wheat germ, a highly nutritive part of wheat kernels, is separated during milling as a by-product. in this study, wheat germ was used to supplement cakes. different levels of the germ (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%) at different particles sizes (280, 585, 890 and 1,195 µm) were added to a cake recipe. the results showed that with increasing the germ level and particle size, batter consistency and densit...

a green house study was conducted to evaluate the comparative efficacy of pasteuria penetrans under the influence of organic amendments of four oil seed cakes namely azadirachta indica (locally known as neem), castor (ricinus communis), mustard (brassica campestris) and citrullus (citrullus colocynthis)on suppression of populations of meloidogyne incognita in chilli. oil seed cakes were applied...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of winter crops residues on weed control, physiological indices, yield and yield components of potato. an experiment was carried out at the research farm of colleg of agricultural of bu-ali sina university in 2009. the experiment was a randomized complete block design with three replications. residues of rye, oilseed rape, triticale, barley, ...

This study presents the availability of fish feed ingredients and their nutritive value in Lakshmipur region, southern Bangladesh considering the presence of large number of fish farms in those areas. A survey was conducted to collect the ingredients from the local markets and fish farms of the area. A range of commonly used feed ingredients for fish farming was available in the markets that in...

Despite a high nitrate uptake capacity, the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of oilseed rape is weak due to a relatively low N remobilization from vegetative (mostly leaves) to growing parts of the plant. Thus, this crop requires a high rate of N fertilization and leaves fall with a high N content. In order to reduce the rate of N fertilization and to improve the environmental impact of oilseed ra...

Recent projects in New England have shown that growing oilseed crops for on-farm biofuel production has the potential to increase the economic viability of farms through diversification. Oilseed meals would net the highest return if sold as a source of protein for a livestock ration, but there have been several barriers preventing the establishment of this market. There are small amounts of loc...

Most of the Western World banned the cultivation of Cannabis sativa in the early 20th century because biotypes high in ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, the principal intoxicant cannabinoid) are the source of marijuana. Nevertheless, since 1990, dozens of countries have authorized the licensed growth and processing of “industrial hemp” (cultivars with quite low levels of THC). Canada has concentrat...

Aqueous suspensions of aggregated silica particles have been dewatered to the point where the colloidal aggregates connect to each other and build a macroscopic network. These wet cakes have been compressed through the application of osmotic pressure. Some cakes offer a strong resistance to osmotic pressure and remain at a low volume fraction of solids; other cakes yield at low applied pressure...

This study compared the nutritional value of canola (B. napa) and mustard (B. hirta) press cakes obtained from the biodiesel industry as ingredients for use in diets fed to broiler chickens. A total of 210, one-day old, male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to one of seven dietary treatments. The control diet was based on wheat and soybean meal and contained 15% canola meal. For the experi...

Triazine-resistant chloroplasts o f the Canadian spring oilseed rape variety OAC Triton were transferred into four German winter oilseed rape lines and two cultivars o f double-low quality by means o f protoplast fusion. X-irradiation has been used to reduce the amount o f nuclear D N A o f the spring type cultivar and to promote cybrid formation. RFLP-analysis showed that some regenerants and ...
