The effect of stocking rate on forage growth has attracted much research attention in forage science. Findings show that forage growth may be affected by stocking rate, and there is a consensus that high stocking rates lead to soil compaction, which could also in turn affect forage growth because of the changing soil hydrology and increased soil impedance to forage root penetration. In this stu...

Rhizobium sp. strain TBD182, isolated from a novel hydroponics system, is an antagonistic bacterium that inhibits the mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum but does not eliminate the pathogen. We report the draft genome sequence of TBD182, which may contribute to elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of its fungistatic activity.

Subtropical grasslands interspersed in forests often present mosaics of tall and grazing lawns with a high variation structure, biomass nutrient concentration. However, the impact such on forage quality is still poorly known. We quantified physical chemical properties grasses grasslands, forested region Bardia National Park, Nepal during hot-dry season. This area falls within Cwa-climate (Köppe...

There is a lot of technological buzz over the past few years regarding taking care of lettuce and hydroponic greenhouse plants and fish. We first review and discuss the recent technologies in the field of hydroponics, especially the hydroponic sensor curriculum project. The College of Engineering at The University of Akron developed a sensor that can detect hydrology, ph, electrical conductivit...

The purpose of this project was to create an educational video based upon hydroponic farming. It was created for agricultural educators, in hope high school agricultural teachers would show it in their classrooms. The goal was for students to be able to see a commercial style hydroponic system, and to understand the basic concepts of operation. The video was intended to be supplemented with add...

We have been studied the effect of two diets one the growth of the Helix aspersa Müller during the juvenile stage under laboratory conditions. Diet I consists of commercial layer’s mash. We used ten lots of forty animals of 0.34 + 0.05 g, assigning five to each diet and keep them during the 6 first weeks of life in the laboratory conditions described by Perea et al. (2003) and García et al. (20...

Abstract The genetic resources of wild populations the valuable forage crop Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth. in different ecological conditions southern Srednerusskaya Upland were studied. Selected source material for breeding fodder productivity.In Vorskla natural-territorial complex individuals which on average 6.9-27.7% exceeded other cenopopulations by height and bush size. forms with high pot...

Excessive salt can reduce soybean yield [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in grower fi elds. Salttolerant cultivars are needed to prevent fi eld yield losses where excess salt is a problem. Soybean genotypes have primarily been evaluated for reaction to salt in the greenhouse using a labor-intensive and costly hydroponics method. A reliable, inexpensive method to screen soybean lines for salt tolerance ...
