ern Tennessee (Stevens et al., 1992; Bradley, 1993; Triplett et al., 1996), conservation tillage practiced on silty clay Yield reductions from no-tillage cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) soils in northern Alabama resulted in 8 to 15% yield jeopardized adoption of conservation systems in the Tennessee Valley region of north Alabama in the early 1990s. We conducted a study from reductions compared ...

Biodynamic farming practices show promise in mitigating some of the adverse effects of conventional agriculture on the environment. Biodynamic farming is like organic farming in that no synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used. Unlike organic farmers, biodynamic farmers add eight specific preparations (made from cow manure, silica, and various plants) to enhance soil quality and p...

In the thirteenth century, Italian artists published a series of stories called novellas. It was extension this that later gave rise to tradition telling through prose. Culture refers spheres human activity and symbolic systems give special characteristics significance such activities. Cultures are divided into two types. One can be classified as culture based on internal/domestic life other so...

Yield of dryland crops grown on stored water is determined by water use from the profile which, in turn, is related to the extent of root proliferation in different layers. Plow-soles of high strength may retard root growth and adversely affect crop production. We determined the effect of initial profile water storage and soil compaction below the seed on the growth and the yield of dryland whe...

The effects of forest harvest on stream-water quality and nitrogen cycling were examined for a redwood/Douglas-fir ecosystem in the North Fork, Caspar Creek experimental watershed in northern California. Stream-water samples were collected from treated (e.g., clearcut) and reference (e.g., noncut) watersheds, and from various locations downstream from the treated watersheds to determine how far...

The objective was to evaluate different levels of crambe cake (CC) protein (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 g/kg DM) as a replacement for soybean meal in diets lambs their effect on performance, carcass traits meat quality. Forty not castrated crossbred male lambs, weighing 20 ± 3.45 kg, were settled completely randomized design with eight replicates per treatment. Final body weight (BW), dry matter ...
