Insecticide resistance in field populations of Asian citrus psyllid in Florida BACKGROUND: Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri, is a major pest of citrus because it vectors the putative causal agent of huanglongbing disease. Insecticides are currently the basis of psyllid management programs, and the number of annual insecticide applications has increased significantly. In this […]
Latest News on Maize Seedling : May 2022
Photomorphogenic Responses in Maize Seedling Development As an emerging maize (Zea mays) seedling senses light, there is a decrease in the rate of mesocotyl elongation, an induction of root growth, and an expansion of leaves. In leaf tissues, mesophyll and bundle sheath cell fate is determined, and the proplastids of each differentiate into the dimorphic […]
Latest News on Growth of Maize : Apr 2022
Daily Growth of Maize The growth of maize depends upon a liberal water supply at the growing point. In order of effectiveness such a supply is reduced and growth checked by (a) direct sunlight, (b) deficient soil moisture, (c) low relative humidity. 2. The growth of maize drops rapidly as the temperature approaches 10⚬ C. […]

The metabolizable energy of poultry feeding stuffs in relation to their chemical composition The metabolizable energy values of 17 samples of cereals, cereal by-products and mixed rations have been determined with laying hens. They ranged from 1300 to 3500 kg.-cal. per kg. and, where comparison with the findings of other workers has been possible, agreement […]
Forecasting of Early Maturing Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) Yield for Central Zone (CZ) of India
The purpose of this study was to use Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average, Exponential smoothing, and the Neural Network (NN) model to produce a better forecast for yield of early maturing pigeonpea planted in India’s central zone. The constructed model’s performance was evaluated using various selection measure criteria, with the model with the lowest value of […]
Assessment of Early Calves’ Weaning Diet as Milk Replacer for Smallholder Dairy Production Systems in Kenya
Kenya’s small-scale dairy farmers are becoming more interested in selling milk to augment their income, especially during the dry season when milk prices soar. In smallholder dairy production systems, this results in low calf growth rates, high calf mortality rates, late maturation, and total economic losses. Early weaning formulae as milk replacers developed in a […]
