Almost all economic sectors suffered from the COVID-19 pandemic and many companies survived, or even increased profits, thanks to e-commerce. Agriculture, that tends to follow a traditional business model neglecting internet, reported notable losses in 2020. As always, not all the farms suffered to the same extent, so the goal of the empirical analysis presented in this study is to test whether owning a website from which the production could be sold directly helped firms making profits......

The elder is a tree native to Europe that measures up to 6 meters, its flowers are white, and its fruits are purple. The fruits of this tree are produced throughout the year in cities such as Bogota, Colombia, and nowadays, the felling of this tree is increasing every day, and it is used as an ornamental tree and food for livestock. To use the residues in the treatment of this tree, this research seeks to design and manufacture an artisanal jam from elderberries. The main objective is to offer a healthy and wholesome food product that will help to promote the benefits of the tree and to increase its planting. The method used was divided into phases: gathering information about the shrub, elaboration of parameters for berry selection, process construction, pilot test for jam production, production adjustments, packaging selection and selec.....

A germination laboratory experiment was conducted at Cell Research Department, FCRI, ARC to study the effect of different salinity levels 0, 1000, 3000, 5000, 7000, and 9000 mg L–1 NaCl on twelve faba bean varieties that were arranged in a CRBD in three replications. Results of ANOVA showed that the effect of variety, salt concentration, and their interactions were significant (LSD at the level of p <0.05) for the different germination parameters i.e. germination rate index (GRI), germination index (GI), germination velocity (GV), the last day of germination (LDG), the first day of germination (FDG), final germination % (FG%), time spread of germination (TSG), as well as, the relative salt damage rate (RSDR). The increase in salinity level led to a decrease in germination percentage in all varieties. Giza- 40 and Misr-1 va..... ReadMore

Brassica napus L. (canola seeds) is one of the major edible oil sources in all over the world and is cultivated mainly for its oil rich seed. This study was assessed the utility to invigorate artificially deteriorated canola seeds (expose to 40°C and 100% Relative humidity for 24 hours) by hydro-priming (distilled water 100ml), halo-priming (NaCl), osmo-priming (KNO3), nutrient-priming (KH2PO4) solutions of 1, 2, 3 and 4% respectively for 8 hours and compared with control. Priming treatments cause significant germination percentage increase in hydro-priming (70%) with maximum seedling vigor index I and II (594.42 and 2.80). In NaCl 1% it was 66.67% as compare to control (48.33%). In KNO3 priming it was maximum at 4% (58.33%) and in KH2PO4 at 1% (60%). Results of experiment conclude that hydro-priming induced rap.....

Livestock significantly contributes to many agricultural-based economies and livelihood of rural poor communities, especially the smallholder farmers who form a large proportion of livestock keepers in developing countries (FAO, 2005). In sub-Saharan Africa, it contributes 30% to agricultural GDP with cattle contributing nearly 60% of the value of livestock products (AU-IBAR, 2010). In Uganda, the livestock sector is an important component of the agricultural sector, contributing 5 and18 percent to the National GDP and agricultural GDP, respectively. The sector is on steady growth of about 3 percent per annum. The livestock population comprises of cattle at 12.8 million, poultry 42 million, pigs 3.6 million; goats 4 million and sheep 3.8 million. It is estimated that 4.5 million households (70.8%) in the country rear at least one kind of ..... ReadMore

Turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn, family Zingiberaceae) is an herbaceous perennial plant, native to Tropical Southeast Asia particularly India. Turmeric is the historic and sacred spice of India referred to as ‘Indian saffron is an essential cash spice crop grown in India. It is utilized in diversified forms as a condiment, flavouring, and colouring agent and as a principal ingredient in Indian culinary as curry powder. It has anti-cancer and anti-viral activities and subsequently reveals used in the drug and cosmetic industry. The turmeric plant incorporates a yellowish colouring known as curcumin, an acrid volatile oil, starch, chlorides of calcium, woody fibre, and gum. The acrid oil is known as turmerol and has an aromatic odour. Alkaloids of oxalic acid also are present in yield crystals of potassium oxalate. Kumkum, famous with each h..... ReadMore

Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata Wied (Diptera: Tephritidae) is considered as one of the most deleterious fruit pests which may cause high pomegranate, Punica granatum L. yield losses in Turkey. Monitoring population density of herbivore insects is a significant element of integrated pest management strategies. Therefore, C. capitata population fluctuation was monitored via a SEDQ yellow trap + pheromone in a pomegranate orchard consisted of three cultivars, Acco, Hicaz, and Wonderful, in Seyhan, Adana in 2015. In addition, yield losses were calculated for all cultivars. There was a significant role of pomegranate cultivar on C. capitata catches by traps. Wonderful has the highest number of C. capitata following by Hicaz while traps in Acco caught the least number of fly adults. Peel thickness was 3.15, 3.05, and 2...... ReadMore

Sweetness is an economically important eating quality trait for sweet corn breeding. The various types of sweet corn are caused by single gene mutation [1]. The brittle2 and shrunken2 mutants accumulated 20% of starch found in the corn kernels [2, 3]. Due to mutation in ADP-glucose pyro phosphorylase reveals as a key regulatory enzyme to limit the rate of starch biosynthesis pathway [4-7]. The brittle2 (bt2) mutant is classified as class 1 super sweet corn [3,8,9], having 15-30% sugar of total carbohydrate content in the kernel, while normal corn contains about 3% sugar in the kernel [9,10]. Newly, the functional marker based on shrunken2 gene (sh2) was identified and developed [11]. This SNP marker designed within the coding region in exon 1 at position 154 of the coding sequence was clearly separated the sh2-based sweet corn from waxy c..... ReadMore
