In the current era of globalization, there are many similar products on the market and most of them have same prices and functions. Thus, the only factor that can be used as a differentiator from similar products is the quality of the products. This research was conducted at PT Candi Loka, which is engaged in agribusiness, namely tea processing. This research aims to (1) determine the problems faced by PT Candi Loka as related to the quality of tea production, (2) identify the factors that most influence the quality of tea at PT Candi Loka, and (3) formulate the most appropriate solution to be applied in an effort to improve the quality of tea production at PT Candi Loka. The basic method in this research was the descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data analysis was performed through using the techniques of check sheet, stratification, pareto charts, and fishbone charts. The results of this study comprised the Pareto diagram that showed the existence of deviations in the quality of dry tea products produced in March 2022, namely the pekoe products had lower quality than the standards set by the company. Check sheets and stratification showed the factors that influenced the quality of tea products at PT Candi Loka, namely (a) human factor, which included: lack of care in applying drying temperature, inadequacy of labor knowledge, lack of worker discipline, the large number of workers who were at unproductive age, lack of work contracts between the plantation foreman and the pickers; (b) raw materials, which included: damaged and rough (old) materials, the large number of plants that were not productive; (c) work method, which included: unstable withering and drying temperatures, non-specialized work systems, sales based on order system; (d) machine, which included: overly old machines, dirty machine conditions; (e) environment, which included: uncertain weather and temperature, decreasing soil fertility. Fishbone analysis was used to determine the most dominant factors in the final product, namely pekoe with inferior standard. The factors that influenced the pekoe products with lower standard consisted of damaged and rough (old) shoots and unstable temperature during processing (withering and drying). From the results of the analysis, recommendations are offered for improvements that can be implemented by PT Candi Loka, namely improving its picking system to improve the quality of raw materials, providing appropriate temperatures at the processing stage (withering and drying) and making quality manuals based on performance.

Evaluation of genotypes under Egyptian desert conditions comes in the first order for the Plant Breeding and Conservation Program of the Desert Research Center (DRC). The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of the genotype by environment interaction of sugar beet across various locations using multivariate models. Data for studied traits of sugar beet were obtained from experiments at three regions: Saint Catherine, South Sinai Governorate (E1); Baloza station, North Sinai Governorate (E2); and East El- Qantra station, El-Ismailia Governorate (E3) in Egypt. All examined traits were significantly impacted (p <0.05 or 0.01) by environment (E), genotypes (G), and their interaction (GEI) using the AMMI model, with the exception of root length/plant by the environments as well as leaves weight/plant and total soluble solids percentage % traits by the genotypes. GEI was partitioned into two principal components (PCs), which were significant for all studied traits (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01). The highest variability from the total variance was recorded by environmental influences for leaves weight/plant and total soluble solids percentage % traits, as well as by genotype effects for the other studied traits. The environmental index showed that some environments were favorable and some environments were unfavorable for the two traits. The highest root weight/plant and most studied traits were noticed in the E2 environment. Based on the GGE model for root weight/plant, the test environments E1 and E2 are more representative and have the greatest ability to discriminate genotypes, thus favoring the selection of superior genotypes. The genotypes G2, G5, and G6 perform best in the E1 and E2 environments as well as are the most productive and stable compared with the other genotypes. According to PCA and cluster analysis, the genotypes G5 and G6 showed the best performance in response to environments and positive association with root weight/plant and most studied traits. Based on the results of statistical methods used in this study, G5 and G6 genotypes should be used in future sugar beet breeding in an effort to improve productivity and sustainable production of sugar beet in Egypt.

Planting time is an essential agronomic practice for the growth and yield of crops. This phenomenon enhances the crop ability to perform better in varied environments. The experiment was conducted during the late season in September, 2020 at the University for Development Studies (UDS) experimental field. The objective was to evaluate the influence of late planting on the growth and yield of third filial generation of cowpea inbred lines. The experiment was a single factor experiment laid in a randomized complete block design. The lines were ABF3, GOF3, MF3, SAF3 and an advance breeding line IT93K503-1, used as a standard check. Data was collected on plant height, Leaf area, branch count at harvest, Chlorophyll Content, Days to 50% flowering, Days to 95% maturity, Number of seeds per plant, Pod weight per plant, Pod length per plant, Number of seeds per pod, Hundred seed weight, Dry matter, and grain yield. Data was analyzed using Gen Stat Statistical package 12th edition and treatment means were separated at 5% probability level. Results showed significant differences in eight parameters measured. SAF3 recorded the highest plant height and leaf area. SAF3 recorded the highest chlorophyll, while GOF3 recorded the lowest chlorophyll content. Again, GOF3 flowered early compared with the check but SAF3 recorded the longest days to flower. GOF3 matured early, whilst SAF3 took the longest days to pod maturity. SAF3 had the highest grain yield. The results obtained in the study showed that, planting time had significant influence for grain yield of cowpea.

To assess the effects of organic and inorganic N fertilizers regarding wheat yield and growth a field experiment was carried out from November 2019 to March 2020 at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. There were three replications of the experiment, which was set up using a randomized full block design. The experiment comprises four varieties viz. BARI Gom-28, BARI Gom-30, BARI Gom-31, BARI Gom-32 and five levels of N viz. Control, 90 kg N ha-1 from prilled urea (PU), 57 kg N ha-1 from prilled urea (PU) + 3 t ha-1 poultry manure (PM) as organic N source, 62 kg N ha-1 from PU + 5 t ha-1 cowdung as organic N source, 29 Kg N ha-1 from PU + 4 t ha-1 vermicompost as organic N source. The outcome of the experiment revealed that there were substantial differences in the growth and yield of wheat due to different varietal effects and application of organic and inorganic nitrogen fertilizers, although some of the attributes were not found significant. At growth, BARI Gom-32 produced the highest number of total tillers hill-1 and leaf area index, while the highest number of total tillers hill-1 and leaf area index were obtained from 57 kg N ha-1 from PU and 3 t ha-1 PM at 20, 40, 60 and 80 DAS. At harvest, the highest number of effective tillers plant-1 (2.82), filled grain spike-1 (32.06), 1000-grain weight (61.07 g), grain yield (3.94 t ha-1), straw yield (5.85 t ha-1) and harvest index (40.11%) were obtained from BARI Gom-32. While, application of 57 kg N ha-1 from PU and 3 t ha-1 PM produced the tallest plant (95.49 cm), number of total tillers plant-1 (3.96), number of effective tillers plant-1 (3.20), filled grain spike-1 (36.61), 1000-grain weight (60.18 g from T5), grain yield (4.34 t ha-1), straw yield (6.23 t ha-1) and harvest index (41.07%). Again, the maximum number of total tillers plant-1 (4.06), number of effective tillers plant-1 (3.46), filled grain spike-1 (39.13), 1000-grain weight (64.62 g), grain yield (4.38 t ha-1), straw yield (6.27 t ha-1 ) and harvest index (41.16%) were found from BARI Gom-32 in combination with 57 kg N ha-1 from prilled urea and 3 t ha-1 poultry manure. Therefore, it can be concluded that BARI Gom-32 in combination with 57 kg N ha-1 from prilled urea and 3 t ha-1 poultry manure was more potential in terms of yield and would be suggested for the cultivation of wheat.
为评估有机和无机氮肥对小麦产量和生长的影响,于2019年11月至2020年3月在迈门辛格孟加拉国农业大学农学田间实验室进行了一项田间试验。试验采用随机全区设计,共设3个重复。试验采用4个品种BARI Gom-28、BARI Gom-30、BARI Gom-31、BARI Gom-32和5个氮水平,即对照,以造粒尿素(PU) N hm -1为有机氮源,以造粒尿素(PU) N hm -1 57 kg + 3 t hm -1家禽粪(PM) N hm -1为有机氮源,以PU + 5 t hm -1牛粪N hm -1 62 kg为有机氮源,以PU + 4 t hm -1蚯蚓堆肥N hm -1 29 kg为有机氮源。试验结果表明,不同品种效应和施用有机氮肥与无机氮肥对小麦生长和产量有显著影响,但部分性状不显著。生长过程中,BARI Gom-32的总分蘖数和叶面积指数最高,而57 kg N hm -1 PU和3 t hm -1 PM在20、40、60和80 DAS时的总分蘖数和叶面积指数最高。收获时,BARI gm -32的有效分蘖数最高(2.82个),灌穗数最高(32.06个),千粒重最高(61.07 g),籽粒产量最高(3.94 t hm -1),秸秆产量最高(5.85 t hm -1),收获指数最高(40.11%)。施用57 kg N hm -1 PU和3 t hm -1 PM可获得最高株(95.49 cm)、总分蘖数-1(3.96)、有效分蘖数-1(3.20)、灌穗数-1(36.61)、千粒重(60.18 g)、籽粒产量(4.34 t hm -1)、秸秆产量(6.23 t hm -1)和收获指数(41.07%)。在57 kg N / ha-1尿素和3 t N / ha-1家禽粪的组合下,BARI gm -32的最大分蘖数为4.06个,有效分蘖数为3.46个,灌穗数为39.13个,千粒重为64.62 g,籽粒产量为4.38 t hm -1,秸秆产量为6.27 t hm -1,收获指数为41.16%。综上所述,BARI Gom-32配以57 kg N hm -1的造粒尿素和3 t hm -1的禽粪,产量潜力更大,可用于小麦栽培。

Aim: Uniform and rapid germination and growth is a major barrier to successful crop production of bitter gourd, a major summer vegetable of Bangladesh. Seed priming with different signaling molecules can efficiently confer this problem. Therefore, the present study was conducted to explore the potentiality of different signaling molecules such as salicylic acid (SA) and gibberelic acid (GA3) to increase germination and growth of bitter gourd. Place and Duration of the Study: The study was conducted in the Department of Seed Science and Technology, Bangladesh Agricultural University, from September-October, 2022. Methodology: The bitter gourd seeds were soaked in 1mM, 2mM and 3mM GA3, and 3mM, 6mM and 9mM SA solutions for 1 hour. The untreated seeds were used as control. Seeds were germinated in petri dishes and data on germination was collected. Then seedlings were transplanted to pot after 7 days to record growth parameters at 15th day of establishment. Results: The experiment's findings indicated that lower concentrations of SA and GA3 had a beneficial effect, however greater levels significantly reduced the bitter gourd's ability to germinate and develop in comparison to the control. Findings of the study showed priming concentrations of 3mM SA, 6mM SA, and 1mM GA3, markedly improved the germination percentage, shoot and root length, seedling vigour, and fresh and dry weight of the shoot and root, RWC of bitter gourd. Conclusion: Pretreatment with SA and GA3 was observed to be relatively more efficient in increasing germination of bitter gourd compared with control. Overall, this study suggests that bitter gourd seed priming 3mM SA, 6mM SA, and 1mM GA3 can improve germination and growth.

Sweet sorghum plant is a warm season annual crop. It can be used for animal feeding in the one-cut agricultural system. Sweet sorghum is grown for the purpose of fresh and dry grass and for silage production. Biomass of sweet sorghum is nutritive due to sweet sorghum stalk contains 15-20% sugar. The study aimed to determine biomass, dry matter yield and some agricultural characteristics of some early sweet sorghum genotypes. Research was carried out during the second crop-growing season of 2016 at the Eyyubiye campus of experimental area of the Harran University in Sanliurfa, Turkiye. The experiment was designed as complete randomized blocks design with four replicates. This study utilized 12 early sweet sorghum genotypes as crop material. The experiment investigated some yield characteristics such as cluster formation period, plant height, stalk diameter, stalk ratio, leaf ratio, cluster ratio, dry matter yield and biomass yield. Results showed significant differences between the genotypes for tested characteristics (P≤0.01). Cluster formation period values ranged from 54.25 to 69.00 day, plant height from 252.25 to 340.75 cm, stalk diameter from 19.15 to 25.60 mm, stalk ratio from 75.72% to 86.75%. Leaf ratio values varied between 8.83% and 15.98%, cluster ratio between 4.40% and 10.31%. Dry matter yield values were between 2918.12 and 8456.25 kg da-1, biomass yield values between 9283.5 and 18400.0 kg da-1. Findings revealed that UNLY-hybrid-4, Rox Orange, Blue Ribben, and Colman sweet sorghum cultivars gave higher values than others in terms of plant height, dry matter yield and biomass yield.

The agromorphological and genetic parameters of sorghum are important keys in rainfed sorghum production processes. To know the genetic diversity and agromorphological characteristics under striga infestation of this cereal in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Cameroon, a survey near to 230 farmers were done. Survey was followed by a collection of rainfed sorghum accessions in 2015 and 2016 in 16 villages of the 4 Divisions namely Mayo-Danay, Mayo-Kani, Mayo-Louti and Mayo-Rey of North. The field trials were conducted in Touboro from 2016 to 2017 with a split plot design and composed of 24 factors (accessions) in a naturally striga-infested plot. Results showed that sorghum ecotypes varied significantly (P < .05) according to sorghum height, stem diameter, number of leaves, panicle weight and seed yield. Eight (8) genetic and agro-morphological diversity groups were defined from Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Ascendant Classification (HAC). These groups are distinguished by the r=0.988 value of the similarity coefficient. Surveys resulted in 14 endogenous striga control techniques divided into three categories, namely cultural control, chemical control and biological control. The agro-morphological parameters that determine the choice of ecotype by the farmers were among others edaphic constraints, climatic constraints, pest pressure, taste quality, culinary uses, glume and grain color, duration of the ripening cycle which can be very early, early and late. Mbayeeri accessions such as LMO-LT18; LMO-LT19; LMO-LT20; LMO-LT21; LMO-LT22; LMO-LT23 and GD-LT03 were more solicited by farmers because of their resistance to striga and their adaptation in flooded soil despite the late development cycle. While the accessions TO-MPP15; KW-CP09; GD-CP14; GDO-MP07; GD-MP04 and LMO-CP17 were appreciated by farmers because of their earliness and resistance to striga. Some ecotypes namely GD-MP04, LMO-LT18, TO-MPP15, SD-CPP11, ZD-CPP12, LMO-LT19 and LMO-LT23 were more solicited and well appreciated by women to prepare local beer according to taste quality and striga tolerance. While, accessions like KW-MPP08, GDO-MP07, LMO-LT20, LMO-LT21 and LMO-LT22 were very well appreciated for couscous and porridge food prepared by women. So, in the local market these accessions are very expensive. A genetic improvement program readjusting the late development cycle of appreciated, solicited and tolerant sorghum ecotypes to striga should be an important asset to striga control and for the improvement of socio-economic conditions of farmers in northern Cameroon.

Tef is the most cultivated crop in terms of area and second most produced crop after maize in Ethiopia. Soil compaction, inaccurate sowing date and shortage of high-yielding varieties are crucial problems in the study area. Therefore, this experiment was carried out during the main cropping season of 2021 to study the effects of soil compaction, sowing dates and tef varieties on yield and yield components of tef in Toke Kutaye district. The treatments included soil compaction (compacted and un-compacted soil), three sowing dates and three tef varieties such as [Dedefe (as standard check), Quncho and Dagim]. Treatments were factorially arranged and laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Analysis of the data indicated that days to 50% emergence, days to 50% panicle emergence, days to 90% physiological maturity and number of productive tillers of tef were significantly (P<0.05) influenced by main effect of soil compaction, sowing dates and varieties. Plant height, panicle length, total number of tillers, above-ground biomass yield, grain yield and straw yield of tef were significantly affected by the interaction of three factors. Highest plant height (124.26 cm), panicle length (36.26 cm), above-ground biomass yield (7.47 t ha-1), and grain yield (2.8 t ha-1) were recorded from un-compacted soil, in early sown Dagim variety. Therefore, farmers in the study area are advised to grow Dagim variety with July 15 sowing date without trampling the soil to improve tef production and yield. However, the experiment has to be repeated across locations and seasons to provide a reliable recommendation for improved tef production for similar agroecology.
Tef是埃塞俄比亚种植面积最大的作物,也是仅次于玉米的第二大作物。土壤板结、播期不准确、高产品种短缺是研究区存在的主要问题。因此,本试验选择在2021年主要种植季进行,研究土壤压实、播期和tef品种对Toke Kutaye地区tef产量及产量构成的影响。处理包括土壤压实(夯实和未夯实土壤),三个播种日期和三个tef品种,如[Dedefe(作为标准检查),Quncho和Dagim]。处理按因子排列,采用随机完全区组设计,3个重复。结果表明,土壤压实度、播期和品种对tef出苗期~ 50%、穗部出苗期~ 50%、生理成熟期~ 90%和有效分蘖数均有显著影响(P<0.05)。3个因子的交互作用显著影响tef的株高、穗长、分蘖总数、地上生物量产量、籽粒产量和秸秆产量。早播大金品种在未压实土壤上最高株高(124.26 cm)、穗长(36.26 cm)、地上生物量产量(7.47 t ha-1)和籽粒产量(2.8 t ha-1)。因此,建议研究区农民种植7月15日播期不踩踏土壤的Dagim品种,以提高产量和产量。然而,该实验必须在不同地点和季节重复进行,以便为类似的农业生态提供改进tef生产的可靠建议。

Finger millet is extensively cultivated in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of Africa and is known to save the lives of small income farmers from starvation at times of extreme drought. Therefore, this field experiment was carried out to study the integrated effect of vermicompost and inorganic fertilizer blended NPSB with urea on yield and yield components of finger millet. Treatments of the experiment consisted of four levels of vermicompost (25, 50, 75, and 100%) and three levels of recommended NPSB and urea (25, 50 and 75%) rates, control, recommended vermicompost alone (4.64 t ha-1), and inorganic fertilizer alone (100 kg NPSB ha-1 and 90 kg urea ha-1). Experiment was arranged in the field in Randomized Complete Block Design in fifteen treatments replicating thrice. The maximum (10730.4 kg ha-1) dry biomass weight and straw yield (88235 kg ha-1) was obtained with the application of 100: 25% vermicompost and recommended NPSB with urea. Utmost harvest index (33.8 7%) and grain yield (2202 kg ha-1) of finger millet were obtained with the application of 25:50% vermicompost and blended NPSB with urea. The highest net benefit of ETB 56475.9 ha-1 with a marginal rate of return of 93.63% was recorded from application of 25:50% vermicompost (1.16 tons ha-1) and blended NPSB with urea, (50 kg NPSB ha-1 and 45 kg urea ha-1), fertilizer. Hence, it is recommended to apply 25:50% vermicompost (1.16 tons ha-1), and blended NPSB with urea, (50 kg NPSB ha-1 and 45 kg urea ha-1), fertilizer to increase finger millet productition in the study area.
谷子在非洲热带和亚热带地区被广泛种植,在极端干旱时期,谷子可以使小农免于饥饿。因此,本试验旨在研究蚯蚓堆肥与无机肥混用氮磷酰胺与尿素对小谷子产量及产量组成的综合影响。试验处理包括4个蚯蚓堆肥水平(25%、50%、75%和100%)和3个推荐蚯蚓堆肥和尿素水平(25%、50%和75%),对照、推荐蚯蚓堆肥单独(4.64 t hm -1)和无机肥单独(100 kg NPSB hm -1和90 kg尿素hm -1)。试验采用随机完全区组设计,在田间安排15个处理,重复3次。施用100:25%蚯蚓堆肥和推荐NPSB加尿素时,干生物量(10730.4 kg ha-1)和秸秆产量(88235 kg ha-1)最大。蚯蚓堆肥用量为25:50%,氮肥与尿素混合施用时,谷子收获指数最高(33.8%),籽粒产量最高(2202 kg hm -1)。施用蚯蚓堆肥比例为25:50% (1.16 t hm -1)和NPSB与尿素(50 kg NPSB hm -1和45 kg尿素hm -1)混合肥料时,ETB的净效益最高,边际收益率为93.63%。因此,建议采用蚯蚓堆肥比例为25:50% (1.16 t hm -1),氮磷酰胺与尿素混合施肥(氮磷酰胺50 kg hm -1,尿素45 kg hm -1),提高研究区谷子产量。

Since the reform and opening up, the mechanization level of China's agricultural production has been significantly improved. Intelligent mechanization of agricultural production is an inevitable trend for future social development. It is based on intelligent equipment, with data and knowledge as the core elements to enable the deep integration of modern science and technology with agriculture. This enables digital perception, intelligent decision making, and precise operation of the whole agricultural production process, further improving labor productivity, land output rate and resource utilization rate. This paper introduces the development status of agricultural production in China and abroad with pepper harvesting, analyzes the necessity of changing China's agricultural production to intelligent mechanized production, summarizes the opportunities and challenges in intelligent mechanization, and accordingly puts forward the development direction and development route of China's agricultural production. To promote the transformation of China's agricultural production mode from mechanization to wisdom, this paper puts forward countermeasure suggestions such as strengthening the construction of agricultural machinery equipment R&D and innovation system, strengthening the construction of agricultural machinery promotion system, strengthening the construction of agricultural machinery socialization service system, and accelerating the construction of wisdom agriculture demonstration area.
