“…Many studies have shown the positive effects of organic fertilizers, especially cattle manure compost (Adeyeye et al, 2017;Cevheri̇ and Yilmaz, 2018;Eifediyi et al, 2022) and also the positive effect of organic mulch on the growth and yield of shallot (Lasmini et al, 2019), but there is still lack of information about the combination of organic mulch and organic liquid fertilizers on the growth and yield of shallot. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the agronomic performance of the Lembah Palu variety of shallot (A. cepa L. var.…”

Background. Shallot plant is an important commodity in Central Sulawesi because it functions as a raw material in the fried onion home-industry. Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of mulch and organic fertilizers on the agronomic performance of the “Lembah Palu” variety of shallot (Allium cepa L. var. Aggregatum) on dryland. Methodology. The experiment consisted of three types of mulch (no mulching, rice straw, and Gliricidia sepium leaf) and four types of organic fertilizers (no fertilizer, bioculture, biourin and cattle manure compost). The experiment was laid out as a randomized complete block design in a factorial arrangement with three replications. A total of 36 plots were used for the experiment. The agronomic performance measured were: plant height, number of leaves per plant, number of tillers, fresh weight, dry weight, bulb diameter and bulb yield of shallot. Environmental parameters include temperature and humidity. Result. Results showed that the application of rice straw mulch plus bioculture organic fertilizer had positive significant effect (P≤ 0.05, respectively) on next agronomic parameters: plant height, number of leaves per plant, number of tillers, fresh weight, dry weight, bulb diameter and yield bulb of shallot. Implications. Significantly positive results on the agronomic parameters of shallots indicate that the application of mulch and bioculture organic fertilizers can be used on other crops to increasing the efficiency of dryland. Conclusion. The highest production of shallots was 9.46 t.ha-1. Thus, it can be recommended that straw mulch at a dose of 5 t.ha-1 and bioculture at a dose of 750 L.ha-1 is better for the growth and yield of shallot in dryland. The use of rice straw mulch and bioculture as organic liquid fertilizer provides benefits to increase productivity, add value to the crop and livestock waste, reduce environmental pollution, and application to plants will produce healthy products.

“…Aunque Makinde y Inuwa (2015) indicaron que los guajolotes alimentados con maíz y trigo tienen un crecimiento reducido, sobre todo cuando estos productos suponen más del 15% de la dieta y de acuerdo con Montoya et al (2015), la alimentación a base de concentrados supone entre 60% y 70% del costo final de la carne. Por otra parte, Jerez et al (1994) resaltaron que la producción de guajolote se encuentra estrechamente relacionada con la producción agrícola, como proveedora de granos de cereales como trigo, avena, sorgo y maíz principalmente y Eifediyi et al (2022), destacaron que la cría de aves favorece la producción de estiércol que puede aprovecharse en los cultivos por su alto contenido de carbono orgánico, nitrógeno, fósforo, potasio, calcio y magnesio, para favorecer el rendimiento de granos utilizados en la alimentación de estas especies y otros animales de interés zootécnico. En las condiciones de operación de las UP analizadas, la dieta se complementa con desperdicios de cocina, insectos, gusanos y residuos de la alimentación de otras especies de animales, como lo ha citado INEGI (2020).…”

Background. Despite the fact that it is an indigenous species and of great cultural significance for rural areas of Mexico, breeding and production of turkey is an economic activity that has currently lost importance and is at risk of disappearing, due to structure and management, flock health and social factors Objective. Typifying production units (PU) of native backyard turkey in the Municipality of Temascaltepec, State of Mexico. Methodology. The information was obtained through a structured survey to holders of 20 PU of backyard turkey. PU were typified using multivariate statistics; a principal component analysis (PCA), to standardize information and with the regressions of the original variables on the new factors obtained, a cluster analysis (CA) to classify PU based on intrinsic characteristics that defined them and extrinsic characteristics that differentiated them. Results. The PU are characterized by the presence of small families, small flocks managed by women over 59 years old, who speak nahuatl native language and have primary education. The PU began by buying birds, they have a traditional backyard management, whose food base is corn and kitchen waste. Production is low and is used for self-consumption through the preparation of traditional dishes such as mole. To a lesser extent, both turkey and meat are sold in local markets to improve family income. The continuity of the activity is compromised, in small PU mainly, due to low interest and generational change. Implications. The work made it possible to identify the PU trends and the factors that favor production, as well as those factors that compromise the continuity of the family activity. Conclusion. There is a diversity of backyard turkey PU, the flocks are small managed by women, the diet is based on grains and kitchen waste, the products obtained are for self-consumption from traditional dishes and their continuity depends on the experience in the activity and the family size.

“…In other words, sawdust is a waste of small particles produced by sawmilling industries, pulp and paper mills, and wood processing. Sawdust biochar can increase soil organic carbon and pH [10], as well as influence plant height, number of leaves, leaf area index, crop growth rate, and yield [11]. However, the research on biochar's potential as a nutrient source for plants is still limited.…”

In Indonesia, soil degradation is occurring. A strategy to improve soil conditions is by applying biochar as a soil amendment. On the other hand, Indonesia is an agricultural country with many types of biomass that can be converted into biochar. Sawdust of mahogany, teak, and sappan wood from the furniture industry is easy to find and has great potential as raw materials for biochar. This study used X-ray fluorescence spectrometry to determine the mineral content of sawdust biochar from mahogany, teak, and sappan wood sawdust, especially the ash fraction. Biochar was created by burning sawdust woods in a furnace at temperatures ranging from 250°C to 350°C. In general, the main mineral (ash fraction) content of wood sawdust biochar was calcium (CaO) at concentrations ranging from 51 to 72%, with sappan sawdust biochar having the highest concentration at 70–72%. The potassium (K2O) concentration ranged from 9–23%, with mahogany sawdust biochar having the highest concentration (23%). The phosphorus (P2O5) content ranged from 2 to 10%, with teak sawdust biochar having the highest concentration at 7–10%. Moreover, teak sawdust contained 15-20% silica, and sappan sawdust biochar contained 6-8% Fe. The mineral content in biochar ash included alkaline cations; if the biochar is applied to the soil, then a mineralization process may occur and the cations could improve pH conditions through a liming mechanism. This result is only general information; further research is required to produce more comprehensive data.
