Partial Solar Eclipse — September 21, 2025 ✨🌑

On September 21, 2025, the skies will host a spectacular Partial Solar Eclipse. During this event, the Moon will slide in front of the Sun, covering part of its bright face and leaving behind a glowing golden crescent. Unlike a total eclipse, where the Sun is completely hidden, a partial eclipse lets us see the Sun reshaped into a striking arc — a sight that feels both otherworldly and magical. 🌌

🌍 Where It Will Be Visible
This eclipse will be observable across a wide stretch of the planet. Skywatchers in the USA, South America, Europe, and Africa will all have a chance to witness it, though the exact appearance will vary depending on location. Some regions will see just a small shadow at the edge of the Sun, while others will enjoy a dramatic, deep crescent cutting into the solar disk.

🦜 Nature’s Pause
Eclipses don’t just affect human observers — animals often react, too. Birds may fall silent, insects might grow restless, and even rainforest creatures, like the rare kakapo parrot of New Zealand, can sense the sudden change in light. It is as if the entire natural world takes a breath when the Sun dims. 🌳✨

⚠️ Safety Reminder
It’s crucial to remember that even during a partial eclipse, looking directly at the Sun is dangerous. The sunlight is still powerful enough to damage your eyes. Always use certified eclipse glasses or proper solar filters if you plan to observe. Ordinary sunglasses are not safe. If you don’t have filters, you can still enjoy the eclipse through indirect viewing methods, such as a pinhole projector.

🌌 Why It Matters
Solar eclipses are a reminder of the cosmic clockwork of our universe — the perfect alignment of Sun, Moon, and Earth. They inspire awe, curiosity, and bring people together to look up at the sky. For scientists, these events also provide opportunities to study the Sun’s corona and atmospheric effects.

- Break disease and pest cycles
- Improve soil fertility
- Enhance soil structure
- Increase crop yields

3. Organic Amendments
- Add organic matter like:
- Compost
- Manure
- Green manure
- Mulch
- to improve soil fertility, structure, and biodiversity

4. Conservation Tillage
- Reduce tillage to:
- Minimize soil disturbance
- Preserve soil organic matter
- Enhance soil biota
- Reduce erosion

5. Agroforestry
- Integrate trees into agricultural landscapes to:
- Enhance soil fertility
- Improve soil structure
- Increase biodiversity
- Provide shade and shelter

6. Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
- Use a holistic approach to manage pests and diseases, reducing the need for chemical pesticides and maintaining soil health.

7. Soil Testing and Analysis
- Regularly test soil to:
- Determine nutrient levels
- Identify pH imbalances
- Detect contaminants
- Inform management decisions

8. Reduced Chemical Use
- Minimize or eliminate the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides to:
- Reduce soil pollution
- Protect soil biota
- Promote ecosystem services

9. Grazing Management
- Implement rotational grazing and other sustainable grazing practices to:
- Improve soil health
- Increase pasture productivity
- Enhance biodiversity

10. Education and Extension Services
- Provide training and support for farmers and land managers to:
- Adopt regenerative practices
- Improve soil health
- Enhance ecosystem services

By implementing these strategies, we can

ከዚሁ ጋር በተያያዘ የደቡብ ምዕራብ፣ምዕራብና ሰሜን ምዕራብ የሀገራችን አካባቢዎች ከመካከለኛ እስከ ከባድ መጠን ዝናብ እንደሚኖር አመላክቷል።

በምስራቅ፣ሰሜን ምስራቅ እና መካከለኛው የሀገሪቱ ክፍሎች ላይ የተሻለ የዝናብ መጠንና ሥርጭት እንደሚኖርም እንዲሁ።

በሌላ በኩል በሰሜን ምስራቅ፤ መካከለኛው እና ምዕራብ የሀገራችን አካባቢዎች ላይ አልፎ አልፎ ከሚጠናከሩ የአየር ሁኔታ ክስተቶች በመነሳት ቅጽበታዊ ጎርፍ ሊያስከትል የሚችል ከባድ መጠን ያለው ዝናብ እንደሚኖር ጠቁሟል።

የሚኖረው የዝናብ መጠን ለወቅቱ የግብርና ስራ እንቅሥቃሴ በአመዛኙ አዎንታዊ ሚና እንዳለው በማንሳት፤ የሚኖሩትን መልካም አጋጣሚዎች ለመጠቀም እና ስጋቶችን ለመቀነስ መስራት እንደሚገባም ገልጿል።

በሚኖረው የአየር ሁኔታ በአብዛኛው ተፋሰሶች ላይ ከመጠነኛ እስከ ከፍተኛ መጠን ያለው የገፀ ምድር የውሃ ፍሰት እንደሚኖር ኢንስቲትዩቱ በትንበያው ጠቅሷል።

አልፎ አልፎ ከሚኖር ከባድ ዝናብ ጋር ተያይዞ ለጎርፍ ተጋላጭ በሆኑ ተፋሰሶች፣ የከተማም ሆነ የገጠር አካባቢዎች ላይ ቅጽበታዊ ጎርፍ፣ የወንዞች ከፍታ መጨመር ሊያስከትል እንደሚችልም አስጠንቅቋል።

በመሆኑም የሚመለከታቸው የዘርፉ አካላት ሊኖር የሚችለውን አደጋ ለመቀነስ የጎርፍ መቀልበሻ ቦዮችን ማዘጋጀትና የማፅዳት ስራ መስራት እንዳለባቸው አጽንኦት ሰጥቷል።

In Africa and the Middle East, the potato is a key food security crop, supporting millions of families. In Kenya, it’s the second most important crop after maize, benefiting 800,000 farmers and 2.5 million people. With a short growing cycle, potatoes are harvested twice a year in some regions, helping feed communities quickly.

However, pests and diseases like late blight, nematodes, and bacterial wilt pose major threats, causing significant yield losses.

Corteva Agriscience’s Zorvec™ fungicide is designed to protect potatoes from these dangers. Zorvec offers powerful control against late blight, rainfast protection, and up to 10 days of defense, ensuring healthier, more abundant harvests.

On this International Potato Day, we celebrate the resilience of potato farmers and the innovations that help safeguard their crops.
