The effects of cropping systems (fallow, rotation with sorghum-sudangrass hybrid [Sorghum bicolor x S. sudanense], and continuous soybean [Glycine max]), nematicide (aldicarb) treatment, and soybean cultivar on yield and nematode population densities were studied in a field infested with a mixture of Meloidogyne spp. and Heterodera glycines. Soybean following sorghum-sudangrass yielded 111 kg/h...

An experiment was conducted to estimate the true ileal digestibility of P in wheat, sorghum, soybean meal, and corn distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in broiler chickens. Four semipurified diets were formulated from each ingredient (wheat and sorghum: 236.5, 473, 709.5, and 946 g/kg; soybean meal and corn DDGS: 135, 270, 405, and 540 g/kg) to contain graded concentrations of nonphyt...

in order to study crop rotation, chemical control and their interactions on weeds density of wheat fields, an experiment was conducted in a split plot arrangement in randomized complete block design with three replications in gorgan agricultural research station for five years. in this study, 10 rotational crops: canola, fababean, barley, white pea, soybean, cotton, maize, sorghum, millet and w...

Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration has led to concerns about global changes to the environment. One area of global change that has not been fully addressed is the effect of elevated atmospheric CO2 on agriculture production inputs. Elevated CO2 concentration alterations of plant growth and C:N ratios may modify C and N cycling in soil and N fertility. This study was conducted to examine t...

blends of sorghum and soybean flours were processed in a co-rotating twin screw extruder to prepare expanded product. response surface methodology (rsm) was used to study the effect of soya level (sl), feed moisture (fm), barrel temperature (bt) and screw speed (ss) on extruder system parameters and physical properties of the extrudate. response variables were product temperature (pt), motor to...

This research was carried out to determine effect of sorghum cultivars and copper foliar spray on physiological traits under saline water situation via split plot experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with four replications during 2015 and 2016 year. The main plot consisted sorghum cultivars at three level (Kimia, KGS10, KGS4) and Copper foliar spray (C1: 0 or control...

Buildup of plant-parasitic nematode populations on corn (Zea mays), soybean (Glycine max), and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) were compared in 1991 and 1992. Final population densities (Pf) of Meloidogyne incognita were lower following sorghum than after soybean in both seasons, and Pf after sorghum was lower than Pf after corn in 1992. In both seasons, Pf differed among the sorghum cultivars used. ...

Sweet sorghum is a popular grain crop grown in water stress prone areas in the world. Its sole stand leaves ample resources untapped. This study evaluated the feasibility of intercropping sweet sorghum using eight intercropping patterns composed of 2 x 2 x 2 factorial combinations of two legumes (viz. mung bean and soybean), two row patterns [viz. alternate single row (ASR) and double row (ADR)...

A review of studies conducted on applicationofflours or concen­ tratesfrom &.,oundnut, cowpea, and soybean to improve nutritional charac­ teristics of wheat-based bread and cookies, sorghum-baseduji, and sorghwn­ based kisra are presented.Acceptable cookies were made from compovites containing50%wheat, 35% gr'-undnut,and15% cowpeaflours.At this level of fortification, the protein content was 15...
