Exceptionally high lake levels in East Africa have caused extensive disruption of the social and economic activities of the affected areas. Various studies suggest that global climate systems provide little evidence that link the lake rises and ENSO and IOD events in East Africa. Other studies have attributed the extreme lake levels.....

A hydrogeological calculation method is given to determine the partial restoration of the piezometric pressure in the artesian aquifer when the flow rate of the fountain pumping water from there is abrupt reduced at some point in time. During the development of the calculation method, it was assumed that at the same time with the fountain well, in the same place, an injecting vertical well would start operating, the flow rate of which would be equal to that reduced size. It is also accepted that although the edge condition on a fountain well is non-linear, the principle of superposition applies here...... ReadMore

West Africa is a semiarid region with a rapidly growing population and a very low gross domestic product. Climate change poses a major and growing threat to global food security. In many regions, agricultural production is already being adversely affected by rising temperatures, increased temperature variability, changes in levels and frequency of precipitation......

Rice Grain Discolouration (GD) is caused by a complex group of microorganisms. It is an emerging condition capable of causing significant reduction in the quality and quantity of paddy produce in Guyana. The symptoms of GD were observed on all the popular rice cultivar cultivated by the Guyanese farmers...... ReadMore

Almost all economic sectors suffered from the COVID-19 pandemic and many companies survived, or even increased profits, thanks to e-commerce. Agriculture, that tends to follow a traditional business model neglecting internet, reported notable losses in 2020. As always, not all the farms suffered to the same extent, so the goal of the empirical analysis presented in this study is to test whether owning a website from which the production could be sold directly helped firms making profits......

The elder is a tree native to Europe that measures up to 6 meters, its flowers are white, and its fruits are purple. The fruits of this tree are produced throughout the year in cities such as Bogota, Colombia, and nowadays, the felling of this tree is increasing every day, and it is used as an ornamental tree and food for livestock. To use the residues in the treatment of this tree, this research seeks to design and manufacture an artisanal jam from elderberries. The main objective is to offer a healthy and wholesome food product that will help to promote the benefits of the tree and to increase its planting. The method used was divided into phases: gathering information about the shrub, elaboration of parameters for berry selection, process construction, pilot test for jam production, production adjustments, packaging selection and selec.....

A germination laboratory experiment was conducted at Cell Research Department, FCRI, ARC to study the effect of different salinity levels 0, 1000, 3000, 5000, 7000, and 9000 mg L–1 NaCl on twelve faba bean varieties that were arranged in a CRBD in three replications. Results of ANOVA showed that the effect of variety, salt concentration, and their interactions were significant (LSD at the level of p <0.05) for the different germination parameters i.e. germination rate index (GRI), germination index (GI), germination velocity (GV), the last day of germination (LDG), the first day of germination (FDG), final germination % (FG%), time spread of germination (TSG), as well as, the relative salt damage rate (RSDR). The increase in salinity level led to a decrease in germination percentage in all varieties. Giza- 40 and Misr-1 va..... ReadMore

Brassica napus L. (canola seeds) is one of the major edible oil sources in all over the world and is cultivated mainly for its oil rich seed. This study was assessed the utility to invigorate artificially deteriorated canola seeds (expose to 40°C and 100% Relative humidity for 24 hours) by hydro-priming (distilled water 100ml), halo-priming (NaCl), osmo-priming (KNO3), nutrient-priming (KH2PO4) solutions of 1, 2, 3 and 4% respectively for 8 hours and compared with control. Priming treatments cause significant germination percentage increase in hydro-priming (70%) with maximum seedling vigor index I and II (594.42 and 2.80). In NaCl 1% it was 66.67% as compare to control (48.33%). In KNO3 priming it was maximum at 4% (58.33%) and in KH2PO4 at 1% (60%). Results of experiment conclude that hydro-priming induced rap.....
