Three methods were evaluated for the determination of apparent ileal digestibility values of amino acids in feedstuffs with a low protein (barley, 10.2% CP) and a high protein content (canola meal, 38.2% CP). Five barrows, average initial BW 40 kg, were fitted with a simple T-cannula at the distal ileum and fed five diets according to a 5 x 5 Latin square design. Diet 1 contained 42.7% canola m...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) is an important oilseed crop. A serious problem in cultivation of this crop andyield loss, are due to fungal disease stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The pathogenesis-related(PR) proteins have the potential for enhancing resistance against fungal pathogen. Thaumatin-like proteins(TLPs) have been shown to have antifungal activity on variou...

Cover crops can improve soil health by maintaining organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (N) contents, yet their dynamics in relation to crop yield a semi-arid cropping system are poorly understood. The main objective of this study was evaluate the response diverse winter cover species mixture on SOC N fractions relationship with sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–sorg...

In this study, two different vegetable based cutting fluids developed from refined canola and sunflower oil and a commercial type semi-synthetic cutting fluid were carried out to determine optimum conditions for tool wear and forces during milling of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel. Taguchi L9 (3) orthogonal array was used for the experiment plan. Cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and ...

abstract to evaluate the effects of the irrigation termination in different growth stages on yield and its components of autumn’s canola cultivars in isfahan region. an experiment was conducted in 2005-2006 in kabotar abad research station. a split plot layout within a randomized complete block design with tree replication was used. main plots were seven level of the irrigation cut-off time (d1...

ABSTRACT Eight different 3-year cropping systems, consisting of soybean-canola, soybean-barley, sweet corn-canola, sweet corn-soybean, green bean-sweet corn, canola-sweet corn, barley-clover, and continuous potato (non-rotation control) followed by potato as the third crop in all systems, were established in replicated field plots with two rotation entry points in Presque Isle, ME, in 1998. Cro...

This study identifies and analyzes factors influencing canola plantation development in Tabriz and Marand Counties. The Censored Model was used to analyze cross-sectional data collected from 372 farmers using a questionnaire. Due to the weakness of the Tobit Model in separating factors affecting the adoption decision of farmers and factors affecting the rate of adoption, the Heckman Model was e...

eggs l A preliminary study showed that maximum enrichment of egg lipid with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) had not occurred after about 5 days on dietary oil regimens. When cod liver oil, canola oil or linseed oil was added at 7% to layer diets for 12 weeks, production parameters were usually better than on the commercial layer diet; e g g w e i g h t was normally higher on the oi...

Antagonistic Pseudomonas spp. (DF-41 and PA-23) were evaluated for inhibition of germination of ascospores, and for the effect of timing of application and its effect on biological control of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, causal agent of stem rot of canola. Population dynamics were also assessed. In all studies, a petal inoculation technique was used. Significant inhibition (P < 0.05...
