The study was undertaken to investigate the drying characteristics of bottle guard powder experimentally. Bottle gourd powder was prepared by varying process parameters i.e. steam blanching time (2, 4, 5 and 8 min) and drying air temperature (50, 60, 70 and 80C) and one without blanched sample was evaluated for each drying air temperature. The bottle gourd shreds were subjected to thin layer hot air drying in a cabinet dryer keeping constant air velocity of 1.5 m/sec. The total average drying time required to attain the average moisture content of 0.04 kg water per kg dm at drying temperature of 50, 60, 70 and 80C was 660, 480, 420 and 345 minutes, respectively. The optimum values of steam blanching pre treatment (6 min) prior to hot air drying (60C) was found to be the most effective treatment to obtain better quality bottle gourd powder.
对护瓶粉的干燥特性进行了实验研究。通过不同的工艺参数，即蒸汽漂烫时间(2、4、5和8 min)和干燥空气温度(50、60、70和80℃)制备葫芦粉，并对每种干燥空气温度下未漂烫的样品进行评估。将葫芦碎料在柜式干燥机中进行薄层热风干燥，风速恒定为1.5 m/sec。在50、60、70和80℃的干燥温度下，达到0.04 kg / kg dm的平均含水量所需的总平均干燥时间分别为660、480、420和345 min。在热风干燥(60C)前进行蒸漂预处理(6min)是获得质量较好的葫芦粉的最有效处理。

Coffee, which is grown in more than 60 tropical countries on more than 11 million ha of land, is the most important commodity in the world market next to oil. It accounts for a significant proportion of the foreign currency earnings of many developing countries and the economies of many countries in Africa and South America depend on the revenue from coffee production for their stability and development. However, coffee farmers receive less than 5% of the retail value of a cup of coffee (Waller et al., 2007)

The profitability and efficiency of farming economies achieved by introduction of advanced agricultural methods during two years, in particular, the increase in the productivity of soil with the use of advanced manure, treated in biogas facilities, the increase in the productivity of degraded and low-productive agricultural lands (exchange of seeds, introduction of new cultures, drainage etc.) and soil erosion prevention techniques were investigated by application of the methods of mathematical statistics to the obtained results. High profitability, efficiency and economic justification of these methods are shown as a result of this investigation.

Soil is one of the factors of plant growth. Terrestrial plants have the following demands on soil: water, air, nutrients, and protection from toxins. Plants need adequate air, water, and nutrients in their root zone for optimum growth and yield (Foth HD,1990).Crop production and productivity can be improved by the combination of genotype, optimum environmental condition and appropriate management practices which can be generalized by the formula: Yield = G (genotype) x E (environment) x M (management). The genotype refers to healthy seeds of high yielding verities; environment refers to the soil‘s physical and chemical properties and climate in the particular location; and management refers to the farmers' ability and skill in managing crops and the farming system (Yihenew G.Selassie, 2015).

Small-scale irrigation is the feasible way by which agricultural production and productivity can be enhanced to meet the ever-growing food demand of populated countries like Ethiopia. This study was conducted to assess factors affecting farm households’ participation decision in small-scale irrigation using the primary data collected from 220 sample households from Walmara district, central Ethiopia. Both descriptive and econometric data analyses were conducted to analyze the collected data. The logistic regression result revealed that the sex of the household head, size of land owned, the occurrence of crop pests during the main season, family size, and access to credit services were the variables that positively and significantly affected household participation decision in small scale irrigation, while age of the household head, number of livestock owned and distance from irrigation site were the variables that negatively and significantly affected households’ participation decision in small-scale irrigation. Therefore, agricultural policy interventions that promoting the establishment of institutions that providing financial, material and technical supports to farmers are recommended.

Poverty is a state of want where human beings are unable to meet their basic needs of household such as social amenities, nutrition and economic infrastructural development needed for survival. Poverty where ever it may exist, rural or urban have serious negative impact on the society. In Nigeria, poverty has a direct relationship with the nutrition and lifestyle of the people. Research study has identified that in Nigeria, 60% live below the so called poverty line, which is meant to be about $1-$2 a day per person. Healthy nutrition and lifestyle which is manifested when people are able to meet their basic needs of household such as social amenities, economic infrastructural development and access to adequate nutrient-rich food needed for survival are lacking in Nigeria. This review paper identified the concept of healthy nutrition. It further focused on the factors that cause poverty and malnutrition and the effects of poverty and hunger on an individual and the economy. The paper then recommends certain methods that can be adopted that to fight poverty and malnutrition in Nigeria. Therefore, any nation that strives for greater height in her development, must tackle the issue of poverty and malnutrition with all seriousness it deserves.

In the globe, a rapidly growing population is increasing food demand whilst resources such as good quality land, water and soil are becoming scarcer. Crop production is negatively impacted by numerous biotic and abiotic stresses. As fertilizers such as phosphorous and nitrogen become increasingly scarce and expensive, developing plant varieties that can withstand climate variability, lower rainfalls, warmer temperatures, fewer inputs and pest and disease outbreaks is increasingly vital. Plants that use resources more efficiently or require fewer resources altogether improve the sustainability of agricultural as well as urban and forest ecosystems. Discovering the underlying genes affecting important traits such as yield, quality, disease resistance, and climate adaptability is of paramount importance to increase the agricultural productivity and to feed the world’s growing population it is needed to mitigate production and productivity limiting biotic and abiotic stress.
