“…One of the causes of land degradation is erosion. This is in accordance with [13] which states that critical land from an erosion perspective is defined as agricultural land with conditions where the rate of soil loss due to rainwater exceeds the rate of soil formation itself. The erosion that occurs will transport soil to the top layer of soil, namely fertile soil that is rich in nutrients, so the greater the erosion that occurs, the more soil fertility will decrease.…”

The Bilah Sub-Watershed area includes areas that have somewhat critical or semi-critical land so that land use is the result of human efforts in managing the available resources to meet their various needs. This often results in land use not being in accordance with its capabilities. This research aims to examine the chemical properties of several vegetation in Negeri Lama Seberang Village, Bilah Hilir District, Labuhanbatu Regency. The research was carried out from December to March 2024 using a survey method. Soil samples were taken at 3 points for each vegetation and different slopes at depths of 1-10 cm and 10-20 cm using a simple random method. The soil parameters measured were soil acidity (electrometry), soil organic carbon content (Walkley and Black), and soil texture (bouyoucos hydrometer). Soil analysis was carried out at the Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of North Sumatra. The results of this research show that on a slope of 0-8% the average soil pH value is 4.61% and organic C is 1.04%, while on a slope of 8-15% the average soil pH value is 4.46% and C -organic 0.91%. On a slope of 0-8% the average value of the clay fraction is 20.27%, the dust fraction is 15.02% and the sand fraction is 64.41%, while on a slope of 8-15% the average value of the clay fraction is 27.48%, the dust fraction 19.87%, and sand fraction 52.63%.

“…However, this corresponds to the inquiry of (Kumara et al, 2021). On another terrain, the stride of (Noor et al, 2019) indicated higher yields with the usage of the seed drill. It is further implored that agribusiness farmers should leverage other platforms to enhance the comprehensive ease of operating the seed drill.…”

The objectives are to: determine the efficacy of entrepreneurial training in enhancing youths' employability skills in rural communities; explore the extent to which entrepreneurial training influences the soft skills of Nigerian youths in promoting economic activities in rural communities and; dissect the influences of entrepreneurial training on the hard skills of Nigerian youths in the quest to promote economic activities in rural areas. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was employed, multi-stage sampling technique was adopted to sample the rural communities and the respondents, and the sample size is 100. The study reveals that the identified agricultural opportunity during entrepreneurial training pushed youths into agribusiness (71%), resilience strategy for agribusiness is still strange (62%), thinking creatively has become strategy to grow agribusiness (91%) and, inability to get job pushed youth into agribusiness (71%). It therefore recommends that further training is still needed for the survival and resilience of the agribusinesses.

“…After 30-35 days, the grafted plants under uniform growing (temperature and humidity) conditions were transplanted into greenhouse having 20 m x 50 m (1000 m 2 ) dimensions. The land was prepared conventionally for all treatments using M.B plough, Disc harrow, cultivator and soil leveler (Noor et al, 2019a). The soil characteristics were pH 7.3, electrical conductivity (EC) 0.14 mS cm −1 , NO3 15 mg dm 3 , P 4 mg•dm 3 , K 31 mg dm 3 , Ca 28 mg dm 3 , Mg 17 mg dm 3 , and total nitrogen 0.25%.…”

Agrochemical based agriculture production is neither sustainable nor eco-friendly. A cost effective and sustainable organic farming is the need of time for better yield and quality. The efficient use of energy inputs improves productivity, profitability and economy. In this regard, we carried out this research for greenhouse hybrid cucumber (Kalam F1) production at Institute of Hydroponic Agriculture, Rawalpindi for the year 2017 to 2019 cropping season. The main objective was to evaluate the yield, energy and economic feasibility of greenhouse cucumber production under different farming treatments such as inorganic, organic and integrated fertilization application. The analysis was carried out based on energy use efficiency, energy productivity, benefits to cost ratio and amount of renewable and nonrenewable energies. The obtained results depicted that the total energy inputs for inorganic, organic and integrated greenhouse productions were 45856.3, 42945.3 and 54070.0 MJ ha −1 , respectively. Energy use efficiency was 4.19, 4.84 and 4.87 while the energy productivity was 1.25 kg MJ −1 , 1.26 kg MJ −1 and 1.40 kg MJ −1 under inorganic, organic and integrated fertilizer treatments, respectively. The average percentages of direct, indirect, renewable and non-renewable energies were 11%, 32.9%, 11.7% and 32.2% of the total energy, respectively. The net return of integrated farming treatment was highest (43135.60 $ ha −1) than organic (23555.33 $ ha −1) and inorganic (25127.93 $ ha −1) farming treatments. Similarly, the benefit to cost ratio were 7.75, 6.03 and 6.57, respectively from integrated to inorganic farming treatments. According to results, greenhouse cucumber production under integrated treatment showed high energy use efficiency, energy productivity, net return and benefit to cost ratio in comparison with organic and inorganic treatments which proved to be profitable practice for greenhouse cucumber production than organic and inorganic farming treatments.
