Background: Poverty has been a prevailing challenge among individuals and farmers most especially in the Nigerian economy. The study analyzed poverty status of cassava farmers in Agrarian cassava region in Cross River State, Nigeria. Methods: A multistage sampling technique was adopted in selecting 120 respondents using structured questionnaire between 2019 and 2022. Data obtained were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: Results showed that the poverty line estimated across all gender was N 17,770.80 and 64.15% of the male farmers were non-poor while 35.85% of them were poor. Male recorded the highest poverty head count ratio (P0) of 0.358. The poverty gap (P1) and severity of poverty (P2) among male farmers were 9.8 and 4.8 per cent, respectively. Similarly, poverty head count (P0), poverty gap (P1) and severity of poverty (P2) for female farmers was 32.8%, 9.7% and 4% respectively. Drudgery/ inadequate access to modern equipment (2.74), high cost of labour (2.64), high perishability of cassava (2.60), high cost of transportation (2.55), fluctuation in prices (2.43) and lack of improved variety (2.38) were the serious constraint faced by cassava farmers during their production in the study area. Policies should be directed towards enhancing farmer income and reducing income inequality through access to credit facility for cassava based farmers.

Many developed nations and developing countries are experiencing a decline in the number of farmers and people are no longer interested in pursuing farming practices. There are many physical and biological risks associated with farming environments, which are universal across cultures. Due to this, it is pertinent to consider the psychological and social well-being of farmers from a global perspective.

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of Mycosorb (esterified glucomannan-EGM) on nutrient retention in aflatoxicated broiler chickens. Day-old chicks (n=270, 50±5 g) were divided into 6 treatment groups, containing 45 numbers in each for 6 weeks. A control ration was prepared with conventional feedstuffs and an experimental diet was prepared from this after incorporating aflatoxin B1 @ 300 ppb. From the experimental diet, 3 rations were prepared by mixing EGM at graded levels i.e., 0.025, 0.05, or 0.10 per cent. The control ration was mixed with EGM, @ 0.05 per cent and maintained as a positive control. A balance trial of three days duration in the 6th week was conducted for determination of nutrient retention. There was a significant reduction in dry matter, ether extract, protein, calcium and phosphorus due to aflatoxicosis except on crude fibre. However, the improvement was noticed after the incorporation of Mycosorb. It could be concluded that the maximum benefit of nutrient retention was obtained at the high dose, i.e., 0.10 per cent.

Chickpea establish symbiotic relationship with Mesorhizobium ciceri and fixes atmospheric nitrogen, which depends on the efficacy of the Mesorhizobium strains, crop management, soil and environmental factors. A multi-trait Mesorhizobium isolate having more than one Plant growth promoting (PGP) traits often stimulates plant growth directly by IAA and GA production, enhances nutrient uptake by solubilizing phosphorus and siderophore production while indirect growth promotion is by prevention of some pathogenic microorganisms by producing HCN. Several studies revealed that plant growth attributes and yield was increased with inoculation of multi trait Rhizobium isolates. The occurrence of different PGP traits of Mesorhizobium and their effects on plant growth will be discussed in this review paper.

Background: Each region has its own traditional food habits. One of the ways to combat malnutrition is through enriching the traditional recipes, which are liked and accepted by the population. Thus, value addition was given to traditional recipes by incorporating finger millet for nutritional security of tribal in Jharkhand. Methods: Two popular recipes of tribal namely Laddoo and Dhuska were selected under study for enrichment through incorporation of finger millet to provide micronutrient security to selected population. Many initial trials were conducted during the year 2017-18 in the laboratory to standardize the extent of incorporation. The developed recipes were tested organoleptically by a panel of twenty semi trained judges using 9-point hedonic rating scale. Both finger millet enriched recipes were analyzed for proximate composition, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn and β- carotene. Result: Two types of laddoo were tried out and score of majority of sensory characteristics fell in the category of ‘Liked very much’ where as majority of organoleptic characteristics of finger millet incorporated dhuska were in the Category of ‘Moderately Liked’. Incorporation of finger millet enhanced the content of total mineral, fiber, Ca, Cu, Zn and β carotene.

Background: Though sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is one of the internationally as well as nationally important root crops. Its production is challenged with various bottlenecks. Lack of planting materials, shortage of farmer preferred varieties, poor extension system among many other constraints. This study was conducted to assess the performance and test of different orange fleshed sweet potato varieties in participatory approach in the lowlands of North shewa. Methods: Evaluation of eight varieties was carried out in main cropping season using a randomized complete block design with three replications. Number of roots per plant, root weight per plant, root length, root diameter, marketable and total root yield were measured and analyzed using the GLM procedure of SAS version 9.2. Moreover, farmers’ perception assessment and sensory analysis which had an important constituency in the selection process were done using pairwise matrix and hedonic scale, respectively. Result: Except root length, all the traits showed significant difference between varieties. Variety Kulfo gave the highest root yield (38.8 t ha-1) and root diameter (98.8 mm); whereas the lowest root yield (22.1 t ha-1) and root diameter (64.5 mm) were recorded from varieties Teo jet and Delvia, respectively. Farmers were also selecting varieties Lords, Cicilia and Birtukane. Panelists selected Bela, Birtukane and Kulfo as the best varieties. Hence, varieties Kulfo, Lords and Birtukane were recommended for further popularization to boost the production and productivity of the crop for production the lowlands of north shewa and other similar agro-ecologies.
背景:甘薯(Ipomoea batatas L.)是国内外重要的块根作物之一。它的生产受到各种瓶颈的挑战。缺乏种植材料，缺乏农民喜欢的品种，推广系统不完善等诸多制约因素。本研究在北谢瓦低地采用参与式方法对不同橙肉甘薯品种的生产性能进行了评价和试验。方法:采用3个重复的随机完全区组设计，对8个品种在主产季进行评价。采用SAS 9.2版GLM程序对单株根数、根重、根长、根直径、可销产量和总根产量进行测量和分析。此外，农民的感知评估和感官分析在选择过程中具有重要的选区，分别使用两两矩阵和享乐量表进行。结果:品种间除根长外，其余性状均有显著差异。Kulfo品种根产量最高(38.8 t hm -1)，根直径最高(98.8 mm);根产量最低(22.1 t hm -1)，根直径最低(64.5 mm)。农民们也选择了领主、西西莉亚和Birtukane等品种。小组成员选择贝拉、比图肯和库尔福作为最佳品种。因此，建议进一步推广Kulfo、Lords和Birtukane品种，以提高该作物的产量和生产力，用于谢瓦北部低地和其他类似的农业生态。

Hence, varieties Kulfo, Lords and Birtukane were recommended for further popularization to boost the production and productivity of the crop for production the lowlands of north shewa and other similar agro-ecologies.\u0000","PeriodicalId":8784,"journal":{"name":"Bhartiya Krishi Anusandhan Patrika","volume":"100 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80653447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Agriculture was, by default, organic throughout the world before the technique of manufacturing synthetic nitrogenous fertilizer was discovered in 1903. However, availability of agro-chemicals became very common after the Second World War and the agriculture started becoming more and more chemical based. Synthetic fertilizers were introduced in India during 1965-66 and their use grew rapidly along with the high yielding varieties during the green revolution period and Indian farming, by and large, became chemical based. However, by the end of the twentieth century the ill-effects of such chemical-based farming were very well understood by the common Indian people and demand for organically produced food started growing. Different methods and procedures of growing organic food got popularity among the growers, however, a sense of confusion on package of practices on organic/natural farming kept on growing simultaneously. This review article was designed to make various concepts related to organic/natural farming crystal clear for the readers. Principals of organic farming, crop cultivation strategies in organic/natural farming, challenges in organic/ natural farming and possibilities and suggestions in organic/natural farming have been elaborately articulated in this review.
