ABSTRACT: Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the yield of sawmills in IPHHK CV. Mustika Sari and the effect of wood defects on yield value.The research was carried out in the Wood Forest Products Primary Industry, CV. Mustika Sari with research materials in the form of logs of the type Bangkirai (Shorea laevis), with the number of each class of log diameter as much as 5 sticks. The logs are measured to determine the diameter, length, and volume and then tested to determine the quality. Sawing results in the form of sawn wood are measured based on the size of the sorties and calculated to determine the yield produced. Materials and Methods: The selection of samples of Bengkirai (Shorea laevis) logs in this study was carried out using the Purposive Sampling method (intentional sampling) based on the production process that ran during the study (primary data collection)......

ABSTRACT: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the genetic diversity among common bean cultivars from Kashmir on the basis of seed storage proteins as these are rich in proteins. Eight cultivars i.e Brown Bean (B1), Surbhi (B2), Contender (B3), Beans French Yellow (B4), Kentucky Wonder (B5), Laffa (B6), Early Master Beans (B7) and Painted Lady (B8) of Common beans were characterized using SDS-PAGE. Cultivars showed differences in the banding pattern and staining intensities. Seven bands were observed in Brown Beans (B1) and three minimum number of protein bands in Beans French Yellow (B4) and Kentucky Wonder (B5). The regions were divided as per band intensity. The genetic diversity observed among the cultivars could help in breeding programmes in near future.

ABSTRACT: A research study was carried out to assess the susceptibility of some cereal and leguminous crops to maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) infestation while in store. The produce include: Maize, Sorghum, Rice, Cowpea, Bambara nut and Groundnut. One hundred grams of each produce was placed in separate transparent plastic containers. Each container was released into; twenty pairs of three-day old S. zeamais adults for mating and oviposition. The covers of the plastic container were perforated to enhance proper ventilation. The insects were covered with nylon.....

ABSTRACT: The effects of feeding graded levels of Rice offal (RO) and Palm kernel cake (PKC) mixtures in a ratio of 1:1 on hematological and serum biochemical parameters of rabbit were studied. Thirty six (36) unsexed, mixed breed grower rabbits aged between 5-7 weeks were randomly divided after weight balancing into four treatment groups each of which was further divided into three replicates which were each housed in a separate cage in a Completely Randomized Design. All replicates contained three rabbits each. Four diets were formulated, diet1of which contained zero RO/PKC served as control, while diets 2, 3 and 4 incorporated 12, 24, and 36% RO/PKC mixture respectively. Before commencement of the experiment, the animals were stabilized with long acting Terramycine injection....

ABSTRACT: The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Temperature- Humidity related factors on milk traits of some indigenous breeds of cattle in Nigeria. A total of eighty (80) lactating cows (20 each of Adamawa Gudali, Rahaji, Bokoloji and Bunaji) were used. Data on temperature and relative humidity were used to compute Temperature-Humidity Index (THI). Four levels of temperature were adopted; T26-30˚C, T31 ˚C, T36-40 ˚C and T>40 ˚C. Relative humidity groupings were; R<20%, R21-40%, R41-60%, 61-80% and R61-80%. The ranges of THI used were as follows; THI64, THI 72, THI 76 and THI 84. Data collected on milk traits were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) using SAS software and means with significant differences were separated using Duncan Multiple Range Test. Temperature affected (p<0.05) the traits measured except milk protein, calcium, phosphorus, and iron.....

ABSTRACT: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a herbaceous plant belonging to the familySolanaceae. The general objective of thisstudywas to contribute to the improvement of tomatojuvenilegrowththrough the use of agricultural residues. To this end, several formulations of substrateswere made fromrice bran, sawdust, ricehusks and soil. Then, tomatoseedsweresown in the different formulations made. The resultsobtainedindicatethat the formulations made of carbonizedricehusk and soil, supplemented or not withchickendroppings, have overall the best characteristics. Formulation 49 is the best formulation with 5.00 ± 2.34 leaves/plant ; 13.780 ± 1.171 cm height and a germination rate of 98.00 ± 0.66%. Carbonization of the ricehuskswouldberesponsible for the good characteristics in these formulations. It wouldalsobedesirable to furtherinvestigate the ability of these formulations.....

ABSTRACT: A field to lab experiment was conducted to evaluate the nutritional composition among parents and F1 hybrids in rice. On the field, seven parents namely: FARO 26, FARO 64, FARO 57, FARO 33, FARO 66, FARO 44 and FARO 31 were crossed in all possible combinations to obtain 21 F1 hybrids. The parents and F1 hybrids were evaluated in the field for both quantitative and qualitative traits. Sample of the seeds obtained after evaluating the parents and F1 hybrids were subjected to laboratory analysis to determine their nutritional composition. Parameters assessed include: percentage crude protein, crude fiber, crude fat and moisture content. Results obtained showed that there was significant difference among the entries used

ABSTRACT: Improved rice varieties are important for improving income and food security, however adoption of these varieties has been low in Western Zambia. The objective of this paper was to analyze the factors affecting adoption of improved rice seeds among smallholder farmers in Mongu district of Western Province. Multistage and simple random sampling methods were used to select a sample of 120 smallholder rice farmers across four agricultural camps in Mongu district. A structured questionnaire was used to interview and collect data from the sample households. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a logit regression model to identify determinants of adoption of new improved rice varieties (NIRVs). The results showed that education level of the farmer, extension access,.....
