The timing of phenological stages is made according to the definitions of the Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt, and CHemical industry (BBCH). Based on Julian day number, on average for 4 years, the phenophases occurred from the 85.54 day of year, marked by “beginning of leaf bud swelling/inflorescence bud swelling” (BBCH 01/51), until 1the 23.36 day of year for phenophase ''end of flowering'' (BBCH 69). Analyzing the data obtained, they allowed us to assess the temporal trends of development of budding and flowering phenophases and the trends of risks in the light of global warming. The research will be continued in order to analyze a longer period of time and to analyze different cultivars, in order to achieve sustainable and competitive fruit crops.","PeriodicalId":44979,"journal":{"name":"AgroLife Scientific Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47695612","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}

Eight antimicrobials used in ruminants and on this specific farm (penicillin, streptomycin, amoxicillin, gentamicin, oxytetracycline, tulathromycin, cefaclor, trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole) were tested for their efficacy against the bacterial isolates. The samples were subjected to standard microbiological examinations; subsequently, strains such as Escherichia fergusoni, Escherichia hermannii, Shigella dysenteriae, Proteus penneri, Morganella morganii ssp. siboni, Escherichia coli, Escherichia vulneris, with potentially high pathogenicity were identified. The highest antibacterial efficacy was observed with gentamicin.

The biotechnological potential of these cultures can be demonstrated by biomass and secondary metabolites accumulation. For this reason, growth rate, cellular morphology and viability were assessed. For metabolic potential evaluation, biochemical analyses of total phenolic and flavonoid content, anthocyanin pigments concentrations and antioxidant capacity were performed. The red callus line displayed higher growth rate, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity than the white line. Flavonoids and anthocyanins were present only in the red line. The biomass and these metabolites accumulation varied between subcultures, but were maintained at a high rate, being superior to values reported in planta.

This necessitates the need to follow economically viable forage production. A study was conducted to evaluate the yield and yield related performance of cowpea (Vignia unguiculata L.) varieties under irrigation in 2017 and 2018 years. The experiment was laid down in a split plot design with randomized complete block design (RCBD) arrangement in four replications. There were two main plots of which one was planted with fertilizer and the other one without fertilizer for comparison and the sub plot treatments were eight varieties of Cowpea (Vignia unguiculata) (ILRI 9333, ILRI 9334, ILRI 11114, ILRI 12688, ILRI 12713, Kenkety, Black eye bean and IT92KD258-9). The data collected consisted of plant height (cm), number of branches per plant, forage biomass yield (t ha<sup<-1</sup<), dry matter yield (t ha<sup<-1</sup<), leaf to stem ratio, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, grain yield (kg ha<sup<-1</sup<), thousand seed weight (g) and haulm yield (t ha<sup<-1</sup<). All data were subjected to analysis of variance procedures, with significance test at p<0.05. The results revealed that highest dry biomass yield (t ha<sup<-1</sup<) was recorded when Cowpea varieties ILRI 9334, ILRI 11114, ILRI 12688 and IT92KD258-9 planted with fertilizer. The highest haulm yield was obtained from Cowpea varieties ILRI 9334, ILRI 11114 and ILRI 12713 when planted with fertilizer and when ILRI 9334, ILRI 12688, ILRI 12713 and IT92KD258-9 Cowpea varities planted with out fertilizer. Cowpea varieties Kenkety and IT92KD258-9 produced higher grain yield compared to other varieties. Cowpea varieties ILRI 9333, ILRI 11114, ILRI 12688, ILRI 12713 and IT92KD258-9 when planted with and with out fertilizer; when variety ILRI- 9334 and Kenkety planted only with fertilizer and also variety Black eye bean when planted with out fertilizer was found economically profitable. Therefore, based on the study results, planting Cowpea varieties ILRI 9334, ILRI 11114, ILRI 12688 and IT92KD258-9 with 100 kg ha<sup<-1</sup< NPS fertilizer appears to be more preferable regarding biomass yield and were found potentially profitable.","PeriodicalId":44979,"journal":{"name":"AgroLife Scientific Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43689969","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 beers containing 200 mg/l α-acids, the most significant was the increase in flavonoids (20.6-23.8%) compared to the variant with 120 mg/l α-acids. The polyphenols in highly hopped beer were increased by 6.6-7.1% compared to moderately hopped beer. The content of anthocyanins was not significantly affected by the addition of more hops. Antioxidant activity, expressed as equivalent vitamin C mmol/l, showed an increase of 4-5.2% for highly hopped beers compared to the control variant; when calculated relative to vitamin E, the increase was 5.8-7.5%.

The average index in the variant of the hybrid Teddy F1 was 72.6 cm<sup<2</sup<, Double Sunking F1 - 70.3 cm<sup<2</sup<, Santa Fe F1 - 70.8 cm<sup<2</sup<, respectively. The dependence of the index of leaf blade thickness of sunflower hybrids on the factors under study was analogous: this index was minimal in the variant of the hybrid Teddy F1 - 0.58 mm, it fell to 0.55 mm in the variant of the hybrid Double Sunking F1, it was minimal in the variant of the hybrid Santa Fe F1 - 0.52 mm on the average by Factor В. According to our data, the dependence of the intensity of green color of a leaf blade of sunflower hybrids was similar: this index was not essentially dependent on Factor А, but an increase in the seeding rate caused a reduction in the intensity of green color of leaves in comparison with the sample. If the intensity of the sample color is considered to be 100%, the color of a leaf blade in the variant of the hybrid Teddy F1 was at the level of 73%, that of the hybrid Double Sunking F1 - 69%, and that of the hybrid Santa Fe F1 - 69% of the sample. The least intensity of green color of sunflower leaves was with the maximum seeding rate and did not exceed 62% on the average by Factor А. On the average by Factor В, the hybrid Teddy F1 was considered to be a leader by the content of green pigment in its leaves - 8.69 mg/g, in the variant of the hybrid Santa Fe F1 it was 7.45 mg/g, Double Sunking F1 - 8.02 mg/g. The maximum area of the crop photosynthetic apparatus was formed in the variant of the hybrid Teddy F1 being 30.7 thous. m2/ha at the stage of flowering, in the variant of the hybrid Double Sunking F1 - 29.5 thous. m<sup<2</sup</ha and in the variant of the hybrid Santa Fe F1 - 26.1 thous. m<sup<2</sup</ha, respectively.
