      flesch: 52
     summary: This economic desirability analysis was carried out in the framework of a benefit – cost analysis (private accounting perspective), also called financial analysis, as it was based on the incremental net benefits of the BMP Technology using the “with and without” criterion. In that sense, the benefits and costs associated with BMP Technology were compared with those generated when the new practice has not been adopted, a situation called Base Technology.

     summary: The profitability analyses show that for every N1.00 spent in cassava seed production, about N0.92 (male) and N0.90 (female) were generated, while N1.50 (male) and N1.32 (female) were generated for root production. There is dearth of knowledge on gender gaps that may exist in the cassava seed systems, preferred traits and effects on producers and processors in the value chain, constraints in cassava seed production and the profitability of cassava seed production.

Introduction Frost is a common agrometeorological disaster that can cause significant damage to crops by reducing yields, lowering quality, and even resulting in crop failure. In order to reduce the pollution caused by frost protection, mechanized frost protection technology such as heating furnace, airflow disturbance, sprinkler irrigation and helicopter frost protection have been gradually developed in recent years.

     summary: The qP and NPQ of lettuce under different soil moisture content are shown in Figure 3, and with the decrease of soil moisture content, qP showed a downward trend, increased slightly under B treatment, and then gradually decreased. The results of this study showed that with the decrease of soil moisture content, the transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, net photosynthetic rate and intercellular CO2 concentration of lettuce all showed a downward trend, indicating that the gradual decrease of the net photosynthetic rate of lettuce under drought stress conditions was mainly caused by stomatal restriction, which was consistent with the effect of different soil moisture content on the photosynthetic physiology of lettuce in Pei Yun et al (Pei et al. 2015).

     summary: Climate perception refers to the degree of cognition of climate change, including temperature and precipitation, various meteorological disasters, etc. Objective adaptation ability can be defined as the adaptation ability composed of natural, information, economic, technical, management, and institutional resources, and is reasonably allocated in the adaptation decision-making process to achieve an effective response, manifested as the effectiveness of these resources for adaptation. Climate perception positively and significantly affects objective adaptation (β = 0.447, P < 0.032**), suggesting that growers have perceived climate change and this perception is likely to be transformed into positive adaptation behaviors.

     summary: To enhance model performance, feature wavelengths were selected using three methods: Bootstrap Soft Shrinkage (BOSS), Competitive Adaptive Reweighted Sampling (CARS), and Iterative Retained Information Variable (IRIV). Through multiple rounds of iterations, the algorithm gradually filters out the optimal subset of features, thereby reducing the impact of redundant and interfering variables on model performance.

     summary: Introduction Peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) requires low temperature to break the dormancy of seeds and buds resulting in seed germination and flowering (Americo et al., 2013). Germination Speed (Rate) Index (GSI): reflects the percentage of seed germination on each day of the germination period (Esechie, 1994) and calculated as the formula presented by Maguire (1962), expressing the summation of the ratio between the numbers of germinated seeds and the evaluation days.

     summary: Thus, clay helped conserving soil water and nutrients by improving soil structure that contributed increasing growth and water productivity of wheat. Wastewater reuse can reduce fertilizer rates due to its fertilizer contribution in crop production (Tabriz et al., 2011; Biswas et al., as.ideasspread.org Agricultural Science Vol. 2, No. 2; 2020 90 Published by IDEAS SPREAD 2017; Biswas and Mojid, 2018) and thus can provide a low-cost source of irrigation water (Mojid et al., 2012a).

     summary: However, due to the controversial results regarding vitamin E effects on broiler growth performance (Pompeu et al., 2018; Lu et al., 2014), there is few reliable experimental evidence about the performance of the selected vitamin and mineral on the broiler chickens. Considering all of these issues the present study was carried out to investigate the effect of dicalcium phosphate (DCP) and vitamin E supplementation on growth, hematological parameters (RBC, Hb, PCV and ESR), and on serum biochemical values (calcium, phosphorus, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase) of broiler.
