in order to estimate effects of drought stress on dry matter allocation of pinto bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.), an experiment was carried out as split plot based on complete randomized block design with four replications at zanjan university research farm. in this experiment,  two irrigation levels (optimum irrigation during growth season and post flowering drought stress) were set at main plots...

Corresponding Author: Effendy Department of Agriculture Economics, Tadulako University, Indonesia Email: [email protected] Abstract: This research aims to: (1) analyze the effect of input production against total beans per 100 g of dry cocoa beans and (2) analyze the correlation of total beans and fat content of cocoa beans. The Cobb-Douglas production function assisted in answering the...

The aim of this study was the determination of the level of ochratoxin A (OTA) in cocoa beans and derived products along with the estimation of the dietary intake in adults. Throughout harvesting seasons from 2005 to 2009, as many as 1895 samples of cocoa beans were collected at ports and areas of cocoa production and thereafter analyzed. OTA concentrations were determined by HPLC according to ...

This paper reflects on a recent article by Heckman and Pinto (2013) in which they discuss a formal system, called do-calculus, that operationalizes Haavelmo’s conception of policy intervention. They replace the do-operator with an equivalent operator called “fix,” highlight the capabilities of “fix,” discover limitations in “do,” and inform readers that those limitations disappear in “the Haave...

Germination is a method that can modify the presence of nutrients and antinutrients in legume seeds. In this study, the changes in trypsin inhibitors activity (TIA), phytic acid, tannins, ascorbic acid, thiamine, protein digestibility and minerals in germinated black beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), white beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and pigeon beans (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp) were evaluated. The...
