The role of Moringa oleifera in agro-ecosystems: A review
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2021-03)
Moringa has been grown and cultivated in various agro-ecosystems ranging from small-scale backyard home gardens to large scale commercial production in tropical and sub-tropical agro-climatic ecosystems. It is grown in ...
Biomass yield of Moringa oleifera as influenced by plant density and harvest frequency
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2017-05-09)
This study was conducted to determine the leaf biomass of moringa as influenced by plant density and frequency of pruning. Moringa plants were grown at four plant spacings and densities: a) 1×1 m (10,000 plants ha<sup>-1</sup> ...
Horticultural characterization of AVRDC moringa germplasm in the Philippines and Taiwan
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2015-12-06)
The major objective of this study was to evaluate a subset of the AVRDC Moringa oleifera germplasm collection for important horticultural traits in the Philippines and Taiwan. The 18 AVRDC moringa accessions originated from India, Laos, Philippines, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand and USA. Three-month-old seedlings were transplanted onto single-row raised beds spaced 1.5 m apart. Plants were arranged in a randomized block design with three replications. Data were collected on plant height, stem diameter, number of branches, canopy width, fresh and dry biomass (stems and leaves), days to flowering, and pod/seed yield. In Taiwan, one month after transplanting four accessions attained a plant height of above 1 m. Number of side branches ranged from 9 to 14 per plant. Differences in plant height and stem diameter were significant at 70 days after transplanting (DAT). Tallest plants (2.9 m) were observed in LSQUOMo-35RSQUO from Tanzania while LSQUOMo-8RSQUO from Thailand produced the largest stem diameter (36 cm). Leaf fresh weight and dry biomass was highest (15.8 and 9.2 t ha<sup>-1</sup>, respectively) for LSQUOMo-35RSQUO at 70 DAT. Survival and stand count decreased after two strong typhoons and severe flooding in 2009 and 2010. In the Philippines, accessions LSQUOMo-2RSQUO (USA) and LSQUOMo-40RSQUO (India) produced the tallest plants 28 weeks after second pruning. Mean stem diameter ranged from 3.5 cm (LSQUOMo-34RSQUO) to 8.5 cm (LSQUOMo-4RSQUO). LSQUOMo-38RSQUO (Thailand) produced the highest number of branches. Two accessions from Thailand (LSQUOMo-4RSQUO and LSQUOMo-14RSQUO) resulted in the highest leaf fresh weight, which exceeded 20 t ha<sup>-1</sup> from two prunings, while LSQUOMo-29RSQUO (India) produced the highest dry leaf biomass. Most accessions tolerated waterlogged conditions with 60-100% plant survival stand count. The results indicate that there are moringa accessions with promising horticultural traits for the high rainfall climate of Southeast Asia....

(Association of Agricultural Technology in Southeast Asia (AATSEA), 2022-07)
The study related to the technical performance of the different appropriate technologies developed in Iloilo City, Philippines to introduce the agriculture sector machinery and equipment access and solutions towards ...
Results of a value adding test to produce alternative fuels and raw materials (AFR) for industrial purposes and for household energy supply with appropriate technology
(2009-10)
The application of “Waste-to-Energy” is hardly practiced in developing countries. However, a utilization as “Alternative Fuels and Raw materials” (AFR), for instance in cement kilns or for household energy supply (e.g. for ...
Environmental effects on the resistance of rice seedlings to complete submergence
(Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), 1972-03-01)
The survival of rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L.) after complete Submergence in water decreased with increased duration of submergence; with increased depth, temperature, and turbidity of water; and with increased rates of N fertilization. Survival increased with high light intensity and plant carbohydrate content. Factors that influence the survival of submerged plants also determine the amounts of N and carbohydrate in the plant....
The influence of silica and nitrogen fertilization on growth and yield of Peta and Chianung 242 lowland rice varieties
(1965)
Rice culture will remain the focus of agricultural research in Asia until more of the countries become self-sufficient in this crop. More scientific results from laboratory and field experiments must be pooled and applied ...
Physiological responses of cockerels given crude mimosine acid extract (CMAE) and exogenous gonadotrophins
(1979)
A 2 x 4 factorial experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of crude mimosine acid extract (CMAE) with or without exogenous gonadotrophins on the physiological responses of the cockerels; and to verify whether ...
The validity and reliability estimates of communication value orientation test
(1989)
The study sought to establish a relatively reliable and valid communication value orientation (CVO) test and build a theory using CVO as the focal point.
The study was conducted in two villages of Iloilo using a complete ...
The nutrient composition, digestibility and nitrogen retention by sheep of four vacuum-ensiled grasses
(1969)
The chemical composition of forage or any other feedstuff is a very useful but insufficient information on which to judge its nutritive value for a particular class of livestock. To get a better index, it is necessary to ...
