Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHard Coal Fly Ash and Silica-Effect of Fine Particulate Matter Deposits on Brassica chinensisChristian Ulrichs, Uwe Schmidt, Tanja Mucha-Pelzer et al.Problem statement: One focus in recent atmospheric pollution research is on fine Particle Matter (PM), especially as result of increasing traffic and anthropogenic activity in urban areas. Here, the impact on animal and human health has been in the center of many studies. Despite the fact that PM depositions can affect plants on the long term, there are only few … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,650 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStomatal Resistance to Low Leaf Water Potential at Different Growth Stages Affects Plant Biomass in Glycine max L.F.B. Adejare, C.E. UmebeseTwo cultivars of Glycine max (L) Merril. (TGX536-02D and TGX 923-2E designated cv.A and cv.B respectively), were subjected to water stress for a period of 7 days at the vegetative (T2), flowering/fruiting (T3) and seed development (T4) stages of growth, with a control (T1). Stress was considered moderate at T2 stage (ψw : -1.53 to -1.57 MPa) and severe at … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 8,353 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHyperspectral Remote Sensing for Tropical Rain ForestKamaruzaman Jusoff, Kasawani IbrahimProblem statement: Sensing, mapping and monitoring the rain forest in forested regions of the world, particularly the tropics, has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years as deforestation and forest degradation account for up to 30% of anthropogenic carbon emissions and are now included in climate change negotiations. Approach: We reviewed the potential for air and spaceborne hyperspectral … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,581 accessesView PDF Cite

Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractMangrove Feedstock Potentials for RuminantHamdi Mayulu, Fandini Meilia Anjani, Khoiru Indana et al.Mangrove forests play an important role in maintaining the health and productivity of coastal ecosystems, as well as providing valuable services such as sequestering atmospheric carbon (blue carbon storage), shoreline protection, protection from natural disasters (floods, storms, tsunamis, and coastal erosion), buffering salinity changes, food supply, provision of feed resources, fuel, building materials, protection of diversity including habitat for local … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2024 · 5,352 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance, Carcass Traits and Quality of Longissimus lumborum muscle of Santa Inês lambsFabio Borba Ferrari, Juliana Lolli Malagoli de Mello, Rodrigo Fortunato de Oliveira et al.The aim of this research was to evaluate carcass traits and meat quality of finishing lambs in pastures with different leaf area index with or without high protein-mineral supplementation. In this study, forty-eight young Santa Inês rams were used, with an average initial body weight of 13.5 kg and an average age of 4 months. For approximately 10 h a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2020 · 7,193 accessesView PDF Cite

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 · 8,502 accessesView PDF Cite

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 · 8,096 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIN-SEASON ASSESSMENT OF WHEAT CROP HEALTH USING VEGETATION INDICES BASED ON GROUND MEASURED HYPER SPECTRAL DATAKhalid Ali Al-Gaadi, Virupakshagouda Patil, ElKamil Tola et al.An experiment on a 50 ha center pivot field was conducted to determine the Vegetation Indices (VI’s) that were helpful in assessing the in-season performance of wheat crop treated with graded levels of irrigation water and fertilizers.
