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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Performance Serum Biochemical and Hematological Parameters of Lambs Fed with Ration Containing Nigella Sativa Meal in Different Feed FormsNisa Nurmilati Barkah, Yuli Retnani, Komang Gede Wiryawan, Annisa RosmaliaNigella Sativa Meal (NSM) as a byproduct from Nigella sativa oil production contains high crude protein, but it is easily converts into ammonia (NH3-N) in the rumen. The processing of feed containing NSM into mash, pellet and wafer forms is expected to optimize the use of NSM as a protein source in feed. The objective of this study was to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 25 Nov 2021 · 6,451 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWearable Photovoltaic Applications as Energy Sources for Everyday DevicesAfonso da Silva Ravasco, Joao Paulo N. Torres, Ricardo LameirinhasSolar technology since its first implementation for energy production has evolved in numerous directions to become part of a normal reality in future energy systems. The people’s energetic consumption changed as well. In the present days, people use portable devices more than ever, such as mobile phones and laptops and to power these portable devices, batteries are used. But what … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2021 · 7,462 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing Lentil Breeding Models for South-East Kazakhstan: Yield, Adaptability, and Protein EnhancementSaikenova Alma Zhumabaevna, Kudaibergenov Mukhtar Sarsenbekovich, Kanatkyzy Makpal et al.This study presents the development of a model for optimizing lentil breeding in the agroclimatic conditions of southeastern Kazakhstan. By evaluating 31 lentil varieties and hybrid populations (F1, F2, and F3), key economically valuable traits such as yield, protein content, drought resistance, and adaptability to mechanized harvesting were identified. A systematic selection process enabled the creation of lentil variety models … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 24 Sep 2025 · 3,201 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractRumen Microbiota Mysteries: Nutrition, Function, and its Impact on Livestock ProductivityHamdi Mayulu, Marry ChristiyantoRuminants are important herbivores in the global food system, serving as primary producers of meat and milk. The productivity of these animals is influenced by the functionality of their digestive organs, namely rumen. The digestion, metabolism and nutrients absorption in the rumen epithelium enhance the host defende mechanisms mechanisms, promoting health and productivity in ruminants. Therefore, this review aimed to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 4 Aug 2025 · 4,069 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAgricultural Crop Disease Detection Using Convolutional Neural NetworksAtsu Alagah Komlavi, Harouna Naroua, Chaibou KadriMitigating food insecurity in Niger is of paramount importance. According to some researchers, agricultural yield is declining. The permanent annual food shortage was estimated to be between 25 and 50%. Loss of cereal agricultural production is caused by pests and plant diseases. Knowing that ordinary techniques became inefficient. Automatic detection of plant diseases using artificial intelligence becomes the best solution. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 24 Jan 2025 · 7,547 accessesView PDFCite
