“…Moreover, this finding is similar to the discoveries of [36][37][38][39] , who described that proliferation in the distance between shallots plants from 5 to 20 cm occasioned a decrease in yields from 36.0 t ha −1 to 23.9 t ha −1 but most (86%) of the bulbs was very low and therefore could not be unmarketable at 5 cm intra-rows-space. Likewise 16 , found that the amount of total yield reduced with the rise in the intra-row-space of shallot.…”

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is an important bulb plant grown worldwide. Proper use of the agronomic practice has undoubtedly contributed to growing crop yields. The right level of any farming practice, like the distance between plants, plant density, date of planting, and time of harvest, can produce the wanted outcomes. Therefore, this research was piloted to evaluate the influence of plant spacing on the development of bulb harvest-related traits of onion varieties in Dambi Dollo University, Western Ethiopia, in 2021. Three onion varieties (Adama red, Monarch, Nafis) and four intra-row spaces (6 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm, and 12 cm) in factorial combinations were settled by a complete randomized block design which was simulated three times. The findings of the study indicate that all the factors related to crop growth and bulb yield of onion varieties were mainly influenced by different kinds and plant spacing. Conversely, the collaboration of these two factors did not affect all other factors, but the interaction of the two factors had a great effect on the days to maturity measured in this study. The highest plant height was registered on the onion planted at a distance of 10 cm (59.83 cm) and 12 cm (59.08 cm) distance between plants. The high commercial yields (34.44 t ha−1) and entire bulb yield (35.40 t ha−1) were found in the Nafis variety. The highest marketable yields (31.12 ha−1) and entire marketable yield (31.78 ha−1) were recorded on an onion plant planted 10 cm between plants. Therefore, in the research area, farmers can use a variety of Nafis and a 10 cm distance between plants to increase their onion production.

“…Originally the absorption peaks at 664 nm were abundant and superior to the absorption peaks at 615 nm, which provides great alteration between their intensity. After 35 min, these differences are weakened, hence representing that the amount of degradations of monomer is much more sophisticated than that of the dimer [ 60 , 61 ]. Additionally, the decreases in the intensity of the two crests and a small shift in the direction of the blues of the groups positioned at 664 nm were also perceived.…”

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared through Rosmarinus-officinalis leaf extracts at 90 and 200°C. In this research, the degradations of methylene blues by using TiO2 nanoparticles Sun light radiations were studied. The synthesized materials were characterized using XRDs, UV-Vis, PL, SEM, TEM, EDS and XPS. The results displayed that bio-synthesis temperatures intrude the shapes and sizes of TiO2 nanoparticles. For TiO2-90, micrographs show separable crystalline with irregular morphologies and agglomerate cubic particles. For the other TiO2-200 sample, SEM and TEM micro-imaging shows crumbly agglomerated cubic structures. The XRD shows that the intense peaks observed at angles of 25.37°, 37.19°, 47.81° and 53.89° confirming a highly crystalline oriented as (004), (200), and (105) planes respectively. The optical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized were conveyed by PL and UV-Vis. The energy band gap calculated was 3.0 eV for both samples; that indicates heating temperature didn’t influence the band gap of the samples. The elemental composition Ti and O2 is shown by EDS and XPS. Photo-catalytic experiments discovered that TiO2-90 nanoparticles were well-organized in photo-degradations of MB, likened to TiO2-200. The great activities of TiO2-90 were because of better physicochemical characteristics associated with TiO2-200 effectively degrading MB under photo-light. Photo-degradations of dye under sunlight as plentifully obtainable energy sources by TiO2, synthesized by simpler techniques, can be hopeful to grow an eco-friendly and economical process.

In this research work, we have synthesized non-crystalline Se85Te3Bi12 chalcogenide glasses by conventional melt quenching technique. The differential scanning calorimetry measurement of the synthesized specimen was done to confirm the glassy as well as non-crystalline nature of the bulk Se85Te3Bi12 alloy. The nano-thin films of thickness 30 nm of the synthesized sample at two different ambient argon pressures (1 Torr and 3 Torr) were made using the physical vapor condensation technique at a constant substrate temperature of 77 K using liquid nitrogen. The non-appearance of prominent peaks in the high-resolution x-ray diffractometer profile confirmed the non-crystalline nature of synthesized nano-thin films. The morphological analysis of the prepared nano-thin films using Field emission scanning electron microscopy confirmed the nanochalcogenide having particle size ranges from 30–90 nm. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy suggests the presence of moisture and carbon impurities in the prepared nano-thin films. The broad optical transmission shadow observed in the FTIR results is an essential requirement for new-generation IR systems. Based on UV-visible spectroscopy, optical parameters such as optical absorption coefficients, Urbach energy, optical band gaps, Tauc’s parameter and extinction coefficients were measured for synthesized Se85Te3Bi12 nano-thin films. The value of absorption coefficients, Tauc’s parameters, optical band gap and extinction coefficients increases with the increase of ambient argon pressure. The outcome of these studies recommends that these materials can be a preeminent candidate for photovoltaic applications. Photoluminescence spectroscopy results are accredited to the accumulation of non-crystalline nanochalcogenide particles on the substrates. DC conductivity measurements further confirm the semiconducting nature of the nanochalcogenide Se85Te3Bi12 thin films.
