This study was conducted to determine the effects of different intercropping design maize/soybean compared with sole cropping, in combination Vitormone (biofertilizer; Azotobacter) during 2012 and 2013. There were four designs used experiment: i) maize soybean, ii) 1 + soybean alternate rows, iii) 2 soybeans rows iv) intra under control application. The experiment laid out a randomized complete...

In recent years, there has been a notable concern on the safety of genetically modified (GM) foods/plants, an important and complex area of research, which demands rigorous standards. Diverse groups including consumers and environmental Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) have suggested that all GM foods/plants should be subjected to long-term animal feeding studies before approval for human c...

The potential RDX contamination of food chain from polluted soil is a significant concern in regards to both human health and environment. Using a hydroponic system and selected soils spiked with RDX, this study disclosed that four crop plant species maize (Zea mays), sorghum (Sorghum sudanese), wheat (Triticum aestivum), and soybean (Glycine max) were capable of RDX uptake with more in aerial ...

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is an important protein source in human diets and animal feeds. The sulphur content of soybean seed proteins, however, is not optimal for ration formulations. Thus, increasing the methionine and cysteine content of soybean seed proteins would enhance the nutritional quality of this widely utilized legume. We have earlier reported the isolation of an 11 kDa delta...

Maize is the major crop in Europe and the second most widely-cultivated genetically modified (GM) crop in the world after soybeans. Maize is one of the only GM crops commercially grown in Europe (along with potato). Since maize is a cross-pollinated crop relying on wind for the dispersal of its pollen, pollen flow between neighboring maize fields is one of the major potential on-farm sources of...

The objective of this study was to compare the nutritional performance of laying hens fed maize grain from event DP-Ø9814Ø-6 (98140; gat4621 and zm-hra genes) and processed soybean meal from soybeans containing event DP-356Ø43-5 (356043; gat4601 and gm-hra genes), individually or in combination, with the performance of hens fed diets containing nontransgenic maize and soybean meal. Healthy pull...

This research was conducted to determine the financial feasibility of growing soybean varieties and their competitiveness in rice-based cropping system Indonesia. The at two locations 2020. results showed that use improved yielded 2.24 t/ha 2.09 t/ha, which higher than using local (non-improved) varieties. financially feasible with Revenue Cost (R/C) ratios 1.88–1.98 Benefit (B/C) 0.88–0.98. so...

This paper provides an economic assessment of the value of using genetically modified (GM) crop technology in agriculture at the farm level. It follows and updates earlier annual studies which examined economic impacts on yields, key costs of production, direct farm income and effects, and impacts on the production base of the 4 main crops of soybeans, corn, cotton and canola. The commercialisa...
