Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality Herbage Production of Dwarf Napiergrass with Italian Ryegrass Cropping under Digested Effluent Application in Southern Kyushu, JapanHadijah Hasyim, Yasuyuki Ishii, Ahmad Wadi, Sachiko IdotaDigested effluent produced by a biogas-plant contains essential plant nutrients to solve the treated and disposal problems of livestock manure. Dwarf variety of late-heading type (dwarf) napiergrass as a perennial summer crop and intercropping of over-sown Italian ryegrass as an annual winter crop were applied to 3 levels of digested effluent in southern Kyushu from 2007 to 2009. Digested effluent … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2016 · 7,552 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractYear-Round Forage Yield Stability through a System Combining Triple-Maize Crops with Winter Barley in Kyushu, JapanYingkui Yang, Yasuyuki Ishii, Sachiko IdotaReduction of feeding cost for the beef and dairy cow industry is an urgent matter requiring the intensification of summer and winter forage cropping in Kyushu, Japan. Forage maize is a prominent high-yield summer crop in the region, where it used to be sown from late March to early August. Due to global warming, maize cropping in the common hot … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 21 Jan 2016 · 7,296 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponses of Rice to Green Manure and Nitrogen Fertilizer ApplicationMd Safiqul Islam, Nitish Kumar Paul, Md Robiul Alam et al.The effect of green manure and nitrogen fertilizer applications on rice performance and post-harvest nutrient status of the soil was studied at the Regional Wheat Research Station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Shyampur, Rajshahi, Bangladesh. The experiment comprised two sets of treatments: (i) green manure application (Crotalaria jusncea, Sesbania aculeata, Sesbania rostrata,Vigna radiata, and Phaseolus mungo) and (ii) application … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 1 Sep 2015 · 7,973 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Endophytic Treatments on Plant Growth Performance and Disease Incidences in Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) Cultivar JS-335 against Challenge Inoculation with R. solaniJitendra Dalal, Nikhilesh KulkarniEndophytes could be efficient biological control agent in sustainable crop production and offer unique opportunity for crop protection and biological control. Present study was carried out to investigate the effects of indigenous endophytic microorganisms Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp., Burkholderia sp. Streptomyces sp., Actinoplanes sp., Alternaria sp. and Fusarium sp. on plant growth and disease control against challenge inoculation with Rhizoctonia … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2015 · 7,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Land Cover on Streamflow Variability in a Small Iowa Watershed: Assessing Future VulnerabilitiesKeith Schilling, Matthew Streeter, Kasey Hutchinson et al.Agricultural expansion and urbanization, coupled with climate change represent major threats to the sustainability of river ecosystems and infrastructure. In this study, we evaluated how subbasins with different dominant land covers within the 27.5 km2 Clear Creek, IA watershed affect key hydrologic indicators. Hydrologic output from two stream gages and a calibrated Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model were used … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2015 · 8,367 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractImpacts of Biogas Digestate on Crop Production and the Environment: A Bulgarian Case StudyNicholas Kathijotes, Vera Petrova, Elena Zlatareva et al.The water-energy nexus reveals that large amounts of energy is stored in used water and can be used as an energy source. Anaerobic fermentation is an excellent ecological waste treatment and a way of producing low cost electrical and thermal energy. By using digestate resulting from biogas production instead of synthetic fertilizers derived from natural gas, we can save energy, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 29 May 2015 · 7,553 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVING PHOSPHORUS NUTRITION OF COTTONWalter B. Gordon, Larry Murphy, Pawel WiatrakCrop recovery of applied Phosphorus (P) fertilizer can be low, especially during season of low soil temperature, which decreases plant root growth and nutrient uptake. The H2PO4- or HPO4-2 anions readily react with soil cations such as Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe) and Aluminum (Al) to produce various phosphate compounds of very limited water solubility. Specialty Fertilizer Products (SFP), … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 10 May 2014 · 7,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVING 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 accessIn the abstractUSE OF SALINE WATER FOR GREENHOUSE BELL PEPPER (CAPSICUM ANNUUM) PRODUCTIONV. C. Patil, K. A. Al-Gaadi, M. A. Wahb-Allah et al.A greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the response of bell pepper to quality of irrigation water and irrigation regimes. The main treatments included non-saline water (EC-0.5 dS m-1) and saline water (EC-3.5 dS m-1). The sub-treatments included three irrigation regimes (at 100, 80 and 60% of crop Evapotranspiration (ETc)) in combination with three crop growth stages (vegetative, flowering to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 1 Feb 2014 · 8,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECT OF POLYETHYLENE BLACK PLASTIC MULCH ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF TWO SUMMER VEGETABLE CROPS UNDER RAIN-FED CONDITIONS UNDER SEMI-ARID REGION CONDITIONSAtif Y. MahadeenWater use efficiency in agriculture can be enhanced by several strategies mainly by reducing evaporation from the soil surface. The mulching techniques were being used widely in irrigated crop production worldwide. The mulching techniques can be also implemented in summer vegetables production under rain-fed conditions. The current study aimed at evaluating the effect of polyethylene black plastic mulch on growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 29 Jan 2014 · 9,007 accessesView PDFCite
