ABSTRACT: Salinity is major constraint to tomato production in many regions of the world. Tomato yield reduction is caused by salinity due to its adverse effect on many important physiological processes. The present study was therefore designed to select appropriate salinity level for the growth of tomato plant. Germination of tomato plants were studied under five salinity levels 0, 10, 15, 20, and 30 dSm-1 in the laboratory and the growth performance and biochemical characteristic were studied under pot experiment. Results revealed that germination and seedling growth of tomato were suppressed with increasing salt concentration under laboratory conditions with highest germination (100%) at 0 dSm-1 and lowest germination (55%) were recorded at 30 dSm-1 salinity levels provided that at 10 dSm-1 the seed germination was 93.33%. By subjecting them to salinity five levels of. At 10 dSm.....

ABSTRACT: Urban areas are responsible for 75 per cent of global energy consumption (UNHABITAT, 2007), 80 per cent of global emissions, and as cities continue to grow, they will have a crucial impact on global climate change mitigation efforts (Kirby 2008). Charity means willingness to help others. I thought in summer 2013, to contribute my services to gardening in an urban center (Winnipeg) and gain some insights on successful implementation of mitigation concepts, and ingredients for good practices. Finally, conclusions are drawn from lessons learnt as a contribution for the benefit of the urban society.

ABSTRACT: A pulse planter that is cheap, affordable by rural farmers, easy to maintain and less laborious to use was developed for use in conservation agriculture. The planter was designed and evaluated for no-till conditions. It has the capability of delivering the seeds precisely with uniform depth in the furrow at uniform spacing between the seeds. The planter is incorporated with a coulter to cut residue and thrashes on the soil after clearing. The drive shaft of the planter controls the seed plate shaft through the aid of a bevel gear.The results obtained from the trial tests showed that the planter functioned properly with a seed rate of 0.96 kg/h, the average seed spacing for field test is 28.6 cm and the average percentage of seed damage is 6.84. The field efficiency of 76.8% and average field capacity of 0.67 ha/h were obtained from the test. The estimated cost of the planter is N74,602.

ABSTRACT: Fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is currently a major economic pest of maize in Kenya. The outbreak of FAW was first reported in Bomet County, Kenya in 2017 (FAO, 2017). The pest spread rapidly to all major maize producing regions causing heavy losses affecting food security and trade. The FAW larvae feed on leaf whorls, ears and tassels causing severe damage to maize resulting in total yield loss (De Almeida Sarmento et al., 2002). Therefore, urgent action is needed to prevent further devastating losses to crops and farmers livelihood. Synthetic insecticides have been recommended as immediate solution in case of severe infestations. However, the available insecticides are expensive for poor resource smallholder farmers who are the main maize producers (Cairns........

ABSTRACT: In Paraguay, the bean can become a good option for agricultural diversification, for commercial purposes and for this, changes must be made in the productive system of this item. Based on this, this work was developed, between September and October 2015, with the purpose of evaluating productivity and weeding level of cultivars of bean in response to the spacing between rows. The experimental design used was randomized complete blocks, with an arrangement of subdivided plots 2 x 4, the main plot being the cultivar(Negro and Carioca) and the secondary plot.....

ABSTRACT: This study develop and evaluate empirical models for predicting crown diameter using diameter at breast height of Triplochiton scleroxylon (K. Schum) in Gambari forest reserve and Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria arboretum, Nigeria. One linear and four non-linear models (quadratic, cubic, power and exponential) were examined as functions to model diameters at breast height–crown diameter relationships. Stratified random sampling were used for this study and data collected from a total of 40 sample plots obtained from four age series (1972, 1973, 1974 and 1975) of stands of Triplochiton scleroxylon of size 20m x 20m located within the study sites. Analysis showed that the Linear, Quadratic and the Cubic models performed better with higher R2adj values of 0.750, 0.790 and 0.790 respectively, Coefficient of variation (CV) = -5.39x10-12. Based on the CV, R2adj and.....

ABSTRACT: A feeding trial was conducted to determine the performance and egg quality characteristics of layers fed diets containing graded levels of cashew pulp meal. Cashew pulp meal (CPM) replaced 0, 4, 8, 16, and 32% of dietary maize the diets. Each treatment had 15 birds and 5 birds per replicate, in a Completely Randomized Design. Data collected were feed intake, weight change (final weight less initial weight) and feed conversion ratio (feed intake over dozen of eggs), hen-day production (HDP) and hen-house production (HHP). Egg quality characteristics measured were egg weight, egg shell thickness, egg shape index, shell weight, albumen weight, yolk weight, yolk diameter,.....

ABSTRACT: Intensification of agriculture over the last decades has caused, among others, that the production of agricultural machinery has grown on a large scale. Farm tractors are made of high quality raw materials to further improve field work. The development of materials from which, for example, brake parts are produced in a tractor, is not an easy task, due to the combination of substance composition in the average friction lining. It is necessary to carry out laboratory, and often also complex simulation analyzes. For this you need detailed knowledge about the physical phenomenon being studied. This work aims to bring one of them closer. The paper presents a mathematical description of the forces acting on the vehicle during braking, and calculations of the axle load in various braking scenarios.

ABSTRACT: The effect of moisture content on the physical properties of robusta coffee beans was determined for moisture content levels of 6.0, 12.0, 18.0, 24.0 and 30.0 %( wb). For these moisture content levels, the length, width, thickness and geometric diameter increased linearly with increasing moisture content from 8.493mm to 10.223mm, 5.831mm to 7.163mm, 3.732mm to 4.715 and 5.696mm to 7.015mm for length, width, thickness and geometric mean respectively. Bean mass and 1000-bean mass increased linearly with increased moisture content from 0.1045grams to 0.1678 grams and 108.59 grams to 146.63 grams for bean and 1000-bean masses respectively. Both bulk and particle densities decreased with increasing moisture content of beans from 0.92 𝑔/𝑐𝑚3 to 0.788 𝑔/𝑐𝑚3 and from.....
