Abstract The quality of cattle feed plays a significant role in increasing the performance quality of beef cattle. Most of the farmers are facing constraint to provide the good feed in affordable prices. This research was aimed to determine the effect of given integration feed of improved-legume and food crops to daily weight gain, chest girth, shoulder height and body length of fattening Bali cattle of farmers in West Timor. The research method was arranged as in a double Latin Square Design (LSD), consisted of 5 treatments (T0; local feeds by farmers in West Timor. T1; integration feed of Brachiaria hybrid cv. Mulato + legume Clitoria ternatea + corn + Vigna umbellata + Cucurbita maxima, T2; integration feed of Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott + legume Clitoria ternatea + corn + Vigna umbellata + Cucurbita maxima, T3; integration feed Setaria sphacelata + legume Clitoria ternatea + corn + Vigna umbellata + Cucurbita maxima, T4; integration feed Brachiaria decumbens + legume Clitoria ternatea + corn + Vigna umbellata + Cucurbita maxima) and 5 periods as replications. The observed responses were weight gain, chest circumference, shoulder height and length of fattening. The observed animals were 10 male Bali cattle that belongs to farmers and with an age ranged between 1-1.5 years and body weight ranged between 101-134 kg (average of 114.25 kg and a coefficient variation (CV) of 6.12%). The results showed that the integrated feed gave a significantly different performance of beef cattle. The most economical composition of integrated feed was the T1 which was able to increase the performance of the cattle compared with the control treatment. This results concluded that the integrated feed fed had a very significant effect on the daily body weight gain, chest girth, shoulder height and body length of the fattened Bali cattle. Economically and the ease of use of feed fed indicated that the composition of T1 treatment gave a greater contribution of 23.53% compared with the control treatment.

High Quality Seed

Seed production of field crops plays a key role in ensuring food security of the country and is a continuation of the selection process, a necessary link for the development and maintenance of the variety. In seed production, the main object is a variety that is genetically close to each other a certain group of plants, homogeneous in morphological and biological properties. The finish of high-quality seed production is seeds with good varietal and sowing qualities. The main condition for effective production of field crops is a well-established seed production system, which is a set of functionally interconnected structures engaged in the production of elite and reproductive seeds. Seed production of field crops solves two main tasks: variety exchange and variety renewal. When a variety is changed, one zoned variety is replaced by another with more valuable economic characteristics. During variety renewal, varietal seeds in farms are replaced with seeds of the same varieties, but of higher reproductions. Usually, seeds for cereals and legumes are updated every 3-4 years, for millet - every 2 years, for sunflower - annually. The main goal of seed production of field crops is to maintain a set of characteristics of the variety, its most valuable qualities and economic indicators.

One of the leading grain crops in Russia is spring wheat. This is a strategic food crop of our country; it is also an important component in the structure of forage crops for monogastric animals, such as pigs and poultry. The purpose of the research was to evaluate spring soft wheat varieties of different maturity groups in order to identify genotypes as the starting material for obtaining varieties adapted to the cultivation zones, and to determine the areas optimal for the production of grain for seed purposes with high quality indicators. Field studies have been carried out in three ecologically different zones: the Priobskaya zone, the Prialtaiskaya zone, and the Prisalairskaya zone. Under the conditions of the Altai Territory, genetic sources of spring soft wheat have been identifi ed for different soil and climatic parameters of the study zones, the use of which will allow obtaining high-yielding varieties with high quality grain for specific cultivation conditions. The variability of the indicators of the characteristics of varieties in three ecologically different zones has been determined. The indicators of adaptability and stability of spring soft wheat varieties in different zones of cultivation have been determined. The optimal zones for conducting breeding work and seed production of varieties have been identifi ed. New scientific data on the quality parameters of seed grain in various agro-climatic zones of the Altai Territory have been obtained. The share of the contribution of the factors “variety”, “year”, “environment” to the variability of grain quality characteristics has been established. The economic efficiency of cultivating varieties of spring soft wheat for the production of high-quality seed grain has been determined.

Land Farming

The present study analyses the energy-budget of ‘village ecosystems’ in a dry tropical environment. These systems depend to a great extent on the surrounding natural forest/savanna ecosystems. Accordingly the objectives of the study were to quantify (i) the energy efficiency of rain-fed agriculture at the ecosystem level, and (ii) the indirect impact of agricultural activity on the surrounding forest/savanna ecosystems.Agronomic output from farming is not sufficient to meet the food-energy requirements of the villagers, hence 27.0 to 51.0% of the requirement is met from outside markets. Operation of the agro-ecosystems involved requires a considerable amount of subsidy from the surrounding forest/savanna ecosystems in terms of fodder and fuel-wood. About 81 to 100% of the fuel needs, and 80–87% of the fodder needs, are met from the natural forest/savanna ecosystems. Thus, for each unit of energy obtained in agronomic yield (including milk), 3.1 units of energy are expended from the surrounding natural ecosystems in the form of fodder and fuel-wood.The erratic and ill-distributed nature of monsoon rains results in moisture deficit which affects the crop production in dry-land farming, causing partial or total failure of the crops. For achieving increased and stable agronomic production under rain-fed conditions, improved dry-land farming techniques have to be applied. Some of these techniques are: (1) introduction of crops and varieties that would be capable of maturing in a period of 90–100 days, and adequate use of appropriate fertilizers; (2) planned rain-water management including storage of surface runoff; and (3) practices of intercropping with crops of longer duration than those currently grown, having slow growth-rates in the early part of their life-cycles.
