ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to find the optimal economic management of agricultural production, by minimizing the use of available water resources. The plain of Magnesia prefecture was chosen for this study, as it constitutes the most representative part of the plains of Greece. The method of Multi-criteria Analysis and more specific the Compromise Programming was used for the optimization of the agricultural production. The aim was to find the relatively optimal solution by evaluating alternative crop restructuring scenarios for the irrigation network. The result of this research is the final optimal restructuring of crops in irrigation network that brings all the benefits of using it, in both economic and environmental terms...

ABSTRACT: Phytogenic feed additives (PFA), comprising of herbs, spices, essential oils, plant extracts and products derived thereof have gained considerable importance in view of the worldwide ban on the inclusion of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in food animals. PFA have also been reported to influence meat and carcass quality traits in animals. The present study was aimed at comparing the effects of a PFA and an AGP on carcass traits in broilers. A 39-day trial was conducted with an as-hatched flock of 432-day-old Cobb 400 broilers. Chicks were randomly assigned to three dietary treatments with 12 replications per treatment and 12 birds per replicate. The three dietary treatments comprised of a control (basal diet), AGP (basal.........

ABSTRACT: Bruising, morphological distortion, decaying, discolouration and mycotoxin production instored melon seedsensued partly as a result of several microbial activities within the storage environment. Shelled and unshelled melon seeds were collected from store houses in local markets within Lagos, Nigeria. Disease diagnosis, characterization andLaboratory analysis were conducted on samples collected.Absidia corymbifera and Penicillium spp caused decay and mummification of unshelled melon seeds, Cladosporium spp and Aspergillus fumigatus degraded the unshelled seed hilum, while A. flavus, Curvularia spp and Cladosporium spp caused tanning.......

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to analyze the relationships between relationship marketing, ethics and performance of soyabean traders in Benue State, Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was used in selecting 120 soyabean traders for the study. Primary data was used via the administration of questionnaire in the study area. Data collected was carried out with the aid of SEM. The Comparative Fit Index (CFI) of 0.846 was close to 1 which indicates a better fit for the relationship marketing, ethics and performance model. The standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) value of 0.076 is the difference between the observed correlation and the model implied correlation matrix. This value is close to 0, which indicates good model fit for the study. The three paths covariance (i.e., Cov [RMKT, ETHICS], Cov [ETHICS, PERF] and Cov [RMKT, PERF]) were significant at 1%........

ABSTRACT: En el Norte de Corrientes el sistema ganadero predominante es la cría extensiva. En la gran mayoría de los rodeos bovinos hay un predominio de animales cuya raza es una cruza con diferente porcentaje de sangre entre Aberdeen Angus (cebú) y Hereford. En menor medida pueden encontrarse razas criollas u otras. Dos ambientes característicos de esta región abarcan gran parte de su territorio: los campos bajos con alto nivel de anegamiento y los pastizales del tipo pajonal. En ambos predominan las especies de baja calidad forrajera cuyo crecimiento se concentra en la estación primavero-estival (aproximadamente el 70%). La distribución estacional del forraje.......

ABSTRACT: This study focused on the productivity and technical efficiency of cassava production in Ogun State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling procedure was employed to collect data from 120 sampled respondents which were purposively and randomly selected. Primary data were used through the use of structured questionnaires. Descriptive analytical techniques, multiple regression analysis and budgetary analysis were employed for data analysis. The result of the study showed that majority of the respondents (80.8%) are male and the age of the majority (55.8%) falls within 31-50 years. About 82.5% of the respondents in the study area are married and about (36.7%) of the respondents are literate and majority (55.8%) of them had between 21-40 years of farming experience. The maximum Likelihood Estimates revealed that the planted size, expenses on other planting materials and labour are critical.....

ABSTRACT: Phalaenopsis amabilis (L.) Bl. is a native orchid from Indonesia and one of Indonesia's national flowers, included in the list of endangered species. P. amabilis is also one of the orchid plants that is in high demand by various community groups, but P. amabilis production in Indonesia is still lagging behind other countries such as Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore and Australia.The obstacle faced in the growth of the orchid of the month is fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum (Fo) which until now has not been effectively overcome. Aside from disease, inadequate water availability is a problem for orchid farmers.Drought stress in plants can result in slow increase in leaf area and affect stomata or photosynthesis in leaves and at mild to moderate levels can reduce plant productivity. The use of high yielding varieties that are resistant to Fo and drought with high yields is an important alternative for disease control and drought stress and does not cause negative impacts.The purpose of this study was to determine the specific expression character of P. amabilis leaflets resistant to fusaric......

ABSTRACT: The research aimed to evaluate sesame production with different planting densities in the SH1El variety. The experiment was implemented in the district of Horqueta, Paraguay, from October 2016 to February 2017. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks, five treatments with four repetitions were used. The treatments consisted of different numbers of plants in planting T1: 10, T2: 15, T3: 20, T4: 25 and T5: 30 plants per linear meter. The variables evaluated were plant height, number of capsules, weight of 1000 seeds and yield. The data obtained from each variable studied were subjected to analysis of variance (ANAVA).

ABSTRACT: This study was aimed to determine the yield of some maize varieties grown under different planting systems on dry land of Northern Lombok, Indonesia. The experiment was designed using a completely randomized block design, with two factors, namely maize variety and number of maize population which is realized from row spacing. The maize variety factor consist of 4 composite varieties (P4IS, Gumarang, Lamuru and Sukmaraga), and one hybrid variety (NK212). The row spacing factor consist of 5 types, namely 4 types of single row spacing (20x70 cm or 71428 plant/ha, 20x60 cm or 83333 plant/ha, 15x70 cm or 95238, and 15x60 cm or 111111 plant/ha), and double rows spacing ("jarwo"), that is 2:1 (20x35)x70 cm or 107142 plant/ha. The yield of maize was determined through dry seed weight per plot. Data collected were analyzed using analysis of variance at 5% level. The difference.......

ABSTRACT: It is important to recognize the role of natural enemies (predators) and botanical pesticides in agriculture. Excessive use of synthetic insecticides has caused resistance in many agricultural pests. This has prompt researchers to focus more on botanical extracts due to itssynergic compatibility with natural enemies such as predators and parasitoids. This study was done to determine the compatibility of Chili and Tobacco extracts against Diamondback moth (Plutella. xylostellaL.).P. xylostellais a very destructive pest at the cabbage farm of Papua New Guinea University of Natural Resources & Environment (PNG UNRE). Due to its resistance with synthetic insecticide Karate®, it is impossible to control it with any other chemical pesticides. Therefore, the two locally abundant plant extracts, chili and tobacco were investigated for their impact on P. xylostellaabundance. And also, the extracts were tested for their compatibility to predators, Red ant (Wasmaniaauropunctata) and......

ABSTRACT:Kojic acid is a kind of weak acid compound produced by aerobic fermentation by some strains of aspergillus using glucose, fructose, sorbitose and sugar alcohol and other raw materials.Kojic acid was widely used as a food additivefor preventing enzymatic browning. In this paper, we studiedthe preservation of tropical fruits papaya and wax applewith kojic acid. The kojic acid-treated papaya couldbe stored for 8~10d, which was prolonged 4~5d than the untreated. The same preservation effective exists when using kojic acid painted wax apple.In addition, results showed that kojic acid couldeffectivelyprevent banana juice from browning
