This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of crop rotation and various tillage systems onthe chemical and biological properties of soil in the years 2013-2015. The first order factorincluded cropping systems: a) crop rotation (pea – winter wheat – spring wheat) and b)monoculture of winter wheat, whereas the second order factor were tillage systems:1) conventional (CT), 2) reduced (RT) and 3...

Th e aim of the research was the comparison of economic feasibility of most common conventional and organic farm production in Slovenia. Th e methodology of an integrated deterministic technologic-economic simulation system KARSIM 1.0 (DSM) application for cost analysis and decision-making support on farms is described in this article. Th e direct simulation model result is an individual conven...

Various organic constituents extracted from wheat and from soil organic matter have been analysed for their carbon content, their absolute concentration and their stable carbon isotope ratios. Most organic subfractions from plants, or soil, are 13C-depleted by up to 9.4‰ relative to bulk organic matter, mainly as a result of their higher lipid content. Furthermore, soil organic constituents are...

Cooperative multi-agent systems (MAS) are ones in which several agents attempt, through their interaction, to jointly solve tasks or to maximize utility. Due to the interactions among the agents, multi-agent problem complexity can rise rapidly with the number of agents or their behavioral sophistication. This paper propose a kind of agent-based cooperation design thought and the realization for...

This study presents effects of some nutritional and environmental factors on cellulases production by isolates, Bacillus licheniformis WBS1 and Bacillus sp. WBS3, which have been isolated from an Indian hot spring. Activity of both CMCase and FPase were higher in case of wheat straw. Maximum enzymatic activity was found at following optimum parameters: pH (8.0 when grown on rice, 9.0 when grown...

This study examined the supercritical fluid extraction of wheat germ oil. The effects of pressure (200-300 bar at 40 degrees C) and extraction time on the oil quality/quantity were studied. A comparison was also made between the relative qualities of material obtained by SFE and by organic solvent extraction. The extracts were analyzed for alpha-tocopherol and polyunsaturated fatty acid content...

this research was carried out for the purpose of urea fertilizer, organic matter and pgpr bacteria effects on yield and some growth indices on winter wheat (triticum aestivum c.v alvand). this research was carried out with factorial experiment on completely randomized design with 4 replication in greenhouse. treatments included bacteria 4 levels, without bacteri, a. brasilense, a. chroococum, i...

A soil microcosm experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of copper contamination on the dynamics and diversity of bacterial communities actively involved in wheat residue decomposition. In the presence of copper, a higher level of CO(2) release was observed, which did not arise from greater wheat decomposition but from a higher level of stimulation of soil organic matter mineralizati...

this study was carried out to determination of in vitro binding capacity of organic (wheat and barley) and inorganic (perlite) sources for mn, zn, cu, and fe. for this reason wheat and barley were analyzed chemically for moisture, protein, ash, and ether extract, total carbohydrate, ndf, adf, adl, crude fiber, viscosity, cellulose, and total dietary fiber. the in vitro mineral binding capacity ...

Allelopathy, the ability of plants to inhibit germination of other plants, is an untapped resource for weed control in crops that could revolutionize organic crop production. The main objective of the study was to evaluate allelopathic potential of various plant species on downy brome (Bromus tectorum L.), a major pest of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). To screen for potential allelopathy, plants...
