Summary An attempt has been made to estimate quantitatively the amount of N fixed by legume and transferred to the cereal in association in intercropping systems of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) — gram (Cicer arietinum L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) —cowpea (Vigna unguiculate L.) by labelling soil and fertilizer nitrogen with 15N. The intercropped legumes have been found to fix significantly higher amounts of N as compared with legumes in sole cropping if the intercropped cereal-legume received the same dose of fertilizer N as the sole cereal crop. But when half of the dose of the fertilizer N applied to sole cereal crop was received by intercropped plants, the amount of N fixed by legumes in association with cereals was significantly less than that fixed by sole legumes. Under field conditions 28% of the total N uptake by maize (21.2 kg N ha–1) was of atmospheric origin and was obtained by transfer of fixed N by cowpea grown in association with maize. Under greenhouse conditions gram and summer and monsoon season cowpea have been found to contribute 14%–20%, 16% and 32% of the total N uptake by associated wheat and summer and monsoon maize crops, respectively. Inoculation of cowpea seeds with Rhizobium increased both the amount of N fixed by cowpea and transferred to maize in intercropping system. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of seaweed Champia parvula and identification of active compounds for this action. In this regard, C. parvula crude extracts were obtained from n-hexane, ethyl acetate, chloroform, methanol, and water used to study the antifungal action. Results showed that methanolic extract had potent action against C. albicans, C. tropicalis, T. mentagrophytes, and A.flavus, with the highest inhibition of 16.7 mm found against C. tropicalis. Minimum inhibition concentration at 12.5 and minimum fungal concentration at 25 μg/mL were found in the methanolic extract. Therefore, to identify the bioactive compound for this antifungal action in the methanolic extract, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) were used. The RP-HPLC had three peaks with retention times at 3.30, 3.86, and 4.73 min, showing the presence of ester fatty acid compound. Further, these compounds were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gas chromatography (GC), and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), which showed the presence of long-chain aliphatic fatty acid like eicosanoic acid with formation of oct-1-en-3-ol compounds attached. 相似文献

The oomycete Phytophthora colocasiae that causes taro leaf blight is the most devastating disease of taro and is widely distributed worldwide. Molecular and phenotypic techniques were employed for assessing and exploiting the genetic variability among four populations of P. colocasiae obtained from a fine spatial scale (multiple leaf blight lesions on single taro leaf). Phenotypic characters such as virulence, morphology and mating type showed no variation. ITS characterization revealed detectable polymorphism among isolates of P. colocasiae. The mean number of haplotypes (H), haplotype diversity (HD), nucleotide diversity (π), and nucleotide substitution rate (θ) among analyzed sequences were 6.75, 1.00, 0.069, and 0.088 respectively. High levels of inter and intra specific variation were detected by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assays. Moderate genetic diversity (H?=?0.2651) was observed among populations of P. colocasiae. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) confirmed that most of the genetic variability was confined to within a population (63.54 %). The coefficient of genetic differentiation among populations (G ST ) was 0.2007 and estimates of gene flow (Nm) among populations was 1.991 migrants per generation. Cluster analysis using UPGMA revealed that individuals from the same population failed to cluster in one distinct group. The results of the study reveal considerable genetic diversity among and within populations of P. colocasiae obtained from fine spatial scale. The possible mechanisms and implications of this genetic variation are discussed. 相似文献

A cross-sectional study was carried out to identify risk factors for bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection in 62 randomly selected dairy herds which were tested for BVD serum antibodies by using an indirect ELISA kit (IDEXX). Results from the chi-square test analysis were interpreted by analyzing by chi-square test. A sum of 500 sera samples were screened and 66 animals (13.20%) showed positive for BVDV antibody. Within herd, BVD seroprevalence was 12–65%. This study concluded that epidemiological risk factors like location, herd size, housing patterns like, tail to tail system, roofing pattern, distance between the manure pit and farm, and distance between farms were significantly associated with BVDV serological status (P?<?0.05). 相似文献

The practical importance of soil tests in bringing about efficient use of fertilizers is well established. Extensive areas in India are producing Only a fraction of their yield potential due to the lack of enough plant nutrients whose need could be easily assessed by soil tests and suitable recommendations of fertilizer use to increase crop production could be given. 相似文献

An extracellular chitinase was purified from Bacillus subtilis. The lethal concentration (LC50) was determined by using chitinase in first, second, and third instars of Spodoptera litura Fab. Chitinase showed the highest insecticidal activity at 6 μM concentration within 48 h. The nutritional indices were also significantly affected by the 6 μM concentration (P < 0.05). Food consumption, efficiency of conversion of ingested and digested food, relative growth rate, and consumption values declined significantly while approximate digestibility was increased. Our study indicates that treatment of host plant leaves with the chitinase can regulate (reduce) larval growth and weight, and enhance the mortality. This may serve as an effective biocide and alternative to Bt toxin. 相似文献

The objective of this multiple-phase study was to determine the accuracy of an on-line near-infrared (NIR) spectral reflectance system to predict 14-d-aged cooked beef tenderness. In phase I, 292 carcasses (140 US Select, 152 US Choice) were selected (d 2) from 2 commercial beef processing facilities. After carcass selection, longissimus lumborum (LL) muscle sections (ribs 9 to 12) were individually identified, vacuum-packaged, and transported to the Oklahoma State University Meats Laboratory, where a 2.54-cm-thick steak (n = 1) was fabricated and stored in refrigerated conditions (1 degrees C +/- 1). Following a 30-min oxygenation period, a NIR spectral scan was obtained on the 12th-rib LL steak. Steaks (d 3) were individually vacuum-packaged and aged at 4 degrees C for a total of 14 d before cooking slice shear force (SSF) analysis. In phases II and III, 476 carcasses (258 US Select, 218 US Choice) were immediately NIR scanned after carcass presentation to in-plant USDA grading personnel. In a similar fashion, all LL steaks were aged (1 degrees C +/- 1) for 14 d before cooking (70 degrees C) and conducting SSF. Of the phase I and II samples, 39 (6.77%) were categorized as being tough (i.e., >/= 25 kg of SSF after the 14-d postmortem aging period). Of these 39 tough samples, 20 (3.7% error rate) were correctly placed in the 90% certification level. Another 10 tough samples were placed in the 80% certification level (2.0% error rate). The overall NIR certified tender group was 1.67 kg more tender (P < 0.05) than LL samples from the noncertified samples. When the NIR predicted samples to be tough, 10% of the samples were eliminated from the phase I and II LL populations at 90% certification. The population SSF mean improved in excess of 6.5 kg. For phase III, SSF evaluation by an independent third party indicated the NIR system was able to successfully sort tough from tender LL samples to 70% certification levels. It was concluded that NIR scanning offers an in-plant opportunity to sort carcasses into tenderness outcome groups for guaranteed-tender branded beef programs. 相似文献
