the effects of cattle manure vermicompost on the growth and productivity of cymbidium (cymbidium sp.) plants were evaluated under shade conditions. cymbidium was grown in a container medium including 50% pumice, 30% charcoal, 10% vermiculite and 10% peat moss, which was basic plant growth medium substituted with 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% (by volume) vermicompost. the control consisted of container ...

the present study describes the radiation-induced effects on nutritional quality and on anti-nutritional factors of sorghum grain: effects of electron beam (er) and gamma irradiation (gr) at doses of 10, 20 and 30 kgy and infrared irradiation (ir) at 60, 90 and 120 s on the chemical composition, mineral content and bioavailability, in vitro protein and starch digestibility, total phenolic compo...

comparative effects of extrusion cooking and conventional processing methods (cooking and autoclaving) on anti-nutritional factors and subsequent effects on in vitro and in vivo digestibility of vicia ervilia in broilers were investigated. treatments had significant effect (p

AN INTERRELATIONSHIP between certain of the actions of ascorbic acid and of pteroylglutamic acid (PGA) has been reported recently by several laboratories. The "tyrosyluria" present in vitamin C deficient guinea pigs' can be abolished by the parenteral administration of pteroylglutamic acid, although the deficiency of vitamin C and the subsequent development of scurvy is not ameliorated.2-4 Mass...

The effects of 13 soybean varieties (356, M4, M7, M9, Clark, Sahar, JK, BP, Williams, L17, Zane, Gorgan3, and DPX) on nutritional indices of the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), were determined at 25 ± 1° C, 65 ± 5% RH and a photoperiod of 16:8 L:D. Fourth instar larvae reared on Zane showed the highest efficiency of conversion of digested food (ECD) and ...
