The Role of the legume in the nitrogen cycle of productive and sustainable pastures by Thomas, Richard J.

“…The amounts of legume‐fixed N required to balance the cycle without invoking a drain on soil organic N reserves (i.e. no net N mineralization) was estimated to vary from 38 to 53% of the above‐ground herbage N or from 20 to 31% on a dry matter (DM) basis for tropical pasture systems with a range of pasture utilization of 10–40%. …”

Genetic diversity and population structure analyses using hypervariable microsatellite markers in foxtail millets (Setaria species): Future smart nutri-cereal crop by Reddy, M.P., Rai, V.P., Reddy, C.V., Kumar, R., Paliwal, R., Sinha, B.

“…Foxtail millet (Setaria species), a staple food in certain regions, stands out for its rich content of carbohydrates, proteins, dietary fiber, and essential minerals, contributing to a well-balanced diet. The genetic diversity and population structure of a foxtail millet collection consisting of 107 accessions were measured using 31 class I hypervariable SSR markers (>24 bp). 106 polymorphic alleles were detected, ranging from 2 to 8 alleles per locus, across the entire collection with an average of 3.42 alleles per locus. …”

The impact of Theileria parva infections and other factors on calf mean daily weight gains in smallholder dairy farms in Murang'a District by Gitau, G.K., McDermott, John J., McDermott, B., Perry, Brian D.

“…Differences in mean daily gains were associated with AEZ-grazing strata and calf-level factors that included breed of calf, calf sickness, incidence of ECF, feeding of milk, concentrate feeds and minerals and interaction between calf age and AEZ-grazing strata (P < 0.05). …”

Genetic diversity, inter-gene pool introgression and nutritional quality of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) from Central Africa by Blair, Matthew W., González Martínez, L.F., Kimani, P.M., Butare, L.

“…Finally, nutritional quality differed between the gene pools with respect to seed iron and zinc concentration, while genotypes from the intermediate group were notably high in both minerals. In conclusion, this study has shown that Central African varieties of common bean are a source of wide genetic diversity with variable nutritional quality that can be used in crop improvement programs for the region.…”

Effects of deep tillage and crop rotation on soil biological properties in the Humid Pampas (Argentina) by Ferrari, Manuel Carlos, De Battista, Juan José, Ostojic, Juan Jose Ra

“…Composite soil samples were collected in november 2007 at depths of 0-5 and 5-20 cm to determine microbial biomass C (MBC), microbial biomass N (MBN), respiration (RESP), metabolic quotient (qCO2), and potential of N mineralization measured by 7-day anaerobic incubations (PNM-AI). …”

Indicadores de calidad para dos suelos con características vérticas de Entre Ríos (Argentina) = Quality indicators for two soils with vertic characterstics in Entre Ríos (Argenti... by Indelangelo, Nicolás, Wilson, Marcelo German, Tasi, Hugo Armando Alberto

“…In the Alfisol, where microbiological variables were also determined, microbial biomass carbon (C-biom) and net N mineralization (N-min) were selected as indi cators. By analyzing the meaning of indicators and taking into account the identified deterio ration processes it was possible to identify practices that involve the sequence of agricultural crops in a low proportion and plural-annual pastures as an adequate base for rotation.…”
