Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is crucial for global food security and a staple crop in Ethiopia, yet farmer yields remain low, averaging 2.7 t ha⁻1 compared to over 5 at research stations. This study investigates the impact of socio-economic factors, local agronomic practices, site-specific fertilizer management on wheat production Goba, Lemu, Siyadebr, Basona districts Ethiopia. A survey 228 households analyzed influence these factors productivity use, employing descriptive statistics, t-tests, regression models. Results indicated that residue retention, improved varieties, organic fertilizers significantly increased yields, while row application planting had negative effect. Fertilizer rates varied among farmers were influenced by practices like top-dressing, monocropping, participation agricultural training. District-level differences yield response highlighted need management. Multiple analysis revealed key predictors use included cultivated land area, household income, education, small ruminant ownership, extension contact, with larger higher access being most significant. Average increases due applications across districts. Overall, significant gains achieved through four districts, an average 5.3 Mg ha⁻1, approximately 4 using farmers' rates. underscores importance considering agroecological conditions boost support economic development

The Sundarbans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is crucial for biodiversity and the livelihoods of millions. To promote environmental sustainability in this unique mangrove ecosystem, focus on clean air water paramount. Addressing pollution from industrial discharges agricultural runoff essential to protect region's fragile ecology. Community awareness programs can educate locals about importance maintaining quality. Implementing eco-friendly practices, such as organic farming, reduce chemical pollutants. Collaboration with NGOs governmental bodies facilitate sustainable development initiatives stricter regulations waste disposal. Restoration projects mangroves also play vital role improving quality sequestering carbon. By prioritizing water, we ensure health Sundarbans future generations while supporting diverse wildlife that thrives remarkable habitat.
