A field experiment was conducted during 2015-16 to 2021-22 at Centre for Research on IFS, S.D.A.U., Sardarkrushinagarto study the evaluation of response different varieties major crops organic farming under north Gujarat condition. Total eight each crop groundnut, wheat and green gram were taken kharif, rabi summer season, respectively. The laid down in randomized block design with three replic...

This study assessed the effects of total ochratoxins on nutritional composition and functional properties grain flours. The grains cowpea, sorghum, maize, groundnut, rice, millet, acha were milled. proximate composition, properties, as well Total Ochratoxin levels, determined. Ochratoxins evaluated. levels in flours ranged from 0.09 to 54.41 μg/kg not seen some rice samples. Most found beyond W...

Masa is a traditionally fermented meal usually made from cereals. The aim of this research was to produce an enriched rice and Bambara groundnut. colour, functional properties microbial quality composite blend groundnut flour, in the ratio 100:0, 95:5, 90:10, 85:15, 80:20, were evaluated using standard methods. Sensory freshly masa prepared stored flours also determined. load flour increased ov...

Oilseeds play an important role in Indian agriculture as the second major crop (next to cereals). Groundnut (Arachis Hypogaea L.) is one of oilseed crops among India and Gujarat. Gujarat ranks first area production groundnut all states country accounting for 34 43 percent respectively. The study utilized monthly time series data on arrival prices 20 years (April-1998 March-2018). market co-inte...

The current study was aimed to explore the genetic diversity among seventy Pakistani accessions of Arachis hypogaea. In Pakistan their morphological and biochemical variations have already documented but still so far, molecular variations need to be studied for this valuable crop. For molecular diversity study DNA was extracted from all seventy accessions of Arachis hypogaea. The extracted DNA ...

The present study was conducted to isolate and characterize the proteases from seven leguminous seeds: soybean, lentil, black gram, green gram, bengal gram, groundnut and pea bean. We elaborated the easy procedure for isolation of protease from leguminous seeds by using (NH4)2SO4 precipitation. The effect of pH and temperature of protease activity were determined. This study revealed that the p...

Field experiments were conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, Nigeria during the farming seasons of 1997-1999. The objective of the experiments was to establish the effects of cropping arrangements and rainfall on the performance of two varieties of okra plant (Indian long white and short local varieties) in terms of flower and fruit initiation...

This pape r tries to illustrate how beneficial interactions between crops can be exploited to increase the overall output of a cropping system. Growth studies with sorghum/pigeonpea and mil let /groundnut a re described to show how intercropping systems can achieve much larger yields than sole crops by using environmental resources more fully over t ime or more efficiently in space. D a t a fro...

Variation in pod and seed yield among twelve cultivars of Bambara groundnut was investigated in 2004 and 2005 cropping seasons. The mean performance revealed that BG7004AS despite its recorded low number of pods per plant, had the highest 100 seed weight, pod width, pod length, seed width and seed length, followed by BG7002AS, BG7009BS and BG70010AS, which had the best yield and yield component...

Physico-chemical and surface characterization of activated carbon prepared from groundnut shell, an abundantly available carbonaceous solid waste from oil processing mills in India, by chemical activation were carried out. The effect of various activation conditions viz. time, temperature and ZnCl2 / char ratio on the % yield of product and adsorption efficiency in terms of iodine number was st...
