Underutilized crops are an important part of agro-biodiversity, and they have the potential to help poor rural communities adapt to climate change, enhance food security, and gain food sovereignty. Despite increased interest in research, they remain on the peripheries of the agricultural mainstream. Its main goal is to give policy suggestions for s...

A substantial proportion of linseed yield is lost due to weeds in the Holeta area of Central Ethiopia. The weeds infest the crop fi elds during the early growth stage and consume growth resources. To protect the crops from weeds, farmers manage their fi elds using cultural practices. However, there is a knowledge gap between farmers on critical wee...

Evidence for intraspecific chemical communication in insects is reviewed, with an emphasis on studies involving known organic compounds. These signaling chemicals are known as pheromones. Therefore, this review was aimed at identifying the pheromone types and their significant roles in regulation of insect pest populations. There are two different...

A field trial was conducted at Holeta Agricultural Research Station and Medegudina, Central Ethiopia, during the summer season of 2021 to study the effects of different weed control methods against annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in summer planted Maize. The experiment included five treatments: AGENT 0.6 L ha-1 , Primagramgold 660 SC 3L ha-1 , S...

Water hyacinth is one of invasive weed species which belongs to family Pontederiaceae which was characterized by a free-floating perennial aquatic weed and one of the major challenging problems in water bodies of the tropics and sub-tropics. Therefore, the aim of this article is to identify the distribution, impacts and beneficial effects as well a...

Wheat is one of the most important food security crops which is cultivated from small to large scale farms in Ethiopia. However, its productivity has been limited due to various abiotic and biotic factors including weeds. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of seed rates and post emergence herbicides application on weed management a...

Fungi are diverse organisms in ecosystem establishment in different ways of association with other organisms like Mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizas are associations between fungi and the roots or other underground organs of plants. Therefore, the review was made to point out important fungal species involved in symbiotic fungal-plant interaction and t...

This research activity was conducted in Welmera districts of west Shewa zone Oromia with the objective of to examine perception of smallholder farmers toward adoption of improved food barley varieties in the study area. The study used a three stage sampling procedures were followed in which purposive selection of barley growing district and Kebeles...

Striga is a major limiting factor in the production of cereal crops such as sorghum and maize, sugarcane and legumes in sub-Saharan Africa. Striga can cause the complete loss of crops under the worst conditions. The aim of this article was to identify different methods of Striga management in sorghum to achieve the potential yields of the crop. Hig...

Wheat is the major food crops of the global importance. However, its production and yield was inadequate due to several living and nonliving aspects. The objective of this trial was to explore the influence of herbicides utilization on weed control and productiveness of wheat. Treatments consisted of three post emergence broadleaf herbicides; Broad...
