Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArbuscular Mycorrhizae: Under-Tapped Potential Benefits and Perspective on AfricaOsarenkhoe Omorefosa Osemwegie, Charles Oluwaseun Adetunji, Abbot Okotie Oghenekaro et al.Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) is attracting global attention as organic fertilizers and alternatives to chemical fertilizers in crop management practices. Mycorrhizae technology application in Africa is still juvenile compared to other continents in small-to-large scale agriculture and commerce. The sustainable use of AMF technology in in resolving bioremediation, bio-restorations and conservation challenges is currently limited by the paucity of their … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2021 · 6,392 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on Carbon Source Screening Technology for Prevention and Control of Banana Fusarium WiltJin Li, Tingting Duan, Zhong Lin et al.With the spread of banana Fusarium wilt and the aggravation of the damage, it has become the biggest threat to the banana industry. Many studies have shown that bio-organic fertilizer plays an important role in the prevention and control of banana wilt, but most studies focused on biocontrol bacterium screening, not screening carbon sources that could prevent banana wilt, which … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2020 · 7,263 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cocoa Pod Husk Compost Produced Using Rot Fungi on the Growth of Cocoa SeedlingsLaode Asrul, Iradhatullah Rahim, Tutik Kuswinanti et al.Rot fungi have the ability to decompose organic materials into simple compounds or elements as nutrients for plants. In the process, rot fungi produce secondary metabolites and absorb phosphate from their substrates so that the phosphate become available to plants. The purpose of this study was to identify the species of rot fungi isolated from decaying cocoa stems and to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2018 · 8,501 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Bioorganic Preparations and Mineral Fertilizers to the Productivity and Quality of Beetroot in the Subsurface Irrigation in the South-East of KazakhstanTemirzhan Yerkassovich Aitbayev, Bekzat Abiyevich Turegeldiyev, Laura Abdireevna Buribayeva et al.Vegetables are valuable sources of vitamins, organic acids and mineral salts. In Kazakhstan, the consumption rate of vegetables per person is 120 kg per year, where 8 kg is beetroot. Beetroot cultivated area is 7,000 hectares. The yield is 150,000 tons, and the demand is 144,000 tons. Beetroot is one of the most popular and all year round vegetable that … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 10 Jan 2018 · 7,564 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Thermo-Physical Properties of Soil Using Solarisation TechnologyAhmed Abed Gatea Al-Shammary, Abbas Kouzani, Akif Kaynak et al.Soil Thermo-Physical Properties (TPP) depend on heat transfer in the soil. This paper presents a study on different soil solarisation technologies influenced by soil TPP. This study evaluates three factors: The tillage depth for soil at three levels (15, 25 and 45 cm), the number of plastic film at three levels (single, double and without plastic film) and three cases … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 17 Jul 2017 · 7,957 accessesView PDFCite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
