Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNodulation and Biomass Yield Response of Cowpea to Row Spacing and Phosphorus Fertilizer Application in the Guinea Savanna Agro-Ecological Zone of GhanaAlhassan Bawa, Lukman YussifPhosphorus fertilizer application and planting distance play a major role in the production of shoot, root and nodule dry biomass of cowpea. However, phosphorus is a major limiting nutrient in soils in Ghana. Selection of cowpea varieties that produce good biomass yield under low soil phosphorus or those with high phosphorus response efficiency can be a low input approach in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 23 Jan 2018 · 8,231 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Absorbing Agent on Moisture Reserves of Winter Wheat in the Conditions of Semiprovided Dry Farming Land of the South-East of KazakhstanLaila Klimovna Tabynbayeva, Serik Barmenbekovich Kenenbayev, Meiramgul Shagievna Suleimenova et al.In the conditions of dry-land farming, the leading factor of productivity, which is minimal, is moisture. Soil moisture directly influences the growth of plants by means of aeration, transfer of nutrient substances, absorption and transformation. The main crop acreage of the spike cereals in the south-east of Kazakhstan is located in dry farming lands that are characterized as dry and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 27 May 2017 · 7,406 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Farmers' Income and Soil Environmental Quality through Conservation Agriculture Practice in BangladeshMd. Taj Uddin, Aurup Ratan Dhar, Md. Hammadur RahmanThe study was accomplished for assessing conservation agriculture practice's impact on farmers' income and soil environmental quality in Bangladesh. Majority of the farmers were within the late majority group in terms of adopting this farming practice. Average annual agricultural income of focal farmers was increased at a higher rate compared to proximal and control farmers after adopting this practice. Most … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2017 · 8,654 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Raw Materials for Preparation of Transparent Soil Based on Analytic Hierarchy ProcessJianjun Liu, Yao Wang, Rui Song, Min YeThe application of man-made transparent soil has greatly contributed to the development of the visual research in physical model test. Comparing to the traditional model test, the transparent soil has advantages with respect to transparency, visualization, lower cost and utility et al. However, the transparency of material itself seriously restricted the effect of the results during the model text. This … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 1 Mar 2017 · 7,266 accessesView PDF Cite

This study aims to determine the in-vitro influence of the digestibility of dry matter, digestibility of organic matter, crude protein digestibility, and crude fiber … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 22 Jul 2023 · 5,743 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContrasting Effects of Metal Contaminations and Soil Liming on Cations Exchange Capacity and Global DNA Methylation in Betula papyrifera Populations from a Mining RegionGabriel Theriault, Kabwe NkongoloThe Greater Sudbury Region in Northern Ontario (Canada) has been one of the most contaminated regions in the world. Soil liming with dolomitic limestone applications has decreased significantly the level of soil acidity resulting in forest regeneration. This reclamation process does not affect the level of soil metal contamination but results in metals availability decrement. The coping mechanisms of birch … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2016 · 7,535 accessesView PDF Cite
