Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Barley for the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater in a Hydroponics SystemA.M. Snow, A.E. GhalyBarley was examined for its ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater. The effects of seed sterilization using ethanol and bleach and seed density on germination and plant growth were investigated. Surface sterilization of barley seeds had a negative impact on germination. Increasing the ethanol concentration and/or the bleach concentration reduced the germination percentage. Barley seeds were first germinated in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,484 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Environmental and Health Impacts of High Land Application of Cheese WheyA. E. Ghaly, N.S. Mahmoud, D.G. Rushton, F. ArabA laboratory scale experiment was carried out to study the transformation and transport of nitrogenous compounds in soils receiving high application rates of cheese whey (twice the nitrogen requirement for crops). The experimental apparatus consists of 36 soil columns constructed of 20 cm inside diameter PVC pipes. Three types of soil (sandy loam, loam and sandy clay loam) and three … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAllelopathic Potentialities of Gliricidia sepium and Acacia auriculiformis on the Germination and Seedling Vigour of Maize (Zea mays L.)M. B. OyunDecline in crop yield in cropping and agroforestry system in recent years has been attributed to allelopathic effects. Plants may favourably or adversely affect other plants through allelochemicals, which may be released directly or indirectly from live or dead plants. The objective of this study was to examine and quantify the nature of interference of leaf leachates of Gliricidia sepium … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 9,790 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Rust Emergence in Coffee Plantations using Data Mining: A Systematic ReviewLenin Quiñones Huatangari, Candy Lisbeth Ocaña Zúñiga, Annick Estefany Huaccha Castillo et al.Hemileia vastatrix is a fungus that causes coffee rust disease and, depending on the level of severity, reduces the photosynthetic capacity of the plant and of new shoots, leading to low coffee yields and even death; its symptoms are visible on the leaf. Systems based on computer algorithms have been developed to predict diseases and pests in coffee. The objective … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 31 Mar 2022 · 8,022 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeatures Resistance of Sugar Sorgo (Sorghum Saccharatum (L) Pers.) Varieties to Environmental Stress FactorsMukasheva Danagul, Kirshibayev Yerlan Ahmetkalievich, Baiseitova Gulnaz et al.One of the types of sorghum, the most drought-resistant crop in the world, sugar sorghum (Sorghum Saccharum) is characterized by the fact that, unlike grain and broom sorghum, its stem juice contains more than 10-20% sugars. Because it can be cultivated in the arid southern regions, where it is either unprofitable or impossible to grow sugar beets, the interest in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 5 Feb 2022 · 6,383 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Tradeoffs in Herbicide Resistant Brassica rapa: Effects on Pollen and Ovule Production, Biomass and DevelopmentRobin Bingham, Pamela King, Andrew G. KeckFor decades, herbicides have been used to control weeds and increase crop yields, a practice resulting in a growing number of weeds that are herbicide resistant. Like the problem of antibiotic resistance for medicine, herbicide resistant weeds present a significant agricultural challenge. To meet this challenge, we need management strategies informed by a more complete understanding of the biology of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 20 Jan 2017 · 7,824 accessesView PDFCite
