introduction amaranth, genus amaranthus, belongs to the amaranthaceae family and includes more than 60 species (28). amaranth forage, is distinguished by high yield performance of up to 70 t/ha (30). plant maturity was found to affect neutral detergent fiber (ndf), acid detergent fiber (adf), lignin, cp and nitrate content of amaranth forage (27). several studies (21, 27, 29) have shown that the ...

Grain Amaranths are important nutritional vegetables in the world for their grains and leaves. Twelve grain Amaranth accessions were evaluated performances using randomized complete block design with 3 replications 2 years to measure variability group accessions. Analysis of Variance revealed significant among Amaranths. Phenotypic variances higher magnitude than genotypic variance all traits s...

Abstrak. Penghambatan yang disebabkan oleh gulma bisa mengganggu pertumbuhan serta perkembangan tanaman budidaya. Aplikasi herbisida kimia sintetik dalam waktu berkepanjangan cenderung menimbulkan efek negatif, sehingga perlu dicari cara aman bagi lingkungan dengan memanfaatkan senyawa turunan tumbuhan (alelokimia) sebagai bioherbisida. Babadotan adalah berpotensi Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan...

This paper draws upon in-depth interviews with 89 students from two UK universities to explore how Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) degrees describe the ideal as well typical student in their respective disciplines. We provide a comparative insight into similarities differences between disciplinary identities based on perceptions. More specifically, we consider undergradu...

Cereals are an important part of diets for hypercholesterolemic patients. However, some of these patients are allergic to these natural products. The purpose of the current study was to compare oatmeal with equal in nutritional values two allergy-free amaranth meals to determine whether this pseudocereal can be a substitute for allergic to cereals individuals. The total phenols of the samples w...

Grain Amaranth is a very versatile pseudo-cereal crop and grown in a wide range of agro-climatic conditions (temperature 20-40oC, elevation 500-2500m amsl and rainfall 800 mm to 1500 mm). The genus Amaranthus consists of approximately 60 species out of which about 18 species are occurring in India. There are three major grain producing Amaranthus species, A. caudatus, A. cruentus and A. hypocho...

When manures from intensive livestock operations are applied to agricultural or vegetable fields at a high rate, large amounts of salts and metals will be introduced into soils. Using a column leaching experiment, this study assessed the leaching potential of the downward movement of Cu and Zn as well as some salt ions after an intensive farm pig manure at rates of 0%, 5% and 10% (w/w) were app...

Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) are a group of rare cells located in the intestinal crypts which are responsible for the maintenance of the intestinal homeostasis and intestinal regeneration following injury or inflammation. Lineage tracing experiments in mice have proven that ISCs can repopulate the entire intestinal crypt. It is noteworthy that in such experiments, only a subset of intestinal cr...
