Prevalence and factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding among rural mothers of infants less than six months of age in Southern Nations, Nationalities, Peoples (SNNP) and Tig... by Hagos, Dawit, Tadesse, Amare Worku

“…Infant age, marital status of mothers, delivery place and breastfeeding counseling during pregnancy were identified as factors associated with EBF practices in 24 h preceding the survey. Devising appropriate strategies on breastfeeding messaging/counseling and support in addressing poor breastfeeding practices through existing government-led health intervention packages are recommended.…”

Effets du semis direct et de l'irrigation d'appoint sur le rendement du blé dur et la fertilité du sol à la station expérimentale de Marchouch (Zaer-Maroc). by Rharbaje, Meryem

“…On the other hand, their effect on the chemical properties of the soil (rate of organic matter, phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen) in two soil horizons (0-15 cm and 15-30 cm) and on two similar, homogeneous plots which have not only undergone the same technical itinerary but also have the same cultural precedents in recent years. The results of this study have in particular made it possible to demonstrate that the mode of tillage affects grain yield and straw yield. …”

Soil mineral N dynamics and maize grain yields following Centrosema macrocarpum and Stylosanthes guianensis: Effects of different rotations and varying levels of N fertiliser by Muhr, I., Tarawali, Shirley A., Peters, Michael, Schultze-Kraft, Rainer

“…In a second experiment, first wet season (early) maize was grown after the same two legume species, and the interaction of preceding legumes with three levels of fertiliser N (0–30–60 kg N ha-1) applied to maize was assessed. …”

Variation in time of day of anthesis in rice in different climatic environments by Julia C, Dingkuhn, Michael

“…Across all genotypes and environments, 80% of the variation of the time of maximum anthesis could be explained with the mean minimum air temperature (Tmin) during the 7 d preceding any given anthesis event. Linear, multiple regression models determined for each cultivar using Tmin and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) observations from the three tropical environments explained 94% of variation of time of anthesis onset and end. …”

Analysis of crop residue use in small holder mixed farms in Ethiopia by Alkhtib, A., Wamatu, Jane, Kassie, Girma T., Rischkowsky, Barbara A.

“…The proportion of cereal and pulse residue used for soil mulch was positively affected by the education level of the farmer, the distance between the homestead and the cultivated land, extension service, awareness about soil mulch, the slope of cultivated land, participation in farmer-to-farmer extension and CR generated in the preceding season. In view that pulse CR have better nutritive value compared with cereal CR, better utilization of CR could be achieved by maximizing the use of pulse residue as livestock feed and optimizing the use of cereal residue as soil mulch. …”

Gene flow in cowpea: field viability of wild and cultivated cowpea seeds and the hybrids between them by Fatokun, C.A., Boukar, O., Tamo, Manuele

“…This probably explains why it is not very common to find volunteer cultivated cowpea plants in the field during the following cropping season from seeds that dropped in the preceding season. However, this is not the case with seeds of wild cowpea relatives that remain viable for a while in the field after dispersal. …”

Economic analysis of indigenous small ruminant breeds in the pastoral system: A case of sheep and goats in Marsabit district, Kenya by Omondi, Immaculate A.

“…The results further point out that for livestock stakeholders to effectively improve the livelihoods of poor livestock-keepers, development strategies for improving the management and/ or utilisation of small ruminant genetic resources in terms of drought tolerance in sheep, should not only be tailor made to target regions that are frequently devastated by drought but should also precede other strategies or efforts that would first lead to the improvement of producers’ economic status.…”

Potential of ethyleneproducing pseudomonads in combination with effective N2fixing bradyrhizobial strains as supplements to legume rotation for the control of Striga hermonthica by Ahonsi, M.O., Berner, D.K., Emechebe, A.M., Lagoke, S.T.O., Sanginga, N.

“…Striga hermonthica seeds germinate only if adequately conditioned and exogenous stimulant initiates ethylene production within the seed, or if ethylene is directly supplied to the conditioned seed.Since S. hermonthica is an obligate root parasite, stimulating the seeds to germinate in the absence of the host plants results in seedlings that die within 3–4 days (suicidal germination).Soil injection with ethylene gas is a proven method of eliminating Striga spp.seed reserves in soils, but its cost and potential hazard limit its use in Africa.Use of legume cultivars selected for their ability to cause suicidal germination of S. hermonthica seeds in rotation with cereal host is feasible, but effective reduction of parasite seeds in field soils normally requires several seasons of the legume crop.In this study, ethyleneproducing strains of Pseudomonas sp.in combination with N2-fixing Bradyrhizobia japonicum strains were evaluated in pots as a supplement to legume rotation for S. hermonthica control.Co-inoculating cowpea cv.IT93K-637-1 or soybean cv.SAMSOY-2 with Pseudomonas fluorescens/Pseudomonas putida isolates that do not produce ethylene and with B. japonicum isolates either enhanced or had no effect on nodulation compared with B. japonicum alone.Co-inoculating cowpea or soybean with ethylene-producing Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea (Psg) and B. japonicum strains did not affect nodulation.While one or two preceding crops of cowpea or soybean reduced S. hermonthica parasitism on subsequent maize crops, the reductions were significantly improved by coinoculating cowpea or soybean with Psg and B. japonicum strains.Psg and B. japonicum may have reduced S. hermonthica parasitism on maize by causing suicidal germination of S. hermonthica seeds and enhancing N2-fixation.Results indicate that co-inoculating cowpea or soybean with ethylene-producing rhizosphere competent pseudomonads and N2-fixing bradyrhizobia has potential to increase the effectiveness of legume rotation in reducing S. hermonthica parasitism on subsequent maize crops. 2003 Elsevier Science (USA).All rights reserved.…”
