Climate change mitigation and adaptation through livestock waste management by E. Frimawaty, A. Ilmika, N. Sakina, J. Mustabi

“…In descriptive statistics, data were compiled, and the age, long husbandry experiences (year), number of family member, number of farming assistant, gender, education, farmer group participation status, side job, type of business, cattle ownership status, number of cattle (head), and weight total of cattle’s manure (kilogram per day) were examined qualitatively. A chi-square test was used to compare the experimental results (perception and knowledge of livestock manure management) with practical livestock manure management.FINDING: This study found that the average age of farmers in the study area is 45 and 11.2 percent received have high formal education level from a university. …”

Exogenous Application of Lanthanum Chloride to Rice at Booting Stage Can Increase Chlorophyll Content, Modulate Chlorophyll Fluorescence and Promote Grain Yield Under Deficit Irrig... by Peng Liu, Xilin Fang, Yue Wang, Xin Yang, Qiang Li

“…Under deficit irrigation, this treatment significantly enhanced grain yield by increasing the thousand-grain weight, spikelet filling rate, and number of grains per panicle. These results suggest that spraying 100 mg·L⁻¹ lanthanum chloride at the booting stage under deficit irrigation can effectively increase the chlorophyll content, thereby increasing the light energy conversion efficiency of the PS II reaction center, ultimately resulting in increased spikelet filling rate and grain yields.…”
