Economic Sustainability and Development

This research was carried out in 2023 in a total of 5 cities (Muqdisho, Afgooye, Baydoa, Jowhar and Belet-hawa) from different regions of Somalia, in order to reveal the problems faced by legume growers and to investigate ways to solve them, thus contributing to food security and agricultural sustainability. A total of 100 farmers, 20 randomly selected from each province, participated in 30 survey questions face to face. As a result of the research conducted in the mentioned regions, it was seen that there are problems in pest and disease control, weed control, fertilizer application and irrigation techniques and water use in legume agriculture. These problems are the main factors affecting the production of legumes. In order to prevent such problems and mistakes, farmers need to pay extra attention to get better quality and higher yields from their legume production, and sustainability-based studies must be increased to solve such problems, especially for food security.

Farming Legumes for Food Security and Agricultural Sustainability in Somalia

“…The availability of protein and starch in sufficient proportions, together with fiber, vitamins and microelements, has made legumes an important source of nutrients and the focus of attention. The added value of legumes can be increased by physically breaking them down into essential components such as protein, starch and fiber and using these products as additives to increase the nutritional value of the food (Ceyhan 2004;Ceyhan et al 2014;Doruk Kahraman and Kahraman 2023). Therefore, legumes are important for the sustainability of food safety (Onder et al, 2011;Kahraman 2022b;Küçük and Ceyhan 2022;Tamüksek and Ceyhan 2022;Tekin and Ceyhan 2022).…”

Present study was conducted to determine the effects of potassium doses applied to mung bean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] genotypes on seed yield and important yield components. Field trial was carried out in 2020 in the Prof. Dr. Abdülkadir AKÇİN experimental fields belongs to Faculty of Agriculture located in Alaaddin Keykubat Campus. The study consisted of a total of 45 plots with 3 replications by applying 5 potassium doses (0,10,20,30,40 kg/da K2SO4) on 3 mung bean genotypes (Ermenek, Turkmenistan, Aşağıçağlar) and was planned according to the Factorial Trial Design in Random Blocks. According to the results of the analysis of variance, the difference between genotypes was statistically significant in terms of seed yield, while the difference between potassium doses was statistically significant in terms of protein content. According to the results of the research, the highest seed yield was obtained from the Aşağıçağlar genotype with 20.57 g/plant as the average of the potassium doses, and the plots that were applied 20 kg/da of potassium (18.16 g/plant) as the average of the genotypes. Smiliarly, the highest protein content was obtained from the Ermenek genotype (25.18%) and from the plots (25.47%) treated with 10 kg/da potassium. As an average of potassium doses, the Aşağıçağlar genotype came to the forefront in terms of important yield factors such as thousand seed weight (69.13 g), plant height (54.52 cm) and first pod height (26.09 cm).

“…Beans, which can be grown in every region of our country, are most common in Central Anatolia. Bean, which has a very important place in the economy, is an important source of income for the farmer (Ulum et al, 2020;Doruk Kahraman and Kahraman, 2023).…”

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of 5 different doses of potassium (0, 15, 20, 25 and 30 kg da-1) on some yield and important yield components on 6 different dry bean genotypes of bean [Phaseolus vulgaris L.] in Yunak Town – Konya City (TURKIYE) ecological conditions. was made in 2018. The aforementioned research was designed with 3 replications based on "Split Plots in Randomized Blocks Trial Design". According to the results of the research, it has been determined that potassium applications at different doses are statistically significant in terms of emergence time, flowering time, pod setting time, and vegetation period. As a result of the research; the emergence period was 6.33 – 15.67 days, the flowering period 32.00 – 71.67 days, the pod setting time 48.67 – 88.00 days, the vegetation period 84.67 – 118.00 days, the spad value 41.57 – 53.87 spad, number of main branches per plant 2.90 – 5.00, first pod height 9.40 – 18.40 cm, root neck diameter of 4.97 – 31.50 mm, the number of pods per plant varied between 13.30 – 42.00, the number of seeds per pod varied between 3.20 – 5.67 values. When evaluated in general, emergence time, flowering time, pod setting time increased with increasing potassium application, while vegetation time, and first pod height (maximum value at 15 kg da-1 dose) values decreased. In the study, all of the shortest duration values in terms of all phonological observations emerged in the Akkiraz genotype, which was applied at a fertilizer dose of 15 kg da-1. The highest value for the first pod height was determined in the 25 kg da-1 fertilizer dose X Nirvana genotype, the highest pod number value in the 20 kg da-1 fertilizer dose X Nirvana genotype, the highest seed number value in 15 kg da-1 fertilizer dose X Nirvana genotype. For the consistency of the research findings, it can be said that longer-term studies and evaluation of different genotypes in different ecologies are required.
