Assessment of Maize (Zea mays) as Feed Resource for Poultry

, 2017
Maize, also known as corn ( Zea mays L), has been recognised worldwide as a major energy feed ingredient in the diets of poultry. Its major nutritional limitation has been the low protein content and poor protein quality, which necessitates the use of ...

Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte in confrontation mood : simultaneous geographical and host spectrum expansion in southeastern Slovenia [PDF]

, 2008
Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, in its original North American habitat also known as western corn rootworm beetle, actively continues its expansion to new territories and uses Homo sapiens as its prime vector.

Late spring urea application increased apparent carbon dioxide equivalence emissions but fall and summer applications did not

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Synchronizing nitrogen (N) fertilizer application with plant N uptake, as opposed to applying earlier, is believed to improve N use efficiency while simultaneously reducing nitrate leaching, ammonia volatilization, and greenhouse gas emissions. However, little research has been conducted to confirm that this is true.

Bacterial Communities in the Rhizosphere of Amilaceous Maize (Zea mays L.) as Assessed by Pyrosequencing

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Maize (Zea mays L.) is the staple diet of the native peasants in the Quechua region of the Peruvian Andes who continue growing it in small plots called chacras following ancestral traditions.

Can conservation drainage practices contribute to climate change mitigation?

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation drainage practices can mitigate water quality impacts of subsurface drainage, but their potential for climate change mitigation remains poorly understood. We summarized processes by which tile‐drained croplands impact climate and assessed potential of conservation drainage practices to alter emissions of the greenhouse gases ...

Breeding for Drought Tolerance in Maize (Zea mays L.)

, 2016
Drought, like many other environmental stresses, has adverse effects on crop yield including maize (Zea mays L.). Low water availability is one of the major causes for maize yield reductions affecting the majority of the farmed regions around the world ...

Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances in agricultural systems: Human dietary exposure via beef raised on corn stover from a field with contaminated biosolids

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in biosolid‐amended soils can transfer and accumulate in crops, cattle, and people. Bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) are often applied to estimate the transfer of contaminants from soil to crops. However, they can vary widely and introduce uncertainty to exposure and risk estimates. We, therefore, aimed

Soil carbon storage or sustainable conservation agriculture practices—Which should be our goal?

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Practices such as no‐tillage, cover crops, or diversification of crop rotation are thought to be capable of addressing climate change challenges while ensuring food security. Public and private sectors at national and international levels are currently incentivizing farmers to adopt these practices to increase soil carbon (C) levels, thus ...
