Influence of Sweet Potato Plant Residue on Growth of Sweet Potato Vine Cuttings and Cowpea Plants

HortScience, 1986
Abstract Possible allelopathic effects of decaying sweet potato plant residue on sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] and cowpea [Vigna unquiculata (L.) Walp.] growth were assessed. Residue treatments consisted of factorial combinations of 2 sweet potato cultivars (‘Jewel’ or ‘Centennial’), 2 plant parts (vines or storage roots), and 2 methods of ...

Effect of ZnSO4 fertilizer on soil chemical properties, performance and proximate quality of sweet potato in a derived savanna ecology of Nigeria

Open Agriculture, 2018
Micro-nutrients especially zinc can not only increase the yield of sweet potato but can also improve the quality of tubers. Hence, experiments were carried out in 2015 and 2016 cropping seasons to determine the impact of various levels of ZnSO4 ...

Silver Ion Increases Endogenous Ethylene in Sweet Potato Vine Cuttings1

HortScience, 1979
Abstract Concentration of endogenous ethylene was higher in Ag+-treated cuttings of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam.) than in the control or in cuttings subjected to 48°C for 2 minutes. When leaf tissue was dipped in 0, 125, 250, or 500 mg/liter Ag+, endogenous ethylene was increased by the 250 and 500 mg/liter treatments.

Egg Yolk and Broiler Skin Pigmentation with Sweet Potato Vine Meal , ,

Poultry Science, 1974
Abstract Dehydrated sweet potato vine meal (SPVM) was evaluated as a xanthophyll pigment source for broiler skin and egg yolks. In the experiment with hens SPVM was compared with alfalfa meal in a diet in which these sources provided the only source of pigment.

Economic viability of banana peel and sweet potato vines in diets for rabbits

, 2023
Abstract The objective of this work was to study the economic feasibility of using banana peel (BP) and sweet potato vines (SPV) as substitutes for maize and alfalfa hay in diets for rabbits. BP and SPV were chosen to replace maize and alfalfa hay, because in addition to the aforementioned ingredients having similar nutritional characteristics,

Using phenology to improve invasive plant detection in fine‐scale hyperspectral drone‐based images

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Using drone‐based hyperspectral images of mixed temperate successional forests collected over a growing season, detection algorithms were produced for three invasive species of interest, which are not only invasive in Virginia but also much of the U.S.: Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven), Elaeagnus umbellata (autumn olive), and Rhamnus davurica ...
