Management effects on soil microbial functions at a South-Indian rural-urban interface
(2023-06)
Urbanization leads to effects on many aspects of ecosystems and societies. Among the affected are agricultural systems and, specifically, soils. One of the most evident pathways of urbanization effects on agricultural soils is through an increased demand for agricultural commodities requiring agricultural intensification, hence, changes in management practices that alter soils.
In this context, the purpose of this study was to understand how the main agricultural management practices taking place in urbanizing ...

Cooperatives as instruments of smallholder development: Evidence from banana, cocoa, coffee, and palm oil producers in Peru
(2023-11)
Collective action in the agricultural sector of Peru started in the form of agrarian production cooperatives around 1969. Following the collapse of the collectivisation program in the 1980s, external stakeholders helped to form marketing cooperatives in select sectors to discourage coca leaf production. Nowadays, cooperatives are only active in four sectors: banana, cocoa, coffee, and palm oil. Case study evidence of the performance of cooperatives in Peru is mixed, which raises the need for applied research to inform ...

Newly implemented crop-livestock-forest systems increase available water and aeration in soils of the Brazilian Savannah
(2023-11-21)
There is a growing demand for cropping systems that guarantee food production by improving the use efficiency of natural resources such as soil and water. The crop-livestock-forest (CLF) system is a form of sustainable intensification in which biodiversity and yields are increased on the same area. In this study, the physical-hydric properties of a Ferralsol and Cambisol in Central Brazil within the Savannah biome (Cerrado) were investigated 2 and 1 year after implementation of CLF systems. Soil samples were collected ...

Exploring the non-genetic factors that affect reproductive traits of Saanen goats in Indonesia
(2023-11)
Adjustment of trait records for different non-genetic factors increases the accuracy of genetic parameters and enables more accurate selection. This study aimed to investigate the non-genetic factors affecting reproductive traits in Saanen goats at the Baturraden breeding centre, Indonesia. The data of 71 Saanen does from the years 2014 to 2021 consisted of reproductive traits, namely, total birth weight (TBW), age at first kidding (AFK), kidding interval (KI), litter size (LS), multiple birth rate (MBR) and kidding ...

Organische Düngung und reduzierte Bodenbearbeitung als Steuerungsfaktoren für die C-, N-, P- und S-Speicherung von Mikroorganismen
(kassel university press, 2010-07-12)
In dieser Arbeit wurden zum einen die Auswirkungen mineralischer und organischer Düngung und zum anderen der Einfluss reduzierter Bodenbearbeitung (Kreiselegge) im Vergleich zum Einsatz des Wendepfluges auf die Nährstoffspeicherung der mikrobiellen Biomasse untersucht. Dabei wurde deutlich, dass sowohl organische Düngung als auch die reduzierte Bodenbearbeitung zu einer Erhöhung des organischen Kohlenstoffs (Corg), des Stickstoff-Gesamtgehalts (N) und des mikrobiellen Biomasse Kohlenstoffs (Cmik) und Stickstoffs ...

Matter flows and balances in urban vegetable gardens of Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso (West Africa)
(kassel university press, 2012-07-30)
Many efforts are undertaken for sustaining urban agriculture in African cities. This study therefore investigated nutrient management practices in urban vegetable gardens of Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso (West Africa). Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and carbon (C) fluxes were quantified and nutrient balances calculated for three gardens representing the typical commercial gardening + field crops and livestock system (cGCL) and three gardens representing the commercial gardening + semi-commercial field ...

Process optimisation and non-destructive quality attributes monitoring during drying: A case study of celeriac slices and characterisation of its powder
(2023)
This study investigated strategies applied in drying technology to produce an optimised quality of plant-sourced food while considering environmental and sustainability aspects based on a case study of celeriac and powder, respectively. The I-optimal design of response surface methodology with 30 experiment runs was applied for process optimisation. Pre-drying treatments (blanching at 85 °C, 3 min; dipping in 1% citric acid solution, 3 min; no pre-drying treatment), drying temperatures (50, 60, and 70 °C), air ...
