Determination of the 1L-5-6L MGF110 Genes Influence on the Biological Properties of the African Swine Fever Virus (Asfarviridae; Asfivirus) “Volgograd/14c” in vivo

Abstract African swine fever continues to pose a global agricultural problem due to the absence of vaccine prevention and the high cost of anti-epizootic measures. This study examines the functional role of the African swine fever virus (ASFV) 1L-5-6L multigene family 110 genes in vivo. Four clinically healthy Large White pigs were used in this study. Two groups of animals were inoculated with either the parental strain or the deletion variant, respectively. For subsequent challenge infection, the homologous virulent strain “Stavropol 01/08” was used. Blood samples were collected at specific time intervals. The ASFV infectious activity was determined by titration in porcine blood-derived macrophages. Virus-specific antibodies to the ASFV p30 protein were detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) showed a significant difference in Ct values between samples from the two groups of animals. The determination of ASFV infectious activity in blood samples demonstrated the presence of the virus in animals immunized with the parental strain. The virus was not detected in samples from animals immunized with the deletion strain. The ELISA method demonstrated the presence of p30 protein antibodies in serum samples from 10 to 14 days after immunization with the parental strain, while no antibodies were detected in serum samples from animals immunized with the deletion strain. The properties of the ASFV recombinant strain “Volgograd/D(1L-5-6L) MGF110” were studied in an in vivo experiment. It was found that the deletion strain does not reproduce in animals, unlike the parental strain.

FINANCING MODEL OF SHARIA ECONOMY-BASED COFFEE AGROINDUSTRY USING DYNAMIC SYSTEM SIMULATION IN BANDUNG DISTRICT

West Java Province is one of the producers of export quality Arabica coffee, namely Java Preanger Coffee. The problem that often arises in the agricultural sector is that most farmers do not have the funds to make capital. Another problem in agriculture is capital. This can cause crop failure due to a lack of capital so the process of agriculture is delayed and hampered. The aim of the Islamic financing modelling research is to determine the relationship between variables in the Islamic economic-based financing system as well as a comparison between the application of the concept of profit-sharing margins for mudharabah and musyarakah between farmers and Muhammadiyah Branch Managers (PCM) using the system dynamics method using the Powersim Software. System dynamics are defined to address large-scale and complex systems and understand the relationships among behavior in a given system over time and the underlying structures and decision rules. The sharia economy-based coffee agroforestry financing model results in the application of profit sharing that reflects more justice. The principle of profit sharing carried out by PCM is beneficial for both parties who have achieved the principle of justice, by avoiding things that are unlawful. This can be seen from the results of the profits and losses are not on one side. The simulation results can be used as a consideration for decision making for financing coffee agroforestry in Bandung Regency.

Heavy metals immobilization and bioavailability in multi-metal contaminated soil under ryegrass cultivation as affected by ZnO and MnO2 nanoparticle-modified biochar

Pollution by heavy metals (HMs) has become a global problem for agriculture and the environment. In this study, the effects of pristine biochar and biochar modified with manganese dioxide (BC@MnO2) and zinc oxide (BC@ZnO) nanoparticles on the immobilization and bioavailability of Pb, Cd, Zn, and Ni in soil under ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) cultivation were investigated. The results of SEM–EDX, FTIR, and XRD showed that ZnO and MnO2 nanoparticles were successfully loaded onto biochar. The results showed that BC, BC@MnO2 and BC@ZnO treatments significantly increased shoots and roots dry weight of ryegrass compared to the control. The maximum dry weight of root and shoot (1.365 g pot−1 and 4.163 g pot−1, respectively) was reached at 1% BC@MnO2. The HMs uptake by ryegrass roots and shoots decreased significantly after addition of amendments. The lowest Pb, Cd, Zn and Ni uptake in the plant shoot (13.176, 24.92, 32.407, and 53.88 µg pot−1, respectively) was obtained in the 1% BC@MnO2 treatment. Modified biochar was more successful in reducing HMs uptake by ryegrass and improving plant growth than pristine biochar and can therefore be used as an efficient and cost effective amendment for the remediation of HMs contaminated soils. The lowest HMs translocation (TF) and bioconcentration factors were related to the 1% BC@MnO2 treatment. Therefore, BC@MnO2 was the most successful treatment for HMs immobilization in soil. Also, a comparison of the TF values of plant showed that ryegrass had a good ability to accumulate all studied HMs in its roots, and it is a suitable plant for HMs phytostabilization.

Effect of Cold Plasma Seed Treatment on Physiological and Biochemical Changes in Aged Mustard Seed Variety-RH0749

The low rate of seed germination is a major problem in modern agriculture. Cold-activated air plasma has been tested as a pre-treatment method to improve the rate and uniformity of the germination. In view of the widespread cultivation of mustard in India and other parts of the world, This study was conducted to determine alternative non-destructive seed treatment method based on cold plasma chemistry would offer a more viable alternative over traditional seed coating technologies Seed physiological characteristics as was modified in aged low vigour mustard seeds by coating the surface of the seeds with cold plasma process using a rotating plasma reactor during 2023-24 at CCS HAU, College of Agriculture Bawal. The source of atmospheric oxygen gas, nitrogen and heliun gas entering the plasma chamber during the reaction process determined the type of coating. Among the different treatments imposed, seed treatment with 300V at 10 Min significantly enhanced seed quality attributes viz., germination ( 92 %), root length ( 4.37 cm), shoot length ( 6.98 cm), mean seedling length (11.0 cm ), Seedling dry weight (2.67 mg) and SVI-I (1115), SVI-II (254), TDH (0.78 A480 nm) with lower electrical conductivity (14.20 dsm-1). The inhibitory effect noticed with a higher dose of plasma of 400v at 10 min suggested the need for judicious usage of these plasma frequencies in such applications. The first-ever report on the effect of new plasma state on seed germination and establishment of mustard revealed the positive influence that could be used as a seed treatment to enhance seed yield and quality.

It is hoped that the implementation of these findings can encourage partnerships between the private sector and the public sector to achieve significant development. It is hoped that this partnership can play an important role in addressing agricultural problems. Partnerships are formed to create shared values in the form of an institutional framework to address the root of problems.

Return to Traditional Wisdom in Controlling Maize Pests in Molamahu, Gorontalo, Indonesia

Government programs in agriculture, such as extension and seed and fertilizer assistance, have increased maize production, but also threaten the preservation of traditional wisdom. This article discusses intractable pest infestations as a major problem in maize farming in Molamahu Village, Gorontalo Regency, Gorontalo Province. Although many agricultural technologies have been developed, they have not been able to effectively control these pests. This study aims to explore the use of traditional methods by farmers in overcoming pest problems, as well as to demonstrate the effectiveness of local wisdom in this context. A qualitative approach was used by interviewing senior farmers and observing the practices of young farmers. The results of this study present clear and structured findings regarding the effectiveness of traditional methods in controlling maize pests. This study found that some traditional methods previously considered irrational turned out to have a robust scientific basis. These results confirm that local knowledge has great potential to strengthen eco-friendly pest control strategies in maize farming. The finding in this research underscores the importance of recognizing and utilizing local wisdom in the development of sustainable agricultural technology.

Behavioral and metabolic markers of cow morbidity in early lactation

The high productivity of cows on modern dairy farms means that their bodies are used almost at full capacity. Even minor violations in the conditions of keeping or feeding can lead to a significant increase in the morbidity of animals. In such conditions, preventive veterinary medicine is the main task of a veterinarian. In practice, preventing the development of the disease means the veterinarian's ability to predict the occurrence of a problem, identify its cause in time and offer preventive measures. The purpose of this work was to get acquainted with behavioral and metabolic markers for predicting morbidity in cows during early lactation. According to the methodology for systematic reviews of the literature, a search and analysis of scientific articles according to the topic of the study, which were published during 2000–2023, was carried out. To search for scientific articles, the scientometric databases of the Web of Science Core Collection and PubMed were used. Analysis of the study of behavioral and metabolic markers of morbidity in cows during early lactation showed the significant relevance of the problem for dairy farming. A significant number of scientific articles are devoted to the study of this issue. A significant amount of the results of scientific research has practical significance and is used in production. The other part serves as a basis for the formation of new substantiated scientific hypotheses. This gives reason to believe that solving the problem of timely diagnosis and prevention of cow diseases during the transition period is a matter of the near future. Certain physiological and behavioral parameters (duration of chewing and feeding, time of rest and motor activity, social interaction) during the dry period can be important indicators of metabolic changes or diseases in cows at the beginning of lactation. The accuracy of forecasting with the help of such parameters increases with the increase in the duration of the study and the number of indicators used. Physiological and behavioral parameters recorded by automated milking systems can be successfully used to diagnose and predict health problems of dairy cows. Further research in this field is an important challenge for veterinary science. An increase in the time spent in a lying position, the number of periods of rest and agonistic contractions per day, a decrease in the duration of chewing, feeding and motor activity, especially in the last trimester of pregnancy, are associated with an increased likelihood of transition period diseases (ketosis, abomasum displacement, reproductive disorders, etc.). The study of behavioral and metabolic markers of morbidity in cows during early lactation proved the significant relevance of the problem for dairy farming. A significant number of scientific articles are devoted to the study of this issue. We believe that solving the problem of timely diagnosis and prevention of cow diseases during the transition period is an important task of veterinary medical science today.

Optimizing Crop Water Productivity in Greenhouse Pepper

Although advanced production systems have been developed in the last 20 years, water scarcity is still a growing problem in agriculture. This study aims to evaluate the effect of different strategies that combine the application of seaweed and microbial biostimulants with regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) strategies on the irrigation water productivity (WPI), fruit quality parameters and soil enzymatic activity in pepper plants (Capsicum annum sp.) under two commercial greenhouse conditions. In each trial, two treatments were applied: (i) irrigation according to Farmer criteria without biostimulant applications and (ii) a combined treatment of RDI and the same biostimulation program, composed of Bacillus paralicheniformis and Ascophillum nodosum extracts. RDI was applied in different phenological stages in each greenhouse after the establishment until the 1st harvest in trial 1 or during the ripening and harvest period in trial 2. On average, the irrigation was reduced by 600 m3 ha−1 compared to the Farmer irrigation schedule. In both trials, biostimulation promoted an increase in fruit numbers, punctually in trial 1, leading to yield precocity, or generally in trial 2, obtaining a higher yield. Globally, WPI was increased when RDI was combined with biostimulation. This combined treatment also enhanced the root water absorption and improved the soil enzymatic activity in both greenhouses, suggesting that nutrients in the soil would become more available to plants. Thus, the combined action of biostimulation under different RDI strategies has been proved to be a useful strategy to improve agricultural sustainability.

A note on “A new method for intuitionistic fuzzy multi-objective linear fractional optimization problem and its application in agricultural land allocation problem”

Moges et al. (Inf. Sci. 625 (2023) 457–475) proposed a method to find a Pareto-optimal solution (POS) of intuitionistic fuzzy multi-objective linear fractional optimization problem (MOLFOP). In this method, firstly, an intuitionistic fuzzy MOLFOP is transformed into a crisp MOLFOP with the help of a ranking function. Then, using the existing method (Fuzzy Sets Syst. 125 (2002) 335–342), the transformed crisp MOLFOP is transformed into a crisp multi-objective linear optimization problem (MOLOP). Finally, it is assumed that to find a POS of the considered intuitionistic fuzzy MOLFOP is equivalent to find a POS of the transformed crisp MOLOP. It is pertinent to mention that this assumption is valid only if the transformed crisp MOLFOP is equivalent to the considered intuitionistic fuzzy MOLFOP as well as the transformed crisp MOLOP is equivalent to the transformed crisp MOLFOP. In this note, a numerical example is considered to show that the transformed crisp MOLFOP is not equivalent to the considered intuitionistic fuzzy MOLFOP. Also, on the basis of the existing results (Fuzzy Sets Syst. 246 (2014) 156–159), it is pointed out that the transformed crisp MOLOP is not equivalent to the transformed crisp MOLFOP. Therefore, Moges et al.’s method is not valid and hence, the results of agricultural planning problem of Ethopia for cultivation of different crops, obtained by Moges et al. with their proposed method, are not correct.

Study on the Coupling and Coordinated Development Mechanism and Implementation Path of Digital Economy Drive and Rural E-Commerce

The rural revitalization strategy is taken as an important measure to solve the problem of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and a powerful starting point for realizing this strategy is agricultural e-commerce. The vigorous development of agriculturale-commerce helps farmers eliminatepoverty, increase income, and promote agricultural industrialization. While bringing new development opportunities, it is also faced with new challenges, mainly including the lag of related supporting construction, the imbalance of regional development, and the unsustainability of development structure. With the rapid development of the digital economy, using digital technology to promote the reform of agricultural e-commerceis particularly critical, which plays an important role in promoting the digital transformation process of the agricultural economy and accelerating rural revitalization.Therefore, China should actively use a variety of digital technologies, take digital agricultural e-commerce as the core, and focus on optimizing and implementing the construction of relevant supporting facilities, innovating the development mode of agricultural e-commerce, and constructing a sustainable chain development system, thus providing new ideas and directions for the development of agricultural e-commerce and better promoting the revitalization of digital rural areas.

Adaptive Reactive Power Optimization in Offshore Wind Farms Based on an Improved Particle Swarm Algorithm

To address the reactive power optimization control problem in offshore wind farms (OWFs), this paper proposes an adaptive reactive power optimization control strategy based on an improved Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. Firstly, an OWF multi-objective optimization control model is established, with the total sum of voltage deviations at wind turbine (WT) terminals, active power network losses, and reactive power margin of WTs as comprehensive optimization objectives. Innovatively, adaptive weighting coefficients are introduced for the three sub-objectives, enabling the weights of each optimization objective to be adaptively adjusted based on real-time operating conditions, thus enhancing the adaptability of the reactive power optimization model to changes in operating conditions. Secondly, a Uniform Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (UAPSO) algorithm is proposed. On one hand, the algorithm initializes the particle swarm using a uniform initialization method; on the other hand, it improves the particle velocity update formula, allowing the inertia coefficient to adaptively adjust based on the number of iterations and the fitness ranking of particles. Simulation results demonstrate the following: (1) Under various operating conditions, the proposed adaptive multi-objective reactive power optimization strategy can ensure the stability of node voltages in offshore wind farms, reduce active power losses, and simultaneously improve reactive power margins. (2) Compared with the traditional PSO algorithm, UAPSO exhibits an approximately 10% improvement in solution speed and enhanced solution accuracy.

KEY ASPECTS OF THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE CHARACTER OF COMPETITION ON THE UKRAINIAN FOOD MARKET

The set of opportunities of an agricultural enterprise to create competitive advantages make up the potential of its competitiveness. However, competitive advantages, especially those that can be characterized as sustainable, are formed on the basis of the mobilization of the economic potential of the enterprise, which is a set of opportunities for the long-term implementation of the main activity of the business entity. Accordingly, the study identified the place and role of the potential of competitiveness in the structure of the enterprise's potential and its relationship with the economic potential. In turn, it was established that the components of economic potential are production potential in combination with commercial and sales opportunities, the basis of all types of enterprise potential is resource potential, and the potential of product competitiveness and enterprise competitiveness is based on the economic potential of the enterprise, contributing to the growth of the latter. Agricultural producers face many problems that can prevent them from growing and selling their products profitably. The problem of ensuring the effective economic activity of the studied subjects of agricultural production lies in the relative complexity of the relationships between them within the framework of the current market environment. the market environment of the functioning of commercial structures is not homogeneous, and the levers of state regulation do not have an unequivocal effect on all operators of one or another commodity market at the same time. To increase productivity and expand participation in market relations, they absolutely need appropriate mechanisms and policy measures. In the current situation, it becomes necessary for each manufacturer to analyze its competitiveness and develop effective means to increase it. An important condition for ensuring the competitiveness of enterprises is the effective use of resources, personnel qualifications, achievements of modern management, innovative, financial and informational capabilities of the enterprise, which together represent its potential. State determination of the legal field of existence of market participants requires a clear understanding of the relevant state of their interaction and the development trends of this interaction. The consequences of agricultural regulation policy and the manifestation of market forces in relation to the productivity and evolution of the food industry vary depending on the field, direction of production, etc.

Impacts of Heavy Metal Pollution on Agricultural Production and Response Strategies

Agriculture is one of human beings’ most essential productive activities, and it is closely linked to human sustenance. Due to the ignorance of environmental production, production waste treatment in industries, and the lack of government regulation, the heavy metal pollution problem in agriculture has gradually become an important problem that needs to be solved urgently. Heavy metal pollution in agricultural land is a widespread problem that can contaminate downstream water systems, reduce crop yields, and threaten human safety. This paper examines the main sources of heavy metal pollutants and their impacts on agriculture and proposes related treatment measures for the public. Firstly, in part, by analyzing the sources of heavy metal pollutants, researchers find out that the pollutants are usually categorized into factory emissions, municipal waste pollution, and the use of pesticides. Secondly, the paper focuses on illustrating the impacts on agriculture. Mentioning the destruction of crop growth and health hazards posed on humans. Finally, the treatment measure is divided into the aspects of present technologies (including Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and Phytoremediation), treatments for governments, and measures for farmers. In the future, to ensure people’s health, human beings should put more effort into solving heavy metal pollution, caring for agricultural safety, and protecting the environment. The paper will contribute to recalling society’s awareness of environmental protection, offering new aspects of viewing heavy metal pollution, and providing practical methods of solving the agricultural pollution problem.

Comparison of Machine Learning Tree-Based Algorithms to Predict Future Paratuberculosis ELISA Results Using Repeat Milk Tests.

Machine learning algorithms have been applied to various animal husbandry and veterinary-related problems; however, its use in Johne's disease diagnosis and control is still in its infancy. The following proof-of-concept study explores the application of tree-based (decision trees and random forest) algorithms to analyze repeat milk testing data from 1197 Canadian dairy cows and the algorithms' ability to predict future Johne's test results. The random forest models using milk component testing results alongside past Johne's results demonstrated a good predictive performance for a future Johne's ELISA result with a dichotomous outcome (positive vs. negative). The final random forest model yielded a kappa of 0.626, a roc AUC of 0.915, a sensitivity of 72%, and a specificity of 98%. The positive predictive and negative predictive values were 0.81 and 0.97, respectively. The decision tree models provided an interpretable alternative to the random forest algorithms with a slight decrease in model sensitivity. The results of this research suggest a promising avenue for future targeted Johne's testing schemes. Further research is needed to validate these techniques in real-world settings and explore their incorporation in prevention and control programs.

Political economy of farmer group empowerment policy to support the achievement of SDGs

The policy of forming and strengthening farmer groups is not a practical solution for advancing agriculture/improving farmer welfare. Strengthening institutions and empowering farmer groups is not merely a matter of agricultural economics, but of political economy. The problem is, there are many technical and non-technical obstacles that place farmer groups as actors in sustainable agricultural policy and development in accordance with SDGs #2. This study discusses the complexity of agricultural problems in Watu Lanur Village, Poco Ranakan Sub-District, East Nusa Tenggara. The less than optimal natural carrying capacity, the socio-economic conditions of rain-fed farmers and the lack of intensive assistance from the government are among the causes. Empowerment of farmer groups is hampered by subsistence ethics and socio-cultural issues (customs/traditions). This study uses qualitative methods with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and observations of farmer groups. This study shows that the community is trying to empower itself by helping farmer groups. However, in the process, technical and non-technical obstacles are still found that do not support the community's innovation movement. The conclusion of this study is that farmer group institutions are weakened and less oriented towards implementing sustainable agriculture as a result of the establishment of farmer groups simply to fulfill formal aspects of empowering farmers in order to improve farmer welfare and less use of local knowledge in empowering farmer groups.

Optimizing Greenhouse Design with Miniature Models and IoT (Internet of Things) Technology-A Real-Time Monitoring Approach.

The market for smart greenhouses has been valued at USD 1.77 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow to 3.39 billion by 2030. In order to make this more efficient, with the help of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, it is desired to eliminate the problem of traditional agriculture, which has poor monitoring and accuracy control of the parameters of a culture. Climate control decisions in a greenhouse are made based on parameter monitoring systems, which can be remotely controlled. Instead of this adjustment of the measured parameters, it would be preferable from the point of view of energy consumption that they should be calculated at optimal values from the design phase of the greenhouse. For this reason, it would be better to perform an energy simulation of the greenhouse first. For the study carried out in this work, a small greenhouse (mini-greenhouse) was built. It was equipped with an IoT sensor system, which measured indoor climate parameters and could send data to the cloud for future recording and processing. A simplified mathematical model of the heat balance was established, and the measured internal parameters of the mini-greenhouse were compared with those obtained from the simulation. After validating the mathematical model of the mini-greenhouse, this paper aimed to find the optimal position for placing a normal-sized greenhouse. For this, several possible locations and orientations of the greenhouse were compared by running the mathematical model, with which the most unfavorable positions could be eliminated. Then, some considerably cheaper "mini-greenhouses" were made and placed in the locations with the desired orientations. Using sensor systems and technologies similar to those presented in this work, the parameters from all mini-greenhouses can be monitored in real time. This real-time monitoring allows for the simultaneous analysis of all greenhouses, without the disadvantages of data collection directly in the field, with all data being recorded in the cloud and other IoT-specific advantages being made use of. In the end, we can choose the optimal solution for the location of a real-size greenhouse.

State information systems as a part of land use planning in agriculture

In the article, the authors discuss the lack of a unified source of information that can be used for solving land use planning problems in agriculture. Highlighting different levels of storage of such information, some state information systems are considered in this paper as the most important for solving such problems. The authors also propose the possible improvements in this sphere.
