The mean DLI in the greenhouse was significantly lower than GREENBOX, with average values of 14.52 and 10.44 mol/m2·d over summer and winter, respectively. Thus, the light conditions in the GREENBOX could be consistently regulated at the grower’s discretion for optimal growth. Although the DLI in the GREENBOX showed a slight decline over each growing …

Cultivars can be combined with early,mid, and late season ripening to extend the harvest season over 6 to 8 weeks.The intended method of harvest also affects cultivar selection, such as mechanical harvesting or hand harvesting . For mechanical harvesting, plants should exhibit concentrated ripening periods, moderate vigor, a moderate number of narrowly upright canes , a large number …

Plant breeders have been successful in selecting carrot, sweet potato, and tomato cultivars with comparably high carotenoid levels and vitamin A content; onion and tomato cultivars with longer shelf-lives, sweet corn cultivars that maintain their sweetness longer after harvest; cantaloupe and watermelon cultivars with higher sugar content and firmer flesh, etc.. These are just a …
Therefore disease resistance is most important when the disease is a limiting factor in production, and is especially important for many virus diseases. The high interest in, and the increasing present demand for breeding for disease and pest resistance is related to a generalized interest in releasing “environmentally friendly” vegetable cultivars requiring sparse or no …
Vegetables make up about 35% of per capita food consumption in China, a much higher share than the world average . Besides India, other southern Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Cambodia, North and South Vietnam, Laos and Philippines are also high producers and great consumer of vegetables. For example, vegetables comprise 40% of the Bangladeshi …

A testing of four modeling methods across 18 species with different levels of ecological specialization using six different sample size treatments and three different evaluation measures revealed that MAXENT was the most capable of the four modeling methods in producing useful results with sample sizes as small as 5, 10and 25 occurrences. MAXENT also predicted the largest area …
SSCM is defined as reformist SCM “which manages the material, information and capital flows as well as cooperation among companies along the supply chain while taking goals from all three dimensions of sustainable development, i.e. economic, environmental and social,into account which are derived from customer and stakeholder requirements”.The holistic view on sustainable supply chain management …
Lake Sebu’s Municipal Agriculturist claimed that the Department of Agriculture provides farm inputs , farm equipment , farming seminars and trainings, and livelihood programs. These interventions are provided through farmers’ organizations. Free seedlings and fertilizers from the government are distributed by recognized farm organizations to their members. Farm equipment and implements such as thresher and corns heller, on the other hand, …

Both at 60 and 75 DAS, Agrodhan-14 was the tallest cultivar which was followed by BRRI hybrid dhan3, and BRRI dhan28 was the shortest one which was at par with BRRI dhan59 and BRRI dhan50. At harvest, plant height ranged from 74.4 to 91.97 cm. Agrodhan-14 appeared as the tallest variety which was at par …
Also,nutrients are taken up from deeper layers by roots of trees and shrubs and returned to the top soil via litter fall and root senescence.Restoration of soil fertility by this means requires several years of fallow and has become inadequate in the face of increasing populations and food demand as well as competing alternative land …
