Impact of endosulphan and cypermethrin mixture on amphibians under field use for biotech soya bean production
This study presents results at a local scale of the impact of pesticide aerial applications containing a mixture of endosulphan and cypermethrin on anurans assessed by means of field evaluations. Additionally, effects were compared with laboratory toxicity tests in standardised conditions. Field assessment with native population allowed the detection of dead anuran larvae of the species present ...

Response of cultivars of race durango to continual dry bean versus rotational production systems
Continual dry bean (CB, Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in the same field for 2 or more consecutive years is common worldwide. However, the effects on and performance of dry bean cultivars in the CB production system is not known. The objectives of this research were to (i) determine effects of the CB production system on seed yield, seed weight, and days to maturity of race Durango cultivars; ...

Selection for drought tolerance in dry bean derived from the mesoamerican gene pool in Western Nebraska
Dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is highly susceptible to drought stress, and drought affects 60% of global bean production. We evaluated elite exotic dry bean germplasm derived from the Mesoamerican gene pool for drought tolerance, yield, and adaptation to western Nebraska during 2006 and 2007 at three research sites. Seven tropical lines were evaluated with two great northern cultivars ...

Dry Bean landrace and cultivar performance in stressed and nonstressed organic and conventional production systems
High-yielding cultivars adapted to stressed and nonstressed production systems (PS) would maximize efficiency of soil water and nutrient usage, compete well with weeds, resist diseases and insect pests, and reduce dependence on water, fertilizer, and pesticide. The objectives of this study were to (i) determine the performance of dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) landraces and cultivars across ...

No-tillage improves broomrape control with Glyphosate in Faba-Bean
Broomrape (Orobanche crenata Forsk.) causes considerable losses in faba-bean (Vicia faba L.) production in the Mediterranean region. The application of an ultra-low glyphosate rate at an early broomrape parasitic phase, i.e., tubercle development, is the most common control system. This study sought to determine the effect of tillage system and glyphosate application on broomrape infestation, ...

Manioc peel and charcoal: a potential organic amendment for sustainable soil fertility in the tropics
In tropical areas, where crop production is limited by low soil quality, the development of techniques improving soil fertility without damage to the environment is a priority. In French Guiana, we used subsistence farmer plots on poor acidic soils to test the effect of different organic amendments, bitter manioc peel (M), sawdust (Sw) and charcoal (Ch), on soil nutrient content, earthworm ...

Evaluation of Soil Physical Properties as Influenced by Various Green Manuring Legumes and Phosphorus Fertilization under Rain Fed Conditions
A field experiment was conducted under rainfed environment of Pothowar region of Pakistan to assess physical properties of soil as influenced by various green manure legumes (sesbania, cluster bean and rice bean) and different P levels (0, 30, 60, 90 kg P2O5/ha). Highest fresh biomass was observed in sesbania (23 t/ha) followed by cluster bean (19 t/ha) and lowest in rice bean (17 t/ha). Maximum ...

Optimisation of process conditions for dehulling and softening of locust bean (Parkia biglobosa, Jacq. Benth) seeds prior to fermentation in iru production
The study optimised the fundamental processes (dehulling and softening) on iru production from locust bean using independent variables, steam pressure (40–60 kPa gauge), volume of water (2–6 L) and time (50–70 min) in the Box–Behnken design. The regression coefficients were used to generate surface and contour maps. Optimum dehulling conditions were ca pressure 50 kPa, volume of water 4 L, and ...
