The research consists a four-stage field conducted Regency: (1) organization units; (2) determination observation points through stratified proportional sampling each unit; (3) surveys; (4) laboratory analysis. evaluation was accordance with ...

Background: Making silage added with additives can improve the quality of nutrition and speed up fermentation process. Molasses are widely used by farmers as for making silage. The use molasses be replaced Fermented Mother Liquor (FML) in Purpose: to determine effect addition on physical chemical corn plant given (FML). Method: Observative data collection direct observations two treatments cons...

Intercropping of agricultural crops with woody species is an age-old practice in traditional farming systems in the tropics. Food production is the major aim of subsistence farmers with most of their farmland being allocated to food crops rather than to trees and shrubs. Due to increasing population and scarcity of productive lands that cannot sustain intensive exploitation, one method that has...

High air temperatures during the crop growing season can reduce harvestable yields in major agronomic crops worldwide. Repeated and prolonged high night air temperature stress may compromise plant growth and yield. Crop varieties with improved heat tolerance traits as well as crop management strategies at the farm scale are thus needed for climate change mitigation. Crop yield is especially sen...

Paddinging Village is located in Sanrobone District, Takalar Regency. The economy of the people this village generally based on agriculture, especially growing corn. Corn a commodity needed by society and has good business value. This PKM activity was carried out Village, Regency, target audience Assamaturu Farmer Group. main problem faced that does not have an understanding science technology ...

A general theory is developed to analyze the efficiency and income distribution effects of a biofuel consumer tax credit and the interaction effects with a price contingent farm subsidy. Using the U.S. ethanol market as a stylized example, ethanol prices rise above the gasoline price by the amount of the tax credit. Corn farmers therefore gain directly while gasoline consumers only gain from an...

Ustilago maydis (Ustilaginaceae) has, perhaps, the unique distinction of being the causal organism of a highly prized edible delicacy and much reviled disease. The fungus causes common corn smut, a disease which can result in economic losses wherever maize (Zea mays L., Poaceae) is grown (Smith and White 1988). Common smut is especially a problem in processing sweet corn, where the galls and sp...

Genetically engineered (GE) insect-resistant crops that express proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have been widely adopted in the two field crops currently commercially available, Bt cotton and Bt corn. However, the development and commercialization of Bt vegetables has lagged in comparison, which is unfortunate since vegetables tend to be insecticide-intensive crops due to high pest pr...

Understanding ecophysiological characteristics of corn (Zea mays L.) under winter cover crops (WCCs) can improve management and farmers’ acceptance by increasing the positive effects and decreasing the negative effects associated with their use. This study was conducted to quantify the effects of WCC on corn development, growth, and yield through the evaluation of ecophysiological characteristi...

Pinrang Regency is one of the centers for development Hybrid Corn (Zea mays L) which spread in several sub-districts, including Batulappa District, as BPS listed largest shelled corn producing area Regency. production 2016-2018 continued to increase successively, were 2018 it was able produce 56,185 tons. The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on sectors, agricultural sector. This study aims a...
