The objective of this work was to determine the drying kinetics and thermodynamic properties process germinated seeds from faba beans Olho-de-Vó Preta (OVP), Raio-de-Sol (RS) Branca (B) varieties. Additionally, physicochemical subsequent dried flours were determined. A thin layer using a convective dryer at temperatures 50, 60, 70 80 °C. Mathematical models applied experimental data. samples fu...

Sewage sludge is an effective fertilizer in many soil types. When applied as amendment, introduces, addition to organic matter, plant nutrients into the soil. for cropland a fertilizer, mass loading of sewage customarily determined by inputs N and/or P required support optimal growth and successful harvest. This study aims examine changes matter contents nitrogen forms sludge-amended soils, wel...

Four rumen and proximal duodenum fistulated non-lactating Holstein cows were used to determine the effect of extrusion at 120 degrees C of whole horse beans (Vicia faba cv Talo) on in vitro nitrogen (N) solubility and in situ degradation of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) in the rumen and intestine. Cows were fed a ration of 30% whole horse beans (WHB) and 70% Italian rye-grass hay. The ...

Abstract Context Pollinator declines and functional homogenization of farmland insect communities have been reported. Mass-flowering crops (MFC) can support pollinators by providing floral resources. Knowledge about how MFC with dissimilar flower morphology affect groups trait compositions wild bee is scarce. Objective We investigated two morphologically different MFC, land cover local semi-nat...
