Life cycle analysis of wheat and barley crops for bioethanol production in Spain
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the agricultural production of wheat and barley grain to be used as a raw material for bioethanol production in Spain is performed. The objective of the work presented is to compare the environmental impact of the production of these two alternative raw materials for the production of bioethanol. This study is carried out in the frame of a higher scope study, a ...

Irrigated, no-till corn and barley response to nitrogen in Northern Colorado
Converting irrigated, conventional-till (CT) systems to no-till (NT) production systems can potentially reduce soil erosion, fossil fuel consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. Nitrogen fertilization effects on irrigated corn (Zea mays L.) and malting barley (Hordeum distichon L.) yields in a corn-barley rotation were evaluated for 6 yr on a clay loam soil to determine the viability of using a ...

Grain case study - Quaker Oats
Elbows Solve Pneumatic Wear Problems Problem It happened again and again. At the Pet Foods Division of Quaker Oats in Rockford, Illinois, the stainless steel elbows in their pneumatic conveying systems were wearing out every three months, or even less. Elbows were wearing through in three different systems: Two of the systems carry grains (barley, soy bean meal, soy bean hulls) from storage ...

Performance of a dispersion model to estimate methane loss from cattle in pens
Received for publication December 29, 2008. Accurate measurements of enteric methane (CH4) emissions from cattle (Bos taurus) are necessary to improve emission coefficients used in national emissions inventories, and to evaluate mitigation strategies. Our study was conducted to evaluate a novel approach that allowed near continuous CH4 measurement from beef cattle confined in pens. The backward ...

Dryland crop yields and soil organic matter as influenced by long-term tillage and cropping sequence
Novel management practices are needed to improve the declining dryland crop yields and soil organic matter contents using conventional farming practices in the northern Great Plains. We evaluated the 21-yr effect of tillage and cropping sequence on dryland grain and biomass (stems + leaves) yields of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), and pea (Pisum sativum L.) and ...

Mega-Environment identification for barley based on twenty-seven years of global grain yield data
Knowledge of target environments in breeding programs is important to better direct the development of germplasm. The objectives of this study were to identify associations among barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) growing environments to identify mega-environments to select the best locations to breed barley. Twenty-seven years of grain yield data from the International Barley Yield Trial (IBYT) ...

Hulless barley seeding rate effects on grain yield and yield components
Recent efforts to expand markets for winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in the mid-Atlantic have focused on hulless types due to higher energy density. The exposed endosperm of hulless barley makes damage more likely than with hulled barley, and emergence is typically lower. Information to determine the optimum seeding rate for winter hulless barley is presently unavailable. Experiments were ...

A review of the phosphorus content of dry cereal and legume crops of the world
When food scarcity increases, instability in society increases. The majority of food consumed is from cereals and legumes. Phosphorus is essential for crop plant growth and soils are depleted as this element is removed from crop lands with harvested grains/seeds. To sustain yields, inputs of nutrients are required to balance losses. On global and continental/regional bases, we assembled nine ...

QTL mapping of dormancy in Barley using the Harrington/Morex and Chevron/Stander mapping populations
Grain dormancy in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is quantitatively inherited. Low levels of dormancy before harvest can lead to pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in the field, which affects grain and malt quality. The objective of the present study was to determine the locations and effects of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling dormancy in two F1–derived doubled-haploid (DH) populations from the ...

Biplot analysis of rainfed barley multienvironment trials in Iran
The main objective of this work was the analysis of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) multienvironment trials (MET) first to identify superior genotypes for the barley crop area in Iran, and second to investigate if different megaenvironments exist. The analyses were performed via GGE (genotype + genotype x environment) biplot methodology on the grain yield of 13 barley genotypes, selected from the ...

What Are The Common Feeds For Tilapia Breeding
Tilapia is a tropical fish native to Africa. There are more than 100 species of tilapia, including subspecies. Tilapia has the characteristics of fast growth, high yield, miscellaneous food, few diseases, and strong reproduction. Tilapia is an omnivorous fish. In natural conditions, the food of tilapia is mainly composed of phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic organisms and organic debris. In the ...

Horse Feed Pellets Analysis
In order to make horse live a long, healthy life, and perform best, two most significant nutritional factors to horses are water and forage. Some horses can maintain healthy weight on forage without additional grain or feed, while for some horses especially those in rigorous training programs would need more than that. Zhengzhou Fusmar Machinery is a professional animal feed machine ...

Global Grain Stocks Drop Dangerously Low as 2012 Consumption Exceeded Production
The world produced 2,241 million tons of grain in 2012, down 75 million tons or 3 percent from the 2011 record harvest. The drop was largely because of droughts that devastated several major crops—namely corn in the United States (the world’s largest crop) and wheat in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Australia. Each of these countries also is an important exporter. Global grain ...
