This study was aimed to evaluate the correlation between in vitro fermentation and in situ degradation parameters and to predict dry matter degradability and energy protein synchronization of roughage based diets. Different inclusion of roughage in diets [roughage 50% diet (R50D), roughage 60% diet (R60D), roughage 65% diet (R65D) and roughage ...

First rotation Pinus radiata D. Don trees were grown on a nitrogen-deficient sand dune in an experimental design that included lupin (Lupinus arboreus Sims) as an understory species, and biennial application of balanced fertilizer in a replicated split-plot factorial design with thinning treatments as subplots. From an initial 2222 stems ha(-1), stands were thinned to 1483 and 741 trees ha(-1) ...

Eight spring wheat cultivars were evaluated under three heat stress conditions (early, late and very late) in order to identify suitable cultivars to develop heattolerant genotypes resistant to future global warming. Results from the study indicate that stress did not negatively affect flag leaf area in ‘Prodip’ and ‘Sufi’, flag leaf dry matter partitioning in ‘Prodip’, ‘BARI Gom-26’ and ‘S...

a simple mechanistic model was constructed to evaluate potential dry matter of pearl millet. all needed parameters were calculated based on many field and laboratory experiments and actual data obtained from 86 fields of millet located at different regions of khorasan's provinces. the major simulated processes were crop phenology (as a function of temperature and photoperiod function curve...

Background: Drought is a leading abiotic factor limiting groundnut production globally. Therefore, the screening and development of moisture stress tolerant genotypes key issue towards sustainable agriculture. Methods: An experiment was laid in split plot design taking two conditions, control (T1) (T2) as main treatments 7 sub treatments. Several morpho-physiological traits like dry matter prod...
