Socio-economic characterisation of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) growers and date value chains in Pakistan
(Biomed Central, 2016-08-02)
Increasing food production to feed its rapidly growing population is a major policy goal of Pakistan. The production of traditional staples such as rice (Oryza sativa L.) and bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has been intensified in many regions, but not in remote, drought-ridden areas. In these arid, marginal environments dates and their by-products are an option to complement staples given their high nutritive value and storability. To fill knowledge gaps about the role of date palm in the household (HH) income ...

Post-harvest handling practices and associated food losses in sweetpotato and cassava value chains of southern Ethiopia
(2018-02-12)
In dieser Studie wurden die Nachernte-Ketten von Süßkartoffel und Maniok in Südäthiopien untersucht. Schlüsselfaktoren, die für Nahrungsmittelverluste verantwortlich sind, wurden identifiziert und mögliche Verbesserungsmaßnahmen vorgeschlagen.
Es wurden innerhalb der Süßkartoffel-Wertschöpfungskette die landwirtschaftlichen Betriebe und der Einzelhandel mit einem Ausschuss von bis zu 20% bzw. 25% als "hot-spots"

Entwicklung eines Online-Messverfahrens zur Bestimmung des Bodenbedeckungsgrades bei der Stoppelbearbeitung zu Mulchsaatverfahren
(2010-08-13)
Die vorliegende Arbeit ist Teil eines Verbund-Forschungsprojektes mit dem Ziel, eine Präzisions-Bodenbearbeitung in Abhängigkeit von verschiedenen Bodenparametern sowie dem Bodenbedeckungsgrad zu realisieren. Ziel dieses Teilprojektes war die Bereitstellung einer Online-Messung des Bedeckungsgrades, um die Bearbeitungsintensität während der Feldüberfahrt regeln zu können: Ein Kamerasensor vorne am Schlepper ermittelt die Bodenbedeckung und ein Tiefen-Sollwert wird an das Regelsystem eines Gerätes zur teilfächenspezifischen ...

Lignocellulosic biorefinery with a thermo-biological pretreatment concept
(2023)
There is great interest, not only in technologically advanced societies, in developing innovative sources of raw materials, especially lignocellulosic biomasses such as cereal straw, which do not interfere with food production. In Germany, 4 – 9 million tons of cereal straw, mainly wheat, are utilized annually, corresponding to an energy potential of 57 – 129 PJ/a. Lignocellulose, found in plant cell walls, consists of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin, and it requires complex fractionation to enable its polymers ...

Strategies towards evaluation beyond scientific impact
(Librello, 2015)
Various research fields, like organic agricultural research, are dedicated to solving real-world problems and contributing to sustainable development. Therefore, systems research and the application of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches are increasingly endorsed. However, research performance depends not only on self-conception, but also on framework conditions of the scientific system, which are not always of benefit to such research fields. Recently, science and its framework conditions have been ...

Optimization of drying process for better quality retention of dried potato
(2018-06-05)
According to the World Food Organization, nearly half of all root and tuber crops worldwide are not consumed, but are lost due to inappropriate storage and post-harvest losses. In developing countries such as Ethiopia, potatoes have not been dried, but are traditionally stored in potato clamps. So far, dried potatoes have not been converted into usable foods. The aim of the present work is to convert potatoes - perishable rootlets and tubers - into stable products by hot air drying. Hot air dryers are economical to ...

Denaturation mechanism of whey protein by using the hot extrusion technology
(2022-02)
Milk proteins are one of the heat-sensitive nutritional components, especially whey proteins changing their structure through thermal treatment, consequently denaturizing and aggregating. The transformation of native whey proteins structure in presence of shear stress resulted in the microparticulation, which affected the functional properties. Many authors investigated these parameters with different conditions; however, understanding the combination of relevant parameters of the microparticulation process of whey ...

Yield performance and weed control efficiency of organically managed silage maize double cropping systems
(2023)
Maize is among the three most important crops worldwide, while its multifunctional nature allows a diversified use. However, the traditional (silage) maize production often has negative side-effects related to the unprotected soil surface — e.g., erosion, weed pressure and related mechanical weed control. There are several alternative management systems to enhance the sustainability of (silage) maize production. However, the means and strength of influence are still unclear in some cases. Therefore, the current thesis ...

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 ...

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 ...
