Oat is used for food, in animal feeding and non-food products. Twenty-five oat genotypes were evaluated at six different environments to determine high-yielding, good-quality stable genotypes. Experiments conducted randomized blocks design with 4 replications. Grain yield, plant height, test weight, thousand-grain screening percentage, groat protein, ?-glucan starch contents 25 Genotype, enviro...

the trial randomized complete block design with four replications in summer 1394 in a farm located in the share ray to study the effects of different methods of weed control on the yield and quality of forage maize varieties (sc.704) was performed. the experiment consisted of black plastic mulch, black plastic mulch silver, vetch cover crop with a density of 100 per cent, with 50 per cent vetch...

OBJECTIVES To test whether individual differences in gratitude are related to sleep after controlling for neuroticism and other traits. To test whether pre-sleep cognitions are the mechanism underlying this relationship. METHOD A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted with a large (186 males, 215 females) community sample (ages=18-68 years, mean=24.89, S.D.=9.02), including 161 peo...

Bulk tank somatic cell count (BTSCC) is a gold standard test for identification of milk quality, but its results are influenced by several interventional factors. Recently, application of acute phase proteins and especially milk amyloid A (MMA) has been considered as accurate parameters for milk quality study. The current research was done to evaluate the accuracy of MMA, BTSCC, fat, protein an...

Coarse grains are important group of crops that constitutes staple food for large population residing primarily in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Coarse grains are designated as nutri-cereals as they are rich in essential amino acids, minerals and vitamins. In spite of having several nutritional virtues in coarse grain as mentioned above, there is still scope for improvement in qu...

Electrical properties are the least known and described among physical of food products. The most widespread practical directions their use include moisture measurements as well dielectric microwave heating. Less frequently, they used to assess physicochemical parameters products, including technological features cereal grains. Earlier research by authors this paper demonstrated possibility usi...

The aim of this paper was to present results from two long term field experiments comparing potato samples from conventional farming systems with samples from biodynamic farming systems. The principal component analyses (PCA), consistently exhibited differences between potato samples from the two farming systems. According to the PCA, potato samples treated with inorganic fertilizers exhibited ...
