Lam) genotypes sourced from National Root Crops Research Institute, Umudike were evaluated under rainfed condition in 2020 and 2021 cropping seasons at the Teaching and Research Farm of the University of Uyo, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria to identify the high yielding and adaptable genotypes. The five genotypes; Umuspo-3, Umuspo-1, Naspot-12, Lourdes and Erica were used as treatments and the experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on growth, yield and yield related characters were collected and analysis of variance, correlation and principal component analysis were performed. The result of the study indicated that the genotype differ significantly (P≤ 0.05) for number of marketable roots, weight of marketable roots and fresh roots yield. Umuspo-3 produced the highest storage root yield (29.22 t/ha, 28.78t/ha) in 2020 and 2021 cropping seasons, respectively. The result of the correlation analysis also revealed that vine length, number of marketable roots, weight of marketable were highly significantly and positively (P≤ 0.01) correlated with fresh root yield. Principal component analysis (PCA) had three main principal components explaining 82.41% of the total variation with number of marketable roots, weight of marketable tuber and storage root yield contributing the most to the first PCA. Umuspo-3 recorded high yield than the other four orange-fleshed sweetpotato. Therefore, Umuspo-3 was identified as a high yielding and adaptable orangefleshed sweetpotato genotype and could be recommended mass cultivation in Uyo agro-ecology as a high yielding orange-fleshed sweetpotato. 
Study on Repayment Behavior of Beneficiary Farmers among Kisan Credit Card Scheme in Dewas District of Madhya Pradesh
No full textIndia lives in villages. The majority of our country’s population depends upon agriculture. Hence, there is a great need for inclusion of rural people in the financial framework. When it is considered rural credit system to facilitate various financial needs of the rural folks or farmers, it has many dimensions. Over the years, NABARD has taken initiatives to supply adequate credit to farmers, which has made the rural finance system more efficient. Kisan credit card users were determined on the basis of the time to which they repaid their loan and categorized into three groups i.e. those who repaid their loan in schedule date termed as ‘regulars’. Those who repaid their loan after scheduled date of repayment termed as ‘irregulars’. Those who failed to repay their loan on schedule date termed as ‘defaulter’. Finding reported that repayment behaviour of KCC holders the result showed that the majority (46.67 per cent) of the respondents were found to repay their credit on timely, 29.17 per cent respondents were found who not capable to repay their credit on time schedule and 24.16 per cent respondents were found who had defaulte
Assessment Genetic Variability among Three Parents and Six Progenies of Tomato using Multivariate Analysis
Get PDFSix tomato hybrids developed through diallel mating design and the three parents were obtained from the plant breeding section of Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba-Akoko and used to assess the genetic variability among them. The breeding materials were raised in the nursery for three weeks before transplanting. The hybrids and parents were laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) replicated three times Seedlings were transplanted at a spacing of 60 x 30 cm between and within row. Variability estimates were highly significant (p< 5%) in all the 10 measured quantitative traits. The average fruit mean yield of 21.42 g was recorded for all the materials evaluated. Phenotypic variances were higher in magnitude than its corresponding genotypic variances apart from pericarp thickness which had the same value of 0.002 and 100% heritability. Factor scores and communality of the 10 traits of tomato obtained from the factor analysis showed that the first factor were positively loaded with eigen vectors for number of branches (0.818), number of fruits per cluster (0.803), plant height (0.776), fruit yield (0.748) and number of clusters per plant (0.731). The second factor was positively loaded with pericarp thickness (0.723) and number of clusters per plant (0.460). Factor three was only positively loaded with fruit weight (0.881). The communality ranged from 0.618 for fruit yield to 0.930 for fruit weight. Conclusively, traits such as fruit yield, pericarp thickness, fruit weight, number of locules per fruit, days to flowering and days to first fruit set are important traits that should be considered in further breeding programme in tomato.  
A Reputation Generation Framework Across Platforms Using Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis
Get PDFThe active growth of Internet-based applications such as social networks and e-commerce websites leads people to generate a tremendous amount of opinions and reviews about products and services,Thus, it becomes very crucial to automatically process them. Over the last ten years, many systems have beenproposed to generate and visualize reputation by mining textual and numerical reviews. However, they have neglected the fact that online reviews could be posted by malicious users that intend to affect the reputation of the target product. Besides, these systems provide an overall reputation value toward the entity and disregard generating reputation scores toward each aspect of the product. Therefore, we developed a system that incorporates spam _ltering, review popularity, review posting time, and aspect-based sentiment analysis to generate accurate and reliable reputation values. The proposed model computes numerical reputation value for an entity and its aspects based on opinions collected from various platforms. Our proposed system alsooffers an advanced visualization tool that displays detailed information about its output. Experiment results conducted on multiple datasets collected from various platforms (Twitter, Face book, Amazon . . . ) show theef_cacy of the proposed system compared with state-of-the-art reputation generation system
