Wheat is one of the most important cereals in the world, serving as a staple for millions globally. In the wake of the geopolitical crisis between Russia and Ukraine, it has become incumbent for many countries to invest in wheat production. Improving cropping systems for wheat production is paramount. Intercropping cereals with legumes has tremendous advantages. Therefore, this study was designed to optimize wheat production by intercropping it with soybean at different densities. Between March and August 2023, a randomized complete block design trial was conducted in Bambili, North West of Cameroon with treatments T1 (wheat monocrop at 200,000 plants ha −1 ), T2 (soybean monocrop at 250,000 plants ha −1 ), T3 (200,000 wheat and 125,000 soybean ha −1 ), T4 (100,000 wheat and 250,000 soybean ha −1 ), T5 (200,000 wheat and 250,000 soybean ha −1 ) and T6 (100,000 wheat and 125,000 soybean ha −1 ). Results revealed that growth parameters of wheat were not significantly influenced by monocrop or intercrop. The yield of wheat was significantly higher in the monocrop than the intercrop treatments, with slight variation amongst the intercrop treatments. Soybean yield was higher in the monocrop than in the intercrop, with no variations amongst the intercrop treatments. Only the land equivalence ratio (LER) for T5 was greater than 1.0. The competitive ratio for T5 was 0.54 for wheat and 1.

“…The agro-ecological situation of Kabul province is must suitable for vegetables production particularly for cucumber. Whereas, the low cultivated areas of this crop in Kabul agro-climatic region is due to the various environmental and agronomical factors (Opara et al, 2012;USAID, 2010), and non-availability of proper varieties with high growth and yield performance, climatic situations, edaphic properties, lack of technological knowledge about plant spacing and improper application of fertilizer doses, water shortage for irrigation, plant management and cultural practices in this region (Behzad, Omerkhil and Faqiryar, 2021;Sadiq et al, 2019).…”

Russia invasion on Ukraine has extensive and unprecedented negative impacts on natural environment and human life. Since saving human lives and protecting nuclear establishments are a priority, the environmental destruction has even not been assessed fully. Russian war imposed on Ukraine has, no doubt, caused serious negative consequences on Ukrainian people and rest of the planet Earth. A massive damage to industrial and civil infrastructure has contaminated soil, water and food sources, which are hazardous not only for human but also for the ecosystem health. In addition to the devastating environmental effects, Ukrainian citizens are facing triple psychological problems: as human, as environmental repercussions, and as their national identity. Based on limited literature, this paper has compiled and reviewed the environmental consequences and psychological effects of Russian war in Ukraine in two interdependent parts: (a) Environmental Damages from Russian War in Ukraine, and (b) Psychological Injuries from Environmental Damage. The environmental damages covered include industries and chemical pollution, shelling-generated fires, pollution and waste from military vehicles, pollution by weapons and missiles, refugees-caused emissions, nuclear pollution, loss of water bodies, and damages to wildlife, biodiversity, ecosystems, to fuel and associated infrastructure, to mining operations, to ambient air quality, and to urban infrastructure. Based on narrative review of literature, this paper addresses the psychological effects of environmental pollution or damages caused by Russian war. Foremost psychological symptom of the war appears in the form of fear and uncertainty followed by direct threats to peoples’ lives. Various stressors contribute to anxiety, panic, mild or severe depression, insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other stress-related disorders that severely affect public health.
