Family Green Financial Education Based on Local Wisdom: Exploring the Values of Coastal Communities’ Local Wisdom in Promoting Green Financial Literacy
Authors: Kurniadi Romi , Dwijayanti Novia Sri , Sari Nurmala
Published: January 2025

Environmental awareness is increasingly becoming a critical global issue, as ecosystem degradation and resource depletion continue to intensify. Green finance, with its environmental, social, and economic impacts, has emerged as an innovative approach to mitigating the environmental crisis through sustainable funding. However, green family financial education, particularly one rooted in local wisdom, remains underexplored. This study aims to explore the potential of coastal communities’ local wisdom in shaping green family financial education. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, this research involves Malay Jambi families living along the Batang Hari River as participants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings reveal that the coastal communities of the Batang Hari River integrate local wisdom into their financial and resource management, prioritizing long-term security and sustainability. They view saving and asset ownership as essential for future stability and employ eco-friendly practices such as using durable goods, organic fertilizers, and sustainable fishing methods. This commitment extends to natural resource management, where they follow ecological principles, passing down sustainable practices like responsible agricultural methods and careful use of materials in the rattan handicraft industry. These actions ensure their economic activities align with sustainability and environmental preservation, fostering both economic well-being and environmental stewardship.

Published: January 2025

This research examines various digital communication platforms, including social media and official websites related to the Tour de Siak activities as efforts in digital marketing and sustainable tourism. The event aligns with the Siak Green program, which emphasizes the importance of environmentally conscious tourism practices. This strategic synergy aims to position Siak as a premier sports tourism destination and to encourage community involvement in the Tour de Siak series. By using qualitative methodologies such as interviews and literature reviews primary data sourced from event organizers and participants, complemented by secondary sources from authoritative reports. Thematic analysis was employed to identify key trends. The results underscore the need for a comprehensive and sustainable marketing framework in promoting sports tourism globally. Ultimately, this research positions Tour de Siak as a quintessential of Siak’s tourism identity integrating digital marketing to support sustainable tourism goals. However, its promotion has not effectively educated tourists on environmental conservation althrough strong digital promotional efforts supported by government bodies and the Indonesian Cycling Federation (PB ISSI). The organizers still have the opportunity to enhance the message that is explicitly connected to the Siak Green initiative in line with potential digital trends and future environmental sustainability outreach strategies.

Published: January 2025

Background: Managing complex medical interventions in conflict-affected Kyiv, Ukraine, poses significant challenges, particularly for critically ill pediatric patients. This case report examines the extended use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in a 12-year-old girl with severe congenital heart disease, including critical aortic stenosis and myocarditis. With no transplant system and limited resources, alternative solutions were necessary to maintain ECMO support and mitigate complications over a prolonged period.
Methods: The patient was on ECMO support for 259 days, utilizing both VV-ECMO and VA-ECMO configurations. Wartime supply issues necessitated the use of polypropylene fiber oxygenators (Quadrox-i and Terumo Fx15), despite their unsuitability for long-term use. Eleven oxygenators were used, with ten replacements due to thrombosis and malfunctions. The oxygenators included EUROSETS Alone, Maquet PLS, Paragon, Terumo Fx15, and Quadrox-i. Care involved frequent ECMO parameter adjustments, infection control, and daily rehabilitation. Cardiac function recovery was consistently negative.
Results: Performance of the oxygenators declined over time, necessitating frequent replacements due to clotting, reduced oxygen exchange, and lower CO2 removal efficiency. Usage durations varied: EUROSETS (10, 32, 88, and 26 days), Paragon (78 days), Maquet PLS (14 days), Terumo Fx15 (1-5 days), and Quadrox-i (1 day). EUROSETS nr 3 lasted 88 days, and the Paragon provided 78 days of stable support. The Maquet PLS lasted 14 days, while the Terumo Fx15 and Quadrox-i required replacements within 1 to 5 days. ECMO was discontinued due to irreversible heart failure, with the patient passing away from severe multi-organ dysfunction and complications.
Conclusions: This case highlights the extraordinary challenges of prolonged ECMO use in a pediatric patient within a war zone, emphasizing the resilience and adaptability required from healthcare teams in resource-limited settings. The logistical constraints and the necessity to use suboptimal oxygenators underscore the need for international support and  mobilization to sustain advanced  care in conflict-affected regions.

Interfacial passivation of CdTe solar cells using Mg-doped SnO2 as electron transport layer for enhanced photovoltaic efficiency
Authors: Cai Yanbo , Liu Chengyan , Jiang Hongxu , Yi Kai , Liu Fei , Wang Deliang
Published: January 2025

Tin oxide (SnO2), known for its excellent optical and electronic properties, is increasingly favored as an electron transport layer(ETL) in high-efficiency thin film solar cells. However, its direct use in SnO2/CdTe heterojunction solar cells results in relatively low open-circuit voltage (VOC) and inferior power conversion efficiency (PCE). Herein, we achieve significantly high efficiency in CdTe-based photovoltaic devices by using Mg-doped SnO2 as ETLs, fabricated through magnetron co-sputtering technique. Capacitance–voltage (C–V) and space-charge-limited current measurements reveal that Mg doping significantly enhances the built-in potential at the SnO2/CdTe interface and reduces trap density over twofold. First-principles calculations indicate that the trap states originating from the Sn atom dangling bonds at the interface can be effectively passivated by the formation of MgSn defects, which are facilitated by Mg-doped SnO2. The resulting improvements in VOC and PCE are further validated through device simulations. This study demonstrates the potential of SnO2 as an ETL in high-efficiency CdTe solar cells and highlights the effectiveness of doping engineering in the contact layer for improving the interfacial properties of semiconductor devices.
Asymptotic scaling laws for the stagnation conditions of Z-pinch implosions
Authors: Ruiz D. E. , Williams C. A. , Vesey R. A.
Published: January 2025

Implosions of magnetically driven annular shells (Z pinches) are studied in the laboratory to produce high-energy-density plasmas. Such plasmas have a wide-range of applications including x-ray generation, controlled thermonuclear fusion, and astrophysics studies. In this work, we theoretically investigate the in-flight dynamics of a magnetically driven, imploding cylindrical shell that stagnates onto itself upon collision on axis. The converging flow of the Z-pinch is analyzed by considering the implosion trajectory in the (A, M) parametric plane, where A is the in-flight aspect ratio and M is the implosion Mach number. For an ideal implosion in the absence of instabilities and in the limit of A≫1, we derive asymptotic scaling laws for hydrodynamic quantities evaluated at stagnation (e.g., density, temperature, and pressure) and for performance metrics (e.g., soft x-ray emission, K-shell x-ray emission, and neutron yield) as functions of target-design parameters.
Optical force modulated by the charge transfer plasmons
Authors: Ma Rui , Liu Gui-dong , Wang Ling-ling , Lin Qi , Cao Jue-xian
Published: January 2025

We have investigated the modulation of the trapping potential and trapping force provided by the graphene charge transfer plasmon (CTP) structure that supports two resonance modes. Both the screened bonding dipolar plasmon mode and the charge transfer plasmon mode greatly provide a strong trapping potential and trapping force. The position of the trapping potential well can be dynamically regulated by modulating the Fermi energy or the geometry of the charge transfer bridge, allowing for the dynamic trapping of the nanoparticles. The restricted Brownian motion trajectory of the nanoparticles near the structure indicates that both modes can achieve stable nanoparticles trapping. These two peculiar resonance modes could potentially open up additional possibilities for optical manipulation and particle sorting.
A numerical calculation method and experimental study on dynamic stress of steam turbine long blades with respect to vortex-induced effects

Published: January 2025

Aiming at the outstanding problems of flexibly operating the steam turbines' overall working conditions, a new dynamic stress numerical calculation method for the steam turbine long blades was proposed with respect to vortex-induced effects. The low-pressure last-stage blades of a 1000 MW air-cooled steam turbine were taken as the research object. The validity of the calculation method was demonstrated by the long blade dynamic test. The theoretical analysis shows that the vortex-induced effect on the blade surface caused by the flow separation is the key factor in increasing the dynamic stress of the blade at low-load operating conditions with constant back pressure. For the engineering application, it is feasible and effective to calculate and analyze the dynamic stress of the blade under different working conditions by taking the pressure fluctuation value on the blade surface of the aerodynamic flow field as the excitation factor for the structural field excitation force. By comparing several schemes, the simulation results are in good agreement with the test results. Both the simulation and dynamic test results show that, under constant back pressure, the maximum dynamic stress of the last-stage blade appears at about 20% load. It is found that the peak value of the dynamic stress of the tested blade is about 5% of the allowable value at the design back pressure, which has sufficient vibration resistance strength and safety margin, well meeting the requirements of flexible, safe, and reliable operation for the steam turbines' overall working conditions.
The effects of wingtip modifications on the wake of horizontal axis wind turbines
Authors: RahnamayBahambary K. , Komrakova A. E. , Fleck B. A.
Published: January 2025

We study the impact of a novel wingtip modification on the wake dynamics of a 10-MW horizontal axis wind turbine using delayed detached eddy simulation. We considered a baseline turbine without wingtip modifications and a turbine equipped with winglets. The results reveal that the winglet significantly alters the near and mid wake regions, increasing the velocity deficit and reducing turbulence intensity in the near wake while minimally affecting the far wake beyond the distance of nine rotor diameters. The vortex rings from the blade tips decay faster in the wake of the modified turbine, reducing the wake energy and vorticity. The budget of mean kinetic energy transport shows that the winglet reduces the turbulence production in the near wake while increasing the turbulence convection and production in the far wake region. To study the meandering in the far wake of two turbine configurations, the dominant Strouhal number and the standard deviation of the wake center were studied. The results indicated that the winglet does not notably affect the amplitude of the wake meandering. Furthermore, the winglet increased turbine power production by 4.5% and thrust by 1.5% while reducing power and torque fluctuations by 10%. Although the winglet affected near wake dynamics, its influence on the far wake is minimal, suggesting potential benefits for wind farm design where turbines are not closely spaced.
On the threshold of bogie simplification for train crosswind testing

Published: January 2025

The bogie is a unique component exclusive to railway locomotives and rolling stock, and the simplified level of the bogie model directly influences the distortion and accuracy of the experimental results obtained. In this study, the effects of bogie simplified thresholds (T) are numerically investigated employing the improved delayed detached eddy simulation method. Three bogie configurations, comprising complex, moderate, and simple setups, were proposed for a 1/8th scale train model, each featuring different thresholds. The numerical algorithm was validated through a wind tunnel test, with a focus on aerodynamic loads and pressure distribution. The results indicate that as the bogie simplified threshold T increases, the drag and lift forces of each car increase. The head car exhibits a reduction in both lateral force and rolling moment coefficients, whereas the middle car sees a marginal increase, and the tail car maintains unchanged coefficients. As the bogie simplified threshold T increases, the blockage effects of the bogie cavity diminish under crosswinds, leading to decreased airflow impact on the bogie. However, the airflow impact on the vehicle bottom and the bogie cavity's end faces intensifies. The simple setup (T = 200 mm), due to neglecting significant geometric features, exhibits poorer agreement in surface and surrounding flow fields around the train, compared to the other two configurations. Therefore, to guarantee precise predictions accounting for both drag coefficients and detailed bottom flows, it is recommended to maintain the bogie simplified threshold at T = 100 mm at minimum. This study offers prospective insights into modeling detailed components for rail vehicles during wind tunnel experiments.

SOX9 is a crucial transcriptional regulator of cartilage development and homeostasis. Dysregulation of
SOX9
is associated with a wide spectrum of skeletal disorders, including campomelic dysplasia, acampomelic campomelic dysplasia, and scoliosis. Yet how
SOX9
variants contribute to the spectrum of axial skeletal disorders is not well understood. Here, we report four pathogenic variants of
SOX9
identified in a cohort of patients with congenital vertebral malformations. We report a pathogenic missense variant in the transactivation middle (TAM) domain of
SOX9
associated with mild skeletal dysplasia and scoliosis. We isolated a
Sox9
mutant mouse with an in-frame microdeletion in the TAM domain (

Sox9
Asp272del

), which exhibits skeletal dysplasia including kinked tails, rib cage anomalies, and scoliosis in homozygous mutants. We find that both the human missense and the mouse microdeletion mutations resulted in reduced SOX9 protein stability in cell culture, while

Sox9
Asp272del

mutant mice show decreased SOX9 expression in the growth plate and annulus fibrosus tissues of the spine. This reduction in SOX9 expression was correlated with the reduction of extracellular matrix components, such as tenascin-X and the Adhesion G-protein coupled receptor ADGRG6. In summary, our work identified and modeled a pathologic variant of
SOX9
within the TAM domain and demonstrated its importance for SOX9 protein stability. Our work demonstrates that SOX9 stability is important for the regulation of ADGRG6 expression, which is a known regulator of postnatal spine homeostasis, underscoring the essential role of SOX9 dosage in a spectrum of axial skeleton dysplasia in humans.
Effects of observing pitch gestures on the perception of English
intonation by Japanese learners of English
Authors: Hori Tomoko , Akatsuka Mari , Toyama Michiko
Published: January 2025

The effects of observing pitch gestures on non-native English
intonation perception among 80 Japanese learners of English were examined to
uncover whether pitch gestures boost the perception of intonation patterns in
the contexts of congruent, incongruent, and no gestures (CGs, IGs, and NGs,
respectively); gestural effects differ from various intonation patterns; and
gestural effects are based on the complexity of stimuli. The results showed that
identification was most accurate for CGs, followed by NGs and IGs for both word
and sentence stimuli. Although gestural effects differed depending on intonation
patterns and the target stimuli, observing CGs enhances the perception of
intonation patterns, including rising patterns, which are particularly
challenging for Japanese learners. Consequently, these findings provide
pedagogical implications for incorporating pitch gestures into both the learning
and teaching of second-language intonation.

‘The point is, what is the point?’
Authors: Berthe Florine
Published: January 2025

This paper investigates vague cataphoric reference with shell nouns in the
the-N-is construction (e.g. the point is). It highlights the ties between
the construction, which is sometimes analysed as a specfticational copular sentence, shell nouns, which function to some extent
like pronouns, and reference. Using a corpus of spoken British English, it shows that referent identification is however not
always achieved with this construction and puts forward several contextual that contribute to the vague reference for the shell
noun, such as the form and complexity of the shell content or the larger context. The article finally offers interactional
perspectives and shows that speakers can use the construction with its vague cataphoric potential as turn-taking or floor-holding
device.

The interaction between animacy, definiteness and topicality in the
historical development of Differential Object Marking in Spanish
Authors: Wessel Nienke
Published: January 2025

Usage of a as a marker of direct objects in
Spanish has been a popular topic of research, but there is no clarity on how
different factors interact. The current investigation looks at the historical
change in usage of a, focussing on animacy, definiteness, and
topicality. We analyzed the extent to which historical texts follow
state-of-the-art theories, by combining automatic and manual annotation. The
results indicate that the investigated texts to a large extent confirm existing
theories, with some aspects worth noting. First of all, inanimate definite
objects sometimes carry a, which is impossible according to
prescriptive grammars. Second, we found an increase in the usage of
a with definite human referents through time, which was
predicted by Aissen (2003), although
the limited amount of available data prevents us from drawing definitive
conclusions. Furthermore, there is tentative evidence that topicality plays a
role.
(Self-)translation and migration
Authors: Camps Assumpta
Published: January 2025

Since the 1970s, the circumstances of the twentieth-century migration of exiled intellectuals and scientists from
Franco-era Spain to Mexico have aroused major interest in both Spain and Mexico (Fagen 1973; Abellán 1976–1978; VV.AA. 1982; VV.AA.
1987). The resulting studies shed light on the lives and careers of exiled Spanish scientists, many of whom went
unnoticed by researchers within Spain for decades because of censorship under Franco’s regime. This article focuses on one highly
representative example of an exiled Spanish scholar, Pere Bosch Gimpera (1891–1974), in order to illustrate not only the
importance of scientific migration and exile in this particular context, but also the role of inter- and intralingual translation
for these exiled scientists.
Farmers' market research 1940–2000: An inventory and review
Authors: Brown Allison
Published: January 2025

The number of retail farmers' markets in the USA increased dramatically in the twentieth century, with a burst of growth experienced after the passage of Public Law 94–463 (PL 94–463), the Farmer-to-Consumer Direct Marketing Act of 1976. This article inventories the literature since the Second World War on retail farmers' markets and direct marketing in North America. The inventory includes some lesser known studies from 1970 to 1985. The reports are grouped into four categories by topical area: consumers and vendors, economic impact, social impact and farmers' markets as research sites. Overall, the literature on farmers' markets is found to be scant, leaving ample room for new and exciting explorations of this venerable institution.
USDA research into organic farming
Authors: Jawson Michael D. , Bull Carolee T.
Published: January 2025

America's appetite for all-natural, organic food has grown at the remarkable rate of over 20% annually for the past 10 years. This makes organic agriculture—farming and processing food without the use of synthetic chemicals, such as synthetic pesticides and many inorganic fertilizers—the fastest growing sector of America's agricultural economy. Contrast that to the scarcity of organic items to be found 20 years ago … and those only in specialty shops. Today, organic selections are as easy to find in conventional supermarkets and mainstream stores as in natural food stores.
Assessing students' preparedness towards sustainability in US and European undergraduate agricultural curricula
Authors: Borsari Bruno , Vidrine Malcolm F. , Doherty Steven
Published: January 2025

This work focused on the evaluation of undergraduate curricula in agriculture for a selected group of institutions from Louisiana and Texas in the US, and France and Italy. The primary research objective was pursued through the measurement of knowledge acquisition in sustainable agriculture principles of undergraduate students as they were approaching the completion of their curriculum. Quantitative data were collected through the administration of a test to eight samples (n = 20) of senior students from each university participating in the study. An analysis of frequencies for every test question indicated the strengths but also the weaknesses that still exist in the agricultural curricula when students' academic achievement was measured. Every institution acknowledged the emerging sustainable agriculture paradigm in brochures, catalogs and web sites. There is a need for ameliorating agricultural curricula as the long-term productivity of farms is threatened by market policies uncontrollable by single producers and by the manipulation of resources that frequently accelerate environmental degradation. Therefore, we show opportunities for the strengthening of study programs to incorporate sustainable agriculture principles in undergraduate curricula.
The natural and organic pork market: A sustainable niche for small-scale producers? A review and analysis of the evidence
Authors: Wheatley W. Parker
Published: January 2025

This study reviews the literature on consumer preferences and willingness to pay for pork produced through alternative methods, such as natural and organic production, It finds evidence suggesting that many consumers are willing to pay relatively high premiums for natural and organic pork. Furthermore, research is found which suggests that such premiums can be expected to persist into the foreseeable future. This study also investigates the degree to which such premiums are transmitted to pork producers and finds anecdotal evidence suggesting that natural and organic pork producers receive modest premiums as well as more stable pricing overall. This paper then discusses the marketing efforts needed and impediments to supplying the natural and organic markets for pork. The overall perspective provided by this paper is that natural and organic production may be viable alternatives to more capital-intensive production for many small-scale producers.
Superhydrophobic coatings on meta-aramid papers enabled by mechanical interlocking for anti-thermal aging applications
Authors: Gao Yuxuan , Du Xinghan , Wang Qibin , Cui Yaping , Zhang Wenqi , Fan Sidi , Yu Xiang
Published: January 2025

The durability of superhydrophobic coatings has emerged as a pivotal consideration for their practical applications. Conventional methods for preparing robust superhydrophobic coatings often incorporate chemical binders. However, these binders are susceptible to melting and embrittlement under high temperatures, greatly limiting their stable service life, particularly in complex outdoor environments. Herein, the meta-aramid papers are treated with superhydrophobic modification using the surface-embedded spray coating technique. Benefiting from the unique deprotonation and reprotonation features of meta-aramid fibers, the paper surface morphology is reconstructed into a porous micro–nano structure. Given the comparable dimensions between the hydrophobic nano-SiO2 particles and the surface pores, the SiO2 particles become surface-embedded within the pores, resulting in a firmly bonded superhydrophobic coating. Furthermore, additional hydrogen bonds are formed between the SiO2 particles and meta-aramid fibers, further strengthening their adhesion. The as-prepared paper can endure temperatures up to 260 °C, preserving a contact angle >150° and a sliding angle <5°. It also exhibits exceptional abrasion durability even after thermal aging. Additionally, the DC wet flashover voltage maintains over 95% of its original value. Our surface-embedded strategy offers an innovative alternative to chemical binders and enhances the viability of superhydrophobic coatings for applications in high-temperature environments.

Maximizing the discovery potential of increasingly precise neutrino experiments will require an improved theoretical understanding of neutrino-nucleus cross sections over a wide range of energies. Low-energy interactions are needed to reconstruct the energies of astrophysical neutrinos from supernovae bursts and search for new physics using increasingly precise measurement of coherent elastic neutrino scattering. Higher-energy interactions involve a variety of reaction mechanisms including quasi-elastic scattering, resonance production, and deep inelastic scattering that must all be included to reliably predict cross sections for energies relevant to DUNE and other accelerator neutrino experiments. Refined nuclear interaction models in these energy regimes will also be valuable for other applications, such as measurements of reactor, solar, and atmospheric neutrinos. This manuscript discusses the theoretical status, challenges, required resources, and path forward for achieving precise predictions of neutrino-nucleus scattering and emphasizes the need for a coordinated theoretical effort involved lattice QCD, nuclear effective theories, phenomenological models of the transition region, and event generators.
Electron emission efficiency of graphene/h-BN/2D-semiconductor heterostructure: theoretical analysis and experimental verification

Published: January 2025

Metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) heterostructures have important applications in vacuum microelectronic devices. Among these, graphene-insulator-semiconductor (GIS) heterostructure field electron emitters are among the most widely utilized. Improving the electron emission performance is a major challenge for GIS heterostructure field emitters. A comprehensive theoretical model is needed to predict the electron emission process from such a structure. In this work, a theoretical calculation was carried out on the electron emission current from an GIS heterostructure structure based on a tunneling model that considers the density of states of the semiconductor, scattering of the insulation layer, and hot-hole-induced Auger emission process. Using graphene/h-BN/MoS2 as an example, we obtain the band structure of the MoS2 using first principle calculation, simulate the scattering in h-BN with the Monte Carlo method, and calculate the emission current density using the modified Fowler-Nordheim equation. The results indicate that h-BN thickness and Auger coefficient are key factor affecting emission current density and emission efficiency. To validate our model, a few-layer graphene/h-BN/MoS2 heterostructure device was prepared and the field emission results validate the calculation results. The theoretical model can be expanded to other GIS heterostructures and is useful for designing a high-performance electron source using a GIS tunneling junction.

While essential to economic development, the palm oil industry faces significant environmental challenges, including deforestation, high carbon emissions, and inefficient waste management throughout the supply chain. Implementing Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is crucial to addressing these issues, but more research is needed on effective performance strategies. This study aimed to bridge that gap by providing methods to improve Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) performance in the palm oil industry, specifically at PT Perkebunan Negara V Riau. The research applied GreenSCOR to measure supply chain performance across five core processes: plan, source, make, deliver, and return. Additionally, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was utilized to prioritize key performance indicators, while Systems Thinking was employed to identify leverage points for strategic improvements. The findings indicated that the overall performance score of 59.3% was moderate, highlighting inefficiencies, particularly in the delivery process, which received the lowest score at 3%. This discrepancy in performance underscored the necessity of enhancing waste management and recycling efforts to improve green supply chain outcomes. Strategies proposed to enhance the performance of the green supply chain included increasing the use of eco-friendly materials, optimizing green transportation, and improving waste management practices to reduce emissions and pollution.

Rice farming faces challenges, including pest susceptibility, high-cost chemical pesticides, and labor-intensive pest management. Insect pests like rice black bugs, stem borers, and leafhoppers can significantly reduce yields. While chemical pesticides are commonly used, they pose environmental and health risks, including residues in food and harm to beneficial organisms. This study presents an IoT-based insect pest management system (IPMS) designed to address these challenges. The system integrates light attractors, electric zappers, insect counters, full moon detection, and remote monitoring using LoRa WAN technology. LED lights attract insect pests, which are eliminated by an electric zapper, and the insect counter records the captured insect pests, reducing their population effectively. During full moon phases, the system enhances light attraction by adjusting the LED lights. Field trials in Nabunturan, Davao de Oro, Philippines demonstrated the system’s effectiveness, reducing insect pest populations and pesticide use by 91.67%. The average insect count was 85 during the planting season and 2,941 during the harvest season. A regression analysis showed that weather conditions significantly influenced insect pest activity, with rainy or cloudy weather reducing insect pest counts by 1,603 on average. Compared to conventional insect pest control methods, the system minimized pesticide use and resulted in a 50% increase in crop yield. The solar-powered setup ensures sustainable operation in large rice fields, and LoRa communication offers reliable data transmission over 53.4 meters for distance monitoring. This study highlights the potential of the system to enhance agricultural productivity while reducing environmental impact.
Mycorrhiza biofertilizer application to improve yield performance of promising lines of black rice intercropped with mungbean in aerobic irrigation system

Published: January 2025

This study aimed to determine the effect of mycorrhiza-biofertilizer application on the growth and yield performance of several promising lines of black rice intercropped with mungbean in an aerobic irrigation system. The experiment was arranged according to a Split Plot Design, with three blocks and two treatment factors: black rice promising lines (G3, G6, and G9) as the main plots and mycorrhiza biofertilizers (M0 = without and M1 = with mycorrhiza biofertilizer application) as the subplots. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD at a 5% significance level. The results indicated that the significant interaction of the treatment factors (G*M) affected the number of tillers at 63 days after seeding (DAS) and the weight of 100 grains. Applying mycorrhiza biofertilizer increased the tiller number in the G9 line and improved the weight of 100 filled grains, but only in the G6 and G9 lines. Additionally, mycorrhiza biofertilizers significantly increased the number of panicles per clump, the weight of 100 grains, and the number of filled grains per panicle. However, it decreased the percentage of unfilled grains, thereby enhancing the dry grain yield of black rice per clump.
