While shaping an impression of the Third World from post-colonial, non-aligned to less developed states today, security concerns over the region, more or less, remained a status quo in a handful of international security scholars. This article explores various security challenges, including internal, regional, transnational and international of Asia, Africa and Latin American countries, the then considered Third World. Military interventions, illegal migration and narco-terrorism of Latin America; Demographic derivatives, ethnical conflicts and transnational organized crimes in Africa; Terrorism, failing states and climate security issues of Asia are considered to be key security concerns hereunder. This article aims to contribute towards building collective action for stabilizing and sustaining the world peace. It seeks to off er an alternative understanding of constantly evolving security dimensions. Some of those enshrined alternative practical approaches include confinement of military to external defense, Cartegena Declaration implementation for illegal migrants, Custom controls in drug trade, turning youth bulge to demographic dividend, inclusive participation of ethnic groups, technology enforced crime patrol, scooping out Islamism from terrorism, active participation of non-state actors in nation building and finally increased international collaboration eff orts with indigenous technical knowledge for resilient climate strategy Drawing on quantitative data from recognized platforms, elite interviews on security dialogues, reputed newspapers, e-books, and journal articles, this article confronts us with the necessity to fertilize fragile nations of the Third World against the backdrop of economic, social, political, cultural, and environmental origins.
A field experiment on LCC-based N management was carried out at Rajapur, Bardiya during the spring season of 2021 to determine the growth and productivity of spring rice varieties. The experiment was laid out in strip plot design with three replications. The treatment consisted of four varieties (Chaite-5, Hardinath-1, Hardinath 1-F1, and Hardinath-3) in horizontal plots and five levels of LCC-based N management practices (Pure LCC, 25% N (basal) + LCC, Recommended dose of fertilizer in three splits, Farmer’s dose, and no nitrogen) in vertical plots. The results showed that Pure LCC-based nitrogen management produced the highest grain yield (6.24 t ha-1) followed by 25% N basal +LCC (5.77 t ha-1). LCC-based treatments produced a significantly higher yield than recommended dose applied in three splits. The higher yield in pure LCC was because of higher yield attributes like effective tillers m-2, higher thousand-grain weight, lower sterility percentage, longer panicle length, and higher panicle weight. Hardinath-3 and Hardinath 1-F1 with pure LCC produced significantly higher yields than other treatment combinations. The spring rice varieties Hardinath 1-F1 and Hardinath-3 were high yielders than Hardinath-1 and Chaite-5. The higher yield of Hardinath-3 was due to higher number of effective tillers m-2, longer panicle length, and higher panicle weight. Similarly, the higher yield of Hardinath1-F1 was mainly due to higher thousand-grain weight and higher number of effective tillers m-2 as compared to other varieties except for Hardinath-3. The varieties Hardinath 1-F1 and Hardinath-3 with pure LCC-based N management were high-yielders in Bardiya-like climatic conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
