The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect an early application potassium (K) fertilizer on pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) grown during fall/winter performance maize (Zea mays silage in succession. Using a randomized block design, harvest, plots were composed and six doses K (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 150 kg K2O ha-1) as muriate potash (57% K2O) addition fallow. In summer cultivation...

An experiment was carried out to determine net microbial protein supply to ruminants from 15 tropical feeds. The study was done at Lyamungo research institute, on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania in 1993. Twenty Bos Taurus Bos Indicus bulls were used in three periods in a completely randomised design. The initial 19 days of each period were for adaptation by the bulls to their new enviro...

Using ileal digestible amino acids in feed optimising will intensify feed protein utilizing and decrease nitrogen excretion to the environment. The study determined the apparent ileal digestibility (AID) coefficients of amino acids in barley, wheat, oats, triticale, maize, and dehulled oats in the diets of 180 Ross broiler chickens (aged 24–35 days). The birds were fed semi-purified diets that ...

Background: Waterweeds (Elodea nuttallii and Elodea canadensis) are invasive neophytes, which have been proliferating at a phenomenal rate during the last decades in German waterways. In case of overgrowth, the strong covering of vegetation can cause problems in hydroelectric power plants and leads to limitations in ship and boat traffic as well as in use for bathing and fishing activities. Aft...

In the conventional straw returning operation, maize is broken into pieces of about 10 cm and degraded naturally in farmland. Under mode, does not easily decompose quickly cold climate conditions, which can cause a significant decrease dry matter accumulation rate next seedlings. Therefore, it difficult to popularize maize-growing regions Northeast China. order solve above-mentioned problems, n...

The cultivation of renewable raw materials on arable land is challenged by the ongoing fuel-versus-food debate resulting from increases in maize cultivation, shorter crop rotations and competition. Accordingly, current legal framework for biogas production Germany focuses limiting traditional substrates, such as silage maize, promoting use various alternatives, waste by-products. One new sustai...

Strategies for conserving natural resources and reducing agricultural inputs are the great challenge agriculture, such as sustainable alternatives to control pests of high economic impact, e.g. plant-parasitic nematodes. This work aimed evaluate phytonematode’s population dynamics in common bean cultivation grown under crop rotations no-tillage system. The maize was seeded pearl millet straw in...
