Induction of flowering in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) using plant growth regulators, pruning and extended photoperiod through night-breaks
Cassava is a food security crop in Kenya, whose production is hampered by cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD). These challenges require urgent resistance breeding. Crossing of varieties in cassava is disadvantaged by poor and asynchronous flowering. This study aimed to induce and enhance flowering in CBSD immune and resistant clones with variable flowering characteristics. Two...

The determination of chemical composition in some vinegars and compliance with food legislation
This paper covers that the six different brands sold (genuine-organic-synthetic apples and grapes) in Turkey and spontaneous fermentation vinegars produced with seven fruits (apple, white and red grapes, mandarin, pear, carrot, melon) in the laboratory had been analyzed according to pH value, acidity, density, the amount of dry matter, color measurement, the ash content and the water activity. The aim of the study was...

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and R fitting curve for quantifying rhizobacteria and foliar bio-fertilizer combination performances on maize crop growth process in an arid soil
Studies have suggested that microorganisms in the rhizosphere have the potential to improve soil fertility without causing any environmental problems. Previous studies have shown a synergistic interaction between these microorganisms and foliar bio-fertilizers as an acceptable practice for improving maize and soybean growth and yield in the arid agro-climate of Korhogo, Northern Côte d'Ivoire. In this study,...
