ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE TRADE AND ITS IMPORTANCE FOR SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY


An Evaluation of Kernel Zinc in Hybrids of Elite Quality Protein Maize (QPM) and Non-QPM Inbred Lines Adapted to the Tropics Based on a Mating Design

Genetic improvement of maize with elevated levels of zinc (Zn) can reduce Zn deficiency among populations who rely on maize as a staple.Inbred lines of quality protein maize (QPM) and non-QPM with elevated Zn levels in the kernel have been identified.However, information about the optimal strategy to utilize the germplasm in breeding for high-Zn co

Should Soil Testing Services Measure Soil Biological Activity?

Health of agricultural soils depends largely on conservation management to promote soil organic matter accumulation.Total soil organic st1000nm0008 matter changes slowly, but active fractions are more dynamic.A key indicator of healthy soil is potential biological activity, which could be measured rapidly with soil testing services via the flush of
