The efficacy of SP has been widely examined against various abiotic and biotic stressors with various crops in controlled field environmental conditions. Among the abiotic stressors, heavy metals and/or metalloids (HMs) are considered as a serious threat to sustainable agriculture. Compared with ...
EgyptThe economics of crop production in the newly reclaimed land of the Nobaria region in Egypt was analysed, using data from a sample of 80 farmers. The findings reflect a decreasing productivity and show that irrigation cost results in a decrease in return; return of fruit and vegetable ...
One of the key tasks of the Sustainable Development Goals connected to Agriculture, Safety and nutritional quality of food is to raise crop production per unit area without compromising the sustainability of agricultural resources and environmental security. Along with environmental constraints, soil salini...
8.In paragraph 3, why does the author provide information about the types of crops grown and boats used in Southeast Asia during the period around 5000 B.C.E.? A. To evaluate the relative importance of agriculture and fishing to early Austronesian peoples B. To illustrate the effectiveness...
HS use in fertilizers and plant biostimulants has grown in recent years and is part of the phytotechnics and current management of various crops in various parts of the world (Olk et al., 2018). Despite this scenario, there is still a need to understand the modes of action and the ...
Prices for both crops were elevated by low world grain stocks, and the Australian summer growing conditions were good (at least, early), resulting in high yields. But things have changed. Feed grain prices are off 100 dollar a tonne on prices of one year ago. And the summer qrowinq ...
Corn (maize) makes up a large proportion (approx. 80–85%) of grain processed into ethanol; about 40% of the corn grown in the U.S. ends up as fuel ethanol. Diverting this food crop to the biofuels industry has become of vital importance for grain-growing states, affecting social and...
Food consumption patterns in Africa, especially among resource-constrained small-holder farmers, are dominated by staple cereals including maize and rice. However, micronutrients (especially Zn) deficiency in humans is mostly common in areas where cereals grown in micronutrient-deficient soils dominate the...
In the early 1980s, it was discovered that “there are genes responsible of the production of the crystal proteins inBtspore and these genes are carried on plasmids” (Crickmore et al.1998). Hofte and Whitely (1989) termed these “cry genes” and the protein they encode “cry proteins”...
