In the context of climate change, sowing date and cultivar choice can influence productivity sorghum, especially where production is constrained by low soil fertility early terminal drought across challenging agro-ecologies north-eastern Nigeria. Planting within an optimal window to fit cultivar’s maturity length critical for maximizing/increasing crop yield following appropriate climate-smart ...

Abstract Introduction There is little data on the effect of One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) Haematinics, Vitamins D, and Parathyroid Hormone levels. It further unclear if an OAGB with a Bilio-Pancreatic Limb (BPL) 150 cm (OAGB-150) would deliver better outcomes than that BPL 200 (OAGB-200). Methods We investigated our records to obtain information patients who underwent OAGB-200 or OAGB-1...

A randomized block experiment conducted on Sultanpur silt loam evaluated the N effects on growth and nitrate accumulation of okra (Hibiscus esculents L. cv. Sabz pari) and carrot (Daucus carota L. cv. T29). Treatments consisted of a control, 100, 150 and 200 kg N ha. Significantly higher yields of carrot and okra were recorded at 150 kg N ha. Nitrate concentration in both increased (> 35 to 200...

BACKGROUND One established model to induce hepatic preneoplasia (HP) (DEN 150) uses diethylnitrosamine (DEN) as initiator agent and 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) as a promoter drug. In addition, both chemicals cause liver cholestasis and fibrosis. AIM We compared DEN 150 model with another adapted by us, DEN 200 to simplify the first one and to evaluate the effectiveness of both treatments to...

Biofuels from biomass have the potential to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. An efficient pretreatment method is required to accomplish the target of the Energy Act 2005. Extrusion could be a viable continuous pretreatment method to be explored. The objectives of the current study were to investigate the influence of screw speed and barrel temperature on sugar recovery from the selected w...

this study was conducted to determine the effect of variable nitrogen supply on yield parameters of two sugar beet varieties, as well as on biomass allocation to different parts of sugar beet plant at safi-abad agric. res. center during 2003-4 and 2004-5. five nitrogen rates (0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 kgha-1) and two monogerm sugar beet varieties (shirin and rasol) arranged as factorial in a rand...

white been line wa8592-1 was first introduced in iran through the yield trail nurseries received fron ciat in 1991. in observation nurseries carried out during 1992 and 1993 cropping seasons, ten bean populations were evaluated for yield and other characteristics, and 60 lines were selected. preliminary and advanced yield trails carried out for six years (1995-2000) in four locations khomein, e...
