Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Study on the Roles of Predators on Asian Corn Stem Borer, Ostrinia furnacalis Guenee (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)La Daha, Nur Amin, Tamrin AbdullahThe study aimed to investigate the role of predators in preying the larvae and pupae of corn stem borer, Ostrinia furnacalis Guenee (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) was conducted in the farmer corn field during 2011. Two plant hills each of which 6 meter away were prepared one of which unglued and the other one glued for ground and canopy predators. On each … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2016 · 7,655 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEFFECT OF REPLACING CORN AND SOYBEAN MEAL WITH BREWERS RICE AND DRIED DISTILLERS BREWERS YEAST ON PERFORMANCE OF GROWING-FINISHING PIGSOndieki Gekara, Talesha Dokes, Renita MarshallThe objective of this study was to determine the effect of replacing corn and Soybean Meal (SBM) with Brewers Rice (BR) and Dried Distillers Brewers Yeast (DDBY), respectively, on ADG, G:F, Apparent Total Tract Digestibility (ATTD), fecal DM output and fecal loss of N and P of growing-finishing pigs. Sixty four Yorkshire x Duroc x Hampshire crosses (BW = 73±5.7 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 24 Apr 2014 · 7,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIMPROVING PHOSPHORUS NUTRITION OF CORNWalter B. Gordon, Larry Murphy, Pawel WiatrakPhosphorus (P) generally occurs in soils as the anions H2PO4- or HPO4-2 depending on soil pH. These anions readily react with soil cations such as calcium, magnesium, iron and aluminum to produce various phosphate compounds of very limited water solubility. Crop recovery of applied phosphate fertilizer can be quite low during the season of application. In addition, the large amounts … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 18 Mar 2014 · 7,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEVALUATION OF NITROGEN APPLICATION METHODS AND RATES WITH NUTRISPHERE-N ON CORN IN SOUTHEASTERN COASTAL PLAINSPawel WiatrakApplication method of Nitrogen (N) and Nutrisphere-N may influence corn (Zea mays L.) growth and yields under dryland conditions. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of two N application methods (all at planting and split application with 35 kg N ha-1 applied at planting and remaining N at V6 stage) and five N rates (0, 45, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 4 Jan 2014 · 7,297 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEFFECT OF UREA WITH NUTRISPHERE-N POLYMER IN FALL AND SPRING NITROGEN APPLICATIONS FOR CORNPawel Wiatrak, Walter B. GordonPolymer coated urea may be a viable option to improve Nitrogen (N) uptake and corn (Zea mays L.) grain yields, especially in areas with relatively high soil N loss. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of two urea application timings (fall and spring) and three N rates (90, 180 and 270 kg N ha-1) with and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 27 Dec 2013 · 8,150 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePhysical Properties of Corn ResiduesYaning Zhang, A. E. Ghaly, Bingxi LiCorn residues (cobs, leaves and stalks) are abundantly available renewable materials that can be used as an energy source in gasification and combustion systems. Proper understanding of the physical properties of these materials is necessary for their use in thermochemical conversion processes. The physical properties (moisture content, particle size, bulk density and porosity) of corn cobs, leaves and stalks were … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 19,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCorn Response to Nitrogen Timing and Rate under Strip Tillage and Low-Yield Environment in Southeastern Coastal PlainsPawel Wiatrak, Ahmad Khalilian, Guihua ChenProblem statement: Insufficient rainfall under low yield environment may affect nitrogen management, plant growth indices and grain yields of corn (Zea mays L.). Approach: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of two N application timings (all at planting and as split application with N applied at planting and V6 stage) and five N fertilizer rates (0, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2011 · 7,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudy on Nitrogen Concentration of Corn HybridsPravin Gautam, Dawn Gustafson, Zeno Wicks IIIProblem statement: Though Nitrogen (N) is vital in different physiological and developmental processes in plants and animals, it poses several environmental, nutritional and health problems, if present in excess amounts. Reduction in excess input of N into the soil, thereby reducing environmental problems and consequently nutritional and health problems, can be achieved by balancing their concentration in animal feed. Therefore, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2011 · 8,273 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEstimation of Genetic Correlations on Sweet Corn Inbred Lines Using SAS Mixed ModelPedram Kashiani, Ghizan SalehProblem statement: Genetic correlations among traits refer to the extent of relatedness among them due to genetic causes. Estimating genetic correlations for quantitative traits is tedious if done manually. Approach: However, the use of the computer software SAS, applying mixed-model analysis of variance has facilitated many recent studies in evolutionary quantitative genetics. Results: In this two-way statistical model, the variance … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTemperature Optimization for Bioethanol Production from Corn Cobs Using Mixed Yeast StrainsClarence S. Yah, Sunny E. Iyuke, Emmanuel I. Unuabonah et al.Problem statement: Dilute sulphuric acid and enzymatic hydrolysis methods were used for sugar extraction. Xylose and glucose sugars were obtained from corn cobs. Approach: Acid hydrolysis of corn cobs gave higher amount of sugars than enzymatic hydrolysis. Results: The results showed that optimal temperature and time for sugar fermentation were approximately 25°C and 50 h by two yeast strains (S. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,339 accessesView PDFCite
