The experiment was conducted at Khairahani-5, Chitwan, Nepal from 28th February to 20th June 2021. Twenty single cross maize hybrids were evaluated for quantitative and qualitative traits. in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Data recorded on flowering traits, physiological disease agro-morphological yield contributing Analysis of variance showed significant dif...

The sufficient supply of N-fertilizer in maize crop is imperative for optimum performance. However, timing application this nutrient may create variation yield performances the crop. A field experiment was conducted during 2021 raining season to investigate effect time on growth and three cultivars at Prince Abubakar Audu University Research Demonstration farm, Anyigba. experiments which were l...

Field experiments were conducted to evaluate plant population and N-fertilizer effects on yield and yield components of maize (Zea mays L.). Three levels of plant populations (53000, 66000, and 800,000 plants ha⁻¹ corresponding to spacings of 75 × 25, 60 × 25, and 50 × 25 cm) and 4 doses of N (100, 140, 180, and 220 kg ha⁻¹) were the treatment variables. Results revealed that plant growth, ligh...

In this work, Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains PE-2 and CAT-1, commonly used in the Brazilian fuel ethanol industry, were engineered for xylose fermentation, where the first fermented xylose faster than the latter, but also produced considerable amounts of xylitol. An engineered PE-2 strain (MEC1121) efficiently consumed xylose in presence of inhibitors both in synthetic and corn-cob hydrolysat...

Large scale biofuel production will be possible only if significant quantities of biomass feedstock can be stored, transported, and processed in an economic and sustainable manner. Torrefaction has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of transportation, storage, and downstream processing through the improvement of physical and chemical characteristics of biomass. The main objective of...

Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz is an oilseed crop with favorable potentials for biodiesel production, such as the high plant yield, oil content in seed, net energy ratio, and low production cost. This review paper deals present state perspectives of from camelina oil. First, important issues seed pretreatment are reviewed. Emphasis given to different technologies that have been used so far worldwi...

This field experiment was conducted during the 2021 cropping season at Prince Abubakar Audu University Research and Demonstration farm, Anyigba in Southern Guinea Savana Agro Ecological Zone of Nigeria to determine performance maize varieties under influence NPK 20:10:10 Urea fertilizer application. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) used with three replications. The treatment consisted ...
