Geographical Aspects of Organizing Natural Resource Management Structure in Kazakhstani Section of a New Economic Zone of the Silk Road

The objective of this review was to determine soybean losses at different stages postharvest handling and to recommend technology intervention for sustainable solutions and maintenance of quality. Secondary data collected globally from published articles, ranging between the years 2000 to 2020 were utilized to determine the causes and to provide technology innovation to abate the problems. Soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) is one of the most important legume crops in the world due to its uses namely food, feed, oil, and nutrient supplement for humans, livestock, industries, and plants respectively. In Sub-Saharan Africa, the average yield has remained at 1.1 t/ha compared to 2.4 t/ha in the world and this region is known for the highest malnutrition and food insecurity in the world. In Cameroon, most of the soybean grains are imported, however, trials are currently been conducted to identify varietal adaptability to scale up production in the different agroecological zones. Stakeholders such as producers, distributors, processors, and consumers are faced with seriously signi icant postharvest losses along the grain value chain. Both quantitative and qualitative losses were identi ied with mostly incurred in storage because of biotic and abiotic factors. Technology intervention occurs in the system particularly in storage facilities and packaging such as hermetic and triple packaging respectively is indispensable in reducing postharvest losses. The discovery of effective marketable botanicals for use in storage is invaluable for small-scale producers in Cameroon and other developing countries for grain protection against pests and diseases.

Improving postharvest handling of soybean (Glycine Max (L.) Merrill) in Cameroon

2019

“…Tectonic activity is a very good aspect in geothermal exploration, especially in relation to permeability and luid pathways. The only surface manifestations in the area are the hot springs with average temperature of 98 ᴼC and rock alterations [10,11]. Heat associated with plutonism is most likely to be the heat source for the geothermal system of Lilli-Sepporaki area [12].…”

Geothermal reservoir prediction using electrical resistivity maps: A case study of Lili Sepporaki Indonesia

2019

The objective of this study is to predict the location of the geothermal reservoir through interpretation of Magnetotelluric depth-resistivity maps, with reference to Lili-Sepporaki geothermal area. Lili-Sepporaki is a nonmagmatic prospect located in Polewali Mandar, Western Sulawesi-Indonesia. The study area is dominated by andesitic to trachytic to trachytic tertiary volcanic products. The only thermal manifestations in the area are the hot springs and rock alterations. Previous geochemical studies found out the hot spring water has temperature of 98 o C and the reservoir temperature of 190 o C. A big portion of the surface rocks are weathered and hydrothermally altered owing to indings from magnetic and Bouguer gravity surveys. This research utilized two-dimensional magnetotellurics data to locate resistivity anomalies in the subsurface. MT data was processed using SSMT2000 and MTEditor software programs while WinGLink software was used in the interpretation of the data. Four resistivity maps were obtained, each corresponding to one of the depths: 500 m; 1000 m; 1500 m; and 2000 m. There is a general sharp reduction in resistivity as opposed to the conventional resistivity of fresh igneous rocks. Analysis shows that the reservoir appears between depths of 1000 m and 2000 in different parts of the survey area, with prospect boundaries located in the South, South West and South East. A three-dimensional MT data analysis and exploration drilling are recommendable in order to get a detailed geothermal model.

“…Biological fertilizers play a role in in luencing the availability of macro and micro nutrients, nutrient ef iciency, performance of enzyme systems, and increasing growth metabolism and crop yield. This technology has a more promising prospect as well as its real impact on improving yield, also more environmentally friendly [8,9,10]. The purpose of this study was to study biological agents that can inhibit N 2 and dissolve P in the soil, to know the effect of biological agents and inorganic fertilizers on vegetative growth of sugarcane and to obtain the proper dosage from the combination of inorganic fertilizers and biological agents for optimal vegetative growth of sugarcane.…”

The effect of biofertilizer and inorganic fertilizer on the vegetative growth of sugarcane (Saccharum Officinarum)

2018

Sugarcane requires large nutrients during the growth period for the ful illment of nutrients cane derives from inorganic fertilizers. Continuous inorganic fertilizer application would be at risk of soil conditions. It requires new technologies to reduce the dose of inorganic fertilizers, such as biological agents. The purpose of this is knowing the effect of combination of biological agents with inorganic fertilizers, and inding the right dose for the combination of biological agents with inorganic fertilizer for the growth of sugarcane. The research was conducted in the village Pakiskembar, Pakis, subdistrict Malang. The study used a randomized block design with 7 treatments and 4 replications. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA); if there is a signi icant difference, then it is followed by a further test of LSD 5%. The results showed the effect of combination of inorganic fertilizer with biological agents. There are signi icant differences in plant height and length of the rod at 139 DAP, stem diameter at 153 DAP, and the number of tillers at 97 DAP. P5 (NPK 300 kg ha −1 + ZA 400 kg ha −1 + Biofertilizer 30 L ha −1 ) is known to give good growth in most but not signi icantly different from P1 (NPK 400 kg ha −1 + ZA 600 kg ha −1 ). Combination of inorganic fertilizer with biological agents can lower the dose of inorganic fertilizer, and biological agents can provide nutrients needed for sugarcane so that the use of inorganic fertilizers can be reduced.
