Straw biomass - potential raw material for ethanol production [PDF]
Barley straw was found to be suitable raw material for ethanol production. Straw could be easily pre-treated with steam explosion, hydrolysed to monosaccharides and fermented to ethanol.

ABSTRACT Small‐scale irrigation represents a highly effective system designed to enhance production and productivity, mitigate risks associated with rainfall variability and increase the income of rural farm households. This study was conducted to analyse small‐scale irrigation impact on household income and assess the challenges and opportunities in ...

ABSTRACT Haloxyfop‐R‐methyl (HRM) is extensively employed to control annual and perennial grass weeds. This study aimed to investigate the cyto‐genotoxic effects of HRM at concentrations of 1.19, 2.38, and 4.76 mg/L over various time intervals (24, 48, 72, and 96 h) on Allium cepa root.

WHEN applied to germination, ‘dormancy’ and ‘maturity’ are not precise terms, and their meaning therefore depends on the particular test which is used. The data in my communication1 relate to tests in which the conditions were optimal, in all respects, for the germination of barley grains.

High damage potential of seed-borne spot blotch in organically grown spring barley in Denmark [PDF]
Spot blotch of barley (Bipolaris sorokiniana, perfect state: Cochliobolus sativus) occurs wherever barley is grown but is normally not considered a major problem in Danish barley production.

Phosphorus lability across diverse agricultural contexts with legacy sources
Abstract The buffering of phosphorus (P) in the landscape delays management outcomes for water quality. If stored in labile form (readily exchangeable and bioavailable), P may readily pollute waters. We studied labile P and its intensity for >600 soils and sediments across seven study locations in the United States. Stocks of labile P were large enough

Fall‐applied manure can conserve excess soil‐profile inorganic‐N for the subsequent cropping year
Abstract To investigate dairy manure urea fertilizer interactions in cropped soils of the semiarid‐West, we fall‐applied and incorporated (0–0.3 m) soil urea‐N (FertN) rates of 10 (N0), 45 (N1), and 80 mg N kg−1 (N2), co‐applied with either no manure or 86 Mg ha−1 (dry wt.) stockpiled dairy manure.

ABSTRACT Background Despite the availability of modern techniques for high‐resolution non‐destructive rhizosphere analysis, destructive examinations yielding a certain minimum soil amount are often required to provide detailed insights into organic matter composition.

Molecular diagnostic methods can prevent unnecessary rejection of organic seed lots [PDF]
In some years, large amounts of organic seed lots are discarded due to the presence of high levels of seed-borne diseases. In barley it is especially the presence of the fungal species Pyrenophora teres (barley net blotch) and P.
