ABSTRACT: Background: Water and nitrogen (N) are the important compounds in plant production and its deficit is a growth limiting factor. Materials and Methods: A field trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of three nitrogen fertilization applied at different rates (0, 100 and 200 kg N/ha) of three wheat (Triticum turgidum var. durum) cultivars (Maali, Selim and Nasr) under the same cropping practices (sowing date, seeding rate, row space and seeding depth). Durum wheat response was assessed under supplemental irrigation and rainfed conditions. Plant number/m² (PN), tillers number/plant (NT), spike number/m² (SN), kernel number/spike (KN), thousand kernel weight (TKW), fresh weight shoot (FWS), dry weight shoot (DWS) and height plant (HP) were studied. Results: Variance analysis showed that all traits......

ABSTRACT: Background:Combining ability effects are very effective genetic parameters in deciding the next phase of breeding programs. This work was undertaken to examine the quality of seeds in six genetically diverse barley parents, and evaluate their general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) effects toward determining the seed quality. Materials and Methods: In the present study, plant material consisted of a set of six diverse genotypes of spring barley (Hordeumvulgare L.), namely Martin, Taj, Ardhaoui, Sahli, Rihane and Salmas crossed in a complete diallel design and their thirty F1 crosses. All these 30 F1 hybrids along with their six parental cultivars were planted in complete randomized block design (CRBD) with three replications under rainfed conditions at the National Agricultural Research Institute of Tunisia (INRAT) research at sub-humid Beja location. Results: The analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among the parents and their F1 hybrids for all the traits. Highly significant genotypic.......

ABSTRACT: Background: The impetus behind wildlife geophagy has not only remained a mystery but continued to gain scientists attention lately. To this day, lucking around natural saltlicks (NSs) for hunting or poaching on geophagic animals is not uncommon among hunters, especially in a protected area. Although, hunters' reasons for doing so may seem obvious but their experience over the years had not only suffered neglect but also lack of documentation. Perhaps, understanding this experience may help unravel the geophagic impetus. This study therefore focused on the collection of information on the existing knowledge of hunter-wildlife-saltlick relationships in Old Oyo National Park (OONP).......

ABSTRACT: To overcome the scarcity of fertilizers and feed in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic, where the distribution of fertilizers and feed to farmers and breeders was hampered. Communities to overcome this problem can make alternative fertilizers and feed from organic waste that comes from daily leftovers. Organic waste originating from household waste and organic waste has not been utilized properly. The community is still united with organic waste and inorganic waste which is then burned, this results in the environment being exposed to carbon dioxide from the waste incineration system. Empowerment of pilot communities to process organic waste as compost and maggot cultivation for native chickens was carried out in Nyalindung Village, Nyalindung District, Sukabumi City, West Java Province.

ABSTRACT: A six months local cat breed, with a history of anorexia, fever, depression, and multiple clear subcutaneous nodules on the shoulder area located at both sides was presented to the consultant veterinary clinic. Complete clinical examinations have been applied to the diseased cat and a clinical diagnosis of panniculitis was suspected. Blood mixed with EDTA was drained from the cephalic vein for a complete blood picture. The suspected nodules are firm painful to touch and had progressively worsened, and developing purulent discharge from draining tracts. Moreover, The nodules had a large, irregular, non-coalescing shape extending from the shoulder area down to the flanks region, Furthermore, The skin overlying the

ABSTRACT: The quality of the coffee, as well as the attributes present in the drink, make them differentiated coffees, the set of these characteristics being decisive factors in commercialization, adding greater value to the product. Faced with this scenario, producers and coffee growers, new methods and processing are necessary in order to enhance and or maintain the quality of this drink. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the enzymatic complex LNF CNA + CNB, on the final quality of arabica coffee. The research was carried out at Fazenda Recanto, located in the municipality of Machado, South of Minas Gerais. After the harvest, the beans were mechanically peeled, the coffees with mucilage adhered to the fruits were divided into 5 treatments, being: T1 directly to the yard.......

ABSTRACT: A field trial was carried out in Enugu State University of Science and Technology, research farm to evaluate the genetic variability of nine genotypes of castor bean plant. Eight (8) accessions were selected from different areas within the agro-ecological zone under study, while a standard check was obtained from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. The study was carried out using a randomized complete block design with four replications. Genotypes grouping techniques was used to characterize the genotypes on group basis. Data was collected on number of pods/plant, 100 seed weight, capsule yield, seed yield/ plant and seed yield/plot. The results of the study showed that Zaria accession in......

ABSTRACT: Background: Picrasmajavanica can be categorized as a medicinal plant due to its chemical components. This study was performed to analyze the effect of fertilizer to P.javanica Bl. in order to improve the yield of this plant grown under drought stress conditions. Drought is a major environmental constraint for agriculture that affects the growth and development of plants. Materials and Methods: The research was arranged in a completely randomized design with two factor treatments, drought stress and organic fertilizers. The drought stress treatment was comprised in the four levels of watering period, i.e watering every day, 4 days, and 7 days. The organic fertilizer treatments consisted of three type of growth medium, i.e soil only without......
