ABSTRACT Irrigated fruit growing in the São Francisco Valley has been standing out Northeast region of Brazil and incorrect management fertilization caused problems physical / or chemical degradation soil. The work aimed to evaluate spatial variability attributes a Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo (Oxisol) grown with banana (Musa spp). study was carried irrigated perimeter Nupeba Riachão das Neves BA...

This study investigated the status of mechanized power and self-propelled rice cultivation machinery in Guilan Province in northern Iran. The raw data was obtained from 2013 statistics of the Agricultural Jihad Organization of Guilan province. Power per unit of area, mechanization level, area per unit of self-propelled machinery, and mechanization requirement were calculated for eastern, wester...

in this study chemical method of dissolution-precipitation was applied to produce amorphous silica nanoparticles from rice straw ash (rsa), the waste material of rice cultivation. the morphology, particle size, structure and area of specific surface of synthesized amorphous silica nanoparticles were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (tem), x-ray diffraction analysis (xrd) and bet...

INTRODUCTION Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease, which has become a major public health threat in Sri Lanka. A majority of patients are farmers in rural endemic areas. The purpose of the present study is to describe the level of knowledge and frequencies of risky practices related to leptospirosis among a sample of rural school adolescents in Galgamuwa, Kurunegala district, a highly endemic ar...

Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) requires developing countries to quantify greenhouse gas emissions and removals from forests in a manner that is robust, transparent, and as accurate as possible. Although shifting cultivation is a dominant practice in several developing countries, there is still very limited information available on how to monitor this land-u...

Cultivated land has been feeding the world for thousands of years. Only in the last few decades, remote sensing is used to assess and monitor the extent and status of cultivated land. One of the greatest challenges when working with existing land cover datasets is the lack of consistent and reliable data on the location and area intensity of cultivation. By most counts land cover datasets ident...

three experiments were conducted to study the chemical composition and the effect of variety, cultivation area as well as enzyme supplementation on the apparent and true metabolisable energy of triticale. in the first experiment, the precision-fed rooster assay was employed to determine the true metabolisable energy corrected for nitrogen in triticale. in the second and third experiments, total...

The contribution of Traditional Medicine Practitioners (TMPs) to conservation of medicinal plants and the acceptability of cultivated plants as alternative to wild sources were studied in Aiyedade Local Government area of Osun State, Nigeria. 55 TMPs were randomly selected for interview from 120 registered TMPs in the study area. 94.5 % of the respondents were aware of plant species which had b...
