Abstract Drip irrigation is an system that can save water by releasing a regulated amount of and nutrients to the roots plants using emitters. The use emitters one additional costs in drip systems. Estimating potential fronds as are done measuring saturated hydraulic conductivity. method used falling head determine ability emitter material made from sago pass be meet needs chili plants. results...

Therefore, enhancing the quality of grain sorghum stover may offer an opportunity to add value to the overall Nearly 3 million hectares of grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L). system when post grain harvest stover residue is used Moench] are harvested in the USA each year. It may be possible to add value to crop and animal systems by enhancing the digestibility as a forage base for livestock. of...

Leaves of Monteverdia ilicifolia (“espinheira-santa”) are considered a medicinal tea by the Brazilian Sanitary Surveillance Agency (Anvisa), their anti-dyspeptic, anti-acid and protective gastric mucosa properties. Their spiny margins similar to those other botanical species, which may lead misidentifications. The aim this work was evaluate authenticity 32 samples herbal drugs commercialized as...

Dairy farming requires forages with high neutral detergent fiber (NDF) to maximize milk production, sustain cows’ health, and ensure the economic environmental sustainability of dairy farm. The objectives this study were determine effects brown midrib (BMR) genotype, agronomic environment, maturity at harvest on NDF digestibility (NDFD) composition cell wall corn plant tissues. In plot study, o...

In oil palm plantations, compost application for plants aims to support a sustainable cropping system. The study aimed determine the effect of midrib compost, empty fruit bunches and rice washing water on growth seedlings in main nursery. experiment was conducted at Ciparanje Experimental Garden, Faculty Agriculture, Padjadjaran University, from February 2020 August 2020. using an experimental ...

Funnell-Harris, D. L., Pedersen, J. F., and Sattler, S. E. 2010. Alteration in lignin biosynthesis restricts growth of Fusarium spp. in brown midrib sorghum. Phytopathology 100:671-681. To improve sorghum for bioenergy and forage uses, brown midrib (bmr)6 and -12 near-isogenic genotypes were developed in different sorghum backgrounds. The bmr6 and bmr12 grain had significantly reduced colonizat...

The brown midrib-3 (bm3) gene mutation has been incorporated into corn plants to potentially improve fiber digestibility. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of bm3 corn silage on digestion and performance of growing beef steers and to determine whether limiting intake would further enhance fiber digestibility of bm3 corn silage. A bm3 hybrid and its isogeneic normal count...

Sorghum, a species able to produce a high yield of biomass and tolerate both drought and poor soil fertility, is considered to be a potential bioenergy crop candidate. The reduced lignin content characteristic of brown midrib (bmr) mutants improves the efficiency of bioethanol conversion from biomass. Suppression subtractive hybridization combined with cDNA microarray profiling was performed to...
