Although sweet sorghum is in focus as a promising multi-purpose crop in semi-arid tropical regions, information on optimum nitrogen (N) management remains rather limited. To determine and understand the N dynamics in sweet sorghum-soil ecosystem, we evaluated the N recovery of applied fertilizer in the Alfisol field during the 2009 and 2010 rainy seasons. Sweet sorghum was grown under six N rat...

Cereal Chern. 79(6):779-782 The incidence of moniliformin (MON) producing Fusarium spp. in selected corn (Zea mays L.) samples from Mexico and the United States and the effects of alkaline cooking and the tortilla manufacturing processes on the reduction of MON were determined. The percentage of infected kernels with Fusarium spp. ranged from 0 to 22% in eight foOOgrade com samples, including s...

Benedenia disease caused by the ectoparasite Benedenia seriolae is a serious parasitic disease in yellowtail aquaculture, leading to secondary viral or bacterial infections. Benedenia disease is difficult to prevent in marine aquaculture systems. To evaluate the genetic basis of Benedenia disease resistance in yellowtail, a genome-wide and chromosome-wide linkage analysis was initiated using F1...

The objective of this study was to perform the comparative evaluation of efficiency of traditional McMaster chamber and the newly designed chamber for the enumeration of nematode eggs in different agriculture animals. Thirteen pig, two horse and two sheep farms were randomly selected, and 815 of pig faecal samples, 264 of horse and 264 of sheep faecal samples were examined. The positive samples...

Rabbit control organizations in England and Wales were studied between 1978 and 1982. A national survey of existing organizations showed that there were 2 types (societies and groups) and that they jointly covered only 2% of farmers and 1.5% of agricultural land. Three societies were studied for 3 years and were found to be underfunded and increasingly unable to provide coordinated control on a...

BACKGROUND The Great East Japan Earthquake on 11th March 2011 and the subsequent Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant disaster caused radioactive contamination in the surrounding environment. In the immediate aftermath of the accident the Government of Japan placed strict measures on radio-contamination of food, and enhanced radio-contamination monitoring activities. Japan is a pilot country ...
