Juniper Publishers Agricultural Research Journal

  Journal of Agriculture Research -  Juniper Publishers As mentioned on the website of this journal, the goal of the journal is to publish articles on new and emerging fields and concepts for providing future directions to promote agricultural research globally. It is a unique journal covering all the disciplines of crop sciences, animal sciences, fishery sciences, forestry sciences and natural resources management sciences, to stimulate interest in inter-disciplinary research. As stated on the magazine’s website, this journal catalyze policy development on issues impacting rational agricultural growth and development globally. To be honest , activity of this magazine is very good and important. General view I have read plenty of articles in this scientific journal over the last two years. This scientific journal evaluates a wide range extensive issues. I am convinced, that mostly high-quality articles are published here because of a wide range of agricultura...

  Journal of Agriculture Research -  Juniper Publishers The tomato Lycopersicum esculentum is one of the most studied, cultivated and consumed vegetables in the world. Studied from a physiological aspect of the plant system: roots, stem, leaves, flowers and fruits. Under different growing conditions are established: soil and hydroponics, and type of substrate. Its management in intensive cultivation systems in horticulture must include: mineral fertilizers, nutrient solution in fertigation, use of biostimulants, and nutritional diagnosis. Plants absorb water and nutrients from the roots, where they are in turn anchored to the soil, or some other means of support related to the root system. Once the variety of interest has been selected. The initial stage includes the germination of the seeds. The seedling length and stem diameter indicate good seedling vigor, in addition, this helps minimize stress during transplantation, especially in soil. Temperature monitor...

  Journal of Agriculture Research -  Juniper Publishers Forest management system as a component of ungulate pest management. Wild ungulates are an important site factor in forests and landscapes. Impacts of ungulates on forest vegetation and the effect of hunting systems are often investigated and discussed. In contrast, the impact of silvicultural systems on forest damage by ungulates is much less conscious. Therefore, in a long-term research program in Central Europe since the 1990ies two questions were investigated additionally, (i) in which way can forest management systems and landscape structures influence the interactions between ungulates and forest vegetation, and (ii) how can silvicultural practices modify the susceptibility of forests to damage by ungulates. The results showed a strong impact of these factors on the emergence of game damage to forests. Factors that are often underestimated in practice. Recommendations for a coordinated management of dif...

  Journal of Agriculture Research -  Juniper Publishers  Food production in industrial symbiosis is an R&D opportunity addressing the food-energy-water nexus and therefore sustainable development. The low-hanging fruit of this opportunity are already being developed in ongoing projects. The urgency of climate action as well as other sustainable development goals merits an accelerated effort to develop and deploy far greater variety and capacity for symbiotic, industrial-scale food production. Three points of departure collectively point to a potential opportunity to create sustainability and resilience with food production in industrial symbiosis: i. The water-energy-food nexus conceptualizes the “inextricable linkages between these critical domains” and is “central to sustainable development1”. ii. Parker & Svantemark (2019) concludes “distributed symbiotic food production can contribute to resilience to the most threatening of the relevant risk...

  Journal of Agriculture Research -  Juniper Publishers  Rice continues to be a primary food for the world’s population. Over its complex history, dating as far back as 8,000 B.C., there have been agricultural challenges, such as a variety of diseases. A consequence of disease in rice plants may lead to no harvest of grain; therefore, detecting disease early and providing expert remedies in a low-cost solution is highly desirable. In this article, we study a pragmatic approach for rice growers to leverage artificial intelligence solutions that reduce cost, increase speed, improve ease of use, and increase model performance over other solutions, thereby directly impacting field operations. Our method significantly improves upon prior methods by combining automated feature extraction for image data, exploring thousands of traditional machine learning configurations, defining a search space for hyper-parameters, deploying a model using edge computing field usabi...

  Journal of Agriculture Research -  Juniper Publishers Canary seed is used as bird food. Recently it is considered a cereal with nutraceutical potential thanks to the bioactive peptides produced during digestion. The objective of this study was to elaborate a fermented and functional milk drink added with aqueous extract of birdseed (EA). In the first stage, the birdseed was subjected to alkaline heat treatment (92 °C/40 min, Ca (OH) 2 1% w/v), to remove the husk from the grain. In the second stage, the aqueous extract of birdseed was obtained and it was mixed in different proportions (75, 50, 25%) with milk (25, 50, 75%) to carry out the fermentation. The final acidity indicated that the YBF75:25 treatment significantly reached the desired value and organoleptic characteristics typical of a yogurt. In the third stage, the bromatological analysis was carried out: moisture (83.5 g/100g YBF), ashes (2.6 g/100g YBF), protein (5.7 g/100g YBF), crude fiber (0.25 g/10...
