The consumption pattern of maize in India, including the maize starch industry, is reviewed and the need for additional production indicated. Conservative estimates indicatethat the present demand of about 10X106 t will more than double by the year 2005. The higher demand can be met if the ...
Twenty potential maize growing villages from four different districts namely Karimnagar, Warangal, Rangareddy and Medak were earmarked for the survey. Infestation pattern of sucking pests various with the crop growth stages, however similar trend was observed in all the districts.年份: 2019 ...
1. The rainfall distribution during the experiment seasons i.e., in 2019 (512.3 mm) and 2020 (587.5 mm) were almost comparable with distribution pattern almost similar, whereas 2021 (1288.7 mm) had higher rainfall, with higher amount of rainfall occurred during active growth stage of the ...
Yield was increased between 31% in LCV and 121% in FER relative to control plants, albeit not significantly. Fertilization with P or Zn significantly influenced the abundance of specific proteins affecting grain quality (viz., storage, lys-rich and cell wall proteins), which were more abundant ...
In parts of Africa and Mesoamerica, maize alone contributes over 20 % of food calories. The role of maize for human consumption, expressed in terms of the share of calories from all staple cereals, varies significantly across regions (Shiferaw et al. 2011). This ranges from 4 % in South ...
The average farmer reported using more than half of their harvested maize crop (56%) for household consumption and selling slightly more than a quarter (27%) in the market (with the remaining harvested quantity used for other purposes or lost prior to sale or consumption). However, we ...
This includes two stages of trade: trade in maize and trade in pork. We will trace how the water embodied in traded maize will be transferred further because of trade in pork. As a metric for water use we will employ the consumptive water footprint (WF), which measures both consumption ...
The same pattern was replicated in 2007 with 3.9 per cent of households adopting both technologies, an indication that out of the 7.7 per cent that adopted inorganic fertilizer most also adopted improved maize varieties. This provides a useful insight: those who adopt inorganic fertilizer are more...
in water-filled pore spaces (WFPS) due to frequent irrigation11. Besides the effects on direct GHGs (N2O, and CH4), (drip) fertigation may also increase CO2emissions because of increased energy consumption to run the system15and to install the drip fertigation facilities16. In addition, large...
