BACKGROUND Tempeh is a food product obtained from legumes by means of solid-state fermentation with Rhizopus sp. Our previous research proved that mixed-culture inoculum may also be successfully applied. The objective of present research was to study the proteolytic activity of R. microsporus var. chinensis and A. oryzae during tempeh-type fermentation of grass pea seeds, and the effect of inoc...

Konzo (caused by consumption of improperly processed cassava, Manihot esculenta) and neurolathyrism (caused by prolonged overconsumption of grass pea, Lathyrus sativus) are two distinct non-infectious upper motor neurone diseases with identical clinical symptoms of spastic paraparesis of the legs. They affect many thousands of people among the poor in the remote rural areas in the central and s...

Densification of biomass can address handling, transportation, and storage problems and also lend itself to an automated loading and unloading of transport vehicles and storage systems. The purpose of this study is to compare the physicochemical properties of briquettes made from different feedstocks. Feedstocks such as corn stover, switchgrass, prairie cord grass, sawdust, pigeon pea grass, an...

Winter oilseed rape (OSR) can be grown intercropped with frost-sensitive service plant mixtures. This practice may reduce weed pressure and contribute to providing N for OSR after freezing. However, there is little knowledge of how plants interact together the soil in diverse annual crop To assess these interactions, two contrasting legume were selected: faba bean grass pea, as well a non-legum...

The pulses are belongs to the family Fabaceae which is also known as food legumes. Pulses are second important group of the crops after cereals. Pulses are the most important crops of Indian Agriculture. The member of Fabaceae family includes the economically important legume like pulses, oil seed, forage and fodder crops and also shrubs and tropical or subtropical trees. These pulses are chick...

Legumes are a rich source of valuable nutrients thus represent important component in human and animal nutrition. The most often limiting factor legume production is the presence seed pests, such as bean weevil Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say, 1831). This work tested suitability three different species (common bean, faba grass pea), with growing interest diet, for development weevil, aiming to pr...

It was studied the effect of biostimulants Trichodermin-Bio, Epin-extra, Zircon and Krezatsin on laboratory seed germination growth processes legumes: fodder beans Vizir variety, chickling vetch (grass pea, pea) Ivolga food lentils Linza variety.The use in legumes caused an increase sowing qualities seeds their biometric characteristics.The Epin-extra biostimulator gave best effect. This prepar...

Forage crop–dairy farming is an important agro-industry across the world. This system intensive with high-input forage crops. In United States (US) Southern Great Plains, based primarily on annual grass-type crops in monocropping approaches and requires diverse low-input broadleaf for strengthening its sustainability. Winter canola (Brassica napus L.) pea (Pisum sativum have potential to provid...

Fluazifop is a grass-selective herbicide that appears to act by inhibiting fatty acid synthesis de novo in sensitive species. Results from four different types of experiment show that this inhibition is due to an action of fluazifop on acetyl-CoA carboxylase and not on fatty acid synthetase. The acetyl-CoA carboxylase from sensitive barley (Hordeum vulgare), but not from resistant pea (Pisum sa...
