La evaluación de los cambios a nivel edáfico debido la implementación diferentes prácticas manejo requiere el análisis variables distinta naturaleza. El objetivo este trabajo fue determinar las variaciones anuales en propiedades y macrofauna del suelo, interacciones entre ambas, secuencias rotacionales con sin cultivos cobertura (CC). Se trabajó un experimento instalado localidad Zavalla (Santa...

ABSTRACT Background Antibiotic resistance makes antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) agents an alternative for treatment of pathogenic diseases. They are isolated from various animals invertebrates, vertebrates and plants. The present study shows the electrophoretic pattern of protein and peptides from Vicia Faba seed and reports our first attempt to study the antibacterial activity of Vicia faba...

The ability of indigenous rhizobia to nodulate a legume crop effectively was critical to successful establishment and growth of legumes. This study was aimed to evaluate the symbiotic effectiveness along with growth responses to varied conditionslike pH, salt, temperature, antibiotics, and carbon and nitrogen sourcesfor rhizobial isolates nodulating faba bean from Tahtay Koraro, northwestern Zo...

GeorGieva, N., i. Nikolova, T. ZhelyaZkova, D. Pavlov and y. NayDeNova, 2011. Energy efficiency of spring vetch (Vicia sativa l.) cultivated for fresh biomass. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 17: 612-720 Field experiment with spring vetch, cultivated for fresh biomass was conducted for establishing productivity, composition, nutritive value and energy efficiency under the influence of different growth re...

Faba beans (Vicia faba L.) represent an essential source of food protein for many people in Sudan, especially those who cannot afford to buy animal meat. The demand for faba bean seeds is greatly increased in recent years, and consequently its production area was extended southward where the climate is marginally suitable. Therefore, this study was aimed to evaluate seed yield and nutritional q...

Inoculation of legume seeds with Rhizobium affects soil microbial community and processes, especially in the rhizosphere. This study aimed at assessing the effect of Rhizobium inoculation on microbial activity in the faba bean rhizosphere during the growing season in a field experiment on a Haplic Luvisol derived from loess. Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) seeds were non-inoculated (NI) or inoculated...

Cover crop benefits include nitrogen accumulation and retention, weed suppression, organic matter maintenance, and reduced erosion. Organic farmers need region-specific information on winter cover crop performance to effectively integrate cover crops into their crop rotations. Our research objective was to compare cover crop seeding mixtures, planting dates, and termination dates on performance...

The three-dimensional structure of narbonin, a seed protein from Vicia narbonensis L, has been determined at 1.8 A resolution. Phase information was obtained by multiple isomorphous replacement and optimized anomalous dispersion. The narbonin structure was initially traced with only 17% amino-acid sequence information and preliminarily refined to a crystallographic R-factor of 16.5%. It is now ...

Efficient methods to explore plant agro-biodiversity for climate change adaptive traits are urgently required. The focused identification of germplasm strategy (FIGS) is one such approach. FIGS works on the premise that germplasm is likely to reflect the selection pressures of the environment in which it developed. Environmental parameters describing plant germplasm collection sites are used as...
