Harvester ants often selectively forage seeds, causing these to be viewed as pests in agricultural areas where they may on crop seeds. While little research has been done harvester ant preferences for cover grower observations the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) suggest that remove seeds before germination. We examined red (Pogonomyrmex barbatus F. Smith) (fescue, oat, sunn hemp, radish, vetch, ...

The nature of the end groups in various types of ribonucleic acids has been the object of several investigations. Work in this field has been hampered by the difficulty of isolating samples of ribonucleic acids under conditions which do not produce chemical changes in the molecule. In addition it appears probable that most ribonucleic acid preparations are polydisperse, with the exception of th...

Soil structural quality in areas under a no-tillage system is altered after successive crops, where compaction recurrent problem. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect different forms soil decompaction on maize grain production. A randomized split-plot block design with four replications used, 5 × 3 2 factorial arrangement, consisting five mechanical decompaction: ripping depth...

Maize is a major food crop in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and its productivity affected by climate change-adaptive sustainable management practices. A 2-year field study (2019/20 2020/21 growing seasons) was carried out to evaluate the effect of sunn hemp ( Crotalaria juncea L.) living mulch on maize Zea mays production. Three planting periods were simultaneous with (P1), V15 growth stage (P2), R...
