This study was conducted to assess the effect of the curing period, Abscisic Acids (ABA) levels and storage conditions on the sensory attributes of fried potato chips after 12 weeks of storageResearch Method: The experiment was a Split-Split-Plot Design (SSPD) with curing period, storage condition and ABA rates allocated to the main plot, subplot and sub-sub-plot respectively. Treatments were replicated three times; each consisting of 20 potato tubers, and data on sensory properties were taken at the end of the storage period. The data were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) using Genstat Discovery Edition. Means that showed significant differences were separated using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 0.05% level of probability.Findings: The results showed that curing, storage conditions and ABA rates had a highly significant influence on the organoleptic quality of fried potato chips after storage for 12 weeks under ambient storage conditions. Thus for the best sensory quality of fried potato chips in the study area, tubers should be treated with 4 ppm ABA, cured for seven days, and stored under a shaded pit or heap storage method.Research Limitations: The study evaluated the influence of curing, ABA and storage methods on the sensory attributes of fried potato chips under ambient conditions. The experiment is limited to four curing periods, three ABA rates, three storage conditions and one potato variety (cv Marabel).Originality/Value: This research offers a solution to the distressing problem of huge postharvest loss of potatoes in most developing countries due to a lack of reliable power supply, financial resources and the technical know-how to deploy modern technologies for postharvest management of potato tubers.","PeriodicalId":143103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Sciences – Sri Lanka","volume":"25 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141039311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to evaluate the response of the bean crop to organic fertilization consisting of composts from Lantana camara Linn, Calliandra Calothyrsus Meisn, and cow manure in combination or not with chemical fertilizers.Research Method: The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design on a very acidic ferralsol of Matongo commune in the northern part of Burundi. Each experimental plot corresponded to an application of a specific compost or cow manure combined or not with chemical fertilizers (dose N-P2O5-K2O: 18-46-30).Findings: Adding chemical fertilizers to cow manure and Lantana compost significantly increased the number of leaves, flowers, pods, and seeds, the total biomass, and the weight of seeds. These two treatments recorded the highest grain yields (1067 kg.ha-1 and 999 kg.ha-1 respectively). They were followed by the application of cow manure alone (582.90 kg.ha-1). The lowest yields were observed when applying Calliandra alone (167 kg.ha-1) or combined with chemical fertilizers (371 kg.ha-1), Lantana alone (338.15 kg.ha-1), chemical fertilizers alone (100.79 kg.ha-1), and on unfertilized soil (0.67 kg.ha-1).Originality/ Value: The Lantana camara compost can effectively replace farmyard manure for bean production on an acidic ferrallitic soil, and thus be useful to livestock-less farmers.","PeriodicalId":143103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Sciences – Sri Lanka","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141041730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Original Research articles which are relevant and published in English were only selected. The six-step selection process in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis Approach (PRISMA) was adopted.Findings: The majority of the publications focused on product development aspects rather than buffalo milk production aspects. Pure breeds of the locals, Murrah, Surti, and Nili-Ravi, and their crossbreeds are frequently cited in the literature. The daily average milk yields of Murrah, Local, Surti, and Nili-Ravi pure breeds were 4.7±2.3, 3.1±1.3, 3.0±1.19, and 1.2 L, respectively. Daily milk yields of the crossbreeds ranged from 1.1 – 5.0 L. Average lactation lengths were largely dependent on the breed in which Murrah recorded the highest (341±100 days). The average lactation length of the local breed was exceptionally shorter (156±27 days) than that of the exotic breeds (>235 days). The calving interval of the Murrah and Local buffaloes was the same (636 d). Pure breeds of Surti and Nili-Ravi recorded calving intervals of 489 and 411 d, respectively. Whereas, it ranged from 417-477 d among crossbreeds. Studies focused on milk compositions and physicochemical properties were extremely rare. Curd and cheese were the most focused products originating from buffalo milk.Value: This study summarises the buffalo milk production aspects in Sri Lanka and identifies research gaps in the area. Current literature reflects a satisfactory level of information relevant to the buffaloes reared in the Dry-Zone. This study recommends more research in milk composition analysis and lactation performance of the breeds and buffalo production in the Low-Country Wet Zone and Up-Country regions.","PeriodicalId":143103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Sciences – Sri Lanka","volume":"150 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141040767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To accomplish this, refrigeration, controlled atmospheres, ethylene absorbers, coatings, and biofilms are used. The antifungal activity of chitosan biofilms added to other polymers (starch, wax and bovine serum albumin) mixed with stingless bee honey (Melipona beecheii, M. solani and Scaptotrigona mexicana) was evaluated.Research Method: The biofilm combinations were performed as follows; honey origin (M. beecheii, M. solani, and S. mexicana), concentration (10%, 20%, 30%), and polymers (starch, S. mexicana wax and bovine serum albumin). The overlay method against Colletotrichum gloesporioides was used to evaluate the antifungal activity, the same as the physical and mechanical characteristics.Findings: Biofilms made with a) 30% of M. beecheii honey + 3g of starch, b) 30% + 20g of S. mexicana honey and wax, and c) 20% of S. mexicana honey + 20g of S. mexicana wax registered the highest growth inhibition values against C. gloesporioides (77.6%, 76.6% and 73.4%).

Therefore, this study aimed to provide baseline information on the development of a captive breeding system and to study the embryonic and larval development of A. dayi.Research Method: Matured A. dayi fish were acclimatised for two weeks prior to the experiments. A suitable breeding substrate to facilitate successful spawning was identified using two substrates; spawning mop, and sand while no substrate was used as the control. The subsequent breeding experiment (to find the best sex ratio) was performed using different sex combinations (Male: female 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 2:4). Subsequently, eggs were collected and analysed for fertility, hatchability, and embryonic development studies.Findings: Spawning mop seemed to be the most preferred spawning substrate for A. dayi. Egg parameters, including fertilisation rate and hatchability, were not significant upon the sex ratios; however, the ratio between male: and female (1:2) had the highest significance (p<0.05) in egg production (4 eggs/day). Moreover, we found that A. dayi eggs showed a lengthy incubation period (11 - 13 days at 25±1 °C), indicating their dormancy nature to bypass the hostile conditions before being hatched.Research Limitations: The breeding pattern under captivity needs to be examined over an extended period in different experimental settings, such as using other culture techniques with varying density ratios.Originality/Value: A. dayi can be successfully bred in captivity, and further this study gives the readers factual information on the embryonic development of A. dayi.","PeriodicalId":143103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Sciences – Sri Lanka","volume":"23 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141057777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For both initial and ratoon crops, it is recommended to apply 150 kg/ha of urea as a top dressing. This study investigated the impact of reducing the fertilizer application rate to 75% and employing alternative agronomic practices on hybrid fodder sorghum varieties grown in lowland fallow paddy fields in the dry zone during the Yala and third seasons.Research Method: The agronomic management practices, including four basal fertilizer rates (Urea:TSP: MOP) of 100:90:65 (BD1), 150:62:37 (BD2), 75:68:49 (BD3), and 113:47:28 (BD4); two top-dressing urea fertilizer rates of 150 (TD1) and 112.5 kg/ha (TD2); two plant spacing configurations of 45x30 (WS) and 45x15 cm (NS); and two irrigation interval regimes, 5 days up to 30 days followed by 8 days (SI) and 7 days up to 30 days followed by 10 days (LI) were investigated. These factors were combined into four agronomic management packages: AMP1 (BD1, TD1, WS, SI), AMP2 (BD2, TD1, NS, SI), AMP3 (BD3, TD2, WS, LI), and AMP4 (BD4, TD2, NS, LI). The study used a split-plot design with three replicates and assessed various parameters, including plant height, stem diameter, plant weight, leaf area index (LAI), number of tillers, and fodder yield in both the initial fodder sorghum crop and the first ratoon crop. The crops were harvested when 50% of the panicles on the plants were at the milk and dough grain stages.Findings: The initial crop exhibited significantly heavier plants having wider stems when grown with higher fertilizer rates, wider plant spacing, and shorter irrigation intervals in AMP1. Irrespective of fertilizer rate and irrigation interval, the initial crops tended to have higher LAI with narrow plant spacing in AMP2 and AMP4. In the ratoon crops, wider plant spacing in AMP1 and AMP3 resulted in clumps with a greater number of tillers and heavier plants. However, the ratoon crops also exhibited higher LAI with narrow plant spacing in AMP2 and AMP4. Total fodder dry matter yield (DMY) in AMP2 and AMP4 with narrow plant spacing was significantly greater for both varieties. Furthermore, the DMY was not affected by fertilizer rate and irrigation interval.Value: Hybrid fodder sorghum varieties (SX-17 and Dairygreen) cultivated at higher plant density, along with reduced fertilizer (75%) and irrigation, can produce comparable fodder yield (21.1 and 26.1 MT/ha, respectively) to those grown at lower plant density with more fertilizer and irrigation (24.6 and 28.1 MT/ha, respectively) in lowland paddy fields during Yala and third seasons in the dry zone.","PeriodicalId":143103,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Sciences – Sri Lanka","volume":"29 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141023267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
