Of What Merit is Improved Inputs use in Uganda's Maize Productivity? [PDF]
This paper used the Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS) dataset of 2005/06 to examine the productivity of improved inputs used by smallholder maize farmers in Uganda. Yield and gross profit functions were estimated with the stochastic frontier model.

Hop as a phytogenic alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in poultry production
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract With the rapid growth of the world's population, the demand for food is also increasing. Poultry accounts for 40% of the global meat sector and therefore represents a significant area for further growth. One starting point for increasing production is to refine the composition of feed to improve the efficiency of growth and nutrient ...

Effect of growing temperature on root carbohydrate content and postharvest asparagus tip breakdown
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Tip breakdown has been identified as the main issue causing deterioration in asparagus quality during storage; however, the underlying mechanisms responsible for its development are unknown. Previous work showed higher incidence of tip breakdown occurring later in the season, when growing temperature was higher.

Biodegradable Polymers for Plant Nutrient Delivery and Recovery
Macromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.This review article discusses the use of biodegradable polymers to address several grand challenges in agriculture: to improve the delivery of nitrogen and phosphorous to crops, to optimize plant uptake, and to enhance the recovery of these nutrients from wastewater, to recycle them and reduce water pollution. Abstract The current use of fertilizers is

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.Electrospun nanofibers provide a unique platform for photosensitizers, due to their large surface area and biocompatibility, improving both loading efficiency and controlled release. The photosensitizer‐modified nanofibers are activated upon light exposure, and produce reactive oxygen species to treat cancer, pathogen infections, and wounds.

Nano Select, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examined the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) with ethanolic extract from leaf and fruit of Dennettia tripetala (Class: Annonaceae) and the assessment of their biological activities. Mixing of Zn (C2H3O2)2.2H2O solution and the ethanolic extracts resulted in color change, indicating the formation of ZnONPs.
