Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsWhat Accounts for Growth in African AgricultureGuy B. Nkamleu, Kalilou Sylla, Abdoulaye ZononEmpirical relationships between the rates of growth and total factor productivity growth, physical input accumulation, as well as institutional and agro-ecological change is evaluated using an international panel data set on 26 African countries and covering the period 1970-2000. The analysis employs the broader framework provided by empirical growth literature and recent developments in TFP measurement. Results suggest a positive … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimum Fertilization Technology to Improve Crop Productivity of Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni)Mohammad Cholid, Sesanti Basuki, Budi Hariyono et al.Stevia leaves have the potential to be developed as a natural sweetener, a companion to cane sugar, especially for those who need low-calorie intake. Increasing the productivity of stevia plants is approached by increasing plant biomass accumulation through balanced nitrogen fertilization. This research aims to obtain optimal nitrogen fertilization in the cultivation of stevia plants in which the nitrogen derived … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 22 Nov 2024 · 5,111 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Age and Season on in vivo Embryo Production of Friesian Holstein CowsNurul Isnaini, Syafira Aldina Febrianty, Faizal Andri et al.Embryo transfer is one of the leading technologies that is now being applied in an effort to increase the population and productivity of dairy cattle in Indonesia. Several factors may affect embryo production including age and season. In this study, the effects of age and season on in vivo embryo production were evaluated on Friesian Holstein (FH) cows. A total … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 2 Mar 2024 · 5,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence and Risk Factors of Bovine Fascioliasis in Northeastern PeruClavel Diaz-Quevedo, Hugo Frias et al.Bovine fascioliasis in Peru is highly prevalent in almost all regions; however, there are few studies about its prevalence in the region of Amazonas. This research aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with fascioliasis from four livestock basins in the Amazonas region. A total of 941 bovine feces samples were analyzed and a prevalence of 52% was … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 25 Jul 2023 · 5,685 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMarking of Meat Productivity Features in Pairs of bGH, bGHR and bIGF-1 Polymorphic Genes in Aberdeen-Angus CattleLaura Zhanedilovna Dushayeva, Askar Myrzahmetovich Nametov, Indira Saltanovna Beishova et al.The purpose of the study is to identify paired combinations associated with meat productivity in Aberdeen-Angus cattle for the genes of the somatotropin cascade (growth hormone bGH, growth hormone receptor bGHR, insulin-like growth factor-1 bIGF-1). The determination of animal genotypes was carried out by PCR-RFLP. Results of statistical processing was carried out using the software capabilities of "Microsoft Excel 2010" … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2021 · 6,899 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 abstractEffects of Cement Dust on the Physiological Activities of Arabidopsis thalianaSaeid Abu-Romman, Jarrah AlzubiAir pollution exerts detrimental effects on plant ecosystems and restricts agricultural productivity. Cement dust is considered to be one of the most harmful air pollutants of industrial origin and is a limiting factor for plant growth and productivity. This study aims to uncover the impacts of cement dust on photosynthetic pigments, protein content, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation, lipid per oxidation … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 17 Nov 2015 · 8,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparing the Fertility of Soils under Khaya ivorensis Plantation and Regenerated Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem statement: It is widely accepted that conversion of natural forest to other land use types leads to deterioration of soil fertility and increased soil compaction which consequently become degraded secondary forests. Degraded secondary forest or forestland is indicated by low in soil fertility and organic matter due to imbalance input and output from original vegetation. Forest plantation through planting … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 8,509 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHow Does Human Capital Affect on Growth in Different Economies?Mehdi Safdari, Mohammad Shahiki, Zahra SheidaeeProblem statement: The main objective of this study was to investigate how human capital can affect growth in different economies. Approach: For this purpose, we investigated the model, which the growth rate of total factor productivity depends on human capital stock level using a cross-country panel approach for 104 countries in five-year intervals during the 1980-2005. Results: The finding of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLisrel Analysis of Factors for Empowering Producers to Abolish Livelihood Poverty through Optimizing Agricultural Water Resources ManagementFatemeh Panahi, Iraj MalekmohammadiProblem Statement: Most of the projected increase in global population will take place in third world countries that already suffer from water, food, and health problems. Irrigation in developing countries tends to be stereotyped as equity reducing, in competition with other uses for scarce water resources. Agricultural intensification through the practice of irrigation as a strategy for poverty reduction is … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,032 accessesView PDFCite
