Agricultural market reforms in Egypt: initial adjustments in local input markets by Goletti, Francesco

“…There is some evidence that the ratio between foodgrain prices and the prices of fertilizers, pesticides, and labor have gone up, pointing indirectly to some evidence concerning improvement in average farmer's income, to the extent that changes in the cost of other inputs like land and equipment do not exceed these gains.…”

Major Factors Affecting Cooked Milled Rice Hardness and Cooking Time by Juliano, Bienvenido O., Perez, Consuelo M.

“…The spread in cooked‐rice hardness values was higher at a water:rice ratio of 1.9 (68% water) than at 2.65 (75% water), which was equivalent to the water content of rice cooked in excess water for an optimum cooking time. Cooking time correlated better with starch final gelatinization temperature (r=0.75*) than with surface area per gram (r=−0.49) confirming the results of earlier kinetic studies that cooking rate was mainly influenced by the reactivity of the grain constituents with water.…”

Enfermedades del frijol (Phaseolus vulgaris L) by Castaño, J.J.

“…The symptomatology and control of the principal bean diseases in Colombia are discussed, classifying them as (1) biotic: root rot caused by fungi, bacteria and nematodes; foliage diseases - anthracnose, rust, angular leaf spot, powdery mildew, Ascochyta leaf spot, gray spot, floury leaf spot, pod scorch caused by Diaporthe phaseolorum, white mild, halo blight, common and fuscous blights. (2) viral: BCMV and BGMV; (3) abiotic disorders: (a) physicogenic: natural deficiencies, sunscald and damage caused by high winds and excess drought; and (b) enzymatic: phytotoxemias and phytotoxicities; and (4) diseases during transportation and storage. …”
