ABSTRACT: The objective of the paper is to analyse the policy issues and impact of agricultural development in Odisha. The study is based on secondary data from 1990-91 to 2018-19 collected from Economic survey reports, Department Of Agriculture and Farmers' Empowerment, Planning and Convergence Department of the State of Odisha, Directorate of Economics and Statistics etc. A comparative analysis has been done using ANOVA to find out how the agriculture productivity before the introduction of State's agriculture policy in 2008 and revision of the same policy in 2013.Aricultural development is vital for the economy of Odisha as 49% of the workforce are engaged in this sector. According to the World Bank report 2009 agricultural growth can bring quick reduction in poverty.......

ABSTRACT: Sweetpotato is an important food, feed and vegetable crop in most tropical developing countries. The decision to adopt a new cultivar is complexly related to field and yield performance as well as consumer taste acceptability. The objective of this study was toidentify sweetpotato management system andconstraints to farmers, traders and consumers in Niger and Nigeria. The study was carried out for both Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Semi-Structured Questionnaire (SSQ) in Niger and Nigeria. Data was collected using established Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools and was analysed using "R" software version 3.1.5. The results revealedthat in Niger, sweetpotato is men crop, while it is women crop in Nigeria mostly in South-East part. The main top five production constraints in Niger were sweetpotato weevil (Cylaspuncticolis) (61.11%), caterpillar (44.44%), drought stress (40.00%), post-harvest......

ABSTRACT: 180 day- old broiler chicks were used in a study designed to evaluate the effects of different levels of feed restriction at the growing period on the physiological response and performance of broiler chickens under the humid tropical conditions of hot season. The experiment consisted of four quantitative feed restriction treatment groups, each in three replicates of 15 birds per replicate. The treatments indicate the proportion of total daily allowance of feed restricted and offered to groups: T1 (0%), T2 (15%), T3 (30%) and T4 (45%). The experiment was framed in a Completely Randomized Design and was conducted in the hot season (April, May and June). Feed was restricted during the third, fourth and fifth weeks of age. Blood samples were collected from three birds in each of the....
