitrogenous fertilizers. In main crop as well as ratoon crop, sugarcane yields were statistically identical for all four cropping systems.

The weevil, Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky), is a devastating pest of stored maize, especially in the warm humid tropical regions. The objective of this study was to test the insecticidal properties of fractionated Ocimum canum and Laggera pterodonta extracts used as natural alternatives to synthetic insecticides in the management of maize S. zeamais weevils. Fractionated extracts were obtained by maceration of the leaves of O. canum and Laggera pterodonta.

A key factor under saline conditions is the disturbance of osmotic potential that results in imbalance of nutrients in plants, while the application of sulfur not only improves the growth and nutrient status, but also improves the salt tolerance in plants. Thus, a study was carried out to determine the role of sulfur in salt tolerance of crop plants. The seeds of maize were sown in plastic pots filled with sand. Three levels of salinity (25, 50, 75 mM) and five levels of sulfur (20, 40, 60, 80, 100 mM) were applied at sowing time. Various growth parameters and nutrient contents were studied. The results showed that sulfur at 60 and 80 mM improved shoot and root length, fresh and dry weights, nutrient contents (K+, Ca2+, NO3–, PO43-, SO42- ,Ca2+/Na+, K+/Na+) and lowered Na+ ions at all levels of salinity.

Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland fails to function adequately as a result the level of thyroid hormone is reducing in body. Thyroid hormones rise up cellular activity across the body generally enhancing metabolism. Iodine deficiency resulting from insufficient intake of dietary iodine is the most common cause of hypothyroidism worldwide.

The study reviewed factors contributing to the sustainability of the agricultural innovation platform (AIP) in Africa. The study found that the sustainability of the AIP is influenced by the numbers of factors which are; motivation, commitment and ownership, capacity building, resources mobilization and linkages. The study recommend that for sustainability of the AIPs; motivation of the stakeholders should start at the initial stage of platform formation, the interest of the stakeholders must be incorporate into platform activities in order to motivate stakeholders, business model should be developed by the platform on how financial resources should obtained and ways of sustained its sources. Moreover, membership contribution should be emphasized, because it can generate revenue and develop sense of ownership.
