Cropping system throughout assessment exhibits importance for the crop production and cultural practices profitability. This field study was undertaken in semi-arid climate to devise suitable system. Wheat was sown in winter season while, summer crops include; cotton, maize and mungbean, which were sown under conventional tillage (CT), permanent beds (PB) and no tillage (NT) respectively. Yield and yield attributes were significantly influenced by tillage systems, highest productive tillers (m), grains per spike and 1000-grain weight (g) was observed in permanent beds (PB). Grain yield (tha) was also significantly higher (4.03 t ha) in PB. System productivity in terms of wheat equivalent yield (WEY) of maize-wheat (MW) under PB was higher (10.26 t ha) followed by mungbean-wheat in permanent bed (9.40 t ha) and cotton-wheat in conventional tillage (9.26 tha). Highest cultivation cost was observed in the cotton-wheat followed by maize-wheat under conventional tillage and least was observed in the mungbean-wheat in no tillage. Cotton-wheat (CW) gave maximum net field benefit (US$. 1606.53ha) in under PB followed by mungbean-wheat (MbW) (US$.1411.72ha). However, maximum benefit cost ratio (BCR) (3.77) was recorded in mungbean-wheat system. Moreover, the cotton-wheat in permanent bed system was the best possible option for acquiring high production and land

Intact polar membrane lipids (IPLs) have recently been used as biomarkers to assess the diversity in microbial community as a result of stress conditions. Present study was aimed to investigate the impact of pesticides and their transformation products (TPs) on the soil microbial community. Soil was treated with isoproturon (IPU), glyphosate (GLYP), thifesulfuron methyl, propyzamide and their TPs at their maximum application rates. After seven weeks, IPLs were extracted from the soil and analysed by HPLC ESI-MS. The method was sensitive and effectively separated different classes of polar lipids on the basis of their head groups. The IPL profiles of IPU, GLYP and PROP treated soil showed significant (p<0.05) variations among the abundance of the polar lipids due to pesticide application. The impact of the pesticides was more obvious in changes induced in the relative amounts of phosphatidyl choline (PC), diacylglycerol trimethylhomoserine (DGTS), phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE), monomethyl phosphotidyl ethanolamine (PMME), monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (GL) and phosphatidyl glycerol (PG). It was concluded that the botanical pesticides and their TPs can induce changes in soil microbial diversity. Moreover, IPLs can be used as biomarkers for the assessment of the microbial response toward environmental stressors.

The rate-limiting step in starch synthesis entails the synthesis of ADP-Glc from Glc-1-P and ATP by AGPase. AGPase is a heterotetramer composed of two large subunits encoded by Sh2 and two small subunits encoded by Bt2. We examined the transcript level of each gene that encodes AGPase through quantitative real-time PCR (qRT_PCR) within endosperm and leaf tissues from 6 newer composite corn lines. The Sh2 and Bt2 genes presented upregulated expression levels in leaf and endosperm tissue. The highest expression level of these two genes in leaf tissues was observed in UM 1 with 6.96 fold and in UM 11 with 3.94 fold respectively. Meanwhile, the highest transcript level of Sh2 and Bt2 genes in endosperm tissues were observed in UM 2 with 5.96 fold and UM 1 with 7.36 fold respectively. The correlation coefficient between the expression levels of the Sh2 gene and the morphological traits in endosperm tissue indicated that it was significantly and positively correlated with ear length (0.75), ear weight (0.74) and yield (0.66). Meanwhile , the correlation coefficient results indicate that the expression level of Bt2 in endosperm tissue was significantly and positively correlated with1000 kernel weight (0.93), yield (0.90), ear weight (0.87) and ear length (0.87). In conclusion, via cross transformation approaches, two main yield-related genes (Sh2 and Bt2) were modified in the new advanced corn lines. Overexpression of Sh2 and Bt2 genes can increase the starch content through enhancing the activity of AGPase and subsequently the yield enhancement occurred.

One of the main negative effects of climate change is the increasing scarcity of water worldwide. Wheat is the second major staple food of the world and drought is the main factor affecting its production. In order to ensure food security, there is need to adopt easy and economic techniques for increasing crop production under limited water resources. Two of the effective techniques are; use of ground covers and partial root zone drying (PRD). Experiments were comprised of two irrigation methods (I1 = irrigation on both sides of roots and I2 = irrigation to only one side of root as alternate irrigation) and four ground covers (M0 = open ground without any cover, M1 = black plastic cover, M2 = wheat straw cover and M4 = cotton sticks cover). Results revealed that more spike length, number of spikelets and grains were found in full irrigation treatment. While water use efficiency and grain nutrient (NPK) contents were more in PRD. All soil covers suppress the weeds and significantly influenced the yield attributes as well as the grain nutrient contents. However, black plastic cover performed the best.

Compost and its water extract have the potential to suppress plant diseases. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of compost and compost enriched with antagonistic fungi (compost plus) in controlling powdery mildew and early blight diseases in tomatoes, in the greenhouse and in the field. Compost and compost plus were applied as water extract sprayed onto the leaves every three or seven days, with or without combination with its applications in the planting media. The results showed that the microbial-enriched compost resulted in better disease suppression than the non-enriched compost. The application of compost or compost plus to the growth medium enhanced the effects of the water extract sprayed on the leaves. The compost plus incorporated in the nursery medium and planting holes, as well as spraying the water extract on the leaves every three or seven days, suppressed powdery mildew and early blight diseases by 41–49%. This study revealed that even though the enriched compost was intended for controlling soilborne diseases, their water extract can also be used for controlling airborne diseases.

The aim of study was to determine the effect of (BrufenTM) alone and in conjugation with vitamin E and Selenium in broilers against coccidiosis. One hundred randomly allocated (25 birds in each group i.e., A, B, C & D) day-old broiler chicks underwent the current trial. Group A, B and C were challenged with 60,000-70,000 sporulated oocysts of genus Eimeria at 21st day of age. Group A and B were administered with (BrufenTM) and combination of (BrufenTM) with vitamin E and Selenium (E-SelTM) @ 100mg/kg body weight and 1ml/10 liters of drinking water, respectively. Group C and D were kept as negative (infected & un-medicated) and positive (un-infected & un-medicated) controls, respectively. Therapeutic response was measured on the basis of mortality, oocysts count, weight gains, coccidial lesion scorings and weight of lymphoid organs. Maximum mortality was observed in group C (17/25), followed by group A (12/25), than in group B (8/25) post coccidial infection. Coccidial lesion scores and oocysts count were significantly lower in groups (A & B) administered with Ibuprofen. Moreover, maximum weight gain and reduced lymphoid organ to body weight ratio were also observed in chicken of group B as compared to A, C and D. The study suggested synergistic and enhanced protective response of Ibuprofen in combination with vitamin E and Selenium against chicken coccidiosis.

Bodyweight estimation is important for any aspect of livestock management. Jabres cattle farmers use bodyweight estimation to determine the cattle price in the traditional market. Nowadays, they only use eye-based assessment to predict cattle body weight with a lot of inaccuracies. In this study, the cattle body weight was estimated based on body size measurements data, namely body length, heart girth, withers height, rump height, face length, and face width. The data were collected from Jabres cattle reared in the district of Bantarkawung, Brebes, Central Java, Indonesia. The data were taken from 521 Jabres cattle which were stratified by sex and age. Generally, male Jabres cattle have a smaller body size than female Jabres cattle and younger cattle have significant smaller body size than elder cattle. The highest correlation coefficient came from body weight and heart girth. The equation to predict body weight was obtained by multiple linear regression and factorial analysis scores followed by multiple linear regression methods. The result showed that multiple linear regression method was preferable to be used to predict body weight of Jabres cattle because of its better accuracy, better fitness, and more applicable for Jabres cattle farmers.
