ABSTRACT: The ability of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) to improve plant growth is largely study but due to their large distribution across agro-ecolycals region in the world, more work still necessary to understand their functioning according to their origin, host plant and strain. Nursery experiments were conducted to study the response of Onion (Allium cepa L.) plant to the inoculation of five arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) from Cameroon and England. Onion plants grown in pots in sterilized soil/sand substrate were inoculated with Glomus hoï, Glomus clarum, Glomus intraradices, Glomus sp. and Gigaspora margarita provided by the Department of Biological Sciences........

ABSTRACT: The present research work was conducted to compare the efficacy of estrus synchronization protocols i.e., Ovsynch and cosynch in kundhi buffaloheifers with reference to occurrence of estrus and conception rate. Thirty buffalo heifers were selected randomly at different farms of tando jam, Distt: Hyderabad. All the experimental heiferswere divided into two groups. Animals in Ovsynch group (n=15) received 02 ml Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) on day 0 and day 9. On day 7, 05ml Prostaglandin (PGF2α) was administered and fixed timed artificial insemination (FTA) was performed at 12 hours after last injection of (GnRH). In Cosynch group animals (n=15) received same treatment but artificial insemination was performed at a time when last injection of (GnRH) was administered. Estrus response were showed significant difference (P<0.05) among the treatment..............

ABSTRACT: Sustainability of chilling plants is based on active participation by its members. Despite government and non-governmental organizations' support of chilling plants in dairy organizations, some farmers are still reluctant to participate in dairy organizations, and some of the farmers who participate in small-scale chilling plants are not loyal and end up supplying their milk to middlemen and other traders. This study sought to model the dairy farmers' participation in small-scale milk chilling plants in Nandi County by computing the double hurdle regression model, where nine variables, both socio-economic and institutional factors, were hypothesized to influence the dairy farmer's participation......

ABSTRACT: Pesticides are the main choice for controlling pests, diseases and weeds because they directly kill the body of the disturber. Pesticides can quickly reduce pest populations so that widespread pests can be prevented. But the use of pesticides in horticultural farming efforts, especially for planting oranges, is not excessive in terms of species, composition, dosage, time and interval. Pesticide residues for organophosphate groups are still allowed in plants in predetermined concentrations, especially for vegetables of horticultural commodities the permissible residual concentration limits are 0.5 mg / kg. This study aims to determine the residual levels of organophosphatepesticides in citrus fruits in Poncokusumo District, Malang Regency. This study uses a descriptive survey method . The activity......
