Farmers in the tropical environment face the acute problem of using mineral fertilizers due to their unsustainable attributes ranging from scarcity and high cost of the material to the adverse effects on tropical soil which resulted to soil acidity and pollution of underground water. This study evaluated the effects of rice-bran compost on the growth and yield of improved variety of soybean on an Alfisol, in Ibadan, Nigeria. The investigation involved a screen house experiment conducted at the Department of Agronomy, University of Ibadan. The experiment comprised five rates of compost (0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 t/ha) replicated four times with two pots per replicate in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) using soybean (TGX 1740- 1F) variety with a total of 40 pots in all. The data collected were subjected to analysis of variance ANOVA and Duncan multiple range test was used to separate the means. The experimental results showed significant differences (p˂0.05) among the levels of compost on soybean; however, 10 t/ha gave the highest value on the number of leaves while 7.5 t/ha performed better in respect of plant height compared with the other treatments. Also, rice bran compost at 10 t/ha produced statistically highest root and grain yields followed closely by 7.5 t/ha. However, 10 t/ha of rice bran compost promoted shoot performance. Soybean yield increased with higher rates of rice-bran compost. Soybean growth and yield are improved with a compost of rice- bran and cattle dung up to 7.5 t/ha to supply 95 kg N, 169 kg P and 12 kg K.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is of important major crops for its carbohydrate and plays important roles to support food sovereignty along with rice, wheat, corn, and sorghum. Potato growth and yield at West Sumatra has not reached its maximum potential due to some factors including cultivation. One major important constraint in potato growing in West Sumatra is the fact that farmers use the 8th to 12th generation of potato seedlings which have a very low agronomic potential. Yet, weeds have caused another problem in the field and reduce potato yield. An experiment has been conducted at the Laboratory of Microbiology, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Andalas and Nagari Alahan Panjang, Subdistrict Lembah Gumanti, Solok Regency from November 2018 to March 2019. The experiment was aimed at determining the best indigenous rhizobactria isolates to increase the growth and yield of potato plants as well as weed population dynamics associated with potato plants. Six isolates of indigenous rhizobacteria and a control treatment group were tested in a completely randomised design with three replicates. The isolates were L1 S3.1, L1 S3.2, L1 S4.4, L2 S1.2, L2 S2.3, L2 S3. 2. Data were analyzed with analysis of variance and mean separation with Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at 5%. Results showed that isolate L1 S4.4 was best in increasing the number of branches, number of tubers, and weight of potato yield. The isolates tested affected weed populations dynamics, prior to treatments there were 8 species of weeds found at the field i.e Bidens pilosa L., Leptochloa chinensis, Eleusine indica L., Agerathum conyzoides, Richardia sp, Galinsoga parviflora, and Sonchus arvensis. During potato growing at the field, weed species of Eleusine indica L. and Gynura divaricata dissappeared from the soil. In contrast,  Amaranthus spinosus emerged demonstrating that weed population dynamic has occurred.

A field experiment was conducted from February to June, 2020 at Bhatkanda, Dadeldhura, Nepal to assess the effectiveness of plastic mulches in potato production. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications comprising of five treatments viz: T1: white plastic mulch (white on black colored), T2: silver plastic mulch (silver on black colored), T3: perforated black plastic mulch, T4: black plastic mulch and T5: control (without mulch). Results revealed that the black plastic mulch significantly increased the rate of emergence while perforated black plastic exhibited highest values of all other studied growth parameters, yield components and quality parameters. The highest marketable tuber yield was obtained in perforated black plastic (6.05 kg/m2) followed by silver plastic (5.62 kg/m2), white plastic (5.46 kg/m2), black plastic (5.14 kg/m2) and lowest marketable tuber yield was obtained in control condition (4.07 kg/m2). Similarly, temperature difference between controlled and mulched condition at 15 cm depth of soil was observed up to 2.8°C with its highest value in black plastic mulch and lowest in control condition. The perforated black plastic mulch was found most economical with maximum value of net return (NRs. 1904.31 thousands/ha) and B: C ratio (5.83). This study concludes that the use of perforated black plastic mulch is most economical with optimum plant growth and yield, producing best quality potatoes under climatic condition of Dadeldhura, Nepal.

Abstract Purpose: The secondary metabolites of Java tea (Orthosiphon aristatus B) are effective to treat kidney inflammation, kidney stones, and other diseases. Abiotic factors have been known to determine the secondary metabolites contents of Java tea. This study aimed at evaluating the effects of soil temperature resulted from soil mulching and harvesting period on total phenol, flavonoid and antioxidant contents of Java tea. Methods: The research was carried out using nested with completely randomized design under a screen house at Karanganyar, Indonesia from July to December 2019. The first factor was soil mulching (control; black plastic mulch, transparent plastic mulch, biodegradable mulch and rice straw mulch) with three repetitions. The first factor was nested in second factor, namely harvesting period which consisted of two levels, i.e.: 80 and 100 days. The observation parameters were soil temperature of 10-minutes (maximum; mean; minimum and soil temperature based- growing degree days, GDD) with sensors and logger; plant growth (plant height, number of leaves, fresh and dry weight); and secondary metabolites including phenol, flavonoids and antioxidant. Results: The results confirmed the order of the highest to the lowest mean soil temperature was resulted under the transparent plastic mulch> straw > black plastic mulch >control > biodegradable plastic mulch (26.69 > 26.29 > 26.10 > 26.07 > 25.68 oC, respectively). The total phenol, flavonoids and antioxidant produced ranging from 193.75 – 412.50 mg GAE/ 100 g DW; 81.13 – 141.47 mg QE/ 100 g DW; and 1875.5 – 2144.4 µmol TE/g DW.Conclusion: Higher maximum soil temperature resulted into lower phenol content, while higher minimum soil temperature and shorter harvest period increased total flavonoid. Longer harvest period produced more total phenol and antioxidant due to bigger soil temperature based- Growing Degree Day (GDD).
