An experiment was carried out to investigate the comparative analysis of different packaging materials on the postharvest performance of banana fruit. A laboratory experiment was laid out at Gokuleshwor Agriculture and animal science college in the month of March 2023. The experiment was conducted in a complete random design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were t1: control, t2: banana leaf, t3: straw, t4: polythene bag, t5: card box. The highest physiological weight loss (27.677 gm) was recorded at the control (Unpackage) whereas the lowest weight loss (12.61 gm) was recorded from the polythene bag. The maximum value of TSS was recorded on fruits treated in a polyethylene bag (15.325 ˚Brix) whereas the minimum value of TSS was recorded in the control (12.725 ˚Brix). Titrable acidity was found to be highest in polythene bags (0.318) and lowest in cardboard and control (0.2437), titrable acidity decreasing as the ripening advances. Pulp firmness shows a decreasing pattern. The changes were observed faster on control all days, and a slower decrease in pulp firmness was observed in the polythene bag. As ripening advances banana pulp thickness shows an increased trend over the storage period. On 16 days higher pulp thickness was found in the control (2.78cm), whereas lower pulp thickness was found in the polythene bag (2.70 cm). As seeing the overall trend, the pulp thickness seems to be increased with time. As ripening advances banana peel thickness shows decreased trend over the storage period. On 16 days higher peel thickness was found in polythene (0.444 cm) whereas lower peel thickness was found in the control (0.41 cm). Therefore, it is clear that banana fruits packaged in polythene bags demonstrated remarkable quality and shelf life when compared to alternative packaging materials.

Background: Ultra-Processed Foods are packaged formulation resulting from several sequences of industrial processes; they are manufactured entirely from substance derived from foods and additives used to imitate sensory properties of foods and disguise unpalatable aspects of the final product. Objectives: This study examines the consumption of ultra-processed foods and dietary patterns of children (6-12years) in Obowo L.G.A, Imo State.Methods: The study was a cross-sectional study. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select a total of 440 respondents for the survey. Data on socioeconomic/demographic characteristics, consumption of ultra-processed foods and dietary pattern of the respondents were collected using structured and validated questionnaires. The IBM SPSS version 23.0 was used to analyze the data. Data obtained were described using frequency and percentage.Results: Half (50.8%) of the respondents were females. Majority of the respondents (70.3%) were between the ages of 10-11years and 90.2% of them were Christians. Most of the respondent’s fathers (70.7%) completed only secondary education, while 60.9% of their mothers completed only secondary education. Majority of their fathers (70.7%) were traders and earned between ₦50,000-₦69,000 in a month, while most of their mothers (90.2%) were traders and earned between ₦50,000-₦69,000 in a month. Majority of the children (70.7%) were fed three times daily. Majority (70.7%) of the respondents consumed ultra-processed foods/drinks and most of them (59.0%) consumed it because it was always available. Most of the school children (88.3%) consumed snacks. Conclusion: This study showed a high daily consumption of some ultra-processed foods like instant noodles, biscuit and soft drinks by the children. There is need to raise awareness on healthy eating behaviors targeted at school children.

A field experiment was conducted during winter season of 2022-2023 at vegetable experimental farm, Department of Agriculture, Khalsa College, Amritsar, Punjab to study the effect of intercropping system on yield, economics and Land equivalent ratio of cabbage in the trans-Gangetic plains of Punjab. The investigation was laid out in RBD with seven treatments replicated thrice with sole cabbage having spacing of 60×45 cm. Sole cropping of cabbage recorded significantly maximum values for most of the yield characters like plant height, head circumference, marketable heads per plot, head weight, maximum head diameter, head height, cabbage yield per plot and yield per hectare. Economically, cabbage+radish intercropping B:C ratio (5.20) was adjudged as the best followed by sole cabbage cropping having B:C ratio (4.83). Also the Land equivalent ratio (LER) was maximum in cabbage+radish intercropping 1.74 followed by cabbage + palak intercropping 1.43. Therefore intercropping in cabbage results to maximize the yield and economics of cabbage farmers under Amritsar conditions. Inclusion of garden pea or raddish in cabbage inter rows may be adopted by cabbage growers.

Soil fertility evaluation is the most fundamental decision-making tool for effective sustainable soil nutrient management of a particular area. Soil properties vary between land use systems and understanding the variation in soil properties within land use systems is crucial. Thus, the study was conducted from March 2021 to April 2021 in Phaktalung, Taplejung of Nepal for evaluation of the soil nutrient conditions of different land use systems in Randomized Complete Block Design. Different land use systems i.e., Nepal Cardamom orchard in khet land, Nepal Cardamom orchard in bari land, Nepal Cardamom orchard in Pakho land were taken as treatments. A total of 27 samples from cardamom orchard of Ramsai variety were randomly collected, 9 samples each from khet land, bari land and Pakho land respectively at a depth of 0-30 cm and are analyzed. Research analysis revealed that the soil organic matter, nitrogen, potassium was found maximum in Treatment 3 (Pakho land) which is 4.12%, 0.20% and 331.5 kg/ha respectively. Phosphorous (51.10 kg/ha) was found maximum in Treatment 2 which was bari land. Whereas cardamom yield (0.55 Mt/ha), number of tillers (29.77) were found maximum in Treatment 1 which was khet land. While soil pH, diameter of tillers, length of tillers, number of inflorescences was found non-significant. Soil texture was found to be sandy loam type.
