Globally, Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (Malvaceae), commonly known as roselle or hibiscus, is a multipurpose vegetable crop. In Malawi, where it is referred to as ‘Chidede’ (Chichewa), it is recognized as an underutilized traditional plant with significant potential. Traditional vegetable production in Malawi is being promoted to enhance nutritional food security and climate change mitigation. Recently, biochar has become increasingly used to improve agricultural productivity through climate-smart technologies. To date, the influence of rice husk biochar (RHB) on H. sabdariffa remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the effects of RHB on the vegetative growth, response to water stress, and post-stress recovery of H. sabdariffa using a greenhouse pot experiment. Our findings indicate that biochar-amended soil enhanced plant height, stem thickness, and total leaf area by 16.5%, 12.0%, and 12.9%, respectively. Water stress significantly reduced all assessed growth parameters (p < 0.05) except total leaf area and average leaf area per plant. Under water stress conditions, biochar-treated plants were significantly taller (p < 0.05) and had a higher specific leaf area (p < 0.05), demonstrating a positive effect. A post-stress recovery analysis revealed that H. sabdariffa fully recovered in height and biomass, while partial recovery was observed for root collar diameter and compensatory recovery for total leaf area and average leaf area. Biochar-treated plants exhibited superior post-stress recovery compared to those grown in unamended soil. Overall, plants grown with biochar were taller and had a larger root collar diameter, higher stem and leaf fresh biomass, and greater total leaf area. These findings underscore biochar’s potential as a sustainable soil amendment for enhancing growth and resilience in underutilized crops. Further studies should explore field experiments to access environmental heterogeneity and examine the diverse factors influencing biochar efficiency.

To date, spices remain comparatively the least produced and utilised of all crops in Malawi irrespective of their nutraceutical importance. Onions (Allium sp.) and peppers (Capsicum sp.) are Malawi's main spices, and to a lesser extent ginger (Zingiber officinale) and garlic (Allium sativum); they are commonly used in cooking and as medicine. Recently, “new” spices, with high nutraceutical values documented in other countries, are emerging on Malawi's local markets. This points to an increasing pool of spice crops whose diversity and comparative utilisation dynamics remain poorly understood. This study aimed firstly to determine spice species diversity, secondly to determine the context of utilisation (culinary and medicinal) and finally to trace scientific validation of the bioactivity for spices ‘reported’ to be used in treating various ailments. The main intention was to expose the potential of spice crops in improving household and community diets and health. Data was collected from interviews with spice traders and customers/consumers. In this study 33 spice species belonging to 29 genera and 14 families were found in markets. Twenty species had a reported medicinal purpose, of which 80% had scientific validation from experiments on humans (55%) and animals (25%). Common ailments managed by spice usage in Malawi include diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and immunity boosting, all identified as emerging health concerns in the country. In Malawi, 80% of the population is reliant on plant-based medicines. Deliberate promotion of spice consumption and production is a pivotal pathway to diversifying plant-based medicine resources along with increasing agrobiodiversity and the associated dietary diversity. Coordination among health, nutrition, and agriculture experts and policymakers will be key in unlocking the potential that spice crops hold for Malawi.

Precise LULC classification of rural area combining elevational and reflectance characteristics using UAV International coauthorship
Ke Zhang, Lameck Fiwa, Madoka Kurata, Hiromu Okazawa, Kenford A.B. Luweya, Mohammad Shamim Hasan Mandal, Toru Sakai

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：ELSEVIER
With the development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in the recent decade, very high-
resolution aerial imagery has been used for precise land use/land cover classification (LULC).
However, special structures in rural areas of developing countries such as traditional thatched
houses have posed challenges for precise LULC classification due to their undistinctive appearance
and confusable characteristics in both reflectance and structure. LULC mapping is essential
particularly in rural areas which have high data scarcity and vulnerability to natural disasters.
With high-resolution observation has been achieved by UAVs, it is important to propose high-
precision LULC classification methods which can fully use the advantages of UAVs. To emphasize
the differences among the common LULC types in rural areas, this study proposed an original
index, the rural residence classification index (RCI). RCI was calculated as the product of the
above ground height and the square of the difference between the NDVI value and one. Then, a
comprehensive classification method was established by combining the RCI, the traditional
threshold method and a machine learning method. As a result of the comparison with the
traditional threshold method, object-based image analysis, and random forest methods, the
method by this study achieved the highest overall accuracy (overall accuracy =0.903, kappa =
0.875) and classification accuracy for detecting thatched houses (user’s accuracy =0.802, producer’s
accuracy =0.920). These findings showed the possibility on identifying the confusable
structures in rural areas using remote sensing data, which was found difficult by the previous
studies so far. The method by this study can promote the further utility of UAVs in LULC classification
in rural areas in developing countries, thereby providing precise and reliable material
for hydrological, hydraulic or ecosystem modelling, which eventually contributes to more accurate
natural hazard risk assessment, rural development, and natural resource management.DOI： https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sciaf.2024.e02431

Microgreens are innovative vegetable products whose production and consumption are gaining popularity globally thanks to their recognized nutraceutical properties. To date, the effects of lighting conditions and growing substrate on the performances of Brassica carinata microgreens (indigenous to Africa) remain underexplored. The present study aimed at providing insights into the influence of different lighting treatments provided by LEDs, namely monochromatic blue (B), red (R), cool white (W) and a combination of three color diodes (B + R + W), and substrates (cocopeat, sand and cocopeat–sand mix (v/v) (1:1)) on the growth, yield and bioactive compounds of B. carinata microgreens. Seeds were germinated in dark chambers and cultivated in growth chambers equipped with LED lighting systems for 14 days under a fixed light intensity of 160 ± 2.5 µmol m−2 s−1 and photoperiod of 12 h d−1. The best performances were associated with the spectrum that combined B + R + W LEDs and with substrate resulting from the cocopeat–sand mix, including the highest yield (19.19 g plant−1), plant height (9.94 cm), leaf area (68.11 mm2) and canopy cover (55.9%). Enhanced carotenoid and flavonoid contents were obtained with B + R + W LEDs, while the B LED increased the total amount of chlorophyll (11,880 mg kg−1). For plants grown under B + R + W LEDs in cocopeat, high nitrate levels were observed. Our results demonstrate that substrate and light environment interact to influence the growth, yield and concentration of bioactive compounds of B. carinata microgreens.

Insights into the journey towards development of dietary guidelines: An exploration of synergy between fruit and vegetable research with food composition tables in Malawi "jointly worked" Reviewed International coauthorship
Dickson Mgangathweni Mazibuko, Victoria Ndolo, Satoko Akiyama, Hiromu Okazawa
African Journal of Food Science 17 ( 2 ) 256 - 267 2023.12
Authorship：Corresponding author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Academic Journals
Publication of the Malawi Food Composition Database (MFCDB) is a milestone towards improving the nutritional status and overall health of citizens. Following the establishment of this database, the next step involves formulating food-based dietary guidelines tailored for Malawi. However, both the database and the planned dietary guidelines are dependent on robust research on food composition. This analytical review utilizes fruit and vegetable research done in Malawi, to analyze synergies with the published food composition tables and limitations. Results point to inadequate fruit and vegetable nutrition research in Malawi. Less than 1% of published vegetable research has dealt with nutrient composition. Of this, only 15% has contributed to the food composition database, forcing 52 and 39% of entries (values) for fruits and vegetables, respectively to be borrowed. However, more research on fruit and vegetable species has been done than is captured in the database. There exists dissonance in analytical methods between research and database needs. This lack of methodology impacts overall data comparability and reliability. It is suggested that the Malawian Food Data System, provide standardized methods of analysis for various food composition parameters, priority list of species, and nutrient profiles of immediate national relevance. The planned dietary guidelines will require a multisectoral approach, and policy modifications to facilitate fit-for-purpose research in fruits and vegetables.
