An experiment was carried out to assess the nutritional value along with quality of curds in late season cauliflower varieties at Rampur, Chitwan during November 2017 to March, 2018. The eleven late season cauliflower varieties were Freedom, Titan, Ravella, Amazing, Artica, Bishop, Casper, Indam 9803, NS 106, Snow Mystique and Snowball 16 which were introduced from USA, Europe, India and Nepal. The experiment was prepared in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. The main objective of this study was to check the nutritional content, taste, compactness, appearance and freshness of the curds in eleven late season cauliflower varieties at Rampur, Chitwan. Nutritional value along with taste quality, compactness, appearance and freshness of the curds were measured after harvest. Maximum moisture and carbohydrate content was found in Freedom while higher crude fat was obtained in Titan and Bishop. Similarly, higher crude protein and crude fiber was found in NS 106. Significantly better taste score (8.8) was found in Snowball 16 than other varieties. Better compactness score of curd was found in Artica and Titan than other varieties. Significantly better appearance score (8.0) was found in Artica but poor appearance score was found in Casper than other varieties. At different intervals after harvesting of curds, significantly fresher curds were found in Artica than other varieties. In conclusion, NS 106 performed higher content of crude protein and crude fiber while Snowball 16 executed better tasty curds than other varieties. Artica also showed better performance on freshness of curds than other varieties. Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol. Vol 8(4): 427-431

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of combined phosphorus and nitrogen fertilization and of harvesting frequency on the chemical composition of 'Gigante' cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) cladodes. The experiment was carried out in two municipalities, Quixadá and Tejuçuoca, in the state of Ceará, Brazil. Fertilization with nitrogen (urea) and phosphorus (single superphosphate) was done with nine doses, respectively: 10 and 70, 70 and 10, 70 and 70, 70 and 130, 100 and 100, 130 and 70, 130 and 130, 130 and 190, and 190 and 130 kg ha-1 per year, besides 100 kg ha-1 N and P2O5 per year as the control. The harvesting frequencies evaluated were annual and biannual. A randomized complete block design was adopted, in split plot, with four replicates. The effect of fertilization on the contents of total dry matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, organic matter, and total carbohydrates in the cladodes varies with harvesting frequency and site. Regarding harvesting frequency, there were higher contents of organic matter, total carbohydrates, and neutral detergent fiber, but lower contents of crude protein for the biannual harvesting in both municipalities. Annual harvesting improves the nutritional quality of primary and secondary cladodes in the municipality of Quixadá and of secondary and tertiary cladodes in Tejuçuoca.

An experiment was conducted at Field Laboratory of the Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to compare the fiber yield, physical and biochemical properties of three Sesbania species. A total of 38 accessions, 28 from S. bispinosa, 4 from S. cannabina and 5 from S. sesban were used as experimental materials.  Seeds were sown @ 30 kg ha-1 on 23 April, 2016 following randomized complete block design with three replications. Each plot size was 4.0×2.5 m2 maintaining at the spacing of 50 cm row to row and 15 cm plant to plant. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing and plant height, base diameter, plant fresh weight and dry fiber as well as dry stick weight were measured. The fiber yield was the highest in S. bispinosa (2.18 g plant-1) and the lowest in S. sesban (1.40 g plant-1). Fiber luster (%), strength (g tex-1) and crude fiber (%) showed significant differences among these three species. Both fiber luster and strength showed the highest value in S. cannabina (53.50% and 51.20 g tex-1, respectively) and the lowest in S. sesban (35.16% and 33.68 g tex-1). Crude fiber (%) was also the maximum in S. cannabina (41.41%) and the minimum in S. sesban (25.57%). It may, therefore, be concluded that fiber quality of S. cannabina was superior to other species and could be possible to blend with other natural fiber for industrial purposes. Bangladesh Agron.

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to evaluate the agronomic productive and qualitative traits of forage of black oats grown in different stands of plants. The experimental design was a 2 x 2 factorial randomized complete block design consisting of four treatments, two plant stands (175 and 350 plants m2) associated with two successive cutting periods (vegetative and full vegetative) and four replications. The stand of plants did not influence the production of dry biomass; with 175 plants m2, we obtained a compensatory effect by the greater number of tillers m2-1 and/or tiller plant-1. The population stand influenced the chemical parameters, where 175 plants m2 resulted in forage with higher contents of hemicellulose and total digestible nutrients and a lower content of neutral detergent fiber. In the comparison between cuts, the first cut compared to the second presented higher values of crude protein (26.53%). It is recommended that the black oat be cultivated with a population stand of 175 plants m2 for generating an increase in the number of tillers m2-1 and tillers plant-1, in addition to improving the in situ dry matter digestibility of the whole plant, without causing reduction of production of dry biomass per unit area.

The experiment was conducted at Horticulture Farm of Agriculture and Forestry University, Rampur, Nepal during the November 2016 to March 2018 for two consecutive years to assess the characteristics on postharvest quality of late season cauliflower varieties. The experiment was laid in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with the eleven late season cauliflower varieties viz., Freedom, Titan, Ravella, Amazing, Artica, Bishop, Casper, Indam 9803, NS 106, Snow Mystique, and Snowball 16, each replicated with four times. Significantly higher TSS value of 5.7º Brix was produced by Snowball 16 than other varieties. Considerably higher vitamin C of 49 mg/100 g was found in Amazing than other varieties. Significantly lower physiological loss in weight of 5.3%, 9.6% and 15.6% was found in Artica at three, six and nine days after harvesting, respectively. Higher score for the taste of curd was 8.8 in Snowball 16 followed by Amazing while lower score for taste of the curd was 4.8 in Indam 9803 variety. The attractive color and more compact curd score of 8.4 was found in both Titan and Artica than other varieties. Therefore, it can be concluded that Snowball 16 and Amazing varieties were the best open pollinated varieties for taste of the curd and composition of chemical constitutes. Bishop, Snow Mystique, NS 106, Artica and Titan varieties were other probable hybrid varieties based on their overall postharvest characteristics.

 This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional characteristics and quality of silages of five sorghum genotypes, namely: Volumax, AG2005E, Qualimax, BRS610 and AG2501. The study was conducted at the Experimental Farm Unimontes, in the municipality of Janaúba, state of Minas Gerais. The treatments were distributed in a randomized block design with four replicates. Data were tested by analysis of variance andmeans were compared by Scott-Knott test at a significance level of 5%. The pH values ranged from 3.93 and 4.10. Genotypes differed in all studied nutritional characteristics (p < 0.05). For the acid detergent fiber, differences were detected between the genotypes, AG2501 (35.66%), Volumax (34.89%), AG2005E (34.53%), Qualimax (32.39%) and BRS610 (33.60%). The high participation of lignin was verifiedin all genotypes except for Volumax (4.14%). All silages were within the recommended range 50-65% for in vitro dry matter digestibility and classified as having good quality, however only the AG2005E genotype met nitrogen requirements for microbial fermentation, with 7.06% crude protein.

Pollen Quantity

Squash seeds yield and quality can be improved by proper population plant spacing and the pollen quantity, which influences the pollination quality and fertilization. Nine experiments were conducted as a factorial combination of three spacing between plants (0.8 x 0.3, 0.8 x 0.6 and 0.8 x 0.9 m), two quantities of pollen (50% of an anther and another entire one) and natural insect pollination. Seed and fruit production parameters, and seed quality were evaluated. A randomized complete block design, five replications, with ten plants per plot was adopted. Larger plant spacing increased the average number of mature fruits and seed yield per plant. Seed yield was directly proportional to the amount of pollen used during pollination. Higher amounts of pollen resulted in higher seed yield per area, but the plant spacing did not affect this characteristic. Manual pollination, using a whole anther, did not differ from natural pollination in relation to seed yield and quality.
