The study was undertaken to investigate the drying characteristics of bottle guard powder experimentally. Bottle gourd powder was prepared by varying process parameters i.e. steam blanching time (2, 4, 5 and 8 min) and drying air temperature (50, 60, 70 and 80C) and one without blanched sample was evaluated for each drying air temperature. The bottle gourd shreds were subjected to thin layer hot air drying in a cabinet dryer keeping constant air velocity of 1.5 m/sec. The total average drying time required to attain the average moisture content of 0.04 kg water per kg dm at drying temperature of 50, 60, 70 and 80C was 660, 480, 420 and 345 minutes, respectively. The optimum values of steam blanching pre treatment (6 min) prior to hot air drying (60C) was found to be the most effective treatment to obtain better quality bottle gourd powder.
对护瓶粉的干燥特性进行了实验研究。通过不同的工艺参数,即蒸汽漂烫时间(2、4、5和8 min)和干燥空气温度(50、60、70和80℃)制备葫芦粉,并对每种干燥空气温度下未漂烫的样品进行评估。将葫芦碎料在柜式干燥机中进行薄层热风干燥,风速恒定为1.5 m/sec。在50、60、70和80℃的干燥温度下,达到0.04 kg / kg dm的平均含水量所需的总平均干燥时间分别为660、480、420和345 min。在热风干燥(60C)前进行蒸漂预处理(6min)是获得质量较好的葫芦粉的最有效处理。

Coffee, which is grown in more than 60 tropical countries on more than 11 million ha of land, is the most important commodity in the world market next to oil. It accounts for a significant proportion of the foreign currency earnings of many developing countries and the economies of many countries in Africa and South America depend on the revenue from coffee production for their stability and development. However, coffee farmers receive less than 5% of the retail value of a cup of coffee (Waller et al., 2007)

Soil is one of the factors of plant growth. Terrestrial plants have the following demands on soil: water, air, nutrients, and protection from toxins. Plants need adequate air, water, and nutrients in their root zone for optimum growth and yield (Foth HD,1990).Crop production and productivity can be improved by the combination of genotype, optimum environmental condition and appropriate management practices which can be generalized by the formula: Yield = G (genotype) x E (environment) x M (management). The genotype refers to healthy seeds of high yielding verities; environment refers to the soil‘s physical and chemical properties and climate in the particular location; and management refers to the farmers' ability and skill in managing crops and the farming system (Yihenew G.Selassie, 2015).

In Libya the varroa was first detected in the region of Al-Jabal Al-Akhader in 1976, where believed that it introduced by infected colonies that were imported from Bulgaria in 1974 to that region (Elshukri 2008).The mite then has spread covering almost the entire country in 1986 and has caused severe damage to the beekeeping industry, exceeded 50% losses in honey bee colonies. The miticide used in the first time is Folbex VA (bromopropylate)as a fumigant strip, replaced with apistan (Fluvalinate)in 1990 where used for long time till the mite has ultimately develop resistance (Alfallah 2000). Bayvaroll have been registered in 1994,Apilife Var where imported from Italy in 2002 which consist from natural material, Amitrazimported in formula of fumigant stripalthough is not registered by the government.In summer 1995 I lost 75% from my apiary because of delaying treatment only one month, emerge wingless and shortened abdomen young bee, in the end the colonies collapsed,colonies would collapse within 2 years without periodic treatment,by removing sealed drone brood for four to fiveconsecutive times in the beginning of season without using other method for controlling varroa is sufficient for several years in my apiary.in the last 10 years most of beekeepers reduce their uses of chemicals and miticide importing has been reduced.Many diseases such as American, and European foul brood and some other diseases has been disappeared in the last eight year’s because of honey bee organization stop their activity for importing bees from other countries. Many researchers try to spare the hive from residues of chemicals and found safe methods may introduced in program for alternative varroa control (AVC). Powdered sugar is most efficacious when it can be applied early in the season and exploit a winter brood-free period (Berry et al. 2012). Clove oil and tobacco extract both proved to be equally effective where gave the highest number of fallen Varroa mites (Rashid et al 2014). Good results achieved when lemon juice used with different concentrations with sugar syrup for controlling varroa on adult workers in honeybee colonies with little brood. (Abdel-Rahman and Rateb, 2008). In the United States they stop Amitraz from the marketing because of an issue of toxicity to bees through the strip plasticizer. (Jeff Pettis 2013). Researchers suggest that the drone-brood trapping method can be used as an element of an integrated control strategy to control varroa mites (Wantuch and Tarpy, 2009). By breeding mite-biting bees to control varroa, researcher found that it was possible to increase the proportion of chewed mites in the breeding population. Their results show that the trait is heritable. (Greg Hunt et al 2016)
在利比亚,1976年在Al-Jabal Al-Akhader地区首次发现了瓦罗亚病毒,据信它是由1974年从保加利亚进口到该地区的受感染菌落引入的(Elshukri 2008)。1986年,这种螨虫几乎覆盖了整个国家,对养蜂业造成了严重损害,蜜蜂种群损失超过50%。首次使用的杀螨剂是溴丙酯(Folbex VA)作为熏蒸剂条,1990年被apistan(氟valinate)取代,后者长期使用,直到螨虫最终产生抗药性(Alfallah 2000)。Bayvaroll于1994年注册,Apilife Var于2002年从意大利进口,由天然材料组成,阿米特拉唑以熏蒸条的配方进口,但没有得到政府的注册。1995年夏季,由于延迟处理仅一个月,我的蜂房损失了75%,出现了无翅、短腹的幼蜂,最终蜂群崩溃,如果不定期处理,蜂群将在2年内崩溃,在季节开始时连续四到五次去除密封的雄蜂巢,而不使用其他方法控制蜂病,在我的蜂房里已经足够几年了。在过去10年中,大多数养蜂人减少了化学品的使用,杀虫剂的进口也减少了。在过去的8年中,由于蜜蜂组织停止了从其他国家进口蜜蜂的活动,许多疾病如美国、欧洲的臭卵病和其他一些疾病已经消失。许多研究人员试图使蜂房免受化学物质残留的影响,并发现了安全的方法,可以引入替代瓦螨控制(AVC)计划。当糖粉可以在季节早期施用并利用冬季无卵期时最有效(Berry et al. 2012)。事实证明,丁香油和烟草提取物在杀灭瓦螨数量最多的地方同样有效(Rashid et al . 2014)。将不同浓度的柠檬汁与糖浆混合使用,对幼蜂较少的蜂群中工蜂的瓦螨进行防治,效果良好。(Abdel-Rahman and Rateb, 2008)。在美国,他们禁止Amitraz在市场上销售,因为条状增塑剂对蜜蜂有毒性。(杰夫·佩蒂斯,2013)。研究人员建议,无人机诱捕法可以作为控制瓦螨的综合控制策略的一个组成部分(Wantuch和Tarpy, 2009)。研究人员发现,通过培育叮咬螨虫的蜜蜂来控制瓦螨,有可能增加繁殖种群中咀嚼螨虫的比例。他们的研究结果表明,这种特征是可遗传的。(Greg Hunt et al . 2016)

A research study was conducted, to evaluate the physicochemical properties and quality of spontaneously fermented cabbage at five NaCl salt concentrations: 1.0%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% (w/w) were used as treatments and 0% (w/w) NaCl was used as control with 4 weeks of storage period. For this study, Brassica oleracea L. was shredded, salted and packed into glass jars and kept under anaerobic conditions for fermentation at 29°C±2 for 7 days. After initial fermentation physico-chemical analysis vz-pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids(TSS), total sugars(TS), ascorbic acid, moisture and ash content and sensory evaluation was conducted and based on the scores, most preferred three formulations T2, T3, T4 were selected for storage study at ambient conditions for 4 weeks. The physico-chemical analysis of stored sauerkraut samples revealed an increasing trend in titratable acidity (0.21-0.7%), TSS (18.94-110.51mg/kg) and decreasing trend in pH (5.72-3.94), moisture (90.84-83.86%), ash (3.51-2.94%) and vitamin C content (0.41-0.08 mg/kg), and TS was observed increasing on week 1 and shown a decreasing trend in the later part (45.21-37.85mg/kg). The sensory assessment revealed that there was significant increase in overall acceptability for the treatments with 2-3% salt solution in colour, aroma and taste, and all the salted treatments were observed for microbial test. At the end of the study, sauerkraut prepared with 3% NaCl was preferred for desirable nutritive values up to 21 days at ambient storage.

Korarima (Aframomum korarima) is native crop to Ethiopia, herbaceous, perennial and aromatic spice. Production is much lower mainly due to constraints such as lack of improved variety, Poor agronomic practices. Thus, the current study was conducted to determining Biomass Production and Distribution on Seedling of Korarima under media and watering frequency at the Jimma Research Center, southwest Ethiopia. The treatments included Soil media seven levels (Forest, Top , Forest : Top , Forest : Compost , Top : Compost , Forest : Top soil : compost, Top : Compost ( 3:1) ) and Watering frequency four levels (every day , two , three & four). A split plot design with three replications, Soil media and Watering frequency were assigned as main and sub-plot, respectively. Four months old seedlings were used to require the media and watering frequency and to record dry mass of leaves, stem, and root growth. Each organ was separately oven-dried and total dry matter production and allocation patterns were measured analyzed. The results described highly significant differences between the soil media and watering frequency for most of the parameters considered. As a result, root, leaf, stem, shoot and total biomass assimilation and partitioning. The highest score of DM weight was obtained under Korarima seeds sown in mixed top soil and compost soil media combination in 3:1 ratio and blended of forest soil, top soil and compost in 1:1:1 ratio with watering frequency every two days or every three days shown significant leaf , stem , shoot and root dry matter weight(g) , respectively. Watering frequency every four days shown low dry matter weight. (g). In general, interaction effect of the factors showed highly significant (p<0.01) variation in terms of the total dry matter share varied for the seedling growth parts (root = 17.61%, leaf = 48.66%, stem = 33.73% and whole shoot = 82.29%). It can be concluded that watering frequency every three or two days and media of top soil and compost combinations improved both dry mass and dry matter partitioning of seedling.

Jansen)","authors":"Jafer Dawid","doi":"10.20431/2454-6224.0208003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.20431/2454-6224.0208003","url":null,"abstract":"Korarima (Aframomum korarima) is native crop to Ethiopia, herbaceous, perennial and aromatic spice. Production is much lower mainly due to constraints such as lack of improved variety, Poor agronomic practices. Thus, the current study was conducted to determining Biomass Production and Distribution on Seedling of Korarima under media and watering frequency at the Jimma Research Center, southwest Ethiopia. The treatments included Soil media seven levels (Forest, Top , Forest : Top , Forest : Compost , Top : Compost , Forest : Top soil : compost, Top : Compost ( 3:1) ) and Watering frequency four levels (every day , two , three & four). A split plot design with three replications, Soil media and Watering frequency were assigned as main and sub-plot, respectively. Four months old seedlings were used to require the media and watering frequency and to record dry mass of leaves, stem, and root growth. Each organ was separately oven-dried and total dry matter production and allocation patterns were measured analyzed. The results described highly significant differences between the soil media and watering frequency for most of the parameters considered. As a result, root, leaf, stem, shoot and total biomass assimilation and partitioning. The highest score of DM weight was obtained under Korarima seeds sown in mixed top soil and compost soil media combination in 3:1 ratio and blended of forest soil, top soil and compost in 1:1:1 ratio with watering frequency every two days or every three days shown significant leaf , stem , shoot and root dry matter weight(g) , respectively. Watering frequency every four days shown low dry matter weight. (g). In general, interaction effect of the factors showed highly significant (p<0.01) variation in terms of the total dry matter share varied for the seedling growth parts (root = 17.61%, leaf = 48.66%, stem = 33.73% and whole shoot = 82.29%). It can be concluded that watering frequency every three or two days and media of top soil and compost combinations improved both dry mass and dry matter partitioning of seedling.","PeriodicalId":117425,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research Studies in Agricultural Sciences","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134147900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
