Use of combinations of organic materials and mineral fertilizers as sources of crop nutrients has widely been discussed and their relevance in arriving at sustainable soil fertility management practices that are environmentally friendly explained. Few publications go beyond the theoretical models and examine the practical issues involved. Given the level of soil degradation, mainly through erosion and nutrient mining, recapitalization of soil nutrient stocks is central to continued crop production. Combined nutrient sources play a crucial role in supporting crop production especially in the smallholder faming systems. This book therefore examines keys issues related to use of cattle manure, i.e., its quality, mineralization and...

A commodity is some good for which there is demand, but which is supplied without qualitative differentiation across a market. It is a product that is the same no matter who produces it, such as petroleum, notebook paper, or milk. In other words, copper is copper. The price of copper is universal, and fluctuates daily based on global supply and demand. Stereo systems, on the other hand, have many levels of quality. And, the better a stereo is [perceived to be], the more it will cost. One of the characteristics of a commodity good is that its price is determined as a function of its market as a whole. Well-established physical commodities have actively traded spot and derivative markets. Generally, these are basic resources and...

The common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, is an herbaceous annual plant domesticated independently in ancient Mesoamerica and the Andes, and now grown worldwide for its edible bean, popular both dry and as a green bean. The leaf is occasionally used as a leaf vegetable, and the straw is used for fodder. Botanically, the common bean is classified as a dicotyledon. Beans, squash and maize constituted the "Three Sisters" that provided the foundation of Native American agriculture. Beans are a legume and thus acquire their nitrogen through an association with rhizobia, a species of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. 18.3 million tonnes of dry common beans and 6.6 million tonnes of green beans were grown worldwide in 2007. The other major type of beans is...

Sustaining food supply to burgeoning global population especially under changing climate is a challenge for mankind. Though several options are available to address this challenge, many of them are constrained while considering the conservation of resource base. In this context, farm diversification offers good scope and dominance of small farms in developing nations is an advantage to practice spatial or temporal integration of farming enterprises. This integration could offer leads for solving many issues such as enhancing livelihoods of resource poor farmers, ensuring nutritional security, conserving soil health and agro- biodiversity. Methodologies and results of the research undertaken to evolve suitable Integrated Farming System...

Three supplements,Cottonseedmeal(CSM),Soyabean meal(SBM) and Peanutmeal(PNM)@2% were evaluated on strains P1 and U3 of Agaricus bisporus. Wheat straw compost with three initial N level 1.75%,1.5% and 1.25%.Supplementation of CSM at the time of spawning in 1.75% N compost gave the best results.Ruffling of the compost during supplementation had a detrimental effect,related to the increase in temperature. Of the four concentrations of supplement tried, CSM @2% added at the time of spawning or casing proved to be best giving a yield of 29.6 and 31.3 kg/100kg compost, respectively.Treatment of CSM and SBM with 1000-7000ppm of formaldehyde andb addition at spawning/casing had no positive effect on the yield.The yield response of seven strains...

A control system for multi-stage ginseng drying, based on real-time identification of moisture and quality changes, was developed. Computer-vision system provided real-time imaging of area shrinkage and colour changes. Shrinkage was identified by extracting of the green plane from the RGB color space, while colour changes- from the HSI color space. Shrinkage-moisture and colour-quality relationships were experimentally developed over the entire range of drying conditions in isothermal and non-isothermal drying. Relational models were used as components of control system. Data from computer vision system were used to generate relevant signals to low-level controller for temperature adjustment according to actual moisture content and...

Concord grapes are a cultivar derived from the grape species Vitis labrusca which are used as table grapes, wine grapes and juice grapes. The skin of a Concord grape is typically dark blue or purple, and often is covered with a lighter colored "bloom" which can be rubbed off. It is a slip-skin variety, meaning that the skin is easily separated from the fruit. Concord grapes have large seeds and are highly aromatic. They are often used to make grape jelly, grape juice, grape-flavored soft drinks, and candy. The grape is sometimes used to make wine, particularly kosher wine, though it is not generally favored for that purpose due to the strong "foxy" flavor. Traditionally, most commercially produced Concord wines have been finished sweet,...

Modern usage may include substances rich in artificial sweeteners as well. The word candy (U.S.), sweets (UK) or lolly (Australia) is also used for the extensive variety that compose confectionery. Generally speaking, confections are low in nutritional value but rich in calories. Specially formulated chocolate has been manufactured in the past for military use due to its high concentration of calories. Confectionery items include sweets, lollipops, candy bars, chocolate, candy floss, and other sweet items of snack food. The term does not generally apply to cakes, biscuits, or puddings...

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Confiture de lait is a thick, sweet caramel sauce prepared from milk and sugar. It is a specialty of the Normandy region of France, but it can be found throughout the country. It is very similar to spreadable types of dulce de leche. Preparation of confiture de lait involves the mixing of whole milk with one half its weight in sugar, followed by brief boiling of the mixture and several hours of cooking over low heat. The result is a smooth, caramelized sauce with a medium brown color, thick enough to be eaten with a spoon. Confiture de lait is used as a sweet condiment or spread for bread or pastries, or as an...

The cuisine of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Congo-Kinshasa or DRC) varies widely, representing the food of indigenous people. Cassava is generally the staple food usually eaten with other side dishes. Less than 2% of the land is cultivated, and most of this is used for subsistence farming. People gather wild fruit, mushrooms, honey etc; hunt (see bushmeat); and fish. They will often sell these crops at markets, or by the roadside. Cattle breeding and the development of large-scale agricultural businesses has been hindered by the recent war and the poor quality of the road system.

Availability of minerals in vitro is a dynamic system and involves many processes such as: the input of minerals, interactions between minerals (precipitation), interactions between minerals and other medium constituents (EDTA, O-C, sugar and gelling agents), binding of minerals to the gel matrix, solubility, water availability, and movement of minerals by diffusion and mass flow. There are three principle mechanisms by which minerals in the medium may reach the surface of the explants and are ready to be taken up by the explants. (1) The minerals directly exchange with the explant surface (explant-interception within the medium). (2) The minerals may be carried towards the explants by mass flow in the water flow. (3) The minerals will...
