22-151 ABSTRACT The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and improved productivity of reduced tillage pasture renovation methods in the establishment of triple species pasture mixtures into an existing naturalized stand. Experimental treatments, 2 (low and high stocking rates) by 2 (frostand sod-seeding methods) factorial with an additional non-renovated pasture contro...

to determine the effects of biofertilizers, nitrogen and azocompost on oil yield and essential oil content of dragonhead (dracocephalum moldavica l.), a field experiment was conducted as factorial in a randomized complete blocks design with 20 treatments and 3 replications. this study was performed at two locations during 2009-2010 on field in tarbiat modares university, and at the khoy agricul...

ongoing climate change has been a major global challenge since the 1880s. sequestration of carbon(c) in rangelands ecosystems could provide a net carbon sink to offset increases in atmospheric c in global scale. this research is aimed at estimating the above-ground biomass carbon sequestration potential in iran. for this purpose, total rangelands area and productivity data were extracted from t...

The importance of insects for global food crop production is starting to be well-known but the level dependence on less referenced, especially some aromatic crops. Fennel ( Foeniculum vulgare, Mill.) an mass-flowering cultivated in south France its essential oil that contains anethole. This compound and economical interest because anise flavour, which used elaborate drinks. Here, we have charac...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a significant cause of health care-associated infection. The overall effectiveness of surveillance screening programs is not well established. A retrospective cohort study was performed to evaluate the impact of a surveillance screening program on the rates of health care-associated MRSA infection (HA-MRSA-I) at a single institution. A subse...

During the 1960s and 1970s there was an intense debate on the observed inverse relationship between farm size and per hectare agricultural productivity in India. It was subsequently argued that the higher productivity of smallholdings would disappear with the adoption of superior technology, modernisation and growth in general. However, close to half a century later, National Sample Survey data...

We investigate the scenario in which some amount of higher quality habitat is destroyed and is then replaced by some undetermined amount of lower quality habitat. We examined how much low-quality habitat would need to be created to maintain the equilibrium population abundance in the entire geographic area. Using a source–sink model, we find that (1) the number of hectares of created habitat pe...

Net uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) measured by eddy covariance in a 60- to 80-year-old forest averaged 2.0 +/- 0.4 megagrams of carbon per hectare per year during 1993 to 2000, with interannual variations exceeding 50%. Biometry indicated storage of 1.6 +/- 0.4 megagrams of carbon per hectare per year over 8 years, 60% in live biomass and the balance in coarse woody debris and soils, confirming...

At the Global level, a result of analysis reveals that in year 2020, Cote D Ivoire has maintained its position as world's largest producer cashew nuts with 20.30 percentage share, followed by India (18.48 %), it is found nut area part continuous up trend throughout study period except 2016-17, whereas production point view ups and down during period. The scenario very similar respect productivi...
