The factors which influence the age-related decline in production performance and increases in meat toughness in broiler breeder hens are poorly understood. We have hypothesized that the elevated plasma concentration of glucose contributes to the nonenzymatic attachment of gluco…
Seed furrow sidewall smearing by planter double disk openers in clay loam and loam soils was investigated in field and growth chamber experiments. Treatment variables were row preparation, soil moisture, and planting period. Evaluation parameters were soil bulk density, air perm…
An approach for obtaining the optimal design of level basin irrigation systems based upon the maximum net benefit was developed. Zero-inertia simulation results of Clemmens and Dedrick were used to establish the relationships between DU and the design variables, and flow depth a…
Agriculture is the largest sector of the economy of Pakistan. A population growth rate of over 3 percent, rising per capita incomes, a growing local agro-based industry and heavy dependence on agricultural products (mainly rice and cotton) as a source of foreign exchange puts a …
