The problems of low soil fertility resulting from continuous monocropping, crop residue removal and limited fertilizer use represent key challenges to produce surplus food for the ever increasing population of Ethiopia. However, the practices of crop rotation and integrated sources of fertilizer uses could potentially improve soil fertility and productivity. In 2012 and 2014, soybean with diffe...

During storage, soybean kernels can be attacked by insects, which are preventively controlled with insecticides. Information on the dissipation of insecticide residues is crucial to know their final concentrations in food and establish waiting periods necessary for consumption without health risks, determine minimum period comply national international standards. The aims this study were quanti...

The conventional non-basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.) is neither economical nor sustainable in IGP. Therefore, an on-farm study was carried out at the farmer’s field Karnal district of Haryana to find alternative by diversified crops having legume (summer mungbean) with best tillage and residue management practices. intensification through conservation agriculture (CA)-based crop within RW system...

Soybean has good nutritional and functional properties, which are essential for human physiology. Okara, a residue from soybean processing industries distinct profile of nutrients phytochemicals. Therefore, the current study was planned to investigate importance okara. In first phase this study, okara isolated characterized in terms protein, fat, ash, soluble dietary fiber, insoluble fiber. Fur...

cis-9,10-epoxystearic acid was used as a tool to probe the active sites of epoxide hydrolases (EHs) of mammalian and plant origin. We have compared the stereochemical features of the hydrolysis of this substrate catalysed by soluble and membrane-bound rat liver EHs, by soluble EH (purified to apparent homogeneity) obtained from maize seedlings or celeriac roots, and by recombinant soybean EH ex...

Increasing atmospheric CO(2) concentration has led to concerns about potential effects on production agriculture. In the fall of 1997, a study was initiated to compare the response of two crop management systems (conventional tillage and no-tillage) to elevated CO(2). The study used a split-plot design replicated three times with two management systems as main plots and two atmospheric CO(2) le...

Corn, wheat, and soybean meal (SBM) have been primarily used as feedstuffs in animal feeding programs. However, it is necessary to explore evaluate alternative deal with variable costs the supply of these conventional feedstuffs. This study determined nutrient composition macadamia nut cake (MNC) its effect on growth performance broiler chickens fed at graded levels. A total 180 d-old chicks we...

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from crop residue management have been studied extensively, yet the effects of harvesting more than one in a rotation not reported. Here, we measured short-term changes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2) response to removal continuous corn (Zea mays L.) (CC) corn–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) (CWS) rotations ...
