Its production is dramatically affect by the pink stem borer—Sesamia calamistis (Hampson, Noctuidae) and sugarcane borer—Eldana saccharina (Walker, Pyralidae) that are endemic in Southeastern Nigeria. In areas of stress, existing genotypes may marginally do well due to their inherent capabilities. Therefore, it is possible to find useful genes in such areas of stress, since such genes have been responsible for the survival of host crops over the years. Evaluation study was conducted for a range of agronomic characteristics and resistance attributes for 209 local maize collections from Southeastern Nigeria along with three improved check varieties. Field trials were conducted at three locations in a total of four environments in 2001. Highly significant genotypic variances as were noted in all the traits, are indicative of the magnitude of variation that exists among the genotypes, thus providing the opportunity of selection for desirable traits. Furthermore, four traits, namely, leaf feeding, ear damage, stalk lodging and yield were used from across the environments to construct a rank summation index (RSI), which was used to rank the entries for resistance to stem borers. This RSI led to the identification of 11 genotypes which represents the best 5% of the 212 genotypes in resistance ability. Genotype AMA TZBR-WC1 (from International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan) had the best overall resistance levels, followed by genotypes SE NG-77 and SE NG-67 (from Umuahia North), SE NG-62 (from Ikwuano), SE NG-148 (from Ukwa West), SE NG-106 (from Bende), SE NG-119 (from Isiala Ngwa), SE NG-33 (from Ikwuano) and SE NG-65 (from Umuahia North).","PeriodicalId":14931,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology","volume":"47 1","pages":"174-182"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89664327","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}

Physicochemical and microbiological properties, and thiobarbituric acid reactant substances (TBARS) values were evaluated during 8-weeks of refrigerated storage. The treatments were; non tea catechin (CTL), tea catechin 0.1% (TRT1), tea catechin 0.25% (TRT2), tea catechin 0.5% (TRT3). Cooking loss and expressible moisture (%) of sausages with the addition of tea catechin (TRT2 and TRT3) were higher than those of CTL. Springiness and chewiness of TRT3 were lower than CTL ( p <0.05). Hardness values of CTL were higher than those of TRT1, TRT2 and TRT3 ( p <0.05). TBA values of sausages containing tea catechin were increased during 4-weeks of storage ( p <0.05) and those with 0.5% tea catechin had highest TBA values at 4 week of storage ( p <0.05). However, antioxidative activities of sausage were not affected by the addition of tea catechin, regardless of the addition level value. Expressible moisture (%) and textural values were also reduced with the addition of tea catechin. These results indicated that the tea catechin didn’t inhibit the lipid-oxidation at higher than certain amount during refrigerated storage, and increased level of tea catechin increase cooking loss and expressible moisture(%), resulting in the decreased cooking yield (%) of emulsified sausages. Thus, to have a maximum effect of functionality of tea catechin without quality defects, the minimum amount(<0.1%) of tea catechin might be applied to the meat products.","PeriodicalId":14931,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"33-44"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77987173","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}

Summer durable cultivar is warranted because hot summer seriously deters the production. The demeand of domestic breeding has been suggested because initial price of stock plant is too high for S. Korean growers. Therefore, our research team has initiated since 2007 aiming summer tolerant cultivar and lowering the royalty for domestic growers. In this study, vase life was measured and preference test was performed for the breeding lines in order to facilitate the selection process. The breeding lines were D13, D42, C266 and C176, which were applied for variety registration. Cut flowers were treated in tab water with and without conservation solution, and vase life was measured.

Dual fuel generators use two fuel types simultaneously in their operations. This is however faced with challenges in control and fuel regulation since their operation must be economically feasible and convenient. To achieve this, an intelligent controller that regulates generator operations is necessary. This research work, set to determine operation characteristic of these generators and fuel‐load relationship of the dual fuel engines in order to design a control system for a dual fuel power generator system. Generator characteristics such as fuel consumption on various loads were obtained through experiments; it was found that injection of biogas in diesel engine saves diesel consumption by approximately 30% on low load and 60% on high load. The presented model switches the generator when needed and adjusts biogas inlet in steps proportional to the load. It works by monitoring load, injecting a small volume of biogas for loads below 10% and increasing it as the load increases to maximum possible volume for load above 80%. The model was tested through simulation of the obtained data on a Siemens ™ micro Logic controller demonstrating a solution to control challenges. This model logic for control and offers advanced logic electronic control for local applications. It is essential in providing a versatile solution for a middle sized diesel biogas dual fuel power generator control.","PeriodicalId":14931,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology","volume":"31 1","pages":"187-205"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2014-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77089999","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}

Due to the nature of the overwintering adults that spend winter time underneath bark the control of the pear psylla is very difficult. Thus, one of the effective control methods recommended includes a spray of machine oil emulsion, when overwintering adults start to move upward to tree branches and when eggs that have been oviposited by overwintered adult females are observed. Previously, the model that predicts the onset date of upward-movement and oviposition has been proposed on the basis of weather and ecological information of the pear psylla, but it based the information obtained from the central region of Korea, requiring the data from the southern part of Korea that is warmer than central region. In this study, therefore, we investigated annual occurrence of the pear psylla by weekly field observation and meteorological data obtained by automatic weather station (AWS) that has been installed at Bonghwang in Naju City. As a result, we found 14 days difference for the onset of upward-movement at maximum and 7 days difference for the first observation of eggs at Naju City compared with the existing prediction. Consequently, additional study for prediction model and resultant modification of the control strategy is needed, targeting the pear psylla populations occurring in southern region of Korea.","PeriodicalId":14931,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology","volume":"84 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90076459","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}
