Abstract:
... Hydroponic fodder production in controlled environment (CE) settings have gained more focus in recent years due to the shortage of agricultural land for food production and the adverse effect of climate changes. However, the operation costs and dry matter issues are the major concerns for the sustainability of fodder production in the CE. This study provides a comprehensive literature review on te ...

The N application rate used for the production of the whole maize (Zea mays L.) plant (WMP) affects the produced feed and environment. We carried out a 2-year field experiment aiming to measure how N application rates affect WMP forage production, and estimated the impact on the environment. Five N application treatmen ...

Abstract:
... In animal foraging, the optimal search strategy in an unknown environment varies depending on the context, such as the resource density and season. When food is distributed sparsely and uniformly, superdiffusive walks outperform normal-diffusive walks. However, superdiffusive walks are no longer advantageous when random walkers forage in resource-rich environments. It is not currently clear whethe ...

Sorghum is a drought-tolerant cereal that is widely grown in the vast Africa’s arid and semi-arid areas. Apart from drought, salinity is a major abiotic factor that, in addition to natural causes, has been exacerbated by increased poor anthropological activ ...

Damage comes in many forms, although forage loss is typically the greatest concern. These losses are believed to be significant for ranchers, particularly given the economically marginal environment in which they exist, yet our understanding of these economic losses is limi ...
