“…A significant risk factor for this condition is excessive oxalate excretion in the urine (hyperoxaluria) (Kumar et al, 2021). The diet has a key influence on stone development (Nedunchezhiyan et al, 2021), hence limiting calcium oxalate stone formation in the kidney by avoiding high-oxalate diets and eating calcium-rich dairy foods (Singh et al, 2020).…”

Elephant foot yam (EFY) includes a high degree of nutritious fiber, carbohydrates, glucose, protein, and sugars. It also has plenty of calcium, sodium, potassium, and vitamin C, and is a promising source of starch. Due to the presence of oxalate and acridity, EFY has been extensively underused. Researchers have employed a variety of ways to decrease calcium oxalate, including boiling and NaCl treatment. A novel technique like ultrasound is a promising technique for the reduction of antinutritional factors effectively by keeping the natural phytoconstituents in it. The reduction of antinutritional factors by ultrasonication resulted from the high temperatures and pressures generated amid the collapse phase of cavitation bubbles. Microwave heating depends on the dielectric properties of the food. The dielectric constant is the ability to absorb the energy, and dielectric loss is the ability to reflect where it is dissipated as heat. Because of its heat‐labile nature and the formation of insoluble complexes, microwave treatment reduces the antinutrient component. This review focused on several studies on yam oxalate concentrations that were conducted using various treatments. This would help researchers and the food industry find more effective strategies to reduce the antinutritional factor using frequency‐controlled power ultrasound.

“…Weeds can compete with crops for primary resources such as water, sunlight, nutrients, and space. Moreover, weeds may contribute to allelopathic reactions that inhibit crop growth and development [14,16,18]. Since weeds are deleterious to crop production and their control or management can be resource-intensive, understanding and quantifying their impacts is essential to developing appropriate strategies that promote sustainable crop production whilst minimizing the wasteful use of critical resources [18,19].…”

“…While several factors may contribute to low yields and inferior product quality in many farmer's fields, poor weed management is often the primary contributing factor [9,13]. This can be attributed to the initial slow growth of these crops, which results in them being poor weed competitors, particularly during the early stages of crop development [9,[13][14][15][16][17]. Weeds can compete with crops for primary resources such as water, sunlight, nutrients, and space.…”

In light of a growing population and climate change compounding existing pressures on the agri-food system, there is a growing need to diversify agri-food systems and optimize the productivity and diversity of smallholder farming systems to enhance food and nutrition security under climate change. In this context, improving weed management takes on added significance, since weeds are among the primary factors contributing to crop yield losses for smallholder farmers. Adopting remote-sensing-based approaches to facilitate precision agricultural applications such as integrated weed management (IWM) has emerged as a potentially more effective alternative to conventional weed control approaches. However, given their unique socio-economic circumstances, there remains limited knowledge and understanding of how these technological advancements can be best utilized within smallholder farm settings. As such, this study used a systematic scoping review and attribute analysis to analyze 53 peer-reviewed articles from Scopus to gain further insight into remote-sensing-based IWM approaches and identify which are potentially best suited for smallholder farm applications. The findings of this review revealed that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are the most frequently utilized remote sensing platform for IWM applications and are also well suited for mapping and monitoring weeds within spatially heterogeneous areas such as smallholder farms. Despite the potential of these technologies for IWM, several obstacles to their operationalization within smallholder farm settings must be overcome, and careful consideration must be given on how best to maximize their potential before investing in these technologies.

“…In another development, intercropping maize with soybean enhanced some yield characteristics of maize, including number of spikes/plant, ear grain number and 1000-grain weight; but grain yield/ha was depressed (Wei et al, 2022). Intercropping ensures that the available growth resources are used more efficiently, thereby guaranteeing higher productivity compared with each sole crop of the mixture (Ibeawuchi et al, 2007;Kumar et al, 2020). However, crop cultivars, production practices, competitiveness of the crops and the component crop densities can affect the performance of crops in intercropping systems (Maitraet al, 2021).…”

Effective weed management is essential for enhanced productivity of maize. A two-year field experiment was carried out at the Department of Crop Science Demonstration Farm, University of Calabar, Calabar, Nigeria (4.5-5.20 N, 8.0-8.30 E), in the 2019 and 2020 early planting seasons, to evaluate the influence of three population densities of Bambara groundnut [166,666 plants per hectare(B1), 100,000 plants per hectare (B2), 71,428 plants per hectare (B3)] and four hand weeding frequencies [weedy check (WC), one hand weeding (1HW), two hand weedings (2HW) and a weed free check (WFC)] on the performance of maize. The experiment consisted of three replications fitted into a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Data gathered on maize vegetative and yield characteristics were analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedures for RCBD (GenStat® statistical package, version 8.1). Significantly different means were compared at 5 % probability level using the Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT). From the results, maize growth and yield performance were significantly (P<0.05) affected by Bambara groundnut populations and the frequency of weeding. Leaving weeds unchecked all through the cultivation season hampered the vegetative and yield performance of maize, resulting in 47.54 % reduction in maize grain yield, compared with the weeded plots. Conclusively, intercropping maize with Bambara groundnut at 71,428 plants per hectare integrated with two hand weedings at 4 and 8 weeks after sowing (WAS), which optimized maize grain yield (3.87 t/ha on the two-year average) is recommended for farmers in the Calabar humid area and its environs.
