Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEnhancing Sweet Corn Growth and Yield through the Integrated Application of Bioneensis Biofertilizer and Rice Husk BiocharSumihar Hutapea, Saipul Sihotang, Adi Fathul Qohar et al.Sweet corn is an essential agricultural product in Indonesia and contributes to national food security. Consequently, numerous strategies can be implemented to increase the yield of sweet corn, such as intensified fertilization. While organic fertilizers like biofertilizers and biochar have shown potential to enhance crop growth, their combined effects on sweet corn, particularly under Indonesian conditions, are understudied. This study … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 6 Feb 2026 · 1,929 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEstimation of Genetic Correlations on Sweet Corn Inbred Lines Using SAS Mixed ModelPedram Kashiani, Ghizan SalehProblem statement: Genetic correlations among traits refer to the extent of relatedness among them due to genetic causes. Estimating genetic correlations for quantitative traits is tedious if done manually. Approach: However, the use of the computer software SAS, applying mixed-model analysis of variance has facilitated many recent studies in evolutionary quantitative genetics. Results: In this two-way statistical model, the variance … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Municipal Solid Waste Compost on the Growth and Production of Vegetable CropsA.E. Ghaly, F.N. AlkoaikProblem statement: MSW has traditionally been dealt with thorough the practice of land filling and incineration. However, deleterious environmental impacts have promoted municipalities in Canada to recycle non-putrescible wastes and compost the putrescible ones. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of MSW compost on the growth and production of three vegetable crops (potatoes, corn and squash). Approach: Each crop … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,798 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical Compositions and Resistant Starch Content in Starchy FoodsAnuchita MoongngarmResistant Starch (RS) is one of nature’s most interesting bioactive compounds. There is a wide variety of starchy food plants in Thailand that are good sources of RS, but they have not been well studied. As such, this study was carried out to investigate the potential food source of RS. Twenty-two promising food plants were selected. The samples included (1) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Mar 2013 · 15,775 accessesView PDFCite
