This study estimated the fermentation characteristics and nutrient value of corn-lablab bean mixture silages relative to corn silages. The effects of feeding corn-lablab bean mixture silages on nutrient apparent digestibility and milk production of dairy cows in northern China were also investigated. Three ruminally cannulated Holstein cows were used to determine the ruminal digestion kinetics ...

European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), is a major pest of processing snap bean because larvae are contaminants in pods. The incidence of O. nubilalis-contaminated beans has become uncommon in New York, possibly because widespread adoption of Bt field corn has suppressed populations. Snap bean fields located where Bt corn has been intensively grown in space and time may be at lower ri...

in order to evaluate the intercropping of corn (zea mays l.) and bean cultivars (phaseolus spp.) an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replicaties at sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university during growing season of 2010. the experimental treatments consisted of sole cropping of corn, white bean, bush bean, red bean, pinto bean and swo...

in order to study the effect of intercropping of corn with bean and bitter vetch and farmyard manure (fym) on corn nutrition, a factorial experiment was carried out on the basis of randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the factors were types of intercropping systems at levels of sole bean, bean+corn, sole bitter vetch, bitter vetch+corn, sole corn, and fym at levels of 0, 3...

in order to determinate the effects of plant densities in intercropped corn (zea mays l.) and bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) on radiation absorption and use efficiency, an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during growing season of 2007-2008. this experiment was conducted in low input system. a randomized complete block design with ...

in order to evaluate radiation capture and use efficiency and productivity in sole and intercropping of three crops, rapeseed (brassica napus l.), bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) and corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was conducted in mashhad region during the growing season of 2007-2008. in this study six treatments including three sole cropping of the crops (rapeseed sown in 22 september 2007, co...

This paper aimed to evaluate the productivity of corn crop for silage, beans and straw production in different rotation systems with spring/summer fall/winter green manures cultivated under agroecological management. The experiment was implemented a rural property managed an system since 2009, 2017/18 2018 crops. experimental design used randomized blocks, five repetitions. treatments consisted...

Western bean cutworm, Striacosta albicosta (Smith), has undergone a recent eastward expansion from the western U.S. Corn Belt to Pennsylvania and parts of Canada. Little is known about its ecology and behavior, particularly during the early instars, on corn (Zea mays L.). There is a narrow treatment window for larvae, and early detection of the pest in the field is essential. An understanding ...

Air-classified pulse (non-oilseed legume) protein and starch may replace specialty protein and starch feedstuffs in diets for weaned pigs. In Exp. 1, three specialty protein sources (5% soy protein concentrate, 5% corn gluten meal, and 5% menhaden meal in the control diet) were replaced with 16% zero-tannin hulled or dehulled faba bean, or 17.5% field pea protein concentrate. In total, 192 grou...
