The effects of vermicomposts on plant parasitic, fungivorous and baterivorous nematode populations were investigated in grape (Vitis vinifera) and strawberry (Fragaria ananasa) field crops. Commercially-produced vermicomposts derived from recycled paper, and supermarket food waste were applied to replicated plots at the rates of 2.5 t ha–1 or 5.0 t ha–1 for the grape crop and 5.0 t ha–1 or10 t ...

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], a staple food crop in Mali, has low yields for several reasons including that many farmers do not have the financial resources to purchase state-of-the-art genetics and fertilizers information is available on how optimize heirloom variety. To improve their economic environmental sustainability, Mali need understand invest limited resources. In situations t...

The objective of this study was to evaluate sorghum hybrids associated or not with Azospirillum brasilense and nitrogen fertilization (N) during planting on the yield, fermentative profile, nutritional value respective silages. Five (Volumax, 201813B, 201814B, 201709B, BRS716) were evaluated three strategies using urea (100 kg ha−1 N) brasilense, N)/A. in association. A randomized block design ...

Millets are indigenous to many parts of the world and more widely grown, especially in areas where water is limited. The most grown millet type sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.). A field study was carried out determine effect deficit irrigation regimes on grain yield seasonal evapotranspiration proso (Panicum miliaceum L.) Thrace Region Turkey. trials were conducted a loam Entisol soil, Öğretmenoğlu...

Targeting of antigens to immature dendritic cells has been shown to result in antigen-specific T-cell tolerance in vivo. In the INS-HA/TCR-HA transgenic mouse model for type 1 diabetes, we tested the potential of the dendritic cell-specific monoclonal antibody DEC-205 conjugated to the hemagglutinin (HA) antigen (DEC-HA) to prevent disease onset. Whereas untreated INS-HA/TCR-HA mice all develop...

A field experiment was conducted in 2007 and 2008 on a slightly acidic alfisol. Poultry manure (PM) was applied at 0, 5 t ha(-1), 10 t ha(-1), 15 t ha(-1), and 20 t ha(-1) in combination with SSP at 0, 15 kg P ha(-1), 30 kg P ha(-1), 45 kg P ha(-1), and 60 kg P ha(-1), which was replicated three times. The pH and organic C were significantly increased by the application of PM alone while availa...

An experiment was conducted to determine animal performance and gain/ha of beef steers (mean initial wt.: 241 kg) grazing a conventional sorghum x sudan hybrid (C) versus its near isogenic brown midrib (BMR) variety. The experiment was conducted during the summers of 1999 and 2000 in the Texas Panhandle. During both summers 8 pasture plots (2.2 ha) were blocked by location and randomly assigned...

Sorghum is a versatile crop used for energy production, human and animal feedings, raw material industry. The grain sorghum the fifth most important cereal worldwide, Brazil one of top 10 producers. In last 40 years, yield in has increased to 32.70 kg ha-1 year -1. Although this clear evolution, much remains be done, breeders still face several challenges. This review discusses main characteris...

An experiment was carried out on loamy sand soil to evaluate the effect of organic manures (farmyard manure, vermicompost, poultry manure, neem cake and castor cake) on soil and quality parameters of cowpea during summer season of 2014. Nine treatments were tried out in randomized block design with four replications. Recommended Dose Fertilizer (RDF) i.e. 2040-0 NPK kg ha-1 recorded significant...

Lymphohematopoiesis, cell matrix adhesion, homing of leukocytes, T cell activation, and tumor metastasis are mediated through the CD44 family of cell surface receptors. We have recently shown that anti-CD44 mAb trigger protein tyrosine kinase-dependent activation of T cell effector functions. Here, we show that hyaluronate (HA), a CD44 ligand, in conjunction with CD3/TCR-mediated stimuli, is co...
