a 42-day study was conducted to evaluate the influence of full-fat flaxseed (fs) and canola seed (cs) on broiler performance, fatty acid (fa) profile of meat, serum lipid content and antibody response to sheep red blood cells antigen (srbc). a total of 324 one-day-old chicks were attributed to 6 experimental groups. c: control (soybean-corn); cs1:7.5% cs; cs2:15% cs; cs-fs:10% fs + 10% cs; fs1:...

The purpose of this research is to analyze how changes in acquisition time and incidence angle affect various C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) polarimetric intensities, co-polarized phase information, polarimetric response plots and decomposition parameters for various crops typical of Northern Ontario, Canada. We examine how these parameters may be used to monitor the growth stages of fiv...

in this paper, the value of exchange rate was calculated in order to determine comparative advantage in crops of sari township during 2009-2010. hence, first, comparative advantage indices are estimated by using a policy analysis matrix. the results showed that just wheat has a drc index of one in the minimum amount of national currency exchange rate value. this indicated the fact that only whe...

This study was conducted to produce biodiesel from a mixture of 5 different oils i.e, palm oil, used cooking soybean canola and sunflower through transesterification under mole ratio variations oil: methanol. The were mixed at total volume 300 mL with the same amount each oil used. blended 60°C for 1 h, ratios methanol set 1:3, 1:6, 1:9, 1:12, 1:15. results demonstrated that 1:6 resulted in hig...

Abstract Diversified crop rotation with an appropriate sequence may be a promising strategy for increasing productivity while reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and lowering carbon (C) footprint more sustainable agricultural systems. The objectives of this study were to (i) assess the agronomic performance C canola ( Brassica napus L.) production in different cropping systems, (ii) better...

Remote sensing data are considered as one of the primary sources for precise agriculture. Several studies have demonstrated excellent capability radar and optical imagery crop mapping biophysical parameter estimation. This paper aims at modeling parameters, e.g., Leaf Area Index (LAI) biomass, using a combination Earth observations. We extracted several features from polarimetric Synthetic Aper...

Since transgenic, bromoxynil-resistant cotton and glufosinate-resistant canola were introduced in 1995, planting of transgenic herbicide-resistant crops has grown substantially, revolutionizing weed management where they have been available. Before 1995, several commercial herbicide-resistant crops were produced by biotechnology through selection for resistance in tissue culture. However, non-t...
