Finger millet blast management in East Africa Creating opportunities for improving production and utilization of finger millet
Uganda is dominated by agriculture with over 80 percent of the 24.6 million people involved in subsistence farming. The most important cereals are maize, finger millet and sorghum in that order. Finger millet is the second most important cereal in Uganda after maize and exceeding sorghum both in area and production. It is the staple food for over 50% of the country’s 24.6 million people and inc...
متن کاملNutrient contents and thermal degradation of vitamins in organically grown fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis) leaves
The nutrient contents of a widely-consumed leafy vegetable produce – Telfairia occidentalis using poultry manure (PM) and mineral fertilizer (Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium-NPK) application were evaluated for comparison. PM at four levels (0, 5, 10 and 15 tonnes) and a standard rate of 90kg NPK per hectare was applied. Leaves were harvested for immediate analyses at 15 weeks after planting ...
متن کاملA Review of Nutrient Management Studies Involving Finger Millet in the Semi-Arid Tropics of Asia and Africa
Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn) is a staple food crop grown by subsistence farmers in the semi-arid tropics of South Asia and Africa. It remains highly valued by traditional farmers as it is nutritious, drought tolerant, short duration, and requires low inputs. Its continued propagation may help vulnerable farmers mitigate climate change. Unfortunately, the land area cultivated wi...
متن کاملPhytochemical phenolics in organically grown vegetables.
Fruit and vegetable intake is inversely correlated with risks for several chronic diseases in humans. Phytochemicals, and in particular, phenolic compounds, present in plant foods may be partly responsible for these health benefits through a variety of mechanisms. Since environmental factors play a role in a plant's production of secondary metabolites, it was hypothesized that an organic agricu...
متن کاملNutrient and Antinutrient Changes in Finger Millet (Eleusine coracan) During Sprouting
Changes in some nutrient and antinutrient content, viscosity and in vitro protein digestibility were followed during a 96 h sprouting of xnger millet (Eleusine coracan [ ̧.] Gaertner) at 12 h intervals. The millet was sprouted at 30 3C in well-ventilated petri dishes kept in the dark. There were signixcant decreases in antinutritional factors, with tannins and phytates decreasing to undetectable...
