A complete diet (Total Mixed ration) with sorghum stover (40%) as sole roughage source was prepared and offered to animals under two forms: as mash or as expanded-extruded pellets (EEP). These two complete diets were compared with a conventional diet (ad libitum chopped sorghum stover fed separately with concentrate mixture to meet 80% of protein requirements). These three diets were randomly a...

BACKGROUND To reduce the environmental impacts of the aviation sector as air traffic grows steadily, the aviation industry has paid increasing attention to bio-based alternative jet fuels (AJFs), which may provide lower life-cycle petroleum consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than petroleum jet fuel. This study presents well-to-wake (WTWa) results for four emerging AJFs: ethanol-to-j...

Spring maize is an important crop to meet the growing demand for maize. Moisture stress yield limiting factor during dry spring period. Biochar and plastic mulch help in soil moisture conservation might contribute growth of A field experiment was conducted evaluate effects biochar application on growth, yield, attributing characteristics (Zea mays L.) a sandy loam at Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal 2018...

Perennial groundcover (PGC) merges scalable soil and water conservation with high-yielding row crops, enhancing ecosystem services of annual grain crop production. However, ineffective suppression increases competition between the crop, reducing yield. The objective this study was to assess effectiveness three Kentucky bluegrass (KBG) methods each at narrow wide widths on maize (Zea mays L.) gr...

The aim of the current investigation was to determine if maize had ability assimilate macronutrients under effect humic substance that enriched with micronutrients. A field experiment conducted 10 treatments replicated thrice using RCBD this in College Agriculture's V C Farm Mandya, Karnataka, India during Kharif 2017. findings showed treatment getting RDF + FYM @ t ha-1 together Enriched HS 5 ...

The research entitled the "Effect of different nitrogen levels on growth and yield spring maize" was conducted in agriculture farm Lovely Professional University, Phagwara. Three doses used at concentrations from lowest to highest. Nitrogen are denoted as N1, N2 N3 viz 80kgN2ha-1, 120 kg N2ha-1and 160 N2ha-1 respectively. All compared with each other for measurement morphological parameters lik...
