The basis premise of many radiological assessments is the assumption that the transfer of many radionuclides from soil to herbage and hence animal derived food products is a positive linear relationship for a given set of ecological conditions. However, a number of authors have published results, which they conclude demonstrate non-linear transfer of radiocaesium to plants and animals with tran...

Dioscorea species is a very important food and drug plant. The tubers of the plant are extensively used in food and drug purposes owing to the presence of steroidal constituent's diosgenin in the tubers. In the present study, we report for the first time that the leaves of Dioscorea composita and Dioscorea floribunda grown under the field conditions exhibited the presence of multicellular oil g...

The aim of current study was to determine intercropping forage turnip “FT” with cereals “C” (barley, “B”, wheat “W” and oat “O”) for herbage yield competitive ratios in Bilecik conditions 2019-2002 2020-2021 growing periods. Plants were sown as sole 3 different mixtures (75FT+25C%, 50FT+50C% 25FT+75C %). Experiments arranged a randomized complete block design three replications. In the study, y...

The movement of faecal pathogens from land to surface and ground-water are of great interest because of the public and livestock health implications. Knowledge of canopy structure and how it might be managed to help mitigate nutrient and pathogen movement in pasture is needed to create management practices that balance livestock production with environmental benefits. An experiment was conducte...
