AGRICULTURE IN ISRAEL

Matthew N. O. Sadiku — 2024-02-14

Agriculture is a highly developed industry in Israel. Only 20% of the land area is naturally arable. Due to the diversity of the land and climate across the nation, Israel is able to grow a wide range of crops including wheat, sorghum, and corn. Israel has overcome many challenges (such as limited land and water resources) to emerge as a world leader in agriculture and water management technologies. Israel’s agriculture experience and success is an invaluable tool that can benefit other developing countries in Africa and beyond. Many farmers around the world look up to Israel on how to manage and flourish in adverse, inhospitable conditions. This paper introduces the reader to the practice of agriculture in Israel.

AGRICULTURE IN RUSSIA

Matthew N. O. Sadiku — 2024-02-14

Russia is the largest nation in the world; its climate varies significantly across its vast territory. Only the western parts experience certain climatic conditions that are required for successful crop cultivation. Grain crops such as wheat, barley, oats, and rye are the principal crops grown in Russia. Other crops such as corn, sunflower seeds, soybeans, and potatoes are also grown. Agriculture remains one of the most important sectors in Russia’s economy and the country’s authorities perceive it as one of potential economic growth drivers. The last few years have seen agriculture emerge as a real success story of the Russian economy. This is the reason for enthusiasm about food as a driver for Russia’s rise. This paper introduces the reader to the practice of agriculture in Russia.

AGRICULTURE IN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

The United Arab Emirates is located in the Middle East, on the Western Asian continent, and shares borders with Saudi Arabia and Oman. It has rapidly grown into a strong, thriving economy. The federation’s economy is dominated by the petroleum produced primarily in the Abu Dhabi emirate. The rapid growth in the UAE population alerted the government to look for alternatives to increase food supplies other than from imports. This increase is due to open market policy that enabled several companies around the World to open new branches to their businesses in the UAE . The federal government was viewed as providing a healthy business environment that resulted from government’s transparency and business legislation. This paper focuses on the practice of agriculture the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

BIOACCUMULATION OF LEAD ELEMENT IN BEAN PLANT ORGANS

Khushmurodov Jobir Panjievich — 2024-09-30

Bioaccumulation of lead in the soil occurs for various reasons and accumulates in plant organs, which affects the quality of the product. The article describes the bioaccumulation of the lead element in the organs of the bean crop, and shows the quantity of lead in the root, stem, leaf and grain. The highest values for variants were 10.70 mg/kg in root variant 6, 1.36 mg/kg in stem variant 10, 2.38 mg/kg in leaf variant 5, and 2.25 mg/kg in grain variant 6 was determined, and higher bioaccumulation was observed in roots up to 21 times, in stems up to 3 times, in leaves and grains up to 5 times, respectively.

BIOACCUMULATION OF NICKEL IONS IN TOMATO AND CUCUMBER ORGANS

Mallaeva Dilafruz Abdikholiq kizi — 2024-09-30

When observing the bioaccumulation of nickel ions in the plant organs of tomatoes and cucumbers, the highest amounts are mainly in the roots, from 5.94 mg/kg to 7.60 mg/kg of contaminated soil in tomatoes, 11.88-15.19 times the MPC, and less in cucumber roots compared to tomato roots. bioaccumulation was observed, 3.35-5.38 mg/kg, and 6.71 to 10.77 times higher bioaccumulation than MPC. This situation is the opposite in the stem part, where bioaccumulation was observed in tomato plant stem up to 2.58 times MPC, and in cucumber up to 5.00 times, in leaves 1.88-3.28 times MPC in tomato and 1.45-1.93 times in cucumber leaves, respectively. During the experiments, bioaccumulation of 1.05 mg/kg was found in both plants in the fruits of the plant, which was found to be 2.10 times higher than MPCon average, forming the following decreasing ecological series:

in tomato organs - root→leaf→fruit→stem;
in cucumber organs - root→stem→fruit→leaf.
