Decomposition and nutrient release rates of selected legume residues in a cold semiarid environment of Kenya
Incorporation of legume residues in soil is a low cost option for improving soil fertility, but its effectiveness depends on residue quality. A study was conducted for two seasons (2007 and 2008) to determine the decomposition and nutrient release rates of butter bean, grasspea, common bean and chickpea residues. Chopped legume residues were placed in […]

Influence of Elevation on the Physical Characteristics and Cup Quality Attributes of Robusta Coffee (Coffea canephora) in Sultan Kudarat, Philippines
Coffee is one of the most valued agricultural commodities worldwide, sustaining the livelihood of millions and serving as a cornerstone of many national economies. Yet, despite its global importance, there remains a noticeable gap in scientific research on how environmental factors particularly elevation shape coffee quality in specific regions like the Philippines, particularly Sultan Kudarat. […]
Supply scenario of organic vegetables, problems and constraints: Basis for a proposed planting calendar for organic vegetable farmers in the Cordillera administrative Region, Philippines
The research analysed the supply scenario of organic vegetables and the challenges that stakeholders face which were used as basis for a proposed planting calendar for organic vegetable farmers since production planning is a crucial element in food production, sustainable agriculture and food security. Survey method using a researcher-made questionnaire was utilized to elicit data […]
Prevalence of multidrug resistant Salmonella spp. in raw vegetables in Jessore city, Bangladesh.
Food borne illness especially enteric fever is a common issue all over the world as well as in Bangladesh which results from consuming foods, vegetables or drinking beverages that are contaminated with infectious microorganisms. Antibiotic resistance of microorganisms is now a frequently asked public health concern and very tough to resolve the problem. The present […]
Germination performance of some legume crops under varying soil water available capacities
A laboratory attempt was made to evaluate germination performances of three lentil cultivars namely Nineveh, Adlib and Baraka, besides Common Vetch and Mungbeans under varying soil water availabilities. Soils were moistened to 100, 75, 50 and 25% of its water available capacity and were used as germinating media. Germinating seeds in 0% soil AWC depletion […]
Germination performance of some legume crops under varying filter paper moistures
Adverse effects of water stress without ions interactions in Baraka, Adlib and Nineveh lentil cultivars have been investigated. Results showed that germination under saturation (0 AWC depletion %) was the paramount treatment as it manifested the highest values. It profoundly surpassed that of 25, 50, and 75 AWC depletion % in terms of final germination […]
Seed germination in response to osmotic stress
An Attempt was carried out to evaluate seed germination performances of Baraka, Adlib and Nineveh lentil cultivars besides Local Vetch and Local Mungbean cultivar under (0, -0.5, -1 and -1.5 Mpa) osmotic potentials created by dissolving pure NaCl in distilled water. Gradual reductions in osmotic solutions resulted in gradual reduction in all detected parameters. Subsequently, […]
