The use of cellulose-containing agricultural by-products modified with the cross-linking reagent dimethyloldihydroxyethylene urea (DMDHEU) and the quaternary amine, choline chloride, as anion exchange resins, has not been reported. The objective of the present study was to convert the readily available by-products, soybean hulls, sugarcane bagasse and corn stover to functional anion exchange re...

The effect of tillage, crop establishment and weed management was studied on theperformance of wheat grown after soybean at New Delhi, India during 2010-11 to 2011-12.Sixteen treatment combinations involved 2 tillage, viz. conventional tillage (CT) and zero tillage(ZT), two crop establishment practices, viz. raised-bed and flat-bed and four weed management,viz. isoproturon + hand weeding, mesos...

A microplot experiment was conducted in soybean–wheat cropping system at New Delhi during 2010-11 and 2011-12 to study the effect of continuous or cyclic tillage, viz., conventional tillage (CT) and zero-tillage (ZT) and residue management of either soybean (SR) and/or wheat (WR) on yield performance and soil physico-chemical properties. The experiment was laid out in randomized block desi...

Increasing demand for land-based climate mitigation requires more efficient management of agricultural landscapes competing objectives. Here we develop methods assessing trade-offs and synergies between intensification carbon-sequestering conservation measures in annual crop production using the DayCent ecosystem model Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, Energy Use Technologies (GREET) life-...

A field experiment was conducted during rainy seasons of 2007-2009 in India (Manipur) to study the effect of different sources and levels of phosphorus on productivity of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]. The treatments consisted of four sources of phosphorus [Single super phosphate (SSP), Di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), Single super phosphate (SSP)+Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB), Di-ammo...

While agricultural residue is considered as a near-term feedstock option for cellulosic biofuels, its sustainability must be evaluated by taking water into account. This study aims to analyze the county-level water footprint for four biofuel pathways in the United States, including bioethanol generated from corn grain, stover, wheat straw, and biodiesel from soybean. The county-level blue water...

The main objective of the study was to develop technology for improving utilization abundant quantities under- utilized crop residues and leguminous plants during dry season mitigate effects on milk yield. set up test practical ways upgrading low quality roughage their effect A 22 factorial experiment within a Completely Randomised Design (CRD) used. involved maize stover using urea fertilizer ...

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the residual effect of rock phosphate and waste mica enriched compost on phosphorus and potassium supplying capacity under soybean crop grown after wheat in a Typic Haplustept. Enriched compost prepared using rice straw, rock phosphate, waste mica and Aspergillus awamori had higher chemical (total P, K, Ca, Mg and micronutrients) as well as biologica...

Abstrak. Kehilangan hasil tanaman kedelai akibat persaingan dengan gulma ditentukan oleh densitas gulma. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh kerapatan babadotan terhadap pertumbuhan dan kedelai. Penelitian ini telah dilaksanakan di Kebun Percobaan Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Syiah Kuala, Darussalam, Banda Aceh sejak bulan Oktober 2021 sampai Januari 2022. menggunakan Rancangan Acak ...

and Implications Because treatment with calcium oxide (CaO) will increase the digestibility of corn stover, CaO-treated corn stover may be a cost-effective alternative to a portion of corn grain in beef feedlot diets. Single-pass harvested corn stover was ensiled either untreated or treated with 5% CaO on a dry matter (DM) basis. Ground baled stover, untreated stover silage, or CaO-treated stov...
