Influence of spacing and seed trees on the growth of Pericopsis elata saplings during the first twenty months of a planting trial by Ilunga-Mulala, C., Hatakiwe, H., Beeckman, H., Hardy, Olivier J., Ligot, G., Assumani, D.-M., Ndjele, L., Bourland, N.

“…In October 2017, seedlings were transplanted in a Nelder design plantation with three replicates, to compare sapling growth at 10 contrasting plant densities under full sun. Diameter and height increments of 540 plants were analyzed according to local competition and maternal origin using generalized additive models. …”

Proximal remote sensing and gross primary productivity in a temperate salt marsh by Vázquez-Lule, A., Vargas, R.

“…We tested the performance of empirical models to predict GPP from 12 common vegetation indices (VIs; e.g., NDVI, EVI, PSRI, GCC), Sun-Induced Fluorescence (SIF), and reflectance from different areas of the electromagnetic spectrum (i.e., VIS-IR, RedEdge, IR, and SIF) across the annual cycle and canopy phenological phases (i.e., Greenup, Maturity, Senescence, and Dormancy). …”

Investigating carotenoid loss after drying and storage of orange-fleshed sweet potato by Bechoff, A.

“…A preliminary study demonstrated that carotenoid levels were not significantly different following either solar or sun drying. Carotenoid loss after drying was generally correlated with high initial moisture content and high carotenoid content in fresh sweetpotato roots. …”

Discriminating Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) cropping systems using leaf-level hyperspectral data by Kebede, G., Mudereri, B.T., Abdel-Rahman, E.M., Mutanga, O., Landmann, T., Odindi, J., Motisi, N., Pinard, F., Tonnang, H.E.Z.

“…Specifically, we focus on the spectral analysis of three types of Robusta coffee CSs—those integrating agroforestry, those combined with banana cultivation, and those in full sun exposure. Using in situ hyperspectral measurements captured by the FieldSpec 2™ spectroradiometer across the 325 to 1075 nm range of the electromagnetic spectrum, we aimed to (1) analyze the unique spectral properties and behaviors of these Robusta coffee CSs and (2) effectively discriminate among them using advanced hyperspectral datasets alongside the machine learning (ML) classification algorithms. …”

Factors influencing in vitro growth of two Cameroon isolates of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae – candidates for development of mycoinsecticides against agricultural... by Membang, G., Hanna, R., Mahot, H.C., Fotso Kuate, A., Kumar, P.L., Fiaboe, K.K.M., Masso, C., Ambang, Z.

“…Beauveria bassiana demonstrated greater UV resistance, making it potentially more suitable for sun-exposed environments, while M. anisopliae may require protective formulations. …”

Contributions of African livestock production systems to greenhouse gas emissions and global warming in the face of climate change by Chagunda, M.G.G., Etchu, K.A., Tirimba, K., Okeyo Mwai, Ally

“…Greenhouse gases (GHG) have the ability to trap radiant energy from the sun in the atmosphere. The accumulation of GHGs in the atmosphere significantly contributes to climate change. …”

Microbiological evaluation of Acacia angustissima as a protein supplement for sheep by Odenyo, A.A., Osuji, P.O., Karanfil, O., Adinew, K.

“…Acacia angustissima was fed to two groups of cannulated Ethiopian highland sheeOne group (three animals) was directly supplemented with 300 g per head day-1 of sun-dried A. angustissima. These animals died after 9 and 21 days and consumed only 75-100 g day-1 of the supplement at any time. …”

Technical innovations for small-scale producers and households to process wet cassava peels into high quality animal feed ingredients and aflasafe™ substrate by Okike, Iheanacho, Samireddypalle, A., Kaptoge, L., Fauquet, Claude M., Atehnkeng, J., Bandyopadhyay, Ranajit, Kulakow, Peter A., Duncan, Alan J., Alabi, Tunrayo, Blümmel, Michael

“…More than 95 per cent of its uses require peeling which generates up to 14 Mt of waste annually; mostly due to challenges related to drying. Sun drying is practically impossible during the wet season and it takes 2–3 days in the dry season to reduce the moisture content of fresh peels from about 60 per cent to 20 per cent or less – a marketable state. …”

Milk production, fluid balance and temperature regulation in lactating camels (camellus dromedarius). by Bekele, T.

“…Despite low morning body temperatures, camels sought shade to avoid evaporative water loss but after drinking, they spent more time in the sun. Water deprived camels are known to compensate the number of kilograms of body weight lost by drinking equivalent number of liters of water, and this has been assumed to indicate a full recovery. …”

Using steam to dry food: introducing the (UPoCA) dryer by Nonie, S.E.B., James, B.D., Alpha, S.J.

“…The industry looks for fast drying systems with high flour production capacity to meet market demands. Traditional sun-drying is limited by rainfall, and conventional drying systems are based on motorized machinery unsuitable for farm gate use. …”

Application of thermography for monitoring stomatal conductance of Coffea arabica under different shading systems by Craparo, Alessandro Carmelo William, Steppe, K., Asten, Piet J.A. van, Läderach, Peter R.D., Jassogne, Laurence T.P., Grab, S.W.

“…In contrast to typical plant-thermography methods which measure indices once per day over an extended time period, we used high resolution hourly measurements over daily time series with 9 sun and 9 shade replicates. Eight daily time series showed a strong correlation between methods, while the remaining 10 were not significant. …”

Germination and growth of Pinus caribaea directly sown into containers as influenced by shade, phosphate and captan by Geary, T.F., Avila Cortés, G., Hadley, H.H.

“…Seedlings in bags whose sides had been exposed to direct sun were smaller than those not exposed. There was a high correlation between height and diameter when the effect of shade was removed, possibly indicating a dependent-independent variable relationship.The methods used in this experiment produced seedlings ready for planting in the field 27 weeks after sowing.…”
