A total of five field experiments were conducted over a two-year period (2020, 2021) in southwestern Ontario to determine if MHR Canada fleabane control with 2,4-D ester applied PP can be improved by adding UAN to the spray solution. Glyphosate + 2,4-D ester applied PP with various rates of UAN caused no soybean injury. The control of MHR Canada fleabane decreased when UAN was added to the spray solution, especially at higher rates evaluated. At 4 weeks after treatment (WAT), the predicted percent UAN concentration in the spray solution that caused a 5, 10, 20, or 50% decrease in MHR Canada fleabane control was 12, 17, 25, and 52%, respectively. At 8 WAT, the predicted percent UAN concentration that caused a 5, 10, 20, or 50% decrease in MHR Canada fleabane control was 10, 13, 18, and 33%, respectively. At 8 WAT, the predicted percent UAN concentration that caused a 5 and 10% increase in MHR Canada fleabane density was 36 and 73%, respectively. At 8 WAT, the predicted percent UAN concentration that caused a 5, 10, 20, or 50% increase in MHR Canada fleabane biomass was 2, 4, 8, and 19%, respectively. The predicted percent UAN concentration that caused a 5, 10, and 20% decrease in soybean yield was 1, 3, and 12%, respectively. This study concludes that the addition of 28% UAN, especially at the higher concentration, to 2,4-D ester reduces control and increases the density and biomass of MHR Canada fleabane.","PeriodicalId":14884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73334556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been estimated that global plant-based alternative protein market could swell to $162 billion in the next decade from $29.4 billion in 2020 and every tenth portion of meat, eggs, and dairy eaten around the globe by 2035 could be derived from plant proteins. White lupin (Lupinus albus L.), a legume, has been researched in Virginia for several years which has resulted in development of several winter-hardy and high yielding lines. However, concentrations of protein and relative concentrations of various amino acids in seeds of these lines are not known. Therefore, objective of this study was to characterize protein in winter-hardy lupin lines. Seeds of five winter-hardy white lupin lines grown during 2020-2021 contained about 51% protein as compared to literature values of about 35 and 24% protein in soybean and winter pea seeds, respectively. Concentrations of nine essential amino acids (isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan, valine, phenylalanine, and histidine) in lupin seed varied from 1.25 to 1.41, 1.98 to 2.51, 1.12 to 1.60, 0.21 to 0.27, 1.03 to 1.28, 0.25 to 0.30, 1.22 to 1.40, 1.14 to 1.28, and 0.69 to 0.79, respectively. These concentrations compared quite well with those in soybean and winter pea seed. These results indicate that white lupin has considerable potential to meet alternative plant protein needs of manufactures and consumers.","PeriodicalId":14884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89034540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of trehalose as a partial replacement of sugar on the physicochemical properties of the brown rice tofu during storage. As a result, the L* values for the brown rice tofu without trehalose addition and with the application of 1% trehalose decreased significantly with the passage of the storage day. In contrast, 10% trehalose replacement provided a marked positive effect on the color retention of the brown rice tofu, especially whiteness index, suggesting the prevention of the browning of the brown rice tofu. The water content of the brown rice tofu with incorporation of 10% trehalose was significantly high when compared with other tested brown rice tofu after 7 days of storage, resulting in suppression of the hardening of the brown rice tofu. In addition, the incorporation of trehalose could be suppressed the microbial growth on the brown rice tofu. This study proved that a partial replacement of sugar with trehalose, especially 10% trehalose, could be beneficial on the prevention of the quality degradation and improvement of the shelf life, such as prevention of the browning and suppression of the hardening and microbial growth of the brown rice tofu during storage.","PeriodicalId":14884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79905990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectif of this study was to inventory local knowledge on the management of the Fall armyworm (FAW) by maize farmers in central Benin. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect information from 1885 maize farmers in six communes in central Benin. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, multivariate analysis and logistic regressions. Results showed that farmers consider FAW attacks as a major constraint to maize production. The common control method used by maize farmers is chemical control (90% of respondents) with synthetic products. Chemical families such as Pyrethroids, Avermectins, Neonicotinoids, Organophosphates are used. The farmers (4%) use organic products such as aqueous extracts of Azadirachta indica, Jatropha curcas and Carica papaya to control FAW. Certain farmers do not used any control method for FAW. Socioeconomic characteristics such as area planted, age, experience in maize production, farmer’s organization membership, level of education, gender, and income level of the farmer significantly determine (p < 0.05) the type of control method used against FAW. These factors should be taken into account by extension programs. Extension services can use farmers in these socio-economic categories as innovators to spread new and more effective control methods against Fall armyworm.","PeriodicalId":14884,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science","volume":"100 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87972718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the expression of the genes in chloroplasts that contribute to photosynthesis and CO2 assimilation was also measured in response to these herbicide treatments. LmALS was upregulated (> 3-fold) whereas LmpsbA was downregulated (> 40-fold) at 8 h after chlorsulfuron and atrazine treatments respectively. However, LmEPSPS gene expression remained similar to control levels at 8 h after glyphosate treatment. LmHPPD gene showed > 1-fold higher expression at 8 h after mesotrione treatment. LmCAB, a major component of the photosystem II light-harvesting complex, was downregulated immediately (8 h) after chlorsulfuron, atrazine, glyphosate, and mesotrione treatments respectively. Similarly, LmRubisco, was downregulated after glyphosate and mesotrione treatments. However, LmRubisco was upregulated 0.4-fold after chlorsulfuron treatment and remained unaffected after atrazine treatment.
