The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of diets containing different amounts of wheat, as a partial or whole substitute for corn, on digestibility, digestive enzyme activities, serum metabolite contents and ruminal fermentation in beef cattle. Four Limousin×LuXi crossbred cattle with a body weight (400±10 kg), fitted with permanent ruminal, proximal duodenal and terminal ileal c...

introduction intercropping plays an important role in agriculture because of beneficial interactions. intercropping of legumes and cereals is an old practice in tropical agriculture dating back to ancient civilization. cereals and other plant intercrops could substantially increase forage quantity and quality and decrease the requirement for protein supplements. intercropping of cereals and oth...

Red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are a potential light source for growing plants in spaceflight systems because of their safety, small mass and volume, wavelength specificity, and longevity. Despite these attractive features, red LEDs must satisfy requirements for plant photosynthesis and photomorphogenesis for successful growth and seed yield. To determine the influence of gallium aluminium ar...

Cereals such as barley and wheat are unable to germinate under anoxic conditions. Data are presented on the utilization of the soluble sugars present in the dry seed of wheat and barley kept under strict anoxia, together with the status of the enzymes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates. The amount of glucose, fructose, and sucrose decreases during the anaerobic treatment, indicating th...

land mines are one of the tragic problems to human security in many countries. among many techniques suggested detecting landmines, plant-based detectors can be used as a reliable tool for unexploded ordnance detection. this study was conducted to determine different concentrations effect of trinitrotoluene (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 and 60 ppm) on germination and early seedling growth of 6 spec...

Intercropping is an old and commonly used agricultural practice involves the cultivation of two or more crops in same area land at time may improve yield, use environmental resources, product quality, soil health. The objective present study was to effect water availability wheat-pea intercrops using agronomic physiological characteristics. experiment conducted farm Aristotle University Thessal...

In this study, the comparative advantage of main agricultural products and its relation to cropping pattern was studied in Ilam Province. For data analyzing the comparative advantage and government policies effects indices, Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) were used. The obtained results for the comparative advantage indices of Domestic Resource Cost (DRC), Social Cost Benefit (SCB) and Net Social ...
