Majority (67%) of WB irrigations monitored were under irrigated while large number (50%) of NB irrigation were over irrigated. Simulation modelling showed that achievement of above 90% Potential Application Efficiency (PAE) is possible by improving operation (inflow rate and time to irrigation cut-off) and field des...

Highest and close symmetry between phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variances while lower values of environmental coefficient variance were observed for all the studied attributes which reflected that these traits were genetically controlled and under less influence of environment. Higher ...

However, 19th day irrigation interval significantly improved seed cotton yield and fiber quality traits (fiber length, fiber strength, micronaire, and fiber uniformity). Likewise, phosphorus at 150 kg ha-1 significantly improved see...

These indices were compared with the manufacturer data and available technical standards. A test bench was developed to measures the flow of emitters at different operating pressures. Data was consequently used for evaluating the hydraulic flow characteristics. Nine types of emitters...

Among these clusters, cluster I and VII were largest each having nine and eight genotypes respectively, followed by cluster VI having seven genotypes. According to the illustrations by using hierarchical cluster analysis, total genotypes were grouped in seven clusters with 11 genotypes in cluster VI after that clus...

Coat color or pattern uniformity is one of the obvious outermost characteristics representing the quality of livestock breeds. Bali cattle have well known for their coat color or pattern uniformity standard and yet there are still found some irregularities in albino, injin, gading, bang, poleng, mores, panjut, and cundang. The MC1R (Melanocortin 1 Receptor) gene plays an important role in the pigmentation process and its ...

In the SRB (sulforhodamine B) assay, CS-NPs, and CS-LZ-NPs showed no toxicity at concentrations ranging from 50 to 450 µg/mL for both nanoparticles. The MIC of CS-NPS and CS-LZ-NPS were 2.5 mg/mL and 0.312 mg/mL, respectively. As well, the number of viable E. coli O157 in fillets with CS-NPs and CS- LZ-NPs gradually dec...

...ect body weight and high uniformity of the flock at point of lay provide the platform for the maximum expression of genetic potential for production performance and egg shell quality over the laying period. In contrast deviations in body weight are not necessarily associated with lower egg production, but are likely to be associated with significant losses due to compromised egg shell quality.

The CON and LES treatments produced comparable results. Although diluted diets were comparatively economical than CON commercial diet, however more feed scale was offered to birds in diluted treatments which neutralized the benefits of low cost diluted diets. To sum up, 10% dilution is viable in commercial rearing while ...
