To increase land productivity, soil health must be improved using soil enhancers such as biochar. The source of biochar can come from plant residues such as rice husk. biochar can improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil. Besides that, water management in the rice cultivation system is very important especially in certain phases of rice growth. This study aims to examine the use of Biochar doses and flooding systems on the efficiency of fertilizing and productivity of lowland rice plants. This study used a randomized block design, with a factorial pattern. The first factor consisted of 6 levels of treatment of biochar doses, ...

Information on the use of plant residues from crop residues and biochar as amendments and sources of organic matter in different cropping patterns against nitrogen dynamics in the field is still lacking. The experiment was arranged in a divided plot design with five residual treatments as subplots and five cropping patterns as the main plots. Measurement of the dynamics of N, pH and C-soil organic was carried out to study the interaction effect of the two treatments. The results showed that residues of corn, soybeans or those containing soybeans residues and their biochar in different intercropping patterns significantly affected levels of Nitrogen, C-organic, and soil pH, where the increase in total N levels was highest in corn and soybean residues and biochar in corn intercropping and soybean (1:2), and (2:4), and f...

However, the number of days of fermentation and levels of concentration vary and its use in leaf mustard production is not yet explored. This study was conducted to measure productivity in terms of weight, yield, and yield-related responses across three FPJ concentrations (1.5 tbsp/L, 2.0 tbsp/L, 2.5 tbsp/L) and three durations of fermentation (5 days, 10 days, 15 days). Results show no significant effect of duration or concentration on the weight of marketable plants or plant biomass, but for plant biomass, a significant interaction was found between duration and concentration. With respect to return on investment (ROI) and benefit-cost ratio (BCR), there was a significant effect of concentration. A higher concentration results to a higher production cost so that lower concentrations produce higher ROI and BCR. These results demonstrate the advantage of lower concentration (in terms of increasing ROI and BCR) and a non-significant effect of duration. The recommendation is to use FPJ at 1.5 tbsp/L, fermented over a 5-day duration because higher durations do not necessarily result to better productivity.

This study was conducted to evaluate varietal differences of five species of Clitoria, and was carried out in Randomized Complete Block Design. This was conducted at USM, Kabacan, Cotabato from July 2019 to June 2020. Results of the study revealed significant differences in terms of the nutritive values of the Clitoria flowers and the morphological traits of the crop. In terms of the flower yield, highest yielding variety was the Clitoria with double-layered petals. More pod and seed production was generally attained by white-colored Clitoria variety which was single-layered. In terms of the diversity analysis of the five varieties, using all available plant traits, the five Clitoria varieties were grouped into three clusters with cophenetic value of 0.76. Results of the study implied varietal differences on the five species of Clitoria evaluated. Significant differences on the flower, seed and pod yield were highly noted between Clitoria with double-and single-layered petals. A double-layered variety is recommended for the purpose of flower production, while a single-layered variety, most especially the whitecolored Clitoria is more preferred for pod and seed production.

Globalization and trans-national practices have led to the emergence of multinational organizations. As a result, people with different cultural backgrounds come together to perform tasks for their organization. This paper bases its argument on the need to understand the employees through their direct involvement in the process of introducing physical changes in their environment. Centered on the principles of theory Z of collaborative management, an employee-centered framework is introduced and developed. It is envisaged as an interaction mechanism for involving employees in the decision making process of designing or redesigning their work environments. Addressing employees in the early stages of the process would ensure incorporating their functional and psychological needs, preferences, and the work style mandated by the culture of an organization. Implementing the proposed framework would help create a healthy and productive workplace and invigorates an environment conducive to achieving the mission and goals of an organization.

In the latter the population will age and in some cases even decline by number. Related to the ongoing demographic change more and more rural and especially remote areas will furthermore lose population by out migration to urban areas, often leading to an uneven sex and age distribution of the people leaving behind. The demographic change will influence the economic activities in rural areas, such as, e.g. traditional agricultural production patterns and will therefore modify the usage of formerly agricultural landscapes. The same applies to urbanized areas where more and more agricultural landscapes will be modified by incorporating them into the growing urban agglomerations, e.g. for purposes of housing, industry or transport. For this reason the knowledge of the future population developments and their related impacts on the change of landscapes is crucial in understanding and predicting processes of landscape change at a whole. Thus the paper presents a conceptual view on the relationship of demographic and landscape changes based on key figures on the major aspects of the projected future population development, contrasting the population processes of developed countries and countries in transition with those of developing regions.

We summarize the state of the art of this field and present new conceptual and methodological directions for the study of driving forces of landscape changes. These new directions address four major challenges faced by landscape-change studies, i.e., studying processes and not merely spatial patterns, extrapolating results in space and time, linking data of different qualities, and considering culture as a driver of landscape change. The proposed research directions include: studying landscape change across borders and transects, focusing on persistence as well as change, investigating rates of change, considering attractors of landscape change, targeting correlation and causality, and searching for precursors of landscape change. Based on established knowledge and the new approaches we outline a standard procedure to study driving forces of landscape change. We anticipate that our analytical and systematic approach increases the relevance of studies of landscape change for science as well as for the solution of real world problems.

The pre. dominant urban orientation of U.S. society directly influences our future activity and directions. Relevancy and accountability in agricultural education and research involves an effective response to a changing clientele. In the resident instruction area, for example, increasing numbers of agricultural students may benefit from appropriate experimental or developmental programs. Appropriate levels of technological and management assistance are needed by the small.scale or part. time farmer, as well as the large-scale commercial operator. Extension education programs in traditional production-agriculture fields must also be complemented by extended activity in other educational areas, especially those geared to the problems and needs of a growing urban clientele. Relevancy on the part of our agricultural institu. tions also involves a responsiveness to issues of broad societal concern, such as energy use and conservation, environmental quality, natural resource management, and global food needs. Changes in federal funding practices and in. creased governmental regulation influence our future directions. It is important that the agricultural education and research community responds to these priority issues in a comprehensive and unified manner, recognizing a global dimension of public service.
