Smallholder agriculture is a major source of income and food for developing nations. With more frequent drought increasing scarcity arable land, accurate land-use planning tools are needed to allocate land resources support regional agricultural activity. To address this need, we created Land Capability Classification (LCC) system maps using data from two digital soil maps, which were compared ...

an experiment was conducted to determine the optimal level of supplemental lysine in a corn-soybean mealcottonseed meal starter diet. three hundred and sixty day-old male chicks (ross 308) were used in a completely randomized design (15 birds per each pen). a basal diet was formulated to meet or exceed nrc (1994) recommendations except for lysine. graded levels of supplemental lysine (0, 0.1, 0...

The global increase in potato production and yield is expected to lead increased irrigation needs this has prompted concerns with respect the sustainability of water sources, such as groundwater. magnitude, inter- intra-annual variation, crop requirements for together their impact on aquifer storage a temperate humid region (Prince Edward Island, Canada) were estimated by using long-term (i.e.,...

Health care providers could help achieve the necessary shift to healthful eating and active living; however, lack of coverage or reimbursement, lack of time, and limited information about appropriate interventions are some of the documented barriers. This report highlights the potential for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) implementation in the relatively nontraditi...

ABSTRACT: Supplemental irrigation during dry spells could reduce maize yield losses in tropical semi-arid regions, notably small farms. However, good quality water reserves are not sufficient to meet the demands of farming communities. Consequently, our objective was evaluate productivity and profitability under different simulated rainfall scenarios, with without supplemental (SI) brackish wat...

The goal of this study was to examine how different light combinations and timing of supplemental lighting affect the vegetative and reproductive responses of pansy (Viola × wittrockiana Rose). The present study was designed as a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized block design with three replications and two factors of timing of supplemental lighting (night-interrupt...

Wheat-fallow rotation is the major land-use system in rainfed cropping of Pakistan. Crop production systems often jeopardized due to scare and erratic seasonal patterns rainfall. Climate change further threatening extent productivity agriculture Climatic risk reduction strategies such as supplemental irrigation (SI) can assist sustaining agriculture. However, little has been done investigate po...
