Phosphorus is an essential plant macronutrient which profoundly affects the yield and quality of wheat starch. In this study, scanning electron microscopy showed that P fertilizer amount (0, 46, and 92 kg P ha-1) had no significant effect on the shape of starch granules in wheat (cv. Xindong 20) grain. However, confocal laser scanning microscopy with 3-(4-carboxybenzoyl) quinoline-2-carboxaldeh...

the peak spring and autumn production periods for coolseason forages in the eastern Great Plains (Mitchell et Two big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii Vitman) strains (Pawnee al., 1994; Moser and Vogel, 1995). Krueger and Curtis C3 and Kaw C3) developed by three breeding cycles for increased forage yield and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) were com(1979) in South Dakota reported monocult...

This field experiment was carried out during Zaid season 2022 at experimental of Crop Research Farm, Department Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology& Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. The soil plot sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral reaction (pH7.3), low organic carbon (0.48%), available nitrogen (230 kg/ha), phosphorus (13....

loaded and a portion of the nitrate is absorbed by the blood stream as nitrate and nitrite. Some of the nitrate Nitrate contained in forage may pose performance and health risks that is absorbed recycles back to the rumen through to ruminants. With timely and accurate assessment of forage nitrate levels, steps to reduce the risks of excessive nitrate intake by livestock saliva thereby adding ag...

Plains bluestem ( Bothriochloa ischaemum L.) is one of the primary grass species used for pastureland in Oklahoma. Plains bluestem is popular due to its high forage and beef production potential. It is also used for soil conservation on highly erodible areas. Despite the current importance of this species, N fertilizer sources, rates, and timing have not been thoroughly evaluated. The objective...

Optimal nutrient management is critical for optimizing flowering, yield, quality and improving soil health. A key approach making chrysanthemum crop cultivation profitable balanced fertigation at the right time. This possible by through drip. The present study was designed in 2019–2021 a model floriculture center, Pantnagar, to investigate response of split application NPK drip on flowering att...

The experiment was undertaken during Kharif season of 2019, 2020 and 2021 at Regional Research Station, S. D. Agricultural University, Kothara (Gujarat). treatments comprised three levels nitrogen (N1: 10 kg N/ha, N2: 20 N/ha N3: 30 N/ha) phosphorus (P1: 0, P2: 20, P3: 40 P2O5/ha) laid out in a factorial randomized block design with replications. Effect different on Marvel green forage yield fo...

Cattle and sheep grazed together and separately from April to October during 3 yr. Initial forage composition was 29% Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), 11% white clover (Trifolium repens L.), and 60% weeds. There were six Angus cow-calf pairs or six ewes (1/2 Dorset x 1/4 Finn x 1/4 Rambouillet) with 11 lambs per each of three pasture replications for single animal species. Six cow-calf pa...

Water shortage is the primary limiting factor for crop production and long-term agricultural sustainability of the North China Plain. Forage cultivation emerged recently in this region. A fiver-year field experiment studies were conducted at Yucheng Integrated Experiment Station to quantify the water requirement and water use efficiency of seven forage varieties under climate variability, that ...

Effects of land-use management on agricultural sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions are major issues for researchers, regional councils and farmers in New Zealand. This study was undertaken to investigate the environmental impact of land-use management on field-CO2 emissions in Ohakea silt loam soil (Typic andoaqualf) that had been converted from permanent pasture to forage cropping for ...
