Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Time of Flooding Occurrence is Critical for Yield Production in Rice and Vary in a Genotype-Dependent MannerJenjira Mongon, Arom Jantasorn, Prateep Oupkaew et al.Flash floods occur in rainfed lowland and flood-prone areas and have a profound incidence on crop yield, which is tightly linked to worldwide food insecurity. The most flooding-threatened crop is rice. Under this condition, rice undergoes anoxic and post-anoxic shock that affects its growth, development capacity and ultimately causes an important grain yield loss. Therefore, the introduction of submergence-tolerant varieties … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2017 · 8,093 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntercropping Agricultural Practices by Improving Maize Early Growth Process: A Bio-Statistical ApproachDago Dougba Noel, Tuo Yalamoussa, Niamien Coffi Jean Magloire et al.Fertile soil pressure represents a crucial concern vis-à-vis of agricultural crop yield improvement in several southern countries. Environmental concerns and soil low fertility as well as a rapid demographic development and as well intensive industrial exploitation with regard ground resource, drastically contribute in reducing agricultural land availability. We believe that multiple culture and/or intercropping experimentation designs, integration in southern countries … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 25 May 2019 · 8,390 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act Activities on Agriculture as Perceived by FarmersS. Thangamalar, S. Kalaivani, S. Palaniswamy, K.R. AshokOut of 66.00% of rural population in India, majority are landless labours depending on the mercy of employment providers for their livelihood. This population is the most vulnerable section to poverty, underemployment, access to development, etc. Therefore the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) has been implemented by the Government of India to improve the living standards of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2016 · 8,167 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractImpacts of Biogas Digestate on Crop Production and the Environment: A Bulgarian Case StudyNicholas Kathijotes, Vera Petrova, Elena Zlatareva et al.The water-energy nexus reveals that large amounts of energy is stored in used water and can be used as an energy source. Anaerobic fermentation is an excellent ecological waste treatment and a way of producing low cost electrical and thermal energy. By using digestate resulting from biogas production instead of synthetic fertilizers derived from natural gas, we can save energy, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 29 May 2015 · 7,553 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Genetic Diversity among Sugarcane Cultivars (Saccharum officinarum L.) using Simple Sequence Repeats MarkersAshutosh Pandey, Rupesh K. Mishra, Shashank Mishra et al.Problem statement: Increasing sugar productivity is the main concern of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) breeding programs. The complexity and size of the sugarcane genome is a major limitation in its genetic improvement. Characterization of sugarcane provides essential information of genetic diversity for breeders utilize for crop improvement. Approach and Results: The objective of this study was to evaluate the microsatellite … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 27 Jan 2012 · 7,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWheat Production and EconomicsElgilany Ahmed, Jamalludin Sulaiman, Saidatulakmal MohdProblem statement: The crop in the irrigated scheme has faced by manifold problems contributed to low level of productivity and high cost of production of wheat. The crop is commonly produced under pump irrigation from the River Nile. In River Nile State (RNS), wheat is grown under the irrigated sector, the State is considered as a suitable environment for producing … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 10,569 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUpdates on Nutritional Diversity in Sphenostylis stenocarpa (Hoechst ex. A. Rich.) Harms. for Food Security and ConservationCatherine Veronica Nnamani, Sunday Adesola Ajayi, Happiness Ogba Oselebe et al.Neglected and underutilized plant genetic resources constitute opportunity for diversification of food and environmental services globally, particularly within communities in developing country. They can provide, in some cases, higher nutrient content than traditional globally accepted staples commonly consumed. Currently, with climate uncertainty and the desire and challenge for sustainably produced food, there is an urgent need to promote crop diversity. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 10 Jul 2018 · 9,336 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Approach to Study Stimulating Effect of the Pre-Sowing Barley Seeds Treatment in the Electromagnetic FieldAliya S. Kasakova, Igor V. Yudaev, Michael G. Fedorishchenko et al.Improvement of the agricultural crops seeds quality with their pre-sowing treatment in the electromagnetic field and the subsequent increase in grain yield and studying the mechanisms of stimulating effects – all those are the important problems of science and practice of the crop-growing sector. The purpose of the presented research was to study the mechanism for increasing the germinating ability … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 4 May 2018 · 7,346 accessesView PDFCite
