This research aimed to determine the effects of different cover crops and application ofbio-fertilizer on dynamic of nitrogen in the soil and sweet maize yield. Also, we evaluated theeffect of fall–winter species (common vetch, field pea, winter oats, fodder kale) and a mixtureof vetch and field pea with oats used as cover crops, as such as dead organic mulch andtraditional variant, without cov...

Mixed crop–livestock farming is usually considered to be beneficial for the environment, but comprehensive characterisation of functional interactions between crops and livestock, thus assessment their ecological relevance, remain problematic. In this article, we design a systemic reading grid focusing on agricultural practices interactions, which organised in four groups according agronomic fu...

The operation of futures exchanges and the trading on the fl oor is hard to be interpreted without knowing the actors’ main motivations. For the solution of this problem a lot of information is provided by theories aimed at revealing the motives of hedge deals having gained acknowledgment in the international special literature, whose short introduction in this paper is followed by the setting ...

The aim of this study was to explore the therapeutic effect of Pleurotus eryngii cellulose on experimental fatty liver in rats. Rats were fed high-fat fodder to establish a rat fatty liver model, and were then fed different concentrations of Pleurotus eryngii cellulose for six weeks. Lipitor was used as a positive control. Measured levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransf...

Environmental contaminants have been identified as endocrine disruptors through their antiandrogenic activity. Thus, as androgen receptor antagonists, the fungicide vinclozolin and the principal DDT metabolite p,p'-DDE have been demonstrated to induce demasculinization in rats. Whether this is also the case in fish remains to be demonstrated. For a period of 30 days, groups of adult male guppie...

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have originally been defined as root-colonizing bacteria that cause either plant growth promotion or biological control of plant diseases. The mechanisms by which PGPR promote plant growth are not fully understood, but it is believed that the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria enhance plant growth and yield either by direct or indirect mechanisms. T...

Sorghum is widely grown as a failsafe crop in semi-arid regions particularly post rainy season. Though the effect of drought on performance studied there are few studies illustrating association fodder quality and agronomic traits under drought. To study interactions we evaluated set 24 cultivars for three years The was evident delayed flowering (by 2 days) reduce plant height 0.98 cm) compared...

Livestock is a significant economic contributor to country and essential the production of milk, eggs meats for country's expanding population. Fodder oats (Avena sativa L.) are commonly grown livestock feed due their high yield potential nutritive value. Nutrient management crucial aspect fodder that can significantly affect plant growth, forage quality soil properties. oat growth attributes d...
