     summary: Abstract This study tried to identify factors affecting vegetable production efficiency using cross-sectional data obtained from 385 randomly and proportionally sampled households from three districts of West Shewa zone, Ethiopia. This study was undertaken to determine the problem faced by the farmers in vegetable production, compare the severity of the problems faced by the vegetable producers, determine some selected characteristics of the farmers and explore the relationship of the selected characteristics of the farmers with problem faced in vegetable production efficiency.

     summary: 3.2 Property Rights and Role of Women in The Farm Households In Mymensingh, respondents mentioned that although women entitle for fathers’ property as ratio 2:1= boy: girl and mothers’ property as ratio 1:1; however, most women obtained a lump sum amount of lands and/or gave up major part of their entitlement on fathers’ property in order to maintain the kin relationship with their brother. On the other hand, FGD members noted that tribal women had good knowledge on cropping season, crop varieties and crop management as there was no difference in the participation of tribal male and female in the rice and non-rice cropping in Bandarban.

     summary: Age happens to be a significant determinant of the practice of climate change adaptation as its t-value is - 2.17 (since its absolute value is greater than two). This is not surprising as the effects of climate change has worsened in the last two decades and some of these farmers had been farming without such measures of adaptation, therefore agriculture related organizations should take up the responsibility to sensitize older farmers on the need for climate change adaptation to them and the world at large.

     summary: The economic parameter obtained in this study compares favorably with the result obtained by Gebeyew et al.

It is however safe to conclude that millet and sorghum can completely replace yellow maize in broiler diets without adverse effects.

     summary: Soil compatibility is influenced by soil organic matter content, soil water content during trafficking, initial dry bulk intensity, soil strength (cone index) and soil texture (Gysi, 2001). Land degradation, usually accompanied by soil erosion, always results in a decrease or complete loss of land productivity, and produces on-site and off-site pollution to soil and water.

     summary: Subjecting cattle to formulated feeds and grazing on rice forage is an alternative measure and could help to overcome these continuous killings and maiming of rural dwellers in the northern part of the country. Apart from the fact that grazing cattle on rice forage would reduce farmers-herders conflicts, it has a lot of economic (high milk) and environmental benefits (recycle of animal droppings on the paddy fields for optimal plant growth).

     summary: Linear regression statistical analysis was used to predict cocoa yield with certain amount of rainfall with the correlation coefficient ‘r’ value of 0.97 which implies that rainfall changes go a long way to determine the same variation trend in the cocoa yield. A little millimeter of rainfall above or below the required range of rain for cocoa plantation greatly affects cocoa yield.

     summary: However, due to the constraints in land accessibility coupled to the farmers-herders clashes for limited land resources, it is important to shift the focus from extensification (cultivating large expanse of land) to intensification (the use of small land area with more inputs) to boost watermelon production (Peter, 2018). CONCLUSION The findings of this study had shown that in domesticating exotic watermelon varieties, it is importance to consider the environmental stability of the variety, as though the DB variety had better growth performance, it was the CS variety that produced bigger fruits which is the economic yield of the plant in Nigeria.

     summary: Snail diet commonly includes lime supplementation, which is crucial for shell development. Ani et al. (2013) reported that decreasing the crude protein level of snail diets to less than 18% crude protein would significantly reduce their growth performance, while Nyameasem and Borketey-La (2014) concluded that juvenile snails fed broiler starter (19.7% CP) perform best compared to others fed with unripe pawpaw fruits and other forms of formulated diets.

     summary: As the results shown in table 2 & 3 confirmed that the two variables (FDI job creation and FDI Taxes Payment) are statically significant and have a strong influence on FID agriculture development and FDI poverty alleviation, a process analysis were carried out to check the direct and indirect effect of the two variables of FDI job creation (M1) and FDI Taxes Payment (M2) used as intervening factors of FDI agriculture development (ID) on FDI poverty alleviation (DV). The results shown that FDI implication in agriculture development through FDI job creation, FDI taxes payment have a strong impact on poverty alleviation but with weak effect at long-term, however, FDI transfer of knowledge and technology have a weak impact on poverty alleviation though with greater significance at long term.
