Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Soil Moisture Sensors under Intelligent Irrigation Systems for Economical Crops in Arid RegionsMohamed Said Abdall El Marazky, Fawzi Said Mohammad, Hussein Mohamed Al-GhobariProblem Statement: In irrigation water management, irrigation water use represents a substantial opportunity for agriculture water savings. Automation of irrigation systems, based on Soil Moisture Sensors Systems (SMSS) has the potential to provide maximum water use efficiency by maintaining soil moisture at optimum levels. Approach: The objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of soil moisture sensors under … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation of Amylolytic Bacteria from Viscera of Labeo rohita (Ham.) and Optimization of Alpha Amylase ExtractionDebabrat Baishya, Hridip Kumar SarmaProblem statement: Fish is largely consumed in the north-eastern part of India resulting in the generation of huge amount of fish viscera in the market places. These waste generated is not properly managed for disposal. Under such circumstances it is necessary to properly utilize this waste regenerating the possibility of environment friendly disposal. Besides, industrially and commercially useful biological products … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 May 2011 · 8,051 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of a Mixture of Thermophilic Enzymes Produced by the Fungus Thermoascus aurantiacus to Enhance the Enzymatic Hydrolysis of the Sugarcane Bagasse CelluloseJ. R. Monte, W. Carvalho, A. M. F. MilagresProblem statement: The production of hydrolytic enzymes by T. aurantiacus has been performed under solid-state fermentations using lignocellulosic materials. The influences of the inoculum size and of the fermentation medium on the production of hemicellulases and cellulases were studied. Filtrates from the cultures were used to hydrolyze a pulp of sugarcane bagasse and the produced enzymes were shown to be … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2010 · 9,212 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Temperature and Storage Time on Shelf Life of Mycoherbicidal Products of Colletotrichum dematium FGCC#20Jaya Singh, A.K. PandeyProblem statement: The storage environment can have a drastic impact on the stabilization of microbial biopesticides. As a general rule, storing microbial preparation at lower temperature increase long term survivelity. Approach: Optimization of shelf life is critically important for biocontrol products containing living microorganisms. Conidia of Colletotrichum dematium, (FGCC#20) a fungal pathogen of the weed, Parthenium hysterophorus were produced in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,901 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuantitative Trait Loci Analysis of Novel Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Tokai 66Y. Yen, A.M. H. Ibrahim, S. Malla et al.Problem Statement: Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) in durable resistant genotype is important for marker-assisted breeding. The study was conducted to identify QTLs linked to FHB resistance in 'Tokai 66', a Japanese genotype. Approach: A cross was made between Tokai 66 and Jagalene and the single seed descend was used to advance the population. The F2:4 and F2:5 populations … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,091 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInterpretive Perspective of Knowledge Management Stance in Agricultural Knowledge Information System to Fostering Research/Extension LinkageIraj MalekmohammadiProblem statement: Knowledge Management (KM) as a "starter" and Agricultural Knowledge Information System (AKIS) act as an "engine" to sustainable development. Approach: This article explored the role of KM as Agricultural Knowledge Initiative (AKI) to link up agricultural research and extension to foster agricultural development. A dominant-less dominant design was applied to describe the KM and AKIS integration frameworks as … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Ambient Gasess on Respiration of Soil Supporting Four Crops in Central Saudi ArabiaAkram Ali, Ahmad Alfarhan, Ibrahim Aldjain, Nagat BokhariThis study was conducted at four localities (Maseef, Naseem, Oleya and Industrial City) in Riyadh city, KSA to determine the effect of increased tropospheric gases on responses of in situ soil respiration (Rs) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Giza 68), broad bean (Vicia faba L. cv. Lara), kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Giza 3) and pea (Pisum sativum … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlants Responses to Nutrients Follow the Saturation Kinetic Typical of Enzyme Systems: Biological, Economical and Environmental ImplicationsR.P. LanaAgricultural efficiency has been associated with high plant productivity. However, it is dependent on fertilizers, which are nonrenewable resources. Crop production response to fertilizers is hyperbolic, following the Michaelis-Menten model and the law of diminishing return. Data of crop production (barley, bean, corn, cotton, soybean and wheat) as a function of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization were analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow-cost in vitro Screening Method for Digestibility of Pet ChewsTimothy J. Bowser, Charles I. Abramson, Dwayne BennettFour pet chew treats from four different manufacturers were tested for digestibility using in vitro tests in artificial gastric (stomach) and intestinal juices. In vitro tests were selected to determine the digestibility of dog chews for humane reasons and were conducted under conditions that were designed to simulate the digestive system of dogs. The purpose of the tests was to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,552 accessesView PDFCite
