In this study, the nutritive values of treated Walnut hull by Neurospora sitophila were evaluated. The chemical composition of samples was evaluated by laboratory analysis.In vitrodigestibility experiment was done to determine digestibility coefficients of dry matter, organic matter and also digestible organic matter in dry matter (DOMD) to estimate the metabolizable energy (ME) content oftreat...

The oxygen isotope composition in leaf water and organic compounds in different plant tissues is useful for assessing the physiological performance of plants in their environment, but more information is needed on Delta(18)O variation during a diel course. Here, we assessed Delta(18)O of the organic matter in leaves, phloem and xylem in stem segments, and fine roots of Ricinus communis during a...

in order to determine probable effects of sowing dates on partitioning coefficient of dry matter to different organs (leaf, stem and reproductive organs) in different wheat varieties (koohdasht, zagros and tajan) an experiment with crbd design and four replications was conducted. 5 sowing dates were included (29 december, 2007, 30 january, 2 march, 27 march, 1may, 2008). in order to quantify pa...

Crop biomass is a critical variable for characterizing crop growth development, understanding dry matter partitioning, and predicting grain yield. Previous studies on the spectroscopic estimation of crop biomass focused on the use of various spectral indices based on chlorophyll absorption features and found that they often became saturated at high biomass levels. Given that crop biomass is com...

I. Sheep fitted with rumen cannulas were fed at hourly intervals by an automatic feeder in a controlled environment and the contents of the reticulo-rumen were removed at intervals of 6 h, 30 min after the previous feed. 2. No diurnal variation was found in the total contents or in the quantity of dry matter, organic matter and nitrogen. 3. Nine dried pasture herbages containing 0.79-3‘69 yo N ...

effect of electron beam irradiation on degradability coefficients and ruminal- postruminal digestibility of dry matter and crude protein of soybean meal, canola meal and lathyrus sativus seed, irradiated at doses of 50, 100 and 150 kgy was investigated. ruminal degradability of dry matter and crude protein was determined by in situ method using two cannulated holstein heifers. ruminal- postrumi...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS French wheat grains may be of little value on world markets because they have low and highly variable grain protein concentrations (GPC). This nitrogen-yield to yield ratio depends on crop nitrogen (N) fertilization as well as on crop capacity to use N, which is known to vary with climate and disease severity. Here an examination is made of the respective roles that N remobi...

Remobilization of mineral nutrients from leaves to reproductive structures is a possible regulatory factor in leaf senescence. The relationship between P remobilization from leaves of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv McCall) during reproductive development and leaf senescence was determined by utilizing soil P treatments that supplied deficient, optimum, and supraoptimum soil P levels. The so...

The oxidative remobilization of uranium from biogenic U(IV) precipitates was investigated in bioreduced sediment suspensions in contact with atmospheric O2 with an emphasis on the influence of Fe(II) and pH on the rate and extent of U release from the solid to the aqueous phase. The sediment was collected from the U.S. Department of Energy Field Research Center (FRC) site at Oak Ridge, Tennesse...
