The study was conducted to test the impact of accountability on access to land information for ethnic minorities. The research model of the article is a linear structural equation model (SEM). The partial least squares (PLS) method was used to test the SEM model with 372 survey samples of households and individuals of the Cham, Bana, and H're ethnic minorities in Binh Dinh province, Vietnam. Research results show that accountability is vital in promoting and improving the effectiveness of ethnic minorities' access to land information. Accountability is considered a mechanism to monitor managers' behavior and ensure land users' rights and interests...

This study aims to determine the differences in abundance, richness, diversity, evenness, and dominance of insects on ground cover plants and to visually analyse their visiting patterns in organic orchard with bee hives and without bee hives (Apis mellifera) in Batu City, Indonesia. Total visiting insects was 733 individuals from 21 plant species. The most visited plants was Synedrella nodiflora visited by pests, predators pollinators, and detrivors, this shows a picture of close interaction between the two in forming a food web. The abundance and diversity of pollinating insects in orchard with bee hives (62.50) was higher than the abundance and diversity...

Acta Univ. Agric. Silvic. Mendelianae Brun. 2024, 72(5-6), 165-176 | DOI: 10.11118/actaun.2024.011
The need for developing new models of modern crop rotations is justified by the current conditions of agricultural and economic development. Research conducted in the conditions of the Northern Steppe of Ukraine confirmed the impact of crop rotation factors and fertilization on the yield, product quality, and economic efficiency of winter wheat cultivation. It was established that growing winter wheat in a grain-fallow-arable crop rotation model with 20 % soybean saturation contributed to achieving a higher yield level, with a difference compared to the grain-arable crop rotation model with 40 % soybean saturation - 0.59 t ha-1...

This study focused on monitoring ˈCa. P. prunorumˈ detection rate and titer over the course of the year in one-year-old (January-May) or annual shoots (June-December) of apricot trees. As an experimental material, 3 apricot selections (H990/95, H990/177 and H980/74) each represented by 3 trees of the same age grown in the same orchard were selected and analysed monthly. The real- time PCR assay was used for absolute quantification of ˈCa. P. prunorumˈ. The results showed, that phytoplasma was detectable in high rates (above 90 %) from August until December in annual shoots and from January to March and in May in one-year-old shoots....
