Abstract: Meeting the world's food needs requires efforts to promote the cultivation and use of underutilized and neglected plants, which have the potential to improve food and nutritional security. Phaseolus lunatus (L.), is one of them can serve as a promising potential food crop. This study aims to contribute to food security throught he valorization of P. lunatus (L.) beans seeds, with a view to their more rational use indifferent diets. Seeds obtained at stage 4 (52days) of maturity after harvesting were cooked for 45, 60 and 75 minutes at 100°C. The results showed an increase in moisture content (29.68 to 36,27%), carbohydrates (64.16 to 71.56%) and fiber (4.62 to 6.05%), followed by a reduction in protein (4.62 to 6.05%), ash (4.62 to 6.05%) and lipids (4.62 to 6.05%). The results also showed a non-significant decrease in essential and non-essential aminoacids during cooking. Similarly, cooking increased water absorption capacity (WAC) (230.00 to 322.60%), oil absorption capacity (OAC) (190.36 to 250.36%), swelling power (SP) (2.26 to 23.33gwater/gDM) and solubility (1.80 to19.90%) at temperatures ranging from 50 to 90°C. The study provides useful information for consumers and food manufacturers that lima bean flour has great potential to increase the nutritional value of foods.

Abstract: This research was conducted with the aim of determining the fungicide's rate (Tilt) on wheat varieties with different level of response to Zymoseptoria tritici blotch. From the result of this study, there is significant difference between bread wheat varieties with ZSTB reaction. The highest final disease severity (93% and 83.5%) and AUDPC (576.19% and 506.7%) value recorded on Pavon 76 & Alidoro Variety without fungicide application; whereas the lowest final disease severity (49.0% and 65.5%) and AUDPC (278.3% and 464.8%) value recorded on Alidoro and Pavon 76 variety sprayed with 0.75 lt/ha, respectively. There are significant differences between different Tilt fungicide rates with ZSTB reaction. Among all treatments there is significant difference on yield, thousand kernel weight and hector-liter weight. The highest yield (4.13t/ha and 3.58t/ha), recorded on rate-75%; whereas the lowest (2.97t/ha and 2.06t/ha) recorded on untreated plot from Alidoro and Pavon-76 varieties, respectively. Among fungicide spray dose there is highly significant difference between sprayed plots versus unsprayed plots regardless of spray rates. From this we have concluded that the interaction of Tilt 250 EC with Alidoro which is moderately resistant variety was very effective to manage wheat ZSTB disease.

Abstract: An experiment was carried out using twenty eight male black head sheep with an average initial body weight 19.91±0.2 kg (mean±SEM) at Yabello Pastoral and Dryland Agriculture Research Center with the objective to investigate the effect of supplementation with Pigeon pea, Cowpea and Lablab on feed intake, body weight change and carcass parameters of black head sheep. The experiment was performed for one hundred five (105) days including with adaptation period of fifteen (15) days. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) was used. Four blocks of seven animals based on their initial body weight and the four treatments were randomly assigned to each animal in a block. The experiment layout consist of adlibitum feeding of Rhodes grass hay plus 200 g dry matter (DM) of wheat bran for all groups and additional supplementation forage legumes with 312, 340 and 352g DM per head per day of T2, T3 and T4 provided respectively. Rhodes grass hay intake was significantly different (P<0.001) between forage supplemented and control experiment. Sheep in the control consumed more dry matter of Rhodes grass hay as compared to the legume supplemented groups. There were significant differences (P<0.001) in total dry matter, crude protein, Ash, Organic matter and fiber intakes between the control (T1) and forage legumes supplemented animals (T2, T3 and T4). Highest average daily weight gain 88.13g/d recorded in sheep supplemented with wheat bran (200 g/d) + lablab (312 g/d) and lowest average daily weight gain 26.68 g/d was recorded in control treatment. Feed conversion efficiency (FCE) was higher in T2 (P<0.11) in forage legumes supplemented sheep compared to the T1, T3 and T4. Supplementation of wheat bran and forage legumes change growth performance, feed conversion ratio and feed conversion efficiency of experimental sheep. The smallest hot carcass weight (8.71 kg) was recorded for sheep under control treatment, whereas the highest hot carcass weight (14.46 kg) was recorded for sheep in the supplemented with lablab (T2). Dressing percentage on slaughter weight (SW) base was significantly higher (P<0.001) in supplemented sheep than the control group. A significantly higher dressed carcass weight (P<0.001) was achieved in forage legumes supplemented sheep compared to the control. Higher ribs eye muscle area was observed in order of T2>T3>T4 compared to the control. Therefore, T2 indicate more profitable regarding with growth performance as average daily weight gain, final body weight gain, feed conversion efficiency, carcass weight and net return among the supplemented forage legumes.
