Although the nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) is a widely used indicator of plant nitrogenstatus, no model of NNI calculation for spring barley (Hordeum vulgare) reflecting also specificmalting requirements on grain has been published. The aim of this study was to determinean optimal range of the nitrogen nutrition index (ratio of nitrogen concentration in shootbiomass to critical nitrogen concen...

introduction: providing the nutritional requirements of agricultural crops by non-chemical resources is a new approach in the organic farming that has attracted the attention of both the researchers and the consumers in recent years. therefore, it is highly important to find new fertilizer resources that are both economically able to provide the nutritional needs of the crop plants and have no ...

phytic acid is a major storage form of phosphorous in cereals that acts as food inhibitor by chelating micronutrients and prevents it to be bioavailabe for monogastric animals, including humans. ninety three wheat (triticum aestivum l.) germplasms, including cultivars from india, were characterized for phytic acid and fe contents. phytic acid contents ranged from 0.59 (iitr 92) to 2.08% (iitr 2...

Background: Food security has been a target in India since its independence; the primary aim of food security is to ensure enough staple food for the entire population. Although substantial progress was made through the adoption of green revolution (GR) technologies and implementation of the food public distribution system (PDS), desirable food and nutrition security, as defined by the food and...

Wheat grains and its fractions contain significant level of antioxidant activity and many phytochemicals, such as phenolic acids (ferulic and vanillic acids), carotenoids, and tocopherol are beneficial in curing many disorders. The beneficial phytochemicals are mostly present in aleurone fraction of wheat bran. The phytochemicals and antioxidants present in wheat have several health benefits, s...

Synopsis. Campbell and Campbell (2006) base their recommendations on the results of their extensive assessment of the nutrition habits of the Chinese, along with their associated health outcomes. They offer eight principles of considering nutrition, some of which are as follows: nutrition involves consumption of many food substances; nutrients obtained from plants are similar to those obtained ...

Aim. The goal of this work was to study the effect drought in critical phase ontogenesis on growth and productivity breed winter wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L.). Methods. Wheat cultivars Darunok Podillya Podolyanka were grown under optimal nutrition well-water conditions until earing-flowering phase, after that experimental transferred regime for 8 days, water supply restored end vegetation...

Wheat-derived foodstuffs represent about one-fifth of the calories consumed by humans worldwide. Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops throughout the world, and it has been extensively studied for its allelopathic potential. In contrast, for allelopathy in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum), our knowledge is partial and fragmentary. Through highlighting r...
