Effects of intensity and frequency of defoliation on a mixture of guinea grass (Panicum maximum cv. Coloniao) and Verano stylo (Stylosanthes hamata cv. Verano) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]
, 1985 A study was conducted in a glasshouse to determine the effect of defoliation treatments comprising combinations of two intensities (7.5 cm and 15.0 cm cutting height) and three frequencies (2, 3 and 6 weeks) on production, botanical composition and crude

Specificity in Legume-Rhizobia Symbioses
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016 Most species in the Leguminosae (legume family) can fix atmospheric nitrogen (N2) via symbiotic bacteria (rhizobia) in root nodules. Here, the literature on legume-rhizobia symbioses in field soils was reviewed and genotypically characterised rhizobia ...

Various inputs applied for growing sweet potato in the tidal swamp area of south Borneo of Indonesia
International Journal of Agricultural Research, Innovation and Technology, 2020 In South Borneo, sweet potato baking is very good market and has to be shipped from Java for fulfilling the demand of the people. Preparation of sweet potato as additional food is only simple by put in oven, so it is sold fresh from the oven.

Linkage QTL Mapping and Genome-Wide Association Study on Resistance in Chickpea to Pythium ultimum
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 The soilborne oomycete plant pathogen Pythium ultimum causes seed rot and pre-emergence damping-off of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The pathogen has been controlled for several decades using the fungicide metalaxyl as seed treatment but has re-emerged ...

Using legume-based mixtures to enhance the nitrogen use efficiency and economic viability of cropping systems - Final report (LK09106/HGCA3447) [PDF]
, 2013 As costs for mineral fertilisers rise, legume-based leys are recognised as a potential alternative nitrogen source for crops. Here we demonstrate that including species-rich legume-based leys in rotations helps to maximise synergies between agricultural ...

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B — Soil & Plant Science, 2019 The degree of complementarity vis-à-vis competition amongst the component crops, which is influenced by their relative planting dates, may affect the productivity of intercrop systems. This study assessed the effect of the relative planting dates of legumes on yield and yield components of three legume species.

The Symbiosome: Legume and Rhizobia Co-evolution toward a Nitrogen-Fixing Organelle?
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 In legume nodules, symbiosomes containing endosymbiotic rhizobial bacteria act as temporary plant organelles that are responsible for nitrogen fixation, these bacteria develop mutual metabolic dependence with the host legume.

India–United States Agricultural Trade Under the America‐First Agenda
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines India–United States agricultural trade under the America‐First agenda, highlighting trade patterns, tariff structures, and potential impacts of United States trade policies. Total agricultural trade remains modest at $7 billion annually, with India imposing higher tariffs (average 39%) than the United States (5%).
