Improper management of cotton dust wastes creates environmental pollution as well different health problems. Cotton waste contains important nutrient elements that can meet the need for micronutrients crop plants will be a potential replacement chemical fertilizers. In this study, it was to produce further utilization compost plant raw materials and analyzed compared various parameters in matur...

Management regimes of varying types and intensities can have profound impacts on grassland soil quality. Plus, there has recently been increased interest in finding soil quality indicators that are reflective of historical and current land management. We surveyed soil quality of privately owned grasslands in northeastern Kansas differing in their cultivation histories and current land-use (cool...

Drought is the main abiotic factor limiting more than 70% of the arable land around the world. Ethylene, a plant hormone, has often been observed to increase under environmentally unfavorable conditions, resulting in abscission of leaves and fruiting forms and ultimately in yield reduction. Concerning cotton, however, the effects of water-deficit stress on ethylene production have been uncertai...

In India, the area under transgenic crop cultivation has witnessed a phenomenal growth from 1.3 million hectares in 2005 to 3.8 million hectares in 2006, which is an increase of about 300 % in a year period (James 2006). Till March 2005, a total of 20 Bt-transgenic cotton hybrids have been released for commercial cultivation in northern, western and southern regions of India (Sharma et al. 2006...

The Arabidopsis gene AVP1 encodes a vacuolar pyrophosphatase that functions as a proton pump on the vacuolar membrane. Overexpression of AVP1 in Arabidopsis, tomato and rice enhances plant performance under salt and drought stress conditions, because up-regulation of the type I H+-PPase from Arabidopsis may result in a higher proton electrochemical gradient, which facilitates enhanced sequester...

The use of soil as one the main factors in manufacture agricultural products for human consumption must be carried out using right basis and scientific principles. One ways to achieve this important goal is assess land suitability common crops study area. It also necessary determine product compatibility based on climate conditions reduce risk investment because there no history studied plant’s...

Large-scale dairy farms around Damascus do not have enough land for forage cultivation mainly due to high price of land, allocation of land for vegetable production, which is more economically important than fodder cultivation and unfavourable climatic factors. Farms are therefore forced to transport roughage from distant crop cultivating areas. In the case of the dairy farm described in this w...

The delineation of shifting cultivation landscapes using remote sensing in mountainous regions is challenging. On the one hand, there are difficulties related to the distinction of forest and fallow forest classes as occurring in a shifting cultivation landscape in mountainous regions. On the other hand, the dynamic nature of the shifting cultivation system poses problems to the delineation of ...

To document trends in land use and herbaceous production, 71 field sites sampled among cropped fields, fallow fields and rangelands in the Fakara region (Niger) were monitored from 1994 to 2006. The overall trend in land use confirmed the historical increase of the cropped areas since mid 20th century, at an annual rate of 2% from 1994 to 2006. This trend is the result of changes in the relativ...

Development of agriculture depends on optimal land allocation. The development towards optimal utilization of land under cultivation and thereby increasing the production of crops and profit with less fertilizer consumption have to be taken into consideration in agriculture planning. In this paper different agriculture strategies are developed and accordingly, single objective optimization mode...
