The objective of this study was to determine how harvest maturity of whole-crop cereals commonly used in swath grazing systems in western Canada affects yield, chemical composition, and in situ digestibility. We hypothesized that the increase in yield with advancing maturity would not offset the decline in digestibility and, thus, the yield of effectively degradable DM (EDDM) would decline with...

Waxy mutants, in which endosperm starch contains ~100% amylopectin rather than the wild-type composition of ~70% amylopectin and ~30% amylose, occur in many domesticated cereals. The cultivation of waxy varieties is concentrated in east Asia, where there is a culinary preference for glutinous-textured foods that may have developed from ancient food processing traditions. The waxy phenotype resu...

L.) are now grown with winter wheat and fallow. Integrating crop diversity with other cultural tactics enabled No-till systems have enabled producers to change crop rotations in producers to effectively control weeds with 50% less the semiarid Central Great Plains. Previously, winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–fallow was the prevalent rotation; now producers grow herbicide inputs compared wit...

Selama masa pandemi COVID-19, tak jarang kita menyaksikan tampilnya karakteristik suka menolong pada manusia. Dalam komunitas luring mau-pun daring, berbagai aktivitas memberikan bantuan dan ajakan untuk ditam-pilkan, mulai dari donasi, membagi bahan-bahan makanan pokok, melibatkan diri dalam satuan tugas membantu para penderita hingga menjadi sukarelawan di rumah sakit. Ini menggugah peneliti ...

The world is dealing with both agrarian and nutritional issues. We must concentrate on dry lands in order to further increase grain production because agricultural irrigation facilities have been fully utilised. It difficult use produce enough high-quality grains of their low fertility. Millets, a crop that complies climate change regulations, outperform other like wheat rice terms poor growing...

pis africana (Mimosaceae) is widely used in the northern part of Nigeria for the treatment and management of asthma. Preliminary investigations of its pharmacological activities justify its use in folk medicine (1). Urgent need for the development of systems and methods for standardization of traditional medicine has led to the formulation of the extract into tablets using the wet granulation m...

stalks. Similar results were reported by Bhardwaj et al. (1996) for kenaf consumption by goats (Capra hicus). A broadleaf forage crop grown in rotation with winter wheat (TritiUnger (2001) in the Texas Panhandle (average annual cum aestivum L.) would diversify dryland crop rotations in the central Great Plains. Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) provides good quality precipitation 475 mm; average J...
