Effect of integrated inorganic and organic fertilizer on yield and yield components of maize at Bako Agricultural Research Center in Western Ethiopia

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the combined application of vermicompost and NPS fertilizer on maize (Zea mays L.) yield and yield components under low soil fertility conditions in western Ethiopia. A field experiment was conducted at Bako Agricultural Research Center using a randomized complete block design with three replications.

Genome‐wide association study of variation in cooking time among common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) accessions using Diversity Arrays Technology markers

Legume Science, 2023
Stored grains of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) develop the hard‐to‐cook trait (HTC), which is manifested in a prolonged cooking time, thereby imposing time and energy constraints.

How Do Management Choices Impact the Performance of Cassava‐Legume Intercropping in Africa? A Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Intercropping can enable sustainable intensification. In Africa, smallholder farmers rely on Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a staple food. Nevertheless, the performance of cassava intercropping emerges from management choices such as legume species selection, planting density, sowing time, and nitrogen (N) fertilisation as well as soil ...

Grain Yield and Nitrogen Uptake of Maize (Zea mays L.) as Affected by Soil Management Practices and Their Interaction on Cambisols and Chernozem

International Journal of Agronomy, 2021
Although numerous factors contribute to wide yield gaps, low external inputs, particularly N, and poor cropping practices such as soil tillage and monocropping are among the major factors affecting low maize production. In view of this, field experiments

Legume Use in Australia: Insights Into Behaviours, Attitudes, and Consumption Patterns

Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction The benefits of regular legume consumption on health are well recognised. However, previous data has shown that intake amongst Australian adults is suboptimal and it is unknown whether intake has increased with the introduction of new legume products.

Cortical Bone Loss in Barcelona Across Time (1st Century CE–18th Century CE) and Its Potential Relationship With Linear Enamel Hypoplasia

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The purpose of this study is to conduct a diachronic analysis of cortical bone loss in Barcelona, spanning from the 1st to 18th century CE, assessing the relationship between cortical bone loss and early‐life stressors, as indicated by linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) across Roman, Late Antiquity, Medieval, and Modern periods and ...

Integrated nutrient management to enhance productivity of haricot bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in southern Ethiopia

Environmental Research Communications
Haricot bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) productivity in Ethiopia is low, mainly because of low soil fertility and inadequate nutrient supply related to the limited availability and high cost of chemical fertilizers for smallholding farmers.

The Resistance of Haricot (Phaseolus Vulgaris) for Bean Weevil - Acanthoscelides Obtectus Sav (Coleoptera, Bruchidae) on the North Border of Crops Distribution [PDF]

Журнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2009
Long-term experiments carried out have shown the ability of haricot being cultivated in the south of the forest zone of Western Siberia. The main factors decreasing ripening and quality of beans and haricot seeds are pests.

Impact of Tillage Practices and Maize‐Bean Cropping System on Selected Soil Physicochemical Properties in Kena District, Konso Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Conventional tillage and multiple cropping are the most common agricultural practices of Konso farmers. However, these practices have contributed to soil fertility decline, moisture loss, and land degradations, particularly under dryland farming conditions. The effects of these practices on soil properties have not been studied yet.

Impacts of Indigenous Stone Terraces and Land Units on Selected Soil Properties in Konso Area, Southern Ethiopia

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Agricultural productivity in Ethiopia is severely limited by soil degradation, especially soil erosion. In the Konso area of Southern Ethiopia, farmers have long practiced indigenous soil and water conservation practices, particularly stone terraces, to mitigate erosion.
