Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a potential crop for organic production that could help meet the demand increase in food products and feed grains, but no efforts have been made to improve sorghum breeding tools, techniques, methods this cropping system. Based on revelations other crops, focal traits their prioritization optimize use likely differs from conventional targets. This study ...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies showed differences in fatty acid (FA) and antioxidant profiles between organic and conventional milk. However, they did not (a) investigate seasonal differences, (b) include non-organic, lowinput systems or (c) compare individual carotenoids, stereoisomers of α-tocopherol or isomers of conjugated linoleic acid. This survey-based study compares milk from three produc...

Detailed knowledge of environmental conditions is required to understand faunal production in coastal seas with topographic and hydrographic complexity. We test the hypothesis that organic biomass and production of subtidal sediment invertebrates throughout the Strait of Georgia, west coast of Canada, can be predicted by depth, substrate type and organic flux modified to reflect lability and ag...

present communication deals with the study of four village fish culture ponds (two wild and two managed ponds) from district hisar of haryana, india was undertaken, to correlate the water quality and biological cycles in ponds with fish production. studies have revealed that the ponds are in good trophic status. chlorides, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, biochemical oxygen demand (bod), pho...

in recent years, in order to enhance the health of agroecosystems, concerns on ecological inputs especially to produce medicinal plants, has been increased. in order to evaluate the effects of winter cover crops on pgprs activities and soil nitrogen content in simultaneous application of organic manures and biological fertilizer in a low input production system of cucurbita pepo under minimum t...
