A field experiment was conducted in Eastern Tigray, Ethiopia, during the summer season to determine effects of flower removal and earthing up time on tuber yield quality potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). The comprised three stages five treatments, which were laid out a randomized complete block design (RCBD) 5x3 factorial arrangement with replications. Data collected parameters analyzed using SAS ...

Unsatisfactory control of blood pressure (BP) leading to an increased rate of cardiovascular events is the main cause of mortality in haemodialysis. BP control has deteriorated since haemodialysis session times have been reduced. Inadequate BP control most often is due to a failure to achieve and maintain dry weight. Dry weight and normotension have been gradually omitted in the goals of dialys...

Tiger’s Milk mushroom has been used for medicinal purposes by local aborigines to treat asthma, breast cancer, cough, fever and food poisoning. Molecular phylogenetic analysis utilizing RNA polymerase II, second largest subunit (RPB2) gene, identified the wild Tiger’s Milk mushrooms collected from the state of Pahang in Malaysia for this study as Lignosus rhinocerus in the order Polyporales. Th...

Sodium and fluid retention in dialysis patients is associated with hypertension and vascular changes that may ultimately lead to serious cardiovascular complications. Achieving and maintaining dry weight appears to be an effective but forgotten strategy in controlling and maintaining normal blood pressure among hypertensive patients on dialysis. A crucial question is how to determine 'dry weigh...

The source-sink relationship determines crop yield, and it is largely regulated by water and nutrients in agricultural production. This has been widely investigated in cereals, but fewer studies have been conducted in root and tuber crops such as potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). The objective of this study was to investigate the source-sink relationship in potato and the regulation of water and n...

Our previous research has provided evidence that in-season calcium applications can increase tuber calcium and improve tuber quality with reduced internal defects. To determine if increasing the tuber calcium concentration also mitigates tuber bruise incidence, five commercially relevant potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars ( Russet Burbank , Atlantic , Snowden , Superior , and Dark Red Norl...

Shallots are categorized as a national priority commodity kitchen spice needed every day. that the production continues to increase from year year. National shallot increased by 4.9% 2018 of 1,502,436 tons and for North Sumatra region it 7.5% 113,864 (BPS, 2019). This study aims determine effect biofertilizer inorganic fertilizer on shallots (Allium cepa L.) using mini bulbs mother inceptisol s...

Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the effect liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) on yield and growth local peanuts yams from Banggai (casavva banggai) in an intercropping system. This conducted using a two-factor factorial Randomized Block Design. first factor is dose Liquid Organic Fertilizer (eco farming) consisting three levels: Without LO, 3.5 l/ha, 7 l/ha. second yam varieties Isla...
