Sixteen multiparous Holstein cows averaging 74 d in milk were used in a replicated 4 x 4 Latin square to compare the effects on animal performance of feeding whole plant silage and grain from a glyphosate-tolerant corn hybrid (event NK603), a nontransgenic control hybrid, and two commercial nontransgenic hybrids (DK647 and RX740). The grain and silage from the four corn hybrids were produced us...

The article presents the results of work on testing promising potato hybrid variety numbers in natural and climatic conditions Smolensk region for 2019-2021 a number economically valuable characteristics: yield, marketability, starch content, taste qualities. Based comparative estimates different maturation periods, Udacha ? Breeze with highest yield 34.6-38.5 t/ha coefficient variation 5.2 %, ...

The present study was undertaken to assess the magnitude of heterosis 28 hybrids derived from eight parents pearl millet through diallel mating design excluding reciprocals. Hybrids exhibited low high significant mid parent heterosis, heterobeltiosis, and standard in desired direction for all traits except days flowering as well number effective tillers per plant. hybrid 17548 × 15388 manifeste...

Observational campaigns of the mid-latitude ionosphericE-region with sounding rockets and ground-based instruments were conducted in 1996 (SEEK) and 2002 (SEEK2). Both of them were successfully conducted to bring important findings about the mid-latitude E-region and quasiperiodic (QP) VHF radar echoes. The observational results in the SEEK and the SEEK-2 are compared with numerical simulations...

A genetically modified corn hybrid homozygous for the lpa1 allele, containing low phytate (LP), and its nearly isogenic equivalent hybrid (normal) were compared in two experiments with growing-finishing swine. In Exp. 1, 210 barrows (27 kg) were allotted to one of six dietary treatments with two corn hybrids (LP and normal) and three P feeding regimens. There were five replicate pens (seven pig...

Maize or Indian corn is, from the standpoint of total production, the second most important food plant in the world. No other crop is so widely distributed and only wheat occupies a larger acreage. Maize is noteworthy as a food because of its high content of carbohydrate, together with appreciable quantities of oil, protein, minerals, and other minor constituents. Food products made from field ...

In this paper we investigate cross-commodity futures markets connectedness over different nearest-to-maturities. We thus implement time and time-frequency estimations for two constructed baskets of commodities, classified based on common delivery months. Using daily data spanning the period 1995–2020, provide a set stylized facts extent to which commodity are integrated or segmented. More speci...

Stewart’s disease, caused by Pantoea stewartii (Smith), can cause severe economic damage to seed and sweet corn crops due to phytosanitary regulations that prevent the export of seed corn, as well as causing direct reductions in yield. To date, there are no quantitative data on the aggressiveness of P. stewartii isolates at the plant scale, nor on the temporal and spatial spread of this pathoge...
