Background: A field experiment was conducted during two consecutive Rabi (winter) seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18 at Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat, India to assess the impact wheat varieties integrated nutrient management practices on content uptake soil status. The experimental plot loamy sand in texture, low organic carbon (0.24%), available ni...

Most previous studies have ascribed variations in the resorption of a certain plant nutrient to its corresponding environmental availability or level in tissues, regardless of the other nutrients' status. However, given that plant growth relies on both sufficient and balanced nutrient supply, the nutrient resorption process should not only be related to the absolute nutrient status, but also be...

By combining the sciences of nutrition, bioinformatics, genomics, population genetics, and epidemiology, nutrigenomics is improving our understanding of how diet and nutrient intake can interact with or modify gene expression and disease risk. In this review, we explore various approaches to examine gene-nutrient interactions and the modifying role of nutrient consumption, as they relate to nut...

The study was conducted at 10 – yearsold walnut orchard at Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni-Solan(H.P.) to find out the effect of integrated nutrient management on leaf nutrient status of walnut (Juglans regia L.). There were 13 different treatment combinations of organic and inorganic fertilizers. Treatments were applied on per tree basis. Among the treatments re...

Proper nutritional status is critical for optimal production efficiency in the beef cow herd. However, beef producers often take a “one size fits all” approach to feeding the cows in the cow herd. This singular approach to nutrient supply for the cow herd can have serious nutritional and economic ramifications. It should be obvious that not all cows have the same nutrient requirements. Nutritio...

What we drink has a potentially large impact on our nutrient intake and overall nutrition and health status. Some beverages are energy-dense and nutrient-poor, others deliver alcohol and other drugs, and others can be relatively nutrient-dense. Estimating and assessing the contribution of beverages to nutritional status is an ongoing nutrition assessment challenge. In this issue, Muckelbauer et...
