This study aimed to investigate knowledge and attitude toward green agriculture for vegetables farmers in Ghor el Safi area, which is considered the prime area of interest for growing vegetables in Jordan Valley. Questioners were distributed to 316 farmers; multi-level regression analysis was used for measuring the impact of the independent variables on the related variable factors. The result showed that farmer's general attitude towards green agriculture was moderate, where more than two-thirds of the farmer's supported the transition towards using green agriculture. Results showed positive correlation between age, experience, cultivated area, family labor, production quantity, annual income, education, and the level of farmers' knowledge and attitude toward using the green agriculture at the confident level of 0.01 and 0.05. Based on the results, more attention needs to be taken into consideration from decision-makers regarding the necessity of activating the role of agricultural extension in the field to promote green agriculture among farmers, markets for green products need to be created, and more projects to support green agriculture is needed.
The distinctive qualities and wide array of possible applications of nanotechnology have garnered considerable attention. Nanotechnology offers a groundbreaking way for expanding agricultural output that is also ecologically benign, helpful to living things, and economically priced—all without losing quality. There is a growing trend towards using eco-friendly technologies as substitutes for conventional agricultural inputs, such as fertilizers and insecticides. With the aid of nanotechnology, the confines of conventional farming techniques can be overcome. As a result, it becomes essential for investigators to devote their energies to the noteworthy nanoparticles (NPs) in agriculture investigations that have been distributed. It offered a fresh perspective on the development and application of nanoparticles as nanofertilizers and nano-pesticides in agriculture and a way to heighten bio-factor execution. Furthermore, we discuss the relations of NPs with plants, the perils and putrefaction of nanomaterials in plants, and the utility of NPs in the reduction of stress triggered by heavy metal toxicity and abiotic factors. It is imperative that nano-fertilizers are practiced to reduce the environmental maltreatment caused by conventional, inorganic fertilizers. Nano-fertilizers are more sensitive and have the ability to penetrate the epidermis, empowering them to promote nutrient consumption efficiency while reducing nutrient overabundance. A study found that NPs may cause oxidative stress symptoms in higher plants if they adhere to cell surfaces or organelles. Understanding the benefits and drawbacks of using nano-fertilizers instead of conventional fertilizers is valuable, and it is the purpose of this book chapter to provide this information
Biochar and compost can greatly impact soil chemical and physical properties. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of using biochar and compost on soil properties and mitigation of climate change impact. Compost, biochar, and biochar-compost mixture were added to the soil, soil organic matter (SOM) content, concentrations of the oxidizable organic carbon (OOC) and the total organic carbon (TOC)) were measured. The experiment was conducted in the National Agricultural Research Center, Al-Khaledeyyah Agricultural Research Station, Mafraq. Biochar and compost were added to soil individually at the percentages of 10%, 25%, and 50%, each. The biochar-compost mixture was added to the soil too at the percentages of 10%, 25%, and 50%. The results revealed that at 50% biochar-compost mixture (consisting of 50% biochar and 50% compost) increases SOM content from 1.5% to 9.3%; the concentration of the OOC increased from 0.05 mg.kg-1 to 4.9 mg.kg-1 ; and the concentration of the TOC increased from 1.0 mg.kg-1 to 6.1 mg.kg-1 . The results of this study illustrate that the 50% biochar-compost mixture affected the highest increase in the concentration of the OOC, TOC and SOM content in the soil. These findings demonstrate that soil treatment with a 50% mixture of biochar and compost does sharply increase its organic matter content
In Jordan, the public is still unaware of the fate and impact of pesticide application. This study aimed to evaluate the attitudes, knowledge and practices of undergraduate students enrolled in various academic departments at the Faculty of Agriculture, Mutah University, Jordan toward pesticides’ residues in food and feed. Students were questioned about their social aspects, and food and feed safety knowledge and resources. Responses have been obtained from 209 responding students. Results indicated that the cross-section through the Faculty of Agriculture, Mutah University, Jordan appears a satisfactory. The findings show that respondents are very highly concerned about human health, food safety, and the risk of environmental pollution, and they have a real desire to reduce the use of pesticides. Respondents had a moderate level of knowledge about food safety, pesticides’ side effects, pesticides’ residues in food or feed, and usage of pesticides in homes and gardens. According to the respondents, the most common way that people are exposed to pesticide residues is by consuming pesticide residues in food. The respondents expressed a moderate level of concern about their attitudes toward organic farming adoption. Correlations between demographic variables and knowledge of food and feed safety, involving a workshop on food/feed safety, care about human health as well as environmental pollution, and looking for information on food/feed safety were reported in the study
Growers have different capabilities to alleviate salt stress in the growing substrate. One method to reduce substrate salt levels is to increase the volume of water applied during irrigation. This increases the leaching fraction (LF) which is the volume of water that drains from the growing substrate divided by the volume applied during irrigation. We can determine the leaching requirement (the minimum LF to maintain a desired substrate salt level) using the formula LF = ECw/5(ECe 2 ECw), where ECw is the electrical conductivity (EC) of the water and ECe is the desired EC of the substrate. We tested this formula to see if we could maintain an acceptable substrate EC of 4 dSm21 by modifying the LF for ‘Hope’ philodendron (Philodendron selloum) and ‘Tineke’ ficus (Ficus elastica) irrigated with tap water (EC 0.17 dSm21 ) or reclaimed wastewater (RWW) from Davie, FL, USA (EC 1.66 dSm21 ) and RWW from Hollywood, FL, USA (EC 2.93 dSm21 ). Shoot and root dry weight was greatest for both species with the tap water applied with a 5% LF. Increasing the LF to 15% for Davie RWW and a 55% for Hollywood RWW, produced acceptable growth for ‘Hope’ philodendron and ‘Tineke’ ficus. In our second experiment, we monitored the growth of ‘Looking Glass’ begonia (Begonia fibrous), ‘Freddie’ calathea (Calathea concinna), and ‘Deja vu’ philodendron (Philodendron selloum) irrigated with tap water (EC 0.15 dSm21 ), salt water (EC 3.49 dSm21 ), or RWW (EC 3.48 dSm21 ) with LFs of 28%, 50%, or 65%. ‘Looking Glass’ begonia and ‘Freddie’ calathea growth was greater with 65% LF than 28% LF, respectively, for all three water sources. Philodendron growth was not different due to LF. However, philodendron, calathea, and begonia growth was greater with tap water and RWW than with saltwater. Although final leachate EC with saltwater and RWW was around 2 dSm21 using 50% LF, leachate sodium (Na) levels from salt watered plants was higher than for RWW or tap watered plants. We suspect that high Na levels in combination with lower potassium (K) and calcium (Ca) levels in the saltwater solution resulted in poor plant growth. Although the Na levels in leachate from RWW substrates was higher than tap watered substrates, Ca and K levels also were greater. Although we were able to use the salt equation to maintain substrate EC levels ranging from 2 to 4 dSm21 , volumes of solution applied were two to three times higher when using RWW or salt water compared with tap water. We suspect that a balance between Na, Ca, and K supported better plant growth with RWW than salt water. However, additional work needs to be done on the benefits of supplemental Ca and K when using water high in salts or Na. This works suggests that in addition to monitoring EC, it also is important to monitor Na, Ca, and K concentrations.
Biofortification is the supply of micronutrients required for humans and livestock by various methods in the field, which include both farming and breeding methods and are referred to as short-term and long-term solutions, respectively. The presence of essential and non-essential elements in the atmosphere, soil, and water in large quantities can cause serious problems for living organisms. Knowledge about plant interactions with toxic metals such as cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb), is not only important for a healthy environment, but also for reducing the risks of metals entering the food chain. Biofortification of zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) is very significant in reducing the effects of toxic metals, especially on major food chain products such as wheat and rice. The findings show that Zn- biofortification by transgenic technique has reduced the accumulation of Cd in shoots and grains of rice, and also increased Se levels lead to the formation of insoluble complexes with Hg and Cd. We have highlighted the role of Se and Zn in the reaction to toxic metals and the importance of modifying their levels in improving dietary micronutrients. In addition, cultivar selection is an essential step that should be considered not only to maintain but also to improve the efficiency of Zn and Se use, which should be considered more climate, soil type, organic matter content, and inherent soil fertility. Also, in this review, the role of medicinal plants in the accumulation of heavy metals has been mentioned, and these plants can be considered in line with programs to mprove biological enrichment, on the other hand, metallothioneins genes can be used in the program biofortification as grantors of resistance to heavy metals.
Educational practices and strategies have been changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Universities nowadays are adopting online education systems to ensure delivering of their educational information and knowledge. This study aims to evaluate the experience of the agricultural sciences students during the COVID-19 pandemic in Jordan with focus on their preparedness, attitude and barriers. Online survey was distributed to 559 students among four different majors at the College of Agriculture Sciences at Jerash University in Jordan. Data were collected via google forms. The results’ showed no gender differences in any of these domains. However, there was statistical significance difference barrier score, attitude score, and preparedness scores between different age groups. The results showed no statistical difference throughout our four departments in different levels of study. The results indicated that about 76 % of the students were satisfied with the quality of services offered from Jerash University during the COVID-19 lockdown. Student expressed negative impression with the practical session being online instead of being in the field. Finally, students mentioned the availability and the quality of network as a barrier for them to perform better and get higher grades. This new experience for students during pandemic lockdown identified areas for improvement that can done. Sharing the study results could help to enhance online education with similar settings in colleges throughout the country
The kentia palm, also known as the sentry palm, is native to Lord Howe Island off the east coast of Australia. It is a slow growing palm that can reach 40 feet in height with a spread of 6–10 feet . It has single slender trunk, 5–6 inches in diameter, that is dark green when young but turns brown as it ages and is exposed to sun. The trunk is attractively ringed with the scars of shed fronds. Leaves are pinnate, or feather-shaped, about 7 ft long, with unarmed petioles 3–4 feet in length. The kentia palm is considered one of the best interior palms for its durability and elegant appearance . The dark green graceful crown of up to three dozen leaves gives it a tropical appearance. Containerized palms can be used on a deck or patio in a shady location or the palm can be planted into the landscape.
To ensure that educational knowledge is well delivered, education strategies have been changed to be online rather than in the field due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate online education systems during a pandemic in Jordan. Electronic forms were distributed via students' emails to 559 students at the Faculty of Agriculture, Jerash University to study readiness, behavior, and obstacles of distance education through the students' impressions. A total of 1073 online surveys were analyzed using program SAS (2012) to determine the effects of gender, age of students, specialization, and academic year on distance education. The results of the study showed a significant difference between total scores for readiness, behavior, and obstacles of distance education. The age of the students also had a significant effect on distance education in general and within the status of readiness, behavior, and distance education obstacles. Where it was found that the higher the student's age by one year from the average age, the higher his general acceptance, readiness, and behavior towards distance education with percentages (0.12±0.06), (0.17±0.06), and (0.40±0.14)% respectively, while obstacles decreased by (0.22±0.004)%. The study concluded that age students of above (27.18±0.25) years played a positive role during the COVID-19 crisis in distance education.
Cereal production in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) is inadequate for supporting population nutritional demands. Nutrient mining of nitrogen (N) has taken place in all areas where cereals are produced in SSA. This review reports on the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of Sub Saharan Africa cereal grain production. For SSA, NUE's exceed 100%. In light of the low N application rates, high NUE's speak to a much bigger and potentially damaging situation for cereal production in SSA. Limited supplies of N, the continual rise in prices and elevated economic risk of N fertilization, combined with existing low yield levels of cereal production reiterates the importance of NUE in SSA and the importance of aiding this region in overcoming its dysfunctional agriculture production systems. High NUE's for SSA are a direct result of applying so little fertilizer N, at the ultimate expense of mining an already depleted soil resource.
