Argon oxygen decarburization (AOD) slag is the by-product of stainless steel refining process, which has caused considerable environmental stress. In this work, utilization AOD as mineral fertilizer for alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne planting were investigated by pot experiments. The morpho-physiological parameters biomass, plant height, root morphology bioc...

En Colombia, la producción avícola es una fuente importante de alimento aportando proteína origen animal buena calidad como huevos y carne, sin embargo, al presentarse altos costos en los concentrados se ha generado necesidad búsqueda alternativas alimentación. El objetivo este trabajo fue determinar el efecto del consumo forrajes verdes Alfalfa (Medicago sativa), Morera (Morus alba) Botón oro ...

Chemical fertilizers are gradually being replaced with new biological fertilizers, which can improve the soil and microorganisms. In this experiment, leguminous forage (Medicago sativa cv. Beilin 201) was used as research object. By measuring alfalfa root systems properties using high-throughput sequencing technology, we investigated effect of (rhizobial) fertilizer at different concentrations ...

Intercropping legumes with cereals for forage production is a practical multi-cropping technique to increase yield and improve land use efficiency. In 3-year cropping sequence, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) intercropped corn (Zea mays may overall economic sustainability over either crop alone. The objective of this study was assess productivity corn-alfalfa intercropping system its effect on wee...

Application of most antibiotic growth promoters as feed additives has been banned in a lot of countries due to cross-resistance against pathogens and residues in tissues. Therefore, scientists are searching for alternatives to antibiotics nowadays. Medicinal plant extracts are one of the alternatives that have anti-microbial and growth promoting effect on poultry. In this paper, the benefits of...

Thioredoxin (TRX) is a small molecule protein that participates in the redox process and plays decisive role various functions of plants. However, TRX Medicago sativa (alfalfa), widely cultivated perennial herb legume, still poorly understood. Here, we isolated MsTRX from alfalfa determined characteristics improving salt tolerance by assaying phenotype physiological changes expression stress-re...
