The fertilizer 2.5 t/ha CJ gave the higher maize grain yield of 3.1 t/ha.
The highest maize yield was obtained from CF, with relative harvest of 178% compared with the control and 126% compared with F, but was comparable to C. For wheat and potato, the yields obtained from CF, C and F were comparable.
The primary objective of this study was to examine the effects of high maize silage (MS) versus high grass silage (GS) diets, without or with added neutral detergent fiber (NDF) on milk production and methane emission of dairy cattle, using GreenFeed (GF) or respiration chamber (RC) techniques for methane emission measurements.
This gain in proportionality was greater at high maize densities, for which the distance-based method allowed almost no cultivation of GM crops.
To investigate the nature of the P1 allele in the high altitude maize landraces, we determined the copy number of the different alleles of the high altitude landraces by quantitative PCR [ 23].
A significantly high maize crop yield was observed in treatment 50FW50M.
To our knowledge diets with such high maize starch or greaves-meal concentrations have not been used previously in studies.
The protein contents of the high-protein maize hybrids were from 14.7 to 38.2% higher than the conventional maize and, with the exception of lysine, contained higher levels of both essential and non essential amino acids.
As a result, consumer dependence on market maize was expected to be particularly high in the two districts with the highest market maize aflatoxin levels (Makueni and Kitui), thus amplifying the cycle of reexposure to aflatoxin in this population.
N fertilization significantly enhanced the cumulative PE when maize straw was not added (N2 induced PE at C0 was + 19% of C0N0 SOC decomposition), but had no significant effect when the highest rate maize straw was amended (N2 induced PE at C5 was 8% of C0N0 SOC decomposition), indicating that maize straw amendment can moderate the PE promoted by N fertilization.
