The goal of this study was to see how dust from a cement plant in northwestern Mekelle affected soil fertility and the shape and yields of three frequently grown crops: wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), and teff (Eragrostis tef.). Three top bulky soil samples were taken from three locations: 500 metres (Site-1), 1000 metres (Site-2) and 1500 metres (Site-3) from the western side of a cement industry, where dust is mostly blown by the wind. A fourth control soil sample was taken 6 kilometres distant from the facility in an undamaged region. The soil samples were utilised in a pot experiment at Mekelle University, which took place in a glasshouse. yield and morphological Standard scales were used to measure shoot, root, and spike lengths, as well as leaf area. AAS and UV spectroscopy were used to determine the concentration of main metals: Ca, K, Na, Mg, Mn, and trace elements: Cd, Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cr, and Fe in soil and plant parts, respectively. When compared to the control site, the results demonstrated that dust emissions had a significant impact in raising the trace metals content in the soil and, as a result, the trace metals concentration of crop components. Both clinker feed and clinker, which make up the majority of cement industry dust, had higher Pb, Cu, and Cr levels. With the exception of Cr, the concentrations of the other trace elements (Pb, Cu, and Zn) were lower. Please see the link :- https://www.ikprress.org/index.php/JOGAE/article/view/322

A study was done during the summer 2013 at Nursery in Isfahan, Iran. The native cultivar of sweet cherries (White and Black) was used as Scion and Mahaleb seedling were used as rootstock. The treatments consisted of three budding methods (T-budding, T with wood budding and Chip budding) at three different height (10-12, 20- 25 and 30-35 cm) above ground. The experiment was laid out in a split plot- randomized complete block design with three replications. Bud take rate, bud sprouting rate, bud shoot diameter and bud shoot length were determined as experimental parameters after budding. All budding methods were found to be suitable for sweet cherry propagation. However, the highest mean percent of bud take and sprouting rate were obtained from Black sweet cherry scion with T-budding with wood performed at 10-12cm above ground. The highest mean shoot diameter were obtained in both scions with chip budding at 20-25 cm above ground and the highest shoot length were obtained from Black sweet cherry scion with T-budding with wood performed at 10-12 cm above ground. Beside of these findings, we suggest to all gardener and graftman in order to produce and propagate the sweet cherry with use of Mahaleb rootstock, use the Black sweet cherry (cultivar Ghaheri) as scion with T with wood budding at 10-20 or 20-25 cm height.
