Dual-use cover crops as forage for livestock could offer ecological and economic benefits when incorporated into rotations with corn (Zea mays L.) soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) in the Mid-South USA; however, information on implementation impact is limited. A factorial of sixteen cool-season species a no-cover control by two management systems (forage harvest residue left field) was repeated u...

During the kharif season of 2020-22, a field experiment with soybean in soybean-wheat cropping system was conducted at ICAR-Indian Institute Soil Science, Bhopal, (M.P.) to assess effect different levels crop residue retention treatments and nutrient doses on growth parameters, physiological indices, yield attributes, profitability soybean. The laid out Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) ...

crop residues management is one of the most important factors to sustain agro-ecosystems. application of plant residues as organic fertilizers has functional role on the amount of soil elements, their availability for crops and finally yield obtained. in order to investigate the effect of different crop residues and their management on providing wheat potassium requirement, a four-replicated fi...

We determined the effects of crop residue on the persistence of an entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae. During 2 consecutive years, nematodes were applied at rates of 2.5 x 10 and 1.0 x 10 infective juveniles/m(2) to small field plots planted with corn. Nematode persistence was monitored by exposing Galleria mellonella larvae to soil samples from plots with and without crop resid...

The mycelia polysaccharides from Morchella esculenta are active ingredients in a number of medicines that play important roles in immunity improvement and tumor growth inhibition. So far, the production of polysaccharides from M. esculenta mycelia has not been commercialized. The aims of this work were to screen and optimize the fermentation conditions to produce mycelia polysaccharides from us...

Conservation agriculture (CA), comprising of minimum soil disturbance and crop residue retention (>30%), with a diversified cropping system, has become increasingly popular around the world. It is recognized as sustainable practice to improve health by augmenting key properties. However, scanty information exists about effect CA practices on organic carbon (SOC), aggregation greenhouse gas e...

In order to investigating the effect of different tobacco cultivars residue on germination and seeding growth of soybean an experiment was conducted at laboratory and glasshouse in college of Sari Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University during 2007 as a factorial based on completely randomized design with four replications. Extracts of root and shoot from two different types of t...

Three rumen and duodenum fistulated dairy cows were used to determine the effects of fat and methionine addition to soybean meal on rumen degradation of crude protein, the amino acid pattern and the intestinal digestibility of undegraded residues. The addition of 10% and 25% fat resulted in lower DM degradation after 8 and 24 h of incubation. Protein degradation was reduced by 10% fat addition ...
