Aquaponics: A sustainable system
Oluwatosin Abidemi Ogunkalu
Aquaponics practice has the potential to improve human lives in so many ways. There are global problems as a result of increased demand for animal protein sources and increased food to reduce hunger, such as deamination of soil, climate change, food and water scarcity, increased population, and many others. Aquaponics as a sustainable structure could solve global problems if all its management and practice are employed. Moreover, there are various aspects of aquaponics that need to be explore for its full potential to be utilized. Although various researchers have done some notable works on it, This review article focuses more on the benefits of the aquaponic system as a sustainable practice through efficient use of water and reduction of fertilizer use reduce greenhouse gas emission and these benefits would render the globe a safe environment as climate change will be influence positively and with a surplus of food and water even in the face of an increased population.

Application of Geostatistics on the Distribution Pattern of Rice Plant Bacterial Leaf Blight Disease
Salsa Billa Ari Nur Izza,
Herry Nirwanto,
Sri Wiyatiningsih
Rice (Oryza sativa) is the main food source in Indonesia. The demand for rice continues to increase with population growth. In 2019, rice production in East Java decreased by 5.50 million tons. The rice production did not meet the national food demand, one of the obstacles to the cultivation of rice is the presence of bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae.Bacterial leaf blight is an important disease because it can cause severe damage and can infect the vegetative and generative phases of rice plants. This study was conducted to determine the influence of abiotic environmental factors and distribution patterns of bacterial leaf blight disease through geostatistical approach with variogram and kriging on rice fields with symptoms of bacterial leaf blight disease in Sadang Village, Taman, Sidoarjo. The results of the study for six weeks showed that the distribution of leaf blight bacterial diseases at the study site tended to be high clustered in the north-south direction compared to the east-west direction. The values of the incidence rate at the end of the observation ranged from 20-68% with a pH of about 6-6.9.

Genetic evaluation in self-pollinating populations by cross-selection to improve maize plants (Article Review)
Saifuldeen Ahmed Hasan,
Mohammed Bustan Hanoon,
Muthafar Khshan Khadhum,
Raeed Mejbel Abdullah,
Muntasser Khudhur Sahi
The production rate of maize plants per unit area is still low in Iraq, low crop yield per unit area, the lack of genotypes that have a genetic potential that qualifies them for high production and adaptation to the Iraqi environment, in addition to poor crop service operations, whic1h made researchers in the field of this crop to search for all scientific means, including breeding and improving individual hybrids, distinguished by its superiority in grain yield, by eliciting the internal breeding strains of the hybrids, by interbreeding them with one of the mating methods, then evaluate them genetically to find out the best and use them in agriculture, to increase the rate of production per unit area. This crop did not receive much attention from workers in the field of raising yellow corn in Iraq, whether in research centers or Iraqi universities, compared to yellow corn, which is widely grown in Iraq, possibly due to the limited local genetic resources available (although a limited number of local varieties were developed), or the difficulty of introducing modern genotypes from developed countries in the production of this crop. In selection programs depends primarily on the presence of genotypic, knowledge and understanding of genetic behavior and the correlations between these traits, determining the most influential traits as a criterion for selection, by knowing the correlation between these traits and the quotient, plant breeders resort to selection for traits among the yield components, because the grain yield is a complex characteristic, affected by a large number of legacies and environmental factors, do not respond to election easily. The selection for it may not be effective because of the link between its components, therefore, the lack of pure varieties approved and adapted to the Iraqi environment, lack of research centers producing varieties with high productivity, the productivity of barley has decreased compared to global production, because of the continuous cultivation of the same old varieties, failure to maintain its genetic purity with increasing sensitivity, therefore, plant breeders must resort to the shortest methods, to provide new genetic structures from regions and origins similar to the conditions of the Iraqi environment.

Histopathological characteristics of some internal organs in rabbits fed dietary ripe gmelina fruit pulp meal as replacement for maize
Ubua J. A.,
Mahmood H. U.,
Azuaga C. I.
This study evaluated the histopathological characteristics of some internal organs in rabbits fed diets containing ripe gmelina fruit pulp meal (RGFPM) as replacement for maize. Forty cross bred weaned rabbits (5-6 weeks old) of both sexes (20 bucks & 20 does) were used in this study. They were managed based on standard experimental procedures in wooden cages housed in a standard building with half walls for cross ventilation. There were eight rabbits per treatment. The rabbits were randomly assigned to the diets using a completely randomized design (CRD) after equalizing for body weight and sex. Five experimental diets were formulated with RGFPM replacing maize at 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% levels for T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively. The proximate composition of RGFPM was determined. The rabbits were allowed to adjust for two weeks before the commencement of the feeding trial and within this period they were placed on the control diet. Thereafter, the rabbits were subjected to nine weeks feeding trial and at the end, they were sacrificed and organs (kidney and liver) harvested for histopathological evaluation using standard laboratory methods. Result of the proximate composition of the ripe gmelina fruit pulp meal revealed dry matter, crude protein (CP), ether extracts (EE), crude fibre (CF), ash and Nitrogen free extracts (NFE) contents as 82.37, 6.07, 0.52, 19.63, 3.31 and 52.12 % respectively. Histological sections of the kidney and liver showed slight tissue alterations and damages at replacement levels beyond 50%; specifically, both organs showed obvious cellular disintegration at 75 and 100% RGFPM levels as replacement for maize. The study concluded that ripe gmelina fruit pulp meal is fairly low in crude protein but high in crude fibre and could serve as a replacement for maize in rabbit diets at levels ≤ 50%, without compromising the histological arrangements and cellular integrity of important organs like the kidney and liver.

Indonesia is an agrarian country with the agricultural sector playing an important role in the economy. However, farmers' lives are still far from prosperous, causing economic inequality in income distribution. Poverty in Indonesia is a major problem in both rural and urban areas. Data from the Central Statistics Agency as of March 2022 shows East Java as the province with the highest number of poor people. Pacitan Regency is an isolated area with an area of 1,389.92 km2, most of which are barren hills. The Gini ratio measures inequality between rich and poor, with the highest inequality occurring in 2019 and the lowest in 2009. Ngadirojo District is included in the category of class III karst areas that allow mining activities. Inequality in income distribution creates major problems, including increasing fuel tariffs, political stability ahead of the 2024 elections, world political stability, extreme weather and climate change, and the haunting recession. The Gini coefficient (Gini Ratio) is used to calculate the income inequality level of 100 sample farmers in Cokrokembang Village. The Gini coefficient (Gini Ratio) through the Lorenz curve graph shows that the income inequality of rice farmers in Cokrokembang Village is quite high. The income of rice farmers from rice farming is below the District/City Minimum Wage (UMK) of Pacitan Regency. The income inequality of rice farmers in Cokrokembang Village reaches 0.88, which is included in the category of high inequality, shown by the widening of the Lorenz curve.

Whitefly pest (Bemissia tabacci) is one of the causes of low productivity of cayenne pepper in Indonesian. The use of technology that is still low for whitefly pest control and ineffective monitoring efforts are still obstacles faced by farmers. Incorrect predictions as an effort to control whitefly pests can result in environmental damage due to excessive pestride. Therefore, the prediction of attack rates and production results by utilizing drone imagery technology is expected to be more effective and efficient. The study was aimed at determining the estimated results of damage due to whitefly pests and knowing the correlation of the results of drone image analysis with the results of cayenne pepper crop production in Brejel Lor Hamlet, Pucuk Village. Based on the results of observation and image processing, drone image analysis obtained an accuracy value of y = 1,4669x + 0,1372 R = 0.6, this shows strong accuracy, therefore drone image analysis can detect symptoms of whitefly pest attacks in cayenne pepper plant fields. Analysis of drone imagery of production results also showed a corresponding pattern, high whitefly pest infestation rates gained lower production weight. Environmental factors greatly influence the high and low attack of whitefly pests.

The role of biochar in the growth of ornamental plants
Karima Abd Aidan Al-Fatlawi
Charcoal is a black substance interspersed with pores resulting from the partial combustion of wood in isolation from air and is used as an energy source. It is a chemical reaction that results in a black mass at a relatively low temperature. Among its characteristics is the appearance of quantities of various kinds of impurities, and it is chemically linked to carbon, and it can be obtained industrially. Or naturally in various ways. It is produced in several types, such as charcoal, charcoal, and bone charcoal, and its importance lies in being the material that the plant needs in order to continue growing, as the charcoal contains carbon dioxide that the plant uses in the process of cellular respiration, and the charcoal consists of the waste of date palms. Charcoal, although it is a permanent fertilizer when used once, helps in preserving nutrients in the soil, and binds to the heavy metals present in it, which helps prevent them from reaching plants or leaking into the water supply, and this is the best way to combat pollution. In addition to being a sti- mulant for microbial activity and reducing toxic emission, it also protects plants from agricultural pests such as root beetles, and also contains sulfur and iron, which leads to an increase in yield by (10%).

Volatility of Beef Prices in the Global Market
Beef consumption in Indonesia tends to increase. National beef production is smaller than the demand for beef in Indonesia. So that to meet domestic meat consumption, beef imports are carried out. Importing countries need to pay attention to price volatility because if the price volatility of a commodity is high, it will have a bad impact on the importer. Therefore, the movement of meat prices in the global market needs to be understood by the government. This study aims to analyze the volatility of beef prices in the global market. The data used in this study is secondary monthly time series data from January 1960 to December 2020 from the World Bank's Pink Sheet Data. Beef price volatility analysis using ARIMA and ARCH-GARCH methods. The results showed that the highest volatility in beef prices occurred during the global economic recession in 2020. This volatility occurred at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, which had an impact on cattle production disturbances, but demand continued to even tend to rise, resulting in high price volatility. Local cattle production needs to be increased to reduce imports so that they are resistant to turmoil in the global market.

An Investigation on Different Tillage Practices to Enhance the Productivity of Sugar Cane in Tropical Regions – A Review
M.P. Charithangi,
H.M.M.S. Gunapala
Sugarcane is a tall, perennial grass species that is cultivated primarily for its juice, which is used to make sugar and other sweeteners. It belongs to the genus Saccharum and is native to tropical regions of South Asia and Southeast Asia. The plant typically grows up to 4-6 meters tall; with a thick stem or stalk that contains high levels of sucrose. Sugarcane is an important crop for many countries around the world, and is widely used in the production of sugar, molasses, rum, and biofuels. Tillage is an important agronomic practice in sugarcane cultivation that significantly impacts on the yield and quality of the crop. Hence, this scientific review aims to investigate the effects of different tillage practices to enhance the productivity of sugarcanes grown in the tropical regions. Accordingly, implementation of tillage practices prior to sugarcane cultivation is a prominent requirement. Rather than using conventional tillage method, it is important to implement the integrated tillage method. Trash shredding, press mud in-cooperate to soil, weed desiccation are another significant factors that influence the increase of sugarcane yield. Hence, it is important to implement the intregated tillage practice before planting the sugarcane in order to increase the yield. However, since the productivity performance of the sugarcane plant is highly dependent upon the other characteristics such variety, trash management, soil type, climate factors. Hence, selection of the proper tillage practice has a blended nature.

Higher Charge Density and Higher Reactivity of Particles with Nano Technology
Muhammad Arshad Ullah,
Ali Hassan,
Ameer Hamza
Nano-composites containing organic polymer intercalated in the layers of kaolinite clays can be used as a cementing materials to regulate the release of nutrients from congenital fertilizers. This process increases the nutrient-use efficiencies, besides preventing the environmental hazard. Similarly patented nano-composite consists of N, P, K and micronutrients and mannose and amino acids have shown to increase the uptake and utilization of nutrients by grain crops (. Biodegradable polymeric chitosan nanoparticles (~78 nm) showed good results for the slow release behavior of NPK fertilizers. Kaolin and polymeric biocompatible nanoparticles also have potential application in the slow release behavior of fertilizers. Surface modified zeolite as a carrier of slow-release phosphatic fertilizer was also developed. Mica is a layered aluminium silicate macromolecule with reactive groups on the surface. To graft acrylic acid polymer onto mica and fabricate a nanocomposite consisting of polymer and ultrafine mica particles is significant for reducing the production costs and improving the comprehensive water absorbing properties of the superabsorbent materials. Storage of infiltrated water increased, which indicated that nanocarbon could be beneficial for plant growth and could reduce losses of water due to percolation to deep soil layers. Superabsorbent polymers as water managing materials for the renewal of arid and desert environment has attracted great attention, and encouraging results have been observed as they can reduce irrigation water consumption, improve fertilizer retention in soil lower the death rate of plants, and increase plant growth.Nanotechnology can be used to make the availability of micronutrients to plants. Nano formulations of micronutrients can be sprayed on plants or can be supplied to the soil for uptake by roots to enhance soil health and vigor. In alkaline soils with high pH, the zinc availability to the crop plants due to the presence of calcium carbonate, this reduces zinc solubility and the high calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content, which can absorb and precipitate zinc. Hence, the common zinc oxides (ZnO) and zinc sulphates (ZnSO4•H2O) or (ZnSO4•7H2O) usage is limited due to non-availability of zinc to plants. Hence, zinc oxide nanoparticles can overcome this problem by providing a more soluble and available form of zinc to plants. The use of zinc oxide nanoparticles as zinc fertilizers may increase zinc dissolution and its bioavailability in soils with calcium carbonate. The nanotechnology can also be used in biofertilizer technology. Even though the biofertilizers are beneficial, some of their drawbacks such as short shelf life, temperature sensitivity and storage desiccation problems limit their usage in field conditions. Nanoparticles can also be effectively used to battle pests and insects and can be utilized for preparing new formulations such as pesticides, insect repellants, and insecticides. It can be utilized to transfer DNA and other chosen chemicals into plant tissues to protect host plants against pests. Porous hollow silica nanoparticles (PHSNs) loaded with validamycin (pesticide) can act as efficient delivery system for controlled release of water-soluble pesticides. This controlled release behavior makes PHSNs promising carriers in agriculture, especially for controlled delivery of pesticides that are needed to be immediately and gradually released in plants. Nanoparticles’ indirect effects are dependent on their physical and chemical properties and can include physical restraints (clogging effects), production of reactive oxygen species, or solubilization of toxic NP com-pounds. Silver is now an accepted agro-chemical replacement and many patents have been filed for “nano silver” and its use in treatment of diseases and preservation in agriculture.
