The effect of sucrose supplements on particle-associated carboxymethylcellulase (EC 3.2.1.4) and xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) activities in cattle given grass-silage-based diet by Huhtanen, P., Khalili, H.

“…The basal diet (diet C) consisted of grass silage, barley and rapeseed meal (700, 240 and 60 g/kg total DM) given daily or supplemented with sucrose 1.0 kg given twice daily (Diet S), twice daily with sodium bicarbonate 0.25 kg/day (diet B) or as a continuous intrarumen infusion (diet I). Giving sucrose supplements decreased CMCase and xylanase activities extracted from microbes associated with rumen particulate material or feed particles incubated in nylon bags compared with diet c. …”

Towards a viable system for monitoring agrobiodiversity on-farm: A proposed new approach for Red Listing of cultivated plant species by Padulosi, S., Dulloo, Mohammad Ehsan

“…Reasons for that may include the sheer number of varieties of crop species on-farm, the diffuse presence of diversity, varying from large areas to small patches of land and home gardens, the dynamic nature of cultivation that deploys various crops and varieties in different ways, the absence of farmer based mechanisms to which to anchor a possible monitoring system, and important policy aspects, such as those related to access and use of information generated during the monitoring. …”

Exploring the effectiveness of a rapid participatory method in mapping the role of agricultural biodiversity in local food systems to identify potential entry points to improve peo... by Ahern, Molly B., Raneri, Jessica Evelyn, Muro, P. de, Kennedy, G.

“…In the case of Son La Province, Vietnam, explored in this paper, it is possible to conclude a positive relationship between increased production diversity and dietary diversity, and highlight the importance of markets for diffusion of diverse foods. Diversification of species production and consumption has a positive effect on resilience during the off-season, and diversification of coping mechanisms utilised by communities can build resilience for future shocks. …”

"Green revolution" and cassava breeding by Kawano, Kazuo

“…Technology adoption would also be slow because the main clients were small farmers in low-input environments and varietal improvement alone would not solve the problem; an integrated approach was required to diffuse the improved technology. One positive aspect was that working on cassava would contribute less to the widening of the gap between rich and poor farmers, the major negative-effect of the "Green Revolution". …”

Bacterial blight, caused by Burkholderia glumae, is attacking Brachiaria in Colombia: First report by Álvarez, Elizabeth, Latorre, Michael A.

“…Isolates cultured onto King’s B medium were cream-colored, producing a yellow, diffusible, non-fluorescent pigment. For molecular identification, the 16S rDNA gene was amplified from all isolates, using primers 27f and 1525R, and obtaining a PCR product of 1500 bp. …”

The broader institutional context of participatory plant breeding in the changing agricultural and natural resources R&D system in Nepal by Biggs, Stephen D., Gauchan, Devendra

“…In this paper, it is argued that the emphasize on the differences between PPB and CPB has led to (1) a perception of differences where in fact they do not exist, (2) a lack of acknowledgement of the complementary nature of different activities in participative technology development, (3) a lack of acknowledgement of other participatory-research And technology-diffusion activities taking place in the same locations, (4) a lack of emphasis on looking at legitimate concerns of science and technology policy. …”

Evaluation of the dissemination of new Banana (Musa spp.) Technologies in Central Ghana - the role of technology characteristics by Dzomeku, B.M., Staver, Charles, Aflakpui, G.K.S., Sanogo, D., Garming, H., Ankomah, A.A., Darkey, S.K.

“…Social networking is an important factor for technology diffusion and adoption. Hence, the formation of farmers’ organizations as a result of the project had yielded dividends to the community. …”

Agricultural vulnerability to changing rainfall patterns: Assessing the role of smallholder farmers’ perceptions and access to weather forecast information in adaptation-decision m... by Muyiramye, Didier

“…I used two different theoretical approaches to analyse the research questions: The ‘’Protection Motivation Theory’’ to study how smallholder farmers’ perceptions on the farming vulnerability to changing rainfall patterns shape coping mechanisms and adaptive strategies, and the ‘’Diffusion of Innovations’’ theory to investigate the role of weather forecast information in adaption-decision making. …”

Investigating off-grid systems for a mobile milking facility by Elzein, Musadag Mohamed Salah Eldin

“…The thesis also highlighted the technological development and the continuing reduction of Solar PV+Batteries costs worldwide along with Sweden’s grid and off-grid projections for years 2030 & 2040 and how these both stand in favor of off-grid systems diffusion and adoption in the near future. Yet simultaneously and in order to achieve a successful off-grid system for a mobile AMS, close monitoring and assessing of other factors was recommended. …”
