Open field screening of the productive parameters, protein content, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant capacity of maize (Zea mays L.) in the marginal uplands of southern Madagascar
(2019-10-14)
Madagascar is recognised as having both a high level of poverty and a food shortage. The contribution of the agricultural sector to the national income is higher than for any other sector, though this sector remains insufficiently developed to sustain national food demand. In order to increase food production, the diversification of staple food in conjunction with the detection of best-yield genotypes may be considered the simplest and least expensive alternative approach. For this reason, the response of productive ...

Effect of salt stress on muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) seeds
(2019-12-16)
Cucumis melo is one of the most appreciated and consumed vegetables in the world, however, producing areas have been suffering from increased salinity in irrigation water. Therefore, accesses of melon, from the germplasm bank of the Federal Rural Semi-Arid University (UFERSA), were tested for salinity and the physiological responses of the seedlings were evaluated. For the 24 accesses of C. melo, salinity of 0.06 and 3.45 dS m-1 was applied. For this, four subsamples of 25 seeds per access were used, which were seeded ...

Qualitätsmanagement
(2019)
Die vorliegende Thesis mit dem Titel „Qualitätsmanagement. Status quo und Umsetzung an Hochschulen – eine empirische Studie“, klärt die Frage, ob es Konzepte gibt, die mit dem Thema Qualitätsmanagement (QM) in Zusammenhang stehen und von welcher Art diese sind. Darauf aufbauend wird untersucht, wie QM an Hochschulen umgesetzt wird und ob generische Empfehlungen zur Einführung und Weiterentwicklung eines QM-Systems an Hochschulen gegeben werden können. Die Untersuchung gliedert sich in eine Vorstudie und eine empirische ...

Manure application effects on nitrogen pools in a subtropical soil of Oman
(2019-04)
Agricultural productivity of the millennia-old oasis agriculture in Oman is based on the continuous application of high rates of goat and sheep manure combined with flood irrigation. The high nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) turnover in these systems is a result of year-around high temperatures and continuous soil moisture, but knowledge is lacking on how N and C are transformed under these conditions. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the N movement in different soil N pools. To this end a field experiment was ...

Financial Access and Food Productivity Nexus: Evidence from Pakistan
(Section Specialized Partnerships in Sustainable Food Systems and Food Sovereignty at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2018-12-26)
Food possesses a great importance in the lives of human beings as it provides energy and strength to the human body to think, grow and develop. The global population is increasing day by day, becoming even more difficult to manage food for every human being on earth. It is the responsibility of every state to provide food for its citizens. “Zero Hunger” is one of the major goals of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs’) which aims to eradicate hunger from world. Several causes of food insecurity are identified by ...
