Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is one of the stable tuber crops consumed by many households in Nigeria. It can be found in different varieties and exist in many colours of skin and flesh. The production of this important crop is still very low, thereby compromising food security. Sweet potato is one of the target commodity crops under the Nigerian Agriculture Sector Investment Opportun...

intercropping may be helpful manner to increase interception and utilization. the aim of this study was to compare radiation use efficiency and radiation interception in intercropping with sole cropping. an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad in the growing season of the year 2008. the experimental treatments were: 1- sole crop of bean 2...

Lactulose is currently the drug of choice for the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy. It is, however, only available as a syrup which is contaminated with other sugars. Consequently patients may express aversion to its excessively sweet taste and many experience nausea because of its hyperosmolarity. Lactitol is a disaccharide analogue of lactulose which can be produced as a pure crystalline p...

in order to study yield and yield components in intercropping bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) and sweet basil (ocimum basilicum l.) and evaluating effect of intercropping on weed control, a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad during growing season of 2008. treatments: included 1- sole crop of bean 2- sole crop of sweet basil 3- strip ...

in the first experiment, the chemical composition, apparent metabolizable energy (ame), ame corrected for nitrogen (amen), true metabolizable energy (tme), tme corrected for nitrogen (tmen) values of the sweet almond meal were determined in adult leghorn cockerels. the second experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of different levels of sweet almond meal at 0, 100, 200 and 300 g/kg on...

ABSTRACT- The production of greenhouse sweet pepper is increasing because of the consumer demand for sweet pepper year around. In this study, physiological characteristics of sweet pepper were evaluated in a greenhouse under different levels of arbascular mycorrhizal fungus, Glomus intraradices, (AMF) and various levels of amino acid (AA). Treatments included no AMF as a control (AMF1), 1000 sp...

In the first experiment, the chemical composition, apparent metabolizable energy (AME), AME corrected for nitrogen (AMEn), true metabolizable energy (TME), TME corrected for nitrogen (TMEn) values of the sweet almond meal were determined in adult Leghorn cockerels. The second experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of different levels of sweet almond meal at 0, 100, 200 and 300 g/kg on...
