Common bean residue as additive in sugarcane silage

The potential of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) residue silage as a forage source in Mohabadi dairy goats

This study was conducted to determine the chemical composition and nutritive value of sunflower residues silage (SRS) and effects of its substitution with alfalfa hay and corn silage on lactation performance, feed intake, nutrient digestibility and some blood parameters of Mohabadi dairy goats. Four experimental diets were formulated to gradually replace alfalfa hay and corn silage with SRS as ...

Microbial decomposition of post-harvest sugarcane residue.

A laboratory in situ composting study was conducted as a possible alternative method for the current practice of open air burning of post-harvest sugarcane residue by sugarcane farmers. In situ composting of the sugarcane residue by the indigenous bacteria and fungi was accelerated using molasses as an initial substrate. A one-time application of molasses boosted the soil microbial population. ...

Michaels, T. E., Smith, T. H., Larsen, J., Beattie, A. D. and Pauls, K. P. 2006. OAC Rex common bean. Can. J. Plant Sci. 86: 733–736. OAC Rex is an upright indeterminate bush white bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar intended for use in areas with greater than 2800 crop heat units. It has good yield potential in either wide or narrow row production. It is resistant to races 1 and 15 of bean c...

Sugarcane Postharvest Residue Management in a Temperate Climate

Full retention of sugarcane (interspecifi c hybrids of Saccharum spp.) postharvest residue may reduce ratoon crop yields. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different residue removal timings and methods on sugarcane yield. A two-factor (timing and method) experiment was conducted on both clay and silt loam soils in southeastern Louisiana. Removal timings consisted of th...
