http://ijeab.com/ Open Access international Journal to publish research paper en-us August Invasive weeds are serious problems in crop production. They affect the production of vital crops, such as wheat, rice, sorghum, maize, and legumes. Weeds are major biotic stressors that reduce biomass and yield in many crops. Parthenium hysterophorus, Lantana camara, Chromolaena odorata, and Ageratum conyzoides are the predominant weed species that threaten agricultural fields in India. These aggressive weed species compete with other crop plants for vital resources such as growth factors, water, essential nutrients, and space, and ultimately cause a remarkable loss of agricultural yield. Furthermore, weed plants release allelopathic compounds in soil that inhibit seed germination and crop growth, and also alter soil pH. Farmers traditionally rely on weed management practices that demand excessive labour and high costs while delivering low efficiency. Although chemical herbicides are effective in controlling weeds, excessive application poses severe environmental risks, and repeated long-term use may cause weed resistance. Considering the secondary effects of chemical herbicides, rhizobacterial biological weed control is an efficacious alternative to control these weed plants. Increasing agricultural yields is essential to meet the food needs of a rapidly growing global population. Numerous rhizobacteria have been identified for their ability to suppress weed growth. The use of rhizobacteria is a new and upcoming approach for the biocontrol of invasive weeds. Certain rhizobacterial strains suppress weed growth, providing crop plants with a competitive advantage for essential growth factors. Various mechanisms have been studied by which rhizobacteria can suppress weed growth, production of plant growth regulators (indole-3-acetic acid and 5-aminolevulinic acid), antibiotics, VOCs (hydrogen cyanide), exopolysaccharides (biofilm), and phytotoxins. Inoculation of potent rhizobacterial strains, which show the property of biocontrol of weeds, can be used for the management of weeds and can be implemented in sustainable agriculture practices. Use of rhizobacteria is an environment friendly approach for the management of invasive weeds and is highly compatible with sustainable agriculture. http://ijeab.com/detail/microbial-mechanisms-suppressing-invasive-weeds-for-sustainable-agriculture-a-review/ Dr. Mrunal M.

Products from agroforestry production methods help millions of small farmers around the world meet their basic necessities and improve their standard of living. In Bangladesh, the advantages of agroforestry systems and their tactics for promoting livelihood success are sometimes not consistently acknowledged. The study's goal was to explore viable local agroforestry practices and to ascertain how they might affect the development of the livelihoods and means of subsistence of ethnic farmers in Bangladesh's Madhupur Garh. The study identified five main types of local potential agroforestry practices, which are Acacia-Pineapple-Papaya, Acacia-Pineapple-Ginger, Acacia-Pineapple-Turmeric, Mango-Pineapple-Papaya, and Acacia Pineapple-Aroid based agroforestry that are cultivated throughout the Madhupur Garh, using a variety of qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. Additionally, these agroforestry techniques have concurrently improved the human, social, financial, natural, and physical capital of ethnic farmers. This suggests that the area's prospective agroforestry techniques have greatly improved farmers' agroforestry production knowledge and skills, as well as their knowledge of and access to educational institutions, home infrastructures, healthcare facilities, local road systems, and social networks. As a result, the study came to the conclusion that locally viable agroforestry techniques like Acacia-Pineapple-Aroid had improved the livelihood of the ethnic farmers, which in turn helped the community as a whole. http://ijeab.com/detail/the-improvement-of-ethnic-farmers-livelihoods-by-agroforestry-practices-in-the-madhupur-garh-bangladesh/ J.

Islam http://ijeab.com/upload_document/issue_files/2IJEAB-112202321-TheImprovement.pdf A field experiment was conducted during the kharif seasons of 2024 and 2025 at the Instructional Dairy Farm, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, to evaluate the efficacy of eco-friendly integrated pest management (IPM) modules against the major insect pests of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.), namely shoot fly (Atherigona soccata Rondani), stem borer (Chilo partellus Swinhoe), and fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith). The study aimed to identify sustainable and environmentally safe alternatives to conventional chemical pesticides for effective pest management and enhanced fodder productivity. Thirteen treatments comprising botanical formulations (neem oil, Neemastra, Agniastra, Brahmastra, Dashparni Ark, Panchgavya), biological control agents (Trichogramma chilonis, Metarhizium anisopliae, Bacillus thuringiensis), cultural practices, and a chemical check were evaluated in a randomized block design with three replications. The observations on shoot fly eggs and deadhearts, stem borer damage, and fall armyworm whorl damage were recorded at different crop growth stages. The results showed that 3% neem oil was the most effective treatment during both the years, recording the minimum deadhearts (10.00%) by shootfly, minimum deadhearts by stem borer (10.00 and 16.67%) and least fall armyworm damage (13.33 and 16.67%). The yield data revealed significantly more fodder yield from neem oil-based treatment (544.79 and 557.71 q/ha) as compared to control during both the years respectively. The findings demonstrate the potential of neem-based botanical formulations as a key component of sustainable IPM strategies, offering effective pest suppression, enhanced fodder yield, and reduced reliance on synthetic insecticides for residue-free sorghum production. http://ijeab.com/detail/evaluation-of-eco-friendly-integrated-pest-management-modules-against-major-insect-pests-of-sorghum-sorghum-bicolor-l/ Parul Dobhal, Ravi Prakash Maurya http://ijeab.com/upload_document/issue_files/3IJEAB-10720261-Evaluation.pdf
